NovelAppChapter 120 The underground chamber was not big-it was only around fifty square meters. To its sides
were stone walls, and to its front and back were only iron doors.
The one from which they had just entered was already locked.
The iron door to the front was closed, and a black curtain prevented them from seeing what was going
on behind the door.
Upon seeing the locked door, Scarlett frowned slightly and looked at James. “James, this is.?”
James waved her off lightly. “It’s alright. We’ll wait.”
He had been through great ordeals. Why would he be worried about a mere local turf honcho?
Though James was calm, Scarlett was anxious.
Although she has interacted with the triad world, she was still a grave robber and had no experience
dealing with these people,
“James, Henry, everything will be fine, right?” Her face was beaded with sweat. Along the way here,
she had noticed how heavily fortified this place was. She counted at least a hundred mercenaries

Henry tried comforting her. “It’s alright. If anything happens, I can force our way out of here without
James help.”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett was reassured.
They waited in the chamber for approximately ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, a hoarse voice came from behind the curtain, “You must be Henry? Recommended
by Brooks?”
Upon hearing the voice, Henry immediately replied, “That’s right. Brooks recommended me to you.”
“Speak. What intelligence do you wish to purchase?” Henry glanced at James.
James snorted. “Is this how you conduct business? At least prepare some chairs and invite us to sit.
Besides, shouldn’t you show your face?”
Having been brought into the chamber with not even a single stool in sight, James was already feeling
irritated. Yet now, Jake Graham was refusing to even reveal himself. Instead, he was conversing with
James from behind the black curtain.
The hoarse voice came from behind the black curtain, “At my place, everyone stands, no matter who
they are. As for showing my face, I find it unnecessary. Speak. What information do you need?”
James spoke, “I’d like to know which underworld forces were involved in the destruction of the Cadens
in addition to The Great Four. I need a list of everyone who participated. Also, I’d like to know the
mastermind behind the incident.”
Silence engulfed the chamber.
After a while, a voice spoke, “That is top-secret information that has been buried for many years. No
one has come to buy it. If you wish to purchase it, it will cost a fixed price of ten billion.”
James replied, “Sure, but I will have the information first.”
From behind the curtain, the voice scoffed, “At my place, no one gets information before they pay. Pay
up, and then you’ll get your information. I, Jake Grahams, am a man of my word. I would never sell
information I don’t have.”
Upon hearing this, James’ face darkened. Behind him, Scarlett felt an icy chill.
Only Henry knew that James was enraged. There would be bloodshed tonight.
James made his way to the front. “Don’t act rashly.. A rebuking voice came. Following that, dozens of
fully-armed mercenaries emerged from the back, their weapons in hand. Countless red dots were

James frowned.
His silver needle had been confiscated. It would be impossible for him to instantly subdue the fully-
armed mercenaries,
He turned and looked Henry in the eye. “Is there money in the card?” Henry nodded. “There is, though
there’s not much left. But we should still have ten billion.” James nodded. “Alright then. It’s a deal.”
Almost immediately, he looked at the black curtain in front of him and said, “Alright, it’s a deal. But if I
find anything amiss with your information, don’t blame me for what’ll happen
next.”
“Haha, don’t worry. I’m a man of my word. I would never lie to my customers.”
James asked, “How should we proceed with the deal?!
“By direct transfer.”
James nodded. “Got it.”
At that moment, the dozens of fully-armed mercenaries stepped forward and pressed their weapons
against the trio’s heads.
Following that, the black curtain was lifted. A man, clothed in black and wearing a hood, walked toward
them and unlocked the iron door. James’ gaze followed, and he discovered that a luxurious house
stood behind the iron door.
