Chapter 1243: Underground City Passes

He was the owner of this grand estate, a man of considerable wealth, yet at this moment, he did not dare to move a muscle.

Sweat poured down his face as he stared in terror at Amalia and Kenny Lin, who sat calmly before him.

"You have two choices—either get us passes to the Underground City, or I kill you. Which one will it be?"

"This is your plan?" Amalia gave Kenny Lin a speechless look.

"You can’t deny it’s the fastest way," Kenny Lin shrugged.

Amalia sighed inwardly—she should have known better than to expect him to come up with a normal plan.

"Two immortals... you’re just here for Underground City passes?" The middle-aged man could hardly believe it.

They had gone through all this trouble to break into his villa... just for two passes?

With their strength, securing two passes should be a trivial matter—there were surely plenty of people who would be eager to get them on their behalf.

He had been terrified, thinking some enemy had sent assassins to take his life.

"Would you prefer I ask for something else? Like your life?" Kenny Lin shot him a sinister look.

The middle-aged man quickly shook his head. "No, no! Just two passes? That’s easy! I’ll get them right away."

Only then did he remember that most of his subordinates had been knocked out.

With no one immediately available, he quickly used his quantum communicator to summon others and ordering them to arrive within five minutes.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the sound of screeching brakes came from outside.

"Boss, here are the Underground City passes you requested."

A group of black-clad bodyguards entered the room, and their leader handed two passes to the middle-aged man.

"You got that done pretty fast," Kenny Lin said, a little surprised. "Only five minutes?"

"You flatter me too much, Mr. immortal," the middle-aged man called Bhoj Shankar—chuckled, gradually regaining his composure. "I may not be a big deal, but in the Crimson Moon Dynasty, I do hold some influence. Two Underground City’s passes are nothing."

"Influence?" Kenny Lin’s interest was piqued.

They had just chosen this villa at random.

"Controlling one-fifth of the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s economy—does that count?" Bhoj smiled.

"That counts," Kenny Lin laughed.

One-fifth of the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s economy was nearly equivalent to that of an entire smaller empire like the Draconis Empire.

"Are the two immortal heading to the Underground City for business?" Bhoj dared to ask.

"We’re looking for someone," Amalia replied.

Bhoj hesitated for a moment. "What is the immortal looking for? Perhaps I can lend a hand. My influence carries weight in the Underground City."

"Aren’t you afraid we might have ill intentions?" Amalia asked.

"If the two immortal had ill intentions, you wouldn’t have just asked for two Underground City passes."

Someone who controlled one-fifth of the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s economy had seen all kinds of things.

Once he confirmed that the two of them had no intent to kill him, his mind started working in other directions.

With powerhouses like these right in front of him, it would go against his principles not to try and build a connection.

"If you can really help me find this person, I’m not someone who skimps on rewards," Amalia promised.

"Please, Ms. Immortal, tell me who it is," Bhoj said, unable to hide his excitement.

Amalia pulled up a photo of a servant and sent it to him. "This person came to the Pleiades Star System from the Erythar System over thirty years ago. Aside from his name and this photo, I know nothing else. But he should be a cultivator. Of course, after so many years, he might already be dead. Regardless, whether he’s alive or dead, I need to know."

"Only a photo and a name? That does make things difficult... but not impossible. The Crimson Moon Dynasty keeps strict records of cultivators. Any cultivator who wants to live here openly must be registered in the database."

Even with no other information, as long as they had a face, finding the person should be possible—unless he was living completely off the grid.

For an ordinary person, dealing with unregistered people could be troublesome, but Bhoj had no such worries.

The economy he controlled wasn’t just limited to legal business—his real power lay in underground dealings.

"If you’re this capable, why are your bodyguards so weak?" Kenny Lin asked.

Bhoj gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Immortal, they aren’t weak. It’s just that you are too strong."

Rich people valued their lives, and as an incredibly wealthy man, he spared no expense in protecting himself.

He had specifically hired three cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage as his personal guards, each costing him ten billion a year.

He had wanted to hire a Golden Core stage cultivator, but they were difficult to come by.

Besides, those cultivators had money of their own and wouldn’t lower themselves to bodyguard work for mere tens of billions.

"We should get going," Amalia said as she stood up.

She was eager to check out the Underground City.

"Ms. Immortal, if I find the person you’re looking for, how should I contact you?" Bhoj quickly asked.

Amalia gave him her terminal number.

After arriving in the Pleiades Star System, they had switched to Crimson Moon Dynasty communication devices.

"Make sure you find him as soon as possible," she reminded him before leaving.

"I will," Bhoj assured her.

He personally escorted them to the door while maintaining his smile until they were out of sight.

Only then did his expression shift.

"Boss, should I send someone..." One of his bodyguards made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Send someone? Even Suman and the others weren’t a match for them. Do you think finding someone else will make a difference?" Bhoj frowned slightly. "Those two are not ordinary people."

"We could contact that faction. As long as we offer enough money, they’ll take action."

Bhoj pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "No. Those two don’t necessarily have to become our enemies."
