Chapter 42 Techniques

• The underground market was a hidden part of every major city—thriving in the shadows, yet deeply connected to the powerful figures who ran things from behind the scenes. It was the kind of place where you could find rare treasures at a steal or get ripped off the moment you blinked. A place where stolen goods, contraband, and things that had no business being sold in the open found new owners.
• There were no laws here, only unspoken rules. No one asked where an item came from, and once a deal was made, there were no refunds. If you were smart, you’d keep your mouth shut, make your purchases, and leave before attracting the wrong kind of attention.
• And always cover your tracks if you make purchases in bulks, in order to avoid the government rats who are keeping tape on everyone.
