321 I Am Soley Responsible (1/2)
Chen Fan didn't ask Qiao Luoyin how she had recognized him.
As the leader of the Qiao Family of Jin City, Qiao Luoyin must have seen his picture before. However, Chen Fan wagered that Qiao Luoyin had to use her imagination to fill up the difference between the picture and his real-life appearance. Zhou Qinya had helped Chen Fan spruce himself up and therefore, he looked very different from his photo in a good way.
”Yes, that's me.”
Chen Fan picked up a decanter and slowly poured the contents into a China cup.
No one spoke a word as they stared at the young man in shock and disbelief.
”Master Chen of Jiang Bei.”
He had single-handedly killed the entire Sheng family, and even in Wu Zhou, people talked about his legendary deeds. In those stories, he was an ambitious and mighty warrior. To everyone's surprise, Chen Fan was an average looking teenage boy in real life and looked nothing like how he was painted in colorful stories. Even Qiao Luoyin found it hard to reconcile the teenage boy to the image of an overbearing martial artist.
Sweat glided off of the guard captain's forehead as he felt lucky to not make the wrong move.
If he rushed into the situation, he might as well be dead now. He was a good fighter in the eyes of ordinary people, but his strength was a far cry from that of Master Chen.
Su Ze and Su Peng glared at Chen Fan with disbelief.
”No wonder LIttle Nine would choose you. She was always so stuck up and full of herself, and I was right to think that she would never settle for just anyone. She had chosen a good one!” Su Peng put in.
Meanwhile, Su Qian was on the edge of her seat.
The young man was the infamous Master Chen of Jiang Bei!
Most people in this room were nobody once they were stripped of their family heritage. However, Chen Fan was able to surpass his grandfather's achievement before he even reached twenty. His achievements would take a normal person twenty if not thirty years to accomplish.
In other words, Chen Fan was on a different level than most people in this room.
Only the Su Family Lord Su Zhengde or the Nin Family lord was able to sit down at the same table with Chen Fan as his equal.
”Why is she so lucky? Before Master Chen she had Sheng Junwen fawning all over her. Now Shen Junwen is dead, but she caught the attention of Master Chen. Was she wearing plot armor or whatnot?” Shen Qian looked to Fang Qiong. Her eyes were green with jealousy.
Chen Fan didn't mind what other people thought of him.
After he poured himself a cup of wine, he raised the cup gently.
The china cup suddenly became airborne and levitated above the table and slowly rose to Chen Fan's mouth. Everyone watched in disbelief and even Fang Qiong was taken by surprise. It was the first time she had seen Chen Fan use his Divine powers.
”Everyone talked about Master Chen's powerful Dharma Spells, and today I have finally seen it with my own eyes.” Ji Luochen managed to hold back his shock and poured a cup of wine for himself and gave Chen Fan a toast.
”Let's drink in the name of Master Chen!”
He was born into a prestigious family in Zhong Hai and had seen Dharma Spells in action a few times.
However, all those casters he had met before were in their fifties with white hair and snowy beards. They also lacked Chen Fan's ability to summon the spell on a whim. Instead, they relied on their Dharma artifacts and required long preparation to cast a simple spell.
Chen Fan didn't even spare him a glance as he poured the contents of the cup down his throat.
A pang of anger flashed in Ji Luochen's eyes, but it was quickly masked by him. He also drank the wine, but instead of putting down the cup, he played with the cup in his hand and asked Chen Fan with interest.
”Master Chen, do you know the background of Nin Yuze?”
”What is it?”
Chen Fan casually poured more wine and replied distractedly.
Ji Luochen scanned the crowd and then raised his voice a few notches. ”His father is Nin Chendong, one of the richest men in Zhong Hai. He is the owner of the Dong Chen Group and has tens of billions of assets. His grandpa is Nin Zhongshen, a retired high-level official from Zhong Hai. He was retired, but still very influential.”
”He is Nin Chendong's only son and the only grandson of the Old Man Nin. Master Chen, how are you going to explain your actions to the Nin family?
After he had said that, Ji Luochen looked to Chen Fan with a faint smirk.
His words had also made everyone realize the serious consequences of Chen Fan's actions.
Zhong Hai was one of the biggest cities in China, and a high-level official in its city hall was of the same rank as a provincial governor. Without such a solid family background, Nin Yuze would never be listed together with Zhu Yuntao and Tang Jianfen as the Four Young Lords of Zhong Hai.
”Oh, really?”
Chen Fan took another gulp of the wine and his expression didn't change the slightest.
However powerful Nin Family was, they would be dwarfed when compared with Gao Tianmin.
If Chen Fan was able to topple the mighty Gao Tianmin, he should be able to quash the Nin Family with ease.
”Of course Master Chen might not think highly of Nin Family, but what about the combined might of the Nins and the Zhaos?”Ji Luochen asked with a mysterious smile.
”Zhao family? What Zhao family?”
