Flustered...
Dozens of guards quickly surrounded Chu Fan and the other person.
"How dare you trespass into the Treasure Pavilion, die!"
"How dare you injure our captain, kill!"
Angry growls echoed one after another.
Killing intent surged in every eye.
Fighting in front of the Treasure Pavilion and ambushing the captain was a direct challenge to the Treasure Pavilion's authority, showing utter disregard for them, the retired elite soldiers of the War Emperor Hall.
Even in retirement, a soldier's dignity was inviolable.
Little did they know, they were merely retired elite soldiers.
Their superior, the War Emperor himself, would kneel before the person in front of them, so what were they?
The sudden turn of events left Ji Ningyue stunned on the spot.
Her delicate face turned ashen, and her usually charming eyes revealed fear.
Despite being a "financial War Empress," she had experienced countless scenarios in the financial battlefield.
However, in reality, she was still just a fragile woman.
This was the first time she had witnessed such a scene in real life: a disagreement escalating into violence, with someone being kicked over ten meters away, their fate unknown.
She had initially believed that no matter how wealthy Guan Hongyun was, he would obediently bow down to the Azure Dragon Consortium.
Reality, however, delivered a harsh slap to her face.
Guan Hongyun clearly held the Azure Dragon Consortium and himself in contempt.
Whoosh...
A cold glint suddenly flew towards Ji Ningyue.
Ji Ningyue's instinct wasn't to dodge, but to close her eyes.
A breeze brushed her face, but the anticipated sting never came.
She slowly opened her eyes to see an extremely sharp knife, held by a hand just a fist's distance from her face.
"You, Young Master..." she stammered, her voice trembling with immense gratitude towards Chu Fan.
Women were extremely protective of their faces.
She knew very well that if it weren't for Chu Fan, her exquisite face would have been disfigured.
"Get behind me!"
A chilling aura emanated from Chu Fan.
Ji Ningyue snapped back to reality, quickly dragging her weakened legs backward.
The well-made dagger danced in Chu Fan's hand.
He suddenly looked up at the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"He can see me?"
"Impossible, how could he possibly see me?"
Behind the glass on the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, Guan Hongyun's expression shifted slightly, a chill crawling from the base of his spine all the way to his scalp.
His intuition told him that the person downstairs seemed to know he was standing there, watching.
With a smile,
Chu Fan made his move.
Ji Ningyue was still worrying if her young master might not be a match for these guards and was preparing to contact Lord Azure Dragon to send reinforcements.
What unfolded before her made her jaw drop wide enough to swallow an egg, her eyes widening beyond measure.
The guards, who all appeared formidable, were effortlessly defeated by Chu Fan, one after another.
"Quick, someone is forcibly entering the Treasure Pavilion through the main entrance, extremely strong, send reinforcements!"
Inside the Treasure Pavilion, the guards hired by Guan Hongyun rushed out, charging towards Chu Fan one after another.
On the top floor of the building.
Guan Hongyun's face had completely changed.
He knew very well the strength of the guards he had hired at such high prices.
Any one of them could easily take on forty to fifty people alone.
The formidable guard team was one of the things he boasted about externally, besides his treasures, indicating that no one could break into his Treasure Pavilion.
But now, he knew his aspirations were wishful thinking.
Without seeing it with his own eyes, it was hard to imagine.
His pride and joy, the guard team, was as fragile as tofu in front of Chu Fan.
"Quick, quick, go call Tony and Yak, tell them to come up!"
Guan Hongyun panicked.
He knew the guards wouldn't be able to stop Chu Fan.
It wouldn't be long before he broke through.
At this moment, he could only place his hope on the two elite bodyguard aces he had recruited from abroad with considerable expense.
Over the years, people had tried to kill Guan Hongyun.
In the end, all assailants met watery graves.
The two elite bodyguards acted like a solid shield, tightly protecting him.
In front of the Treasure Pavilion building.
In just one minute, only Chu Fan and Ji Ningyue were left standing at the scene.
Everyone else had fallen.
