Chapter 453 Betrayal

"You dare to cripple one of my hands!" Xia Junwen's face turned ashen, sweat beading on his forehead. He never expected Lu Fan to be so formidable.

"Today it's just one hand. If you dare to cause trouble again in the future, the entire Xia family need not exist!"

Lu Fan sneered, "If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Seeing Lu Fan's expression, Xia Junwen was filled with unwillingness. He wanted to utter threats, but in the end, he dared not say a word. He was well aware that he was currently at Lu Fan's mercy. If he uttered any more threats, Lu Fan would surely not let him off.

"Did you hear clearly? This time it's just a warning!" Gu Wen spoke, "If there's a next time, it won't be this simple!"

"Heard clearly! Heard clearly!" Xia Junwen quickly nodded. Although he felt greatly humiliated, he was no match for Lu Fan. If he rashly offended him, it wouldn't be so easy to leave the bar today.

"Giving up so quickly, it's no fun at all!" Long Yi rolled his eyes, "The proud young master of the Xia family, being so humiliated, shouldn't you try to get some face back!"

Xia Junwen's expression turned ugly. Before Long Yi said anything, his face was already losing face, and Long Yi's words made it even more so.

"You're really meddling!"

Lu Fan glanced over, then looked back at Xia Junwen, "Remember what I said today. If there's a next time, I will absolutely not be lenient!"

Xia Junwen quickly nodded, completely losing his usual demeanor. Relying on Lu Fan's ruthlessness just now, he dared not offend him recklessly.

The many prodigal sons standing by could only remain still, not daring to make any moves. Lu Fan and the others were all martial artists. If they were rashly offended, they would also suffer greatly.

"Let him go!" Lu Fan commanded, "Since he has agreed, he must know the consequences!"

Gu Wen nodded slightly and then released Xia Junwen. They left the bar with Lu Fan. Their purpose for coming here this time was mainly to deter Xia Junwen. If the Xia family was uncooperative, Lu Fan wouldn't mind dealing with them.

Gazing at Lu Fan's departing back, the young master Xia's lips were pale, but his eyes were quite venomous. As the young master of the Xia family, the pride of the entire Donghai City, how could he not be enraged at being taught a lesson like this?

Not only were the people in the private room witnesses, but even those in the public areas saw the scene inside the private room. If he couldn't reclaim his face, where would the Xia family's dignity go?

"Young Master Xia, who exactly is he? He's too powerful!" a man asked, "There are very few people in Donghai City who dare to lay hands on Young Master Xia!"

"I will never let this matter go. I will definitely make them pay dearly!"

Xia Junwen's expression was icy, "Daring to lay hands on me in Donghai City will definitely make him pay the price!"

"Yes, we must make him pay the price, otherwise they'll really think the Xia family is easy to bully!"

Several men nodded in unison, appearing indignant.

Xia Junwen didn't linger in the bar and turned to leave with his entourage. This matter had dealt a significant blow to him. If he couldn't retaliate fiercely against Lu Fan, it would leave an indelible shadow in his heart.

Outside the bar, Gu Wen curiously asked, "Master, why didn't you just eliminate them? That way, there would be no future troubles!"

"They haven't done anything heinous. If they were eliminated, it wouldn't be a good thing." Lu Fan waved his hand, "After all, I am a guardian of the Dragon Kingdom. How could I make a fuss over such minor matters!"

"I think he won't let this matter rest and might even make a move against the Yang family!" Gu Wen said gravely.

"I gave them an opportunity. If they don't handle it well, they can't blame me!" Lu Fan's expression was cold, "If he dares to make a move against the Yang family, I will definitely make him pay the price, and I won't care about anything else!"

Gu Wen nodded solemnly. He naturally agreed with Lu Fan's words.

By the time they returned to the Yang family courtyard, it was already late at night. Yang Shai Hai was sitting in the courtyard, looking restless. Seeing Lu Fan and the others return, he finally showed a look of relief, "Where did you guys go? I thought something had happened to you when I realized you weren't here!"

"Just went out for some fresh air. Uncle, why are you still awake so late?" Lu Fan asked in surprise.

"Naturally, I can't sleep!" Yang Shai Hai said with a wry smile, "It's best that you all returned. Hurry up and get some rest!"

Lu Fan nodded slightly and smiled, "Uncle, you don't need to worry. The Xia family shouldn't send anyone in three days!"

"How do you know?" Yang Shai Hai asked, surprised.

"I'm just guessing!" Lu Fan said awkwardly, "The Xia family is powerful and influential; they shouldn't make things so difficult for the Yang family!"

"What you said is not wrong, but it's a pity that the Xia family wants to annex the Yang family, so how could they let us off!" Yang Shai Hai said with a wry smile, "There's no use telling you these things. You should hurry and rest!"

Lu Fan did not delay and directly returned to his room. Long Yi and Gu Wen also returned to their rooms.

After getting into bed, Lu Fan took out the Star Meteorite and concentrated his mind. He had a feeling, a sense of impending eruption. If a certain opportunity arose, he could reach a higher level.

A War Emperor was undoubtedly a top-tier expert in the entire country. If he could break through to the War Emperor realm, it would also be of great benefit to the country.

Even a small nation, with a War King protecting it, would surely prosper. Lu Fan had no doubt about this.

The next morning, Yang Shiyun and the others were sitting in the hall eating breakfast, with Lu Fan also present.

"Xiao Fan, how did you sleep last night?" Yang Shiyun asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Sister Shiyun. I slept very well last night!" Lu Fan said with a light smile, "I didn't expect this breakfast to be so sumptuous."

"If it were an ordinary breakfast, it wouldn't be this rich. It's because we saw you arrive, so everything was arranged so thoughtfully," Yang Shiyun replied with a smile.

"So that's how it is!" Lu Fan said with an awkward smile.

However, just then, there was a sudden commotion outside the Yang family's gate. More than a dozen figures were storming into the Yang family, looking very imposing.

"You guys are eating breakfast quite comfortably!"

Xia Junwen's voice was icy as he slowly walked in, his hand still bandaged. His hand had been broken last night, and he had been upset about it all night. Now that he could come to seek retribution, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"Xia Junwen, what are you doing?" Yang Shiyun frowned, "Didn't we agree on three days? Why are you here at my house so early in the morning!"

"We agreed on three days earlier, but your cousin broke my hand. I won't let this matter go," Xia Junwen said coldly.

"Xiao Fan, what's going on?" Yang Shiyun frowned.

"Xia Junwen, I warned you last night not to do anything foolish. Why didn't you listen?"

Lu Fan shook his head, looking at him as if he were already dead.
