Chapter 263 - The Challenge Arrives (2/2)

For a while, no one in the Zheng family spoke a word.

After he learned Chen Fan’s prowess, tension started to hang in the air, nagging everyone’s nerves insistently. Even Zheng Haomin had to admit that Chen Fan might have been the most threatening opponent the Zheng family had ever faced.

“What should we do?” Despair and panic surfaced on Zheng Haochang’s face.

He was just one of the many heirs of the family when the s.h.i.+t really hit the fan, he quickly turned into a bundle of nerves.

“Don’t worry! Your dad is still alive.” Zheng Zhongming rose to his feet and knocked the floor with the walking stick. “Powerful he might be, but the Zheng family is not a pushover either. Worst comes worst, he will just take my life. If he wants to insult my family name, well, over my dead body!”

“Dad!”

Feeling ashamed of themselves, many second-generation leaders exclaimed with a guilty expression. Even Mr. s.h.i.+ was deeply touched my Old Man Zheng’s determination.

Zheng Zhongming grew up during a tumultuous time and started an enormous enterprise from nothing. He was determined and full of gusto, his sons and grandsons simply couldn’t compare.

“Haomin.” Zheng Zhongming cleared his throat and said: “Contact the seventeen factions of Hong Kong’s underworld, I need to have a word with their bosses.”

“Yes, dad!” Zheng Haomin stood up and said.

“Haochang, please formulate a letter to the Hong Kong Governor on my behalf.”

“Yes, dad!”

“Haoun…”

Zheng Zhongming a.s.signed tasks to all the family members and finally got everyone going. The Zheng family had been building up their strength in Hong Kong over a decade and by now, it had acc.u.mulated unimaginable resources and influence. Even the Wei family of the Northern Bank would pale in comparison with the Zheng family much less the Sheng family or the Chen family. Over the century, the Zheng family had built an unshakeable foundation and its power was beyond the measure of money. As long as the Old Man Zheng was still alive, the Zheng family would not fall apart.

After he had finished a.s.signing the tasks, Zheng Zhongming turned around and looked at Mr. s.h.i.+.

“Would you be so kind as to send a message for me to Master Zhou Daoji? I wish to pay a visit to him tonight.”

“You mean…?” Mr. s.h.i.+ was taken aback by the request.

“Nin Tianchen was his personal disciple. I doubt he could simply sit around and let Nin Tianchen die in vain.” A sly smile surfaced on Zheng Zhongming’s face.”Thirty years ago, I watched with my own eyes as he trapped a Grandmaster using nine dragons and killed the Grandmaster with one finger. I wonder if Zhou Daoji still has it thirty years later.”

“Yes, understood.”

Mr. s.h.i.+ lowered his head.

Old Man Zheng rarely got involved in outside business, but if he did, he could always avert the crisis with decisive and swift actions. Although Mr. s.h.i.+ was still doubtful that the old man was able to make Chen Fan pay for what he had done, the promise of retaliation should have scared off any ordinary Grandmaster.

Afterall, Grandmasters were all mortals and had friends and families who were vulnerable. Any Grandmaster who disregarded the rule of law and murdered innocent people on a large scale would have been dealt with by the government. Most Grandmasters knew not to mess with local tyc.o.o.ns because once the local tyc.o.o.ns joined forces, they would pose a threat to any Grandmaster.

“However, Chen Beixuan was not just any ordinary Grandmaster…”

A pang of concern rose inside of Mr. s.h.i.+

Meanwhile, Chen Fan didn’t return hotel, instead, he carried Zheng Anqi to the top of a small hill nearby.
