After spending more than half an hour, the Mystic Regulation Team managed to follow several other groups and successfully entered the Ghost Market through means of coercion and other tactics.
Hannah Hearne and Callum Yuan teamed up and sought out disciples recommended by several Mystical Sect families in the Capital Metropolitan, including the representative of the Xander Family.
Because Gregory Xander did not accept the spot given by Preston Xander, the latter had to choose another relatively outstanding nephew from the collateral line, named Clayton Xander.
The six people in Clayton Xander’s group were all outstanding descendants of the six representative Mystical Sect families in the Capital Metropolitan, including members of the Zimmerman Family, who were the best at making Magic Artifacts.
With Magic Artifacts in hand, their group opened the Ghost Gate with exceptional ease.
Hannah Hearne and Callum Yuan arrived just as the Ghost Gate was about to open.
Originally, Callum Yuan intended to directly threaten the other party to let them follow in, but Hannah Hearne stopped him.
Relying on her youthful appearance and acting skills, Hannah Hearne started crying while telling a story about a young fox demon cub forced by the Elder to participate in the Mystical Sect competition.
"...You don’t know, our Demon Clan Elders are extremely ruthless.
If we’re eliminated in the first round, the Elder will definitely lock me under the Soul Tree upon returning, letting the Soul Tree drain all our demonic power and essence, sob sob sob..."
When Hannah Hearne mentioned the possible punishment, her entire body began to tremble.
Her weak and pitiful appearance instantly gained the trust of a few upstanding young disciples from prestigious families who had little interaction with the Demon Clan.
Considering these two were surprisingly both minors, in a show of grace, Clayton Xander and his group invited Hannah Hearne and Callum Yuan to enter the Ghost Market with them.
"Though it’s a competition, we as members of the Mystical Sect have always been upright. Even if we want to win, we will only do so fairly and squarely through our strength."
As Clayton Xander spoke, he continued,
"Although we’re in different camps, you’ll have to rely on yourselves once we’re in the Ghost Market. But don’t worry, the competition just started about ten minutes ago, and being with us, you’re definitely among the first group to enter the Ghost Market. You have plenty of time, just find what you need slowly..."
Mid-sentence, his speech suddenly halted as his gaze caught a figure not far away.
Following his line of sight, Hannah Hearne and the others saw Gregory Xander looking up from a stall, making eye contact with them.
Due to Scarlett Jennings, Gregory Xander recognized Hannah Hearne. Callum Yuan had also competed with them before, so he politely nodded in their direction.
Clayton Xander snapped back from his initial shock, confirming he hadn’t mistaken the person,
"Bro, Gregory!"
Being from the Xander Family himself, Clayton Xander knew Gregory Xander and was aware that he only got the recommendation because the person in front hadn’t taken the spot.
Recalling his earlier confident and self-satisfied words, Clayton Xander felt a burning embarrassment on his face,
"Bro, Gregory, you guys got in so quickly?"
Gregory Xander knew who the other party was but was aware he had a better relationship with Elysia Xander before, so he just nodded lightly in acknowledgment.
Without saying much, he turned to Evan Anson, who was still searching for something nearby, spoke a word, and the two left.
Clayton Xander’s group felt somewhat disheartened by the encounter, whereas Hannah Hearne and Callum Yuan maintained a much more composed expression.
See,
they knew Scarlett and her group would definitely be the fastest to arrive.
However, five minutes later, when they saw Scarlett Jennings at a stall, they realized they had underestimated the speed of her group.
They saw Scarlett Jennings seated with Nathan White at a stall decorated with various white bone ornaments, very Underworld-style, in a corner.
The position was evidently... the stall owner’s position.
"Scarlett, are you... already selling things?"
Even if Scarlett managed to enter the Ghost Market the moment the competition started, it’s only been twenty minutes. How did she manage to become a stall owner???
Aren’t the competition rules about finding your own items?!
"Wait, have you already found your item?"
Unable to hold back, Hannah Hearne asked.
