Eternal King.
Never a false word.
If he said one second, there would be no second.
Tony and Yak, two well-known bodyguard aces from abroad, didn't even have time to react before they became dead men.
Foreigners dared to call themselves kings and dominate within the Dragon God Nation's territory?
Chu Fan showed no courtesy to them, unlike the retired guards of the War God Hall downstairs.
Death was a certainty.
Thump!
Guan Hongyun knelt before Chu Fan.
It wasn't that he wanted to kneel, but his legs could no longer support his body to stand.
Too terrifying!
How could such a terrifying person exist in the world?
Guan Hongyun knew that Tony and Yak could exchange dozens of blows with the Northern War God and others.
Yet, facing such a young Chu Fan, they were defeated in a single move.
With such strength, could he be a Grandmaster?
In the entire Dragon God Nation, there were fewer than ten Grandmasters, and each of them was over fifty years old.
A Grandmaster like Chu Fan, in his early twenties, was unprecedented.
Guan Hongyun's thoughts were in chaos.
His confidence turned into a corpse in an instant.
His face was ashen, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with terror as he stared at Chu Fan, unable to anticipate what awaited him next.
Ji Ningyue was also unsettled.
Although she had long witnessed Chu Fan's extraordinary nature, she was still tensed up by the shock.
During their previous investigation into Guan Hongyun, the profiles had specifically described the two ace bodyguards.
The profiles indicated that their strength was comparable to the Five Great War Gods, and the number of lives they had taken was countless.
Such formidable individuals were killed by Chu Fan in an instant. wap.kanshuwu.net
At this moment, Ji Ningyue finally understood how Chu Fan could become the master of the Azure Dragon Consortium and how he could command the respect of the fifth-ranked Azure Dragon on the International War God List.
Young Master, you are truly terrifying.
Seeing that Guan Hongyun was scared out of his wits and his consciousness was dazed, Chu Fan had no choice but to walk up to him, grab his collar, and lift him up.
"Old man, I'm looking for you just to retrieve something that doesn't belong to you!"
"Hand it over obediently, and you'll be fine today."
"Otherwise, the 'King of Collections' will cease to exist in this world."
Guan Hongyun's entire body felt cold.
At this moment, all he wanted was to send this fierce god away. He hurriedly said, "My lord, just say what you want, and I'll give you anything you desire!"
No matter how much wealth one had, it was useless without life.
Guan Hongyun's thoughts at this moment were very simple; it wasn't just about wanting one item.
Even if Chu Fan wanted the entire Treasure Pavilion, he would not hesitate to agree.
"A plum blossom wooden hairpin with six petals, and the wooden box that contains it."
Guan Hongyun frowned slightly, wondering if he had such an ordinary item in his collection.
He had so many treasures stored that he couldn't remember if he had such an item.
However, upon seeing Chu Fan's gaze becoming increasingly sharp, Guan Hongyun quickly said, "My lord, please wait a moment. I have too many collected items to recall if I have such an item. May I have some time to check?"
After Chu Fan let go, Guan Hongyun, with his weak legs, walked to the desk and used the computer to search.
"My lord, I found it! I found the item you're looking for!"
Guan Hongyun was extremely delighted.
He knew that if he couldn't find it, things would be dire, as the other party had come for this item.
Every treasure in the Treasure Pavilion had a record and a number, as well as its location on which floor.
"My lord, please follow me. I'll take you to get it right away!"
On the third floor of the building, Guan Hongyun quickly led Chu Fan and the other person to display cabinet number five, where the wooden hairpin was stored.
"My lord, the item..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Hongyun suddenly fell silent.
The glass display cabinet number five was empty; neither the wooden hairpin nor the wooden box was there.
"Where are the items? Why are they gone?"
Guan Hongyun scanned his surroundings, trying to confirm if he had the wrong place.
Fearing Chu Fan's anger, he quickly explained, "My lord, I swear on my life, that item was definitely placed here before, but I don't know how it disappeared!"
