“Her English name was Anna and her Chinese name was Zheng Anqi. She is a supermodel and was on the cover of VOGUE three times already. Even the chief designer at Versace invited her over to model for the brand.” Zhou Qinya explained.

It was evident that she was well versed in the fas.h.i.+on industry. VOGUE was one of the most successful female magazines in the world. To be able to appear on its cover page spoke loudly of Zheng Anqi’s fame in the fas.h.i.+on circle.

“Plus, she was also the female heir of the Zheng family, the daughter of the Zheng Haochang, owner of the Zhens Financial Group. Her grandfather was the legendary Zheng Zhongming. Her mother was royalty from England, a daughter of a duke or what have you. Anna had over billions of a.s.sets she could easily inherit, but she decided to create her own success in the fas.h.i.+on industry.”

Zhou Qinya filled Chen Fan in about the Zheng family. Her voice was laced with admiration.

The Zheng family of Hong Kong was a reputable family among Chinese communities. Zheng Zhongming had been on the Forbes Rich List for decades. Even the Sheng family and the Chen family would come off as nouveau riche compared to the Zheng family. I wager that only Zhang Donghai, the richest man of Jiang Nan Province could have rivaled the Zheng family.

As Zhou Qinya’s idol, Zheng Anqi was an epitome of beauty, wealth and talent.

“I know her.” Chen Fan replied.

“You know of Zheng Anqi as well? I thought only those boys who are interested in fas.h.i.+on would know of Anna.” Zhou Qinya was taken aback, and then she smiled mischievously and asked: “Are you a fan of Anna? Do you like her type?”

“No. She owes me money. That’s all.” Chen Fan replied lightly.

“Owes you money?” Zhou Qinya frowned in disbelief. “Anna was the heir of the Zheng family of Hong Kong. Her father owned the Zhens Financial Group that was worth over a few trillion. How could she ever owe you any money?”

Zhou Qinya asked with suspicion.

Although Chen family was considered powerful in Jin City, they were insignificant in Hong Kong. The connections and resources at the Zheng family’s disposal were incredible and the Chen family simply couldn’t compare. Zheng family also had connections with all kinds of other financial groups and organizations that the Chen family might have never even heard of. Zhou Qinya thought that Chen Fan meant that he knew of Zheng Anqi, instead of him knowing her personally.

Chen Fan smiled lightly and didn’t reply.

He wagered that it would be difficult to explain the trillion-dollar debt to the girl so he didn’t even bother.

Seeing Chen Fan had kept his silence, Zhou Qinya also kept her questions to herself.

Four hours later, they finally landed at the Hong Kong International airport. The hotel that Qiu Yilun had booked had already sent a chauffeur to pick them up. As soon as Chen Fan and his friends entered the airport, they registered an unmistakable sense of opulence in society.

It was really worthy of being called an International Metropolis. People from all over the world bustled inside the airport. They spoke English, Spanish, Thai, j.a.panese, and Korean and so on. Many people were having a short layover at the airport and would be on their way to elsewhere in the world.

Chen Fan nodded. Back in 2008, Hong Kong was much more modern than Jin City. However, in his memory, Hong Kong seemed to have held onto its compet.i.tive edge for the ten years to come but slowly, the city went downhill. Cities in mainland China finally caught up with her and some, such as Zhong Hai and Yan Jin City even surpa.s.sed it.

“Huh?”

Chen Fan projected his Divine Sense out and felt that there were a few men and women around him who had possessed Dharmic Powers. Ever since the Martial Arts Conference at Lin City, he hadn’t seen so many powerful martial artists at once. Plus, this was just inside of the airport, how many more Martial Artists were there throughout the entire Hong Kong?

“NO… they are not just martial artists, they were Dao-Reaching Level cultivators as well?”

Chen Fan furrowed his brows.

Ever since he was reborn, most martial artists he had met were Internal Force users, and rarely did he met any spell caster who used Dharma Spells. He could only remember seeing a few of them at the Ghost Witch Sect, the Bai family of Southwest China, and at the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect.

The difficulties in cultivating the Dharmic Dao was what contributed to the small number of spell casters. Although the Sect Master of the Bai family had reached the peak of the Dao-Reaching Level at a young age, his talent was exceptionally rare. Fearing his potential, the other six family clans of the southwest China even ganged up on him. However, the martial arts world never lacked talents. There were enough Transcendent Grandmasters in China to even make a list. On the other hand, it was almost impossible to meet a Perfected Cultivator. So far, Chen Fan only knew two of them: the King of Elixirs and the Sect Master of the Ghost Witch Sect.

“Could it be that Hong Kong was the haven for spell casters? I heard that the southerners in China were experts in Feng Shui and Chinese Esotericism. Masters of those matters were wors.h.i.+pped by the public. It appears that the rumor was true.”

However, that still didn’t explain the unusually high number of Dao-Reaching Level cultivators. With the task at hand nagging him in his mind, he let the matter rest and followed Qiu Yilun into the car and went toward the hotel.

The moment Chen Fan pulled back his Divine Will, many people in the airport looked toward Chen Fan’s direction suspiciously.

“What’s going on, grandpa?”

A woman in a vibrant red outfit asked.

“Strange! Why did I feel like I was being watched?” A white-haired old man rubbed his chin and said in confusion.
