Chapter 1 The Red Stone Restaurant

The Red Stone Restaurant of Fenglin City.

As one of the top private restaurants in Fenglin City, it operates on a strict membership basis and is not open to the public at all. Ordinary people can't even dream of eating here, no matter how much money they have. However, it is a place where many influential people in the city often gather to discuss matters.

Firstly, it is very safe here. Even when discussing confidential matters, there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped on by experts. This can be seen from the restaurant's exceptionally skilled receptionists alone.

Secondly, the delicious food and wine here are unforgettable, even for those who are used to delicacies from land and sea. However, the Red Stone Restaurant does not offer delivery services. If you want to eat the food here, you have to come in person.

Because of these two points, almost everyone with any influence in Fenglin City comes here regularly, and the Fang family is a frequent visitor.

In the VIP box on the seventh floor of the Red Stone Restaurant, two young men were sitting at a table full of delicacies, eating and chatting. One of the young men was rugged, and the other was refined. If ordinary people saw them, they would never think that the two were brothers.

The refined young man was Fang Xiaotian, the current person in charge of the Fang family. He was dressed in a white gown and looked like a cultured scholar. Although Fang Xiaotian looked very young, appearing to be only twenty-four or five years old, he was actually over thirty and was the eldest son of the Fang family.

The muscular young man next to him, who looked like a bull, was Fang Xiaotian's second younger brother, Fang Mingyu.

"Second brother, will there be any problems on your side for this year's annual martial arts gathering of the five great families?" Fang Xiaotian asked, looking at Fang Mingyu.

Their Fang family was not comparable to those external families. They were an ancient martial arts family, and the annual martial arts gathering held by the five great families was much more high-end than any national competition.

"Don't worry, big brother. This year's annual martial arts gathering will definitely belong to our Fang family." Fang Mingyu smiled and pointed to the extremely youthful men standing beside him. "They have all been personally trained by me, and two of them have already mastered anjin (covert force)."

The dozen or so young men standing behind Fang Mingyu were not very old, none of them were even twenty years old, and the youngest was only seventeen years old. However, their physical fitness was so good that even some of the athletes in the national competition could not compare.

"That's good." Fang Xiaotian nodded. "Recently, the virtual game *God Domain* has become extremely popular, and many large consortia have invested a lot of money into it. The old master wants us to get involved as well. You should prepare yourself recently."

"We have to get involved too?" Fang Mingyu asked in surprise.

"Yes, this involves some secrets, and our Fang family naturally has to get a piece of the pie." Fang Xiaotian said, "So this time, I want to propose to the old master that we propose marriage to the Bai family."

"The Bai family's girl, Bai Qingxue, is not only beautiful, but also very capable. She was able to protect her elder brother's guild. If she is given ten years, the Bai family might even be able to enter our circle. It's a pity that the Blackwater Consortium interfered, but now she is also doing very well in *God Domain*, which has benefited the Bai Group a lot. She is perfect for the third brother."

"Now the third brother can finally settle down. He spends his days drinking and indulging in pleasure. The old master has scolded him several times, but he still doesn't know how to repent." Fang Mingyu couldn't help but laugh.

Although his third brother was useless, he was still a direct descendant of the Fang family. The Bai family was only a second-rate family in Fenglin City. Being willing to marry Bai Qingxue was already a high honor for the Bai family.

"However, the little girl from the Bai family has been making constant moves recently. If you have time, go to the Bai family and give them a slight warning. If that doesn't work, ask the old master of the Bai family to come over for a visit and say that our old master wants to meet him." Fang Xiaotian said.

"Okay, I'll take care of it later." Fang Mingyu nodded.

He didn't care much about such matters. Their Fang family had already taken the initiative. If the Bai family didn't appreciate their favor, they would have to force the Bai family to get out of Fenglin City. The Bai family should be well aware of this and would naturally know how to choose.

Outside the Red Stone Restaurant, Shi Feng had arrived.

Previously, Liang Jing had already found out that Fang Xiaotian, the current person in charge of the Fang family and also the eldest son, was at the Red Stone Restaurant. Fang Xiaotian was also the one who proposed that his third brother propose marriage, so naturally he had to find Fang Xiaotian to discuss the matter.

After Shi Feng gave his instructions, Liang Jing arranged for a car to come over.

"Let's go in." Shi Feng glanced at the Red Stone Restaurant and said to Xiao Yu, who had arrived.

He was not a member of the Red Stone Restaurant, but Xiao Yu had become a member of the Red Stone Restaurant because of Han Yifeng's connections. However, even so, the annual membership fee alone cost two million credit points, which ordinary bosses really couldn't afford.

"Chief Instructor Shi, you don't really want to find Fang Xiaotian, do you?" Xiao Yu looked at Shi Feng anxiously and said, "Although the Fang family is far inferior to the Xinghang Consortium, they are deeply rooted in Fenglin City and have a very large influence, especially in the Fenglin City's fighting world. They are the absolute authority. Our Tiandu Training Center has only just developed. If we offend them now, the consequences will be…"

"Old Xiao, you're afraid of offending them, but they probably don't even know what the consequences will be for offending us." Lei Bao said with a smile, "Alright, let's go in."

Xiao Yu was speechless, feeling that Lei Bao was simply making trouble.

However, seeing Shi Feng's attitude, Xiao Yu could only grit his teeth and lead Shi Feng inside.

Soon, inside the Red Stone Restaurant, Shi Feng and the others were led by the receptionist to the front of the VIP box on the seventh floor.

At this time, there were four burly men in black suits and sunglasses guarding the door of the box. These men were Fang Xiaotian's bodyguards. These people had a strong aura. Although they were just standing at the door, they were observing everything in the entire hall on the seventh floor. As long as there was any disturbance, they would be able to know immediately.

Moreover, the four of them standing together put even Lei Bao under considerable pressure.

This was because these four were rare experts who had mastered anjin (covert force). In the fighting world of small cities, they were all big shots, but now they were willing to be the bodyguards of the Fang family, which showed the Fang family's strength.

"Sir, this is a private box. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." The bodyguard saw Shi Feng and the others coming over and directly blocked their way.

"Just say that Shi Feng from the Tiandu Training Center wants to have a chat with Young Master Fang." Shi Feng was not surprised by this and said.

"Then you wait a moment." The bodyguard listened and immediately used his headset to confirm.

After the bodyguards inside the box received the message, they immediately relayed it to Fang Xiaotian.

"Shi Feng, the owner of the Tiandu Training Center?" Fang Xiaotian immediately smiled. "It seems he wants to stand up for Bai Qingxue."

"He really overestimates himself. He's just the owner of a new training center, yet he dares to come and see us?" Fang Mingyu frowned slightly and said coldly, "It seems that I have been away from Fenglin City for too long. These people have already forgotten about me!"

"Forget it, let them go away." Fang Xiaotian thought for a while and still stopped him.

Afterwards, the bodyguard informed the bodyguards outside the box about this matter and asked them to resolve it.

However, before Fang Xiaotian could finish speaking, the door of the box was directly opened, and a young man walked in from the door. Behind the young man were two others, Lei Bao and Xiao Yu.
