Unfortunately, besides Qin Fang himself, even Tang Cheng, one of the participants, wasn't particularly clear on it... not to mention Tang Huaiyuan, who was completely in the dark.

When Qin Fang informed Tang Cheng that this time Tang Huaiyuan's target was the Blood Coral, Tang Cheng immediately wanted to stash away the Blood Coral without hesitation.

Perhaps in his view, as long as Tang Huaiyuan didn't get the Blood Coral, he would inevitably stay to look for it, giving him more opportunities to take him down.

However, Qin Fang had a different idea and successfully convinced Tang Cheng... To be precise, when Tang Cheng learned of Qin Fang's plan, he was completely stunned.

Because... Qin Fang actually found an almost identical Blood Coral!

If Tang Cheng hadn't personally placed the Blood Coral in the safe, he would have thought Qin Fang was about to pull off a Stealing the Beam Replacing the Pillar trick.

But the Blood Coral Qin Fang brought back was verified by experts, who confidently stated it was authentic.

The only strange thing was that this Blood Coral was completely identical to the one in the safe, as if made from the same mold, even the flaws were completely identical...

Tang Cheng didn't pay much attention to it. He wanted results, so he didn't get tangled up in those irrelevant details.

Thus, this fake Blood Coral shamelessly replaced the original Blood Coral and was placed in the exhibition hall... Aside from Qin Fang, Tang Cheng, and that expert, no one else knew about it.

Even though Boss Kui had planted The Green Gang's members undercover in the National Exhibition Center, they couldn't know such a secret. Naturally, Tang Huaiyuan knew even less.

Even antique experts couldn't spot any flaws, so there's no need to mention Tang Huaiyuan's level; he couldn't find any flaws either.

Moreover, Tang Huaiyuan had just succeeded, and Qin Fang had already appeared. He then pursued Qin Fang, so he had no time to pay any attention to the issue with the Blood Coral...

Until he was seriously injured, provoked by Qin Fang, he took out the Blood Coral, and it vanished into thin air before his eyes. In utter shock, Tang Huaiyuan chose to perish together with him due to excessive provocation...

It can be said that Tang Huaiyuan never figured out how Qin Fang set him up until his death, truly dying unjustly and insignificantly!

As for the reason, naturally, only Qin Fang understood best.

Qin Fang had quite a few skills now, most were relatively common, but there were some he used very seldom, like this Duplication Skill he used this time.

By consuming certain Justice Points, Qin Fang could completely duplicate an item perfectly, a 100% duplicate existing physically, with no flaws detectable.

However, the duplicate wasn't entirely without flaws; to be exact, it had one major flaw, which was the duration of its existence...

Qin Fang hardly used the Duplication Skill before, as Justice Points were hard to earn, making it difficult for him to brush up on Proficiency.

It was only when he could exchange Experience Points for Proficiency that Qin Fang quickly elevated the Duplication Skill to Advanced, reducing the Justice Points consumed each time, and extending the duplicate's existence to four hours.

After placing the duplicate in the exhibition hall, Qin Fang immediately went to the sniper position to wait, appearing relaxed but always watching the time closely.

He didn't want the Blood Coral to vanish because time ran out before Tang Huaiyuan even appeared... So he had to quickly put the Blood Coral back.

Fortunately, Tang Huaiyuan didn't disappoint him, taking action within Qin Fang's expected timeframe, providing a relatively ample window...

Until he was severely injured, and Qin Fang saw the remaining time, he couldn't resist taunting him, resulting in Tang Huaiyuan watching the Blood Coral vanish from his hands as time expired...

In a rather pathetic turn, Tang Huaiyuan, a dignified Grandmaster Level expert, an elder of the Tang Sect, was simply enraged to death by Qin Fang, and even his attempt at mutual destruction couldn't harm Qin Fang, at most killing a few ants by the roadside...

Qin Fang wasn't very affected, only that his plan had been satisfactorily completed, and the Duplication Skill had indeed contributed a great deal.

"Tsk tsk, when I have time, maybe I should try being an international thief once, see if I can steal back some national treasures from places like the British Museum or the Louvre Museum..."

Perhaps it was because this Duplication Skill was quite devilish; after one success, such a mischievous idea naturally crept into Qin Fang's mind.

Of course, the idea was great, and its feasibility wasn't low, but the main challenge was how Qin Fang could achieve it unnoticeably, which was the key point.

