"Chu Mengyao, are you really that impressive?" The voice was laced with sarcasm, spoken by Ma Qianqiu in disdain. Behind him were several people, including Ma Junqing, who had sided with Huang Feipeng the time Ye Fan drove and stripped Huang Feipeng of his car god title, deliberately causing trouble for Ye Fan.

The people around Ma Qianqiu, including Ma Junqing, all lagged behind him, signifying the status of a Northwest magnate.

This dominant figure in the Northwest, the pilot of the Ma Family, is an unshakable colossus. However, the rise of the Chu Group has snatched the top spot on the Ma Family's wealth list, making the Ma Family grit their teeth in hatred.

Don't be fooled by a petty ranking; it involves political favoritism and affects the Ma Family's status and honor. How could the Ma Family not hate the Chu Group?

In terms of corporate development, they cannot surpass the Chu Group. Thus, the Ma Family is resolved to use all means to reclaim what originally belonged to them.

This is also why, during secret talks with Li Chenggui, Ma Qianqiu and others made considerable sacrifices and concessions, not wanting any benefits at all, instead boasting to lead the charge against the Chu Group—all to maintain the Ma Family's status.

"Ah, it's Ma Qianqiu, the pilot of the Ma Family." Chu Mengyao was indifferent to Ma Qianqiu's sarcastic remarks and said nonchalantly, "When it comes to being impressive, who can compare to the Ma Family."

These words struck Ma Qianqiu as the ultimate humiliation—Chu Group sitting on the Ma Family's throne, dethroning them—and to Ma Qianqiu, Chu Mengyao's words were blatant boasting.

"Chu Mengyao, as a woman, you'd better be sensible. We can disregard you as the top woman outside our circle because your small circle has no place in our eyes. But now the Chu Group wants to join us; that's suicide." Ma Qianqiu said with a malicious gaze, "Just a mere Chu Family, newly risen, if we talk about heritage and talent reserves, the Chu Group is no match for us. Yet you dare stand among our five great families. Do you know what your behavior is like? It's like a little lamb sharing a mountain with five big tigers. Surely, you understand your end without me having to elaborate. People should have self-awareness; if you're wise, you should know what to do."

Ma Qianqiu was arrogant and domineering, not hiding his hostility in the slightest.

"If the Chu Group is that little lamb, isn't your Ma Family even lower? As for financial power, even three Ma Families combined aren't a match for the Chu Group. How dare you boast here?" Chu Mengyao retorted unceremoniously, "I was polite to you earlier out of respect for you being an elder in the business world. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to show you a friendly face. What do you think you are, barking without regard in front of me, truly disrespectful and conceited."

"Alright, alright, alright, Chu Mengyao, you really are fearless like a newborn calf, daring to boast shamelessly." Ma Qianqiu was directly infuriated, glaring at Chu Mengyao, "You might be arrogant for a moment, but there will be tears when the Chu Group is destroyed, which will be your demise. How dare you, a young girl, defy me? You truly don't know life from death."

"Old thing, dare to utter one more insolent word, I'll break your legs, believe it or not." Ye Fan stood by Mengyao and spoke coldly.

Ye Fan couldn't hold back. Attending the party, it was better not to cause trouble to avoid embarrassment. But Ma Qianqiu's audacity really irked him, and with him speaking of Mengyao, he had to show some stance.

Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi were also eager to move. With just a word from Ye Fan, they even have the thought of committing murder.

"Who the hell are you? I'm talking to Chu Mengyao, what does that..." Ma Qianqiu began to scold Ye Fan, but halfway through his unabashed sentence, his face turned liver-colored, alternating between green and purple. As his lips quivered, his body trembled, hastily stepping back two paces, even stepping on the foot of the secretary behind him without noticing.

His attention was entirely on Chu Mengyao. The three people beside Chu Mengyao were not even worth a glance from him.

But seeing Ye Fan's true face now, he was immediately struck with terror, filled with the utmost fear.

Being one of the Northwest magnates, he certainly knew of Ye Fan's identity—the mastermind behind Ye Gang. In Ba Country, he awed the Wanpu Company, Taimei Company, and Wanlida, forcing them into disgraced defeat and earning a formidable reputation by helping Kasam of Ba Country defeat Farhadi's coup. All these actions were led by this man.

Especially since there were reliable sources that Ye Fan often resorted to physical violence, not caring who he was hitting. There was a sense of recklessness and disregard for others. This description was not derogatory but a statement of Ye Fan's domineering image.

In private, many have already started using the term 'god of death' to describe Ye Fan's fearsome nature.

Ma Qianqiu had never imagined encountering Ye Fan. He wondered in his heart, "Wasn't he not invited on the invitation list? How did this god of death come?"

"According to reliable information, Chu Mengyao's success is largely due to the man behind her. Clearly, the intel was inaccurate. His relationship with Chu Mengyao seems incredibly complex." Ma Qianqiu thought quickly.

Ma Qianqiu naturally feared Ye Fan because Ye Fan was formidable in fights. Of course, in a real fight, he admitted he couldn't handle Ye Fan, but if struck from the shadows, it might be a different story. Hence, Ma Qianqiu slowly suppressed his inner fear.

"We'll see about that." After throwing this remark, Ma Qianqiu turned around and left.

Ye Fan and Mengyao departed, no longer bothered by the trouble Ma Qianqiu brought.

"Father, why do you fear him?" Ma Junqing asked in confusion. Earlier, he had recognized Ye Fan's identity, but knew him just as Xu Qianqian's distant relative. Yet his father's reaction filled him with doubt.

Moreover, Ma Junqing was puzzled about how Ye Fan could possibly qualify to be with Chu Mengyao.

Several close associates beside Ma Qianqiu remained silent, having noticed their boss's fear and dared not speak recklessly. Nevertheless, a voice lingered in their minds, "The boss is a dignified Northwest magnate; how could he fear a man? That man is merely a follower by Chu Mengyao's side."

"Son, remember what that man looks like. Avoid him in the future, for he is a god of death who murders without a second thought." Ma Qianqiu advised.

"What?" Ma Junqing nearly bit his tongue.
