The news had stirred the crowd.
As the leader of the younger generation of the Han Family, Han Juntu’s name was well known among the elite circle of Jinlin City. Even many older generation elites praised Han Juntu for his extraordinary talent and ability.
Unlike his younger brother, Han Juntu was born to be a leader.
He grew up in a compound style house with many other families and even when he was a child, Han Juntu had displayed exceptional leaders.h.i.+p skills among his childhood playmates. Once he grew older, he took over the family business and ran it with ease. Han Juntu was a social b.u.t.terfly and had the super-star-like swagger which gave him the ability to play his audience with ease. He quickly became the de facto leader among the younger generation elites, including those whose family power was on par with Han Family. Although he had never served in the military and neither did he worked in the government, most people saw him as the next leader of the Han Family of Yan Jin. Even Li Wuchen was impressed by the young man and watched his growth carefully.
If Han Juntu showed up in the ballroom, that mean the Han Family had fully committed to their cause. It would also mean the further escalation of the situation. It would no longer be a squabble between two heirs, it would be a showdown between two mighty family clans.
It was obvious that the Han Family of Yan Jin had a decisive advantage over the Chen family.
“Tsk tsk… the Chen family is in deep trouble.”
“I have heard many things about Han Juntu, none of them bode well for Chen Fan. I have heard that a girl who was betrothed to him wanted to back out of the engagement. To punish the girl and her family, Han Juntu had led a group of thugs and kicked the family out of Yan Jin.”
“If Han Juntu is here, we are in for a good show.”
Some people gloated over Chen Fan’s impending trouble, some watched on with furrowed brows, and some were simply there to find out what will happen next.
However, deep down in most onlookers’ hearts, they were on the side of the Song Family and the Han Family. The Chen family’s sudden rise to power had made it an obvious target. The hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out, and the winds howled around the highest peaks.
Any newly risen power would invite hostility and resentment from the establishment.
There were often only two options for the new power: either join them or become stronger and subjugate them by force.
Those were the two choices the Chen family had to face.
Despite Song Shunhua’s sneering remark, Chen Fan simply replied: “Do you think those family clans are my worthy opponent?”
Even without the memory of the invincible North Mystic Celestial Lord, Chen Fan in this lifetime had already killed many Grandmasters and brought many powerful families to heel. Just recently, he had proven his power by defeating an entire brigade of the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces and killed the leader of the Mitsui Group, Mitsui Kazuo.
The few families in Zhong Hai and Jinlin City would pale in comparison with the might of Mitsui Kazuo and the j.a.panese government. Even the family lord of the Han Family would not deserve more than one glance from Chen Fan.
At Chen Fan’s level, only those super-power nations on this planet could have deterred him, and no one else could.
He was a living legend, the most powerful man in the Dark World.
However, no one in the ballroom knew of Chen Fan’s achievements. The crowd sizzled with anger and indignation after they heard Chen Fan’s outrageous remark. Chen Fan’s words didn’t only target the Song Family, but also members of all other families, many of them were in the ballroom.
Song Shunhua’s face contorted with anger.
“Very well, Master Chen. Let’s just wait for Young Lord Han to arrive. I want to know who will be the last one laughing.”
Even as he said that his cell phone rang. Song Shunhua answered the phone and then a smile broke over his face.
“Young Lord Han has arrived.”
Han Juntu has arrived?
The news brought hopes and broad smiles to the faces of the guests in the ballroom, many of them were from the Song Family, Ren Family, and the Hua Family. Song Shunhua led the way to the entrance, trailing a large group of men and women who wanted to see the legendary heir of the Han Family of Yan Jin.
Suddenly, the entire ballroom was empty, leaving only the Chen family members such as Chen Ning and Chen An as well a few other close allies of the Chen family. However, the morale of the group was low and everyone pulled a long face, blaming Chen Fan for his reckless actions.
Qiao Luoyin had remained with them, and she also looked troubled.
“Chen Fan, you are too reckless.” Chen An heaved a sigh and preached Chen Fan. “Song Duanmin is just a clown, he is not worth it for us to wage a war with the Song Family. Worse, You have forced Han Hongkun to his knees and made us an enemy of the mighty Han Family of Yan Jin. I don’t think we will stand a chance.”
“You have also fallen right into the rhetorical trap of Song Shunhua and made yourself a public enemy. However capable you are, you can’t s.h.i.+eld the Chen family from the combined ire of all families in Jinlin City.”
Chen An said heavily. He sounded like an elder brother trying to talk some sense into a reckless younger brother.
The rest of the Chen family members nodded in agreement.
Although Chen Fan had brought his family members fame and wealth, that didn’t amount to them being blind to Chen Fan’s obvious faults. Chen An confronted Chen Fan directly because he cared for him as a brother and hoped Chen Fan would improve.
