After collapsing momentarily, Luo regained consciousness with a stubborn vitality and immediately started wailing upon waking. Five hundred thousand Fifth-Level Dark Pills, how many gold coins would that be? With their group of novice mercenaries, even if they stopped eating and drinking, they would have to keep accepting missions until death. Luo and others used collateral items in exchange for a Pearl-level task, which was to help Yunhu Commerce transport twelve Dark Beast Eggs to the Dragon War Empire. About a month ago, one of the three great mercenary groups on the continent, the Dragon Knight Mercenary Corps Group, discovered a huge Ancient Dark Beast Egg Cave in the remote Dragon Spine Mountain area, and nearly a hundred Dark Beast Eggs were excavated from inside. Dark Beast Eggs, depending on their type, were further divided into several categories, namely dead eggs, dormant eggs, and semi-dormant eggs. Semi-dormant eggs and dormant eggs could be revived with some time under the care of a Cultivator. As for dead eggs, their revival rate was almost zero, and they could only be treasured as collectibles. Apart from a few taken away by the mercenary groups, most of the remaining Dark Beast Eggs were bought by the Dragon War Empire, which is best at utilizing the power of Dark Beasts, represented by Yunhu Commerce. After obtaining the batch of Dragon Eggs, Yunhu Commerce commissioned the Mercenary Guild to find people to transport this batch of Dark Beast Eggs. Considering the conspicuous nature of the Dark Beast Eggs, Yunhu Commerce divided this batch into several parts, each entrusted to different mercenary groups and small teams for escort. Depending on the grade of the Dark Beast Eggs, the rank of their escort missions also varied. The batch of Dark Beast Eggs that Luo and others were transporting included the lower-graded dormant and dead eggs in the batch, though before transportation, both the guild and commerce were aware that there was an Earth Dragon Egg among this batch. The Holy Dragon Clan on the main route has been disappeared for many years, among the mixed-breed dragons left on the main road, the Earth Dragon is the largest bloodline, yet even so, there are only a few hundred Earth Dragons left, and most of them live in the Dragon War Empire. The Dragon Eggs of the Dragon Clan naturally possess strong Dark Power, which easily attracts the covetousness of other Dark Beasts, and even potential theft mid-route. However, since it was identified as a dead egg after appraisal, it was not given special attention. Thus, this transport mission that included twelve Dark Eggs was only priced at ten thousand Fourth-level Dark Pills. Little did they know, when Luo and others were transporting the Dark Beast Eggs and passed through Shang Kingdom, one night upon waking, they discovered the Dark Beast Eggs were gone. "All gone, all twelve Dark Beast Eggs, every single one with broken shells, there were man-made damages, and some hatched on their own, including that dead Dragon Egg," Luo howled in despair. Once a dead egg hatches, its value completely changes. "We searched along the way for a long time, but didn’t find any suspicious large Dark Beasts, so we had to hurry to Dragon War Empire, but upon reaching Shang Kingdom, we were detained by the local government, claiming that Yunhu Commerce had reported us." "Luo, you can write a letter to your family, asking them to redeem you back home." Clearly, Luo and others took on a mercenary mission far beyond their expectations. When mentioning his family, Luo’s cheeks trembled, and he kept silent; after a while, he wiped the corner of his eyes, "Three months ago, my mother died, and before she passed away, she left me a Spiritual Treasure, which I pledged to the Mercenary Guild for this mission. My father looks down upon mercenaries and disagrees with me being one. My stepmother also wouldn’t allow him to spend such a large sum of money to redeem me." "..." Inside the Heavenly Prison, there was silence. "My father always said I was worthless, not even worth a single Dragon Battle Coin, haha, he was wrong, I’m still worth a few hundred thousand Fifth-level Dark Pills," the fat man said lightly, picking up the steamed bun that the prison guard brought and stuffed it into his mouth, "Besides, Heavenly Prison is pretty good, spacious and warm. Hey, big sister, don’t just talk about me, what did you do to end up here? Even the Monarch of Shang Kingdom came to interrogate you." "Me? I haven’t committed a crime yet. By tomorrow, however, who knows how big a crime it will be," Yue Jinghua smiled cheerfully, harboring a certain fondness for this plump man who could take things easy. Yue Jinghua’s words were quickly confirmed. In just half a day, a storm powerful enough to shake the foundations of the entire Shang Kingdom. Fa Xiao Yunli, after opening the Heavenly Prison, first sent the Elixir Pills made from Dragon Saliva Cave Formation to Sha Fei. Immediately, he summoned General Tianwei Qin Gang, told him all about the things Yue Jinghua had informed him, and requested that Qin Gang immediately lead troops to eradicate the nightclub. "Such a malignant tumor, not removing it would not pacify the public hearts," Qin Gang said deeply after listening, but immediately he found it difficult to say: "Although this matter involves many powerful interests, not only is Prince Fa involved with the nightclub, but also with Lie Family Mansion, with just my power alone, it is not enough to calm the three parties. In my opinion, we should break them up separately, for now, rather than startling Prince Fa immediately, it might be better to..."
