Chapter 803 Escalation
Xuanji Hall only had a foothold in Jiangnan Province, and it hadn't even reached the point of dominating Jiangnan Province. The difficulty of establishing a presence nationwide was imaginable, yet Chen Xuan was making Lone Wolf sound so formidable! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Looking at Chen Xuan's determined eyes, Yang Chaotian dismissed his doubts.
"Mr. Chen, I understand!"
"It's good that you understand!"
After that, Yang Chaotian looked at Huo Zhentian. "Master Huo, as per our prior agreement, you lost to Lone Wolf, so this mission should be led by Lone Wolf, with you as his deputy. Are you willing?"
"I... I am willing..."
Huo Zhentian said unhappily.
He had always been the captain when carrying out missions. This was the first time he was serving as a deputy, and to someone who had just joined Xuanji Hall and had no established foundation. He felt indignant!
But who could he blame other than himself for losing?
Lone Wolf shrugged. To maintain stability and unity within Xuanji Hall, he didn't object.
Although Huo Zhentian was conceited, his abilities were still decent. Taking him along might prove useful, especially since he felt Xuanji Hall's overall standard was still lacking.
If they wanted to complete the mission smoothly, Huo Zhentian's strength would still be needed.
"Then prepare yourselves. We depart in ten minutes. Also, everyone, hand in your mobile phones immediately and cut off all contact with the outside world." Yang Chaotian said coldly.
Ten minutes later, a group of people prepared to depart from the back door of Xuanji Hall.
Yang Chaotian and Chen Xuan were also in the group. Chen Xuan intended to join the excitement.
"It's been a long time since I've been on a mission. I'm a bit excited!"
Chen Xuan grinned, his face full of exhilaration.
Lone Wolf said, "Brother Xuan, I remember when you first started missions, your face was pale with nervousness. Once, you even forgot your firearm in the dormitory..."
"Hahaha..."
Chen Xuan's old face flushed red.
Having served for many years, Chen Xuan had participated in over a thousand missions.
In the early days of his missions, Chen Xuan was extremely nervous, unable to sleep for a night. He went on missions with dark circles under his eyes. Once, he even forgot to bring his personal firearm and was ridiculed for half a year.
However, Chen Xuan later overcame his fear. Even further, he eagerly anticipated every mission.
But such days were gone forever!
Now, he felt that sensation again!
"Mr. Chen, something big has happened!"
At this moment, a loud voice rang out.
Chen Xuan frowned and slowly turned his head. He saw a member of Xuanji Hall rushing over in a panic, his expression extremely anxious, as if something major had occurred.
"What is it?" Chen Xuan asked.
"Mr. Chen, something big has happened! According to the information we've received, the Fang family and the Li family have gathered a group of people and gone to the Su family villa to cause trouble!"
Chen Xuan's pupils contracted.
Was it because of Fang Shuo?
"Alright, I understand. Hurry and prepare a car for me!"
Soon, a sports car drove over and stopped beside Chen Xuan. The driver got out and gestured for Chen Xuan to get in.
Chen Xuan looked at Lone Wolf and Yang Chaotian. "I apologize, but I can't accompany you on this mission. Please be careful."
He also wanted to go on the mission with Lone Wolf, but there was something more important than the mission.
Lone Wolf said, "Brother Xuan, there will be other chances. We'll cooperate on the next mission."
Yang Chaotian also nodded.
Chen Xuan glanced at Yang Chaotian and instructed, "All actions must be under Lone Wolf's command!"
"Understood!" Yang Chaotian agreed.
Without further ado, Chen Xuan jumped into the sports car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like a cannonball!
Watching Chen Xuan's retreating back, Huo Zhentian's thoughts began to stir.
Lone Wolf, your martial arts are extraordinary, and your marksmanship is impeccable!
But is your command ability as good as mine?!
His reasoning was not without merit. It was like a skilled technician in a factory; although their technical skills were formidable, their management abilities might not match someone less skilled technically.
I, Huo Zhentian, still have a chance to hold my head high!
...
Su Family!
"Miss Su, your Su family's live-in son-in-law crippled my Fang Yongning's son, causing my Fang family to have no heirs. Your Su family must give my Fang family an explanation for this! Otherwise, this matter is not over!"
Fang Yongning said coldly, his face ashen.
"You must give us an explanation!"
"If the Su family doesn't provide an explanation, we will smash the Su family!"
Following Fang Yongning were over a hundred people. The room wasn't large enough to hold them all, and many remained in the courtyard outside.
Although the Su family was large, they didn't have many security personnel. However, they still stood in confrontation with Fang family's people, clutching various weapons, not daring to let their guard down!
Mo Xiaoxue guarded Su Yunxi's side, her gaze icy as she looked at these individuals, as if in her eyes, all of them were already dead bodies!
If Su Yunxi hadn't stopped her, Mo Xiaoxue would have already made a move.
Su Yunxi's expression was blank, her fair fists clenched, yet she remained remarkably calm and composed.
However, she knew Chen Xuan had stirred up immense trouble this time.
The patriarch of the Fang family was a single-line descendant. If Fang Shuo were to meet misfortune, it would undoubtedly enrage the Fang family, leading to their furious retaliation.
Li Tianxing raised his hand and pressed down. "Everyone, please don't be in such a hurry. We are here to discuss matters. Let's not be so impulsive!"
"No! A life for a life!"
"The Su family's live-in son-in-law has caused the Fang family to have no heirs; he must pay the price in blood!"
Despite Li Tianxing's words, the Fang family members not only ignored him but seemed to pour oil on the fire, their demands growing even louder.
"All of you, shut up! What good is killing? I didn't bring you here to kill! Anyone who dares to spout nonsense again, I'll have the Fang family patriarch kick you all out!"
Everything seemed to be within Li Tianxing's calculations. He grabbed a cup from the table and smashed it fiercely onto the ground, scattering shards everywhere!
Everyone's faces turned pale, and they immediately fell silent, trembling like mice.
Su Yunxi frowned, looking at Li Tianxing with confusion.
She never expected Li Tianxing to speak up for the Su family at this moment. Had Li Tianxing misread the script?
"Alright, listen to Patriarch Li!"
The Fang family patriarch, who had been feigning extreme anger, also spoke, and only then did the others fall silent.
Patriarch Li smiled at Su Yunxi. "The situation has reached this point, and there is no room for reversal. The Su family must take responsibility for this matter!"
Su Yunxi said in a deep voice, "As long as Chen Xuan is not harmed, we can discuss anything!"
Chen Xuan's importance to the Su family, and to Su Yunxi, was indeed significant.
Fang Yongning saw this and a cold smile appeared on his face.
He had driven to find Li Tianxing to discuss the matter just now. After the previous incident, they both knew that Su Yunxi would never abandon Chen Xuan. Now, as the discussion began, Su Yunxi had already expressed her stance, indicating their predictions were entirely correct.
"No!"
He continued with the plan, feigning extreme anger and saying furiously, "Negotiating with you is our Fang family's benevolence, but the prerequisite for negotiation must be for your Fang family to hand over Chen Xuan!"
"Our Su family's prerequisite for negotiation is that you cannot harm Chen Xuan!"
Su Yunxi refused to back down.
"Then there's nothing to discuss?"
"That's right. If you dare to touch a single hair on Chen Xuan's head, then our two families will go to war!"
In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.
