The Wang clan members among the Imperial Guards were instantly thrown into a panic upon hearing the words.
*Thump!*
Before an Imperial Guard commander could react, he was stabbed by a subordinate beside him.
"I surrender!" After killing the commander, this person rushed out of the Imperial Guard formation and shouted.
Seeing this, the others also scrambled to attack the Wang family leaders beside them.
In fact, the person who first assassinated the commander was one of Qin family's hidden operatives.
The highest position in the Dragon City Imperial Guards was the Commander-in-Chief, followed by commanders and centurions.
The unit stationed around the Alliance Leader's mansion was merely a detachment of the Imperial Guards.
The Inspector-General of the Imperial Guards was not present.
When Qin Hanchu moved against the Alliance Leader, he had already dispatched people to jam all nearby signals.
Because of this, people outside were still unaware of what had transpired in the Alliance Leader's mansion.
Soon, the high-ranking leaders of this Imperial Guard unit were all eliminated by their own subordinates.
"From today onwards, you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon City Imperial Guards," Qin Hanchu said, pointing to the spy the Qin clan had planted within the Imperial Guards.
"Yes, I swear to wholeheartedly obey the Qin clan!" This person immediately knelt on one knee and declared.
Seeing this, the other Imperial Guards also quickly knelt on one knee to show their loyalty.
"Elder Lushuang, take them to subdue the rest of the Imperial Guards."
"After securing the Imperial Guards, immediately seal the city."
"Once the city is sealed, begin the full takeover of Dragon City."
"All major and minor factions within the city, those who submit will remain."
"Deal with anyone with ulterior motives."
Qin Hanchu said coldly.
Elder Lushuang nodded, "Understood, I will go do that now."
With that, Elder Lushuang led the Qin clan spy and the newly surrendered Imperial Guards away.
"Great-grandmother, let's take his head and have a chat with the City Lord," Qin Hanchu said.
Under his great-grandmother's command, a Qin clan martial artist took away the Alliance Leader's head.
Although the Alliance Leader was the master of Dragon City, the city's operations and planning were controlled by the City Lord.
This City Lord was essentially a puppet of the Alliance Leader.
Most of the Alliance Leader's orders were carried out by him.
At this moment, the City Lord was still asleep.
Qin Hanchu and the other two silently infiltrated the City Lord's villa and then entered his room.
It was only when Qin Hanchu opened the door that the City Lord suddenly woke up.
Looking at the three people before him, the City Lord was extremely shocked.
As the City Lord of Dragon City, he had naturally seen the profiles of Qin Hanchu and the Qin clan's high-ranking members.
Therefore, he recognized Qin Hanchu and Qin Lianying's identities at a glance.
"What do you want?"
This City Lord was only at the Grandmaster realm. He had been promoted to City Lord due to his outstanding management skills.
In front of Qin Lianying, he was not qualified to make a move.
Qin Hanchu made a gesture, and a clansman beside him placed a wooden box in front of the City Lord.
The City Lord frowned and opened the box. When he saw what was inside, his face turned deathly pale.
"You!"
The City Lord's eyes were filled with terror!
Qin Hanchu had actually killed the Alliance Leader?
The Alliance Leader was a Martial King realm expert!
"Not only is your master dead, but the Dragon City Imperial Guards are also under our control."
"Now you have two choices."
"First is to surrender. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can let you continue to be the City Lord."
"The second path, you should be very clear about."
Qin Hanchu said.
"I am willing to surrender."
"But I have one request."
The City Lord stabilized his emotions and said.
"Tell me." Qin Hanchu replied.
"Do not imprison my wife and daughter." The City Lord said.
Qin Hanchu pointed to the box and asked, "Did he imprison your wife and daughter?"
The City Lord glared at the person in the box and nodded, "To make me obey him, he imprisoned my wife and daughter."
"No problem, your family will be free from now on." Qin Hanchu said.
Upon hearing this, the City Lord nodded, "Alright, as long as you don't force me to make decisions against my conscience, I will do my best to manage Dragon City."
"Where are my family members being held? You should know this, right?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"They are in the Alliance Leader's mansion, and so are my wife and daughters," the City Lord replied.
"Does the Alliance Leader's mansion have a dungeon?"
Hearing this, Qin Hanchu was both excited and confused.
They had just come out of the Alliance Leader's mansion and had not seen any place where human traffickers were held.
The City Lord nodded, "Yes, I'll take you there now."
Led by the City Lord, Qin Hanchu and the other two returned to the Alliance Leader's mansion.
The basement level of the Alliance Leader's mansion was the antique storage area.
Various antiques dazzled the eyes.
The City Lord, familiar with the layout, went to the east wall and turned the flower pot in the corner.
As the flower pot turned, a nearby counter slid to the side.
Behind the counter was the entrance to the dungeon.
"Do you come here often?" Qin Hanchu asked.
The City Lord nodded, "Every week, he allows me to visit my family."
"Great-grandmother, you two stay here," Qin Hanchu said.
"Mm."
His great-grandmother understood that Qin Hanchu did not fully trust the City Lord.
He was worried the City Lord might play tricks, so he asked her to stand guard outside.
Qin Hanchu was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, so even if the City Lord tried anything, he would not be harmed.
Entering the passage, they soon encountered a heavy combination lock door.
After entering the password, the two went inside.
Qin Hanchu had expected the dungeon to be dark and gloomy, but unexpectedly, it was very clean inside.
Most importantly, there were various entertainment facilities.
Just then, a little girl appeared.
Seeing the City Lord beside Qin Hanchu, she happily ran over, "Daddy."
Seeing this, Qin Hanchu finally believed the City Lord's words.
The City Lord happily hugged his daughter and asked with a smile, "Where is Mommy?"
"Mommy is chatting with Auntie Ning," the little girl said with a smile.
Hearing the words "Auntie Ning," Qin Hanchu's heart stirred with excitement.
Hu Qingshan had mentioned that his mother's surname was Ning, and her name was Ning Caihuan!
Under the City Lord's lead, Qin Hanchu walked through the corridor, and a door appeared ahead.
The layout here was like a residential building.
Outside was a hallway, with multiple rooms on either side.
The City Lord knocked on the door, and a girl around twenty years old opened it and came out.
Seeing the City Lord, the girl was not surprised.
But seeing Qin Hanchu, she looked somewhat astonished.
Over the years, apart from the people who delivered daily necessities and the City Lord, this was the first stranger she had seen.
"Are you Qin Han?" Qin Hanchu's voice trembled slightly.
Qin Han nodded, "I am, who are you?"
Receiving Qin Han's reply, Qin Hanchu smiled happily, "I am your second brother! Where are Mom and eldest brother?"
"You... you are my second brother?" Qin Han's eyes were full of doubt!
"What second brother?"
Just then, two middle-aged women and a young man appeared before Qin Hanchu.
"Mom, he says he's my second brother," Qin Han said, pointing at Qin Hanchu.
Hearing this, Ning Caihuan's heart trembled. Her gaze immediately fell on Qin Hanchu's hand.
However, she did not see what she was looking for.
"Mom, are you looking for this?" Qin Hanchu, suppressing his excitement, took out the Asura Ring from his pocket.
