Chapter 270

He wasn't that rigid.

Moreover…

He wasn't even a true navy officer!

No one could control him.

Since he wasn't even a navy officer, no one had the authority to restrain his actions.

Precisely because of this, Lu En accepted King Rosed IV's gift of thanks without the slightest hesitation, feeling no pressure or burden throughout.

"Gentlemen, please!"

Upon hearing Lu En's agreement, King Rosed IV smiled even more warmly.

Next,

under King Rosed IV's guidance,

half a quarter-hour later.

Lu En and Luchi arrived smoothly at the entrance of the treasure vault King Rosed IV used to store his valuables.

It was a massive Qingtongda Sect gate.

It appeared to be forged from an extremely hard material, designed specifically to prevent outsiders from breaking in and looting its treasures.

A treasure vault naturally required countless anti-theft measures.

As the gate to the vault…

it had to be forged from the hardest material possible!

Otherwise,

wouldn't anyone be able to break it and steal the priceless treasures inside?

After all!

This was the Wang Gong treasure vault of the Rosed Kingdom!

It certainly couldn't be so easily breached by outsiders to steal anything.

"Please wait a moment."

King Rosed IV pulled out the vault's key, a golden key as thick as an arm, as if forged from pure gold.

Then,

he walked up to the door,

and turned the key to unlock the switch of the Qingtongda Sect gate ahead.

Crack!

A soft sound.

The next second,

Boom—!

The massive Qingtongda Sect gate slowly swung open on both sides, emitting a thunderous roar that shook the nearby corridor into faint tremors.

Not long after,

the gate opened.

The full interior of the vault became crystal clear before Lu En's eyes.

Golden light shimmered,

silver light gleamed,

countless rare treasures filled the sight…

All were here!

Jadeite,

gold,

jade,

luminous pearls,

diamonds, and more.

These rare treasures were the lowest-value items in the vault!

Like trash, King Rosed IV had carelessly piled them in heaps in the corners.

From this alone,

one could see just how immensely wealthy King Rosed IV was!

The treasure stored in this single vault surpassed the wealth of all other kingdoms along the Grand Line!

Upon seeing the mountain of treasure inside the vault, even Luchi, usually cold and expressionless, couldn't help but be deeply moved.

King Rosed IV's accumulated wealth was astonishing!

"Gentlemen, please don't be shy."

"Choose any one item inside at will!"

King Rosed IV wore a generous expression, gazing at the vault with pride and admiration.

This was the result of half his lifetime's efforts!

It was also his most cherished treasure.

Normally,

he wouldn't even let outsiders step inside.

Undoubtedly,

today, to win over the genius Lu En, he had made a tremendous decision.

"Then let me first thank King Roseland."

Lu En's eyes gleamed, drawn by the dazzling treasures filling the treasury.

Then,

he stepped forward without hesitation.

One step forward,

his figure slipped smoothly into the treasury ahead.

After that,

Lu En began meticulously examining the dazzling treasures all around him!

This kind of opportunity was a once-in-a-millennium chance,

rare and unrepeatable.

So,

he naturally had to choose carefully!

He could not be careless,

he must devote his full attention.
