Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

To Chen Fan, Nie Shunchen was just a small crawling insect. He had a million different ways to make Nie Shunchen’s life h.e.l.l. The simplest method, for example, Chen Fan could make a phone call to the Zheng’s Financial Group and order the CFO of the company to start hedging against the stock of Hua Yi Entertainment. In terms of market worth, the Hua Yi Entertainment was just a drop in the bucket when compared with the Zheng’s Financial Group.

However profitable and valuable an entertainment group was, its financial clout was a far cry from that of an investment firm such as the Zheng’s Financial Group.

Nie Yuanhu and the Shareholders of Hua Yi Entertainment would be unnerved by their losses, but Chen Fan wouldn’t. If he wanted to, he could squander all of the Zheng’s Financial Group on making Hua Yi Entertainment’s life h.e.l.l.

Chen Fan was also backed by many influential forces in Hong Kong, including powerful spellcasters, high-level officials in the mainland, Lu family of Lin City, Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect, and the military. The combined might of all these forces could easily crush Hua Yi Entertainment. However, Chen Fan had chosen the most direct and quick method.

Kill.

When Nie Shunchen demanded him and his friends to bend their knees and threatened to throw them off the s.h.i.+p, Chen Fan had already had the urge to kill him. Although he would like to continue pretending and play the life of an ordinary college student, he wouldn’t let these dogs step on his toes and do nothing.

The number one rule in the Martial arts community was not to mess with Grandmasters, let along the North Mystic Celestial Lord.

In the known universe, Chen Fan would display his strength for the entire planet to see by killing a large group of cultivators who dared to insult him. To claim supremacy, Chen Fan not only needed strength, but also the will power to put such strength to use.

The necessity of having the willpower to use destructive force was evident during the Cuba Nuclear Crisis. The American president threatened to use nuclear warheads, and finally scared off the Soviet Union.

The detail of what Chen Fan had done to the Zheng family was a well-kept secret among very few individuals. Therefore, most of the tyc.o.o.ns in Hong Kong only considered Chen Fan a new rising star. Even though they had heard bits and pieces about the event that occurred at the Jiu Long mountain, no one really believed in it. Therefore. Nie Shunchen was not scared of him even after Chen Fan’s ident.i.ty was revealed and hoped to resolve the conflict through peaceful means. He was not alone in his delusion, many investment groups had planned to hedge against the Zheng’s Financial Group when it was rudderless.

However, after they saw Chen Fan had killed Nie Shunchen with such decisiveness, they were all shocked to the core.

From then on, no one in the entire Hong Kong would ever flaunt their dominance over the Zheng’s Financial Group.

That was why Chen Fan killed the young man.

“Perfected Cultivator Chen, I am afraid that the party has ended. I will accompany you back to your accommodation.” Qiu Yulin bowed slightly and said.

“There is no need.” Chen Fan waved a hand at him.

He had already achieved his goal here, and there was no need for him to linger.

Chen Fan scanned the crowd and noticed that everyone, including Lu Zhengyu and Li Xinru, were shaken by the development. The color drained from their faces as they registered Chen Fan’s gaze landed on them. Li Xinru’s legs trembled in fear and finally gave in, bringing the actress down to the ground.

None of the tyc.o.o.ns and magnates dared to look Chen Fan in the eyes. Qiu Yilun and the other teenagers were more surprised than afraid compared to the other people. The unimaginable power of their roommate had stunned them. They finally realized that Chen Fan was not only just a new rising billionaire in Hong Kong, but he could also take other’s life on a whim.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Fan slapped Qiu Yilun’s shoulder and walked toward the exit. The crowd made way for him, making a path in the crowded room. Everyone looked to Chen Fan with complicated yet strong feelings. There were shock, doubt and fear. However, no one dared to protest against his display of brutality.

Qiu Yilun and the others finally gathered themselves and caught up with Chen Fan. Zhou Qinya paused a second as a light flashed in her eyes before she hurried to follow her friends. Yun Qianqian hesitated for a while, unsure if she should leave or stay.

On one side was the CEO of her company, the other was Chen Fan. She was at a loss as to what to do.

“Qianqian, please look after Mr. Chen for me.”

A voice rose behind her, she looked back and saw it was Nie Yuanhu who call out to her.

Despite the immeasurable pain and sadness in his husky voice, he was able to remain calm. He was one of the most influential men in the entertainment industry and had lived a rough and tumble life before he rose to power. Therefore, he was able to hold back his anger and sorrow and remain relatively clear-minded.

“Yes, Boss Nie.” Yun Qianqian was taken aback at first and then nodded her consent. She turned around and caught up with Chen Fan.

After Yun Qianqian was gone, Nie Yuanhu finally rose to his feet. Despite himself, he squeezed out a smile and said: “I apologize for the accident, my son had a stroke and needs medical care.”

Even as Nie Yuanhu apologized, he called out to the manager of the banquet hall. “Xiao Nin, please look after the guests for me.”

“Will do, Boss Nie.” Manager Nin nodded.

Many people hurried to offer their condolences: “Boss Nie, no one wanted to see this happen. Don’t worry about us, please take good care of your son.”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Nie Shunchen carried Nie Shunchen’s lifeless body and plodded out of the banquet hall.

As soon as Nie Yuanhu was gone, the entire hall boiled over.
