276 You Will Die For Insulting Me (1/2)

A pin-drop silence fell into the room after Nie Yuanhu shouted out ”Mr. Chen.”

People were confused as to who he was calling out to. Even Nie Shunchen was taken aback as he scraped his mind to think which superstar or super-rich he had invited tonight who had a last name of Chen.

He watched as Nie Yuanhu came over to Chen Fan and extended both hands to the young man.

”Mr. Chen. I had never thought that you would come to our banquet. I have never been more honored before.”

Chen Fan didn't even spare Nie Yuanhu a glance much less shake hands with him, leaving Nie Yuanhu's hands hanging. Nie Yuanhu was surprised by the cold shoulder and looked to Master Qiu in embarrassment. Qiu Yulin picked up the cue and stepped forward and bowed to Chen Fan.

”Perfected Cultivator Chen, this is the owner of the Hua Yi Entertainment, Mr. Nie. He admired you and wanted to meet you for a while.”

”Yes, yes. Mr. Chen, please just called me Xiao Nie.” Nie Yuanhu put on a toady smile and said.

Chen Fan was an untouchable mighty figure to Nie Yuanhu. He would even hand over his virgin daughter to Chen Fan much less plastering on an unctuous smile.

Little did Nie Yuanhu know that his action had stunned everyone in the room. Nie Shunchen was so shocked by the development, he rounded his eyes in disbelief.

How was that possible? How did Chen Fan get to know my dad? Why was Nie Yuanhu so ingratiating toward Chen Fan? What was going on?

Zhou Qinya, Qiu Yilun, Qian Lulu and Yun Qianqian were all shocked as well.

”Dad?” Nie Shunchen called out to his dad in confusion.

By now, Nie Yuanhu finally remembered his son, so he pulled Nie Shunchen over to him and said: ”Mr. Chen, this is my son Nie Shunchen. Shunzhen, this is the new owner of Zheng's Financial Group, and the new billionaire of Hong Kong, Mr. Chen Beixuan. You can call him uncle Chen.”

A new billionaire in Hong Kong?

Chen Beixuan?

Although the name of Chen Fan was unheard of by anyone in the room, Chen Beixuan was a household name in Hong Kong. The crowd boiled over as they had never thought that they would meet the legendary man that had shaken up Hong Kong's power dynamic recently.

”He is the one who toppled the Zheng family and taken over the billions of assets from the Zheng family?”

”I have heard that even Zhou Daoji was killed by him. He is a deadly and powerful spell caster.”

”That's him! I haven't seen his picture, but I don't think Boss Nie could have been mistaken. Chen Beixuan is a very young man, so I have heard, just like him.”

A surprised murmur rose from the crowd. Many pair of eyes stared at Chen Fan, trying to imprint the rare sight of such a legend permanently in their minds.

Chen Fan's achievement was unprecedented. Any billionaire would have at least decades of hard word behind them. Even during the Information Age, the success of companies such as Facebook took its founder, Mark Zuckerberg a few years to achieve.

However, Chen Fan had taken over the wealth of the Zheng family and became one of the top ten richest men in Hong Kong before he had even reached twenty. Hong Kong was a capitalist society through and through. Anyone with that much wealth would determine the course of Hong Kong's future. Superman Li, for example, had such a heavy influence on the city that people called Hong Kong the ”Li's City”

Compared to Chen Fan, the wealth of the attendees of this banquet were only around a few hundred million, a far cry from that of Chen Fan and Superman Li.

”He is Chen Beixuan?” Nie Shunchen pointed at Chen Fan and asked incredulously.

”Nonsense, he is your uncle, so stop called him by name and call him Uncle.” Nie Yuanhu slapped on Nie Shunchen's head and chided him hotly.

Nie Yuanhu's slap on Nie Shunchen's face was a wake-up call. The young man's face darkened as he locked his gaze on to Chen Fan and grew gloomy.

He had been convinced that these teenagers were just college students from the mainland and was ready to see Chen Fan bend his knees if not just to throw them off the deck and make them swim back. However, the tables had turned as Chen Fan turned out to the infamous Chen Beixuan. Nie Shunchen found it hard to come to terms with the reality of the situation and his shock and disbelief were shared by everyone, including Qiu Yilun, Qian Lulu, and Zhou Qinya.

Li Xinru couldn't feel more regret for insulting the young man earlier. She had never thought that Yun Qianqian's friend was such a powerful man.

Yun Qianqian, on the other hand, covered her mouth to stifle a surprised cry. She finally remembered why the name of Chen Beixuan sounded so familiar to her. He was the one who everyone had been talking about of late. Although the name made her think of Chen Fan, ultimately, she didn't make the connection between the two.

”What's happening? Have you offended Mr. Chen?”

Nie Shunchen finally registered the tension hanging the air. He pulled a taut face and looked to Nie Shunchen questioningly.

Nie Shunchen kept his silence and pressed his thin lips together.

”He just told me that if I don't bend my knees and apologize to him, he will kick me off the deck and let me swim back to Hong Kong.” Chen Fan picked up a glass of Champagne and leisurely took a sip.

”You… you idiot!”

Chen Fan's words made Nie Yuanhu's hair stand on end. Suddenly, he felt his heart skipped a beat as the world slowly started turning dark. He scrambled to hold on to a table to steady himself before he collapsed to the ground.

What a fool Nie Shunchen was! Look at what had happened to people that dared to stand up against Chen Fan: Nin Tianchen had blocked his way so Chen Fan killed him; Zhou Daoji tried to avenge his disciple, Chen Fan killed him as well; the Zheng family owed him ten billion and refused to pay, Chen Fan had taken the Old Man Zheng's life as well as the entire family wealth. Who in the right mind would mess with such a deadly and powerful mighty figure? Nie Shunchen was courting death.

”Mr… Mr. Chen. Please for my sake, forgive Shunchen.” Nie Shunchen managed to stand still as he pleaded to Chen Fan. Even as he talked to Chen Fan, he kicked Nie Shunchen's leg.

”You fool! Kneel before Mr. Chen and apologize! NOW!”

Nie Yuanhu meant to save his son's life, but Nie Shunchen didn't appreciate it.
