“What are you guys talking about?”
Chen Fan sat down and looked at stupified Liu Teng.
“Chen Fan, you are finally here!” Xu Rongfei called out to him excitedly. “Brother Baldy is talking about Master Chen, come listen! He said Master Chen was only in his twenties, not that much older than us.”
“Can you imagine that? He was only in his twenties, yet he is already more powerful than my dad! How did he do that?”
Chen Fan ruffled the hair on top of her head lovingly and then said:
“However powerful Master Chen is, he is just an ordinary man. However, Fei-Fei is going to be a superstar in the future.”
“Oh, you! Stop talking to me like I am a kid.” Xu Rongfei complained kittenishly.
A friend of Liu Teng overheard Chen Fan’s words; he snorted and said contemptuously: “Master Chen’s’s influence can be felt across Jiang Bei. Just the amount of money at his disposal is over a billion. A meager actress couldn’t compare.”
He wagged his head as he continued, “Common folks like you could never even try to imagine the power of Master Chen.
“All the rich and powerful were at his beck and call. If he wanted to make a move into the entertainment industry, all the companies that are already in the field would have to make way for him.
“Therefore, if you can’t help being stupid, at least you can shut up.”
This young boy was a companion of Liu Teng, and he had been giving Chen Fan the cold shoulder as soon as he registered that Chen Fan seemed to be at the bottom of the totem pole.
“You!” Xu Rongfei and Jiang Tanqiu were both angered by the rude remarks. However, even as they were going to refute the speaker, they heard a loud slapping.
“Pa!”
Liu Teng jumped out of his chair and slapped the boy’s face hard.
“Young Lord Teng?” The slap dumbfounded the teenager; he froze in pace and was not sure why it had happened to him.
“I have tolerated your insolence for too long. Apologize to Master….Mr. Chen immediately!” Liu Teng shouted.
Fear rose inside of him as he castigated his companion.
Chen Fan might not know Liu Teng, but Liu Teng had recognized Chen Fan.
During the tournament, he was standing right behind Liu Guodong and saw Chen Fan’s heroic act of killing Lin Hu with three mighty punches and sealed the fate of Xin Zhong with one finger.
The execution was so overpowering and coldhearted that the scene was permanently tattooed in Liu Teng’s mind.
“Brother Chen, I apologize for his insolence. Please forgive him.”
After he had punished his companion for speaking rudely, he apologized to Chen Fan immediately.
Everyone was at a loss as to why Liu Teng suddenly grew so soft.
Chen Fan was only a no account who tagged along with Chu Minhui, was it necessary to give him so much respect?
“Could it be that Young Lord Teng valued Brother Chu’s friends.h.i.+p so much that he thinks anyone related to Brother Chu deserves his utmost respect?” Zhao Shen was at a loss and could not think of an explanation for Young Lord Teng’s action.
Chen Fan gave Liu Teng a half smile, and it scared Liu Teng so much that he felt sweat trickling down his back. Chen Fan nodded and let the matter slide.
After Liu Teng sat down, his cold att.i.tude was gone; instead, he became much friendlier and was eager to please. His sudden change of att.i.tude took everyone from both cities by surprise. The teenagers from the city of Clear Water had never seen Liu Teng be so ardent and approachable to any guest before.
Jiang Churan and Li Yichen were quick to register that something was amiss.
Jiang Churan ate the food quietly, and she glanced at Chen Fan surrept.i.tiously. Her suspicion grew by the second as she became convinced that Chen Fan was the reason that Liu Teng changed his mind.
“I am so sorry, everyone. I have some other matters to attend to; please enjoy your meal.”
Liu Teng only finished half of his plate before stress and fear grew so strong that he had to excuse himself.
A short moment later, Chen Fan also excused himself and left the table. Since he was a no account, no one seemed to care he was leaving except for Jiang Churan. She furrowed her brows and fell into thought.
Chen Fan walked out of the cafeteria and sauntered into a pavilion. As he had expected, there were people waiting for him already.
Seeing Chen Fan had arrived, one man in the pavilion hurried to come over to Chen Fan and bowed deeply.
“Master Chen, why didn’t you give us heads up?”
“You know me?” Chen Fan asked calmly
“I was there at the tournament with my uncle, and I have seen you with my own eyes.”
“Ah, I see.” Chen Fan nodded, and then he cracked a smile. “Since you have recognized me, why didn’t you tell everyone who I am?”
Sweat hung on Liu Teng’s forehead despite the fact that it was in the middle of winter.
“I wagered that you didn’t want anyone else to know who you are. Therefore I dared not spill the beans.”
Liu Teng felt lucky that his brain was quick enough to think twice before he called Chen Fan Master Chen.
He had carefully observed the power dynamic among the group, and Chen Fan didn’t stand out as the leader. In addition, the fact that neither he nor his uncle knew that Master Chen was coming to the resort meant that Master Chen didn’t want anyone to know he was here.
