More than a dozen figures attacked simultaneously. They refused to believe that Chen Fan could still have three heads and six arms under such circumstances…
They were stunned again!
A protective aura formed around Chen Fan, preventing the dozen of them from getting any closer!
Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. As he released his power, everyone immediately fell to the ground.
Each of them clutched their rear ends and moaned in pain, but their eyes held genuine respect for Chen Fan.
"Alright."
Yin Ping walked out from behind the crowd with a smile. "Are you all convinced now?"
They were all young men who could accept defeat. As soon as Yin Ping finished speaking, they immediately responded with raised fists, "Convinced, convinced! This is our Sect Master!"
Yin Ping smiled and pointed at them. "You guys just have itchy feet. You only learn your lesson after a beating."
"Did you all remember the flaws the Sect Master pointed out? Go back and practice, and correct them!"
The crowd below responded in unison.
Yin Ping nodded and walked to Chen Fan's side.
"I just received news that the Maas family is hosting a banquet outside the city tomorrow night."
The Maas family?
Chen Fan was no stranger to this name, having heard of it not long ago during the Luo Men's assessment.
He nodded. "Any details?"
"It's for the Maas family head, Chris's, sixtieth birthday. Invitations have been sent to all the major powers in Europa."
"No Dark Fox?"
Yin Ping chuckled wryly. "Everyone knows we're at odds with the Temple. Their five great families are on good terms with the Temple. If they were to send us an invitation, wouldn't that be openly offending the Temple?"
As Yin Ping explained, he led Chen Fan into the study.
"Do you need me to get an invitation for you?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Luo Sheng.
The call was answered immediately.
"Brother Fan?"
"The Maas family's banquet, did Luo Men receive an invitation?"
Luo Sheng was taken aback. "Brother Fan, you're a genius! I just got it!"
"Are you perhaps in Dark Fox, but your heart is with Luo Men? Even now, you haven't forgotten to cast a divination for me?"
Chen Fan was speechless.
Even after ascending to that position, he was still the same noisy person.
"Alright, I was just asking."
Chen Fan shook his head helplessly. "Send me the time and address later. I'll go with you."
With that, Chen Fan hung up.
Yin Ping sat to the side, having heard their conversation. He frowned and looked at Chen Fan. "What does the Maas family mean by this?"
He clearly remembered that there were members of the Maas family present at the Luo Men assessment that day.
They should know about the unpleasantness between Luo Men and Sheng Qi.
Chen Fan smiled and nodded. "It seems that these five great families are more eager to break free from these shackles than we imagined."
Yin Ping's eyes flickered with a hint of brightness at his words.
Yes.
The Maas steward had been present that day and had seen everything clearly.
Despite knowing the close relationship between Luo Men and Dark Fox, they still sent out this invitation. It was likely a form of testing them.
"Should I accompany you that day?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "Many people recognize you. I can go alone."
At the same time, Luo Sheng's text message arrived.
【Tomorrow night at seven o'clock, Maas Mansion.】
Chen Fan glanced at it, put his phone back into his pocket, and stood up. "Get some rest early. Tomorrow, I'll go to Luo Men earlier to meet up with him, and we'll go together."
The next day.
Chen Fan returned to Luo Men.
Luo Sheng had been looking forward to Chen Fan accompanying him since he heard the news.
Before Chen Fan even arrived, he was already standing at the entrance, eagerly awaiting him.
Luo Yi and Luo Er were also by his side.
"Brother Fan!"
Luo Sheng's face lit up with joy as he waved at Chen Fan. "Long time no see—" As he spoke, he moved to give Chen Fan a hug, but…
Chen Fan pushed him away with a look of disgust. "Don't imitate Yin Ping."
"I saw you yesterday."
Alright.
Luo Sheng pouted and handed the invitation in his hand to Chen Fan. "From Luo Men, it's about an hour's journey. We're just in time to leave now."
Chen Fan nodded and followed him into the car.
Luo Yi and Luo Er sat in the driver's and front passenger seats respectively. Ever since Chen Fan had appeared, they had not dared to meet his gaze.
Ever since they learned of Chen Fan's true identity, both of them felt immense pressure.
Chen Fan understood and did not force the issue.
The car drove smoothly on the roads of Europa. Ever since Luo Men had absorbed half of the forces of the Victorious Party, their gang empire had grown to the point where they could swagger through Europa without worrying about any reckless forces suddenly emerging to challenge them.
And Luo Men, having merged the East and West districts, now had the qualifications to sit at the conference table with the five great families and compete with them.
Luo Sheng sat in the back, tidying his collar like a peacock displaying its feathers.
Chen Fan glanced at him impatiently. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were going on a blind date."
Luo Sheng shot him a look. "Isn't this my first time attending such an event? I need to pay attention to my image?"
Chen Fan immediately gave up on arguing with him and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes.
An hour later.
The car slowly drove into the venue for the night—Maas Mansion.
Maas Mansion was brightly lit, with luxury cars lining the entrance.
Even before entering the venue, Chen Fan could feel the opulence. The Maas family's financial strength was evident from this.
Indeed, as Yin Ping had said, it was a top-tier banquet in Europa.
