Bleach Stronger by AFK - Chapter 74

Before hanging up the phone, a thought suddenly flashed through Hayashi Rikawa’s mind, and after some thought, he directly asked, “Where did you guys get the meteorite from before?”
“From black market traders.” Kou Hansei didn’t hide anything and answered frankly.

This was not a secret in the transcendent circles.
“The federal government has strict control over meteorites, prohibiting them from circulating in the public, so they can’t be bought in the market at all. If small gangs like us want meteorites, we can only trade them in the black market, unlike large transcendent powers like Night Song and Thousand Heavens, which have specialized channels to obtain meteorites.”

So that’s how it was.
Hayashi Rikawa suddenly realized, and asked curiously, “What is the current price of meteorite in the black market?”
“Around 16,000 White Crown Dollars per gram.”

Hayashi Rikawa was dumbfounded at this.
Although he had already known that meteorites were incredibly expensive, he had never imagined that they would actually be this expensive, and that the price would already far exceed that of gold of the same weight.
It was ridiculous that he couldn’t even afford to buy a gram of meteorite with his entire fortune.

Involuntarily, Hayashi Rikawa recalled the fist-sized meteorite he had obtained from the Black Spider Gang, and vaguely remembered that the meteorite was at least one catty, or 500 grams, which would be eight million White Crown Dollars.
In the end, only 12 crystals came out of that meteorite.
In other words, 1 crystal was equivalent to about 600,000 to 700,000 White Crown Dollars, and it takes 100 crystals to upgrade to VIP3……

The number that Hayashi Rikawa arrived at after estimating in his mind made him stagger.
Kou Hansei on the other end of the cell phone didn’t notice his astonishment at all, and continued, “Even so, meteorites are still priceless, basically as soon as they appear on the black market, they will be bought immediately, and most of the time, the sellers of meteorites are more than willing to barter, or treat them as the reward for certain quests.”

“Mission reward?” Hayashi Rikawa’s heart stirred.
“Well, there are often quests posted on the black market, most of which require the use of extraordinary powers to solve, and the rewards are usually very generous, with meteorites being the most popular.”

It sounded like the functions of an adventure guild.
Hayashi Rikawa couldn’t help but feel a little eager to try it out.
There was no need to spend money on meteorites, he didn’t have that many White Crown Dollars, but obtaining them through the form of mission rewards wasn’t a bad idea either.

On the other hand, waiting passively for a meteorite to appear was not an option, it was too inefficient, and he would like to have at least one way to obtain one if he could.
In a flash of his mind, Hayashi Rikawa quickly made a decision and asked dryly, “Can you help me with a recommendation? I want to go to the black market to take a look.”

“That’s not a problem, there happens to be a Black Flag Chamber of Commerce stationed in the city of Rinyou, and my dad will definitely be happy to be your referral.”
“Okay, thanks, I’ll call you tomorrow night.”

Hanging up the phone, Hayashi Rikawa gently breathed a sigh of relief and stood still for a moment in contemplation before turning around and leaving.
If this trip to the black market went well, perhaps he would be able to have one more channel to obtain the Meteorite.

Returning home, Hayashi Rikawa casually turned on the monitor screen.
A dim screen popped up, and he could vaguely make out that he was in a narrow, cramped room with dim light.
In the center of the screen, Ro Gou, who was deliberately given a way out by Hayashi Rikawa, was lying motionless on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a dull expression.

He has bandages on many parts of his body, and his whole body looks exhausted, with deep-set eyes, a look of exhaustion.
All of his companions had died, and he had been left alone by the attackers. The uncertainty in his heart about this, as well as the fear of punishment from the organization if he failed in his mission, had made him suffer immensely, and he had emaciated a lot in just a few days.

Hayashi Rikawa watched for a while and then turned off the Monitoring screen.
The reason why he left Ro Gou alive was to catch a big fish with a long line.
According to the estimated time, that Mr. Fusawashii should arrive in Rinyou City in five or six days.

……

Ta!
The sound of fingertips lightly tapping on the desktop suddenly sounded.
The sound was not loud, but it made the heart of the deputy who stood in front of the desk trembled hard, and a dense, fine sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

“One suffered from a severe food allergy and died of asphyxiation and shock, and the other lost his footing and fell into the sea and drowned, two Level 13 Transcendents died so ridiculously?”
Boku Gou slowly raised his head, his gaze so cold that it seemed as if it would freeze one to death.
“The same thing has happened twice, and now you still can’t find out the reason and still tell me that it was an accident? Do you think I’m stupid enough to believe that?”

The deputy stammered and replied, “But, but sir, the people below have investigated many times, and have found no signs of other transcendents interfering, that Square 5 and Plum Blossom 6 did die in an accident ……”
Boku Gou coldly interrupted him, “Who is the person in charge of the investigation?”

“Yes, it’s Kaku BunShou.”
“Relieve him of all duties and throw him in the clown’s lab.”
“…… Yes!”

The words clown’s laboratory seemed to have some kind of terrifying magic, causing the deputy’s face to instantly pale a few points, and a look of extreme horror flashed across his face.
“Continue sending people to investigate.”

Boku Gou gazed at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice, “Listen, I don’t want to hear similar conclusions, four Silver ranked Transcendents died one after another in ridiculous accidents, there was no way that such a thing could be a coincidence, and there must be someone behind it who was pushing it, I don’t care what methods you use, you must uncover the murderer behind the scenes, and if you can’t do it, then you’ll go to the lab with the new person in charge of the investigation. Laboratory.”

The deputy’s body suddenly shivered fiercely, his palms were shaking a little, almost unable to hold the documents in his hands, he could only nod desperately:
“Yes, yes, sir, I promise to find out the murderer behind the scenes.”

Boku Gou was unmoved and said indifferently, “The search for Empty Fist should likewise not be left behind, immediately mobilize other manpower to take over the investigation mission in Rinyou City.”
Upon hearing this, the deputy swallowed his saliva and hurriedly turned over the document in his hand, looking at it carefully for a while before cautiously asking in a probing manner, “Sir, the 2 of Spades and the 3 of Diamonds happen to be in the vicinity of the city of Rinyou…..”
“Then let the two of them take over.” Boku Gou impatiently waved his hand.

The deputy hurriedly answered yes, secretly relieved in his heart, both 2 of Spades and 3 of Diamonds were Transcendents of Bio-Energy Level 15, one was a Body Refining Budokai, and the other was an Enhanced Human whose physical body has been transformed and strengthened, even if the train derailed, or the ship capsized, I think they would be able to live safely and unharmed, so they should not have to worry about accidents anymore, right?
No, I can’t. Just in case, I still can’t take the train or the ferry.

The deputy’s mind was racing, and he decided to let the 2 of Spades and the 3 of Diamonds take a bus to Rinyou City. It’s slow, but at least it’s safe, and with the strength of the two of them, they won’t be afraid even if the bus explodes on the spot.
This should be fine now, right?
