Chapter 564
It was around that time that he saw the "pirated Jiang Yi"!
The pirate Jiang Yi is so arrogant that he dares to offend even a black market tycoon like Que Yun!
At the time, Niu Bawu was just a complete stranger, and his impression of Jiang Yi was—
Domineering, arrogant, and even unreasonable!
Yet this is the kind of person...
Now they're actually putting on a friendly and kind act in front of him, and even treating his injuries?!
Niu Bawu found it unbelievable, so he became wary and suspected that "Jiang Yi" had ill intentions.
Jiang Yi then remembered that Niu Bawu might have seen a pirated version of Jiang Yi.
He smiled and, without beating around the bush, asked directly:
"Do you recognize that elegantly dressed young man and that burly guy who just passed by?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Bawu became even more alert.
After a moment's thought, he hesitated and asked, "You want to find out about them?"
Jiang Yi nodded.
Niu Bawu asked nervously, "Could you tell me why we're asking about them?"
Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then said frankly, "We have a bit of a grudge. I'd like to know more about their situation—"
"If they have a particularly powerful background that you can't afford to offend, then forget about it."
"If you can afford to offend them, then go and have a fight."
"..."
Niu Bawu's lips twitched slightly as he listened, and he quickly began to make plans in his mind.
If Jiang Yi really can afford to offend those two, then beating them up would be the best course of action.
But if he can't afford to offend those two...
If he reveals this information here, he might get implicated and held accountable.
Niu Bawu is a seasoned veteran in the black market.
Despite being beaten and bullied, he lacked the courage to seek revenge.
Most of the time, we try to be patient and avoid trouble.
So at this moment, he subconsciously thought that it was better to avoid trouble.
However, just as he was about to refuse Jiang Yi...
Jiang Yi smiled at him: "I really don't know if I can afford to offend those two."
"But my friend—you—I think I can still afford to offend you."
Upon hearing this, Niu Bawu's face tightened instantly, and he stammered, "I, I..."
Jiang Yi continued to give him a kind smile.
Niu Bawu felt uneasy and had no choice but to reveal, "I... I don't know much either—"
“That richly dressed young man was not an ordinary customer, but the young owner of many shops on this street.”
"I'm not really sure about their specific race or background."
"But those who can open shops on the black market are definitely beings that ordinary races cannot afford to offend."
"And, moreover, the shops that guy runs aren't very clean."
"While the black market is far less lawful than the City of Ten Thousand Races, it still has some security personnel specifically responsible for maintaining order."
"Under such circumstances, how could this shady shop still operate for so long..."
"That young man's identity must be even more powerful than that of an ordinary shopkeeper."
Jiang Yi seemed to be deep in thought.
Niu Bawu continued, "And the one with the broad shoulders and thick waist is Zang Biao. Strictly speaking, he and I are in the same line of work. We both make a living by doing things like scalping, in the gray area."
"But he's doing much better than me. He's made a lot of connections with bosses throughout the 18th District."
"Every now and then, I can get freelance work from the big boss, like helping out or doing some shady stuff."
Jiang Yi nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Shameless acts...including murder and arson?"
He spoke these words without any hesitation, while Niu Bawu looked nervous and quickly said, "You can't say things like that."
"As for the specifics of what kind of shady dealings they are, since they're all something that can't be brought to light, of course I, a nobody, wouldn't know!"
Seeing his sensitive reaction, Jiang Yi had a vague feeling—
Niu Ba Wu may have secretly stumbled upon some shady dealings.
Or perhaps, he has witnessed cases where someone stumbled upon a shady scheme and was subsequently silenced.
That's why he's so sensitive.
Seeing that Niu Bawu was nervous, Jiang Yi stopped pressing the matter and instead asked a different question:
