257: Chapter 241 This Place is Not Suitable for a Long Stay_1 257: Chapter 241 This Place is Not Suitable for a Long Stay_1 Zhao Tai, upon hearing Zhao Shouren’s words, instantly felt there was some truth in them and said, “That’s true, he only has two hands, let him take what he wants, he won’t be able to carry away much.”

Then he laughed, looked at Zhao Shouren, and said, “Father, you’re the shrewd one, taking so many apprentices over there and directly emptying out the warehouse of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Association.

Even if that kid takes some stuff, we definitely won’t be at a loss.”

Zhao Shouren nodded, gritted his teeth, stood up from the ground, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying, “He’s just a twenty-something-year-old kid, how much experience can he have?

The older ginger is the spicier!”

Elsewhere.

Lu Chuan arrived at the warehouse of the Tiannan Martial Arts Association.

Seeing the dazzling array of herbs, rare materials, elixir pills, gemstones, and other items inside, Lu Chuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“The resources here are simply seven or eight times that of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Association, compared to Tiannan, our place is really poor.”

He scanned the entire place and quickly found the thousand-year-old tortoise shell, then breathed a sigh of relief.

“Now I’ve found all the materials for cultivating the Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, no need to trouble myself looking any further.”

“Zhao Shouren has looted our Jiangbei warehouse, I will do unto him as he did unto us and empty this place out as well.”

Thinking so, Lu Chuan directly reached out to the items in the warehouse, and in the blink of an eye, he collected them all into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

Although the storage space in the Demon Suppression Pagoda wasn’t infinite, it was more than enough to hold everything in the warehouse.

In a short time, Lu Chuan had packed all the items in the warehouse into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

“With so many resources, this can also serve as the capital for the rise of our Jiangbei Martial Arts Association.”

He glanced at the empty warehouse and turned to leave.

Zhao Tai saw Lu Chuan coming out of the warehouse and said, “Father, that kid is out!”

Zhao Shouren looked towards Lu Chuan, a hint of puzzlement on his face, “Strange, how come he didn’t take anything and came out like that?”

Zhao Tai also felt it was odd and said, “Could it be that the stuff in our warehouse was too heavy, and the kid found it too cumbersome to carry, so he gave up?”

Zhao Shouren said, “Do you think he looks like a fool?”

Zhao Tai shook his head and said, “That doesn’t seem likely.”

At that moment, as Lu Chuan passed by father and son, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Shouren and said, “President Zhao, thank you for the generosity, I’ll take my leave now.”

After that, he left the Tiannan Martial Arts Association.

Zhao Shouren was baffled and said, “Could it be that the kid was just talking big?”

Suddenly, Zhao Tai exclaimed, “I know!”

Zhao Shouren turned to look at him and asked, “You know what?”

Zhao Tai said, “Although that guy is powerful, even you are not his match, Father, but we have a background.

He must have suddenly become aware of our background and got scared, so he didn’t dare to take anything, which is why he turned so polite when he left.”

Zhao Shouren was about to call Zhao Tai foolish, but on second thought, he felt it was not impossible since Lu Chuan left without taking anything, which was really out of the ordinary.

“Whatever the reason, it’s good news for us that he didn’t take anything.

Let’s go check the warehouse; maybe the kid pocketed some of the smaller items.”

The two of them walked towards the warehouse together.

Zhao Tai said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Father, I saw it clearly just now.

There was nothing bulging on that guy’s body; he definitely didn’t take anything.”

Then he opened the door to the warehouse.

A desolate wind blew past.

When they saw that the entire warehouse was completely empty, father and son were simultaneously stunned.

Then, Zhao Shouren’s anguished screams tore through the sky, startling the sparrows perched on the wall.

“How is this possible!

How did he do it!

These are the resources I’ve saved for ten years!!!”

Outside the Tiannan Province Martial Arts Association.

Lu Chuan had just hailed a taxi, and as soon as he sat inside, he heard Zhao Shouren’s voice of utter desperation.

He quickly closed the door and said to the driver, “Master, to the Tiannan Grand Hotel, we shouldn’t stay here long—quickly!”

He had already called Kishimoto Haruko to report that he had finished his business.

Kishimoto Haruko said she would arrange a dinner banquet to welcome Lu Chuan at the Tiannan Grand Hotel and planned to send someone to pick him up.

Lu Chuan declined, saying he would take a taxi there by himself.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the Tiannan Grand Hotel.

Lu Chuan got out of the car and saw two lines of attendants standing at the hotel entrance.

As he approached, the rows of attendants simultaneously bowed and exclaimed, “Welcome, Mr.

Lu!”

Faced with embarrassment, Lu Chuan thought to himself that he was just here for a meal, and this level of pomp was really a bit much.

Quickly, he saw Kishimoto Haruko’s figure.

“Lu Chuan!” Kishimoto Haruko approached him with a smile.

Lu Chuan said, “I’m just here for a dinner, there’s no need for such a welcome.”

Laughing, Kishimoto Haruko said, “Grandfather said you are our benefactor, so he insisted on treating you grandiosely—he has even booked the entire Tiannan Grand Hotel just for this.”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened as he looked up at the opulent five-star hotel, thinking your grandfather really doesn’t shy away from spending; just for a meal, he’s booked an entire hotel, which truly seems overly extravagant.

“Let’s go inside quickly; Grandfather is waiting,” said Kishimoto Haruko, her eyes curving into crescents.

Lu Chuan nodded and followed her into the hotel, entering a resplendent private room.

The large round table was already filled with scrumptious dishes.

Kishimoto Naoki was standing in the private room and hurriedly came forward when he saw Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, please sit; you are my savior.

If it wasn’t for you, I would have died twice over, so today I must properly entertain you.”

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, “Mr.

Kishimoto, you are too polite.”

For some reason, his unusually keen intuition sensed something off about Kishimoto Naoki—he felt that the man before him was different from the one he knew before, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on how.

The three of them took their seats, and Kishimoto Naoki poured Lu Chuan a drink, smiling as he said, “Lu Chuan, today we must drink to our heart’s content.”

Lu Chuan smiled back and said, “Since Mr.

Kishimoto has spoken, I shall certainly keep up.”

The trio chatted and drank together.

Kishimoto Naoki kept offering drinks to Lu Chuan, as if afraid he wouldn’t get drunk.

Haruko also took occasional sips, and before long, her charming face had turned rosy red.

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Chuan felt a bit intoxicated and told Kishimoto Naoki he couldn’t handle any more and needed to find a place to sleep.

Kishimoto Naoki immediately said that the presidential suite was ready and then helped Lu Chuan to the suite.

After seeing Lu Chuan settled, Kishimoto Naoki stepped out and called Kishimoto Haruko into a secluded room, saying earnestly, “Haruko, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for the family?”

Kishimoto Haruko replied, “Grandfather, what are you talking about?

Everything I have is given by the family; I am naturally willing to make sacrifices.”

Kishimoto Naoki nodded and said, “Good, I have a mission for you now.”

Curious, Kishimoto Haruko asked, “What mission?”

Kishimoto Naoki said, “I want you to seduce Lu Chuan!”
