"Alright." Isaac immediately took out a pale silver metal plate from his clothes, "I want to hire you to kill someone. His name is Lin Qi, the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall of the Human Race."
"Wait a moment, let me check." The mechanical voice of Red Moon replied swiftly after a moment, "Lin Qi, Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, a special potential genius of the Martial Artist Association, suspected to have reached the Middle Stage of Bone Forging Realm."
"What's the price for killing him?" Isaac asked.
Red Moon Commerce has locations in multiple regions and even maintains bases in every city. As long as payment is provided, they will engage in any transaction, having captured much business from various cities, despite these cities' tendency to turn a blind eye.
The most popular business of Red Moon Commerce is undoubtedly assassination.
Whether it's killing vagabonds in the wild or experts in the Bone Forging Realm, Red Moon Commerce never refuses if paid. However, the prices they demand are high, which ordinary forces find unaffordable, typically opting for cheaper wanderers instead.
But this time, they needed to kill Lin Qi, a Middle Stage Bone Forging expert, which wild wanderers could never achieve. Only Red Moon Commerce had the capability, without the worry of being investigated afterward.
"3,500 Energy Crystal Stones," Red Moon's icy mechanical tone responded.
"Why is it so expensive?" Isaac furrowed his brow, well aware of Red Moon Commerce's pricing.
The Initial Stage of Bone Forging Realm is priced from 300 to 500 Energy Crystal Stones, while the Middle Stage ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 Energy Crystal Stones. Only the High Stage reaches from 4,000 to 10,000 Energy Crystal Stones, and top-tier experts fetch astronomical prices, starting at 20,000.
Currently, Lin Qi is merely suspected to be at the Middle Stage, yet the cost is approaching that of the High Stage.
"According to our information, Lin Qi's ability very likely approaches that of the High Stage in Bone Forging Realm. A strength nearing top-tier Bone Forging Realm is required to complete this task, making this quote quite fair," Red Moon explained. "Additionally, Lin Qi is progressing rapidly and is a rare Grade A genius. This price is current, but it may increase in a few days."
"He can actually be deemed a Grade A genius by you?" Isaac was stunned upon hearing this.
The Martial Artist Association's evaluation of genius martial artists is quite simple, but for truly great forces like Domain City, Grade B potential is only the baseline.
Being rated as a genius martial artist by the Martial Artist Association is noteworthy, providing easy entry into urban Genius Training Camps. However, even geniuses differ.
Every recruitment by Domain City requires geniuses among geniuses, paying no heed to ordinary ones.
Domain City classifies geniuses into four grades, Grade D being the worst, and Grade S the best. Martial artists recognized as Grade B are usually eligible to apply to Domain City, whereas Grade A geniuses are outstanding, with over a seventy percent chance of reaching that level in the future and becoming a City Lord.
"Are you sure you want to proceed with this transaction?" The mechanical inquiry of Red Moon chimed in.
"Absolutely!" Isaac didn't hesitate at all, directly handing over the pale silver metal plate to Red Moon Commerce.
A future City Lord—dealing with this early on, otherwise he would likely lose sleep and appetite.
"Transaction complete. We will act within three days. The remaining 1,500 Energy Crystal Stones will be safely delivered to your specified location a day later."
Once Red Moon's cold mechanical voice finished, the large door of the booth slowly opened, indicating that Isaac could leave.
Isaac wasn't skeptical and directly left the bar.
He has traded with Red Moon Commerce more than once, and the impeccable reputation and discretion of Red Moon Commerce encourage various prominent forces in the city to engage in dealings.
"Three days—I still have three days to prepare. Yet, those disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are not easily handled. Seems like I need to hire a Bone Forging expert."
Isaac checked the time; he must find a Bone Forging expert outside within three days to assist; otherwise, relying on the remaining White Feather Gang members won't reclaim the stronghold.
After Isaac left Red Moon Commerce, they also issued internal bounties in various cities.
Ten Thousand Stars City, Wanxing Building.
A Sub-demon Race youth with four arms and skin resembling steel continually demonstrated sword techniques to a group of Sub-demon Race youth below, charming the youthful martial artists who watched with admiration in their eyes.
This Sub-demon Race youth was none other than a legend among his kind, the one genius from Ten Thousand Stars City admitted to Domain City in the assessment three years ago.
Four-armed Blade Demon Fred!
Returning to Ten Thousand Stars City to visit family, he graciously instructed martial artists aspiring to enter the Genius Training Camp—an offer unimaginable for those of other races.
Yet, as Fred finished teaching, the notification sound from his smart watch rang out.
"Two thousand Energy Crystal Stones for a suspected Middle Stage Bone Forging Realm, Grade A genius. This really is a big job," Fred laughed as he saw it, "What a pity for this Grade A genius. If able to enter Domain City, he'd surely shine."
"Is it an offering from Red Moon Commerce?" questioned a woman standing beside him—a lady with golden hair, silver-gray long horns on her forehead, a devilish physique, and beauty surpassing even Ye Qinglu's—raising a bit of a frown.
"Don't worry, merely a Middle Stage Bone Forging expert. I'll be right back, won't miss the teacher's matters," Fred smiled, heading toward the helipad outside the window.
