Chen Fan listened to Shangguan Feilong's roar.
He felt a bit helpless.
He sighed, this Shangguan family head was truly an idiot.
Utterly irredeemable!
Chen Fan coldly scoffed, "Your poison is completely useless on me!"
"What?"
Shangguan Feilong froze on the spot.
They stared at each other, wide-eyed.
"You... you're bluffing to my face!"
Shangguan Feilong refused to believe it was useless.
After all, he was desperately hoping Chen Fan would be utterly annihilated to avenge them.
Chen Fan was speechless, "If your poison was actually effective on me, I wouldn't be wasting my time haggling with you here!"
"..."
It was only then that Shangguan Feilong finally came to his senses.
He exclaimed inwardly.
Immediately, he hung up the phone.
"Elder He, your poison is actually ineffective against that scoundrel Chen Fan!"
Shangguan Feilong said resentfully, reacting instinctively, "No, we must leave Lin City, this place of trouble, as soon as possible. Chen Fan might even retaliate against us!"
Thinking of this, the four once infinitely glorious old men fled Lin City in disgrace.
Lin City became their lifelong nightmare and shame!
However, they miscalculated one thing: if Chen Fan had intended to kill them, he wouldn't have left them in the trash heap!
Truthfully, Chen Fan had not been completely ruthless towards the Shangguan family.
Had he been, a single phone call could have sent Dark Night to overthrow the entire Shangguan family.
To be honest, the Shangguan family was indeed a terrifying existence for ordinary families.
But for Chen Fan, they were simply not worth mentioning.
...
Shangguan Feilong and the others returned to the capital city at their fastest pace.
Upon returning to the family estate.
The old family patriarch almost died of anger upon hearing about their ordeal.
Shangguan Qingfeng had painstakingly managed the family for a lifetime, yet his useless son had ruined everything in a single day.
"Useless waste!"
"Useless waste!"
"Shangguan Qingfeng, how could I have raised such a useless creature like you?"
Shangguan Qingfeng's old face contorted, and he wielded a leather belt, fiercely lashing Shangguan Feilong.
Despite his existing injuries, Shangguan Qingfeng showed no restraint, striking with all his might, as if beating livestock.
"Bastard!"
Shangguan Feilong curled up on the ground, and no one dared to step forward to beg for mercy.
Shangguan Qingfeng roared, "I was truly blind back then to choose you as the Shangguan family head!"
"Father... I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore!"
"I truly know I was wrong!"
"You know you were wrong?" Shangguan Qingfeng bellowed, "But do you know that our Shangguan family will lose the next twenty years? We will directly drop out of the second-tier families in the capital!"
"What's the use of you admitting you were wrong?"
*Slap, slap!*
*Bang, bang, bang... Crackle!*
The beating was exceptionally brutal...
For the members of the Shangguan family, this day's battle was undoubtedly a devastating loss, causing the Shangguan family to plummet from a second-tier family to a third-tier one.
"I..."
Shangguan Feilong, already severely injured, collapsed into unconsciousness after another round of beating.
Only then did Shangguan Qingfeng stop, his old face twisted, breathing heavily, trying to calm himself and suppress his rage, *huff, huff...*
"All of you, get out!"
"I need to calm down!"
All members of the Shangguan family obeyed the order and retreated.
As for Shangguan Qingfeng, his body slumped, and he fell heavily onto the ground!