The guards who were still conscious now looked at Chu Fan with sheer terror in their eyes.
Having fought on battlefields for many years and slain countless enemies, they had never encountered anyone as formidable as this.
It was unimaginable how he, at such a young age, possessed such terrifying combat power.
Ji Ningyue's expression had long since shifted from initial fear to excitement, with a burning passion surging deep within her eyes.
"This is the man my Ji Ningyue desires."
"This is the man worthy of my Ji Ningyue."
"No, this is the kind of man worthy of me, Ji Ningyue!"
To have the young master be worthy of her, even in her heart, Ji Ningyue wouldn't dare to hope.
Patting his slightly creased sleeves, Chu Fan said calmly, "Let's go!"
Ji Ningyue hurriedly composed herself from her excitement and moved her delicate steps towards the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.
With all of the Treasure Pavilion's more than a hundred guards subdued, the two proceeded unimpeded all the way up.
Bang...
The locked office door exploded open.
Chu Fan calmly walked in.
Guan Hongyun maintained a strong composure, smilingly saying, "Young man, let's talk things through calmly. Fighting is not good for our harmony, is it?"
He hadn't expected Chu Fan to be so fast.
His two elite bodyguards hadn't arrived yet, so he could only feign submission to buy time.
Chu Fan walked to the boss's chair, which only Guan Hongyun was originally qualified to sit in, and sat down, crossing his legs.
"Talk things through calmly?"
"Is it you who doesn't want to talk calmly, or is it me?"
"I don't care if you disregard the Azure Dragon Consortium, but if you waste my time, you deserve to die!"
Too arrogant.
In his fifty-plus years of life, Guan Hongyun had never encountered such a presumptuous young man.
"Kid, you can be arrogant now, but later, even if you beg on your knees, it will be useless!"
Guan Hongyun thought to himself.
He knew that Chu Fan's arrogance stemmed mainly from his considerable strength.
What if he could take down the guard team?
His two elite bodyguards could handle Chu Fan with little more difficulty than squashing a small chick.
After all, the two elite bodyguards had once ranked in the top two hundred of the national War Emperor list.
Whoosh...
Whoosh...
Just as Guan Hongyun was about to ask why Chu Fan had stormed into the Treasure Pavilion and caused such a delay, two burly figures rushed into the office at high speed and stood before him, their gazes simultaneously falling upon Chu Fan and the other person.
Upon seeing Ji Ningyue, a discernible spark of desire flashed in their eyes. After exchanging glances, a tacit smile curved both of their lips.
Even though they had been intimate with countless women, those women were mere trash compared to the Ji Ningyue standing before them.
"Hmph!"
Ji Ningyue glared at them with her beautiful eyes.
Being brazenly stared at with lecherous gazes by two foreigners was a complete violation.
If she were as formidable as Chu Fan, she would personally gouge out their eyes and feed them to the dogs.
With the arrival of the elite bodyguards,
Guan Hongyun's confidence surged.
"Kid, you are the first person to forcibly enter the Treasure Pavilion."
"I will make everyone in the Dragon God Nation know what the consequences are for disrespecting the Treasure Pavilion, for disrespecting me, Guan Hongyun!"
Chu Fan sneered disdainfully.
Guan Hongyun snorted coldly, "Kid, do you know who they are?"
"Have you heard of the National War Emperor List?"
"Tony and Yak are super experts who have entered the top two hundred of the National War Emperor List!"
"Since you are seeking death today, I will oblige you!"
Chu Fan still sneered dismissively.
"If the top ten stood before me, I'd make them kneel, and they wouldn't dare to stand."
"Two hundred? Heh!"
Chu Fan flicked a finger, indicating that dealing with the two would take only one second.
Guan Hongyun paid no mind to Chu Fan's words, believing him to be a young, shortsighted, and arrogant individual with a narrow perspective.
"Tony, Yak, take care of that kid, and she will be yours!"
Tony and Yak immediately stepped forward.
The next second.
Guan Hongyun was so shocked that his heart nearly burst.
