Hearing this, the expression of the Chief Commander of the Flying Sword became somewhat awkward.
"My Lord, these five assassins are already dead."
"You killed them? That was fast?" Prince Meng asked.
The Chief Commander of the Flying Sword shook his head awkwardly. "When we arrived, these five had already been killed. There were no signs of a struggle, and their internal organs were all shattered."
"A Grandmaster made a move?" Prince Meng exclaimed in surprise.
Marquis Shen Jian also asked in surprise, "Have you found out who did it?"
The Chief Commander of the Flying Sword shook his head. "There are no clues."
"There are only so many Grandmasters in the capital; check them one by one," Marquis Shen Jian said.
"These five people were killed after attempting to assassinate Qin Hanchu. Does Qin Hanchu have a Grandmaster protecting him?" Prince Meng asked in disbelief.
The Chief Commander of the Flying Sword pondered. "Neither the Jin family in Jinling nor the Shen family in Fujian have Grandmasters entering the capital. Who else could be by Qin Hanchu's side?"
Those from the Flying Sword only knew that the Jin family's old ancestor and Shen Wanfeng had an unusual relationship with Qin Hanchu, but they were unaware that these two families had already submitted to Qin Hanchu.
They were even more unaware that the Xiao family, which possessed a mid-stage Grandmaster, had also submitted.
"Go investigate. I need to know which Grandmaster is protecting Qin Hanchu."
Marquis Shen Jian held a strong prejudice against Qin Hanchu.
He had done so much for the royal family to earn the title of Marquis Shen Jian.
Yet, Qin Hanchu had done nothing and was now on equal footing with him!
What was the use of exceptional talent if one couldn't survive and grow up?
Oriental Shopping Mall was a premier high-end shopping destination in the capital.
After dealing with the warriors from the Walton family, Qin Hanchu came here to meet up with Tang Siwei and the other four.
From a distance, Qin Hanchu saw several young men whispering while looking at Lin Ying and the others in the women's clothing store.
"They are so beautiful. If I could find a woman like this as a wife, I would have no regrets in this life."
"They probably don't have boyfriends. Should we go up and try to strike up a conversation?"
"I think we should. Maybe it will work."
"These women have outstanding temperaments. Their families are probably well-off."
"We aren't bad ourselves. Whose family has assets less than a hundred million?"
"That's true."
"Let's go in."
As Qin Hanchu approached, the young men pushed open the door and entered the women's clothing store.
"Hello, five beautiful ladies. May I invite you to lunch?" one of the young men said shamelessly with a smile.
"I'm sorry, but we have plans," Xin Xin replied with a smile.
"It's alright, you can invite your friends to join us. We'll treat," another young man said.
"I don't like eating with strangers, so I'm sorry," Qin Hanchu said from behind the young men.
The young men looked at Qin Hanchu.
Upon seeing that Qin Hanchu was just a "kid" in his early twenties, a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.
"Don't we get to know each other by chatting?"
"I believe we can definitely become good friends."
Qin Hanchu stated directly, "Don't waste your time on them. They are not suitable for you, and you have no chance."
"Whether it's suitable or not, what you say shouldn't count, right?" Qin Hanchu's direct refusal made the young men lose face. One of them said with a sullen face.
"What he says actually counts," Lin Ying smiled. "Because we are all his women."
What?
The young men looked at Qin Hanchu in disbelief.
These five beautiful women all belonged to this kid?
"If you want to reject us, just say it directly. There's no need to use this method," one of the young men said dismissively.
"Kid, does pretending to be cool feel great?"
"Brother, how much did you pay for them? Give us their contact information, and when your time is up, you can transfer them to us to play with."
At first, it was nothing serious, but then, one of the young men, with his loose tongue, implied that Lin Ying and the other four were prostitutes.
How could Qin Hanchu allow them to insult his friends?
Slap!
Qin Hanchu slapped the young man across the face, and he said coldly, "Watch your mouth. If you dare to speak disrespectfully again, you'll face the consequences."
"Damn it, you can't say they're out for sale?" The young man, having been slapped by Qin Hanchu, cursed angrily.
Qin Hanchu did not reply. He grabbed the young man's shoulder and squeezed it fiercely.
Crack!
As the shoulder blade shattered, the young man let out a hysterical scream.
The other young men were scared pale by this scene.
"You dare to injure someone in Oriental Mall? Don't you know the rules of Oriental Mall?"
"Rules? Your rules don't apply to me!" Qin Hanchu said disdainfully.
"What a big mouth." Just then, the mall security guards rushed in. The captain leading them shouted angrily.
Qin Hanchu looked at the security captain and said, "This matter has nothing to do with your mall, so don't interfere."
"Anyone who enters our mall must abide by our rules. If you injure someone, you must accept our punishment," the security captain roared.
Qin Hanchu smiled. "Punishment? What is your punishment?"
"You crippled his shoulder blade, so I will cripple yours," the security captain said.
"Are you sure!" Qin Hanchu threw the token of Marquis Champion to the security captain.
The security captain took the token, and upon seeing the words "Marquis Champion," his eyes filled with shock.
Although he didn't know who Marquis Champion was, any Marquis was someone their mall couldn't afford to offend.
The security captain didn't believe Qin Hanchu was Marquis Champion, but as long as he held Marquis Champion's token, he was someone related to Marquis Champion.
Thinking of his previous arrogant words, the security captain was covered in cold sweat. He respectfully handed the token back to Qin Hanchu and trembled, "Please forgive me, sir. I was presumptuous."
"Take them out. Don't ruin our mood," Qin Hanchu said, not wanting to bother with a security captain.
Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, the security captain quickly signaled his subordinates to drag the young men out.
"Who exactly is he?" the young man whose shoulder was crippled asked indignantly after leaving the women's clothing store.
The security captain snorted. "Holding Marquis Champion's token, what do you think he is?"
Upon hearing this, the young men completely lost their temper.
The young man whose arm was crippled secretly felt a sense of relief.
People from the Marquis's Mansion, even if they killed him, what could be done?
Having one hand crippled was already fortunate.
In a place like the capital, one should never be arrogant without a terrifying background.
"He's so manly, I kind of like you," Xue Lingxian teased with a smile.
"Stop messing around and hurry up and buy clothes."
"My sister and Hairu are about to arrive."
Qin Hanchu said.
"Be our consultant and tell us which one looks good?" Lin Ying struck a pose, saying.
Xue Lingxian, Tang Siwei, and the others also struck poses, asking Qin Hanchu to look at which dress was better.
"They all look good," Qin Hanchu said carelessly.
"We aren't even boyfriend and girlfriend yet, and you're already being so perfunctory?" Tang Siwei said with a smile.
"Is my perfunctoriness obvious?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"What do you think?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
