Chapter 587: The Terrifying Thunder
âThe Five Thunder Seal resulted even better than I would have imagined.â
Chen Fan sat in the hall of the Winter Palace after sending Chris off.
The Five Thunder Seal floated next to him, giving out sparks of lightning. Five colors of lightning flashed endlessly and contained a terrifying power of destruction.
âI wanted my Five Thunder Seal to simply unleash the Thunder Art of different attributes and be powerful, but I didnât foresee that it would suck up all the energy of the thunderclouds, gaining a chance to release the âFive Elements Thunder.'â
âThe Five Elements Thunder is a destructive power in the Five Elements Immortal Sect that can only be handled by cultivators of at least the Golden Core level, since the Thunder Art is one of the strongest Dharmic powers in the world. Itâs formed by the five kinds of thunder and it creates a destructive power, just like the energy released when the universe explodes. Once the power breaks out, everything within ten kilometers will be destroyed. It is as powerful as the small nuclear weapons,â Chen Fan pondered quietly.
âBut thereâs only one chance. To gather such huge energy again, it either has to take a few months or to keep absorbing power from several more Spirit Artifacts. It isnât like a Golden Core cultivator who can send out powerful energy with just a move, or a Nascent Soul cultivator who can level a country with an attack.â
Chen Fan cracked a smile.
Once was enough.
The Five Elements Thunder was as powerful as nuclear weapons and one strike could put the superpowers on edge. Not even an Earth Level Deity would survive an attack of the Five Elements Thunder. Their Divine Souls would be unable to escape the pure destructive power.
Chen Fan made the Five Thunder Seal only because he wanted a real Dharma Treasure. The Five Elements Thunder was a pure surprise.
With the Five Thunder Seal and the Five Elements Thunder, Chen Fan would possess the power of an Earth Level Deity, also on par with any superpower. Even if the Blood Ancestor tried to take his revenge, the Five Elements Thunder could easily crush him with a strike.
AâXiu came in and said, âTeacher, Miss An Ya has arrived in London.â
âSister An is here?â
Chen Fan quickly rose to his feet with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
An Ya didnât come alone this time, her whole team joined her. A fifth of the seniors of North Qiong Corp were smart and capable elites, and they went to open the gate to the European market, even though North Qiong Corp had the âVitality Serumâ as their trump card.
The European Union had been refusing to allow it in the European market due to the unknown ingredients of the serum, and due to their inability to ensure whether it was harmful to the human body. They had even resorted to smearing campaigns about the serum on newspapers, claiming that it had dubious effects.
North Qiong Corp also met the officials several times, but they insisted that they would only allow the corporation to enter the market after sharing the formula of the Vitality Serum. Of course, they couldnât agree with this condition.
âFizz!â
Planes slided through the air and landed at the London International Airport.
Chen Fan stood on the airport and saw An Ya in her beige trench coat and white shirt. She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, high heels and sunglasses, walking towards Chen Fan like a bossy CEO.
People from the North Qiong Sect walked behind her. Chen Fan suddenly saw a familiar face.
âArenât you Ai Jinqi?â
Chen Fan was surprised.
The girl next to An Ya was Ai Jinqi, whom Chen Fan had met in Japan and Zhong Hai. She was wearing a black suit, an overskirt and a black glasses. Her legs were thin and long, and her hourglass body figure was shown clearly.
Ai Jinqi answered formally, âMr. Chen, Iâm Miss Anâs assistant. Please call me Assistant Ai.â
An Ya was thrilled, but she had to stay dignified in front of her subordinates so she didnât give Chen Fan a hug. Instead, she took off her sunglasses and said with a beaming smile.
âI thought they were fooling me, but you really are in Europe!â
âOf course, I even bought a palace in London that is even larger than the Buckingham Palace. Sister An, do you want to see it?â Chen Fan said like a teenager who needed attention from his sister.
âBraggart.â
Ai Jinqi rolled her eyes at the back.
Buckingham Palace covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Such a huge palace in London would be worth more than all North Qiong Corpâs assets. They wouldnât be able to buy it even if they sold Chen Fan.
âBelieve it or not, itâs true.â
Chen Fan shrugged and felt strange.
Why did the girl treat him like this after two years? When did he offend her?
