The Terminal Station of the Uncertain Item
"Oh my god…I finally saw someone.”
After walking for another half an hour, Lawton finally heard a human voice. A smile appeared on his face. Hard work paid off. He finally saw traces of a living person. He hurriedly quickened his pace.
"Wait…what is this place? Why am I here?"
Lawton looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. There were countless huge mountains of garbage that stretched from the foot of the mountain to the edge that could not be seen with the naked eye. There were also countless people in ragged clothes climbing up and down the garbage mountain, searching for anything that could be used.
Lawton was no stranger to this place. The garbage mountain, also known as the Terminal of Uncertain Items, was built by the Goa Kingdom in order to maintain the cleanliness of the city. All the garbage produced in the city was transported outside the city and piled up. There was also a huge high wall separating the two. Outside was the Terminal of Uncertain Items, and inside was the bustling city center.
Later, some people who could not live in the city left the city and came here to live. They relied on picking up garbage for a living. Over time, they formed a special profession-scavengers.
Of course, there was no order in such a chaotic place. Hence, gangs, thieves, hoodlums, swindlers, robbers, and all kinds of people began to gather here. The strong exploited the weak, and the weak exploited the weaker... This was passed down layer by layer. The weakest naturally could not even make a living, but they had no other way out. They could only be exploited and oppressed day after day. Finally, they died in some unknown corner and became food for wild dogs.
Of course, since there were so many gangsters gathered here, it naturally proved that the benefits here were not small. After all, this place contained the garbage of the entire city. It was difficult to guarantee that there was no treasure lost by a noble in this garbage. This was also why it was called the Terminal of Uncertain Things. Although it was garbage, there were also treasures in it. Therefore, it was called the Terminal of Uncertain Things, not directly called the garbage mountain.
It could be a rotten vegetable leaf thrown away by the market, or a gemstone ring thrown away by a prince... Once you found the latter, you would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, but it would not be a problem for you to leave this place. The premise was that you could keep the treasure you picked up and not let it be snatched away.
The fact that Ace and Sabot could save so much money in just five years was enough to prove how huge the benefits here were.
However, to Lawton, it did not matter how many treasures there were. What he was more concerned about was…
"Why am I here?”
His goal had always been the center of Mount Gorbo, where Darden's family lived, and also where Ace currently lived. However, he had now arrived on the other side of the mountain. There was only one possibility for this situation, and that was that he was…lost.
"Forget it, it's good to be here. Ace and the others are here anyway.”
Lowton pretended to be relaxed as he got rid of the thought that he might have a bad sense of direction.
"Hey! Kid, you're new here, right?"
As soon as they approached the edge of the garbage mountain, Lawton didn't do anything when two hooligan-like guys came up to him."This is the territory of our Rhinoceros Gang. According to the rules of the Rhinoceros Gang, all newcomers have to pay a fee to stay here…Kid, open your bag. As long as you cooperate obediently, we won't make things difficult for you.”
"Oh? Why haven't I heard of such a rule?”
Of course, Lawton would not be so obedient. He was just about to cause trouble.
"Hmm? Brat, you're very arrogant."
Lawton's words undoubtedly angered the two of them. One of the hooligans pulled out a dagger with a swoosh and approached them with a cold smile." Kid, let me tell you, you've angered us. It's no longer a matter of whether you pay the accommodation fee or not. Today, I'm going to let you bleed…"
"Tsk!"
With a flash of white light, Lawton sheathed his saber."I've seen many blind people, but this is the first time I've seen someone as blind as you.”
"You…"
The thug with the dagger was about to say something, but he quickly realized that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that his right hand, which was holding the knife, had fallen to the ground.
"Ah…Ah…"
Holding his bleeding wrist, the gangster with the knife screamed in fear.
" You... you..." Another hooligan looked at Lawton in fear,""Bastard, do you know who we are? You actually dared to provoke us. You're finished. You're really finished. Our boss will definitely not let you off.”
"It's not certain who will let who off."
Lawton chuckled and lifted him up. He asked coldly,"If you choose me, I will give you a chance to live. Tell me, where is the so-called boss you speak of now? You'd better tell the truth, or else you'll end up like him.”
"I…I'm at Wellington Tavern, in that direction. Boss is discussing business with the leader of the Crocodile Gang.”
Looking into Lawton's bone-chilling, emotionless eyes, the hooligan gulped in fear. Under Lawton's might, he chose to tell the truth.
"Very good, you can live now."
Lawton threw the thug away and ignored the people who had started to surround him. He walked in the direction the thug pointed at. He was going to cause trouble.
Ten minutes later, Lawton walked out of Wellington Tavern and left without saying anything.
After Lawton left, someone mustered up the courage to walk into the tavern. What greeted their eyes was an extremely bloody scene. The leaders of the Rhinoceros Gang and the Crocodile Gang had been beheaded, and the other high-ranking members of the meeting had also been killed or injured. The entire tavern was filled with blood…It could be said that Lawton had killed all the high-ranking members of the two gangs in this massacre. It was imaginable that there would definitely be a bloody struggle between the two gangs in the future. At that time, who knew how many people would die.
However, this had nothing to do with Lawton. After killing so many people, he did not feel any regret. Anyway, there were no good people in the garbage mountain (good people could not survive in the garbage mountain). Killing them would be eliminating evil for the people.
" Don't miss it when you pass by. There are all kinds of rare items from all over the world…"
After walking out of the tavern, Lawton came to an empty space. He opened the bag and started his business.
This was also the reason why he had to take out the Crocodile Gang and the Rhinoceros Gang. In a place like the uncertain terminal, no matter how good your things were, it was useless because no one would believe it. Moreover, the better your things were, the easier it was for others to rob you. Especially for a newcomer like Lawton, if he wanted to do business, other than having good things, he had to have a reputation. Only with a big enough reputation would others not dare to provoke him and be more willing to believe that the things in his hands were good. Only then would they be willing to pay for his things.
It turned out that Lawton's strategy was quite correct. As he shouted, a large group of people quickly gathered in front of his stall. However, due to his murderous aura, no one dared to go forward to inquire about the price.
Fortunately, the person who broke the situation soon arrived…
