Chapter 229: Trio of the Flame Dragon Organization_1
“Dammit, you bitch, once I get my hands free, I’ll make you kneel before me and beg!” Qin Haowen watched Xu Yixue leave with a flick of her sleeve, his face dark with anger, and muttered under his breath.
Little did he know, all of this was witnessed by Xu Fan, who had just come downstairs.
Xu Fan had originally planned to follow the buyer of the Blood Bodhi and make a deal, but seeing Qin Haowen harboring designs towards Xu Yixue, and after her refusal, spewing a string of vicious words with a ferocious face, changed his mind.
Consequently, Xu Fan’s expression darkened as well.
He had thought of making money amicably, but now Xu Fan changed his mind. He wouldn’t trade the Blood Bodhi. As soon as he left through that door, he would simply snatch it.
In the Cultivation World, Xu Fan was not known to be a benevolent character, and once he sized up Qin Haowen, he knew he was dealing with a nasty piece of work. The middle-aged Martial Artist beside him was, at best, at the level of the Qi Drawing Realm, which didn’t even compare to Xu Fan’s underling Mo Luo Dan. Taking the treasured Blood Bodhi from Qin Haowen would be as easy as taking candy from a baby, effortless.
“Young Master, what shall we do now?” Zhao Dong, following behind Xu Fan, asked uncertainly.
“You go back first. Hurry and take over the Hu Family’s power. I’ll contact you when I need you!” Xu Fan waved his hand and instructed Zhao Dong.
“Understood, Young Master!” Zhao Dong bowed to Xu Fan and turned to walk downstairs.
“Mo Luo Dan, follow the two women who were carrying the little girl just now. Remember to ensure their safety. If even a single hair from the three of them is harmed, you will answer to me!” After ensuring Zhao Dong’s task, Xu Fan assigned Mo Luo Dan his mission.
Xu Yixue was still holding her precious daughter, so Xu Fan really couldn’t rest easy. In case they ran into trouble on the way, it wouldn’t be good. Therefore, he arranged for Mo Luo Dan, who was at the peak of the Qi Drawing Realm, to secretly protect them from behind. Even if Qin Haowen wanted to act maliciously, he would have to contend with Mo Luo Dan, the peak Qi Drawing Realm Martial Artist.
After sending off his subordinates on their respective missions, Xu Fan scanned the surroundings. A small part of the crowd had begun to leave, but many others were still lingering in the main hall, seemingly waiting for the final curtain of the auction.
As for Xu Fan, he put on an unassuming face and stayed in the hall. Tonight, he was determined to get his hands on the Blood Bodhi, crucial to him, without spending a penny.
Two minutes later, Qin Haowen’s underling Zhang Qiang had paid up at the organizer’s counter. Once the organizers confirmed the receipt of payment, the auction came to a perfect close.
The final highlight, the Blood Bodhi, was personally held by Elder Wang and handed over to Qin Haowen.
Qin Haowen held the crystal box with a triumphant face, happily inspecting it from every angle until Master Chou Jiukun prompted him, bringing him back to his senses. Under Master Chou’s protection, Qin Haowen entered a room prepared by the organizers.
Xu Fan moved to a corridor on the side, released his Sea of Consciousness, and probed their situation. Having decided to take the treasure today, he wouldn’t give them a chance to escape.
Xu Fan’s Sea of Consciousness swept through the area and he was startled to discover that inside the room into which Qin Haowen and Chou Jiukun had entered, there were actually three people sitting with an imposing posture. Moreover, these three were all Martial Artists, with considerable strength at that, two at the high stages of the Qi Drawing Realm, and one at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.
Among them, the two men were masters of the Qi Drawing Realm, while the other girl boasted the strength of the pinnacle of the Body Tempering Realm.
All three of them had a golden badge hanging on their chests. The badge featured a ring of miniature flames with a voracious dragon engraved in its center, claws poised as if ready to strike.
This badge was the exclusive emblem of an elite organization within Yan Country that dealt with special events—the Flame Dragon Organization. Anyone who wore this badge commanded respect wherever they went. Even other Martial Artists, who were considered almost divine among ordinary people, had to bow their noble heads in the presence of members of the Flame Dragon Organization.
Upon entering the room, Chou Jiukun, who followed beside Qin Haowen, immediately noticed the three individuals donning the badges of the Flame Dragon Organization. Without the slightest hesitation, Chou Jiukun bowed slightly and said, “May I know what brings the esteemed Flame Dragon Organization to grace us with your presence?”
“We are members of the Zhonghai branch’s third team of the Flame Dragon Organization. I am called Fei Ying, this muscular man is Jin Gang, and she is Xiao Bai. Today, our special mission is to escort the auction item you have acquired to the Qin Family villa,” said the leader of the trio, formulating his words to Chou Jiukun while introducing his two comrades.
“Oh? So, you’re basically bodyguards, right?” Qin Haowen said nonchalantly.
Before he could finish, Chou Jiukun covered his mouth with his hand.
“Young Master, the Flame Dragon Organization is the most formidable institution in Yan Country, and even I hold it in high regard. Please be careful with your words!” Chou Jiukun whispered into Qin Haowen’s ear.
At that moment, Qin Haowen’s phone rang. The caller was his older brother, the eldest young master of the Qin Family, Qin Haowu.
“Hello, Haowen, you’ve won the bid for the item, haven’t you? I’ve already made arrangements with the Flame Dragon Organization beforehand. They must escort you home on this journey. The Blood Bodhi is too precious, and we cannot afford a single misstep on the road. You must listen to the Flame Dragon Organization and ensure the treasure is safely brought back to our home. If there is any problem, you won’t have to bother with the Qin Family anymore!” Qin Haowu’s stern voice came through the phone.
Qin Haowen had never heard his older brother speak to him in such a grave tone before. Hearing Qin Haowu’s serious voice, he couldn’t help but become nervous and said timidly, “Brother, why did you arrange such formidable bodyguards? Could there be an accident on the way? Could I be in danger?”
On the other end of the phone, Qin Haowu sighed at his good-for-nothing younger brother’s cowardice within mere seconds.
However, he still needed him to safely deliver the Blood Bodhi home, so he spoke consolingly, “Don’t worry, I’m just being cautious. After all, with the substantial amount of funds the family has spent, we owe them an explanation. With the Flame Dragon Organization present, you will definitely be safe. If you can successfully escort the Blood Bodhi back to the family, I’ll speak to our father about letting you take charge of one of the family’s branch companies and become the CEO!” Qin Haowu promised confidently.
“Damn, that’s settled then. I will definitely ensure the safe delivery of the Blood Bodhi to the family!” Upon hearing that he could take over the family business, Qin Haowen’s face lit up with joy.
In the family, he was no more than a rich second generation—although he had plenty of pocket money, he had no way of getting involved in the core businesses.
If he could handle this task well and take over a branch company of the family, then he could truly become an entrepreneur, no longer having to wear the label of a wealthy second-generation heir.
