I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 702 Dragon Head Bronze Statue
"I understand..."
Robert's face was pale, trying hard to regain his composure, he nodded bitterly, "When I started harboring ill thoughts towards you, you had already decided to make a move against me."
"You're really too smart." Lu Zheng laughed, coming over to Robert's side, patting his shoulder, "But not smart enough."
"I am very useful!" Robert, being the heir of a distinguished family, immediately grasped the crux of the matter, and said in survival instinct, "I belong to the Fan Ning Clan of Bao Yi Group, my grandfather is Kelson Fanning! He is a Lord in Eagle Country.
Moreover, I previously mortgaged family shares to the Monte Carlo Casino to swap for a billion funds, our relationship has records inside the casino."
"Understand, so if anyone investigates us, they'd immediately know, thus my being the prime suspect once you're dead." Lu Zheng nodded, "And your grandfather is influential, surely he'd come looking for trouble."
"I dare not, dare not!"
Robert shook his head repeatedly, "However, after all, it would be quite troublesome, wouldn't it? I can assist you in many things!"
Pure threats he dared not voice directly, but it was even better if Lu Zheng understood it himself, presumably Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were formidable, but certainly couldn't withstand true force, otherwise they would've ruled the world long ago.
"Thanks for the reminder." Lu Zheng smiled, "If I recall correctly, the headquarters of Bao Yi Group is in Eagle Country, right?"
"Yes."
"Your grandfather is Bao Yi Group's largest individual shareholder, and you have an uncle and an aunt, along with three siblings."
Robert's temple dripped with cold sweat.
"I heard your ancestor was once a major in Eagle Country's overseas legion, participated in some wars against East Asia, and was decorated upon return.
And your clan, hence, has been flourishing smoothly, unexpectedly, it's been glorious for more than 150 years, truly a centennial family!"
After Robert invited Lu Zheng and Lin Wan to Monaco, Lin Wan secretly investigated Robert's background, although many classified materials were hard to find, common secret materials were unguarded against Lin Wan.
"But the foundation of your family's rise is full of blood, according to your beliefs, it's original sin.
This original sin demands redemption, and the price isn't indulgences, but your lives. My ancestor instructed me to tell you, the blood debt your ancestor owed should be repaid."
Robert's pupils shrank suddenly, wanting to say more, yet felt his vision darken, completely losing consciousness.
Since Lu Zheng had already revealed his identity, it indicated he was done playing around and was too lazy to waste words with Robert.
Lu Zheng retrieved his right hand from Robert's chest and turned to ask Lin Wan, "Are there any good people in the Fan Ning Clan?"
"Unfortunately, none."
"Not even one?"
Lin Wan shrugged, "From his grandfather's generation, the only one fond of art and painting once destroyed the hands of a student more talented than her, leading the student to suicide."
"Tsk tsk, truly birds of a feather flock together." Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "In that case the matter becomes simpler, doesn't it?"
Just like Robert said, if he alone died, his grandfather might pursue revenge, but if all the victims were gone, there'd be no one to investigate.
Very simple logic, isn't it?
Even if Eagle Country's officials were interested, they'd investigate powerful families or corporations with grudges against the Fan Ning Clan, what would it have to do with two small fry like Lu Zheng and Lin Wan?
...
Robert, the middle-aged man, and the six gunmen were all dissolved to ashes with Corpse-Dissolving Powder, leaving no trace by Lu Zheng's hand.
Bones crushed and scattered, souls flying and disappearing.
Then Lu Zheng and Lin Wan left, directly flying invisibly over Gaul and Eagle Strait, arriving in Manchester where the Fan Ning Clan was.
Overnight, all direct members of the Fan Ning Clan along with their bodyguards vanished.
...
When Lu Zheng and Lin Wan finally arrived at the Fan Ning Clan's century-old castle, they found Kelson Fanning in the underground collection chamber.
