br>Could Traveling Buddha already know that it was no coincidence that his surname was Xia and that he was of the Speed-type, that it was all because he was a descendant of Blue Moon’s public enemy, the Skywing Clan?

Traveling Buddha smiled creepily, and then he patted Xia Fan on the shoulder.
“Your surname is Xia, and the Skywings also have the surname Xia.
You are a Speed-type, and the Skywings were also of the Speed type.
This is too much of a coincidence.”

“Thus, you hope to get Skywing equipment, because you’re about to reach Star Domain rank, a Heavenly Sovereign.
When you become a Heaven Sovereign, you’ll basically become invincible, and the Skywings have the best equipment when it comes to speed.
If you can find some of the equipment left behind by the Skywings, it will be a huge help to your future development!”

Traveling Buddha looked at Xia Fan very seriously, smugly saying, “So? Am I right? You came here to get a hold of some Skywing equipment.”

Phew!, Xia Fan almost laughed.
What sort of nonsensical theory was that?

Getting hold of some Skywing equipment? The Skywings were his family.
Why would he need to get hold of their equipment?

Xia Fan chuckled, and then said to Traveling Buddha very seriously, “Mm, sure enough, I couldn’t hide it from you.
Impressive as always.”

“Haha, I knew it!” Traveling Buddha was delighted.
Folding his arms, he righteously said, “We’re brothers forever! Relax.
I’ll definitely help you out!”

“Thank you.” Xia Fan gave him a sunny smile.

After a while, Tony returned.
“The talks are done.
Five gold coins.”

Xia Fan was startled.
The price was much lower than he had expected.
After all, that shopkeeper had seemingly been looking to take him for all that he was worth.

“How did you do it?” Xia Fan curiously asked.

Tony smiled.
“You don’t need to to worry about that.
You spend the money to hire me, so I have to prove my value, right? Moreover, five gold coins means he makes quite a tidy profit.”

“Then did he say how he got the item?” Xia Fan asked.

Tony sighed.
“That? It was a scrap collector who sold it to him, but he doesn’t know where the scrap collector got it.
I don’t think he was lying.”

Xia Fan nodded in disappointment.
He had gotten a remnant of a Skywing combat suit, but he didn’t know where it had come from, so it wouldn’t help him find more clues.

Even if he used his Scent special ability, he wouldn’t come up with anything.
After all, the Skywings had invaded Ashen Moon forty thousand years ago!

——

Xia Fan paid the money and headed back to the Garden Hotel with Tony.

When he was paying, Xia Fan had lightly stroked his spatial ring, producing the five golden coins as if by magic.

Upon seeing that, the shopkeeper’s eyes had glowed, and he had seemed very shocked.

After Tony handed the money over, he took the shopkeeper to the side and whispered to him.
The shopkeeper nodded multiple times after he was done.

When Tony came back, Xia Fan asked him what had happened.

Tony shrugged.
“It’s nothing.
The market is a very complicated place.
Although I’m keeping you company, it’s best to be careful.”

Thus, when the party returned to the hotel, Xia Fan decided to refuse Tony’s offer to take them out to play, agreeing to meet up again tomorrow morning.
Traveling Buddha wanted to go, but he didn’t want to go alone, so when he heard Xia Fan refuse Tony, he became rather bored.

—–

The next morning, Xia Fan met up with Tony and Joe just after the market had opened.

As before, they walked over to the Beacon Grand Market, which was only a little way down the street.

The clever Big Eyes came out of nowhere and called out to Xia Fan, “Boss! Boss!”

Compared to yesterday, he had a much better complexion, and a little color on his tanned face.
He had presumably eaten his fill.

Although his clothes were still the shabby clothes from before, they had been washed.
He had also washed himself, the acrid odor from before having utterly disappeared, and he was brimming with energy.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“Boss! What are your orders today!? I’m willing to do anything for you!”

Xia Fan smiled and looked around, spotting a rather unique little restaurant.
It had a huge window that ran from floor to ceiling, allowing one to see everything that was going on in the street from the inside.

Xia Fan pointed at the restaurant and said to Big Eyes, “Your mission today is to continue searching the market for things with this design.
The more you find, the higher your reward.

“But you can’t make a big stir about it, letting the entire market know that I’m looking for this thing, and you can’t bring many people with you, only the people that you deeply trust.

“Before dusk, we will meet up here.”

Big Eyes forcefully nodded.
“I understand.
I’ll take my two little brothers and quietly look for the thing you want.
We’re all brothers, so they can be trusted!”

Xia Fan spotted two restless youths waiting nearby.
They were just as thin as Big Eyes and they also had very large eyes, but they were a little younger, not even ten years old, and their clothes were shabbier.

“Stick out your hand,” Xia Fan said.

Perhaps because he felt like he wasn’t clean, Big Eyes rubbed his hand on his pants first before sticking it out.

Xia Fan shook his head, silently passing him a gold coin and a few small silver pieces.
The silver pieces were change from when he had paid for some coffee yesterday.
Xia Fan was smarter now and knew that this was a place where one could not show off their wealth.

Big Eyes felt the weight in his hands, and his arm trembled in excitement.

Xia Fan said, “Get to work, but remember to eat.”

Big Eyes almost got on his knees, bowing deeply to Xia Fan again and again.
He then led his little brothers into the market.
The security guards tried to stop them, but they shot through the gaps in the railing like little monkeys.

Tony watched as Big Eyes left and said with a frown, “If you’re having Big Eyes go searching, what are we doing today?”

Xia Fan smiled.
“Didn’t you say that there are some big bosses in the market that operate shadier businesses which normal people can’t access?”

Tony nodded.
“Yes, those places sell high-class goods, and no one can go in unless they’re guided inside.”

Xia Fan replied, “That’s where we’re going today!”
