The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 747

Sylvia's POV:

The mysterious man seemed to be very familiar with the black market, as he was able to tell me a great deal about it in a relatively short amount of time.

I kept quiet and paid close attention to what he was saying.

To my surprise, he then wrapped his arm around my shoulder as if we were close friends. "It's your first time here. Are you shocked that such a place exists in the heart of the capital city? Come on. I'll show you around."

The mysterious man took the lead in walking forward. I didn't follow him and just watched his back vigilantly.

This man was very suspicious. He didn't seem to come to the black market for business. Instead, it felt as though he was waiting there in the bar for me on purpose.

The mysterious man took a few steps forward before realizing I wasn't following him. So, he turned around and walked back to me.

I stepped back vigilantly, wanting to keep a distance.

The mysterious man had no choice but to stop in his tracks. "Stop walking back. Make sure you stay in this side the wall. If you go out, you won't be able to enter again."

I stopped as soon as I heard him. I raised my hand and pulled down my hood, trying to distance myself from him.

"The guide won't take you here without the secret code, and a person can only enter here once a day," he informed me in a low voice.

I raised my head slightly and lowered my voice like him. "What is the secret code?"

The mysterious man scoffed at my query. Instead of answering my question, he asked, "Why did you come here to the black market?"

I couldn't help but clench my fists at his attitude. There was obviously something off about this guy. He was talking to me like I was his close friend, not a stranger he had just met.

He seemed to know me...

"Who are you? Why did you help me?" I asked him.
