Chapter 529 Under that place
Chapter 529 Under that place
The Political City has numerous medieval buildings, built with thick, sturdy walls in the style of castles or similar things.
They looked very much like buildings some 300 to 500 years ago on earth, so they gave an imposing feeling of wealth and nobility.
This was a city for Matthew to admire because its artistic beauty was so well done. It reflected grace, nobility, and power.
Every street was guarded by powerful armies of vampires, who were prepared for any situation that might arise. Most of the kingdom's ministers and important people in the kingdom's politics lived here, such as nobles, high army officials, and many important businessmen.
The wealth gathered here was staggering, and although the city is not as well known as the Capital or the City of the Clans, it is still a prominent city in the political arena.
"It's a beautiful city." Complimented Matthew sincerely.
Ava agreed with him, and the man next to him introduced them.
"Welcome to the City where many of the decisions that will impact the civilian population of the Kingdom are made. Foreign policy is also handled from here, and indirectly, a large part of the Kingdom is administered from here. Also, welcome to the territory of the 13 Leading Organizations of the Underworld."
Matthew smiled, "While being here may seem dangerous, the reality is that it is the best hiding place. It seems that many of the ministers and people of political power in the Kingdom are with these organizations. Honestly, I must commend them for this. What a great way to hide."
"Haha, I must admit that this is largely because of Miss Rachel Richson's help before she died. Even though she left us plunged into chaos, she still left us some control of the kingdom. An admirable woman."
"From the way you talk, you're not young. Have you met her?"
He smiled. "My name is Egrand Richson, sir. Miss Rachel's younger brother and Lord Ead's advisor. I'm not as good as either of them, but if you need anything, you can contact me." He replied.
Matthew was taken by surprise. 'Although he is quite old, he doesn't look it.' He thought and smiled.
"Since you're so old, I wanted to ask how the Richson Mafia went down after Rachel Richson died, " Matthew said.
But people were coming in and out of this place.
Egrand was quite well known in this place, so they were soon able to enter. In doing so, Matthew and Ava discovered that it was divided into several floors, but not upwards but downwards.
Not just anyone could gain access, high status was required to do so, but Egrand had free access to this place, so they had no problem gaining access.
Going down to the first floor, the situation changed a bit. There was a huge marketplace with many buildings. It was not a cave, but it was gigantic and allowed to walk freely without feeling overwhelmed.
There were people walking around.
"This is not the only access place, but around here, it is the safest. There are several small groups that profit in these places, selling all kinds of things. Many up there know this as 'The Authentic Black Market.' Anything you can't get up there, here you will surely get, and if you don't, you will surely get a person who can get it for you for a good sum of money."
"Everything is for sale here except people. Thanks to Princess Emma, every kind of human trafficking that was going on in the kingdom was promptly abolished, although that took a portion of the work away from us." He smiled mockingly, for he was grateful for what Emma Lewis did, even though it had brought them great loss and scolding.
This place was not just a market; there were residences and houses here. Although it was not too big, there were hotels to stay in. It was like a small subway city. The political leaders could not have missed this, so it meant they had been ignoring it for some reason.
As they walked, he also introduced them to the place. This was just the kind of place Matthew didn't consider worthy.

There were all kinds of disasters and things out of the ordinary here, murders were common here, and fights were the bread and butter, but there were also rapes and other kinds of disasters.
'This is a real trash city. But it'll do for now.' Matthew sighed and looked at Egrand.
"Take me to the deep places. This is of no value to me."
Egrand nodded to him, and soon after, they went back down one floor down.
