“Shu, shu, shu.”

A large group of men in black suits emerged into the garden. They were all brawny and muscular men with hard faces that was filled with malicious intent.

“Just you guys?”

Chen Fan cracked a cold smile.

He was surrounded by about a hundred men, each and every one of them were seasoned veterans whose fighting power was on par with a black belt in Taekwondo or a sanshou fighter such as Xiao Long.

However, as an Internal Force user, Chen Fan should be able to easily do away with a hundred hitmen.

“Of course not. We knew that you are Master Chen. Don’t worry, we have done our homework.” Tang Yifei’s lips curled into a smile and then she clapped her hands. Five more men emerged out from behind a man-made stone hill.

Energies that emanated from these five fighters were much stronger than those men in black suits. Their glinting eyes and snappy movements of the two middle-aged man suggested that they were of phenomenal success in their internal force cultivation while the three other younger fighters were of initial success level.

“They are Uncle Hu, Uncle Nan and three of my father’s disciples.” Tang Yifei introduced the five men distractedly. “They were trained by my family and excelled at striking as a team. Even a peak level Internal Force user won’t be able to withstand their combined might.”

“Is that so?” Chen Fan asked calmly.

The Tang family of Jiang Nan province wouldn’t be an influential faction if they couldn’t even pull off five Internal Force users. Although they were much more powerful than run-of-the-mill factions, Chen Fan didn’t take the threat seriously.

“Master Chen used to kill the Alaskan Tiger with three punches, I wager that he won’t take you seriously, Uncle Nan.” Tang Yifei cracked a smile.

“Humph!!”

One of the phenomenal success level Internal Force users snorted but didn’t refute.

Tang family had long since learned about Chen Fan’s dominance in Jiang Bei. They suspected that even the five Internal force users would not be able to overcome him.

“Therefore, I have arranged three elite snipers at three different high spots outside of the garden. I have heard that Master Chen used to block Xin Zhong’s hand gunfire using Dharmic Dao, I wager if you would be able to survive armor-penetrating sniper rounds?”

Tang Yifei finally revealed her hand, including her trump card: the snipers.

Suddenly, a few red dots appeared over Chen Fan’s body. It jittered and darted back and forth between his head and chest. Those red dots were laser pointers on sniper rifles.

These snipers would give Chen Fan no chance in turning the table. Even a top martial artist wouldn’t be able to survive a shot from a sniper. These sniper munitions were able to pierce through steel-plated walls and if it landed on a human skull, it would cause a catastrophic explosion. Even a Grandmaster such as Lu Tianfen would have a hard time defending himself against a sniper shot.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows and appeared to be scared.

“Well, I have heard of your power and naturally, I am afraid. So these measures are only to level the ground between us, so to speak.” Tang Yifei bowed and then said: “You are the kingpin in the Jiang Bei region and we resided in Jin City; we had alway minded out own businesses. So I am curious as to what has brought you here?”

She looked up and locked her sharp gaze on to Chen Fan.

“Do you believe me if I tell you that I am here only for Xiao Qiong?” Chen Fan asked lightly.

“No!” Tang Yifei answered readily, eyes glinting. “Master Chen, at your level and with your power, you can have anyone you want. I am not convinced that you will be so dedicated to one particular girl.”

“However beautiful Fang Qiong was, I can find ten other girls who are at least as attractive as her, if not more so. In terms of family background, I have a list of rich princesses who are from more well-off families. They would throw themselves into your arms should you so much as give them a wink.”

Tang Yifei cracked a smile and then said: “So tell me, how would I believe that you are here for Fang Qiong?”

Chen Fan kept his silence and didn’t reply.

Although he could have any girl he wanted, and it was true that many girls would die for spending a night in the same bed with him, Tang Yifei was wrong. Chen Fan came to Jin City just for Fang Qiong; it was as simple as that.

The so-called dominance of Jiang Bei, and the appearance of supremacy worth nothing compared to a smile on Fang Qiong’s face. He used to be the North Mystic Celestial Lord and had power and influence trillion times more impressive than what he had now, so he wouldn’t give a d.a.m.n about his achievement in Jiang Bei.

“Why don’t you say something, Master Chen?” Tang Yifei asked sharply. “Oh, let me guess. You are actually here to pick a bone with the Sheng family. I wager you have already sent Xu Ao and others into the Jin City and are ready to strike out at both us and the Sheng family.”

“Er…” Chen Fan suddenly felt a lack of words.

He wanted to tell the girl that she had been thinking too much. He also wanted to tell the girl that if he really wanted to claim Jiang Nan province, he could have killed Tang Yuanqin with a single slap in the face. There would be no need to put up the ruse and set up the scheme.
