Chapter 852 - 801: No Need for That!

Provincial Government Compound.

The Rolls-Royce finally parked in the spot outside the main office building.

Upon seeing Qin Fan and Chang Yuanyi get out of the car,

everyone in sight couldn’t help but become tense.

"Master Qin, Young Master Chang!"

"Master Qin, Young Master Chang!"

"Master Qin, Young Master Chang!"

Wherever they passed.

No matter their rank.

Everyone stopped to greet the two.

In response.

Qin Fan and Chang Yuanyi both smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

They took the elevator directly to the floor where Chang Haisheng’s office was located.

As they passed the reception room, Chang Yuanyi paused, grinning obsequiously, "Well, Master Qin, I don’t have the qualification to go in with you! I’ll just wait for you here in the reception room!"

"Alright, wait here!" Qin Fan patted Chang Yuanyi’s shoulder.

Qin Fan, with a calm heart, walked boldly toward the chief’s office.

He politely knocked on the door.

Then, without waiting for a response, he pushed it open.

"Mr. Qin!" Chang Yuanyi’s father, Chang Haisheng, immediately nodded and called out.

"Mm, hello Uncle Chang!" Qin Fan smiled harmlessly.

"Comrade Haisheng, please step out for now!"

Wang Anshi spoke from the chair, standing up.

"Yes!"

With a creak-!

As Chang Haisheng pulled the door shut behind him.

the office door was tightly closed.

"Mr. Qin, I have long admired your name! Pleased to meet you!"

Staring at Qin Fan with a smile, old Comrade Wang said with a hearty laugh.

"I thought this day would come later than expected! I thought you’d ask me into the Forbidden City for a chat sooner, but you surprised me, haha!" Qin Fan shook his head disapprovingly.

His heart didn’t flutter with nerves just because Wang Anshi was standing opposite him.

Speaking casually, he strolled over to sit on the sofa.

"You are indeed as legendary as rumored, quite arrogant!"

Qin Fan’s attitude didn’t catch Wang Anshi by surprise.

With a shake of his head and a sigh, he walked around the desk and also sat down on the sofa opposite Qin Fan.

"Whether it’s legendary or not is meaningless to say, I’m sure you already have all the data on me memorized! As for arrogance, does it really need to be said? Get to the point, no need for pleasantries!"

Shaking his head slightly in mockery, Qin Fan spoke indifferently without indulging in idle chatter.

"It seems you still hold a grudge!"

Not minding Qin Fan’s aloof demeanor, Wang Anshi sighed while looking him in the eye.

"You misunderstand! Although I’m not one to hold grudges or plot revenge, if I were truly aggrieved, I would have retaliated long ago. So, I hold no grudge against you! Surprisingly, I managed to swallow this down!"

Crossing his legs, he looked at the seemingly honest and amiable face and said blandly.

"Every family has a difficult scripture to recite, and in one’s position, one must consider their responsibilities! Even if your heart does harbor resentment, I understand—it’s only human! But I hope you can also understand our perspective!" Wang Anshi retracted his usual kind smile, speaking urgently.

"Understanding you backstabbing us? Understanding you betraying us?"

With a scornful scoff, Qin Fan taunted sarcastically.

This left Wang Anshi momentarily speechless.

Looking at Wang Anshi’s dumbfounded expression, Qin Fan shook his head and laughed mockingly again.

"You want to punish me, I understand, and I’ve prepared myself mentally for facing your retribution! But to think you’d eliminate me through werewolves and vampires, is that your inscrutable scripture? Is that your stance? Well, this method is understandable, but you shouldn’t have said those words to me, it gives me the impression that you...! Enough, no point in saying more, let’s get to the reason I’m here!"

"Hmm, since you’ve put it that way, I’ll cut to the chase! I’m here for two reasons: First, to apologize! To apologize on behalf of the Forbidden City! For attempting to remove you using foreign forces, I admit, it was impulsive and poorly considered! A mistake is a mistake, I have no excuses!"

Wang Anshi didn’t try to explain further or cover up, knowing well that Qin Fan was already fully aware of the situation.

"No need! I don’t need any apology, it’s just that you haven’t crossed my bottom line yet; if you do, a thousand apologies won’t suffice! I would wash away the Forbidden in blood as a means of vengeance! So, let’s move on to the second point!" Qin Fan interrupted decisively.

Even with Wang Anshi sitting right before him.

Qin Fan spoke without any reserve.

Perhaps he no longer felt the need for any restraint.

Listening to Qin Fan’s outrageous and bold words, Wang Anshi felt a deep bitterness inside.

He didn’t expect Qin Fan to show no respect.

But what could he do?

No matter how harsh Qin Fan’s words were, what could they do?

With a silent sigh, he continued, "Alright, onto the second point then! I’m sure you’re also aware of the current turmoil in the Martial Arts World! Each country has its own civilian forces, its own second world, like Japan’s Ninja Yin Yang Masters, America’s Superpower Users, Korea’s Hypnotists, and Russia’s Werewolves, etc. The existence of this second world is also a representation of a nation’s strength because, in the face of war, every citizen becomes a soldier! That’s why Huaxia tacitly acknowledges and grants certain privileges to the Martial Arts World, but now, the Martial Arts World is suffering from a catastrophic massacre!

If the Martial Arts World takes a critical hit or even collapses, it would mean the nation’s shadow security risks would reach catastrophic levels! There are many who covet this nine million square kilometers of Royal Territory, and if infiltrated by foreign forces, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Now, an organization named the Heavenly Dao Institute has emerged out of nowhere and initiated a merciless slaughter in the Martial Arts World, conducting a sweeping encirclement! Concerning this issue, Hua Xiaotian already reported it in the capital yesterday morning, admitting that the current strength of the Guardian Institute is hard to contend with! This means that in the Martial Arts World’s chaos, it’s not just the Martial Arts World that faces disaster, but the Guardian Institute is threatened too!

Because they have no reason to retreat, even knowing that ahead lies an abyss of no return, even knowing it’s a suicidal mission, their identity and the Guardian Institute’s mark fated them to not take even a half step back knowing it meant their death!

I was initially planning to invite the former Guardian Institute to emerge to resist this impending catastrophe, but unfortunately, the wanderlust few elders are nowhere to be found! Since the start of the chaos in the Martial Arts World three days ago, no worldly experts have appeared to aid the Martial Arts World.

Thus, I am deeply worried, without any power to rely on, after much thought, looking at the current world, the only one I see a glimmer of salvation in is you, Mr. Qin!"

"So your intent is to ask me to intervene and help the Martial Arts World escape this disaster?"

Before Wang Anshi could finish, Qin Fan interrupted playfully, with a teasing tone.
