Chapter 59 - Hail To You, Master Chen (2/2)
One after another, the magnates at the table stood up and joined the chant.
Some of them had reserved their respect for Chen Fan, thinking that modern weapons could easily kill the boy. However, after they had watched Chen Fan blocked a bullet, they couldn’t help but admire Chen Fan’s power.
The world was big, but they doubted that they could find a second person who could do what Chen Fan had just done.
They had no qualms with Xu Ao’s proposal of letting Chen Fan be their leader.
Seeing all the powerful tyc.o.o.ns bowed to a young man, the audience beneath the platform was convinced that they would never forget what happened today for the rest of their lives.
“He is a real man!”
Many people heard the same voice in their mind.
They knew that from now on, there would be only one dominant figure in the Jiang Bei region, and his name was Chen Fan.
After the tournament was over, the tyc.o.o.ns and the audience left the stage for home. Accompanied by Yang Li and her friends, A’Xiu walked toward the village.
Their hearts were filled with strong yet contradicting emotions.
They were amazed by Chen Fan’s power, but they also feared Chen Fan’s revenge.
Fear was particularly strong in Brother Zhang. He hated Xiao w.a.n.g for dragging him into this mess.
Without Xiao w.a.n.g’s foolish encouragement, he would never have made a move on A’Xiu.
However, it turned out that A’Xiu’s boyfriend was not just a no account; he was Master Chen, who was able to bend the will of powerful tyc.o.o.ns such as Xin Zhong. It would be as easy as squas.h.i.+ng a worm for Chen Fan to deal with Brother Zhang: a lowly provincial Sanshou fighter.
The promise of Chen Fan’s revenge hangs over Xiao w.a.n.g’s head like a sharp knife. He trembled from time to time and looked at his girlfriend with s.h.i.+fty eyes.
His only hope in saving himself was the connection between Yang Li and Chen Fan’s cousin. He would have to beg his girlfriend, who he often sneered at for her uselessness, to save his life.
Yang Li was taken aback by the development and started to take a long hard look at her boy friend’s motivation. It wasn’t long before she saw through Xiao w.a.n.g’s ruse. He was trying to set up Brother Zhang and Chen Fan’s girlfriend all along! What a fool! If Chen Fan was just an ordinary high school student, the worst harm he could do was a fall out in a relations.h.i.+p with Chen Fan.
However, he was revealed to be the all mighty Master Chen, and he wouldn’t react too kindly to Xiao w.a.n.g and Brother Zhang’s scheme.
Suddenly, a body of black suits stopped them, one of them said with a stoic face: “Master Chen wants to see you.”
Struck by fear, Xiao w.a.n.g and Brother Zhang nearly collapsed to the ground.
Yang Li managed to keep calm and replied, “Take us to him, please.”
They met Chen Fan in a small courtyard.
He sat in a chair and was fidgeting with a grey crystal between his fingers. He looked relaxed, and one would be hard pressed to see a mighty master in this teenage boy.
Around him were the bosses from Jiang Bei. They all held a solemn cast on their faces and listened to Chen Fan’s airy remarks with a great measure of respect.
Yang Li and her friends walked into the courtyard quietly, scarcely daring to breathe.
Chen Fan said lightly.
“Although A’Xiu was not my girlfriend, you had made a move on her nonetheless. What do you think I should do with you?”
Xiao w.a.n.g and Brother Zhang quivered. Without much thought, they both dropped their knees and started begging for their lives.
Yang Li also put in, “It’s all our fault, but please let them live for Yang Li’s sake!”
“Let them live?” Chen Fan smiled. “Sure. But you are not allowed to tell my cousin what had happened today.
“If you break your promise, I will see to it that you and your family will suffer. Do you understand? ”
“Yes.” Yang Li answered. She knew that the lives of her entire family were at stake. Xiao w.a.n.g and Brother Zhang looked to Yang Li appreciatively.
“Fine, you can leave now.” Chen Fan waved a dismiss. Everyone hurried out of the courtyard except for A’Xiu.
“Master Chen, you are just going to let them leave?” Xu Ao asked incredulously.
“I don’t want to waste my time on them. It isn’t worth it.” Chen Fan said lightly.
After all, he didn’t care all that much about A’Xiu either.
If it were Xiao Qiong whom they were scheming against, he would not let them leave alive.
Afterward, He looked at another person kneeling on the ground in front of him.
“Master Wu, how do I know you have told me the truth?”
“My lord, if I had told you one single lie, I will be hit by a bus as soon as I walk out of here. Oh.. and so will my teacher and his teacher.” Master Wu swore, and then he continued, “It’s true that The Yin Dragon Pond in my sect produces Yin Crystals. However, due to its powerful Yin spirit, these crystals are only suitable for Ghost Reining and nothing else.”
“Fine, I will let you live in exchange for this piece of information.” Chen Fan looked at the grey crystal in between his fingers and smiled. “I was worried that I would never be able to complete the Misty Mountain Array. But look what I found! Haha.”
“Well, it looks like I will have to leave Chu Zhou City for a while.”
He looked into the distance with glinting eyes. The meaning of his words escaped everyone around him.
