Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 265: Chapter 160: Chaos in Linzhou! Su Ping’s ’Second Grandpa’!_3

Qin Chuan’s eyes lit up, a hint of ambition flashing through them. ”If that’s the case, then that’s great! Thank you, Breeder Mu. Come, let me toast you!”

Qin Chuan, clearly very excited, picked up his glass. Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Qin Chuan was taken aback. He glanced at his phone in surprise, his brows slightly furrowed. ”Excuse me, gentlemen, I need to step out for a moment.”

The private room quickly fell silent.

Mu Yu glanced at Chris, then at Harman, frowning slightly. He waved his hand, and a Spirit Barrier once again isolated Chris. Only then did Mu Yu speak, ”Harman, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

Harman nodded. ”I’ve already investigated. That Breeder Su’s background isn’t ordinary, but he’s ultimately just an elite Breeder. And the Secret Realm Qin Chuan mentioned is indeed within Su Ping’s breeding base.”

Mu Yu smiled. ”I really didn’t expect this—to stumble upon it so effortlessly after fearing a long search! I thought it would take ages to find, but it turned out to be authentic! Has the task Lord Charles assigned us truly been accomplished so easily?”

Harman, clearly not as relaxed as Mu Yu, furrowed his brow slightly. ”Lord Mu,” he said, ”Su Ping has an extraordinary background, and he seems to have some connection to Qin Chuan’s father. If this gets out, it won’t be easy for us to escape, and even Qin Chuan might be displeased...”

Mu Yu glanced sideways at him. ”Firstly, as long as this is accomplished, nothing else matters. Secondly, Qin Chuan won’t fall out with me. He’s desperate to join Heart of Gold, and I’m the only one who can put in a good word for him. And lastly, as long as it isn’t exposed, everything will be fine!”

As he spoke, a thought crossed Mu Yu’s mind, and a black, spherical object appeared in his hand. The sphere was adorned with colorful patterns, and something seemed to be writhing inside. ”This is a Soul Parasite egg,” Mu Yu said. ”Eat it. I have Lord Charles’s Soul Power projection on me, so even if they trace it back to me, it won’t be a big deal. But it’s different for you! Once you consume this, the Soul Parasite will devour everything that has happened from your soul. They won’t be able to get anything out of you, even with spirit or soul-type abilities!”

Harman glanced at the object in horror. But, meeting Mu Yu’s indifferent gaze, he ultimately swallowed it whole without a second thought. In less than three seconds, Harman’s eyes turned pitch black, devoid of any light. However, they soon returned to normal, and he looked around, dazed.

Meanwhile, Qin Chuan, who had just stepped out, answered his phone, his voice tinged with displeasure. ”Dad, what’s wrong?”

”Where are you right now?” Qin Erlong’s voice came through the phone, calmer than Qin Chuan had ever heard it.

Qin Chuan, however, wasn’t concerned. He laughed and said, ”Didn’t I tell you? Mu Yu isn’t staying long, so I just came to have a drink with him.”

”Come back to me. Right now.”

”Dad, what happened?!”

”...”

After a pause, Qin Erlong’s voice finally came through, slow and deliberate. ”Come back first; we’ll talk when you’re here. Something might happen this time. In short, come back quickly. Also, your mother is right. You should stop contacting people from Eagle Country. The association isn’t good.”

The call ended.

Qin Chuan stood blankly before the private room door. What on earth is going on? He clearly respected his father a great deal, but he still had to say goodbye before leaving.

However, just as he was about to turn back into the private room, the nearby elevator doors opened. Several figures stepped out, approaching the astonished Qin Chuan.

Hadn’t he booked this entire fifty-eighth floor of the ’Wood Prime’ Hotel? Who are these people?

Soon, Qin Chuan’s expression changed. The man in the lead was dressed ordinarily, but the figures behind him exuded a stern aura. More terrifying still, several of those following wore Legion uniforms.

”Excuse me, sir,” the man began, ”are Mu Yu, Harman Colin, and Chris Burrell here?”

Qin Chuan nodded, then reflexively frowned and asked, ”Who are you?”
