260 Dragon Taming Array (1/2)
”Bull shit!”
Even as a wave of surprised murmur rose from the crowd, a middle-aged man with golden rim glasses stepped forward and said with a serious face: ”Sir, do you have any proof that she owes you ten billion?”
”Do you have any legal documents?”
”Transaction records? Witnesses?”
The serious-looking man poured questions at Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan didn't have an answer, a distant look surfaced on his hard face: ”So you have nothing to prove that Miss Zheng owes you ten billion. So does that mean I can claim that Superman Li owes me a hundred billion? What's the big deal anyway?”
After he had said that, the entire room was filled with laughter.
The ladies in the room still managed to keep their elegant demeanor so they simply covered their mouth and giggled. Some of the girls were wearing a low cut dress and their giggling shook their half-exposed bosom. Even Zheng Anqi was amused by the man's remark.
”Mr. Hu, no wonder you are one of the most famous lawyers in Hong Kong! What a sharp tongue! This guy has nothing.” Someone shouted.
”Just so! Mr. Hu used to even point a finger at the judge during a court session and had forced the judge to apologize. What does a teenage boy mean to him in a debate?” Someone else said proudly.
The serious-looking man was called Hu Zhicheng and he was one of the most famous lawyers of his generation. He worked as an associate in the famous Jade Law Firm, the fourth-best law firm in Hong Kong. His illustrious record touted thirteen consecutive successful cases, and he was well versed in nearly all law systems.
”Sir, I will have you know that I can sue you for defamation and blackmailing. You will have to stay behind bars for at least three years.”
Hu Zhicheng took his glasses off and cleaned it with a piece of velvet handkerchief and then carefully placed them on his nose again.
”Oh, really?” Chen Fan replied distractedly. He didn't even spare him a glance and fixed his gaze on Zheng Anqi.
”I told you that I can give you some time, but don't make me wait. I am not very patient.”
”But you took my goodwill for granted.” Chen Fan looked down a little as if heaving a sigh of disappointment. ”Well, now my patience had worn out.”
Zheng Anqi's heart sank to the bottom as fear gripped her heart. She felt regret and sorrow roiling inside of her.
”Sir, have you been listening to me?” Hu Zhicheng furrowed his brows and said: ”You have transpassed a private property and injured an innocent guest. Then, you tried to blackmail Miss Zheng for ten billion and verbally threatened her. These are your crimes and there are plenty of witnesses around. Prepare to stay in jail for the rest of your life, punk!”
Hu Zhicheng was convinced that if Chen Fan was indicted, he would be able to persuade the judge to give him a life sentence in jail.
After all, this room was packed with the rich and the powerful. Their combined might was equivalent of half of Hong Kong's wealth. It wouldn't take much to convince the judge to throw Chen Fan into jail for what he had done.
Most people believed in Hu Zhicheng's words and they looked Chen Fan pityingly.
The boy had ruffled the wrong feathers, he should have never messed with tycoons. They just needed to whisper one word into the judge's ears, and Chen Fan would have to stay in jail for the rest of his life.
”Shameless!”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows and waved a hand.
”Bam!”
Hu Zhicheng was dealt a blow by an invisible force. The force sent the man flying and knocking over a dozen banquet tables on his way until he thudded back to the ground. The golden rimmed glasses which he custom ordered from Italy for a hundred thousand US dollars were smashed into pieces. A red mark in the shape of a man's palm was branded on Hu Zhicheng's left cheek.
A pin-drop silence suddenly fell over the room.
No one had ever thought that Chen Fan would hit people without any warning.
Did he know that Hu Zhicheng was one of the top lawyers in Hong Kong? No one dared to so much as swear at him, much less hit him, fearing the legal repercussions.
Of everyone who has seen it happened, Nin Tianchen was the only one who was alarmed.
He didn't even register Chen Fan's movement when the lawyer was dealt a blow. It was as if the force was invisible. How was that possible? Could the boy cast out his Internal Force? If so, this boy would be at least semi transcendent state. But he looked so young. How could anyone at this age become a Martial Grandmaster?
As soon as Chen Fan showed up, Mr. Shi was frozen like a statue as if he had seen a ghost. He knew very well that this seemingly ordinary-looking young man was the most powerful Grandmaster in China. He could even kill the lawyer if he wished, much less hurting him. The Hong Kong government would not seek justice for a lawyer at the risk of offending a Grandmaster.
”You… How dare you!”
Mr. Hu searched his face with trembling fingers and finally found the remnants of the shattered glasses that was still on his face.
”One more word, I will kill you.”
Chen Fan said with a stoic expression.
Mr. Hu suddenly became quiet. However sharp his tongue was, he scarcely dared to utter a word and provoke Chen Fan further.
Seeing the development, most other guests backed away from Chen Fan. Most of them lived a peaceful life and had never seen such action in real life. Fearing their safety, some had already started yelling for security guards.
Chen Fan didn't pay any attention to the panicked crowd. He locked his eyes on to Zheng Anqi and said: ”You have two choices, money or your life.”
Zheng Anqi had the face of an angel, the body of a devil, adding on her family background, she could be the dream girl of nearly all men in the world. However, to Chen Fan, she was nothing but an ant, although a pretty looking one. Therefore, Chen Fan's determination to get his money back would not be swayed by the girl's appearance.
”Chen… Mr. Chen…”
