278 They Call Me Master Chen (2/2)

His question had piqued everyone's interest and they all looked to Chen Fan expectantly.

Chen Fan's ability to cast spells was too remote for them to care, however, that was not the case for Chen Fan's wealth. Zheng family had been one of the top ten families in Hong Kong. They had unimaginable wealth at their disposal. Even the family fortune of Sheng family and the Chen family couldn't compare much less that of Qiu Yilun and Zhou Qinya.

The only person in the entire Jiang Nan Province who could have challenged the Zheng family might be Zhang Donghai, the richest man in the province.

However, such a powerful player in Hong Kong was destroyed by a young man. It was unheard of.

”The Zheng family owed me money. I simply took it back.” Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said: ”As for the name, you must have heard of the third name they used for me.”

Chen Fan paused a second as a smirk surfaced on his face. ”They call me Master Chen.”

”Master Chen?”

Everyone was caught by surprise.

Finally, Zhou Qinya remembered something and then in her utter shock, she pointed a finger at Chen Fan and exclaimed: ”So you are the Master Chen everyone had been talking about?”

Zhou Qinya's exclamation was a wake-up call to everyone else. They looked at Chen Fan with disbelief and shock. The Sheng family's downfall had occurred not long ago, so everyone remembered Master Chen who toppled the mighty family.

Finally, Che Fan's friends started to connect the dots together.

”No wonder! It makes so much sense now!” Qiu Yilun clapped his hands excitedly. ”You are the Master Chen of Jiang Bei, that explains your spellcasting abilities. You are a key member of the Chen family, and that was why Chen Xu was so afraid of you. You didn't go home after Sheng Ronghua's banquet you must have gone straight to Sheng Ronghua's house. That also explains why you would buy that useless trinket for thirty million.”

”That's not a trinket, that's a Dharma Artifact.” Chen Fan corrected him.

The yellow-skinned gourd was a Dimension Altering Dharma Treasure. It was worth much more than thirty billion, much less thirty million.

”Fine, fine, It is a useless Dharma Artifact.” Qiu Yilun smiled mischievously.

Realization finally dawned upon Zhou Qinya.

If Chen Fan truly was Master Chen of Jiang Bei, that would explain why Seventh Lord Huang would be his chauffeur. The revelation unnerved her as she became increasingly afraid of Chen Fan.

She belonged to the elite class of Jin City, therefore, she had heard a lot about Master Chen's power. Master Chen had not only dominated Jiang Bei, but even Tang Yuanqin had to obey his orders. The Sheng family was the only family who dared to offend him and the entire family was brutally murdered. Many members of the Sheng family died of inexplicable causes; their fates were very similar to that of Nie Shunchen. Then she thought about what happened to the Zheng family, the death of Old Man Zheng and the wrinkled face of Zheng Anqi. Suddenly, Zhou Qinya felt a chill down her spine.

The seemingly ordinary and harmless young man was a deadly murderer who had trampled over the Sheng family.

Then, Zhou Qinya felt a hint of excitement mixed in her fear. It was the excitement of meeting someone with great power. She adored powerful men and out of all the men she had met, who could be more powerful than Chen Fan?

”When I arrived home that day, my mom had a car accident.” Chen Fan said, and then he fell into silence.

Everyone looked at him sympathetically after knowing what he meant in between his words.

They lamented the viciousness of struggles between large families. Sheng family had brought their downfall on themself. If they didn't piss off Chen Fan by attempting to kill his mother, they might still be alive.

Qi Wangsun stood quietly and listened to Chen Fan's explanation. He knew Chen Fan had omitted many details. Chen Fan had been frank about his second identity as the Master Chen of Jinagn Bei, but never did he explain his connection with the third name, Chen Beixuan, and why the name had instilled so much fear into Nie Yuanhu. There ought to be secrets behind the Zheng's Financial Group's changing of hands.

Qi Wangsun also recalled that Zhou Qinya said Shen Junwen was courting Fang Qiong, Chen Fan's girlfriend. He wagered that the love rival between Chen Fan and Shen Junwen might also have contributed to the fall of the Sheng family.

Nonetheless, Qi Wangsun had kept his thoughts to himself.

Qi Wangsun was moved by Chen Fan's friendship despite the young man's incredible power and social status. He had met with some of his father's friends, and none of them could have lowered themselves to befriend ordinary people as Chen Fan had.

”Boss, from now on, you are a billionaire. A member of the Forbes Rich List. You are going to become the most popular guy in our school. Are you ready for all the flowers and attention?” Qiu Yilun asked. His words sounded bitter and jealous.

Although his family owned over a few hundred million assets, those belonged to his father and wouldn't be his for another few decades. However, every penny of Chen Fan's tremendous wealth belonged to himself.

Qiu Yilun then stood quietly and he was flanked by an equally reticent Yun Qianqian whose eyes were filled with admiration.

Chen Fan's achievement was so great that it was terrifying in the eyes of his friends. What girl did not like a successful and powerful man?
