Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Vampires? Those are great medicinal materials!

"There are indeed things stored behind this, but these things are too important to me!"

Mr. Jiang had never expected that Lin Fan would actually discover the secret chamber within the secret chamber.

Mr. Jiang’s complexion changed dramatically.

"Since it’s inconvenient, let’s drop it, but you should come to this room less often in the future, after all, there are no walls without chinks, and I’m certain that it’s something in here that’s caused you ten years of suffering."

Lin Fan wasn’t too insistent, after all, whatever was locked in this secret chamber within a secret chamber.

Must indeed be something extremely important.

But through his eyes, he could see a faint trace of Demon Qi seeping out from there.

That’s how he easily discovered the mechanism inside.

"It’s not a matter of inconvenience, it’s... of great importance."

Mr. Jiang, with his eyebrows knitted, turned his head to look at Lu Feifei.

"Phoenix, you take Qi Qi and Zhi Rou up to the living room to wait for me, Lin and I have something to discuss!"

"Okay, godfather!"

The three women naturally did not linger and exited directly.

Until there were only two people left in the grand secret chamber.

Mr. Jiang then finally explained the whole affair.

"Brother Lin, I won’t keep anything from you, what’s hidden behind here is not a national treasure, but a foreign object. This matter is very complicated. If I were to explain it fully, it would take no less than three days, I can only give you a rough idea for now."

Mr. Jiang leaned back in his chair.

When he recalled this matter, his expression was still tensed and fearful.

"Twenty years ago, I discovered a batch of stolen cultural relics overseas, so I wanted to redeem them. But the owner of these relics was a noble, who really wasn’t short of money, so after many years of effort, I was still unable to obtain them. Therefore, I reversed my approach and went to look for things they desired to have a bargaining chip in negotiations, but I never expected to get these!"

As Mr. Jiang touched the mechanism.

A secret door descended slowly.

Because it was a later addition to the room, there were no lights.

One could only follow the outside light and look into the not-so-large room.

"Is this Western armor?"

Lin Fan curiously observed the armor, which was of a European style.

The shield, the spear, and the armor were all covered with a thick layer of Demon Qi.

They were clearly not auspicious items.

"Correct, it is said to be the armor worn by the first generation vampire progenitor, Liam Mikaelson. If a vampire gets it, they could counter the Sword of God. It was then I realized that the family who possessed a large amount of national treasures was, in fact, a vampire family!"

"Vampire family!"

Lin Fan walked inside, curious to examine the armor.

But just then, a certain mark caught his attention.

That mark, to be exact, should be a notch.

It was on the lower left corner of the shield.

Wasn’t that the family crest left on the knife related to his own origins?

"Correct, this group has powers similar to those of Martial Cultivators plus their own financial capabilities, which have caused my treasure-hunting team great losses. To get these treasures back as a bargaining chip, twelve of the best mercenary teams perished, amounting to over eight hundred lives in the escort, only to have them returned to my hands. And upon learning their identity, I also dared not proceed with the transaction."

Mr. Jiang sighed deeply, "But the fact that I possess the first generation vampire’s armor has already been made known to them, and they have always been seeking revenge on me. Luckily, I haven’t traveled abroad in these years, so they never had a chance, but what’s truly terrifying is being watched from the shadows, never knowing when they might drain my blood completely."

The nightmare of vampires had always haunted Mr. Jiang.

But from beginning to end, he had never considered compromising.

That’s why he built another secret chamber within this secret chamber.

The purpose was to ensure that if one day the secret chamber was indeed breached by the opponent,

they would not be able to find the truly core items.

"Rest assured, vampires have long been exterminated by our ancestors, haven’t you ever heard of the passage in the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ which says, ’There are ghosts in the western ridges resembling humans, with red eyes and sharp fangs, they hide during the day and emerge at night to feast on human blood, which extends their life,’ If there really are any that slipped through the net, capturing them would definitely provide top-notch medicinal ingredients."

Lin Fan smiled as he took out the prepared water bottle.

After being blessed with the Zhu You Skill, he sprayed it onto the armor.

The thick Demon Qi that was present just a moment ago instantly disappeared without a trace.

"In my opinion, they’re just a group of martial artists who practice special cultivation techniques, so you don’t need to worry too much, just stay in the country and you’ll never have any problems. If they really dare to come in, I wouldn’t mind trying some braised vampire."

After spraying the water, Lin Fan finally stepped out.

"I’ve sealed the Demon Qi with the Zhu You Skill, it shouldn’t release any viruses for a while. As for the concerns you’re worried about, I will thoroughly investigate them."

The markings on the shield granted Lin Fan another clue in the search for his origins.

He just hadn’t expected that his ancestors could be connected to overseas matters.

Could they have been responsible for more than just domestic affairs?

That would indeed be nobly spirited.

"Then I must thank you, Lin, for your assistance to the Jiang Family this time, I will never forget it. How about I host a banquet at my house tomorrow evening? While it may not reach Miss Qi Qi’s standard of cuisine, it’s also my way of showing my heartfelt thanks."

Mr. Jiang spoke with a kind of fawning obsequiousness.

This made Lin Fan frown slightly.

"Old man, why does your smile seem a bit off?"

"Cough cough... What’s off about it? It’s perfectly normal," Mr. Jiang coughed,

demonstrating his embarrassment.

"It’s just that my daughter is coming to see me tomorrow, so I’m a bit happy, that’s all."

"Your daughter is coming?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

This sudden visit from his daughter felt somewhat strange.

"Yes, my daughter is a top socialite in Modu. Her mother was an international movie star, a three-time beauty pageant winner, an absolute superstar. She gave up her career for me, and my daughter has perfectly inherited her mother’s features. You’ll see how beautiful she is when she arrives."

As Mr. Jiang spoke, he took out his phone and brought up a photo of Jiang Yuting.

Looking at the photo featuring her tall figure and exotic facial features,

Lin Fan couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

She truly was a beauty among beauties.

"Now I can finally understand why my ancestors went on expeditions to North Mo back in the day, it wasn’t just for a bit of raisins for sure. The Loulan style, exotic charm... Hey, wait a minute, this doesn’t feel right, old man, why do I get the feeling this is a trap? You’re not planning to give me an unexpected surprise, are you?"

"Nonsense, all I want to do is show my gratitude for your kindness to the Jiang Family. My eldest son is swamped with official duties, so I’d have her and her brother give you proper thanks. You absolutely must attend, otherwise, I’d lose face," Mr. Jiang hastily denied.

Yet Lin Fan wasn’t so inclined to believe him.

After all, it felt like he had suddenly acquired quite a few potential fathers-in-law.

"Alright then, we’ll talk about tomorrow when it comes. It’s getting late, I should go."

Since they hadn’t mentioned marrying their daughter to him, naturally, Lin Fan couldn’t presume too much.

Checking his watch, it was almost time to meet with Yang Linglong.

He had to hurry and see how exactly this girlfriend planned to break up with him.
