"Mr. Lu, what should we do next?" Team Leader Zhou frowned. "What Fanxian Pavilion did is really not right."
"It's alright, I've already made a call," Lu Fan said with a smile. "Someone will be here soon!"
Team Leader Zhou nodded, not daring to ask further. However, judging by Lu Fan's demeanor, he knew that the person coming was of unusual status. Otherwise, how could Fanxian Pavilion be made to hand over the Emperor Green?
Inside Fanxian Pavilion, Ye Chen drank his tea, gazing at the Emperor Green with a satisfied expression. "Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to cause trouble in Fanxian Pavilion."
"Don't worry, Pavilion Master. They were just loud-mouthed," the man said with a smile. "In the end, didn't they obediently hand over the Emperor Green?"
"What? That kid was so cooperative?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"He said the Emperor Jade is worth five million. If Fanxian Pavilion wants it, they'll probably have to pay fifty million," the man said with a laugh. "He really thinks too highly of himself."
Ye Chen also gave a cold smile, not taking it seriously at all. Fanxian Pavilion's backing was the Stone King. Within Qingzhou, who would dare to disrespect the Stone King?
In the Gambling Stone City, many people advised Lu Fan, "Fanxian Pavilion is backed by the Stone King. It's nothing to suffer a small loss. You should leave quickly."
"Thank you for your reminder. I have my own plans," Lu Fan said with a smile.
Within Qingzhou, the true underground overlord was none other than the Azure Dragon Sect. Did the mere Fanxian Pavilion think they could make Lu Fan bow his head?
Not long after, more than ten cars arrived outside the Gambling Stone City. Numerous men in suits and ties, exuding an air of sophistication, emerged from the vehicles.
This caused a stir in the Gambling Stone City, with many people coming to watch.
"Mr. Lu!"
Little White Dragon rushed forward. "The manpower is ready."
"Within ten minutes, let Fanxian Pavilion know what true business acumen is!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent as he sat to the side, sipping his coffee.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Little White Dragon nodded and then charged towards Fanxian Pavilion, followed closely by the other men.
Inside the Gambling Stone City, everyone was astonished. They had initially thought Lu Fan was an unknown figure, but now they realized they had misjudged him.
After they left, Team Leader Zhou was filled with shock. He knew Lu Fan had powerful connections, but he never expected him to summon so many people with just one phone call.
"Master, something's wrong!" A man ran in from outside. "A lot of people have arrived, and they're heading for Fanxian Pavilion!"
Ye Chen was drinking tea. "Which ignorant fool dares to cause trouble at Fanxian Pavilion?"
"Judging by their attire, they seem to be from the Azure Dragon Sect!" the man said, flustered.
"The Azure Dragon Sect?" Ye Chen was startled and quickly stood up.
The doors of Fanxian Pavilion were kicked open, and the crowd surged in.
"Who is the master here?" Little White Dragon's expression was cold.
"Brother, I am the Pavilion Master of Fanxian Pavilion," Ye Chen stepped forward, trying to appease him. "Fanxian Pavilion and the Azure Dragon Sect have always minded their own business. May I ask why you are here today?"
"Mind our own business?" Little White Dragon sneered. "What is Fanxian Pavilion to dare to stand on equal footing with the Azure Dragon Sect!"
Ye Chen's brow furrowed, and he again put on a fawning smile. "It is my fault, my fault. May I ask the reason for your esteemed visit?"
"Fanxian Pavilion has quite the nerve to dare to snatch Mr. Lu's belongings?" Little White Dragon said coldly. "Are you tired of living?"
"Mr. Lu?" Ye Chen frowned. "Are you referring to the Emperor Jade?"
"Indeed!" Little White Dragon crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and then said coldly, "Within Qingzhou, no one dares to offend Mr. Lu. Even if Li Tiancheng himself came, he would have to bow and scrape. Who do you think you are?"
Li Tiancheng was the Stone King, renowned in Qingzhou. How could Little White Dragon not know him?
"It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"
Ye Chen was suddenly shocked. "Had we known Mr. Lu's identity earlier, Fanxian Pavilion would never have dared to offend you!"
"Hmph!" Little White Dragon said coldly. "Even our Sect Leader is respectful towards Mr. Lu. You figure out what to do! If Mr. Lu is displeased, even that old fellow Li Tiancheng might be implicated."
Ye Chen's face turned ashen. He regretted it immensely. If he had known Lu Fan's status, how could he have dared to be so presumptuous?
"Pavilion Master, why don't we fight them?" one of the men suggested. "It would be too humiliating to just admit defeat like this."
"Nonsense!" Ye Chen cursed. "Within Qingzhou, any force that opposes the Azure Dragon Sect has no good end. Hurry and bring out the Emperor Green!" Sudan Novel Network
The man said no more and handed the Emperor Jade to Ye Chen. Ye Chen quickly offered it. "There was a misunderstanding earlier. Fanxian Pavilion will never dare to offend Mr. Lu again. We don't want this Emperor Jade."
"You think handing the Emperor Jade to me will resolve this matter?" Little White Dragon said coldly. "If Mr. Lu doesn't speak, Fanxian Pavilion doesn't need to exist!"
Ye Chen was greatly alarmed and quickly led the people of Fanxian Pavilion towards the coffee shop in the Gambling Stone City.
Not long after, they arrived beside Lu Fan. Lu Fan sipped his coffee, looking at them with a detached expression. "I said earlier, if you wanted this Emperor Jade, you would have to lose fifty million. Have you thought this through?"
"Fifty million?" The man beside him frowned. Fanxian Pavilion's annual net profit didn't even reach this figure. Lu Fan was simply asking for the moon.
"Mr. Lu, I was blind earlier," Ye Chen clasped his fists. "The Emperor Jade has been brought. I hope Mr. Lu will be merciful."
"It seems you haven't thought it through?" Lu Fan smiled. "In that case, Fanxian Pavilion doesn't need to exist!"
Lu Fan was exceptionally domineering. He was not one to suffer losses. If someone snatched his Emperor Jade, he would make them pay the price.
"Mr. Lu, I already know I was wrong," Ye Chen said with a wry smile. "Fifty million is a large sum, I'm afraid..."
"Why say more!" Lu Fan's expression was cold. "We are all adults. For whatever we do, we must pay the appropriate price."
Ye Chen felt bitter, but finally said solemnly, "Mr. Lu is right. Fifty million will be sent over immediately. I hope Mr. Lu can let go of his anger."
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly. He didn't want to make things difficult for others, but if someone was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, he naturally wouldn't let himself be bullied.
Not long after, fifty million was delivered. Ye Chen bowed and scraped, his face plastered with a smile even though he had lost fifty million.
After Lu Fan and his group left, the man beside him asked, "Pavilion Master, is the fifty million just going to be like this..."
"The Azure Dragon Sect is not someone we can afford to offend," Ye Chen waved his hand. "I will discuss this matter with my master. As for how he will handle it, that is not for me to decide!"
Leaving the Gambling Stone City, Team Leader Zhou followed Lu Fan, his admiration growing.
Being robbed in the Gambling Stone City and then reclaiming it – this entire process required immense strength.
They hadn't walked far when Little White Dragon caught up. "Mr. Lu, in seven days, there will be a martial arts competition in Bailong Town!"
"Is it already arranged?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
