Chapter 485: Chapter 458 The Glorious Apollo Family

Wang Qianqian’s smile bloomed like a flower, and her eyes rippled like water, making Li Chen’s heart ache even more.

Qianqian, I will definitely bring back the Void Flower for you.

"Brother Cheen, you also need to be careful about your own safety over there. Don’t worry too much about me, I’m fine!" Wang Qianqian weakly smiled as if she were a wife instructing her husband who was leaving home, her tenderness flowing like water.

"Hmm..."

Li Chen nodded.

"Qianqian..."

Suddenly, the video on the other side showed Wang Qianqian’s eyes losing their color as she collapsed onto the hospital bed, causing Li Chen to feel anxious.

"Doctor, doctor..."

Father Wang was frantic. He had been at her side the whole time and quickly went out to call for someone.

Wang Qianqian’s primary doctor arrived and after a thorough examination, finally came to a conclusion.

"It’s nothing serious, just a sudden fainting spell due to physical weakness. The patient needs plenty of rest. However, her condition has been deteriorating, you should still prepare yourselves mentally..."

Father Wang’s face turned bitter as he looked at his daughter, his eyes no longer able to hide his tears.

The video was in chaos, and at this time, Father Wang clearly couldn’t pay attention to Li Chen. Fortunately, Wang Qianqian was alright, so Li Chen could feel relieved.

Li Chen closed his laptop, his eyes flashing with a cold sharpness.

Wang Qianqian’s condition was getting worse, and heaven knows how long she could hold on. The Void Flower—he needed to hurry!

"Qianqian, you must wait for me! The Void Flower... I will definitely bring it back!"

The next day, the morning sunlight was just right.

After Li Chen finished breakfast at the hotel, his phone rang just in time.

"Servant of the King of the Netherworld!"

"Master, the location of the Void Flower has been found! It’s the Apollo Family..."

"The Apollo Family?", after a long time, Li Chen put down the phone, a cold light flashing in his eyes. How coincidental, he hadn’t expected to encounter this family again, truly persistent as a haunting ghost!

Last time, in the relic, that Main God Ranking expert ’Apollo’ was personally killed by Li Chen’s grandfather! And now, it turned out to be them who opposed him and took away the Void Flower.

Li Chen left the hotel and casually hailed a car. After giving the driver the directions to the Apollo Manor, he made another phone call.

"Servant of the King of the Netherworld!"

"Master, what are your orders!"

On the other end of the phone, a respectful voice came through.

"Bring people to the Apollo Manor and meet up with me..."

"Understood!"

...

Apollo Manor, nestled within a man-made mountain range, flanked by peaks nearly two thousand meters tall. Amidst the lush green forests, pavilions stood in great numbers, presenting a scene of ethereal beauty amid nature.

To build such a manor in the prohibitively expensive city of London spoke volumes of the Apollo Family’s financial strength, clearly rivaling those of the world’s forefront financial conglomerates. The ancient household, with a heritage of several hundred to a thousand years, had a depth of resources that was quite evident.

In the midst of those mountains, on a neat mountain path, a splendid carriage stopped at the entrance of the Apollo Family’s manor.

Two young men descended from the carriage, one with a head of golden hair and emerald green eyes that were as profound as the starry sky at night, exuding an indescribable noble aura. Clearly, he was a traditional noble who had been subject to various etiquette teachings from a young age.

Standing next to the golden-haired youth was another young man, appearing slightly restrained, evidently harboring a sense of awe for the grounds beneath his feet. If Ding Xiaoke were here, she would definitely roll her eyes and turn to leave.

This person was none other than Adam, whom Ding Xiaoke found extremely loathsome.

"Oh... alright! Adam, there’s no need to be so formal on your first visit to the Apollo Family. Come on, let me show you all the things in the manor that represent the glory of my family!"

The golden-haired young man smiled at Adam, somewhat affable, but his arrogant demeanor towards Adam couldn’t completely be hidden. This was one of Great Britain’s most powerful families—the Apollo!

As a scion of the Apollo Family, he naturally had the right to be proud.

They walked side by side, and the coachman had already driven the carriage back.

"See that stele? That was made over five hundred years ago when a warrior of our family, ’Will* Apollo,’ saved the emperor of the British Empire during the English-French wars. In gratitude for the Apollo Family’s service, the emperor personally ordered it created and inscribed it himself. Will, he is the pride of our Apollo Family, his strength extraordinary. If he were around today, haha! He would certainly be at the peak standard of the entire world..."

"And over there, see the great sword embedded in that boulder? That was obtained fifty years ago by one of our family’s elders who tore his opponent apart and won it as spoils of war! Ho, that sword is something else, blessed by the Roman Pope himself, forged by Europe’s most famous swordmaster, named the ’Sword of Damocles’..."

The Apollo Family’s heritage spanned hundreds of years, rich in history. Along the way, the golden-haired youth introduced various objects in the family to Adam, each representing a facet of the Apollo’s past splendor!

Adam was filled with reverence, honored to have the chance to witness such a sacred and powerful family.

"Mike! Your family is indeed one of the strongest in Great Britain, with such a powerful foundation, no wonder it wields control over a third of Britain’s economic lifelines...", Adam said with sincere flattery.

"Ha ha! Naturally!", laughed the young man named Mike, his golden locks fluttering in the wind.

