Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 385: Really Have No Shame at All
Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Really Have No Shame at All
Mu Tianxiong took two steps forward, staring at Guan Yunlong and said, "Guan Family Head, those two projects were fairly earned by my Mu Family, and we will absolutely not give them up. Please take your people and go back."
A cold smile appeared on Guan Yunlong’s face as he said, "Old Mr. Mu, you are an elder, and we shouldn’t be doing this, but those two projects are extremely important to my Guan Family. We are compelled to come here out of desperation, so I ask for Old Mr. Mu to show some face and forfeit those two projects to my Guan Family. In return, my Guan Family will surely repay you handsomely."
Mu Tianxiong snorted, "Guan Yunlong, your Guan Family is on par with my Mu Family in strength, from where do you get the confidence to demand the projects from my hands? Not to mention my Mu Family now has a close connection with the Jiang Family, you should know the Jiang Family has a Divine Realm master at their helm. Aren’t you afraid that the Jiang Family might get involved in this matter by coming here now?"
Guan Yunlong gave a cold laugh, "I am of course aware of Old Mr. Mu’s connection with the Jiang Family, but the fact that we dared to come means we are not afraid of that old ancestor of the Jiang Family."
"To say it another way, our Guan Family has never feared the Jiang Family from the start. We have not contested with the Jiang Family over the years, merely out of discretion."
Mu Tianxiong stared at Guan Yunlong and asked, "Do you really not understand how powerful a Divine Realm master is?"
Guan Yunlong replied with a smile, "Of course I understand. It is precisely because I know how formidable a Divine Realm master is that my Guan Family does not fear the Jiang Family!"
"There’s no point in beating around the bush any longer. Most people in the Capital only know that my Guan Family focuses solely on business development, but few are aware that my Guan Family has an ancestor who has not emerged into the world. This ancestor has also achieved the Divine Realm and is even more powerful than the Jiang Family’s ancestor by a good margin, having reached the Third Grade of the Divine Realm!"
"So, Old Mr. Mu, do you now understand why we are undeterred by your relationship with the Jiang Family and insist on taking the projects?"
Mu Tianxiong’s expression changed, "What! Your Guan Family has a Third Grade Divine Realm ancestor!"
The Mu Family’s crowd exclaimed in shock, their faces showing disbelief.
Zhang Li and the others, clearly not knowing what the Divine Realm meant, all turned their heads to look at Zhou Hao and asked, "What is the Divine Realm?"
Zhou Hao said with a grave face, "I’ve only heard about it from friends. It is said that masters who have reached the Divine Realm possess the power to destroy heavens and earth, various means, and Divine Skills, no different from Immortals. Furthermore, their lifespan has surpassed that of ordinary people, with some powerful individuals even living for hundreds to thousands of years!"
Zhang Li and the group were all dumbfounded. Although they had established themselves in the Capital through their own efforts, they were, after all, still struggling in the mundane mire. The existence of Divine Realm masters far exceeded their reach.
"To think there are people who can live for hundreds to thousands of years, that’s terrifying. The Guan Family actually has such a formidable existence, no wonder they have the confidence to demand the projects from the Mu Family," Zhang Li muttered to herself.
Chen Fan, upon hearing Guan Yunlong’s words, raised an eyebrow, "A Third Grade Divine Realm, is that the one who tried to Curse Kill me? The people from the Guan Family probably don’t know that their revered ancestor has already been gravely injured by me from afar."
Su Qingyan’s brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked anxious, clearly not expecting the Guan Family to have such a powerful being.
She turned her head to look at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with inquiry, as she did not know the extent of Chen Fan’s power after his breakthrough.
Chen Fan smiled reassuringly at her.
Only then did Su Qingyan feel slightly at ease.
Zhou Hao, seeing Su Qingyan’s anxious expression, couldn’t help feeling smug inside, thinking that if the Mu Family lost those two projects, they would surely be greatly weakened. Coupled with the pressure from competitors, the Mu Family might well decline, and then you won’t have such a powerful backing anymore, and without any real abilities, you will certainly fare worse than me. When you rejected me back then, you never thought you would fall to this level.
He then glanced at Chen Fan, and seeing the man’s calm and composed demeanor, he scorned, "Truly just a pretty face. He is probably still oblivious to the current situation, maybe even still dreaming about marrying into a wealthy family."
