“You mean there are over a dozen Grandmasters outside?”
Chairman Tianhai’s brow furrowed. “Elder Bai, do you understand what that implies?”
“I am fully aware!”
Elder Bai said solemnly, “If not, I wouldn’t dare to intervene. I presume this matter must be related to that father and daughter. Chairman, why not release them and avoid disaster?”
“What a joke! I am the Chairman of Tianhai. Even if that father and daughter have an immensely powerful figure behind them, can they be more powerful than me?”
Chairman Tianhai’s expression was cold, and he exuded an imposing aura.
Elder Bai was helpless. Someone who could casually summon over a dozen Grandmasters could not possibly be an ordinary person.
If it truly came to a confrontation, the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce would be no match.
Outside the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, Gu Wen stood by, his expression indifferent.
Before Lu Fan arrived, he wouldn’t allow anyone to leave the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce.
Before long, Lu Fan arrived at the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, with Yang Shiyun following beside him.
“Master!” Gu Wen cupped his fist. “The Tianhai Chamber of Commerce has been sealed off. The Chairman is inside!”
Lu Fan nodded slightly and stepped towards the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. Despite the presence of various experts within the chamber, they felt a sense of dread upon seeing Lu Fan’s arrival.
For some unknown reason, Lu Fan’s mere presence, his aura alone, was enough to instill fear in them.
“Who are you?”
Chairman Tianhai said coldly, “Why have you sealed off the chamber? Such actions warrant an explanation, don’t you think?”
“Where is my uncle?”
Lu Fan said coldly, “Within ten breaths, you had best let me see him!”
Chairman Tianhai’s face instantly turned grim. He had not intended to make things difficult for Lu Fan and was planning to release Yang Shiwen. However, Lu Fan’s tone filled him with displeasure.
“Even if you have a powerful background and many experts under your command, you shouldn’t act like this!”
Chairman Tianhai said coldly, “Are you trying to antagonize the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce with such behavior?”
“The moment the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce seized people, they became my enemy!”
Lu Fan sneered. “Ten breaths have passed, and I still haven’t seen my uncle. It seems the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce is truly in for trouble!”
“What a massive joke!”
Chairman Tianhai laughed heartily. “Boy, do you know who is behind me?”
“Even if the person behind you is the Jade Emperor himself, you will pay the price today!”
Lu Fan’s eyes glinted with coldness. The experts from Qingyun Sect were restless. They had weathered countless storms and faced life and death on the extraterritorial battlefield; how could they be intimidated by these people before them?
“Everyone, heed my command! Anyone who dares to act, kill without mercy!”
Lu Fan’s expression was indifferent as he walked towards the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce warehouse. He could already sense Yang Shiwen’s presence nearby.
Seeing that no one from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce dared to move, Chairman Tianhai’s face turned ashen. “What are you all standing around for? Why aren’t you stopping them?”
Within the entire chamber, not a single person made a move. They all lowered their heads. The oppressive aura of the Qingyun Sect members made it difficult for them to breathe, and they dared not act rashly.
The warehouse door was opened, and upon seeing Lu Fan, Yang Shiwen exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Fan, it’s really you!”
“Second Uncle, are you alright?”
Lu Fan asked, “I’m late!”
“Not late, not late!”
Yang Shiwen shook his head, his heart filled with joy. He had thought he was facing certain doom today, but he hadn’t expected Lu Fan to come.
“Xiao Fan, I knew you would come!”
Yang Zixin exclaimed excitedly, “You must teach that Chairman Tianhai a lesson. He’s no good!”
“Don’t worry, I will not let him off the hook!”
Lu Fan nodded solemnly. Those who dared to lay hands on his loved ones would never have a good end, for this was Lu Fan’s inviolable boundary.
After rescuing Yang Shiwen, Lu Fan turned to face Chairman Tianhai. “To forcefully acquire a company, is this the way the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce behaves?”
“You have insulted my chamber today, and you will regret it in the future!”
Chairman Tianhai said coldly, “Don’t think you can be reckless just because you have a few experts. The Ninth Elder of Longguo is my close relative. If you offend me, you offend him!”
“Ninth Elder of Longguo?” Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan’s body trembled slightly. He had heard some rumors on his way to Chu Prefecture, but hearing it confirmed still stirred him.
Seeing Lu Fan’s expression change, Chairman Tianhai was overjoyed. As long as Lu Fan was afraid, he could act without restraint.
“Even if you are a close relative of the Ninth Elder, you shouldn’t act so outrageously!”
Lu Fan said coldly, “If you apologize personally today, I will spare you for the sake of the Ninth Elder!”
Thinking of the Ninth Elder who had sacrificed an arm to protect Longguo, Lu Fan’s nostrils tingled with emotion. Since the person before him was a close relative of the Ninth Elder, Lu Fan naturally wouldn’t go too far.
“Ridiculous.”
Chairman Tianhai burst into laughter. “When has the dignified Chairman Tianhai ever apologized to anyone!”
The Qingyun Sect members’ expressions turned hostile, and Chairman Tianhai’s words ignited their anger.
Lu Fan’s face darkened. He had intended to give Chairman Tianhai a chance to repent, but seeing the current scene, he felt a headache coming on.
“Xiao Fan, we are safe now. Let’s let this matter rest!”
Yang Shiwen spoke, knowing that Lu Fan had his difficulties and not wanting Lu Fan to act this way.
“This…”
Lu Fan’s brow furrowed instantly. He had wanted to punish Chairman Tianhai, but thinking of all that the Ninth Elder had done for Longguo, he didn’t know how to proceed.
Just then, a helicopter appeared in the sky above Chu Prefecture. Two figures leaped down, exuding an unparalleled aura.
As the two elders steadied themselves, Chairman Tianhai rejoiced. “Second Uncle, you’ve arrived at the perfect time!”
He was still worried about how to deal with Lu Fan and his group, and now that the Ninth Elder himself had arrived, Lu Fan would be no match.
The Ninth Elder ignored everyone else and walked directly to Lu Fan’s side. “Lu boy, it’s my failure to discipline properly that led to this situation!”
“Ninth Elder!”
Lu Fan’s body trembled. “Aren’t you still recuperating? How did you come to Chu Prefecture?”
“Naturally, it was for the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce!”
Elder Qi spoke, “If not for that, why would the Ninth Elder personally come!”
Chairman Tianhai was also surprised. He never imagined that the Ninth Elder would be so deferential to Lu Fan.
“The matter has been resolved. Ninth Elder, there’s no need to worry!”
Lu Fan said with a smile. “Since he is a close relative of the Ninth Elder, I naturally won’t do anything!”
“Lu boy, your words are too kind to this old man!”
The Ninth Elder said solemnly, “I have come to Chu Prefecture today to uphold justice by punishing my own kin!”
Everyone present trembled, and even Chairman Tianhai was stunned, never expecting his second uncle to act this way.
“Second Uncle, I am your nephew!”
Chairman Tianhai said solemnly, “Who exactly is he that you are showing such leniency and disregard?”
“Rascal!”
The Ninth Elder berated him. “Why aren’t you kneeling down!”
Chairman Tianhai froze, his heart filled with resentment. Among the people present were many members of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. If he were to kneel, what would become of his reputation in the future?
“Second Uncle, are you truly going to uphold justice by punishing your own kin?” Chairman Tianhai’s voice was hoarse.