Chen Fan didnât know that Ai Jinqi had a crush on him, but she felt indignant for An Yaâs sake, ever since she learned that Chen Fan had a lot of beautiful disciples. She thought that Chen Fan was a playboy and that it wasnât worth it for An Ya to stay by his side.
An Ya giggled and said, âAlright, letâs check it out.â
After they got in the car, An Ya explained to Chen Fan why she was there as she looked at the scenery outside, âWeâve already had six rounds of negotiations with the European Union and this is the seventh. Theyâve always insisted that we disclose our formula and they will then let us enter their market. Iâm here for the next meeting so I decided to stop by to see you.â
Moments later, An Ya wondered, âBrother, why did you come to Europe?â
An Ya and Fang Qiong werenât members of the North Qiong Sect and they didnât know much about the sect and the Dark World, so they surely wouldnât know that Chen Fan had caused an uproar and startled the world in just half a month.
âTo kill someone.â Chen Fan replied and digressed. âDonât worry, the European Union will definitely agree with our conditions this time.â
âWhat a bluff. Youâre only significant in our country. The European Union is formed by a dozen countries which are all superpowers. We even paid many influential politicians including the Spanish Deputy Prime Minister to help, but the European Union is still unwilling to accept the conditions,â Ai Jinqi whispered.
China was indeed thriving, but it wasnât as influential as the European Union. In fact, speaking of economical impact, even the United States was inferior to the European Union. They were manipulated by the United States only because they were too loose and had weak military forces.
âYouâll know by then.â
Chen Fan smiled and went silent.
Since Chen Fan had shocked all of Europe with his Five Elements Thunder and had scared the hell out of the British government, it wouldnât be a problem at all to let North Qiong Corp enter the European market.
Ai Jinqi rolled her eyes and murmured, âSeriously?â
Her understanding of Chen Fan was limited to what she experienced a year before. Chen Fan killed Lin Puojun at a banquet in Zhong Hai and banished the Lin Family. However, it was a totally different situation, since the European Union was an organization of world-class significance.
An Ya didnât say anything and her eyes were filled with trust.
She didnât know what Chen Fan did in Europe, but she knew exactly how powerful he was.
When they finally arrived, they were immediately astonished by the magnificent and grand Winter Palace.
Ai Jinqiâs eyes popped out.
The enormous palace complex covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters, which was even larger than the Buckingham Palace. More importantly, it was located outside London and could be sold at an incredibly high price.
âYou really bought a palace! Would it be a palace of some King or Duke of England? How much does it cost?â Ai Jinqi asked.
Chen Fan introduced, âItâs a palace that was built by the King of England, George the Second. Since it was used as a shelter from the cold, it was named the Winter Palace.â
Many seniors of North Qiong Corp were only ordinary people so they didnât have much understanding about the North Qiong Sect. They were astonished but they didnât know that this had previously been the Dark World Arbitration Departmentâs HQ.
Only An Ya gave Chen Fan a meaningful stare.
She knew that his brother would only take things by force instead of buying them.
An Ya came in the morning.
Soon, she showed an invitation card to Chen Fan. âThe CEOs of several banks and leaders of some major families in England invited me to the banquet organized at the Windsor Residence. Come with me.â
Chen Fan was free so he agreed.
The Windsor Residence was located near the River Thames. It used to be the place where a royal noble of the House of Windsor lived and was later reconstructed into a high-end business center. Those who were invited were all significant figures in London.
An Ya didnât want to go there.
But the one who invited her was an important person in the British financial industry. If North Qiong Corp wanted to enter the European market, they needed help from these consortium leaders, so she had to attend.
An Ya sat in the car and said as she heaved a sigh, âEngland values the financial industry. Bank giants like the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Barclays are influential as Citibank and Goldman Sachs of the United States. They have a long history and the support from a lot of big families, even as powerful as the royal family. Weâll need their help to convince the European Union.â
Even though North Qiong Corp was developing swiftly, they were still being boycotted by the western countries. Fang Qiong and An Ya had racked their brains trying to enter the European and the American markets. After all, Europe and the United States had the most developed economy in the world and even all the other areas together would be inferior than those two regions.
âThese old consortiums are unbelievably cunning and greedy. Itâll be hard to convince them, unless we offer them enough benefits!â
Fatigue was seen in An Yaâs eyes.
Chen Fan listened to her, then said softly, âSister An, Iâm here for you.â
âHm.â
An Ya nodded.
In the meantime, they arrived at the Windsor Residence.
