The gazes of others also fell upon the young man.
What could be more shocking than reaching the Grandmaster realm at the age of twenty-one?
"As far as I know, he can assist peak Grandmasters in breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm," the young man said.
"What? Others can help with breakthroughs?"
"Where did you hear that? That's too outlandish!"
"If he can help with breakthroughs, wouldn't Great Grandmasters become commonplace?"
Several men and women said in surprise and disbelief.
At this moment, the captain's expression turned extremely grim.
"Qin Hanchu, surname Qin!"
"Could he be Qin Feng's son!"
Qin Feng, whom the captain spoke of, was Qin Hanchu's father, the Asura King.
"Who is Qin Feng?" one of the women asked curiously.
"You don't need to know," the captain said solemnly. "Let's go back. The Dragon Alliance will send someone to investigate Ye Fanchen's matter."
As a core member of the Dragon Alliance, the captain was well aware of the truth behind the Asura King incident.
Upon hearing that Qin Hanchu could help martial artists advance, he immediately thought of the Asura King.
If this Marquis Champion was indeed the Asura King's son, then everything would make sense.
The next day, in the backyard of the villa.
Qin Hanchu was currently condensing the *gang qi* within his body.
Just then, Suanmei walked over.
Suanmei stopped at a distance of five meters from Qin Hanchu.
Ten minutes later, Qin Hanchu finally stood up.
"Did you get it?" Qin Hanchu asked.
Suanmei handed her phone to Qin Hanchu. "It's all here."
The phone contained photos of the Wang family's port.
The appearances of the men and women from the Dragon Gate who went out for training were all captured.
"We don't know which families the others visited, but this person visited the Huangfu family," Suanmei said, pointing at a young man in the photo.
Ever since he had a falling out with the Huangfu family, Qin Hanchu had arranged for people to keep an eye on them.
It was precisely because of this informant that the youth from the Dragon Gate was recognized.
"So, the Huangfu family is also a subordinate force of the Dragon Gate."
Qin Hanchu did not expect the Huangfu family to have a connection with the Dragon Gate.
"Likely," Suanmei replied.
Since the Huangfu family was a subordinate of the Dragon Gate, the matter of the Sea Transport Ancestor searching for the "treasure" was likely an order from the Dragon Gate.
Anything that could pique the interest of the Dragon Gate must be extremely valuable.
Even facing the disaster of clan extermination, the Situ family had not handed over this so-called treasure, so they likely were genuinely unaware.
"If that's the case, the Dragon Gate must know that I can help martial artists advance."
"It won't be long before they come to find me," Qin Hanchu said gravely.
"What do we need to do?" Suanmei asked.
Qin Hanchu pondered for a moment, then said, "You go back to headquarters first. Don't show yourself for a while."
"Understood."
Suanmei knew that Qin Hanchu was trying to protect her.
As an eighth-grade martial artist, she had no right to participate in a battle between Great Grandmasters.
As they were talking, Tianlong walked in and said, "Master, the Fifth Princess is here."
"She found me after all."
"Please invite her in."
Since she had found him, Qin Hanchu couldn't very well avoid her.
Not long after, Ji Huairou walked in with a stern expression.
"Fifth Princess, what is it this time?" Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing?"
"By the way, why did you block my number?"
Ji Huairou glared at Qin Hanchu and questioned him.
"I was in seclusion and just turned off my phone."
"You are a princess, who would dare block your number?" Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
Ji Huairou snorted, "I don't believe you!"
Qin Hanchu smiled and said nothing further.
Seeing that Qin Hanchu wasn't responding, Ji Huairou said, "Father has assigned us a task, you need to go with me."
"What task?" Qin Hanchu asked, bewildered.
Ji Huairou casually sat down and said, "Participate in the World Martial Arts Conference!"
The World Martial Arts Conference?
Qin Hanchu looked at Suanmei in confusion.
Suanmei whispered, "It's a grand martial arts event jointly organized by countries worldwide, held every four years."
"You want me to participate?"
Qin Hanchu had no desire to participate in this martial arts conference.
With him, a late-stage Great Grandmaster, participating, wouldn't that be bullying?
"We are the observer representatives for Dayan Country, we don't need to fight," Ji Huairou explained.
"If I leave Dayan Country, will I be captured?"
"Shouldn't talent like me be protected?"
Qin Hanchu was puzzled. How could Dayan Country bear to let him leave its borders?
Within the borders of Dayan Country, Qin Hanchu was already being targeted for assassination, let alone leaving Dayan Country.
"We are representatives of Dayan Country, and the Duchy of Berlin, as the host nation for this event, will definitely protect our safety."
"Besides, we can bring our own guards," Ji Huairou said with a smile.
"Can I refuse?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Of course, if you're afraid," Ji Huairou said with a smile.
Qin Hanchu was naturally not afraid, he just didn't want to go abroad.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to refuse the Fifth Princess, Suanmei walked in and said, "Hanchu, may I have a word in private?"
Qin Hanchu followed Suanmei to a room upstairs and asked, "What is it?"
"The day before yesterday, a company salvaged a modified human's yacht."
"Although this company is an American company, we discovered that its behind-the-scenes boss is from the Duchy of Berlin."
"The modified human forces are likely located in the Duchy of Berlin."
Qin Hanchu had not intended to go to the Duchy of Berlin, but if the modified human forces were there, he now had a compelling reason to go.
As long as he appeared in the Duchy of Berlin, these modified human forces would certainly not miss this opportunity.
On their home turf, their confidence would surely swell.
With this thought, Qin Hanchu returned downstairs. He said to Ji Huairou, "Alright, when do we leave?"
"Why are you suddenly so interested?" Ji Huairou asked, bewildered.
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "I heard the beauties in the Duchy of Berlin are very beautiful. I need to go and see for myself."
"Am I not beautiful enough?"
"Don't you have enough beautiful women to choose from in Dayan Country?" Ji Huairou said with a look of disdain.
Three days later, the Dayan Country royal family's private jet took off from Beihai City.
Besides Qin Hanchu and Ji Huairou, they also brought their respective guards.
Ji Huairou's guard was an old man in the early stage of the Great Grandmaster realm, while Qin Hanchu's guard was Old Ghost.
As for Jiu Gui and the three brothers of Tian Long, Qin Hanchu did not bring them along.
Once outside the country, it was exceptionally dangerous, and there was no need to put them at risk.
For overt dangers, Old Ghost was more than capable of handling them.
As for covert dangers, Qin Hanchu could handle them himself.
Old Ghost and the other were in a different cabin, while Qin Hanchu and Ji Huairou were in a cabin by themselves.
"Can't you relax a bit? I'm not going to eat you," Ji Huairou said, vexed, as Qin Hanchu remained silent.
Qin Hanchu looked at Ji Huairou warily. "My master said that a woman in heat is like a tiger. A young man with such a woman needs to protect himself."
"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"You are a Grandmaster, how can I force you?"
"If you get eaten by me, it only means you're willing," Ji Huairou retorted, her face flushed.