A chilling aura emanated from Chu Fan, causing goosebumps to rise all over Guan Hongyun's body.
The feeling of impending death washed over him.
Guan Hongyun didn't want to die, so he hastily said, "My lord, please give me some more time. Someone must have taken the item. I'll check the surveillance footage immediately!"
"Thirty minutes!"
Given permission, Guan Hongyun immediately contacted people to check the surveillance footage, wanting to know how the item that was originally placed there had vanished.
The Treasure Pavilion had such tight security; it was impossible for it to be stolen.
Ten minutes later.
Guan Hongyun suddenly received a notification.
Upon hearing that his daughter, Guan Ziqi, had secretly taken the wooden hairpin and wooden box, his heart sank.
He didn't know what his daughter had taken the items for.
He only knew that if he could retrieve them, everything would be alright.
If they couldn't be retrieved, today would be disastrous.
Guan Hongyun was in a dilemma, hesitating whether to contact his daughter and ask why she had taken the items.
If he couldn't hand over the items now, only he would die.
If his daughter became involved and the items couldn't be found, both of them would die.
At this moment, Chu Fan's voice rang out, "Within ten minutes, I want to see her."
Guan Hongyun's scalp turned numb, and he looked at Chu Fan in terror, not expecting that Chu Fan, sitting ten meters away, could still hear the information from his phone report.
Too terrifying.
With the situation as it was, Guan Hongyun hurriedly contacted his daughter.
"Ziqi, quickly, get to the Treasure Pavilion within ten minutes!"
Guan Ziqi, who had just gone to bed after a night of revelry and had slept for less than two hours, just wanted to sleep. She mumbled back, "Dad, you can tell me over the phone. I haven't slept all night and don't want to move."
"I told you to get to the Treasure Pavilion within ten minutes."
"Otherwise, I'll cut off all your allowance!"
Guan Hongyun was furious.
As the 'King of Collections' of the Dragon God Nation, he was being treated like a dog by Chu Fan, and he had a lot of pent-up anger.
While his own life was on the line, his daughter still had the mind to sleep. It was no wonder he was angry.
Guan Ziqi, groggy from sleep, was instantly startled awake by the angry roar, tears streaming down her face.
As the pampered darling of the family since childhood, she had always been doted on by Guan Hongyun and had never been scolded like this.
"Dad, what happened?"
"Are you deaf? I told you to get to the Treasure Pavilion within ten minutes!"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Guan Ziqi dared not delay and immediately got out of bed.
Time ticked by second by second.
Guan Hongyun was anxiously like an ant on a hot pan as his daughter was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, Chu Fan said nothing for the moment, so he could only continue to wait anxiously.
Waiting was the most tormenting.
"Dad, what's going on downstairs? Why are all the Treasure Pavilion guards sitting on the ground!"
Guan Ziqi's voice came from outside the door.
As she rushed in, she happened to see the two ace bodyguards, their orifices bleeding and their bodies already stiff. She let out a scream and almost collapsed to the ground.
In normal times, if his daughter was scared, Guan Hongyun would have shown great concern.
But now, with a knife at his throat, he didn't have the mind to pay attention to these things. He rushed to his daughter's side with quick steps, grabbed her arm, and asked anxiously, "What did you do with the item from display cabinet number five on the third floor, the wooden hairpin and the wooden box?"
Mentioning this matter, Guan Ziqi's expression changed slightly.
She hadn't expected her father to find out that she had taken the items.
Seeing her father's anxiety and how much he valued the item, she immediately feigned ignorance.
"Dad, what wooden hairpin and wooden box? I don't know!"
Slap...
Guan Hongyun slapped his daughter across the face.
Guan Ziqi was instantly stunned.
"You're still lying to me? If I wasn't sure you took it, would I have asked you?"
It was the first time she had seen her father so angry.
Guan Ziqi said softly, "I gave it away!"
"To whom?"
Chu Fan spoke.
The temperature in the office dropped sharply.
The more times an item changed hands, the greater the possibility of it being lost.
Having been delayed until now, his patience had run out.
