Chapter 693: Chapter 693

Manchester Airport, a plane slowly glided onto the runway.

A beautiful woman elegantly descended from the airplane, her appearance immediately attracting the attention of everyone around.

She was a breathtaking beauty, tall and voluptuous, with raven-black hair flowing like waves in the wind, especially her long, jade-like legs, wrapped in silk stockings, were a sight to behold.

The only pity was that the girl was blind and could only walk down the stairs slowly with the help of her secretary.

In the Manchester City Hall, Mayor Lu Si looked at the beautiful woman before him with excitement.

"Miss Ru Hua, we are very honored that you have come to invest in Manchester. I can assure you that you will receive the best service here," Lu Si said with a smile.

Ru Hua's lips curved into a smile like blooming petals, "Mr. Lu Si, I have already mentioned the reasons for my investment in Manchester, but I wonder if you can fulfill my conditions?"

"This!" Hearing Ru Hua's words, Lu Si showed a troubled expression.

"Miss Ru Hua, you said that your ancestor's remains are inside the sunken ship, and you can take them, but that brocade box?" Lu Si said with difficulty.

"If it's not possible, then I will have to terminate this cooperation. I am not trying to take the brocade box away; I just want to have a close look, to touch the thing my ancestors traded their lives for. Is that also not possible?" Ru Hua said with some agitation.

"Miss Ru Hua, please don't be upset. We have already contacted General Luo De, and he will be here shortly," Lu Si said with a smile.

"The brocade box is currently at our military's research institute. Until we understand the secrets hidden within, no one can open or touch that brocade box," a cold voice sounded, as Luo De, the General, walked in.

"Your Excellency General, Miss Ru Hua's investment is extremely important for Manchester. I hope you can make an exception. She just wants to look at and touch it; there shouldn't be any problem," Lu Si said anxiously.

This time, the investment Ru Hua brought could elevate the entire city's stature by a notch. As the mayor, Lu Si couldn't afford to miss such an opportunity, which is why he tried every possible means to facilitate this investment.

"The city's development is your concern, I am only responsible for the peace of T country. Let's end this conversation here. I am very busy, I bid you farewell," said Luo De as he stood up and turned to leave.

"General, I've heard your dual swords are quite formidable, is that right?" Ru Hua spoke up.

Luo De stopped in his tracks and gave a cold smile, "What about it? Do you have any advice?"

Ru Hua said calmly, "If I defeat you, may I have a chance to look at the brocade box?"

Luo De was stunned for a moment, his gaze narrowing slightly.

Upon hearing Ru Hua's words, everyone present was taken aback.

General Luo De was the military god of T country, invincible with his dual swords. This blind girl was actually challenging him—it seemed like a joke!

Luo De's gaze settled on Ru Hua, and suddenly he laughed, "Fine, I accept your challenge. Come to my house tonight. If you defeat me, you can have the chance to touch the brocade box. If you lose, then let's not discuss this matter again."

Saying this, Luo De strode out of the meeting room.

At that moment, everyone was stunned, "Why would General Luo De accept a challenge from a blind person? Everyone knows this fight has no suspense at all!"

Lu Si said anxiously, "Miss Ru Hua, the General's dual swords are extremely formidable. What if you are injured by the unseeing blades? Perhaps we should just forget this matter."

"Don't worry, I will defeat him," Ru Hua said as she stood up, turning to leave the meeting room.

Atop a rock by the seaside, a girl sat cross-legged.

The sea breeze tousled her hair while the waves occasionally crashed against her, the girl holding a short sword in her hand, her expression tranquil.

A faint flow of qi passed through the palm of the girl's hand, eventually reaching her short sword.

The short sword was emitting a faint blue glow, its killing intent formidable.

A moment later, the young girl finally stood up, and what was astonishing was that, despite the rocky crags jutting out all over the place, Ah Shi could easily dodge the debris, leaping agilely onto the beach above.

Having concealed the short sword within her cane, Ah Shi walked toward the direction of the hotel.

At this time, several drunken men approached from the opposite direction. Seeing Ah Shi tapping the ground with a cane as she advanced, a sleazy smile appeared on their faces.

"Such a beautiful chick, turns out to be a blind one."

"Blind ones are the best, she can't see us, makes things easy!"

A lecherous gleam shone in the eyes of the men as they surrounded Ah Shi in the middle.

"Little sister, can't see your way, huh? Need your brothers to take you home?" a blond man said with a snicker.

"If you don't want to die, get lost!" Ah Shi's voice was ice cold.

"Wow, she's a feisty one, just the type we like. How about you don't go home, let us take good care of you." The men spoke as they moved to lay hands on Ah Shi.

"Stop!" At this moment, a figure walked over.

The men were about to succeed when they suddenly saw someone intervening, and their expressions changed.

However, when they saw that the person was just a young man in his twenties, they felt relieved.

"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business. If you know what's good for you, scram," one of the thugs said menacingly.

Lin Chen, chewing on peanuts, snorted coldly, "Scram? Show me how you're going to scram with a demonstration."

"Let's deal with this brat first, then we'll take the girl away!" the blond man snorted coldly, signaling the others with his eyes.

Four people immediately closed in on Lin Chen, and the blond man snorted, "Kid, you're asking for a beating, don't blame us, mov...!"

However, before he could finish saying "move", he felt a sudden intense pain between his legs and the blond man immediately knelt on the ground in agony.

The other three, seeing the blond man's pitiful state, were stunned; they hadn't seen Lin Chen move at all!

Suddenly, the three felt a chilling sensation.

"Boss, we were wrong, we'll get going right away," the three men's complexions drastically changed.

"I'll count to three, and if you haven't disappeared from my sight, you'll end up just like him," Lin Chen said coldly.

The three exchanged glances, then, dragging the howling blond man, they scrambled away.

Only Lin Chen and Ah Shi were left on the beach.

Lin Chen gazed at the Ah Shi before him, her exquisite beauty, silky flowing hair, the elegant and ethereal blue dress, and her graceful S-curved figure. Under the sunset, she was like a blooming snow lotus, exuding an aura of nobility and aloof beauty.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and said with a light smile, "Miss Ah Shi, it is dangerous for you to be out alone so late. Where is your home? Let me take you back."

"Who are you?" Ah Shi asked.

"I am the bodyguard sent by the mayor to protect you. Your safety in Manshi is my responsibility from now on," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Then, thank you." The girl nodded and extended her cane toward Lin Chen.
