Snakes have their own paths, and so do rats.
Those entrenched in the Imperial Capital's shopping district specializing in illicit transactions indeed had their methods.
They smuggled Xia Ji and his companions out of the Imperial Capital while successfully forging their exit records.
Transported through secret channels for a fee of fifty million Star Yuan, with an additional fifty million Star Yuan for forged records, totaling one hundred million Star Yuan. Though frighteningly expensive, it was executed cleanly without leaving any troubles behind.
Without legitimate entry and exit records, their covert departure would have been a one-time deal. If they wished to reenter, they would again face the inescapable fee of fifty million Star Yuan or be detained by the Imperial Security Department for questioning—with only fate determining if they would emerge unscathed. Either way, that money was inevitable.
