Chen Sheng's words landed like shards of ice, plunging the grand hall into a deathly silence.
In an instant, the gazes of every core member of the Han Family snapped to Chen Sheng, their expressions a mixture of shock and fury.
They were shocked that this Captain Chen knew so much about the Hundred-Year Earth Heart Lotus. They were enraged by his blatant implication: obediently hand over the treasure that protected their clan, and the family might be spared.
Or, they could wait for the Jingwu Bureau to use the crime of colluding with the Demon Dao to uproot the Han Family, after which he would take the lotus for himself!
Hearing this, Li Xuanche's expression instantly darkened.
He had never imagined that Chen Sheng was also after this Spirit Medicine, or that his methods would be so direct and domineering. His own plans were now in ruins, and he couldn't help the swell of resentful anger he felt at having his prize snatched from under his nose.
