Chapter 475: Claiming the Seat of Power in Zhong Hai

The main hall was huge in size.
It was a few hundred meters long and a dozen meters wide, almost the same size as a Church. Even as they entered the hall, the servants reset the table and brought out new dishes.
The Hua family had hired a group of cooks from a five-star hotel to cook for the banquet, and the food on Chen Fan’s table were all works of art from a highly acclaimed cook in the group.
“Immortal Master Chen, your presence had brought prestige and respect to my household. For that, I shall thank you and toast in your name! Drink up!” Hua Yunfeng rose from his chair with a crystal cup in his hand. The amber-colored content in the cup gives off an intoxicating fragrance.
This was from a vintage that the Hua Family had kept in its wine cellar for nearly a hundred years. Lord Hua had ordered its use only because Chen Fan was here.
Chen Fan sat in his chair and took a sip from his cup, without even acknowledge Lord Hua.
Despite Chen Fan’s aloofness, no one felt that it was out of place. After all, he was the one and only living legend.
Many other family lords quickly followed Lord Hua’s lead and toasted in Chen Fan’s name.
Only the top dogs in Zhong Hai would have earned a seat beside Chen Fan. The rest of the tyc.o.o.ns and their heirs were sitting at other tables far from the main table.
“Uncle, who is Chen Beixuan? Why does everyone want to kiss his a.s.s? Lord Hua had lived over a hundred years, yet he treated Chen Beixuan as if he were his elder.”
A young girl wearing a black miniskirt and heavy makeup asked in surprise.
“Just so, dad. It was terrifying what had happened. So many mighty figures in Zhong Hai had dropped to their knees and begged for their lives. Meanwhile, the Young Master from Lin Family was killed by Chen Fan’s servant girl. Who is he?”
Another girl with much less makeup but much more attractive asked curiously.
The question had piqued the interest of all the young lords at the table. They perked up their ears and looked to the man sitting at the head of the table.
The existence of the Divine Roll was known only to a few top dogs in each city. These young lords might swagger around in the streets of Zhong Hai, flaunting their wealth in other people’s faces, they were far from the center of power.
“Fine, I will tell you guys so you know to be careful around Chen Beixuan.”
The middle-aged man heaved a sigh and said with a solemn face. “That young man is called Chen Fan, and he also goes by Chen Beixuan. He is the son of the Queen of Jin Xiu. An Ya is sitting right next to him, did you guys see that?”
“Uncle Hu, I have heard of him before. They call him Master Chen of Jiang Bei and claimed that he can cast spells and is also a general of the Cang Dragon Unit. He is the one calling the shots now in Jiang Nan Province.”
A pimply young man put in.
“It’s a bit far fetched that a General Major from the Jin City Military base was able to bring Hua Family to heel. Even Li Wuchen couldn’t have pulled that off.”
Someone questioned.
“Hehe, Dominating the Jiang Nan Province? He could dominate the entire world if he wants to!” Uncle Hu smiled sarcastically.
“What?”
The teenagers were taken aback by the answer and their eyes lit up with curiosity.
Uncle Hu paused a moment, letting the suspense hang in the air. “I didn’t know any of this until I met with Lord Zhou. His secretary, secretary Cai told me personally. It hit me hard because I had never imagined that such a powerful man could have existed.”
“You must know the Heaven roll in China, right? But do you know there is another roll the Divine Roll?” Uncle Hu scanned around him and asked surrept.i.tiously under his breath.
“Divine Roll?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
They heard about the Heaven roll from time to time and most of them knew that Hua Yunfeng ranked number four on that list and that was part of the reason that the Hua Family could preside over Zhong Hai.
But no one ever heard of the Divine Roll.
“Heaven roll is published in China, but the Divine Roll is published by CIA’s Special Case Department. In other words, the ones on Heaven roll were deadly warriors in China, while the ones on Divine Roll were the deadliest men and women around the world.”
Seeing the growing interest in the teenager’s eyes, Uncle Hu continued with a quieter voice:
“So far, there is only one name on the Divine Roll: Chen Beixuan. Think of him as a terrorist such as Osama bin Laden. Wherever he goes, the local government would have to treat him carefully with fear. Just a few days ago, Chen Beixuan defeated an entire division of the Russian army and killed one of their top generals. Guess what happened next? The Russian bear turned into a Russian chicken and signed a truce with Chen Beixuan. Now, you tell me if he is powerful or not.”
“What?”
Someone cried out.
Uncle Hu’s daughter and nephew covered their mouths to stifle a cry.
“So that answers your question as to why the family lords in Zhong Hai are so afraid of him.” Uncle Hu cracked a smile and said: “Lin Family could shower those family lords with money and promises, they would choose their lives over money on any given day. Chen Beixuan has already slaughtered countless people since he rose to power. In Jin City alone he killed sixteen family lords. No one in their right mind would choose to mess with him.”
“Just so.”
Everyone nodded with a hint of fear lingering at the back of their minds.
They looked at each other and all they saw were fearful faces.
He was the General Major of the Cang Dragon unit who could single-handedly bring down a nation!
If they have heard what Chen Fan was capable of without seeing his unimaginable power with their own eyes, they would just laugh it off as an underground rumor.
“The Ji Family, Tang Family, and s.h.i.+ Hongyi are all doomed.”
Someone at the table let out a gloating smile.
