Chapter 442: Return to China

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

March 10, 2010. Zhong Hai International Airport…

Chen Fan emerged from the airport with flowy long hair. He linked his hands behind his back and didn’t seem to have any luggage with him. Following him closely was an attractive young woman with short hair and leather pants.

Their extraordinary appearance quickly grabbed the attention of the travelers.

They didn’t much mind the attention as they walked out of the airport and hopped into a car sent by the National Security Bureau. Once they were inside the car, Chen Fan gave Red Sparrow a sidelong glance and said: “We are in China now, why don’t you fill me in on what had happened in my absence?”

The Russian gave Chen Fan and Red Sparrow a ride to the airport at the border and from there, they flew directly to Zhong Hai. They could finally allow their guard down and didn’t have to worry about Russia’s desperate attempt to kill Chen Fan using nuclear bombs. Knowing he was safe, Chen Fan’s mind turned to the safety of his family.

“Umm…..”

Red Sparrow hesitated and letting her words stick in her throat.

“What happened? Did anything happen to Xiao Qiong and my parents?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows as tension grew in the vehicle. Already, two golden flames danced deep inside of Chen Fan’s eyes.

The temperature in the car seemed to have dropped a few degrees and it was as cold as an ice cave.

The driver was a rookie who had just been enlisted recently. The tension in the air had escaped him at first, but as soon as he caught a glance of the deadly intent burning inside of Chen Fan’s eyes, he quickly looked away and felt a chill down his spine.

“Holy s.h.i.+t! This man is more terrifying than then Azure dragon. That look should only belong to a ma.s.s murder! No wonder everyone made such a big deal about his return.”

Red Sparrow raised her eyebrows and then plastered on a placatory smile.

“Don’t worry, your family, and your little girlfriend are under our protection, so of course they are safe. But they were not exactly… thriving either.”

“Oh? Who would ruffle the Chen family’s feathers?”

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and grinned at her.

The Chen family had claimed the seat power in Jin City ever since Chen Fan brought the Han Family of Yan Jin and Song Family to heel. The Chen family should have wielded enough prestige to tame the other family clans, not to mention its powerful allies such as the Su Family of Wu Zhou City, Wei Family of the North Bank and the Tang family of Jiang Nan. No one should have threatened the Chen family.

“That’s if people think you are still alive. You have been missing for a year so many had a.s.sumed that you are dead. Therefore…” Red Sparrow let out a wry smile without finis.h.i.+ng her sentence.

Although the prominent family clans did not have close ties with the Underground World, they eventually learned of Chen Fan’s disappearance through their connections with the military. Both Cang Dragon Unit and Li Wuchen were well aware of what happened at the Warg Valley.

The Chinese Martial arts community rarely meddled in International affairs, but over time, they had also learned about Chen Fan’s battle against the Western Dark World and his presumable death by the Father of All Bombs. The news had taken the Dark World by storm and therefore was hard to miss.

One way or another, the elite cla.s.s of the Jiang Nan Province slowly came to the realization that Chen Fan was dead.

At first, no one dared to act differently, but as Chen Fan’s disappearance dragged on, more and more people become restless.

“Humph! Mortals.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile, but the glinting light in his eyes prevented the mood from cheering up.

Chen Fan was the benefactor of many great families. The Tang family, Wei Family, Su Family and the Chen Fan had all tied their prosperity with Chen Fan.

No one would even think of crossing the Chen family as long as Chen Fan was live.

Evidence of his boundless prestige was plentiful: that the great lords of Jing Bei were at his beck and call; that Tang Yuanqin had to bow to him like a pupil; that the Wei Family of the North Bank would do whatever they could to please him; that the Su Family had to swallow the humiliation and remain silent. That this, and that, all of them spoke the same message: Don’t mess with the Chen family.

However, once Chen Fan was dead, everything was bound to change. Such was the untrustworthy nature of mortals.

Although Red Sparrow didn’t spell it out loud for him, Chen Fan knew that the Su Family of Wu Zhou City had regretted the marriage arrangement and tried to walk away from it.

“I only care about my parents and Xiao Qiong’s family. The fools who dare to cross the Chen family will get what they deserve in due time.” Chen Fan cracked a cold smile as his eyes glinted.

After he had said that he turned to Red Sparrow and asked: “Is there anything else I need to know?”

“Not really? Please be rest a.s.sured that your family will be safe under our protection.” Red Sparrow paused a second and replied to Chen Fan with a slight bow

“Very well.”

Chen Fan nodded.

Suddenly, he realized what had been missing in the conversation, so he furrowed his brows and asked: “You didn’t mention Sister An, how’s she doing?”

Chen Fan’s words turned Red Sparrow into a bundle of nerves.

Chen Fan pulled a dark face and gave Red Sparrow a questioning look: “What happened to Sister An?”
