The leading officer looked at Zhou Kai Wu, ordering: âUnder orders of Impartial Goddess, the Third SWAT team has arrived at the scene, dealing with suspect nowâ
âZhou Kai Wu, come with us quietly!â
As soon as Zhou Kai Wu heard that, he wanted to act up, but the five men had already acted first and surrounded him.
Each one put put their hand and hold his shoulder down.
Their hands felt like metal grips, no matter how much Zhou Kai Wu struggled he still couldnât move an inch.
He opened his eyes wide, only now realizing that all these give men were also Martial Eminence.
âDamn bastard ââ-â he shouted unwillingly
âShut up!â
The leading officer shouted, knocking him down to the ground with a single kick, unable to get back up.
The same officer grabbed Zhou Kai Wu, kicked the ground and flew up to the Warship.
Halfway there, as the force faded and they were about to drop back down, the officer breathed deeply, shouted as the power of Martial Thaumaturgy exploded outward, kicking them toward the sky again.
Their figures disappeared at the Warshipâs entrance.
The four other officers also quickly flew up.
Impartial Goddess continued to speak: âBegin initial calculations, the buildingâs entire construction fees estimated to be 8 billion, after taking into account natural depreciation, current market price estimated to be 6,3 billion, sir Gu Qing Shan, would you like to confiscate this building to make up for Zhou Kai Wuâs debt?â
âOf course, I have a feeling he wonât be able to pay his debt to me anytime soonâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
âBut I donât really have time to manage something like thisâ he pat Zhang Ying Haoâs shoulder, saying: âFind some people to run the casino, of course only the official kind of gambling is allowed, profits weâll split 7:3, Iâll take 7â
Zhang Ying Hao rubbed his chin: âAlready splitting profits? Youâre a really good business partnerâ
But then he spoke regretfully: âA partnerâs assets increased like this could benefit my business quite a bit, sadly a hitman firm canât be listed, otherwise my stocks will surely soarâ
âAh, but I can make a dummy company to go on the market instead, hm, letâs just call it the Butchering Firm then?â
Gu Qing Shan looked at him like this an unconsciously thought about Qin Xiao Lou.
If the two of them were to work with each other...
He shook his head to dispel the idea.
Impartial Goddess once again spoke: âIâve dispatched forces to enter the building to collect evidence of Zhou Kai Wuâs crimes, requesting permission from the owner, sir Gu Qing Shanâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled: âPlease go aheadâ
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao now stood up, walking towards the entrance and happen to meet Du Guong Qiong.
âThanks to you, my business here is shotâ Du Guong Qiong smiled teasingly.
âMy apologies, would you like me to compensate?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âMoney is no subject, today Iâve been thoroughly entertained âââwell, Iâll leave first, contact me if there are any businessâ Du Guong Qiong quickly and gracefully exited the casino.
âThis woman is quite fine, sadly she has a disposition of liking abuseâ Zhang Ying Hao muttered as he saw her off.
Gu Qing Shan ignored him and looked for a servant.
One of the servants on the first floor saw the entire process, quickly changed his attitude and lead the two of them down an elevator.
As he pushed the button, the elevator began to climb downward.
Ting.
As it arrived at the last floor, the door opened.
This was a prison, the long rows of cell extend far into the darkness, enough to not be seen by the naked eye.
Thereâs only the occasional sound from the cells that claws at your heart.
Gu Qing Shan could hear very clearly there was something inside the cells, gnawing on bones.
To Zhang Ying Hao, such a thing only sounds strange.
Only Gu Qing Shan whoâs a returner from the Apocalypse knows for sure that was the sound of monsters doing what they did.
The servant turned around and asked: âI need to confirm a bit, you gentlemen were looking for the grand prize, correct?â
Gu Qing Shan became serious, sincerely said: âThatâs right, I only want the grand prizeâ
Zhang Ying Hao also nodded.
The servant spoke: âThen please come with me, and do be careful, there are many weird things here, so please donât carelessly touch themâ
As he finished, he started going down a certain direction.
The two of them followed, arriving at a cell after a while.
This was a completely sealed steel room, if it werenât for the row of buttons on the side, no one would even know there was something kept in here.
The servant stepped forward, pressing the buttons on the wall in a certain way.
Then as the heavy steel doors opened, the steam escaped from the room, showering them in the bone-chilling cold air.
âOriginally we had quite a large piece, but itâs already all rotten, since we didnât have any other choice, we could only do thisâ the servant explained.
Walking inside, Gu Qing Shan felt the chill reaching him deeply.
Inside this freezing cabin was a large chunk of ice.
Inside the ice was a piece of flesh the size of a person.
The flesh slowly contracted, then slowly expanded again.
âThatâs some good stuffâ
Gu Qing Shan complimented.
As the servant and Zhang Ying Hao heard that, they were a bit shocked.
Gu Qing Shan ignored them, going around the large chunk of ice once to confirm its value.
This was a space monster heart, or at least, a small piece of it.
The lower value piece on a space monsterâs body is the outer shell and skin, the true value of it lies in the flesh and bones, while its innards are the most valuable.
And of all the innards, the most valuable thing is the heart.
Gu Qing Shan paid no attention to the other two, took out the Earth sword and starts cutting up the chunk of ice.
The freezing hard ice, was cut like soft tofu with the sword.
Where the Earth sword cut, the ice was easily removed.
As Gu Qing Shan swung his sword, he quickly extracted the piece of space monster heart.
The servant had already prepared beforehand and gave him a suitcase with the miniature freezing apparatus to store it.
Gu Qing Shan put the piece of space monster heart inside, smiling: âThank youâ
The servant lowered his head, saying: âYou are our new boss, so itâs natural for us to serve youâ
The servant leads them further in to another large sealed steel cell.
âThis was the second grand prize, a strange personâ
âDo we want this?â Zhang Ying Hao couldnât help but ask.
âOf course notâ
Gu Qing Shan originally didnât want to look at it, but then suddenly he felt something.
Something buried deep inside his mind was now making his heart beat faster.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, and a layer of cold sweat formed on his back.
Why did I react like that?
Gu Qing Shan immediately took notice.
Sometimes, a cultivator will suddenly have a moment of his heart beating faster, to signify something bad about to happen.
âWait a minuteâ he said: âWeâll take a look firstâ
As the servant heard that, he opened the door.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were both curious.
As the servant said before, the 2nd grand prize is a strange person.
Then what exactly would you call âstrangeâ?
The steel door slowly opened.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were stunned.
Unlike before, this was quite a smaller cell.
In it was a thin old man, both his hands and feet were bound tightly, stuck fast to the steel wall.
His stomach was already ripped open; the inside was devoid of any organs.
But looking at his chest moving up and down, you can tell he was still breathing.
âHeâs alive?â Zhang Ying Haoâs face became serious.
âYes, aliveâ The servant replied.
Zhang Ying Hao opened his mouth wide, but unable to say anything.
As a member of the 9 Lords Aristocrat, he has seen many many strange things ever since he was small.
But all those things didnât hold a candle to this scene before him, as well as the meaning it represents.
A person who has lost all their organs is still alive.
If this is thanks to a genetic mutation, with current DNA technology, they only need to extract a small piece of DNA to find the secret to immortality.
From both medical and biological standpoint, this would be the most important event in the entire history of humanityâs civilization.
