"How did your Liu family's things end up in my hands? If they're in my hands, aren't they mine?"
Xia Tianqiong put the hanged ghost into the mirror space, letting it absorb gold inside to recover from its injuries.
He didn't care about Liu Qian's questioning at all and turned to leave the warehouse.
"You're not allowed to leave until you hand it over."
Liu Qian immediately stopped Xia Tianqiong. He wanted to take back the Fenggui Chessboard directly, but he didn't dare to.
Firstly, because the other party has just signed a contract with the Hanging Ghost, he may not be a match for them.
Secondly, because there are officials here, it's not advisable to go too far.
"Captain Zhou, he stole my Liu family's thousand-year-old heirloom artifact! You must stand up for me!"
He turned and threw the question at Zhou Boyu.
Zhou Boyu paused for a moment, frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "We are not police officers, we do not handle private disputes, our duty is to handle strange events."
Actually, this matter is something that can be addressed or ignored. After all, it is a mysterious artifact, and both parties are monster hunters, so even if it is addressed, it would be perfectly legitimate.
But what Liu Qian did just now was unfair and offensive.
Moreover, Zhou Boyu himself disliked people from ancient families, so he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
Liu Qian's face turned ugly, and he stood frozen in place.
Unexpectedly, the official personnel he sought help from did not speak up for him.
He couldn't think of any way to get the sealed chessboard back.
After a brief silence, his expression suddenly turned serious. "Captain Zhou, do you know where the Hanging Ghost came from?"
Zhou Boyu asked, "Could it be related to the strange artifact you mentioned?"
"That's right, the Sealed Chessboard contains many strange seals, and the Hanged Ghost is one of them. Originally, the seal was intact, but he stole the chessboard and forcibly broke the seal inside."
His actions were entirely malicious, intended to harm humanity. The Sealed Demon Chessboard must not remain in his hands, otherwise even more powerful monsters will be released, bringing disaster to innocent people.
Liu Qian knew what the authorities cared about most.
They will immediately take any potential threat to public safety seriously.
In his words, Xia Tianqiong became a dangerous element who deliberately released eerie and bizarre information.
As the captain of the Bureau of Strange Affairs, Zhou Boyu certainly wouldn't ignore it; otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhou Boyu immediately became alert. "Such a dangerous artifact, please hand it over to our management bureau for safekeeping, Mr. Xia!"
"What?"
Liu Qian was immediately stunned.
If the Administration Bureau takes it, it will never be able to get it back.
