Fated To The Cursed Lycan Prince
Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 748

Sylvia’s POV:

I pushed Blair’s hand away and stepped back. “Of course, you’re special to me. You’re not only my teacher, but you’ve always been helpful to me. Most importantly, you’re Rufus’ best friend.”

I intentionally emphasized the last sentence to warn him not to cross the line.

Although Blair never said it outright, his words and actions implied a lot.

However, I didn’t want things to be awkward with him because he meant a lot to both Rufus and me.

For a moment, he didn’t say anything. Then, his smile suddenly dissipated. His expression was now rather complicated. He stared at me quietly for a few seconds and said nothing before putting his hood back on.

“What are you doing here in the black market? I can help you.”

I hesitated for a while before finally saying, “I’m here to replace an expert in witchcraft.”

Blair nodded. “Come with me. I’ll take you to meet the most powerful wizard here. Ordinary people can’t see him.”

Soon, Blair took me to a darker place. Earlier, I could still see some lamps in the alley, but only candles illuminated the area here. All the buildings and structures were very primitive. Even the sound of wind seemed like it came from an ancient forest.

Still, a sizable number of people were present. This place was also lively, but people wore more luxurious robes and cloaks.

This place was much more advanced than where I had been earlier.

Along the way, Blair took the time to explain to me what the black market was and its operations. I could tell he knew this place very well, seeing how he seemed to be familiar with even the smallest alleys and all the shortcuts.

He seemed to know what I was thinking and murmured, “I often come here. Rufus is also a regular customer here.”

“Rufus comes here a lot?” I was shocked. I thought the black market was an illegal place, so when I decided to come here, I tried to psyche myself up.

Blair cracked a grin and said matter-of-factly, “Let’s not be judgmental. The royal family also needs to engage in business in other unlawful areas. But they have to be discreet and must not overdo it. So it requires secret regulation and supervision. The wizards and witches may look mysterious, but many of them are actually Rufus’ people. Many of their customers are also from the royal family.”

I swallowed and felt like a naive fool falling into a trap.

I was under the impression that the black market was closed off to the general public and that anyone who went here was actively breaking the law.

Unlikely as it may seem, the royal family had already been supervising it.

I should have thought of this. The black market was located in the heart of the capital city. It was only natural that the royal family knew its existence.

I couldn’t help but touch my forehead in frustration. I had been so stupid recently.

“So if you don’t want Rufus to know you are here, you should be more careful. Maybe one of these passers-by is his confidant,” Blair said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, I immediately pulled down the hood of my cloak and looked around vigilantly.

A playful smile crept on Blair’s lips when he saw me like that. “It looks like you and Rufus still don’t trust each other completely. What secret are you trying to hide from him?”
