Ming Lao appeared confident and self-assured.
Calm.
Possessing a poise usually reserved for those in positions of authority.
Chen Fan listened and sneered coldly, "Sorry, old man, I'm not someone you can buy off with money!"
Ming Lao continued, "As I said, there's no one in this world that money can't settle!"
"Just state your price directly!"
Chen Fan remarked, "You have no idea about your current predicament!"
"Heh..."
Chen Fan's hand landed on the solid wood table.
A subtle wave of true qi was released.
In a short time, the solid wood table crumbled into powder.
The teapot and teacups on it fell to the ground with clatters, shattering...
This scene was quite eerie, causing Ming Lao's heart to tremble!
Was this guy's strength so terrifying?
Honestly, he was a little scared now!
However, for the sake of his dignity, he couldn't help himself!
He tried to maintain his composure!
When he reached for the teacup to drink, his arm began to tremble uncontrollably.
To cover his embarrassment, he stopped what he was doing.
Chen Fan, naturally, saw that he was scared and said coldly, "What? Old man, still trying to put on a show in front of me?"
Ming Lao's heart pounded, feeling as if facing a formidable enemy, "You... who exactly are you?"
Chen Fan snorted, "Who I am is not important!"
"What's important is that if you cooperate with me, I can overlook past events!"
"But if you don't cooperate, I don't mind loosening your muscles and bones a bit!"
"I am never soft-hearted with those who try to harm me, understand?"
Faced with the current Chen Fan, Ming Lao had no choice but to bow his head.
He no longer dared to be arrogant.
Just then, Uncle Fu rushed in, stammering, "Elder Ming, you..."
Ming Lao immediately roared, "Get out! Can't you see I'm having a chat with my young friend?"
Uncle Fu was a smart man and knew what was happening, so he quickly withdrew.
Embarrassed, he quickly withdrew.
Ming Lao then said, "Don't worry, I will cooperate fully!"
Now, he was in a position where he had to submit.
If he didn't, he might lose his life!
That would be a loss outweighing any gain!
Only then did Chen Fan take out the dragon-shaped jade pendant and say, "I heard you have considerable research in jade craftsmanship, take a look at the origin of this piece!"
The moment Ming Lao saw the jade pendant in Chen Fan's hand, his eyes instantly became fixed.
He yearned to possess it immediately!
It was indeed a good item!
This Wang Da Na hadn't lied to him!
However, the only flaw was that this jade was in the hands of someone he couldn't afford to offend!
"Don't just stand there, speak quickly..." Chen Fan was becoming impatient.
Hearing this, Ming Lao came to his senses and quickly said, "This jade is indeed a priceless treasure, it can definitely fetch a good price! As for the double dragons, I suddenly recalled a story circulating in the martial arts world. It is said that people from the Bao Long clan mostly wear dragon-shaped jade pendants... As for its authenticity, no one knows, after all, they are like legends... ordinary people like us can't get in touch with them..."
This wasn't the first time Chen Fan had heard of the Bao Long clan. Could such a clan truly exist in this world?
Ming Lao continued, "The jade pendant in your hand resembles the one in the legends, yet it is also different! According to legend, the Bao Long clan mostly wears single dragons, while yours has double dragons..."
