Wang Teng disregarded him though. His words were directed at Cao Hongtu. His reaction caused Cao Guan to feel humiliated.

However, he didn’t dare to refute him. He knew that if he spoke again, Wang Teng would act on his words.

Cao Hongtu ignored Cao Guan. He was entirely disappointed in his son. He stared intently at Wang Teng and forced his words out of his teeth. “You’re good!”

One could tell that he was trying his best to control his anger, but he failed.

“I am indeed good.” Wang Teng nodded.

“Hmph!” Cao Hongtu snorted. He stopped wasting time talking to Wang Teng and walked out of the Nangong Residence with a hideous expression.

Cao Wu, Cao Ling, and the others followed him. Although the rest of the Cao family was unwilling, they knew they couldn’t stay any longer. Talk was useless. They could only leave.

“Wait,” Wang Teng suddenly said.

“What else do you want?” Cao Hongtu turned and scoffed.

“I want to make sure that you didn’t bring anything that belongs to the Nangong family,” Wang Teng said.

“This is outrageous!” Cao Hongtu felt humiliated. His face turned red, and his heaven-stage aura surged out.

“Hmph!” An Lan snorted and stepped out, blocking in front of Wang Teng. He also released his aura.

Boom!

The two waves of auras collided in mid-air, their impact sweeping through the residence.

Cao Hongtu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps back before he stabilized himself. His expression was distorted.

He stared at An Lan with fear in his eyes.

In Flaming River World, he had worked with Sinclamon to resist this mecha heaven-stage martial warrior. However, their abilities were suppressed to the cosmos stage, so he couldn’t see his real power.

When both sides fought using their heaven-stage ability, Cao Hongtu finally understood how powerful An Lan was.

Even Guardian Ming Cheng glanced at An Lan in surprise. He was astounded.

He’s powerful!

Guardian Ming Cheng realized why Wang Teng had called this mecha over. His ability was top-tier even among heaven-stage martial warriors.

With him as his bodyguard, Cao Hongtu would admit defeat even if he wasn’t around.

Cao Guan and Cao Ling didn’t know An Lan’s exact power. They only learned that he was a heaven-stage martial warrior after seeing Cao Hongtu retreating. Besides, he was more powerful than their father. Their expressions changed, and disbelief filled up their faces.

They didn’t expect Wang Teng to have such a powerful person beside him.

Was he honestly a native from a remote planet? Why would this heaven-stage martial warrior listen to him?

The Cao family was puzzled. At the same time, they grew more fearful of him.

“Senior Brother Cao, don’t be reckless. The residence is mine. If you damage anything, you’ll need to compensate me,” Wang Teng said.

Cao Hongtu almost vomited blood from anger.

Ming Cheng was speechless. He felt that Wang Teng was an evil young man. He could anger someone to death.

Although An Lan was close to Wang Teng, he also felt that this guy was shameless.

“Senior Brother Cao, don’t be angry. This is just a formality. If y’all didn’t take anything, I won’t hold you back,” Wang Teng said indifferently.

“Sir Cao, you should cooperate,” Guardian Ming Cheng said.

“Alright, I’ll wait here.” Cao Hongtu took a deep breath. He felt exasperated.

Wang Teng walked in and pretended to inspect the room. In reality, the person doing the job was Round Ball. As an intelligent lifeform, it kept a record of everything although many years had passed.

Indeed, many things were missing. Many of them were from the Nangong family’s collection.

“Senior Brother Cao, let’s calculate the loss properly.” Wang Teng turned and smiled.

Cao Hongtu felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Wang Teng’s expression. He had a bad feeling.

“There used to be a priceless Mermaid Pearl in the lobby. It’s the treasure of the mermaids, but it’s gone now,” Wang Teng said.

Cao Hongtu had a deep impression of the pearl. He had gifted it to someone. What he didn’t understand was how Wang Teng knew about it since he had never been to the Nangong Residence before.

This didn’t make sense!

“Bullshit, why would we take anything from the Nangong Residence?” Cao Guan shrunk behind Cao Hongtu and shouted with guilt.

“Do you need me to show you the evidence?” Wang Teng said.

Cao Hongtu’s expression changed slightly. He wasn’t stupid. Through Wang Teng’s composed expression, he knew that the other party was confident. If he refused to admit it and he took out the evidence, they would be embarrassed in the end.

His reputation might be affected if news spread that he took the private possessions of the Nangong Family.

Originally, as Nangong Yue’s disciple, no one cared if he took them. However, things were different now. Wang Teng was the baron, so everything here belonged to him.

People would label him shameless if they knew a heaven-stage martial warrior did such a thing.

“It’s alright. I’ll compensate for the things I took.” Cao Hongtu gritted his teeth.

“That’s good. I know that my senior brother is not a thief,” Wang Teng replied with a smile.

This was a direct stab to the heart!

He didn’t leave any path of retreat for Cao Hongtu.

“I’ll return all of them.” Cao Hongtu turned and left. He didn’t want to stay any longer. He wished he could bury himself.

“I’ll make a list for you. Remember to look through it,” Wang Teng shouted behind him.

Cao Hongtu paused for a second. Then, he hastened his pace.

“Oh right, I’m throwing a banquet for the other nobles tomorrow. Remember to come!” Wang Teng added.

Cao Hongtu stumbled. He finally reached the entrance and hurriedly staggered out of everyone’s sight.

Guardian Ming Cheng and An Lan were caught between laughter and tears. They felt that Wang Teng was brutal. How could he provoke Cao Hongtu to this state?

The Cao family left the Nangong Residence dejectedly.

Many families sent their men to watch over the Nangong Residence. Some sighed while others gloated when they saw this scene.

They felt pity for the Cao Family. No one expected them to land in this state.

…

In the Nangong Residence.

“Everything is settled, so I’ll take my leave now,” Guardian Ming Cheng said.

“Thank you,” Wang Teng replied.

“You don’t have to thank me. You could solve this issue without me.” Guardian Ming Cheng glanced at An Lan and waved his hand. “I have sent the information of your fief to your virtual network. Please check. The relevant documents have been processed, so this galaxy is now under your name.”

Then, he disappeared on the spot.

“This Guardian Ming Cheng is powerful,” An Lan said with a glow in his eyes.

“How powerful?”

“Just a little less than me,” An Lan replied proudly.

“Tsk!” Wang Teng rolled his eyes.

An Lan didn’t mind. He chuckled.

Wang Teng glanced around him and felt emotional. “I have a place to stay. I don’t have to stay in other people’s homes anymore.”

“You jumped from a civilian to a noble!” An Lan exclaimed as he sized up his surroundings. “This is a little empty. There’s no one serving you. Besides that, everything is perfect.”

“Makes sense.” Wang Teng touched his chin.

“You can visit the slave market and take a look there. There are slaves from all races there. With your current wealth, you can buy as many as you want. You can even buy planetary-stage slaves or higher.” Round Ball’s voice was heard in his mind.

“Slaves?” Wang Teng frowned.

Slaves felt a little far away to him.

Well, it sounds exciting to have beauties from all races, right?

Cough, I’m not that kind of person, Wang Teng replied in his mind.

“What are you thinking?” Round Ball asked.

“Nothing,” Wang Teng said firmly.

“You should take note of this. You’re inviting the nobles tomorrow. You need slaves to serve everyone. Others might look down on you if you don’t have any slaves,” Round Ball said.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll visit the slave market later.” Wang Teng nodded hurriedly.
