With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

In the study, Nangong Wu entered the secret passage and was stopped by an iron gate.

She pushed the iron gate hard, but couldn't open it. It seemed that Bei Chenzhan had closed the gate from the inside.

"Master, I'm here to help." Eileen appeared from the spatial dimension, standing in front of the iron gate, her gaze scanning the gate.

"Master, this is a trap door. The mechanism is set inside. Should we use a chainsaw to force it open?"

"No need, let's wait a bit." Nangong Wu raised her hand. Beichen Zhan should be out soon; there was no need to alarm anyone.

"Alright then." Eileen returned to the space.

Nangong Wu stood in front of the iron gate and waited. About ten minutes later, Beichen Zhan came out.

As soon as the door opened, Nangong Wu swiftly and unexpectedly knocked Beichen Zhan unconscious with a knife.

She caught Bei Chenzhan as he fell to prevent him from making a noise that would alert the people outside.

"Nangong Wu, let me out too," Bei Chenyan's voice came from outside.

"You don't need to come out." Nangong Wu kicked the person on the ground. "Should we kill him?"

"He poses no threat to me now, so keeping him around is still useful," Bei Chenyan said.

He can only die if his power is completely eradicated.

Nangong Wu walked through the iron gate, took out a powerful handheld lamp and shone it inside. She saw that there were steps leading down to a large underground dark room.

She first inspected the underground chamber, which was about 400 square meters in size, comparable to the treasury of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The surrounding walls were made of bluestone, and there were several stone pillars with coiled dragons in the middle. Shelves and cabinets were placed against the walls, displaying various precious objects.

In the middle were rows of mahogany and sandalwood boxes of different sizes.

Nangong Wu thought for a moment, then used her mind to move Beichen Yan out of the space.

There were so many things in this dark room. Although she couldn't see what was in the box, it must be something good that Bei Chenzhan had put there. She wanted him to see it too.

Bei Chenyan's expression darkened when he saw so many things.

"Damn it!"

If these chests were filled with gold and silver treasures, they would contain more money than the national treasury.

Aiqi and Erin also came out, and their eyes widened when they saw the huge underground chamber and all the things inside.

"Many of these things are comparable to a national treasury."

Their eyes scanned the boxes like two scanning machines.

"These boxes are full of gold and silver."

"There is a guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) inside."

"This box contains jade artifacts..."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan unscrewed the iron lock on a box with his bare hands, opened the lid, and revealed that it was full of gold ingots.

He picked up a gold ingot, his eyes cold.

This amount of gold and silver jewelry is more than the Emperor's private treasury and the national treasury combined. How much of the people's wealth must have been drained from their coffers?

Nangong Wu walked over and said, "It seems that this Prince Jing is even better at accumulating wealth than you. No wonder he's unwilling to be just a prince subordinate to you."

"I've been away from Kyoto for the past few years, and he's really treating the entire Southern Qi Kingdom as his own." Bei Chenyan gritted his teeth.

"What do you plan to do with these valuables?" Nangong Wu asked him.

There are too many things, all of which were obtained by exploiting the blood and sweat of the people of Nanqi. It is up to him to make the decision.

"It's all ill-gotten gains, let's keep it for our children." Bei Chenyan decided not to publicly expose these assets.

While making it public could punish Bei Chenzhan, the money would have to go into the national treasury, making their trip tonight pointless.

"Alright then." Nangong Wu raised her hand and put the boxes containing gold and silver jewelry into her spatial storage.

Since it was given to the children by him, then we should accept it.

"Master, these baskets are filled with firethorns," Aiqi pointed to a corner.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan went over.

Seeing dozens of baskets piled up in that corner, I immediately spotted the fire thorns inside.

Nangong Wu picked up a caltrop to examine it; its workmanship was very rough, so its power was probably just so-so.

"Bei Chenzhan has made considerable preparations in order to seize the throne."

Bei Chenyan's eyes turned cold. "He's courting death."

With a slight thought, Nangong Wu put the items away.

The items aren't great, but they're useful enough to deal with the people here.

She walked up to the cabinets. "That small mahogany box that Bei Chenzhan just took must contain something important."

"Master, it's in this cabinet." Aiqi's eyes scanned the small mahogany box, and she pointed to a large cabinet.

"I'll do it." Bei Chenyan walked over and twisted off the lock.

Nangong Wu also came over and saw Bei Chenyan open the drawer, inside which was the mahogany box that Bei Chenzhan had just taken down.

"Pack everything up, we'll talk about it when we get back." Bei Chenyan handed her the small box.

"That works too." Nangong Wu swept her thoughts across the box, and it disappeared from his hand.

Then, she took everything off the metal shelf. She didn't even bother to look at what was in the cabinet, and she took the cabinet away as well.

"Tonight will be another fruitful night," Aiqi said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Nangong Wu used her mind to send them all into her spatial dimension, and she and Bei Chenyan quickly left.

The two went up the steps and out of the iron gate, where Bei Chenzhan was still lying on the ground.

Bei Chenyan's eyes were cold and piercing as he stepped on Bei Chenzhan's calf with a slight force.

A crisp "snap" sound.

If his leg is broken, he can no longer run around and cause trouble.

"Ah!" Bei Chenzhan was awakened by the pain, let out a pig-like scream, and then fainted from the pain again.

"Hurry up." Nangong Wu took out a pistol with a silencer attached.

Bei Chenzhan made such a loud noise that the six people outside must have heard it.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped out of the secret room, the six guards waiting outside rushed into the study.

Nangong Wu raised her gun and pulled the trigger, firing six shots in quick succession, each hitting a vital spot, and all six men fell down.

With a thought, she stored the six corpses into her spatial storage. "Aiqi, Erin, throw them into the crematorium."

These six people were shot; their bodies cannot be left here to avoid revealing their identities.

"Understood!" Aiqi replied.

Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan leaped onto the roof and quickly left the Jing Prince's Mansion.

Back in the courtyard where Donggong Nangong Wu lived, Beichen Yan said, "Let's go back and rest first. We'll deal with the little box tomorrow."

"Okay." Nangong Wu yawned, waved to him, and said, "You can go back too!"

Bei Chenyan watched her enter the room with a smile in his eyes before turning to leave.

The next day.

Nangong Wu got up earlier than usual, wanting to go to Yikun Palace to check on Emperor Nanqi's health first.

"Young Master Huo," Wei Yang, who was standing guard outside, cupped his hands in greeting. "His Highness the Crown Prince has gone to preside over the court assembly and has not yet returned."

Nangong Wu nodded. "I know, we don't need to wait for him."

She arrived at Yikun Palace and was taking the temperature of Emperor Nanqi when Bei Chenyan arrived.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

Nangong Wu was somewhat surprised to see that he had dismissed the court so early.

Bei Chenzhan's leg was broken by him, and so many treasures were lost. It is likely that this will cause a stir in the entire Jade Dragon City today.
