Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 146 The Walton Family

The moment Qin Han Chu revealed his Grandmaster realm, he had foreseen this day.

Enemy nations would never permit a genius like Qin Han Chu to emerge in the Great Yan Kingdom.

To eliminate Qin Han Chu was to weaken the Great Yan Kingdom's destiny.

If Qin Han Chu were allowed to grow, he would be a nightmare for enemy nations.

The capital, Kyoto, had an extremely terrifying level of public security.

The Kyoto Patrol arrived not long after the fight began.

As guardians of Kyoto's security, the Kyoto Patrol were naturally equipped with firearms.

Even Grandmasters had to be wary of firearms.

Soon, the enemy martial artists hiding in the shadows retreated.

Little did they know, Qin Han Chu was secretly tracking them.

While Qin Han Chu couldn't expose his strength openly, he could eliminate these fellows in secret.

After half an hour of pursuit, Qin Han Chu saw five assassins enter the headquarters of a multinational corporation.

The CEO of this corporation was a businessman from the United States of America, indicating that these assassins likely hailed from the USA.

On the southeast corner of the corporate headquarters stood a villa-like building.

This was originally the residence of the branch president, but it had now become a base for strong individuals from the USA.

"I didn't expect this guy to have such rich combat experience. Our combined attack was actually broken by him."

"As expected of a young Grandmaster, his strength is quite formidable."

"If we weren't afraid of being exposed, we would have just charged in and killed him. Why bother with all this trouble?"

"This is Kyoto, after all. If our whereabouts are discovered, we'll be immediately locked onto by Great Yan Kingdom's experts."

"It's better to be cautious, we didn't come here to die."

"That's reasonable. The Great Yan Kingdom's surveillance is very powerful. Once we're targeted, we'll definitely have no escape."

While the five were chatting, Qin Han Chu had already opened the door and walked in.

The five mistook him for a servant returning to attend to them, so they paid him no mind.

They never imagined that Qin Han Chu would track them here.

"Five gentlemen, a guest has arrived. Won't you offer a welcome?" Qin Han Chu had learned some American English from his master while on the mountain, so normal communication was not an issue.

Qin Han Chu's words made the five turn around in surprise.

Upon seeing Qin Han Chu, the five were so shocked they stood up.

"How are you here?" one of them asked, astonished.

Qin Han Chu smiled and replied, "Of course, I tracked you here."

"Are you here to seek death?" Although the man's words were full of disdain, his gaze was fixed on the outside.

In his mind, Qin Han Chu would never have come alone.

Perhaps, they were already surrounded.

Even though they were Grandmasters, this was the Great Yan Kingdom, after all.

Qin Han Chu was the Champion Marquis of the Great Yan Kingdom. If they assassinated Qin Han Chu, how could the Great Yan Kingdom let them go?

"Incorrect, I am here to send you on your way," Qin Han Chu said with a smile.

"Stop the nonsense, kill him!"

Following the leader's command, the five charged towards Qin Han Chu together.

Qin Han Chu stood in place, unmoving, a playful smile on his lips.

Seeing Qin Han Chu make no move to dodge, all five were filled with disbelief.

But there was no time for them to ponder. They struck fiercely, intending to take Qin Han Chu's life.

However, at that moment, Qin Han Chu's internal energy erupted.

The terrifying internal energy directly blasted the five backwards.

*Puff puff...*

Even though the five were late-stage Grandmaster experts, they had no ability to resist Qin Han Chu's internal energy.

They crashed hard onto the ground, looking at Qin Han Chu in terror.

"You... you are... a late-stage Grandmaster..."

"No... impossible..."

"How... could this be?"

With that, the five people breathed their last.

Their eyes were filled with horror.

Qin Han Chu was confident in his strength. The power he unleashed was enough to shatter the internal organs of the five, so there was no possibility of them surviving.

When someone entered the room, Qin Han Chu had already vanished.

It was evening in the United States of America, and the patriarch of the Walton family was enjoying dinner.

As the head of the most powerful family in the USA, the Walton patriarch's banquet was extremely luxurious.

Every dish was made with world-class ingredients.

"Patriarch, news has arrived from the Great Yan Kingdom that the five Grandmaster experts we sent have been killed." At this moment, the Walton family's butler entered, his face solemn.

"Killed? What happened?" The Walton patriarch's eyes flickered slightly, then he asked calmly.

"They made their move once but were unsuccessful."

"Afterwards, they were found dead at their temporary lodging."

"According to intelligence, the five had no external injuries; their internal organs were all shattered by internal energy."

"There were no signs of a struggle at the scene; it was likely a complete annihilation."

"I surmise it was the work of a Grandmaster expert," the butler said.

The Walton patriarch said coldly, "The Great Yan Kingdom's protection for him is quite thorough."

"Should we continue?" the butler asked.

The Walton patriarch shook his head. "Let's wait. Give other factions an opportunity to make a move."

"Understood." The butler turned and walked out.

The Divine Sword Marquis Manor in Kyoto.

The Divine Sword Marquis was currently playing chess with Prince Meng.

Although the Divine Sword Marquis was over a hundred years old, he looked like he was in his sixties.

Prince Meng was fifty-eight years old, but his condition was inferior to that of this centenarian.

"What do you think of Qin Han Chu, Your Highness?" the Divine Sword Marquis asked with a smile, placing a chess piece.

Prince Meng held a chess piece and replied, "His martial arts talent is truly unprecedented. However, this person is exceptionally proud and might be difficult to control."

"Too much pride can be tempered." The Divine Sword Marquis smiled.

"How can he be tempered? His Majesty has enfeoffed him as the Champion Marquis. Who dares to oppose him!" Prince Meng exclaimed.

The Divine Sword Marquis chuckled. "No one in the Great Yan Kingdom dares to oppose him, but our arch-nemeses will not allow such a martial arts prodigy to appear in the Great Yan Kingdom."

"Did the Sharp Sword Division not send anyone to protect him?" Prince Meng asked.

The Divine Sword Marquis shook his head slightly. "No."

"Is His Majesty not afraid of him being killed?"

"If he is killed, it can only be attributed to Heaven's jealousy of talent," the Divine Sword Marquis stated.

Prince Meng's eyes shifted slightly; he understood the implication.

No matter how monstrous Qin Han Chu was, as long as he showed no reverence for the imperial family, he held no value to them.

If he could not be used by the imperial family, he could only be eliminated.

Of course, it had not reached that stage yet.

The imperial family was using external pressure to grind down Qin Han Chu's sharp edges, to make him realize that he was not invincible and that he should have reverence for powerful forces.

If Qin Han Chu were to be accidentally killed, it would be of little loss to the imperial family.

"Marquis." At this moment, the Director-General of the Sharp Sword Division approached the Divine Sword Marquis.

"Speak," the Divine Sword Marquis commanded.

"Qin Han Chu was assassinated by five Grandmaster archers. He broke through the blockade and was unharmed," the Director-General of the Sharp Sword said.

"Five Grandmaster archers attacked him, and he escaped unharmed? His vigilance is quite high." The Divine Sword Marquis's tone held a hint of surprise. He continued, "The Champion Marquis was attacked. Your Sharp Sword Division should act accordingly and apprehend the assassins."