Guan Yunlong, looking arrogantly at Mu Tianxiong, asked, "Old Mr. Mu, are you still insisting on not conceding those two projects to my Guan Family?"
Mu Tianxiong hesitated.
Despite not knowing whether Guan Yunlong was telling the truth or not, he simply did not dare to gamble. If the Guan Family really had a Third Grade Divine Realm expert in their corner, his refusal would definitely spell disaster for the Mu Family.
Moreover, looking at Guan Yunlong’s demeanor, he certainly did not seem to be bluffing.
Just at that moment, Chen Fan arrived in front of the Guan Family members, staring at Guan Yunlong and said coldly, "Old Mr. Mu secured the project through competition, and your Guan Family, lacking the ability, resorted to using a Divine Realm expert to intimidate others. That’s really shameless of you."
A brief silence fell over the yard.
The spectators from the Guan Family all had a sharp glint in their eyes, clearly not expecting someone to dare make such a suicidal comment after they brought out a third-ranked Divine Realm expert.
Zhou Hao and others were surprised to see Chen Fan step forward, and they quickly began to mock his foolish act.
"This guy must be out of his mind, even the old master of the Mu Family was scared into silence upon hearing about the third-ranked Divine Realm expert, yet he jumps out, acting fearless. Isn’t this just causing unnecessary trouble for the Mu Family?"
"I’m really laughing here, this guy, even if he wants to show off, should pick a better time. Speaking such arrogant words without understanding the situation is like pushing the Mu Family into the fire pit."
...
Zhou Hao scoffed as he stared at Chen Fan, muttering, "What an idiot. It seems these handsome ones tend to be brainless."
Seeing Chen Fan step forward and give not an ounce of face to the Guan Family, the Mu Family members all had a change in expression.
But they had seen Chen Fan’s methods before, with the Jiang Family ancestor even respectfully addressing Chen Fan as Master. Thus, they knew Chen Fan would not stand up without reason.
Many from the Mu Family began to speculate whether Chen Fan had some way to deal with a third-ranked Divine Realm, which would explain why he dared to speak out like this.
Zhou Yunlong scrutinized Chen Fan and narrowed his eyes, saying coldly, "Boy, do you know the consequences of speaking such words? Old Mr. Mu, aren’t you going to discipline your Mu Family junior here?"
Mu Tianxiong had a deep trust in Chen Fan. Although he was uncertain whether Chen Fan could contend with a third-ranked Divine Realm, since the latter dared to stand up for the Mu Family, he naturally could not show weakness, so he said, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what he said. Your Guan Family indeed has no shame."
Guan Yunlong’s complexion changed, and he said through gritted teeth, "Is your Mu Family intent on seeking death?"
Zhou Hao and the others all looked puzzled, with Zhou Hao muttering to himself, "The old master of the Mu Family is really confused. At a time like this, he should be distancing himself from this Chen Fan."
Chen Fan glanced at Guan Yunlong and said indifferently, "The ones finding death are you. It’s one thing for your daughter to be foolish, but for you to be so oblivious, it seems I need to teach your Guan Family a lesson!" freёweɓnovel.com
After finishing his words, he waved his hand grandly, and a gust of wind arose, directly sweeping all the Guan Family members present off their feet, causing them to crash to the ground in a sprawl.
It should be noted that among these Guan Family members were several Transformation Realm experts, including Guan Yunlong and two other high-ranking members of the Guan Family, all at the ninth level of the Transformation Realm. Yet, they were so easily toppled by Chen Fan, shocking all the members of the Guan Family.
Zhou Hao and the others were dumbfounded, never imagining Chen Fan could be so powerful.
Guan Yunlong, gritting his teeth, got up from the ground and looked at Chen Fan warily, asking, "Are you a Divine Realm expert?"
Chen Fan replied dismissively, "Divine Realm? Just ants in my eyes."
Guan Yunlong snorted, "Don’t put on an act here. Even if you are of the Divine Realm, my Guan Family is not afraid of you. I will contact my family’s elder ancestor right now to deal with you. You will suffer then!"
No sooner had he finished speaking, when the severely injured and pale-faced Guan Xiaotian appeared at the Mu Mansion, accompanied by Guan Xiaolin.
