449 Death To All Traitors (1/2)
”Who is that?”
Lord Wu gestured his bodyguards to rush to the door and ready their weapons. The tycoon at Jiang Zhou City had survived for decades thanks to his high level of alertness.
”Don't worry, we don't need to be afraid of anyone. I can protect you even if it is Tang Yuanqin on the other side of the door.” Master Hong smirked and puffed out his chest to make him look bigger.
Although unwillingly, Lord Wu ordered the bodyguards to open the door.
However, before the bodyguards had even touched the door handle, the door cracked open from outside.
”Kreeeck!”
The security system on this door was custom ordered from Swiss. It was touted as the best security system in the world and only military weapons could breach it.
To everyone's surprise, the one who cracked open the door was not a fully armed military personnel, instead, it was a refined young man wearing jeans and a hoodie.
Despite the heavy rain outside, the young man was not at all wet.
”Do I know you?”
Lord Wu narrowed his eyes as he felt the young man looked very familiar.
”My name is Chen Fan. Yes, you know me. I told one of your men that I will pay you a visit a year ago, and here I am.”
Even as he spoke, Chen Fan walked through the threshold. He turned around and quietly closed the door again. He wore a friendly smile on his face as if he was visiting an old friend.
”Master Chen… Master Chen Fan”
Lord Wu finally recognized Chen Fan, and he almost screamed his name out.
He had seen Chen Fan's picture a year ago so no wonder Chen Fan's face looked so familiar. As a tycoon of Jiang Bei, Lord Wu heard about Chen Fan almost every day.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Fan spoke his name, Lord Wu put two and two together and recognized him.
”Master Chen?”
A deadly silence fell over the room as soon as the word ”Master Chen” was evoked.
His bodyguards turned into statues, gaping at Chen Fan stupidly in shock and disbelief.
Master Chen was a synonym of legend. Even though Lin Tashan and Hong Sect had claimed Jiang Nan in Chen Fan's absence, Lin Tashan didn't have what it took to replace Chen Fan's spot in everyone's mind. Many tycoons in Jiang Zhou City still considered Chen Fan the uncrowned king of Jiang Bei.
The development had taken the wind out of Master Hong's sails. He looked at Chen Fan incredulously and asked: ”You are Chen Beixuan? Didn't you die in Siberia? How did you survive the Father of All Bombs?”
”Noisy!”
Chen Fan furrowed his brows as the small gourd started to hum. Suddenly, a golden light shot out from the gourd and flew at Master Hong. Master Hong passed out immediately as soon as the energy come to contact with him.
Lord Wu was overtaken by fear, his body trembled uncontrollably as he turned into a bundle of nerves.
As Chen Fan had used the Art of Soul Searching to extract the last bit of information from Lord Wu, Chen Fan snapped the old man's neck with a sleek and decisive move.
”Death is the only punishment for those who double-crossed me.”
Chen Fan left Jiang Zhou City and headed toward other cities in Jiang Bei.
”It really caught me off guard that Jiang Bei had turned on me so quickly.”
Chen Fan's anger flared after he had learned the full extent of the situation because of the information he extracted from Lord Wu's mind.
”Zhou Tianhao, Liu Guodong, Han Tianshen, and Third Lord Wei… All of you have turned against me. How disappointing! I would never have thought that anyone from the Wei family would be involved, but I guess the multi-billion yuan business was just too tempting for Third Lord Wei.”
A cold light grew brighter in Chen Fan's eyes as he pondered on.
He advanced with incredible speed and reached one city after another in a matter of minutes.
Seventeen minutes later, Chen Fan barged into Qin Shui city and killed Liu Guodong
Half an hour later, Chen Fan reached Tian He City and ended Han Tianshen's life.
Fifty-three minutes later, He killed the tycoon of Yun Hai city, Tiger Head Qiang.
An hour and seventeen minutes later…
When Chen Fan walked out of Hai Zhou city after killing Xu Ao's successor, Xu Long who had capitulated to Lin Tashan, merely two hours had passed. While he was at Hai Zhou, he had killed over a hundred people at Xu Long's residence, turning it into a bloodbath.
