Chapter 1032: You Shouldn't Have Touched These Things

"Qiangzi, I have high hopes for your abilities, but this time, you have truly disappointed me." Mr. Xu brushed the dust off his body and said, "You may not know what the things we lost are, but these things are not as simple as just money."

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry." Zhang Qiang lowered his head in some trepidation; although his master was a Wizard in the largest village nearby, he still felt some fear toward this Mr. Xu.

"You go; this matter had nothing to do with you in the first place." Mr. Xu said indifferently, "Go do what you are supposed to do; I will handle things here."

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Zhang Qiang nodded, and he hurriedly bowed and retreated; even he was unwilling to have too much eye contact with this Mr. Xu.

After Zhang Qiang left, Mr. Xu turned his gaze to Zhou Lao in the room. Zhou Lao had a look of panic on his face, and he cried out in terror: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I will go find him, I will get the things back."

"You?" Mr. Xu grinned: "No, that won't be necessary. Sometimes a person only gets one chance. Xiao Zhou, this time you touched things you shouldn't have touched, so I must issue a punishment."

"Mr. Xu, please spare me, I won't dare to do it again, I really didn't mean it this time." Zhou Lao began to wail; he fell to his knees on the floor with a thud, begging bitterly.

Mr. Xu waved his hand slightly, no longer giving him a chance.

Two men in the room grabbed Zhou Lao and walked out. They dragged Zhou Lao to a private courtyard behind the temple, where they saw a pool filled with crocodiles.

Zhou Lao screamed and struggled desperately. He suddenly broke free from the two men holding his arms and scrambled toward the edge of the pool, but he was quickly grabbed and brought back.

These men were expressionless; they dragged him to the edge of the crocodile pool and then threw him in with a thud.

The crocodiles in the pool instantly boiled over. Five or six crocodiles bit down desperately. A scream rang out, and Zhou Lao's life ended right there.

After a flurry of thrashing, the crocodile pool became clean again, with only a pool of bright red blood slowly dissipating.

On the other side, Mr. Xu took out a string of Buddhist Beads and counted them continuously in his hand. He sat down slowly and said indifferently: "Has it been found out?"

"Reporting to Mr. Xu, it has been found out. He is from out of town, having come here from Shengjing to collect some traditional Chinese medicine. His surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Yu." A man replied cautiously.

"Heh, do you really think the other party is just someone who deals in traditional Chinese medicine?" Mr. Xu laughed: "He is Chen Yu. Perhaps you don't know what this name represents in Shengjing."

"It is our fault for not investigating clearly." A subordinate said with some trepidation: "I will definitely go and investigate again."

"No need." Mr. Xu shook his head: "Just monitor his movements and see what exactly he wants to do."

"Yes, Mr. Xu. Then the things... do we need to recover them?" A subordinate asked cautiously.

"Heh, recover them? Of course we must recover them. These things cannot be measured by money. You all send people to keep a close watch on him; you must not let him disappear inexplicably." Mr. Xu stood up and said indifferently.

"Yes, Mr. Xu." Several people nodded heavily, then turned and left.

Mr. Xu also got up and left this place.

On the outskirts of Ji City, in a villa where the lake and mountains meet, Mr. Xu stood in the living room. His usually arrogant head was slightly bowed in a respectful manner.

If anyone were to see the famous Mr. Xu like this, they would surely be astonished, because Mr. Xu is a taboo and a legend here in Ji City. Who could possibly be the person he treats with such respect?

"So you mean, those things are now with Chen Yu?" A girl sat in the villa; this girl was none other than Tang Xue, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

"Yes. I could have gone directly to seize those things, but since Miss Tang gave orders not to act without authorization, I sent people to watch him and have not taken any further action." Mr. Xu said respectfully.

"You are quite obedient." Tang Xue closed the makeup mirror in her hand and smiled faintly: "Not bad. By the side of the God Lord, what is needed is someone like you."

"Miss Tang, I wish to serve the God Lord just like you. I have no other strengths, but I am obedient. If there is an opportunity, please be sure to introduce me to the God Lord." Mr. Xu said cautiously.

"Giggle, that goes without saying. Mr. Xu, the pursuit of the God Lord is not something ordinary people can understand." Tang Xue stood up and said indifferently: "He wants to build a brand-new world, and he possesses the most advanced genetic technology in this world, which can significantly increase your lifespan."

"What the God Lord wants is your loyalty. As long as you pledge your loyalty to him, you will become a citizen of that kingdom."

"I am willing to dedicate everything I have to the God Lord." Mr. Xu's expression was excited: "I am willing to become a first-generation citizen of the Eternal Kingdom."

"Good, but you also know that building a kingdom is an extremely grand and magnificent plan that requires many resources. Now is the time for you to show your worth." Tang Xue said.

"I have already dedicated one-third of my family's assets, and whatever Miss Tang needs, I will exhaust all my connections to find it for you." Mr. Xu said excitedly: "I will definitely show my loyalty and sincerity to the God Lord."

"Not bad." Tang Xue nodded with satisfaction: "But Mr. Xu, the things Chen Yu took from your hands are not ordinary things. I am searching for all kinds of rare treasures in Huaxia for the God Lord, and those things are indispensable. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, Miss Tang. Don't worry, in Ji City, even if Chen Yu grows wings, he won't be able to escape. I will have people take action now to seize those things back." Mr. Xu was impatient to show his loyalty to Tang Xue; he bowed deeply and then cautiously retreated.

After retreating, Mr. Xu's face was filled with fanaticism. He had been completely brainwashed by Tang Xue, and he believed that the Eternal Kingdom currently under construction would surely bring him the opportunity for eternal life.

After going out, he roared: "Take everyone and go find Chen Yu, immediately."

Watching dozens of cars roar away from the parking lot outside the villa, a cold sneer appeared on Tang Xue's face.

Chen Yu and Zhang Yanxi changed to a different hotel. Just after finishing the check-in and preparing to leave, Lili followed them from the entrance again.

"Yanxi." Lili called out to Zhang Yanxi.

"Lili, why are you here?" Zhang Yanxi was startled. Lili had already broken ties with her before; she didn't know why she had come running over now.
