# Chapter 389: Werewolf Leader
“You worry too much, how could we possibly hide anything from you! Hmm, this painting looks good, you can tell it’s from a master’s hand!” Lane tilted his head, avoiding Tivan’s gaze, and turned his attention to a painting hanging on the wall behind him, praising the Impressionist work with appreciative sounds.
Hearing Lane praise his collection, Tivan immediately forgot his original intention. He boasted proudly, “This piece, *Bal du moulin de la Galette (Renoir)*, is a work by an Impressionist painter from your Human World named Auguste Renoir. I spent one hundred million US Dollars to acquire it from a Japanese person!”
One hundred million US Dollars? Lane looked at the so-called painting in front of him, which seemed to be just scribbled with red and yellow paint. He truly couldn’t understand how this thing was worth one hundred million US Dollars.
However, seeing that he had temporarily fooled Tivan, Lane didn’t spare any praise, discussing the meaning represented by Impressionist paintings and how they expressed the author’s ideology and core spirit.
The more they talked, the more Lane felt something was off. Compared to his superficial understanding of Impressionist paintings, Tivan seemed to be a complete novice regarding this particular painting.
“Mr. Tivan, what was your original intention for purchasing this painting?”
Tivan glanced at Lane and said indifferently, “Hmm! This painting had the highest auction price among oil paintings in your Human World. It has collection value!”
Lane looked at the serious expression on Tivan’s face and was somewhat speechless. So, you only look at the price when buying things? Only buy the expensive ones!
“I don’t just collect oil paintings here. Look at the wall over there, that’s *Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies*!”
“If I remember correctly, shouldn’t this painting be in the British Museum?”
Tivan glared at Lane, “They stole that painting too, why can’t I steal it back from them!”
“How did you steal it?” Lane asked cautiously.
“Of course, I just walked in and took the thing out directly!” Tivan said casually.
“And they just let you take it!?”
“Do you think that group of guards and police officers could stop me!?” Tivan looked at Lane as if he were an idiot.
“Phew!”
Lane let out a deep breath. Right, with Tivan’s strength, let alone one British Museum, there are few places in the entire Universe that could stop him.
Suddenly, Lane remembered something. A few days ago, the British Museum announced that due to wall aging, the museum was closed for repairs and stopped receiving visitors.
It must be related to Tivan stealing *Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies*. Now the British People are definitely secretly searching for the lost collection. But it’s just a painting, it doesn’t matter. The British Museum has lost quite a few things over the years. Just find a few institutions later and get this painting cleaned.
He had been cleaning up messes for Boss and Kane before, so he was quite skilled at these things. Even if they knew the thing fell into Tivan’s hands, with Tang Group blocking the way, the British People could only swallow this loss.
One must know that currently, nearly seventy percent of the energy supply on the British Isles comes from Tang Group. The British People cannot afford to provoke them, especially not just for a painting!
His expression froze. He looked at Tivan cautiously and asked, “Did you only take this one painting, or…?”
“Of course not. Since I made a trip, I naturally couldn’t just take this one painting. Don’t worry, I didn’t take too much, just a third of their collection items!
You see, my museum is just starting out and needs some exhibits to fill the space!” Tivan said as if it were only right.
A third, just, and still? Lane could already imagine the empty look inside the British Museum. And Tivan was even going to exhibit the stolen collection items. A bead of sweat slid down Lane’s forehead!
He now really wanted to take back what he had said to Tony Stark earlier, that sentence about Tang Group also having shares in this museum! This museum has absolutely no relationship with their Tang Group! Tivan? Who is that, never heard of him!
Of course, this was just Lane complaining internally.
This matter would at most be a bit troublesome, but for the current Tang Group, it was simply not a big deal.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a sun never setting empire, are they still living two hundred years ago? The sun has long since set now! If they really become relentless, they can just flatten this peninsula! Lane silently vowed in his heart.
“Do you think I can trade some of my collection back from Tang using those Chinese collection items from the British Museum?”
Tivan suddenly had a thought, “Tang is Chinese People, don’t their Chinese People always talk about patriotic sentiment and returning to one’s roots? He should like these Chinese collection items, right?”
Lane instantly tensed up. He hadn’t expected that after going in circles, Tivan would circle back to this.
Beep Beep Beep—
An invisible Qi Signature shot out from his fingertip, hitting the black matte mechanical wristwatch on his left wrist. The mechanical wristwatch immediately let out a series of rings.
Lane looked solemnly at the wristwatch on his wrist, stood up, patted the clothes on his body, and said to Tivan, “Mr. Tivan, the group has an urgent matter that requires my attention. I will take my leave now!”
Without waiting for Tivan to speak, Lane twisted his body and transformed into a stream of water, rushing into the sky and instantly disappearing without a trace.
“Hey…”
Tivan had just raised his hand, intending to call out to Lane, when the figure before him had already vanished.
“He runs really fast, directly transforming his physical body into water flow, what a strange cultivation method!” Tivan looked up at the direction where Lane disappeared, shook his head, and continued lying on the soft sofa, listening to the praise and exclamations of the tourists below.
Lane transformed into a water flow and traveled at super speed in the high altitude. His God-Demon True Dragon Transformation was similar to Kane’s White Tiger Transformation. The so-called True Dragon, Manipulate Clouds and Rain, and Control Water Vapor were all instinct engraved in his bloodline.
It could be said that the current Lane, if he wished, could instantly make the entire Federation experience three days and three nights of torrential rain. Transforming into water flow was merely child’s play.
In the high altitude, Lane directly summoned a miniature South Heavenly Gate phantom. He drilled into it, and when he reappeared, he was already in Svartalfheim.
At this moment in Svartalfheim, a large fleet was already ready for war.
“Bande, Professor Bai?”
