In the end, the two checked into two different hotel rooms. With an upset look on her face, Crystal complained, “Aren’t we supposed to save money now that we’re away from home? One hotel room costs hundreds. We can just pay for one room so why pay for two?”
Matthew was at a loss for words. All of a sudden, he realized that it was not a good thing to come to Woodside with Crystal.
After having dinner at the hotel, Crystal briefly introduced Woodside’s situation to Matthew. This place didn’t only have a black market, it gathered all kinds of people from the three states. Those people would bring goods to Woodside that couldn’t be sold legally and sell them, but there were also a lot of fakes, which was why those who dared to buy things here were not ordinary people.
People who dared to shop here either had great power or came from powerful families, and they usually brought knowledgeable people along in order to avoid making mistakes. Plus, the security in Woodside was not good for the past few years and there were often murders and robberies. Later on, a man called Ambrose Arnold appeared from nowhere. This man had great fighting skills and was ruthless. After several fights, he defeated all opposing forces and established rules for Woodside. He announced that Woodside was only a market and no conflict was allowed in the market, and those who disobeyed would be dealt with Woodside rules!
It was precisely because of the establishment of these rules that made the security in Woodside better. From then on, there were no more murders and robberies. Furthermore, the black market got better. Woodside, a remote village, slowly became prosperous and wealthy and this was closely related to the appearance of Ambrose.
Ambrose had a great business mind. At first, Woodside was just a black market where people simply set up stalls and sold goods on the streets.
Later, he unified the whole underground market, and Woodside would only open their black market three days every month. Within these three days, everything would be sold in Ambrose’s underground market. At the same time, in order to attract more people, there was exciting entertainment in the underground market—horse racing, dog fighting, and boxing were all available, which was why Woodside was no longer a simple black market.
The underground boxing competition alone attracted many big shots from all over the world every month. After hearing Crystal’s explanation,
Matthew had a better understanding of Woodside.
“Shouldn’t someone from Woodside be in control of this place? Why did they let an outsider take control?” Matthew asked curiously.
