One minute…

Two minutes…

None of his subordinates came out.

James’ expression suddenly turned grim, and his gaze fixed firmly on Nan Yan.

“You didn’t come alone, did you?”

Nan Yan turned and looked towards the direction of the door.

The office door was kicked open from the outside, and a tall figure slowly walked in.

It was Qin Lu!

James’ eyes were as venomous as if he had been poisoned. He had actually been outsmarted!

On the surface, he had set up a trap with An Muyao to deceive Nan Yan into coming here. In reality, it was Qin Lu and Nan Yan who had joined forces to deceive him!

Qin Lu came to Nan Yan’s side, made sure she was safe first, and then turned to

James with a solemn tone. “James, one of the Seven Saints of the Divine Temple. He is in charge of finance and trade. He relies on all sorts of underhanded methods to accumulate wealth for the Divine Temple.”

“You have a notorious reputation, and there are countless people who want to see you utterly destroyed.”

“However, you have another identity, a traitor to the Qin family, Qin Zhixiu.”

Qin Lu’s words made James, or rather, Qin Zhixiu’s face suddenly uncomfortable. “Don’t call me by that name!” Qin Zhixiu glared at Qin Lu with malice. “I haven’t been a member of the Qin family for a long time. I am James, one of the Temple’s Saints!”

When he left the Qin family, he completely severed ties with them. For many years, he had not considered himself a member of the Qin family. He relied on his own strength to rise to his current position step by step.

Now, what he wanted to do was to make the Qin family his own, and he would be the head of the Qin family in the future. Those who had once looked down on him would have to look up to him and follow his lead in the days to come!

He had actually wanted to seize the Qin family long ago.

In recent years, the Qin family had been thriving, and its international influence had been steadily increasing, to the point that even he was surprised.

However, Qin Lu was too dominant, and his power was too great, so he had never found an opportunity to strike.

Later, he found out that Qin Lu had fallen in love with a girl and had repeatedly risked his life for her, which finally gave him an opportunity.

Nan Yan was Qin Lu’s Achilles’ heel, his weakness.

As long as he could control Nan Yan, Qin Lu would obediently surrender. But he didn’t expect that the first time he went after Nan Yan, it would attract Qin Lu’s attention…

“The traitor of the Qin family, colluding with Caesar to take my life,” Qin Lu’s voice was cold, his invisible killing intent unrestrained, “Since you’re here, there’s no need to leave. Just in time. I want to eliminate the traitor within the Qin family.”

Qin Zhixiu sneered, “Qin Lu, do you want to be enemies with the Divine Temple?”

“I am a Saint of the Temple. If something happens to me here, do you think the Temple will spare you?”

“Moreover, don’t you care if she lives or dies?” Qin Zhixiu pointed at Nan Yan,

“If you dare to touch me, I guarantee your woman will die in front of me.”

He wasn’t foolish. After waiting for so long with none of his people appearing and seeing Qin Lu here, it was quite obvious that Qin Lu had dealt with his people.

In order to escape from Qin Lu, he had no choice but to use Nan Yan as his trump card.

Worried that Qin Lu might not believe he had the capability, Qin Zhixiu continued, “Just last night, An Muyao controlled An Xiran and poisoned her. Only I have the antidote for this poison, and the poison takes effect in only three days. Within those three days, if she doesn’t take the antidote, she’s as good as dead!”

“Are you talking about this bottle of medicine?”

James couldn’t believe that Nan Yan had already seen through his poisoning scheme. “You’re not poisoned?”

“Of course not. I’m not foolish enough to fall for your little trick! Now, what else do you have to say?” Nan Yan sneered at him.

“What about your Fourth Brother? If you don’t save him in time, he may never fully recover,” James threatened.

Nan Yan pondered for a moment, considering the possibility that James might be telling the truth.

“Brother, I’ll take Fourth Brother to the hospital first. I’ll leave this place to you. Oh, and as for An Muyao, leave her to me. She won’t get away so easily this time!” Nan Yan told Qin Lu before leaving abruptly with Fourth Brother.

Qin Lu began to approach Qin Zhixiu, determined to remove him from the Qin family.

James trembled in fear and suddenly an idea crossed his mind..
