Black Tower, 66th Floor.

To the left, a towering spire stretched skywards, while to the right, a massive red fortress wall was visible.

“Follow me.”

“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”

Piyo!

[Hurry and lead the way!]

Panchen, with a sly smile, led Theo and Piyot to the black market.

The black market, dealing in illegally obtained goods, was operated very secretly across various floors of the Black Tower.

Especially, no one knew where the headquarters of the black market was located. Even regular patrons didn’t know its exact location.

The place Panchen was heading to was a branch of the black market. However, Panchen had a way to get to the headquarters.

The destination was to the right, towards the red fortress walls, in the city inhabited by the Red Orcs called “Red Fortress.”

“Pass!”

As Panchen approached, the Red Orcs allowed Panchen, Theo, and Piyot to pass without checking them.

It was expected. The Red Orcs were Theo’s slaves. They let him through upon recognizing him.

However,

‘Pfft. When did dad bribe the guards?’

Panchen thought it was due to the influence of the black market.

“Are we still far away, meow?!”

“We’re almost there. Just a little bit further.”

Panchen replied with a kind voice to Theo, who was getting annoyed.

‘Your path to the afterlife is not far now.’

Thinking of dealing with Theo and Piyot, Panchen entered a narrow alleyway.

“Here we are.”

Panchen took out a key from his possession,

and opened a door to an ordinary house, entering inside.

A moment later.

Thud. Thud.

Armored Red Orc soldiers surrounded the house that Theo entered.

And then,

“Giant Fang-nim, we’re here! Theo-nim has entered this house!”

“Understood. Wait here until Theo-nim comes out!”

The ruler of the Red Orcs, Giant Fang, waited in front of the house for Theo to emerge.

***

As Theo and Piyot followed Panchen inside, a space filled with thousands of items was revealed.

“Meow?! What is this, meow?!”

From the outside, it looked like a small house, but inside, it was spacious enough to accommodate thousands of people.

It was a place enhanced with space expansion magic, a method often used when creating branches of the black market.

“Welcome to the black market! Please, come in!”

100 black market employees greeted them,

“Is there anything you wish for?”

One of the employees approached Theo and asked.

“I want the land deed for the 70th floor, meow!”

“The land deed for the 70th floor? We have it. Please, follow me. I’ll guide you.”

“Puhuhut. Excellent, meow!”

Pleased by the employee’s words, Theo happily followed the employee. Piyot too.

As they followed the employee deeper into the space,

Swoosh.

“Kukukuk! So, you’re the bold ones who dared to mess with young master Panchen?”

The black market employees drew out swords and axes, surrounding Theo and Piyot.

“Meow?! Where did Panchen go, meow?”

Suddenly, Panchen was nowhere to be seen.

“What, meow?! Did Panchen trick us, meow?! No way! There’s no land deed for the 70th floor, meow?!”

Theo, who cared more about the land deed for the 70th floor than Panchen, angrily questioned the employee.

“Kukuk. Of course, it doesn’t exist. Worry about your lives before such things!”

The land deed for the 70th floor didn’t exist from the start. The employees lied to separate the two from Panchen.

Piyo! Piyo?!

[How dare you lie to Theo-nim?! What should we do, Theo-nim?!]

Piyot moved its neck left and right, asking.

“Haak! Haak! Piyot, don’t interfere, meow! I will fight alone, meow!”

Angry about delaying his return to Sejun, Theo stepped forward, declaring he would fight alone.

Since he was going to fight anyway, he planned to test the dragon skin he received from Kellion.
