Longhu Hall Headquarters.
Mo Hai, who was closing his eyes to rest, heard what was on the other end of the phone and suddenly stood up in shock, exclaiming, "What did you say?"
"Big Brother, Old Fifth and Old Sixth are both dead!"
Wang Yangyan's voice was filled with pain.
After confirming he hadn't misheard, Mo Hai sank back into his chair, his expression dazed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had been unable to contact Old Fifth and Old Sixth earlier and had wondered what they were up to, as they hadn't answered his many calls nor returned any.
It turned out they had been dead for a long time.
Grief and shock made Mo Hai tremble uncontrollably. The hands on his knees clenched the wooden armrests so tightly that cracks began to appear.
Longhu Hall had only five Grandmasters in total.
Three people had gone to Shanhai City on this trip, and now news had come that the Fifth and Sixth Hall Masters were both dead.
Although it was only the loss of two people, the loss was immeasurable for Longhu Hall.
Grandmasters were Longhu Hall's capital for being arrogant in Xuzhou.
With the loss of two people, Longhu Hall would be forced out of the ranks of Xuzhou's top powers, and they would have to keep a low profile, otherwise, they would be swallowed by other forces.
After more than ten seconds, Mo Hai finally recovered from his grief. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling as he asked angrily, "Do you know who did this?"
Of Longhu Hall's ten Hall Masters, excluding the newcomer Mo Shiqian, the other nine were brothers who had shared life and death.
If his brothers were killed, he would certainly seek revenge.
At the scene of the stronghold, Wang Yangyan looked at the already stiff corpses and estimated that the two had died yesterday, probably before Chu Fan went to the Qin family to find him.
A guess suddenly surfaced in his mind, and he sighed helplessly, saying, "Big Brother, if nothing unexpected happens, Old Fifth and Old Sixth were killed by him."
"He probably found this place first, dealt with Old Fifth and Old Sixth, and then came looking for me."
"It's just that their luck was not as good as mine!"
Upon learning that Chu Fan had killed the Fifth and Sixth Hall Masters, the raging anger in Mo Hai's heart suddenly felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on it, extinguishing it instantly.
If it were anyone else, this revenge would have to be taken.
But this person was Chu Fan, and Mo Hai knew very well that daring to seek revenge on him would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
"Big Brother, I have a suggestion!"
Wang Yangyan suddenly said.
"What suggestion!"
"Big Brother, didn't we discuss feigning submission to resolve this conflict and crisis?"
After a pause, he continued, "Our pretense seems to have to become real. Otherwise, if he finds out our plan, all of us will die."
"His strength is unimaginably powerful!"
At this moment, Wang Yangyan finally understood why Qin Tian had told him yesterday that his luck was incredibly good to have been able to fight Chu Fan and still be alive.
If he had wanted to kill him, it would have only taken a thought.
Wang Yangyan put himself in Chu Fan's shoes, thinking that if he knew Longhu Hall was only pretending to submit, with the aim of resolving the conflict and not truly yielding, he would definitely flatten the force that dared to scheme against him.
For Longhu Hall not to be annihilated, they could only act the part, cast aside their petty thoughts, and respectfully submit to Chu Fan, serving him.
Mo Hai fell into deep thought.
Mo Hai, as the leader, knew very well how much effort had been put into developing Longhu Hall to its current position.
He was very unwilling to hand over the empire he had finally built.
Wang Yangyan knew exactly what his big brother was contemplating. He continued, "Big Brother, if, as Big Brother Qin said, Longhu Hall submitting to him is not a bad thing."
"What he possesses is something we lack!"
"By following him, we will forge a different path."
Since he had not personally interacted with Chu Fan, Mo Hai was unsure if his strength was truly as terrifying as Wang Yangyan described. He hesitantly asked, "Yangyan, are you sure that doing this will make Longhu Hall extraordinary?"
The current Longhu Hall had only three Grandmaster powerhouses left, and its overall strength had been greatly reduced.
This was assuming the news could be contained. If their rivals knew that Longhu Hall had lost two Grandmasters, they would immediately launch a siege and annex all of Longhu Hall's businesses.
As someone with experience, Mo Hai realized that to change this situation, he truly had to bow down to Chu Fan.
With this relationship, if their rivals dared to target Longhu Hall, they would surely be annihilated.
However, this was not a small decision, and Mo Hai needed further confirmation.
Wang Yangyan had been completely convinced by Chu Fan's strength. He nodded and said, "Big Brother, I am also a member of Longhu Hall, and I am very clear about its current situation."
"If Longhu Hall does not want to disappear from Xuzhou, it must submit to him."
"Secondly, with him as our backing, if other forces dare to make any moves, they will be the ones to suffer."
"I am confident that as long as we willingly serve him, he can definitely change the future of Longhu Hall and make it reach the height that we have strived for years without achieving."
The more he thought about it, the more excited Wang Yangyan became.
He imagined that if the other forces in Xuzhou dared to target Longhu Hall, all they would need to do was invite Chu Fan over, and those forces would be wiped out in minutes.
With him as their patron, Longhu Hall would definitely become the number one force in Xuzhou.
This was a step that ten people had worked for years to achieve.
"Alright, let's do it this way!"
Mo Hai agreed with Wang Yangyan's suggestion, and his mindset completely changed. He regarded Chu Fan as the person he would serve from now on.
Shanhai Pavilion.
Chu Fan suddenly received a call from Ji Ningyue.
"Young Master, we've investigated. The approval for Tianfan Pharmaceutical's Nine Revolutions Divine Pill is stuck at the final review..."
"For some reason, the person in charge refuses to sign, which prevents the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill from entering the market."
"Your aunt has already found many people and used many connections, but she still hasn't been able to get the other party to agree."
Recently, Tianfan Pharmaceutical had been mainly producing the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill.
As long as the medicine didn't enter the market, it couldn't generate profits.
Chu Fan knew that his aunt, when asked, said she was fine and would handle it, but in reality, she was extremely anxious.
She didn't tell him the truth because she didn't want to trouble him.
"What is his name? Send me his information!"
Although his aunt didn't want him involved in this matter, Chu Fan decided to intervene proactively.
Zhang Wudao had provided a lot of information. Once he figured out the secret of the Dragon-shaped Jade Tablet, it would be time for him to leave Shanhai City.
Before leaving, he wanted to help Qin Xue establish Tianfan Pharmaceutical firmly in Shanhai City and remove any factors that might hinder its development.
Only then could he focus on his own affairs.
Soon, the information of the approval officer was sent to his phone.
After reading it, Chu Fan left Shanhai Pavilion and headed straight for the document approval department.
Chu Fan, who was radiating an imposing aura, was stopped by the security guards at the entrance of the approval department. This was because the cold aura he exuded made him look like he was about to cause trouble.
Facing the security guards blocking his way.
Chu Fan coldly shouted, "If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
