Those who know Chi Yang Supreme mostly know that he and his wife Nalisha share a deep affection.

Chi Yang is a man and has the common flaws of men, but when Nalisha was alive, he never brought women from outside home.

The Empire encourages childbirth, and Chi Yang has children outside, but he has never taken those descendants home to raise.

When it comes to money, he hasn’t shortchanged those non-marital children, yet he absolutely won’t upset his wife.

After Nalisha’s death, many women have maintained a relationship with Chi Yang Supreme, but he hasn’t remarried.

In short, he isn’t an absolutely faithful husband, but he did truly care for his wife.

For ordinary people in the Empire, such marital affection is nothing praiseworthy, yet Chi Yang is Supreme.

The Supreme is a presence at the top of society, adored by many, and ordinary marriage contracts hold no binding power over them.

Compared to most Supremes, Chi Yang achieving this is already very rare.

So when he says it, it truly comes from the heart.

But the Paranoid snorted, "My things have become your dead wife’s relic, isn’t having some face difficult?"

This time, he spoke of "my" things.

Yet Chi Yang didn’t notice this point, at least he didn’t show any obvious reaction.

He merely stated casually, "Nalisha didn’t leave me much, but before she left, she repeatedly urged me to guard this item carefully."

The Paranoid was incensed upon hearing this, "Do you believe I would send you to keep your dead wife company?"

Chi Yang pressed his lips tightly together, not answering—offending his deceased wife was something he couldn’t accept.

Anyway, until the other party finds the item, it’s unlikely he would be killed.

His attitude also indirectly indicated a strong reluctance to give up the treasure.

Qu Jianlei spoke up leisurely after seeing this, "You may not fear death, but do you think your children don’t fear death either?"

Chi Yang’s eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, "For a Supreme like you to threaten unrelated people, isn’t that despicable?"

The children of him and Nalisha are unremarkable; his favorite child is the one born out of wedlock.

Yet even so, he has a fondness by association.

"Despicable?" The Paranoid snorted upon hearing this, "Is it as despicable as you?"

Chi Yang was silent, speaking only after a while, "If you can prove the item is indeed yours, I may return it."

"Proof? No problem," The Paranoid answered coldly, "But you should understand how important this matter is."

"Due to confidentiality reasons, after seeing the evidence, you’ll undoubtedly die... Can you accept this?"

Chi Yang was once again stunned.

But after considering for a while, he thought the other party was indeed speaking reasonably. He understood the sensitivity of the treasure in his hand.

Although he wanted to know more about the origins of the treasure, which was also his wife’s dying wish.

Yet he is also aware that the origins of such treasures likely involve earth-shattering secrets, being silenced is understandable.

Generally, killing a Supreme has serious consequences, but compared to secrets of that level, a Supreme’s death doesn’t matter.

However, just accepting it makes him a bit displeased.

So he spoke gravely, "Since seeing the proof means death, why should I hand over the item?"

Qu Jianlei answered expressionlessly, "After seeing the proof, you may change your mind, but then... it won’t be just you dying."

Using my and Nalisha’s children as leverage again? Chi Yang was truly annoyed—Would you believe I’d risk it all?

However, since ancient times, death is difficult to face alone, he’s only two hundred and twenty-plus years old, with over seventy good years left.

Chi Yang then couldn’t help but think: What if the other party mercilessly kills my non-marital children, too?

It’s not an excuse he’s making for himself, but the possibility of such a result is indeed very high.

Furthermore, even if he were ready to let go of everything and accept death serenely, does that mean the other party can’t find the hidden treasure?

Chi Yang considers this possibility to be extremely slim.

The Supreme possesses dignity, but also doesn’t lack the ability to assess situations, Chi Yang contemplated for a few seconds and made his decision.

"The place where the treasure is stored, only I can access, you..."

"Don’t play tricks," Qu Jianlei raised his hand and snapped Arc Light Supreme’s left leg.

That palm seemed casual but resulted in an open fracture, the lower leg’s skin was pierced, revealing the bone.

"Ah," Arc Light screamed in agony, instantly awake from the pain.

Qu Jianlei delivered another palm strike, knocking her unconscious again, then looked back at Chi Yang.

He spoke expressionlessly, "In our eyes, your life is no more valuable than that of a Modified Warrior."

Even Supreme from the Anomalous Management Division we dare to torture casually, I wonder how you perceive this?

However, Chi Yang Supreme isn’t concerned about this, his pupils contracted slightly.

A casual palm strike shattered Chi Yang’s leg, this person’s prowess... is no less formidable than that of a Supreme strong in Spiritual Power.

After pondering for two more seconds, he sighed, "But there, I stored many things."

Such a situation is indeed very common, as a Supreme, good things are certainly not just a little bit.