"We, the Apollo Family, can control half of Great Britain’s economy and even play a dominant role in the entire world’s economic system... However, in my view, our family’s greatest strength does not lie there!"

"Oh?" Adam looked puzzled.

Mike’s eyes betrayed a hint of pride, and he was very pleased with Adam’s confusion, nonchalantly wiggling his index finger before saying, "The Apollo Family has a heritage of nearly a thousand years and has always been a family that venerates martial force. Our ancestors managed to build such a powerful family because they followed the emperor in his campaigns and established innumerable merits! The Apollo Family is the very best at martial prowess in all of Britain, even in Europe..."

...

Amidst the mountain and waterscape, a taxi came to a slow stop next to Apollo Manor; Li Chen got out of the car and surveyed the entire manor, his eyes brimming with coldness. In his eyes, this family was like a loathsome insect—if they did not hand over the Void Flower, then he would simply crush them with ease!

Almost simultaneously, several black cars arrived, parking next to where Li Chen stood.

"Master!"

A group of people alighted from the cars—it was Li Chen’s subordinates.

"Let’s go! Perhaps... today we shall cleanse the Apollo Family with blood!"

Li Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile as he led his people into Apollo Manor.

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass..." At the manor’s entrance, a guard scolded in English, only to be sent flying with a kick by one of Li Chen’s men.

The group stormed into the manor, making their way up the mountain path.

"Whoo-whoo..."

"Someone’s trespassing on the manor!"

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the manor. A large crowd surged out from all around, rushing towards Li Chen and the others.

"Mike, what’s going on?"

Adam wore a puzzled expression as the shrill alarm echoed through the entire manor, obviously catching their attention.

"Not sure! That alarm only goes off when there’s an invasion! Someone really has the nerve to run wild in our Apollo Family’s territory! Nonsense... truly courting death!" Mike’s expression soured, as anyone boasting about their family’s glorious past would not enjoy such an interruption.

"Come on! Let’s go see how that person meets his end..."

Mike gestured to Adam, and the two of them headed down the mountain path. Because they were the closest, they were the first to reach the manor’s entrance.

On the mountain path, Li Chen wore a stern expression and marched forward without uttering a word. Any of the manor’s guards who tried to stop them were intercepted and defeated by his men, with none able to stand in their way.

"What! It’s him..."

Adam exclaimed, his gaze falling upon Li Chen in the crowd; seeing Li Chen was the leader of the group, he was shocked and speechless.

"What? You know him?" Mike turned around.

"Hmph! An enemy. I’ve been pursuing a girl for a long time and should have succeeded by now. It was this guy who intervened and spoiled my chances..." A flash of hatred crossed Adam’s eyes.

"Is that so? Then that’s quite the coincidence. Don’t worry, anyone who dares to trespass on our Apollo Family’s territory is asking for death. Later on, I might make some arrangements to let you have a little ’care’ over him..." Mike chuckled lightly, seeming casual as if Li Chen was already his prisoner.

"I’d really appreciate that! But it seems those bodyguards in the manor are not their match..." Adam said, puzzled.

"Ha! Those people are merely servants and servants of the manor; how could they be considered bodyguards? The real masters of the family haven’t shown up yet! Just wait... when the real masters come out, they will undoubtedly annihilate that bunch of ignorant fools!"

Mike exaggeratedly gestured a throat-slitting motion, full of disdain.

"Who dares to trespass on the Apollo Family’s territory?"

Suddenly, from the depths of the manor, a loud shout echoed; two muscular men came charging at full speed, glaring furiously.

"See! The family’s masters have moved..." Mike patted Adam’s shoulder, excitedly pointing at the two men.

"Those clueless idiots will definitely be killed in seconds!"

Seeing Mike full of confidence, Adam couldn’t help but be influenced. Although he knew of Li Chen’s formidable strength, the Apollo Family was one of the most powerful families in Great Britain! In such a place, what could Li Chen possibly stir up?

The two muscular men moved incredibly quickly, nearly turning into afterimages, their might astounding.

Li Chen’s eyes narrowed; the Apollo Family did have some strength after all. These two muscular men probably had the powers ranking in the top tier of the Earth Rankings; such individuals were truly coveted assets that any force would scramble to recruit! Centuries-old family, indeed, it had its own inheritance and depth!

In front of Li Chen, his subordinates stood with grave expressions, blocking his way.

"Stand back! You are no match for these two!" Li Chen waved them off. While the peak Earth Ranking fighters did not concern him, a real fight with his subordinates might cause unnecessary losses. It was better for him to act quickly and decisively.

"So, you are the ones who trespassed on the Apollo Family? You’re seeking death!"

The two muscular men halted in front of the crowd, their eyes brimming with murderous intent, and suddenly, with a swift motion, they threw a punch towards them.

Operating on the principle of capturing the king first, they both targeted Li Chen without any prior consultation.

"Adam, it seems you won’t get a chance to ’take care’ of your rival after all! Those two are masters in our family, each punch capable of killing a tiger, and with both striking simultaneously, your rival might just be turned into a bloody pulp..." Mike’s face revealed a trace of mockery.

"Bang! Boom boom..."

Suddenly, a series of dull, heavy sounds erupted, followed by the sight of two figures being sent flying backward, blood spraying through the air.

"Uh..." Mike and Adam were left gaping, as if someone had clutched their throats, too shocked to speak.
