Chapter 401: You Are No Match Against Him
Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations
Chen Ning had a recurring dream.
In the dream, the Chen family had claimed the seat of power in Jinlin City and commanded all the rest of the elite families such as the Song Family, Hua Family, and the Ren Family. Even their family lords had to bow to the might of the Chen family. The Chen family members were so proud of their family heritage in her dream that they would call out to everyone in the street to announce that they were one of the Chen family.
Chen Ning always thought it was a silly dream, but now she felt that the dream was becoming true.
The person who was making her dream come true was the cousin that she never liked.
“That’s so stupid.”
Chen Ning thought to herself.
Suddenly, she heard someone shout: “Brother, why did you kick me? You should go after that a.s.shole! We are the greatest family in Yan Jin, why are we afraid of a country hillbilly from Jiang Bei?”
The person shouting at the top of his lungs was Han Hongkun.
Second Lord Han was still oblivious of the knee-deep trouble he was in. Despite the blood and bruises on his face, he yelled indignantly at his brother.
No one spoke a word as they looked at Han Juntu expectantly. They asked the same question in their minds.
“Yes, why?”
The Han Family of Yan Jin was one of the most powerful families in China. Being so close to the center of the power, they were at the very top of the totem pole. Only the w.a.n.g Family and Xiao Family could have brought them to heel. However, Han Juntu talked to Chen Fan as if a criminal would to a police officer, devoid of any confidence or his usual charm. The Song Family members racked their brains to find a reason that would explain Han Juntu’s strange actions, but they found none.
“Master Chen of Jiang Bei?”
That must be a disguise then since the Han Family could have pinned any tyc.o.o.n in Jiang Bei under their thumb with ease.
“General Major at the Cang Dragon?”
Han Family had produced countless generals, among its family members, the rank of General-Major was barely anything worthy of mentioning.
“The praise of the military chief?”
That wouldn’t mean anything to the Han family either. Old man Han commanded so much authority that he could challenge the military chief directly, he wouldn’t care less about the chief’s comment. Even Han Juntu had often brushed shoulders with many military chiefs.
Song Shunhua couldn’t figure it out, so he turned to Han Juntu, hoping he would offer an answer.
Qiao Luoyin suddenly realized something was amiss.
“Could the key in solving the mystery lie in Chen Fan’s top position on the Heaven roll? I knew most great families were afraid of Grandmasters, but would Han Family fear them too? I don’t think so. Even if the Grandmaster was powerful enough to handle an army, they would still capitulate to the deadly force of modern weapons. Chen Fan is a Martial Artist, not superman.”
The thought of Chen Fan in a superhero suit amused her. She allowed the image to stay in her mind for a second and then quickly shook it off.
Han Juntu sneered at his brother and said: “If I didn’t stop you, you would already be dead. You are lucky that you are still alive.”
Han Juntu’s words seemed to sweep across the room like an icy wind. At first, people thought he was joking, but his dead-serious face and the glinting eyes suggested that he was not.
“I am a member of the Han Family, he… he wouldn’t kill me, would he?”
Han Hongkun also registered that his brother didn’t seem to be joking, so his voice started to waver as disbelief flickered in his eye in fits and starts.
“Haha, why not?” Han Juntu cracked up after hearing his younger brother’s question. He let out a peal of laughter and then asked: “Do you really know who he is?”
Everyone was confused by his reaction.
Han Hongkun pulled a taut face and answered: “Isn’t he the Head sergeant of the Cang Dragon? Isn’t he Chen Fan?”
People around him perked up their ears and came closer to listen. Their biggest confusion right now was the ident.i.ty of Chen Fan. What would make Young Lord Han treat Chen Fan with such respect and obedience? Han Juntu would not even act like that if he were to talk to Li Wuchen.
“Indeed. Juntu, please shed some light on this. Isn’t he Chen Fan, a member of the Chen family?” Song Shunhua put in.
“Chen Fan? Hahaha!”
Han Juntu cracked up again. When he finally gathered himself, he fixed his gaze on Han Hongkun and castigated him: “You have no clue who you are messing with. You nearly brought doom to our entire family, did you know that?”
“He is Chen Beixuan, the living legend!” Han Juntu announced.
Chen Beixuan?
Everyone was dumbfounded by the revelation.
It was not the first time they heard the name but they had always thought that it was just Chen Fan’s alias or nickname, so they didn’t think too much about it. However, the serious and heavy tone of Han Juntu’s voice seemed to suggest that the name carried much more weight than anyone had expected.
The name piqued Qiao Luoyin’s attention.
