Francis answered seriously. Luo Chen's terrifying strength greatly increased the credibility of his words, and the expression on his face just now made Francis believe that it was true.

"Are all the idiots in the Kaslana family?"

Luo Chen laughed. Most of the Kaslana family members he'd met were, to varying degrees, hot-blooded idiots. He could only say that Kevin was inherently like that, only later he was ravaged by the Honkai.

"By the way, what about Otto's two little guys?"

"You know them?"

“Didn’t Karen tell you? I also taught her Chinese martial arts for a year.”

Luo Chen leaned back on the sofa. He had been teaching Karen for over a year. Did Francis really not know anything about it?

"So it was you who taught Karen."

Francis suddenly realized that Karen had never told him about this. However, Francis had indeed felt that Karen's physical fitness had improved significantly over the past year, and he had assumed it was due to her daily exercise.

"So Karen really didn't tell you?"

Luo Chen's lips twitched. Good heavens, Karen trusts him that much? No wonder Francis hasn't contacted him in a year.

"Where are those two now?"

Luo Chen asked Francis to call Karen and the others over. Before long, Karen and Otto appeared in the reception room.

"Karen, come here, your teacher has some questions for you."

Luo Chen waved to Karen, who walked over and immediately received a flick on the forehead from Luo Chen.

"You little fool, didn't you tell Mr. Francis what I taught you?"

"Didn't you tell us not to tell anyone, teacher?"

Karen rubbed her head, looking aggrieved. Only then did Luo Chen remember that he had told the two of them not to reveal the matter, fearing trouble.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Luo Chen patted Karen's head, telling her and Otto to sit down on the side, and gave Francis an apologetic look.

"Sorry, I forgot about that."

"It's alright, it's alright. I understand the reasoning; you don't want too many people to know you exist."

Francis waved his hands repeatedly, as if asking someone of the same generation as his ancestors to apologize to him would terrify him.

“I know everything about your situation. Is there anything I can do to help you? Just to repay the favor you did for saving me.”

"No need for that. Favors and such don't matter. I just did what I should have done."

"By the way, there's something I really need to ask you. Don't tell anyone else about my identity. Also, you were the one who destroyed all these Honkai Beasts that appeared today, understand?"

"I understand, I will get everything sorted out."

Francis nodded, and Luo Chen, seeing that they had finished talking, got up to go back.

"Mr. Luo Chen, won't you stay for a meal before you leave?"

Francis tried to persuade them to stay, saying it was already lunchtime and it wasn't his style to let a guest go home on an empty stomach, especially since he hadn't repaid Luo Chen's favor yet.

"Okay, that way I won't have to cook."

After the meal, Francis had Karen take Otto elsewhere and invited Luo Chen back to the reception room.

"Mr. Luo Chen, there are some things I'd like to show you."

Francis looked serious. When Luo Chen nodded, he got up and led Luo Chen to the basement, then to the door of the innermost secret room.

Francis opened the secret chamber and lit the oil lamps inside, illuminating everything within.

A painting hangs on the wall facing the secret room, depicting a man with long black hair, but his face is deliberately blurred.

"Isn't this... just a painting?"

Luo Chen walked to the side of the painting and examined it carefully. The person in the painting gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

"Holy crap! Old Black, isn't that you?"

Luo Chen recognized that the man in the painting was exactly the same size as Hei Chen, and even their clothing styles were identical.

"To be precise, it was you. I never expected Kevin to leave this painting here."

As Hei Chen spoke, he realized that the painting seemed to be a birthday gift from Gretchen to him, but he couldn't remember which one it was.

So this is me?

Luo Chen glanced sideways at Francis, who nodded. He had only remembered the painting during dinner, which explained why Luo Chen gave him the feeling that he knew him.

“This painting has been passed down from my ancestors, along with this weapon.”

Francis took out a metal box that was placed next to the secret room, and opened it to find a long knife inside.

Luo Chen took out a long sword. Judging from this series of events, this sword was probably the one he used before.

The long sword was drawn from its sheath; the blade was black with gold patterns and looked incredibly sharp.

"Made of Soul Steel?"

“That’s right, you created the core components yourself, but the overall design and manufacturing were done by Velvey.”

Luo Chen asked Hei Chen, who explained that he thought the knife had been taken away by Kevin or Hua, but he didn't expect it to appear here.

“The heads of our Kaslana family are always brought here and given a task that must be accomplished.”

Francis put down the box and faced Luo Chen solemnly.

"If you see the person in the painting, give him this knife."

"Oh, I see. No wonder you believed me so quickly."

With the long sword tucked into his waistband, Luo Chen looked at the painting on the wall and reached out to retract it into the imaginary space.

"I'll take this painting with me, is that alright?"

"It's alright, its mission has been accomplished, and there's no need for it to stay here any longer."

"That's it."

Luo Chen touched the hilt of the knife with his right hand and pinched his chin with his left, deep in thought.

"I really don't know what Kevin is up to."

Chapter 255 Void Treasury

"Otto, are you sure your family's sanctuary is here?"

In a dimly lit underground passage, Luo Chen followed Otto through the empty passage, the sound of leather shoes clicking on the ground echoing continuously.

"That's right, we'll be there soon."

Otto stopped in front of a door and pushed it open forcefully.

Light shone through the crack, and when Otto fully pushed open the door, Luo Chen saw several rows of neatly arranged candles and a stone table.

On the platform sits a golden cube, which radiates light, with two bands of light floating above it.

"Teacher, is this what you're looking for?"

"Hmm, this seems to have been brought from Asia by your first ancestor, right?"

Luo Chen looked at the Void Treasury with great interest, recalling what happened in the snowfield. He wished he could beat it up right away, but it didn't have a body, so he couldn't beat it up himself.

"That's right, legend has it that only those with the highest wisdom can break its seal."

"Is that right?"

As Luo Chen spoke, he patted Otto's head, gesturing for him to step forward.

"Go, Otto, your cheat code has been credited!"

"Teacher, what is a cheat/hack?"

Otto's emerald green eyes showed confusion. He didn't know what "cheat code" meant, but judging from Luo Chen's expression, it must be something good.

"You don't need to worry about that, just reach out and touch it."

Otto did as instructed. The moment his finger touched the Void Treasury, its surface shimmered with golden light, and the cube shrank inward, transforming into a ball of flame-shaped liquid.

"The one who broke the seal again after two thousand years... I never expected it to be a child."

Otto looked at the Void Treasury that had made the sound and sent a distress signal to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen received a signal from Otto, cleared his throat, and spoke with a hint of amusement.

"Should I call you the Void Treasury, or Prometheus?"

"Lord Chenchenchen?!"

Void Treasury was so frightened that it stammered. This didn't seem to be a pre-civilization. How could it be that it could see living dust?

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

Luo Chen crossed his arms and, upon hearing that familiar voice, his fists hardened involuntarily; he really wanted to throw a punch.

"No, that's not true."

The Void Treasury drifted towards Luo Chen, but was stopped by him.

"Let's get down to business first. This guy's name is Otto, my student. You'll be working with him from now on."
