Chapter 284: Are You Talking About Me?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Chen Fan had tied up the rest of the loose ends, he was ready to leave Hong Kong.

All the material for building the Dharma Array was stuffed by him into the Dimension Altering Dharma Treasure. The Dharma Array material, like most Spirit Material, didn’t take up much s.p.a.ce at all. Chen Fan didn’t end up going to the Chinese Esotericism conference since he had already gotten what he was looking for.

Meanwhile, the Zheng’s Financial Group was also finally on the right track, the last remaining issue yet to be resolved was the Loong family.

“People would die for money just as birds would for food.”

Chen Fan stood at the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. On the sparkling sh.o.r.e of Deep Water Bay, the Loong family’s mansion was well lit, s.h.i.+ning like a jewel.

People would always risk their lives for money. They could engage in all kinds of dangerous activities such as murder, arson, robbery, drugs and so on. For money, the would trample the rule of law under their feet. The Zheng’s Financial Group looked like a tender mutton chop, luring the alligators to prowl about, waiting for their opportunity to lash out. Chen Fan was convinced that as soon as he left Hong Kong, they would unsheathe their fangs and bury their teeth and dig them into the Zheng’s Financial Group.

However competent and talented Zheng Anqi was, she was just a girl.

Without the same rough and tumble experience as her grandpa had, she lacked prestige and connections. Even her father had worked from the bottom of the Zheng’s Group and therefore had earned the trust of many employees.

Even now, rumors were spreading that Zheng Anqi had capitulated to Chen Fan both mentally and physically. Without offering pleasure to Chen Fan during the night, she would never be able to sit in the CEO’s position. Sometimes even Zheng Anqi felt the rumor seemed more plausible than reality.

A girl such as her would be able to run a company when everything was smooth sailing, but would quickly be overwhelmed once the other magnates swarmed at her.

“There were over a few dozen billion at stake. If I were them, I would do the same.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

In his past life, the Sheng family had orchestrated his mother’s car accident for the Jin Xiu Group. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine what people would do when the stakes were as high as a corporation that owned four public companies. Chen Fan might have successfully projected a large shadow in others’ minds, in reality, he had only killed four men in Hong Kong so far.

They were Nin Tianchen, Zhou Daoji, Zheng Zhongming, and Nie Shunchen.

The Chen’s Group had forgiven Zhang Ziru, the Zhou Family, the Zheng family, and the Nie family. Chen Fan was not surprised at all that the Loong family would brave the risk to get a piece of pie from the Zheng’s Financial Group due to his benevolence. Even a superpower such as America has enemies who dared to hijack planes and crash them into their national symbol of pride and wealth.

“But I wager that after today, there should be no one who dares to challenge me again.”

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and made his way toward the mansion of the Loong family.

The Loong family was one of the top ten family clans in Hong Kong and most of their business was in the financial sector, such as banks, insurance, and stock shares. In part, that was what drove the Loong family to vie for a share from the falling Zheng’s Financial Group.

The Loong family mansion was lit up with bright lights.

The Old man Loong, Loong Jun and many other leaders of the Loong family gathered around an old man.

The old man was wearing a plain colored robe that reached his bare feet on the expensive wool blanket. He wore no trinkets nor was there any decorative elements on his clothing, making him look like a mendicant monk. This monk’s eyes were closed shut as if he was blind; on his forehead, a red line wiggled about.

A short and small man stood behind the old man, he was the Muay Thai Grandmaster, Alodi.

“Master Dashava, your presence honors us.”

The Old Man Loong, Loong Jianxin slapped the armrest and said with a broad smile on his face.

At the age of seventy, he was the youngest of all the top dogs in Hong Kong. He made his first pot of gold in the finance sector and rose to power. His profession had given him a shrewd mind and a sharp vision for the future. Even as the other top dogs were dithering about whether they should accept Chen Fan or rise against him, Loong Jianxin was the first to notice the power vacuum left by the last Feng Shui Master and sought to fill that vacuum with one of his allies.

That vacuum was left by Zhou Daoji. No one dared to think of challenging him when he was still alive. However, as soon as he was dead, opportunity arose, particularly when most of the elites in Hong Kong had yet to accept Chen Fan.

Therefore, Loong Jianxin acted decisively and went to Chiang Mai to personally invite one of the four deadliest Gong Tau master Dashava Kunloon to Hong Kong. Kunloon was of Chinese descent, therefore could be easily accepted by the elites of Hong Kong compared to other candidates. Many rich and powerful people had already visited this powerful master during some point in their lives.

“Lord Loong can just call me by my Chinese name ‘Zhang Qinhuan’ or Kunloon”

Kunloon looked very humble.

He had just arrived in Hong Kong and still need to rely on Loong family’s power to slowly exert his influence. Unlike Chen Fan, he understood the importance of building an amicable relations.h.i.+p with the elites of Hong Kong. Chen Fan had chosen fear as a tool to bring the elites to their knees, but Kunlong had adopted a different method.

He had designed to plant his roots in Hong Kong, hire a large number of disciples and eventually become the next guardian of Hong Kong.

“You are too humble, master.” Lord Loong’s face bloomed.

“Master Kunloon, we are all curious as to how you are going to deal with Chen Beixuan?” Loong Jun asked impatiently.

The Chen’s Group was what’s stood in between the vultures such as the Loong family and Zheng’s Financial Group. Without striking him down, no one would have a share of the pie. The Loong family was not stupid and therefore they would never confront Chen Fan directly. All they had been doing before this point was simplifying opportunistic probings that were not enough to invite Chen Fan’s ire.

“Chen Beixuan?” Kunloon smiled faintly. “You guys have thought too highly of him. He is just a young man, powerful as he is, but he doesn’t quite understand how to use his power yet.”

“If I were him, I would publicly challenge Zhou Daoji and after the victory was secured, I would treat the Zheng family much more fairly than he had. What does ten billion mean to me when I can replace Zhou Daoji’s position in Hong Kong?”
