Chapter 2337 - 2340: The Perfect Fraud

The silent Gui Shu walked over, looking at Shen Qiang who was being held by the Mermaid Princess, and said, "Not only that, I also know that the real treasure vault is a space that only the Dragon Emperor can enter."

Gui Shu raised an eyebrow, speaking seriously, "So the moment I heard you say you could let those Sea Monsters choose, I realized something was off. And when you had that guy kneel to pick pearls, I suddenly noticed the passage became shorter."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Indeed, there is no such thing as a truly perfect deception in this world."

"No, your deception was perfect." Gui Shu looked at Ye Guyun, Ke Bizhu, and others who were tidying up, in awe, and said, "The huge golden door attracted everyone's attention, making us overlook space and distance while gazing upward."

"After opening the door, the terrifying pressure made us instinctively believe that there would be a treasure inside. And afterward, when you made that Great Sea Demon kneel, while the other Sea Monsters were snickering, their attention was on that Sea Demon, making it even less likely for anyone to notice anything unusual here."

"Not only that, the treasure vault was fake, but the items inside were truly valuable, so this deception is indeed perfect. As long as those old guys who have entered the Dragon Emperor's treasury before are not present, it is a perfect deception that can't be exposed."

Hearing this, Yu Jiang let go of Shen Qiang's collar and said, "Indeed, this despicable and cunning guy even fooled me. I didn't expect him to have the guts to make a move here! But, being so adventurous and reckless, one day you'll be outsmarted by your own cleverness."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I know many Great Sea Monsters don't accept me, and I know that if given a chance, there will definitely be Great Sea Monsters questioning me. But I'm also aware that the real old timers are sly and cunning; they wouldn't personally find trouble with me, so they won't possibly show up here. That means no one will see through my methods."

Gui Shu smiled, speaking earnestly, "Boss, you did it perfectly. If not for both Yu Jiang and I having received rewards from the Dragon Emperor before, we wouldn't have seen through all this, but..."

Gui Shu's face turned serious, saying, "If you had communicated with me a bit earlier, the arrangements here could be flawless, and all the Great Sea Monsters would be utterly convinced. But the way you've set it up now won't withstand scrutiny. When those old guys ask, they'll be even more convinced that you're not the Dragon Emperor."

Shen Qiang sighed and said, "It makes sense, but please have faith in my judgment. Even if I had arranged everything to look exactly like the treasure vault you've seen before, those who have doubts will continue to be skeptical no matter what they see."

Gui Shu remained silent.

The Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang also frowned wordlessly.

"Don't worry." At this moment, the beautiful Yu Ying, like a crescent moon, smiled and said, "Right now, Shen Qiang indeed doesn't have the ability to open the real Dragon Emperor's treasure, but believe me, give him some time, and I assure you, you will see a real Dragon Emperor!"

In an instant, both the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang and Gui Shu were stunned.

Especially Gui Shu, who suddenly took a step forward, watching Yu Ying with extreme vigilance, and asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Ying smiled but said nothing, suddenly transmitting her voice, "Worried about your little master? You should understand, he's living in another form, so just shut up and quietly wait for his return."

Instantly, Gui Shu's face changed dramatically.

Meanwhile, Yu Jiang watched the women gradually put away various weapons and mirrors, seeing Shen Qiang, after melting the two huge golden doors, throw the restored gold bricks and gold coins back into the passage, revealing the real Dragon Emperor's treasure, his gaze filled with shock.

"You're really a cunning bastard, building a fake vault outside the unopened treasure vault to deceive people; a kind-hearted person would never think of this."

Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "After I leave, someone will definitely come here to investigate, so you need to arrange for people to guard this place. Trust me, someone will try to find out everything about this place, identify this person, investigate his family's connections, and then let me know."

"Do you want to kill them?" Yu Jiang turned his head, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't be hasty; don't always resort to violence. We are civilized people. All you need to do is find out who is opposing me; leave the other matters to me."

Yu Jiang was silent for a moment, then said, "You're a despicable human."

"You should call me the righteous Dragon Emperor," Shen Qiang corrected.

Then, Shen Qiang turned to look at the Mermaid Princess Qian Ning, saying, "I have to head back soon. Do you want to stay and take care of your bald father, or go back with me?"

Qian Ning immediately became tense, holding Shen Qiang's arm tightly, then looked at Yu Jiang, "I think you're fine here."

Yu Jiang gave her a direct roll of the eyes, "The saying that a woman's heart is with an outsider is definitely true. Leave, all of you. Nothing will happen here; as long as I'm here, they won't dare to act out."

Casually tossing a small bottle to Yu Jiang, Shen Qiang calmly said, "There's an emergency pill in here for you. You're strong, but you can't resist neurotoxins, so be careful. If you die, no one will be left to compete with me for women."

The Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang chuckled, "Nalan Tianyu, she actually has a good impression of me. Seven days ago, I saw her in a sea area near the Ninja Country. She took out a subordinate of Tianzhao, and I escorted her away. If you truly care about her, I suggest you find her a different job. She's playing with fire, and a furious Tianzhao will kill her."

Shen Qiang frowned but then said, "I will pay attention to it."

Hearing this, the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang frowned and said, "Are you sure you don't want to stay here overnight and rest before heading back?"

Shen Qiang looked at the time and said, "If possible, I'd love to stay here for a year without caring about anything, but there's someone scheming against me, and I must hurry back. Otherwise, my Heshenghe might face big trouble."

"Do you need me to bring people over to help?" The Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang raised an eyebrow, "Even though most Sea Monsters are afraid of fire, in the face of absolute strength, they can be quite powerful on land too!"

Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "A good idea, but not necessary. I don't want you all to have too many entanglements with the demons of Heshenghe. If you get too close, I'd worry you might join forces to rebel against me."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sea Demon King Yu Jiang sighed and said, "Alright then, I'll send you off immediately."

"Before leaving, there's one more thing that needs to be done," Shen Qiang said.
