"What am I?" Mo Feng sneered with a haughty look in his eyes, "The achievements I, Mo Feng, have made are something you could never reach in your whole life. What do you think I am?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Most of the people present were skeptical of Lin Mo:
"Oh, this guy has no real skills and still tries to show off against Mr. Mo."
"I think this arrogant man is definitely not worthy of the Xia family's daughter!"
It wasn't just the surrounding people; even the direct descendants of the Xia family and Father Xia felt that Lin Mo was too presumptuous.
Having no skills and keeping a low profile is one thing, but now, his attitude was even more arrogant than Mo Feng's.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the door.
As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he laughed and said, "Old Master Xia, how have you been? I received the news late today and came one step behind, I hope you can forgive me."
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards the door.
When they saw who had arrived at the door, everyone was shocked:
"My God, how come he is here!"
"Who is Hong Gang?"
"You don't know him? He is the President of the Martial Arts Association and now, the Hong family ranks fourth in Imperial City!"
"What? Fourth? Isn't that much more impressive than the Mo family?"
"The face of Old Master Xia is truly great, even Hong Gang from the Hong family has personally come to wish him a long life."
However, Old Master Xia was completely puzzled and asked instinctively:
"Are... are you Mr. Hong from the Hong family?"
"Yes, it's me."
Hong Gang nodded slightly.
Old Master Xia was even more perplexed and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Well, I am not acquainted with Mr. Hong, and our Xia family does not have any dealings with the Hong Family. I wonder why Mr. Hong would personally come to wish an old man like me a happy birthday?"
However, Hong Gang quickly walked up to Lin Mo and called out with great respect, "Mr. Lin."
At that moment, everyone was stunned! It became clear to them that Hong Gang's visit was completely due to the young man's influence!
Father Xia's face turned somewhat red; he had never imagined that Hong Gang would know Lin Mo and treat him with such deference.
The people present were also shocked, and Mo Feng's face looked somewhat ugly.
As for Old Master Xia, he was also very surprised.
Meanwhile, a group of people swiftly walked in from outside.
They were dressed expensively and carried themselves with a distinguished air, each emanating the aura of business magnates.
People quickly recognized them:
"My goodness, it's the Chairman of the Haotian Group!"
"And the President Ma of the Wei Yi Group!"
Everyone was slightly startled as these business tycoons respectfully approached Lin Mo and then simultaneously bowed:
"Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Lin!"
Everyone's eyes widened; when had they ever seen such an impressive scene?
And Old Master Xia was even more baffled. Why did all these people treat Lin Mo with such veneration, as if he was an international leader?
Old Master Xia couldn't understand, but he was very clear about one thing: Lin Mo's identity was certainly not simple.
At that moment, an expert in antiques who was particularly knowledgeable, his gaze fell upon the Eternal Jade Stone.
Seeing the Eternal Jade Stone casually placed among a pile of cheap gifts, he couldn't help asking Old Master Xia:
"Old Master Xia, do you... do you know what kind of gift that is?"
"My eyes are dim, I can't see clearly, but just now I had my son Junsheng appraise it; he said it's a fake."
"Counterfeit?"
Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "I am the president of the Antique Association, and this is definitely not a counterfeit, but a genuine Eternal Jade Stone!"
What?
Everyone in the venue almost fell to the ground, with Father Xia's face turning incredibly red. The Eternal Jade Stone, worth over three billion, had been dismissed as a counterfeit.
The crowd was repeatedly shocked, yet that wasn't all.
Just then, a startling voice came from outside the door:
"Mr. Ma has arrived!!"
"Mr. Ma? Which Mr. Ma?"
"The general manager of Die Mo Pharmaceutical!"
"What? The general manager of Die Mo Pharmaceutical?"
Everyone was utterly astonished. After all, Die Mo Pharmaceutical was the business tyrant of Imperial City!
Although they did not know the person steering Die Mo Pharmaceutical from behind, they knew Ma Jianlin, the executive general manager shown to the public.
When Ma Jianlin walked inside, the crowd couldn't help but swallow nervously to cope with their inner shock.
They hoped that Ma Jianlin was not here for Lin Mo.
After all, if one of the business tyrants' leaders were associated with Lin Mo, how extraordinarily powerful must Lin Mo's identity be?
However, after Ma Jianlin entered the villa, he barely glanced at anyone and went straight to the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.
Then, he bowed deeply, full of apologetic respect:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I was late because of some company issues, please forgive me."
Stunned!
In an instant, the people present were completely dumbfounded.
Be it Hong Gang from the fourth-ranked Hong Family of Imperial City, Ma Jianlin, one of the leaders of the top business tyrant, or numerous business magnates,
They all showed such respect and fear towards Lin Mo. Lin Mo's identity was terrifying indeed!
Father Xia nearly fell to the ground, his face covered in cold sweat. Had he known the unbelievable identity Lin Mo possessed, he never would have said those words to Lin Mo.
As for Mo Feng, his face darkened more and more. He had not anticipated that his family background, already so superior,
Would be so lacking compared to Lin Mo's!
However, Mo Feng's face twisted into a sinister, cold grin the next second, and he burst out laughing:
"Ha ha ha... boy, you really surprised me!"
"But background alone isn't enough!"
With that, Mo Feng's aura surged, and in an instant, the entire villa area was engulfed in flying sand and stones, the sky was filled with bizarre clouds, lightning flashed, and space tore apart.
Everyone was terrified.
Among the crowd, there were several Martial Arts Masters, who, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Mo Feng, immediately cried out in fear:
"High-level Martial Venerable?"
Everyone was panic-stricken. High-level Martial Venerable! What did that represent? Moreover, Mo Feng was only around twenty-one or twenty-two years old.
They had just been shocked by Lin Mo's identity, but now, everyone was terrified by Mo Feng's martial power.
To become a High-level Martial Venerable was like being an Immortal.
What are background and power compared to a Martial Venerate? They are merely ants.
Mo Feng, with a cold gaze fixed on Lin Mo, his demeanor full of authority:
"I disappeared for three years, and now I've returned as a High-level Martial Venerable. Among all the younger generation, who can compete with me? Who can surpass me, Mo Feng?"
"Boy, kneel down immediately and sever your own limbs!"
However, the next second, Lin Mo's figure soared into the sky, hands behind his back, stepping into the void, looking down at Mo Feng, giving off a sensation of overlooking the heavens and the earth:
"Your words, I'll return them to you. Do exactly that; otherwise, I will annihilate your entire family!"
