Chapter 1: The Genius Dragon and Phoenix Treasure

  A certain mountainous region in France

  Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see, seemingly endless!

  Emerald green towering trees, lush and verdant.

  The wild grass on the ground is extremely lush, with each blade being so strong and powerful, as tall as a person. If someone hides here, it would be very difficult to discover them.

  This is a remote mountainous region of France with few people, a good place to hide one's identity.

  A flock of birds flew leisurely across the sky, unaware of the danger approaching them step by step.

  Suddenly, "bang, bang, bang..." several gunshots, several small birds "whoosh" a sound, straight line from the sky fell, dropped to the grass.

  "Good job!" A pleasant voice accompanied by applause, and then came: "Jing Er, your marksmanship is getting better and better, it's almost at the level of a godly gunner!"

  "Hehe... Uncle Chen, don't praise me too much, I'll become arrogant." A childish voice laughed, carelessly pulling off the black sunglasses on her face, revealing a delicate and pretty doll-like face.

  The little boy was probably only six years old, with a pretty face, red lips and white teeth, just like the male protagonist in Japanese comics, but a pair of wise eyes made it impossible to ignore.

  The young man standing beside the little boy was handsome in appearance, tall and slender, with black hair neatly trimmed, soft facial features, and a smile all over his face, as if basking in the warm spring breeze.

  "Uncle Chen, I'm telling the truth. When I was 6 years old, I didn't even have enough strength to hold a gun. You're only 6 years old and your marksmanship is already so impressive! You're truly a rare talent!" Gu Bei Chen never hid his admiration for his nephew Gu Jing.

  Gu Jing raised the small, delicate handgun that was only about half the size of his palm and said, "Uncle Chen, your distant era is different from now. Did you have such a small and exquisite child's handgun back then?"

  "Haha... that's not it." Gu Bei Chen shook his head: "No way. In Uncle Chen's time, there weren't geniuses like you who could make this kind of small handgun at just 6 years old."

  "It's just that. If you had this little handgun back then, I think you would have been a godly marksman at the age of 5! Don't forget, you're a legendary marksman in the world of mercenaries, holding the record for 5 years, and no one has broken it yet!" Gu Jing shook the handgun, his dark eyes gleaming with light.

  Gu Jing, a rare "mechanical genius". He has been enthusiastic about mechanical design, improvement and maintenance since childhood. Designing new types of handguns is his hobby and strong point.

  "It doesn't matter, Uncle Chen. Now you have me. From now on, no one will be able to surpass you in the improvement of firearms and the development of new weapons!" Gu Jing said proudly, her little nose raised high.

  Gu Bei Chen looked at Gu Jing with a smile all over his face, his eyes filled with doting and gentleness.

  "Alright. Uncle Chen, I asked you to improve the gun just for our own self-defense. As for the development and sales of new weapons, I'm not very interested! Besides, your grandfather and mother would definitely oppose me being involved in designing and selling military equipment."

  Gu Bei Chen, the mastermind of "Thieves' Den", is involved in underground transactions of antiques, ceramics, cultural relics, jewelry, diamonds and gold.

  Among them, there are people who steal things that others cherish, as long as you can afford the price, there's nothing they can't steal.

  Gu Jing blinked her small and delicate eyes and said seriously: "Uncle Chen, a man should have a grand ideal!"

  "Uncle Chen also has great ideals! My great ideal is to protect every brother and sister in the 'Thief's Home' from harm. Especially the safety of your whole family." Gu Bei Chen affectionately stroked his round little head.

  "Uncle Chen, I finally understand why Grandfather chose you as his successor to take over the Divine Thief's household." Gu Jing nodded slowly.

  "Oh? Do you know the reason?" Gu Bei Cheng was slightly surprised.

  "Because you and he are equally pedantic, equally short-sighted, only knowing how to follow the rules!"

  "Haha......" Gu Bei Chen still smiled brightly: "Jing Er, when you grow up, you will understand that starting a business is difficult, but keeping it going is even harder."

  Gu Jing lightly shook her head, disagreeing. "Uncle Chen, this feudalistic thinking of yours is something I'll never understand in my lifetime! If I were you, I'd definitely make the Godly Thief's household flourish and turn it into the largest conglomerate standing at the world's pinnacle!"
