?Chapter 700:


    Hearing this, Vincent put on the bulletproof vest and asked, “Anything else we need to prepare?”


    “This should suffice. Now, we can only hope that our luck endures and we locate the medicine Hades requires.” Katelyn sighed quietly.


    If she couldn’t locate the herb, she’d have to turn to alternative medications. However, those alternativescked potency and would postpone Carol’s much-needed surgery. Until every option was exhausted, Katelyn refused to give up.<fn3274> ?????? ???? find·novel</fn3274>


    Vincent helped pack the boxes of weapons, probing, “So it’s for Hades. I never heard you mention this before.”


    “Hades prefers to maintain a low profile and doesn’t want me discussing it,” Katelyn exined, then meticulously inspected the weapons she was taking. These were all items she had acquired after returning from Yata.


    “Let’s go.”


    “Alright.”


    The ck market wasn’t located in Granville; it was situated at the border between two countries. To be precise, it was a region devastated by warfare and ruled by drug lords—awless expanse where the authorities had no power.


    They set out in the afternoon and didn’t arrive until after dark. There were no delineated boundaries here; if an individual possessed an item to sell, they could merely spread a tattered cloth upon the ground andmence selling.


    However, as soon as they exited the vehicle, a gunshot abruptly echoed through the air!


    Katelyn and Vincent quickly took cover behind their car, their expressions growing grim. They meticulously surveyed the area around them. Someone was apparently trying to forcefully take resources from the ck market. That was the very reason Katelyn hade so well-armed.


    In the ck market, rules were non-existent, andwlessness prevailed, making it a hub for dangerous and unauthorized trades. Even after paying a premium for goods, the risk of violent theft was constant. The ck market had even developed this dark chain of transactions: the moment someone acquired something of value, armed individuals woulde to snatch it away.

    Tension filled Katelyn’s body. Silence followed a few gunshots. With caution, she looked out, eager to understand themotion outside.


    Outside, she noticed security personnel removing bodies from the underworld market. These individuals had been hit by bullets in thetest violent exchange.


    Vincent’s expression turned icy as he gave a sharpmand, “Always be ready with your handgun, but mind you don’t fire it by mistake.”


    Gripping her weapon tightly in her pocket, Katelyn nodded gravely. They watched the scene for some time. Once confident of their safety, they ventured into the market.


    Despite the recent deaths, street sellers were still hawking their goods. To them, such fatalities were all toomon.
