[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 521

"Each meeting today is scheduled out to allow a 30-60 minute window, so you can take your time with each client. Even though these were trial orders, most are still a large amount. I assume the leaders of each of the three settlements we visit will be present. For the morning shift, we can visit Sector 3 or 4. Which would you like to go to first?"

I reply, and the stealth armor I'm wearing changes my voice to a non-recognizable static tone. It's identical to the Dark Guards, and even the old Sector 2 craftsman himself.

"Let's go to Sector 4 first. I'd like to see how Chester is doing anyway."

Lith nods.

"Good choice, this should be quick. Although, Sector 4 is the only trade route we have on the list that doesn't have a direct teleportation platform to their residence. Chester is the leader of the Sector 4 black market. It isn't as well connected and established as the rest of Solara. I'm still working on getting a trade deal in motion for their main government, but they haven't sent back any formal response yet."

He puts four of the five crystals into a new item box, then tosses the one labeled Sector 4 over to me.

"I assume you'd like to do the honors."

I place a hand on both his and Ember's shoulders, then crush the crystal and the room flashes white with teleportation magic.

We're all transported to a public building in Solara.

The morning sun is still coming through the large glass windows, and the white floor is so glossy I can almost see my reflection in it.

There are about a dozen random businessmen and hunters near the sides of the room, but no one looks disturbed by our sudden arrival.

There are only two men in suits that walk up to us, recognizing Lith, and motion for us to follow.

Without exchanging any words, we follow them through the streets of Solara and down underground into the black market area that brings back many memories of the first time we were kidnapped by the Sector 4 leader.

There are multiple long, narrow circular hallways underground, and it looks almost identical to the time I visited here last. Many people trade E and D grade gear and items with each other, and we approach a section of the market that is sectioned off and guarded by multiple level 300-400 security guards.

Beyond this point, there are no black market vendors or random buyers. There are just empty hallways and more guards.

We're escorted through and approach a mana-shielded door, right in the place where the Old Sector 4 Leader's office was previously.

I vividly remember destroying it with Demonic Energy and acquiring the [Hush] skill from the woman that was guarding it.

However, as the door opens this time around, the smiling familiar face of the old man who gave us a place to stay after we rescued him from being kidnapped greets me.

Thanks to Arie, a while back, he's been power-leveled from below 100 to over level 400, and now wears a full set of high C-Grade and some B-Grade gear. He still has a basic grade appraisal skill.

I'm still in a suit of armor, so he doesn't recognize me, but I sure recognize him as he welcomes us inside his office.

The short man motions for his hired guards to leave us be, and the door shuts to leave us alone in the room.

Chester sits behind his desk and lets us take a seat on the chairs and couches in the room.

The walls are already starting to fill with unique gear and even some old items I recognize from his home back when I stayed in it while we were recovering and plotting to save Lydia months ago.
