"I have thought it over carefully, and you need not try to persuade me!"
The Zhao family head stated directly, "From now on, I will be loyal to Lord Lu, and I will have no other intentions!"
Although the Zhao family members were unwilling, since even the head of the Zhao family had spoken, they had no recourse.
Inside the Riverside Villa, as Lu Fan and Han Yunhai entered, two figures appeared but did not follow them directly.
"I truly didn't expect them to be able to live in the Riverside Villa!"
One man spoke, "Let's go inform Brother Tianhu now!"
In a large hall, Tianhu was playing with an object in his hand. The two men hurried over, saying, "Brother Tianhu, it has been investigated clearly. The person who made a move on the bus lives in the Riverside Villa!"
"Riverside Villa?" Tianhu frowned, "Did you see clearly?"
"Absolutely no mistake!" The man nodded seriously, "What should we do now?"
Tianhu said coldly, "Gather the men and head to the Riverside Villa! That brat dared to ruin my plans, how could I let him off so easily!"
"Brother Tianhu, being able to live in the Riverside Villa means his status is likely not low at this moment!"
The scarred man spoke, "If we act rashly, won't we alert the snake?"
"Hmph, so what?" Tianhu said coldly, "Has Tianhu ever been afraid of anyone in Chu Zhou?"
The scarred man dared not say more and prepared to mobilize the multitude of men.
Meanwhile, at the Zhao family in Chu Zhou, as soon as the Zhao family head sat down, someone delivered news that someone intended to harm Lord Lu in Chu Zhou.
Upon hearing this, the Zhao family head's expression changed, and he summoned many martial arts experts from the Zhao family.
Lu Fan had just arrived in Chu Zhou, and someone had already shown him disrespect. If Lu Fan were to blame them, how could he bear it?
At the Riverside Villa, after Lu Fan took a shower, he smiled and said, "We should go out for a walk!"
"It's late at night, where is Lord going?" Han Yunhai hurriedly asked, "Could it be you want to relax?"
"Someone was following us on the way here, and they should have arrived by now!" Lu Fan shrugged.
"Someone was following?" Han Yunhai looked surprised; he hadn't noticed at all.
At this very moment, outside the Riverside Villa, a group of people had already gathered. Everyone looked fierce and menacing, unlike ordinary people.
Tianhu, wearing combat boots, looked at the Riverside Villa with a murderous aura. His subordinates were even more arrogant.
Outside the villa, it was clearly surrounded by people.
"It really is this brat!"
The scarred man nodded, looking at Lu Fan at the same time.
"Having one arm severed, isn't that enough to show your misery?"
Lu Fan glanced at them and sneered, "You still dare to come?"
"You brat are truly arrogant!" The scarred man said coldly, "With Brother Tianhu here today, you will pay the price!"
Tianhu, wearing combat boots, also said coldly, "So you're the one who ruined my plans?"
"It should be me!"
Lu Fan nodded, "But with such a grand display, is it really necessary?"
"You ruined my plans and you dare to be so arrogant?" Tianhu said coldly, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Of course, I'm afraid of death!"
Lu Fan gave a wry smile, "It's just that you don't have the ability!"
Tianhu's eyes flashed with coldness. He knew Lu Fan had some skills, but he was also a martial artist. How could he allow Lu Fan to be so arrogant?
However, just as he was about to make a move, the men he brought were instantly surrounded. The leader was the Zhao family head: "What a bold demeanor, you dare to act so presumptuously within Chu Zhou!"
"Patriarch Zhao?"
Tianhu's expression changed, and his heart was shocked, "Why are you here?"
The Zhao family head ignored him and walked up to Lu Fan, bowing simultaneously, "It is our Zhao family's negligence in our care, please forgive me, Lord!"
Lu Fan chuckled, quite meaningfully, "Just on my first day in Chu Zhou, and I've encountered such a matter. Chu Zhou is indeed not an ordinary place!"
The Zhao family head's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Tianhu, "Why don't you kneel down?"
Tianhu trembled. He was, after all, a local boss. How could he easily kneel? But the Zhao family head was a Grandmaster. If he truly wanted to deal with him, how could he survive today?
What surprised him even more was, what kind of identity did Lu Fan possess that even a Grandmaster was so respectful to him? It was almost like a fantasy.
Realizing the situation was not right, Tianhu said directly, "Patriarch Zhao, our Zhao family and Jinguang Martial Arts School have always minded our own business. Why today..."
Before his words even fell, the Zhao family head struck out with a palm. Tianhu's legs instantly bent, and he was forced to his knees. His heart was filled with unwillingness, but he had no way out.
"You are merely a member of a martial arts school, yet you want to use Jinguang Martial Arts School to pressure me?" The Zhao family head said coldly, "Even if the master of Jinguang Martial Arts School were here, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like this!"
Tianhu's face turned ashen. Just as the Zhao family head said, even the master of the martial arts school was respectful to the Zhao family head.
But in the past, the Zhao family's attitude towards Jinguang Martial Arts School was by no means like this.
"He's from Jinguang Martial Arts?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "I almost misjudged him!"
"My Lord, he is a disciple of Jinguang Martial Arts School!" The Zhao family head cupped his fists, "He usually does some business in Chu Zhou, and I never expected him to dare to act so brazenly today!"
The scarred man knelt on the ground, his body trembling. He had thought Tianhu could avenge him, but now that the situation had come to this, he didn't know what to do.
"Since he is from Jinguang Martial Arts School, how can I let him off easily!"
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, a leaf flew towards Tianhu like a sharp sword.
Before Tianhu could react, one of his arms was severed at the waist, causing his subordinates to exclaim and all fall to their knees begging for mercy.
"Internal energy projection, Grandmaster martial artist!"
Tianhu uttered a few words with difficulty before passing out, his heart filled with fear.
He never imagined that he would provoke a Grandmaster. Wasn't this akin to seeking his own death?
"Carry him to Jinguang Martial Arts School!" Lu Fan said coldly, "I will personally go there tomorrow!"
"We obey your command, my Lord!"
The Zhao family head cupped his fists. He did not understand why Lu Fan would deal with Jinguang Martial Arts School, but they would never disobey Lu Fan's orders.
After a long while, outside Jinguang Martial Arts School, as a disciple shouted, many people came over. They looked at the unconscious Tianhu with great anger.
Jinguang Martial Arts School had a considerable reputation in Chu Zhou. Tianhu was a disciple of Jinguang Martial Arts School. Under normal circumstances, who would dare to lay a hand on Tianhu?
As Tianhu was carried inside, a middle-aged man stepped out and looked at the disciples before him, filled with grief and indignation.
"Master, you must avenge Tianhu!" Several disciples spoke, "This person dares to lay hands on junior brother Tianhu, which is a provocation to Jinguang Martial Arts School!"
The master of Jinguang Martial Arts School looked at the wound, his brow furrowed, "Internal energy aura, Grandmaster's technique. Could the person who attacked be the Zhao family head?"
Just then, the Zhao family members stormed into Jinguang Martial Arts School, making many disciples of the martial arts school vigilant.
The Zhao family was dominant within Chu Zhou, but the two major powers had always minded their own business. Now that the Zhao family was provoking them, they were even more astonished.
"Patriarch Zhao, what is the meaning of this?" The master of Jinguang Martial Arts School said coldly.
