Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

President Henry and the head of the Antiquities Bureau froze, instinctively glancing around.

The office doors and windows were locked, the walls were intact, the security system gave no warning, and there were no signs of anyone breaking in.

But Qin Quan's figure seemed to appear out of thin air in the center of the room, like a ghost.

Their pupils contracted sharply, and a tidal wave of emotions surged within them.

Can you walk through walls? Can you become invisible?

The presidential palace, with its top-level security, was rendered useless in the face of this young man.

"Who do you think you are?!"

Henry stood up abruptly, his aura of a long-time superior subtly emanating from him. His face darkened, and an extreme sense of crisis welled up within him.

Having been involved in politics for many years, he had never seen such a bizarre person.

Qin Quan completely ignored his imposing presence, his expression relaxed. He swaggered to the sofa and sat down, casually putting his feet on the coffee table. He looked lazy and harmless, just like an ordinary guest.

"I've taken the Weituo statue from the museum."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"It was originally a national treasure that was lost from our country, and I just returned it to its rightful owner."

As he spoke, he looked up at Henry, whose face was gloomy, and his tone suddenly turned cold.

"You'd better keep this under wraps and avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you won't see the sun rise tomorrow."

Using the calmest voice to say the harshest words.

A threat, a blatant threat.

When has Henry ever suffered such humiliation?

However, before he could react, Qin Quan had already pulled out a list from his pocket, which he had specially marked in English.

"Hold a global press conference immediately and issue a public statement that all artifacts on this list will be returned unconditionally."

"presumptuous!"

The head of the cultural relics bureau instantly lost his composure, roaring fiercely with a face full of hostility.

"Ignorant ants dare to cause trouble at the Presidential Palace, expecting us to return the cultural relics of the Chinese nation—wishful thinking!"

Qin Quan didn't even lift his eyelids, completely ignoring the other person, but his gaze was fixed on Henry with a half-smile, and he asked in a calm voice:

"Mr. President, do you think so too?"

Henry's heart pounded. Suppressing his fear, he spoke in a deep, menacing voice:

"I don't know what despicable methods you used to steal cultural relics and infiltrate the Presidential Palace, but I warn you, the Presidential Palace is not a place for you to run wild. Surrender immediately and you'll have a chance to live; otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"

"Oh?"

Qin Quan's lips curled into an increasingly sinister smile, and the last trace of gentleness in his eyes vanished completely.

"It seems I was too kind."

"Mercy? Do you intend to kill someone in the presidential palace?"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Quan had already raised his hand and pointed forward sharply, sending out a wisp of pure sword energy.

Whoosh!

The sword energy pierced through the air without leaving a trace, instantly penetrating the forehead of the person in charge of the cultural relics bureau!

His voice stopped abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Even in his dying moments, he couldn't believe that anyone would dare to kill someone at the heavily guarded presidential palace on a whim.

He fell straight to the ground, and warm blood quickly spread, staining the carpet red.

"You...you dare to..."

Whether it was anger or fear, Henry pointed at Qin Quan, his blood surging, and his whole body trembling.

Qin Quan remained calm, as if he had merely crushed an ant, without even a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

"Now, do you still think I'm joking?"

He slowly raised his eyes, his imposing presence pressing down on Henry.

"You can gamble your life once and see if I dare to kill you."

Sensing Qin Quan's terrifying killing intent, Henry finally became afraid.

He had no doubt that this kid really dared to kill him.

If you don't agree, he'll be the one lying on the ground.

If this is agreed upon, publicly returning the cultural relics of the Dragon Kingdom would be tantamount to publicly acknowledging the aggressive actions of the Aoya Kingdom back then.

Not only has Australia lost face, but it will also face the wrath and accountability of the White Eagle Alliance.

Faced with a dilemma, what should one choose?

I'll give you three seconds to think it over.

Qin Quan seemed to see right through Henry's mind, and without further ado, started the countdown.

No room for complacency, no room for leniency.

"three!"

He slowly raised his hand, and the Pure Yang Sword appeared out of thin air, its cold light chilling and its killing intent overflowing.

Today, he's here to cause trouble, not to seek peace or negotiate, so there's no need to be polite.

Anyone who disobeys will be killed with a single sword strike.

As for the consequences, that was not something he was considering.

"two!"

With a slight lift of the sword, it instantly locked onto Henry's brow.

Henry's momentum immediately crumbled, replaced by endless fear.

He could imagine that if he dared to say no, the Chunyang Sword would pierce his brow, and he would suffer the same fate as the head of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Extreme panic made him break out in a cold sweat, and his body trembled like a sieve.

"I...I promise!"

In those two short seconds, it felt like Henry had endured half a century of agonizing torment.

He's always the one who's in control; he's never suffered such humiliation before.

The chill of death seeped into his very bones, and he had no choice but to compromise.

"I will immediately hold a press conference and unconditionally return all cultural relics of the Chinese nation!"

"Half an hour."

Qin Quan's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"In half an hour, I want to see your public statement in major media outlets. Don't take any chances or try to play tricks; you can't afford the consequences."

"Yes, yes, I will never play any tricks."

After saying that, Qin Quan didn't look at him again, and with a flicker, he disappeared into thin air.

The room was empty, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

But the cold corpses and glaring bloodstains on the ground served as a stark reminder of what had just happened—real and terrifying.

He rubbed his eyes blankly; his back was already soaked in cold sweat, and his limbs were so weak that he couldn't stand up at all.

Is he a human or a ghost?

The thought spread wildly through his mind, and fear swept over him.

He dared not delay for a moment, and with trembling hands, he grabbed the landline phone on his desk and stammered out the order.

"Notify the Senate and the Information Bureau to immediately prepare for a global press conference. Publicly announce the free return of all cultural relics of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"Mr. President, what do you mean by this?"

"Enough talk, execute immediately."

"yes!"

……

Half an hour later.

The highest military command center in Australia and Asia.

All the guards fell to the ground innocently, and all the commanders were knocked unconscious, lying haphazardly on the ground.

The vast command center was deathly silent.

Qin Quan sat leisurely in the commander-in-chief's exclusive chair, his feet casually propped up on the table, his posture arrogant and his expression nonchalant.

On a giant electronic screen, footage of Henry's press conference was being broadcast live.

In front of the camera, Henry looked tired and stiff. As Qin Quan had asked, he publicly read out a statement about returning the cultural relics of the Dragon Kingdom.

"To promote friendly development between the two countries, Australia and Asia have voluntarily returned all cultural relics of China free of charge. The specific list is as follows..."

Looking at the clear list of cultural relics on the screen, Qin Quan smiled with satisfaction.

"She's quite sensible."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

If Henry does not do as he asks, today he will massacre the entire command center, destroy all of Australia's military equipment, and make Australia pay a heavy price.

The press conference has ended.

Qin Quan slowly stood up and picked up a red telephone from the table.

Less than five seconds after the call was connected, Henry's tired and tense voice came through the receiver.

"What is it?"

"Mr. President, you've worked hard. I'm very satisfied with your performance today."

Qin Quan spoke in a gentle tone, as if chatting with an old friend, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the table.

"To make sure you remember today's lesson perfectly, I've specially invited you to watch a fireworks display."
