Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 110: Chapter 109: The Hunter’s Thirst for Blood (Part 9)_1

“`

I have to say, Yuan Shan that woman is quite strong!

At least, her skill with those black stripes is pretty effective against someone like me who relies on physical abilities.

If it hadn’t been for the Mythical Form, breaking free would have been quite a challenge.

Having escaped the encirclement, Fu Qian ran wildly, his mind racing.

No matter how you look at it, today’s plan to stir up trouble exceeded expectations.

...
Not only did I manage to infiltrate the restricted area, but I even had a direct confrontation with the boss of the Capital Night Watchman.

The Mythical Form skill is simply terrifying, if it weren’t for its enhancement, the move I pulled off earlier would have had unimaginable consequences.

Now, other than feeling a bit weakened from the overexertion, there are no other anomalies in my condition.

Of course, that move might have exposed me as not the real Henrik, but that’s not a problem at all.

Just the fact that “someone tried to secretly infiltrate the Night Watchmen Base” is enough.

It might even be better if they think Henrik has accomplices because of the disturbance we caused.

Now, it’s time to wait and see how things unfold, how everyone reacts.

…

As it turned out, changes occurred faster than I had anticipated.

The next morning, Fu Qian received a visitor.

It’s not who I expected, why did this person come to find me?

Looking at Wen Li knocking on the door downstairs, Fu Qian was puzzled.

True, I did give Wen Li the bookstore’s address when we parted ways yesterday.

But with her intellect, she should have understood that I was not welcoming visitors.

So why show up the very next day?

Fu Qian had a sneaking suspicion and got up to go downstairs.

After getting away yesterday, considering that Fang Xun’s name was already known to the Night Watchmen, he decided it would be best to return to the bookstore to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

This building had a typical layout with a store on the first floor and living quarters on the second; the previous incident had not had as much impact as one might think.

And the Night Watchmen’s efficiency is commendable.

By the time I returned yesterday, Qin Feng’s body had already been removed, and the place had been cleaned up.

The site now, except for being empty, didn’t present any restricted scenes.

“Mr. Fu!”

Seeing Fu Qian coming downstairs, Wen Li’s eyes lit up.

“I thought I got the wrong place.”

You might as well say you doubted I gave you a fake address.

With an impassive face, Fu Qian opened the door, gesturing her to come in and talk.

Stepping inside, Wen Li looked around and her expression immediately turned odd.

“Your store… Did it have a gas explosion?”

“You’re overthinking it, yesterday a Night Watchman just had his head explode here, that’s all.”

Fu Qian answered casually as he led her upstairs.

!!

Upon hearing this, Wen Li shuddered, her face turning pale.

She looked up carefully at Fu Qian.

“You… You killed a Night Watchman?”

Where did your thoughts go! Do I give off such a brutal impression?

Fu Qian was quite displeased with Wen Li.

“No.”

Ah!

Seeing Fu Qian’s expression, Wen Li instantly realized her mistake and covered her mouth in shock.

“Head explosion! I got it, just like at the banquet!”

“You encountered that Henrik yesterday? No wonder you reacted so quickly!”

The actual situation is much more complicated than that!

“You came to see me about something?”

Without further elaboration, Fu Qian led Wen Li upstairs and got straight to the point as soon as the door was closed.

“It’s not actually anything particularly important.”

“`

Wen Li hesitated slightly, then began to speak.

“I heard some rumors earlier that have something to do with the incident at the banquet yesterday…”

Oh?

Fu Qian instantly became spirited.

“Let’s hear it.”

“That Henrik, the reason he appeared at the banquet was because of a reason…

It’s said that he was originally a warehouse guard for the Night Watchman, but over the years, he was influenced by the aura of Transcendent materials, and his mind gradually became twisted.

In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation, stole a crucial material, and fled. Unexpectedly, he lost his sanity and became bloodthirsty, continuously hunting Transcendents, and his targets were invariably those with mental powers.”

So that’s why he showed up at Houhai Manor, because the Chen Family is a rare family that cultivates mental-type skills.”

I see!

Fu Qian recalled the feeling of restricted movement he had yesterday.
