259 She Owes Me Ten Billion (1/2)

”Of course he is not an ordinary man.” Zheng Anqi replied vehemently.

The memory of Chen Fan flying high into the sky and severing the giant snake into half still gave Zheng Anqi the shivers.

The snake was as big as a seven or eight story high building and even a dozen elite bodyguards wouldn't be able to subdue it. The gunshots landed on its thick scaly skin felt no more than a few scratches and even Mr. Shi who was well versed in the art of spell castings could not bring it under control. However, powerful as it was, Chen Fan killed it using one strike.

Zheng Anqi had never seen such power in any of the masters she had met in Hong Kong. The person she knew whose power was the closest to Chen Fan was Zhou Daoji, the number one master of Hong Kong. Although she had only visited him once with her grandpa, she could sense that his power was not nearly as deep and overwhelming as that of Chen Fan. That could also because Zhou Daoji had been hiding his real power before the public.

If Chen Fan was not an incredible master, no one else would be.

”That is not what I meant. I mean he has another identity.” Mr. Shi furrowed his brows and said: ”and if that identity turns out to be real, I wager that there is going to be more trouble ahead of us.”

”May I ask who you guys are talking about?” Nin Tianchen stood and listened to the two's conversation with glinting eyes. Then he asked abruptly.

”Tianchen, this is my family business, so…” Zheng Anqi gave Tianchen an apologetic smile and continued. ”But this person is very dangerous, and therefore I had asked Mr. Shi to investigate more details about him.”

”I understand Anqi.” Nin Tianchen cracked a gentleman's smile but the cold light in his eyes didn't dim down. ”Please, feel free to let me know if you need any help in the investigation. I am quite well connected in the grey area of the world and could be of help.”

So saying, Nin Tianchen let out a smug smile.

His teacher, Zhou Daoji's influence coupled with his own level of attainment could persuade any tycoons of the underworld in Hong Kong to disclose any information he wanted to know.

Zheng Anqi finally let out a joyful smile.

She had been waiting for Nin Tianchen's offer for a while. Although she wouldn't get direct help from Zhou Daoji himself, his personal disciple should suffice. After all, she doubted that Chen Fan would be able to hold himself against Zhou Daoji. Chen Fan was a green babe in the woods compared to Zhou Daoji the veteran.

The girl's expectant look made Nin Tianchen feel even more pride..

However, Mr. Shi was still not very optimistic about the situation. Ever since he came back to Hong Kong, he had been contemplating Chen Fan's power and the odds of surviving a conflict with him. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he was. No ordinary Perfected Cultivator was able to kill the snake with one strike as Chen Fan had done. Even Zhou Daoji, who purportedly had the ability to form a Dharma Array in less than seven incantations might not be able to stand against Chen Fan.

The news he got from his friends from the mainland had been particularly disturbing to him and had kept him sleepless at night.

If the news was real, then even Zhou Daoji would have to bow respectfully before Chen Fan. After all, he would be the most powerful Grandmaster in China. Although Mr. Shi had no clue how Chen Fan transformed from a Perfected Cultivator into a Grandmaster, it was his deadliness that mattered to Mr. Shi.

There was only a little connection between the world of Dharma Spells and that of the Martial arts. Compared to the Martial arts world that was more visible to the public, the world of dharma spells was much more discreet and clandestine in their actions. The masters of Dharma Spells either live in seclusion inside of caves deep in the mountains or hidden in plain sight among the public as frequent guests of the rich and powerful

In a one on one physical fight, a Martial artist had a decisive advantage. As soon as a Grandmaster got within ten paces away from a Perfected Cultivator, his chance of killing the Perfected Cultivator would be very high. A Grandmaster such as Chen Fan would require the combined might of an all-powerful Perfected Cultivators in China to counter.

With that thought in mind, he was about to tell Zheng Anqi something else, suddenly, a clamor from fireworks erupted as many colorful fiery flowers bloomed in the sky.

Under a wave of ”Happy Birthday”, a two-meter tall, twelve level birthday cake was wheeled out on a cart. It was decorated with truffles, chocolates, and other expensive fruits.

”Anna, go cut the cake now.”

Under everyone's urging request, Zheng Anqi gave Mr. Shi an apologetic look and dove back into the birthday party crowd. She would rather enjoy her birthday right now than think about the threat of Chen Fan.

Mr. Shi stood there by himself and shook his head after studying Zheng Anqi who was already surrounded her friends. He heaved a sigh and said: ”Little summer birds would never understand the harshness of winter.”

He had tried to persuade Zheng Anqi and her family to disclose the information about their debt owed to Chen Fan to the entire family. However, not only Zheng Anqi's father but also the old man Zheng Haochang had chosen to ignore the threat. They wagered that Chen Fan would never be able to take ten billion yuan back anyways.

Hong Sect had put up a bounty of one billion dollars on the life of Chen Fan. Under so much danger and threats, any ordinary Grandmaster would have already hidden away from the public, but that was not the case for Chen Fan.

”It would all come down to Old Man Zheng and his decisions.” He recalled that the Zheng family had been secretly hiring many elite bodyguards and kept close contact with deadly mercenaries. However, Mr. Shi was not at all confident in their ability to protect the Zheng family from Chen Fan.

The decision-makers of the Zheng family were all ordinary mortals and knew very little about the power of a Perfected Cultivator. Although they were familiar with Zhou Daoji and other Feng Shui masters, they simply couldn't measure up to Chen Fan's deadliness and power.

Meanwhile, a red Ferrari pulled over to the entrance of the Shore Diamond.

Chen Fan stepped out of the car and looked into the shiny jewels along the shore of Victoria Bay. He cast out the Divine Will and covered the entire building.

It wasn't long before Chen Fan registered Zheng Anqia and Mr. Shi's presence. In addition, he also reckoned the life signal of a few spell casters. However, even the most powerful one among them had only reached the peak of the Dao-Reaching Level and would be no match against Chen Fan.

”Let's go.”

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and sauntered on with a smirk.
