Chapter 523 - Enter The Dragon (1/2)
Chapter 523 Enter The Dragon
The city-state of Singapore had millions of residents inside its seven hundred square kilometer land. Its population was mostly of Chinese descent. Back in the 80s, it was one of the Four Asian Tigers and to this day, it was still the most important center hub of economy and world maritime transportation largely due to its control over the Malacca Strait.
The headquarters of the Dragon Hall was located just on the outskirts of the city in a skysc.r.a.per called The Dragon Plaza.
This seventy-story skysc.r.a.per was the tallest building in Singapore. It rose three hundred meters into the air and pierced the sky like a sharp sword. It’s hulking presence dwarfed all the nearby structures.
“Creak…”
A Gulfstream G650 landed on the tarmac of the Singapore International Airport. A girl with breathtaking icy beauty elegantly emerged out from the plane.
The girl was wearing oversized coffee-colored sungla.s.ses and a beige jacket. Adding on her perfectly-fitted jeans and pair of cowboy boots, she looked commanding and confident as ever.
A large group of guards followed the girl, hiding among them were Chen Fan and Xie Yan wearing disguises.
“Sect master, are you sure Wu Guanchao is in Singapore?”
Xie Yan asked Chen Fan using his Soul Energy.
The Immortal State Warriors were extremely perceptive to soul energy. They could quickly sense the presence of any other Immortal State Warrior in the vicinity. It was usually considered an affront to even trespa.s.sing onto the territory of another Immortal State Warrior, so Xie Yan had not projected his soul energy out to search for his target.
“He should be here. But something is off about his presence. I don’t want to alert him, so I am not going to pry too hard.”
Chen Fan said calmly.
His Divine Will was much more potent than Soul Energy. However, an Immortal State Warrior could still sense its presence when it is too close.
“Let’s head to The Dragon Plaza.”
A fleet of black Mercedes-Benz SUVs had lined up outside of the airport, waiting for their arrival.
Once Guo Nuannuan gave them the go-ahead, the bodyguards got into the car and drove away. Chen Fan and Xie Yan both got into the same vehicle with Guo Nuannuan.
As soon as the doors were closed, Guo Nuannuan took off her sungla.s.ses and batted her lashes.
“What’s the plan? Guns blazing, pincer attack or are we going to draw them out?”
“There is no ‘we’, it’s only me and Xie Yan. You are not coming with us.”
Chen Fan answered distractedly.
“You…”
Guo Nuannuan’s temper was going to flare, but words got stuck in her throat as soon as she remembered that Chen Fan was a murderous overlord.
She changed her tone and said: “I can help with locating Wu Guanchao for you. I am from the branch of the Guo Family of Singapore, I can find out where Wu Guanchao is easy.”
“Thank you, but no. He is inside The Dragon Plaza—that, I already know. I am just unfamiliar with his presence and unsure if that really is him.”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows.
“We might as well head in directly. You can take on much more powerful foes than Wu Guanchao.”
Xie Yan said calmly.
Xie Yan lived up to his reputation as a veteran Immortal State Warrior. He was slightly taken aback at first by the turn of events, but by now, he had already gathered himself.
The fleet quickly arrived at The Dragon Plaza. Being the Headquarters of the Dragon Hall, the security was extra stringent here. There was a checkpoint for every a hundred meters, each was guarded by soldiers in black uniforms with a dragon emblem. Chen Fan had even noticed a few Internal Force Users among the soldiers.
“I am from the Guo Family and I am here to meet my father, Guo Shoukang.”
Guo Nuannuan spoke through the open window.
Guo Shoukang was one of the leaders of the Guo family. Guo Nuannuan had visited the Dragon Hall a few times alongside her father, so her name was registered in the security system. She was allowed into the building with only two guests: Chen Fan and Xie Yan.
“It’s quite splendid here.”
Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and ambled into the building.
He had used a disguise of sixteen years old while Xie Yan wore the disguise of a hunch-backed old servant.
“We paid dearly for all of this. Many of my friends who fought alongside me are dead, but they had laid the foundation for Dragon Hall in Southeast Asia. I couldn’t bear the thought of someone from the inside dismantling all that we had fought and died for.”
Xie Yan exclaimed vehemently.
“Isn’t that Guo Nuannuan? Why are you here? Ah… I guess you have finally agreed to become my daughter-in-law?”
A group of men emerged from the building as soon as Chen Fan’s party was through security. A middle-aged man suddenly spoke loudly to Guo Nuannuan.
Chen Fan recognized that this man was the Grandmaster from Malaysia: Leng Jianfeng.
However, Leng Jianfeng couldn’t see through Chen Fan and Xie Yan’s disguise, instead, he gazed at Guo Nuannuan with a warm smile.
“Nice to meet you, Uncle Leng.”
Guo Nuannuan replied with an aloof nod.
Someone among Leng Jianfeng’s entourage suddenly caught her attention. She blenched and let out a stifled cry.
“Dad!”
“Nuannuan, you are finally back.”
Regret and embarra.s.sment were written all over Guo Shoukang’s face.
Without his consent, Leng Tong would never be engaged with Guo Nuannuan. However, the family’s future was at stake, so he must do what was best for the clan even if it meant selling out his daughter.
