Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Have You Ever Seen Mountains of Gold and Seas of Silver?

Gold bars. Real gold bars!

Sun Shaolong’s Personal Guard carried them in, one by one, and stacked them up on site.

Utterly magnificent!

A true spectacle!

Everyone held their breath.

They watched, wide-eyed, as a wall of gold rose before them.

The gold bars were stacked high, and they were even stamped with the words: "Northern Domain Battle Department Special Supplies"!

Qin Tianxuan slowly rose to his feet.

His eyes burned with endless fury!

’Not only are they getting rich off Battle Department supplies,’ he thought, ’they’ve even stolen the emergency reserve funds for the warzone!’

Behind him, Marquis took out his phone to snap a photo, then said in a low voice, "Sir, according to military law, the evidence is conclusive. This is a capital crime."

Qin Tianxuan’s eye twitched. "Shatter his arrogance, then bring him to me for judgment."

With a heavy heart, he strode out of the hall, wanting nothing more than to roar his frustration at the heavens.

To everyone else in the hall, however, it looked as if he was simply admitting defeat.

A wave of mockery immediately erupted.

"The kid runs into a real powerhouse and immediately shows his true colors."

"Yeah, there’s no way he can compare to Young Master Sun!"

"I tried to give him my card earlier, and he looked so annoyed. Heh, as if I need his approval."

"Just a country bumpkin, after all!" Sun Shaolong said smugly, flicking his coat. "And I haven’t even started trying!"

Behind him, his Personal Guard brought in the rest of the gifts.

It was all money from selling off Northern Domain Battle Department supplies, so Young Master Sun spent it without a second thought.

Jade Peach Pearls, auspicious bracelets... all manner of treasures, both familiar and exotic, were piled high.

When had the people of Wuzhou District ever seen such a spectacle?

They all whipped out their phones, snapping pictures furiously. It instantly blew up their social media feeds.

Even other locals from the neighborhood couldn’t resist gathering outside the Chen Family Mansion, drooling as they stared at the gold bars inside.

Sun Shaolong snorted. "Personal Guard, protect the gold bars! Throw out anyone who doesn’t belong here!"

Chaos erupted.

Patriarch Chen and the second aunt were dumbfounded. They weren’t happy or excited—they were terrified.

No matter how foolish they were, they could still read the words stamped on the gold bars.

"Battle Department Special Supplies! Emergency Reserve Funds!" Patriarch Chen pulled out his phone with trembling hands and frantically searched for information.

This was all classified information. There wasn’t much about it online, but what little there was made its grave nature abundantly clear.

"Theft or trafficking of Battle Department special supplies is treated as treason, with the maximum penalty being immediate execution by firing squad!"

Patriarch Chen’s hand trembled, and he collapsed into his chair.

The second aunt grabbed her daughter’s hand. "We can’t accept this! This stuff will get our heads chopped off!"

As for the renowned "Flower of the Battle Department," Captain Chen Fengzhi, she was utterly aghast.

Her face was terrifyingly pale. ’It’s over,’ she thought. ’Our family is finished. That idiot... that fucking moron!’

At that moment, Young Master Sun was still gloating. "Where’d that Qin fellow go? Why isn’t he coming out? Did he run away?"

Marquis reappeared, casting a casual glance at the gold bars and other gifts. He chuckled. "What’s the hurry? The competition isn’t over yet, is it?"

Hm?

Sun Shaolong blinked. "With that paltry pile of gold ingots? You still want to compete? How can you possibly compete with me?"

Marquis turned and looked outside with a cold expression.

The crowd of onlookers had been dispersed. Across the way, a dozen large trucks bearing the emblem of the God of Wealth Hall appeared!

They were escorted by the Personal Guard of the War Pavilion!

Marquis clapped his hands once, and the dozen trucks from the Night Emperor’s God of Wealth Hall all blared their horns in unison!

After the deafening blast, the entire area fell silent.

No one knew what was happening.

Marquis clapped his hands again.

The men from the God of Wealth Hall stood in a neat row. "Marquis, we are ready, just as you ordered."

Marquis nodded, then turned to the stunned Sun Shaolong. "So smug over a single wall of gold? Have you ever seen a mountain of gold and a sea of silver?"

’A mountain of gold and a sea of silver?’

Sun Shaolong had just boasted that he could bring a mountain of gold and a sea of silver, but he only meant it as a figure of speech.

Marquis repeated the phrase, "A mountain of gold and a sea of silver!"

Sun Shaolong blinked. ’What’s this fucking idiot talking about? Did my gold bars scare him witless?’

The crowd roared with laughter.

The laughter grew louder and more raucous.

But their laughter was short-lived.

Outside, a golden light flared, flooding the entire building with its brilliance.

And beneath that golden light was an ocean of silver!

WOW!

HOLY SHIT!

Am I seeing things?!

Is this for real?

Everyone rushed outside.

There, on the ruins of the Chen Family’s warehouse, was a mountain of gold and a sea of silver!

A literal mountain of gold and a sea of silver!

The brilliant radiance of gold and silver surged toward the heavens!

People were unsteady on their feet, their hands outstretched, their eyes reflecting the shimmering light of gold and silver.

There was no longer any comparison. Sun Shaolong’s wall of gold bars, at most, was made of a hundred or so bars. The other side, on the other hand, had a goddamn mountain!

The jeweled tree atop the golden mountain alone—crafted from white jade and luminous pearls—eclipsed all of Young Master Sun’s gifts.

Marquis waved his hand, and the War Pavilion’s Personal Guard and the God of Wealth Hall’s men immediately concealed the mountain of gold and sea of silver with a large screen.

With a scornful laugh, Marquis walked over and leaned down to look at the pale-faced Young Master Sun. "Pardon me, but you lose."

Sun Shaolong, who had been sitting, struggled to his feet, his expression twisted with humiliation. "Who says I lost? I don’t accept it! If we were in the Northern Domain, I’d have you dead by now!"

Furious and humiliated, he was preparing to go back on his word!

Marquis sneered. "You fucking idiot. If we were in the Northern Domain, you’d have died countless times over by now! A bet’s a bet, and you honor it. Wasn’t it you who signed and thumbprinted this?"

Sun Shaolong’s eyes darted around. He suddenly waved his hand. "Clear everyone out! Surround this place! I suspect that Qin fellow’s assets are from an illicit source. I’m going to deal with this right here, right now!"

He was a sore loser, and now, in his rage, he was actually preparing to commit murder and robbery!
