Chapter 782 - The Perfect Combination
Before walking out of the back room, Jiang Chen looked around. He said with curiosity, “Lord Xiahou, why don’t you have any people guarding such an important place?”
None of the five treasures kept in the secret room was as great as the Jiangs’ Sky-burning Evil Flame, but taking any of them outside would still be enough to cause a bloody slaughter. However, there were no guards outside of the back room.
Outside the back room, there was only a passage with thick solid iron walls on both sides. Jiang Chen thought about the way he had come in. He guessed the back room was deep in the mountain.
“Greed blinds us. There could be an inside job around such valuable treasures. It’s inevitable.” Lord Xiahou smiled complacently. Pointing at the passage before them, he said, “This passage looks ordinary, but in fact, it’s full of tricks. It looked one way when we came here, but when we come here next time, it will present a completely different look.”
When he had finished speaking, Jiang Chen had almost figured out the secret of the passage. People would get lost in there forever without the proper guidance.
A lord who can’t even trust his men? Jiang Chen thought involuntarily. And the lord looked quite proud of himself, as if he had seen through human nature. There were all kinds of people in such a big world. Jiang Chen just stopped thinking about it.
The two left the back room and went into a deluxe study. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown while assessing Lord Xiahou’s situation. He said, “Lord Xiahou, your injuries were caused when you broke through to great Venerable. However, you didn’t deal with them in time. They’ve grown worse over time.”
This old dog…
Jiang Chen wasn’t very happy, since he had told Lord Xiahou to stop drinking and having sex for the moment.
“Huh, him?” Lord Xiahou, who had always had a smile on his face during the day, looked like a different person at that moment.
