Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Scoring Twice_1 Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Scoring Twice_1 “You…”

At that moment, Selana seemed to understand a lot.

“What’s wrong?”

Fu Qian glanced at her somewhat strangely.

“This is my… extremely important Transcendent item…”
It was apparent that she was struggling to organize her words.

“And then?”

“So… can you give it back to me?”

Ah?

After hearing her request, Fu Qian’s face was full of disbelief.

“Didn’t you thoroughly investigate me and fully understand me? How could you still have such an unrealistic idea?”

“After all, with more than five hundred years of experience, you’re no different from Tyler!”

…

For a moment, Selana almost had the urge to fight it out with him.

Losing a Transcendent item was one thing, but for him to actually say she was no better than an idiot like Tyler, this evaluation was simply an insult.

And the most crucial part was that she couldn’t refute it.

After all, upon further thought, although the process was different, in essence, they seemed to have little difference.

Both had known about this guy’s nasty nature early on, yet both had presented their family’s heirloom right before him, thinking they were in control of the situation, and then both suffered a great loss.

No wonder he had asked so thoroughly about the method to activate and deactivate it earlier.

The more Selana thought about it, the higher her blood pressure rose.

Calm down!

Ancient Reminiscence was important, but staying alive came first.

Not to mention her injuries, even in perfect condition, with his unpredictable methods, the outcome was difficult to tell.

And it was clear that he was provoking her to make a move, and since this was his territory, if she came to him and got killed, the Night Watchmen would have no reason to leave.

She couldn’t let him succeed.

“Fine!”

After a bout of self-psychological soothing, the Bloodline Clan lady finally made up her mind and decisively accepted defeat.

…

Selana’s departing figure was somewhat desolate.

Even with the sun shining brightly, there was a sense of a heartbroken person at the ends of the earth.

Watching her leave, Fu Qian also felt quite reflective.

He placed the spoils of war on the counter and then casually took out the Abyssal Chronicle, placing it alongside the other item.

The local gang… was just too polite!

They were rushing over one after another to bring gifts.

Is the Bloodline Clan really filled with simpletons?

The two items on the counter, although lacking any direct damaging ability, were undoubtedly of a very high rank.

In Fu Qian’s view, they were actually more valuable than some major lethal weapons.

After all, considering his solidified form, killing power was no longer a shortcoming for him.

The blow that had injured Selana earlier had fully demonstrated this point.

The physique of a Demigod Level vampire was like paper mache before him.

She had even initiated a kind of semi-incorporeal state that obviously included special defensive bonuses, yet it was still useless as she was torn apart, nearly half her body destroyed.

In comparison, the special effects of the two items might actually come in handy–although, like the previous Chronical he had obtained, Fu Qian didn’t plan on exploring this eye too hastily.

In their recent exchange, Lady Selana had unintentionally revealed some information.

After the previous conflict, the Gulad Family’s response was somewhat abnormal.

There were constant minor actions at first, and after getting knocked back, there was an abrupt 180-degree turn with an excessively erratic behavior.

It’s important to remember that this wasn’t a childish fight, but a family that had the clout to cause trouble right under the Night Watchmen’s noses.

Not to mention the legendary pride of the Bloodline Clan, these kinds of actions that could make other families and syndicates laugh were hard to imagine them accepting.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon at work!

So obedient, could it be that there’s something extremely important that they’re in a hurry to do, and they don’t want to create any disturbances in the process?

This was a reasonable explanation.

Moreover, this plan must have been unexpected, happening right around the time of the Gan Zuoxun incident, since they were still quite active in their smaller schemes before that.

Interesting!

Seeming to sense that something was brewing, Fu Qian packed away his spoils and stood up.

Before things are cleared up, it’s better not to do any dangerous exploration, especially since I only have a few dozen SAN Points left.

Why not have a chat with Chief Yuan.

…

“You’re looking for me again for what–holy fuck!”

At the Night Watchmen Base, in Chief Yuan’s office, a familiar scene unfolded.

No sooner had Fu Qian taken two steps inside than Yuan Shan jumped up.

“You, I… the Gulad Family matter–you really took care of it?”

“I didn’t get any news about it at all, your moves were a bit too clean!”

“Do you think I’m a deity or something!”

Fu Qian scoffed at Chief Yuan’s rampant speculations.

“Moreover, you might be misunderstanding something. I always advocate for the invincible benevolence.”

…

“Then what’s with the item you have on you?”

It was clear that Yuan Shan didn’t quite believe in the philosophy of invincible benevolence, but she seemed to have confirmed that Fu Qian hadn’t wiped out the Gulad Family.

“Are you talking about this?”

Considering that the other party was in a state of emotional turmoil, Fu Qian didn’t pull out the Abyssal Chronicle to scare anyone and instead presented his new trophy directly.

“I knew it!”

Yuan Shan appeared to be on the verge of madness as she scrutinized the sphere Fu Qian placed on the desk.

“Another one!”

“And if I’m not mistaken, this should be a Transcendent item belonging to Selana, right? She never gave it to anyone else in the Gulad Family. Where did you get it from?”

“Not giving it to others doesn’t mean she can’t give it to me,”
Fu Qian said casually.

“What if she has a special tradition, like only passing it to outsiders, not to her own people?”

God damn passing it on to outsiders but not internally!

Drawing on past experience, Yuan Shan realized that continuing this banter would be endless, so she took a deep breath and forcibly changed the subject.

“Has Selana given you trouble?”

Right.

Seeing her proactively broach the main issue, Fu Qian nodded.

“Because of the Chronicle?”

“You could say that.”

“That’s just like her style, still so reckless in her actions!”

Yuan Shan huffed, her displeasure barely concealed.

“And then she didn’t achieve her goal, even having her Transcendent item taken by you?”

“What do you mean ‘taken’? Do you think I’m running a robbery?”

Fu Qian expressed his dissatisfaction with her choice of words.

“I can’t imagine how you pulled it off–Ancient Reminiscence, I’ve heard quite a bit about it. Even by Night Watchmen standards, it’s a pretty decent Transcendent item.”

Yuan Shan gave Fu Qian a sideways glance.

“But with you taking advantage like that, I’m not in a good position to fight for justice on your behalf. I’ll just offer some indirect pressure at most.”

“No need, ‘when friends come from afar, is it not a joy? And as far as I know… it seems they’ve already given themselves a good knocking.’”
“What do you mean?”

Yuan Shan’s interest piqued, detecting an underlying implication.

“I’m actually quite curious myself.”

Without holding back, Fu Qian shared the story of the internal prohibition within the Gulad Family that Selana had mentioned, as well as Tyler coming to him separately to cause trouble.

“So that’s it!”

After hearing Fu Qian’s account, Yuan Shan fell into deep thought for a moment.

“They’ve been strangely compliant, which is not their style.”
