“Damn!”
The moment Chen Xiaobei stepped into the vault, he was dumbfounded. Needless to say, the vault did not disappoint him. Set aside the valuable items, the sandalwood shelf alone could cost up to millions of RMB! And the items that were put on the shelf were some of the most valuables items in this world. The numerous jewelry that were placed in the vault were all designer pieces.
The antiques in the vault could be compared to the collected items that would be showcased at the museum of the Qing castle. Some of them were even rarer and valuable.
On the other hand, there were various martial arts manuals being kept in the vault – the amount of it was more than some of the random factions in Jianghu.
As for the weapons and armors, one could see that all of them were handcrafted by legendary blacksmiths. Some of them were once used by the deceased emperors or generals.
Lastly, there were all kinds of medicine being place on a total of ten shelves! Expensive medical ingredients like the Ganoderma, ginseng, deer horns, and bear kidneys were all over the place. Chen Xiaobei even spotted some of them ultra-rare medical ingredients that one could not find in the market. Through his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, Chen Xiaobei could see all kind of pills being stored inside the little jade bottles. With a single glance, Chen Xiaobei was impressed by the things that Zhuang Family collected and possessed.
It was no wonder they were known as the most powerful family in Dragon City. Other than ancient factions, there were no other factions or families were on their calibres.
“There are quite a number of things in this vault,” said Chen Xiaobei in a calm and casual manner. It was as if he did not care too much about all these resources.
Upon seeing that, Zhuang Hao was deeply impressed by Chen Xiaobei’s response. To him, his grandpa was really an elite that had seen all kind of things throughout this life! An ordinary person would have been petrified when they all these valuable resources.
“Grandpa. Thank you for the compliment.” Instead of boasting about the things in the vault, he said it in an honest manner.
“Most of the things in the vault are passed down by our generations of ancestors. A small portion of it is given by different factions during the Lunar New Year.”
“Alright. Let’s go and pick the medical ingredients that we need.”
Though Chen Xiaobei might look calm from the outside, he was actually feeling ecstatic deep inside his heart.
‘The resources that is being kept inside this vault is more than I expected! I will be able to make my family and friends become even more powerful if I can take possession of everything here! I can even use them to grow an ultra-powerful faction!’
When Chen Xiaobei was walking toward the section that stored medical ingredients, he saw a huge metal safe along the way. If his guess was right, there should be tons of Spiritual Stones and a small portion of special items placed inside it.
Needless to say, Chen Xiaobei would claim all of them sooner or later. However, this was not the time yet. Zhuang, Yap, and Liu were plotting something against him. Knowing that he just gained full trust from Zhuang Lao Taijun, he had to fully utilize this trust to work something toward his advantage. Before Chen Xiaobei knew what were the three most powerful families had in their mind, he would never do anything to the vault.
When they arrived at the medical ingredients section, Chen Xiaobei acted and mighty. All he ever did was used his finger to point at the medical ingredients that he needed and Zhuang Hao would collect them for him. Throughout the whole process, Chen Xiaobei did not even lay his hands on anything.
As for Zhuang Hao, he did not even say anything about it. He just did whatever Chen Xiaobei asked him to do. In his heart, his respect toward Chen Xiaobei had grown – making him lower his guard completely.
‘Just take a look at my grandpa! Not only his healing skill is extremely skillful, his character is beyond perfect! All the valuable treasure are just lying in front of him but he does not even have the slightest desire to go and lay his hands on them! People like this is definitely worthy of my trust and respect!’
With that thought in mind, Zhuang Hao was going to compliment him in front of Zhuang Lao Taijun later. On the contrary, Chen Xiaobei was actually thinking something that Zhuang Hao could never imagine.
‘Sooner or later, I will come and take possession of all the items here! I’m just letting you guys take care of it temporarily for me!’
The day Chen Xiaobei took everything from the vault, Zhuang Family would definitely put on a great show.
“Zhang Hao! Is there any ventilation in this vault? The medical ingredients that I just took must be placed at someplace with good airflow!”
“Grandpa! Thank you so much for reminding me! There are around ten ventilation fans in this vault! All of them are connected to the central air conditioning of the Zhuang Mansion! Not only is the air flow here good, but we can also even adjust the temperature!”
“Okay. That sounds good to me. Since we are here, I think we should take the medical ingredients for the transplant surgery as well!”
“Great! Sorry for the trouble!”
“Hold on first. Let me check on something!” said Chen Xiaobei.
He then took out his cell phone and sent a private message to Jiang Ziya.
Chen Xiaobei: Shixiong Jiang! It’s me again! I would like to have a piece of Divine Ear Talisman! Send it to me now!
Jiang Ziya: Brother! Please don’t do this to me again!
Chen Xiaobei: Cut the crap! Divine Ear Talisman is nothing to you! Send it to me now!
Jiang Ziya: It’s true that Divine Ear Talisman is just a very common item! However, this is now a special phase for the heavenly realm! I will be so dead if someone found out about it!
Chen Xiaobei: What do you mean by special phase? Don’t you think I will know when you try to set a trap for me?! Talk crap again and I will turn you into a pile of dead meat!
Jiang Ziya: Alright! Alright! Alright! I will send it to you right now… Please, just don’t let the Primordial Lord of Heaven find out about it… If not, I will be doomed.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You just snatched a Red Envelope from Jiang Ziya! You have received a Divine Ear Talisman and it has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
“Zhuang Hao! Please get me ten bottles of Caterpillar Fungus! Pick properly! Remember to choose the best ones!”
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei took out the Divine Ear Talisman while Zhuang Hao went and took the Caterpillar Fungus. With his sheer will, the talisman started to burn and something magical happened to Chen Xiaobei’s hearing. In a radius of a hundred miles, Chen Xiaobei could hear everything single thing – that include Zhuang Hao’s heartbeat and breathing sound. The sound of air flow in ten vents was heard clearly as well. And the best part was Chen Xiaobei could focus his hearing in one direction! Other noises would not be able to distract him.
“This is it!”
Soon, Chen Xiaobei found the vent with the voice of people talking coming from it. With more focus, he could hear them talking perfectly well.
“Now, we should really put our trust into each other! If we fail to do so, we might as well leave this place and not waste each other time! What do you guys think about that?” asked Zhuang Lao Taijun.
“Alright! Tell us, what can we do to kill that son of a bitch, Chen Xiaobei?” asked Yap Jianming and Liu Xiyuan.