After all, this time it was possible to deceive and avoid detection because Tang Cheng was cooperating with him. If he tried to steal treasures from those two places, the best outcome would be not getting shot on sight, let alone them helping him with the theft.

Fortunately, this was just a fleeting thought for Qin Fang; he wasn't really going to act on it, especially since he didn't even have the time to visit those two countries...

With Tang Huaiyuan dead, Qin Fang relaxed and didn't bother to go to the National Exhibition Center anymore, as it was no longer necessary.

The Tang Sect members were either dead or had fled, posing no threat. The remaining matters would naturally be handled by Tang Cheng, and Qin Fang couldn't be bothered with them.

"Sigh, nothing dropped again..."

However, when dealing with Tang Huaiyuan's body, Qin Fang felt quite helpless, as just like the old witch he killed before, nothing dropped from Tang Huaiyuan.

Fortunately, while Qin Fang was depressed this time, he was somewhat mentally prepared for this...

Although Qin Fang had dealt a vicious blow to the old witch at the time, she ultimately chose to self-destruct, so she wasn't technically killed by Qin Fang.

The situation with Tang Huaiyuan was similar. Qin Fang hadn't even interacted with him directly; Tang Huaiyuan's severe injuries were inflicted by Chu Tianji.

The only good experience points Qin Fang acquired were because Tang Huaiyuan was enraged to death by him... perhaps that was something added to Qin Fang's achievements.

Unfortunately, this manner of death wasn't recognized by the system, and it didn't count towards Qin Fang's enemy kills.

If it wasn't Qin Fang who personally finished him off, nothing would be dropped... Such was the case with Tang Huaiyuan!

"Actually, it wasn't entirely unfruitful..."

Of course, Qin Fang wasn't too discouraged—Tang Huaiyuan, his greatest enemy, was dead, and he did get something... the Peacock Feather.

A used Peacock Feather no longer counts as a Peacock Feather—at most, it's just a frame. To restore it to its original state would take at least ten to twenty years in the hands of Tang Sect craftsmen...

That's why the Peacock Feather, since its creation, has been fired no more than five times—because it's not only exceedingly difficult to make but also nearly impossible to restore, almost like creating a new one.

"Picked up such a bargain for nothing..."

Yet when this damaged Peacock Feather landed in Qin Fang's hands, he wasn't the least bit disheartened; on the contrary, he was thrilled, even excited...

The restoration of Storm Pear Blossom was no less challenging than the Peacock Feather. Yet, when Tang Nan used it and it fell into Qin Fang's hands, it was still perfectly fine and had accomplished a great deed.

Now, it's the same with the Peacock Feather. Qin Fang has a sufficient reserve of Justice Points, enough to restore the Peacock Feather to its initial state at any moment.

The skilled craftsmen of the Tang Sect might need ten to twenty years to restore it completely, but Qin Fang... can accomplish the restoration in just a few seconds.

Moreover, Qin Fang doesn't need to forge those slender needles or prepare any other materials; just spending a little Justice Points can easily solve everything!

Therefore, not only did Tang Huaiyuan fail to eliminate Qin Fang, who had a vendetta against him, but he also lost his life and even let one of the Tang Sect's ten ancient hidden weapons slip into Qin Fang's hands.

It's truly a case of losing everything after failing to steal a hen, an utter loss indeed.

But Tang Huaiyuan is already dead and has no chance to regret it!

Two Tang Sect members slipped away, but Qin Fang didn't bother with them, as Tang Cheng would send people to hunt them down. Whether they succeed or not wasn't something Qin Fang cared much about.

Succeeding would, of course, be the best outcome, allowing Qin Fang a period of peace before the Tang Sect could respond, staying unbothered for a time.

Even failing wouldn't be a big deal. Tang Huaiyuan's death in the world couldn't be covered up, considering his significant status in the Tang Sect. They wouldn't remain indifferent.

If those few Tang Sect disciples return and bring the news back, it simply hastens their awareness. But even if they sent more people, there would be some delay.

And during that time, Qin Fang would be abroad, where those formidable Tang Sect members couldn't even see him, making vengeance impossible.

Understanding this, Qin Fang wasn't worried at all...

A fire reduced Tang Huaiyuan's body to ashes, and Qin Fang doused the remains with urine, thus ending everything, with the fall of a Grandmaster-level expert and Qin Fang living a carefree life...
