Chapter 1279

Madame Delicia's stepped forward as soon as she finished speaking. The black- suited pilot immediately took out a piece of down carpet and placed it under Madame Delicia's feet. When she stepped on the new piece of carpet, the driver hurriedly took another and placed it before her next step.

Madame Delicia continued walking. The sole of her shoes had not touched the ground at all.

Alvin stood by the side. Seeing this, he couldn't help but give her a sidelong glance. "I say, isn't Madame Delicia going a bit too far?"

Sloane shrugged, "This is how the Norman family is. You haven't seen the pure gold carriage of Red Hair. It's said that they lose hundreds of thousands with every meter it takes."

"Tsktsk." Alvin smacked his lips. "How luxurious."

"Soon, you will slowly feel that hundreds of thousands of Yuan are nothing, because in your eyes, money will not even matter to you." Sloane held Alvin's arm. "Let's go, my Lord. After tomorrow's meeting, people will forget about Radiant Island. They will remember only the Dark Island created by you, and you will have absolute

control over it."

When he heard these words, greed brimmed in his eyes. It was a greed for power.

Outside Steel City, Li led Henry to a public service centre. These public organisations were originally to provide for those explorers who wanted to enter the Sosasmo back then. However, after Steel City had been built, these public organisations were bought over at an extremely high price by various forces. By then, most of these public associations around the Sosasmo desert were supported by a certain underground force.

The public service centre that Li brought Henry to was not very large. It had only one living room and one bedroom.

The owner of the centre was a middle- aged western man in his thirties. He was very ordinarylooking. He was leaning on a crutch when Henry saw him, and his right leg was empty from his knees downwards.

Li told Henry that the name of the owner was Apolinary, but everyone liked to address him as Luo.

Luo welcomed Henry and Li, and prepared some bread and rum forthem.

Henry did not take another look at Luo's missing leg. In the underground world, many people left from it because they could not recover from their injuries.

Although the underground world was dangerous, all sorts of excitement existed within it. Many people wanted to live a peaceful and harmonious life. However, after this period of peace, how many of those who used to be tigers would rather live as a cat?

"Li told me that you want to enter Radiant Island?" Luo lit the fireplace in the room and poured a cup of rum for himself. The difference of temperature between day and night there was very high.

Henry nodded and said, "I heard that things aren't going very well now. What happened?"

A surprised expression displayed across Luo's face, then looked at Li and said, "Have you just returned from a mission?"

"Yes." Li nodded. "I haven't been in contact with the outside world for a long time."

"No wonder." Luo said expectantly. "The whole of the underground world will be holding a meeting tomorrow. It's a little different this time. Even that group of people will be participating."

When he mentioned about that group of people, Luo looked a little uneasy.

Henry could not understand what they were talking about.

Li was puzzled. "Didn't those people agree that they wouldn't meddle in the matters of the underworld? The underground world and them have already gone their separate ways. Why did they appear in the underground world?"

"I'm not sure." Luo shook his head. "According to what I've heard, it's related to the former king of Radiant Island. This time, many big shots who have been hiding in the dark have also showed up. Your people should also be participating in it, but maybe you haven't received any news about it yet."

"So, is it easier for us to enter now?" Li asked.

Sayre nodded and then shook his head. "You could say that it's easier, but it's not exactly so too. It would depend on how you plan to get in. It's not difficult to enter with your organisation, but if you want to enter secretly, then that'll be tougher. Radiant Island is now completely locked down. Don't you see?"

Luo pointed out of the window. The silhouette of Steel City could be seen in the distance.

Sayre took another sip of rum, grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Back then it used to still be brightly lit at a time like this, but now, it's all dark. What does this signify? It signifies that someone wants to set up a new rule! This person wants everyone to know of his existence. Now everyone who enters the city has to provide them with a complete set of personal information. They want to set up the rules now, just exactly like the rules of their system."

"Can that be done?" Li asked in puzzlement. "The underground world is full of groups that consist of wild and untameable people. If they are able to accept those rules of the system, who would still be willing to risk their lives for them?"

"When a knife is placed across your neck, you'd have to agree even if you don't." Luo looked out of the window, then returned his gaze to them and said in a low voice, "Do you know that at of now, in Steel City, half of the forces no longer say that they are followers of Radiant Island, instead they say that they are..."

"They are what?" Li asked impatiently.

Luo looked around and made sure that no other ears were listening before he said, "They said that they are followers of Dark Island!"

"Dark Island!" Li was shocked. She subconsciously looked at Henry, who was right next to her, because Henry had asked her about the Dark Island on the plane, but Henry, like her, had been cut out from the world outside for a long time. Which could only mean that he had already known off Dark Island!

Sometimes, the degree of information about a certain piece of news could also indirectly reflect a person's identity.

Luo nodded and said, "I heard that this Dark Island is related to the City of Hell. Rumour has it that the new king wants to overthrow the old powers and set up his own organisation. Behind the new king, that group of people are supporting him."

Li opened her mouth to say something, then shook his head. "They are fighting on a completely different level. Ordinary people like us have nothing to do with that. No matter who the King of Hell is, it can't affect us."

"No, you're wrong." Luo looked at Li with a serious expression. "On the contrary, this meeting is closely related to us. When the new king sits on the throne, everything about the old king shall cease to exist, and everyone will have to make a new choice. When the new king takes the throne, will we get mixed with those forces? That's still unclear. After all, the new king has joined forces with those people. When the day comes for all forces to merge in the future, that would be some very hard times. For example, the Nine Fatale you belong to, is still an organisation with quite a reputation in the underground world today, but once those people get involved with it, the Nine Fatale would not even make it in the ranks of the big three of the capital of Yan Xia."

Li gulped and asked, "What has become of the old king?"

"I heard that he's on the run."