Chi Yang hopes the other party has enough vision to make a promise not to touch his other treasures.

The Paranoid doesn’t buy into this, "Do you know how much effort we put in to find you?"

However, he soon added, "But I’m very doubtful that someone of your caliber has anything good to offer."

Chi Yang’s lips twitched slightly; ever since he advanced to Supreme, he hadn’t been so underestimated by anyone.

Nonetheless... being underestimated isn’t too bad. If the other’s vision matches their cultivation level, he won’t suffer heavy losses.

"Alright," he decided, "I’ll tell you where the treasure is, but before that, I have a question to ask."

Qu Jianlei and the Paranoid exchanged glances, neither spoke.

Chi Yang was fully aware that their silence meant he could ask his question.

He looked at the Paranoid and asked solemnly, "May I ask, are you the Spiritual Attribute Supreme?"

Chi Yang knew the Imperial had a Spiritual Attribute Supreme, but this person did not match anyone he knew.

The Paranoid sat there without moving, suddenly clad in Ice Armor.

Previously, Rhodiola rosea asked him to pose as Ice Attribute Supreme, but in fact, he didn’t need to pretend at all.

Apart from his own Gold Attribute, his greatest skill was Water Attribute—Gold can produce Water!

And when reaching the Supreme level, the gap between Water Attribute and Ice Attribute decreases significantly.

He effortlessly displayed the Ice Armor and casually retorted, "Just because one isn’t Spiritual Attribute doesn’t mean they can’t use Spiritual Power?"

What the... Chi Yang couldn’t help but curse silently in his heart, this is definitely Supreme Peak!

As for possibly being above Supreme? He didn’t consider it; he wouldn’t dare to guess that way.

That kind of existence is extremely rare, if he guessed right, the other party wouldn’t tolerate him speaking recklessly.

So he sighed softly and revealed the location of the treasure—right in his estate, in a secret room.

This kind of secret room isn’t actually hard to find, but being the Guardian Supreme of the planet, who would dare search his estate?

His previous claims of difficulty in locating it were merely excuses.

Though his statement of difficulty in entering was indeed true, there were even self-destruct mechanisms inside.

Qu Jianlei wanted to go collect the array, but the Paranoid insisted on going himself.

This reveals that he truly distrusts Rhodiola rosea, preferring to endure some fatigue to prevent the other party from escaping once they succeed.

Qu Jianlei was indifferent - having someone to run errands was quite desirable for him.

The Paranoid clarified several precautions with Chi Yang before gracefully leaving.

Less than an hour passed when he returned, "This guy’s estate is well guarded, does the Guardian live so hard?"

Chi Yang pursed his lips, not answering, thinking, as the planet’s top individual defense, is it rare?

The Paranoid was just lamenting, not seeking an answer; then, he handed a semi-shield-shaped stone slab to Qu Jianlei.

"Mission accomplished."

Chi Yang blinked in astonishment, increasingly perplexed in his heart - what merits does this person possess to command such a powerful person?

Could it be that behind him lies a considerable power backing?

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking about such things, the more he knows, the more irresponsible he is to himself.

As he pondered distractedly, he saw the fellow turn his head to him, casually saying.

"Oh, I took two billion in Silver Notes from you, consider it the fee for your years of contemplation, alright?"

"Silver Notes... two billion?" Chi Yang was stunned, why would you be interested in such a thing?

His main concern was his other treasured collections; he hadn’t anticipated the other party’s interest in Silver Notes.

Silver Notes are very useful for ordinary people, but their temptation for someone of Supreme level is nearly nonexistent.

These Silver Notes were earned over years of guarding, including some gray income, but they weren’t sought after intentionally.

As long as he turned a blind eye occasionally, he could receive returns; sometimes refusing would cause anxiety in others.

Yet, truth be told, people would continuously offer Silver Notes because he’d never rejected them!

Upon hearing this, he was slightly surprised, "Why would you choose this?"

Do you think I wanted to choose? The Paranoid could communicate with the Big Head Butterfly, knowing how fixated it was on Silver Notes.

So he replied irritably, "You collected such junk... did you really think I would value them?"

"But I need Silver Notes," Chi Yang sighed, "I have many children!"

He really was prolific, just Nalisha had given him twelve children, his grandchildren numbered over a hundred.

As for illegitimate children... that was almost fifty, and those were just the first generation; otherwise, why would he accept Silver Notes?

Two billion sounds like a lot, but when divided, each child gets less than three million.

The main issue is that none of the next generation are promising, leaving money behind is most suitable!

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "Do you think we’re easy to talk to?"

Then he raised a hand and smashed Arc Light’s head, "Understand, staying alive means you’re already very lucky!"
