《Rise of the White Dragon 》Chapter 167: What's in the Safe?
Advertisement
Before approaching the entrance to the island, Luan already changed his appearance to Valter's appearance. However, he "disguised" himself by putting on a half mask that covered his eyes and a little bit of his nose.
On the speedboat only one person was inside it. He was a young boy in his 20's and was very well groomed.
Although he did not know the surroundings, Luan, after having searched through the memories of Valter and Leon, knew that there was a famous nightclub not far away. From the young man's attire and age, he guessed that the boy's intention was to go to the nightclub.
In silence, without drawing the boy's attention, 'Valter' entered the sea and swam in the direction of the motorboat. With a strong impulse, he was able to jump directly into the boat while dripping seawater.
"P-Patriarch?!" Almost shaking with fright at the unexpected appearance of "Patriarch Valter", the boy screamed in fear, but sighed with relief when he recognized the other party.
"It is good that you are here, but unfortunately..." 'Valter' said in an icy tone, "you must die."
Luan's hands were agile, and using Qi he took a fishing knife from the corner of the launch, using a quick movement to take the boy by surprise by stabbing the knife very close to his heart.
The arteries were almost severed and the boy's mind was easily overpowered when he lost control of his emotions due to pain. Luan made him imagine that he would die, because his heart 'was' beaten... However, what would actually happen, would be a false death which 'Valter' would not imagine that he had missed his heart.
After that, he left the boy's body in the boat and reached the limit of the barrier. Placing the talisman two feet above his head, a door began to open. It was like a door that opened like a French door that opens in the middle, and it was possible to know that it was a door due to the fact that the landscape completely changed when looking through the doorway.

Going through the door and storing the talisman, Luan saw many boats and ships on the side of the island. Even from a distance, it was possible to see gigantic buildings and constructions. There was even a beautiful palace over three stories high. It looked like a fairytale palace, with detailings in the shape of half moons along it.
Luan was not visible to people now. He used an ability that makes him very much like a chameleon, however, it was even more sophisticated and also hid his aura. It was almost impossible for anyone to notice him now.
Because of the time zone, even after hours of traveling throughout the evening, it was now night in Germany. It was even easier to stay hidden because of this, even though the island was very well lit.
Valter's room was in the palace. It was a huge room. Luan, disguised as Valter, flew up to it and entered through the window. As it was a safe and hidden place, there was no strict security and as Valter was not present, the room was empty.
In the bedroom, Luan searched Valter's belongings without making noise or leaving fingerprints. The number of valuable objects was very large, even a presidential chair was observable, made of 24k gold.
Not interested in these things, Luan wanted things that had higher values, like precious stones, or special metal like metal from meteors.
Of course, he also couldn't carry much, so just things that were for Second Order cultivators he was planning to take.
Sitting on the floor, Luan concentrated on using his hearing and extra sensory perception. With that, he could now 'see' and hear everything that happened in the Becker Clan.
"Sigh~"
Although he already knew, it was strange when he saw it: In the mansion there were many women living together. There were around 50 women and they were all members of Valter's harem. Among them there was one that was older than the others; she was Leon's mother, and from the aura, Luan knew that she had no talent in cultivation.

After searching this mansion, he saw nothing of value, and stopped looking, instead searching the homes of the elders.
While searching, Luan discovered some rare treasures such as precious stones, rare herbs and even pills, talismans, potions, weapons, and armor. Even high-powered firearms and ancient relics were among the items, but not all of them had Qi power. Among the various things, what most caught Luan's attention was the nucleus that was the pillar of the formation that surrounded the whole island. Although not entirely made of a single precious stone, one in particular was the size of a gas canister that was found in almost every home back in Brazil.
'As expected, only something like this makes so much work worthwhile...' However, the stone was very well watched by elders of the Second Order. As strong as Luan was, he did not want to get into a fight against several people in the Second Order.
This was mainly because this clan specialized in mind attacks. As strong as Luan's mind was, if it were constantly assaulted, he would end up showing flaws, especially if there were several attacks at the same time.
The current situation was not favorable. It was necessary to wait for the perfect moment to steal the central core of the formation. However, in the meantime, he could steal- borrow to never return the things of the elders among the others that had any real value.
"Madam, I am saying the Patriarch is not back yet. It is very likely that he will not be back anytime soon." A soft, slightly harsh voice reached Luan's ears.
"That's why I'm going to his room," another woman's voice said in a nonchalant tone.
"Seriously, you must be crazy." The first woman to speak said a little loudly.
Covering the mouth of the accompanying maid, she said, "Shhh! If they discover us, you will be my accomplice."
"Damn..." Cursing in a low voice, the maid could only give in and accompany the first concubine.
When the door was opened, Luan had already gone into hiding and closed the window.
The first concubine frowned. 'I must be imagining things...' She swore that she had smelled a masculine scent, and it was recent, and clearly not from the Patriarch. Perhaps, she had not smelled the scent of a man's body for so long and was now hallucinating?
Shaking her head, the first concubine brushed that line of thought out of her mind and started pulling out a rug next to the bed and took out a string around her neck that had a key.
Below the rug was something metallic, much like a safe. It was very likely that it was, in fact, a safe.
Luan who transformed himself into something like a chameleon, retracting his aura and smell, and continued to watch with interest.
"Ah?"
"Madam, what happened?" The maid, who was very nervous, heard the first concubine grunt with displeasure, and asked a question worriedly.
"Damn it, he changed the lock!" Not containing her anger, the first concubine ended up cursing out loud.
"M-Madam, you're being very loud! Speak quietly... We'd better go. If they find out what we're doing, our heads will roll." The maid made a cutting motion against her throat and warned the other woman with great fear.
Despite the first concubine's unwillingness to leave, she left with the maid after putting the rug back in place. Using their auras to sense people nearby, and sensing that some guards were heading in that direction, the two left the room quickly.
