Joselito looked at the golden-haired woman. She did not seem to be joking at all. He took a deep breath and said, "Fine, it was wrong of me to do that, but didn't you tell me that your Alvin League has the power to dominate the world? Why would you still fear that successor of Lu... Immortal Lu?"
For fear of saying the wrong thing, Joselito quickly corrected himself.
The blonde woman sneered, "We aren't afraid of him. We just don't want other problems to appear when things could be carried out smoothly, but being the idiot that you are, you attacked ordinary men today, and now news of it has been spread around in Section Nine. Three days later, various forces will gather in Yinzhou City. You are the first person who dared to break the rules in broad daylight. This time, you won't have it easy. It would all depend on whether that old thing of your family would be able to protect you!"
Joselito said gravely, "If I don't live a good life, that old thing would be too ashamed to live. What he is today is all thanks to our Yang Clan!"
The blonde woman said indifferently, "I don't care what you do. Just remember, don't you ever spoil our plans. Otherwise, you will regret it painfully!"
The golden- haired woman looked at Joselito sternly and then left the villa.
In the city of Yinzhou, Henry and Sylvia walked side by side, enjoying their time of quiet and peace. It was summer, the flowers were in full bloom in their neighbourhood, and the man-made streams gurgled softly. The sound of the flowing water was pleasing to the ear, creating a very relaxing atmosphere.
The both of them walked shoulder-to-shoulder all the way home, chatting happily along the way.
At the courtyard of the villa, Henry pushed open the gate for Sylvia to enter. "Darling, you go have a rest first. I still have something to deal with."
Sylvia paused for a moment before she promptly nodded her head. She did not say anything as she walked into the courtyard.
After watching Sylvia enter the house, Henry shut the gate and spoke without looking behind his back, "You two have been trailing us for quite a while now, what is it you want?"
"Haha." A chuckle sounded behind Henry. They were a young couple, and had followed behind Henry for the whole of their evening. This couple looked very ordinary, not raising any suspicions.
The lady of the couple looked at Henry. "My Lord, you seem to have forgotten something recently."
The man also spoke. "That unearthed item from Loulan, hasn't that been in your possession for too long now, My Lord?"
Henry looked at the couple before him with a puzzled expression. "How curious, how does the claws of the Alvin League find itself in Yan Xia so easily? Does Section Nine care at all?"
"Section Nine?" The man shook his head. "Now that the two heritages of Yan Xia have been unearthed, Section Nine now has too much on their hands. My Lord, you may now hand over the item you took from Loulan."
Henry smiled and took out a broken sword, and waved it in their faces. "Are you talking about this?"
A couple looked greedily at the object in Henry's hands.
Henry put away the broken sword backhandedly and said with a smile, "However, why should I hand it to you?"
The facial expression of the couple changed.
The man said, "My Lord, this item was uncovered in Loulan. You went there and took it from us. The Alvin League was kind enough to let you hold on to it for a while more, but that doesn't make it yours to keep. Do you understand?" "That's right," the lady said as she slowly took two steps toward Henry. "It's just temporarily in your possession. It doesn't belong to you. It belongs to the successor of the Loulan. How would it be different from a robbery now that you've just claimed it as your own?"
"My lord, it's about time to hand it over to us." The man also took a step forward, and the two seemed to have blocked Henry here.
Henry shook his head and said, "No."
"Are you sure?" The couple exchange glimpses at each other.
"I'm not handing it to you." Henry nodded.