At that time, Kelson was admiring and playing with a head-sized bronze artwork.
"Damn, so it was here!"
A Golden Palace Heart Sword dispatched the old man, Lu Zheng reached out for the artwork.
The Twelve Zodiac, Dragon Head!
The Twelve Zodiac Animal Head Bronze Sculptures had been missing for over a hundred years, seven have surfaced, yet five remain unaccounted for, and this Dragon Head Bronze Statue was one among them.
Lin Wan appeared beside him, glanced around, discovering many ancient cultural relics of Hua Country, mostly metals and jades, easier to take presumably.
Besides the Hua Country artifacts, there were also some Japan-style, Third Brother-style pieces, and artworks that were hard to discern origin but certainly antiques.
"These must have been brought back by his grandfather from all over the world, considered as the Fan Ning Clan's heritage."
Lin Wan said, "It's just that the Fan Ning Clan has always thrived, hence these things haven't been sold off, no wonder the Dragon Head Bronze Statue hadn't emerged, likely the same for the other few."
Lu Zheng nodded, patted the gourd, then collected all the artifacts inside, finally admiring the Dragon Head in his hand, before putting it inside too.
"Still send it to The Forbidden City?"
Lu Zheng nodded, saying, "Second time around just like before, but no rush, wait until the storm passes."
Lin Wan pondered, "Alright!"
...
When they returned to the Monte Carlo Metropole Hotel in Monaco, it was just past one in the morning, prime time for the nightclub.
Thus, they appeared in the bar, having a drink under many eyes before leisurely returning to their room.
A night without words.
Though they missed Chanel's new release, the next day they roamed Monte Carlo's luxury stores for half a day, purchasing various autumn items, after all, they had just gained a billion for free; spending some was only right.
...
"Finally back!"
Sea City Airport, Lin Wan clung to Lu Zheng's arm, smiling as she said, "Next time, let's not go traveling in Europe, okay? Went three times, each resulted in trouble."
The first time, a whole island was dealt with through Tony.
The second time, Old John's entire family was cleared.
The third time, the Fan Ning Clan was annihilated.
"But the rewards were great, especially this time with the Dragon Head Bronze Statue."
Lin Wan did not object, even had the thought of privately investigating other Yingfa Clan details.
After all, besides the Dragon Head, four Beast Head Bronze Statues remain unfound, right?
...
The weather in Hai City gradually cools, even more so in Tonglin County.
Lu Zheng had donned the Wolf Fur Coat made from Cold Li Wolf Hide by the Thousand-Year-old Great Demon of Du Yu Mountain; its warmth was unparalleled.
Lu Zheng, dressed in the Wolf Fur Coat, wearing a Tiger Skin Hat, and Pigskin Boots, akin to a wealthy landowner, had just left Leping Building and was strolling down the main street of Tonglin County.
As Yu Jinbai joined Lu Zheng, the two strolled leisurely towards Cong'an Square.
"Young Master Lu, the pig's head meat you made is really good, I drank half a pound of wine with the meat yesterday and still feel tipsy this morning."
"Hahaha, as long as it's tasty!"
With winter settling in, Lu Zheng bought several pig heads from the market and made pig's head meat, sharing some with each family.
Recently, Yu Jinbai and his wife were often visiting them, growing quite familiar, hence Lu Zheng sent them a portion too.
Thus, when Yu Jinbai saw Lu Zheng in Leping Building that morning, he specifically expressed his gratitude.
Now as the building cleared around noon, Yu Jinbai planned to inspect his gold and silver shop, while Lu Zheng recalled that he hadn't visited the Sweet Shop in quite some time, deciding to go and have a look on his way.
However, just as they reached the entrance of Cong'an Square, they saw Chu Jin coming from the street corner.
"Young Master Lu."
"Lord Chu?"
Lu Zheng paused his steps, letting Yu Jinbai proceed ahead, then he followed Chu Jin into a private room in the adjacent teahouse.
