Li Yang and the five young masters were shocked silly; even in their wildest dreams, they wouldn't have imagined that the man who established the Ye Gang by crushing the Fierce Tiger Gang with a single stomp—the current mysterious leader of Ye Gang known for being as elusive as a dragon—was right before their eyes. And to think they had underestimated him so much filled them with involuntary fear and trepidation.

Without the protection of their families, the identity of the five young masters meant nothing in front of Ye Fan. Yet, they greatly admired what Ye Fan had done, once even idolizing him.

This left their hearts complex in such psychological circumstances.

Setting aside idol worship, just Ye Fan's authority alone is not something they could provoke.

Trying to challenge Ye Fan would be akin to a mouse putting itself in front of a cat, a path seeking death.

Just thinking about it left them frightened and shivering.

"No wonder father calls him the God of Death, so that's why," Ma Junqing wiped his cold sweat.

"No wonder our elders dared not be careless when dealing with the Chu Group and planned meticulously. It turns out, Ye Fan's prestige alone cannot be ignored. He is truly a formidable person," Chen Xiangsheng said with lingering fear, no longer showing any arrogance.

"No wonder Sister Dao respects him so much; turns out he's the legendary mentor of Sister Dao," Zheng Junxian's spine tingled with chills.

"No wonder he can do whatever he pleases in Biao Bro's territory; turns out he has such an identity," Huang Feipeng was dumbfounded.

"Who would have thought, the person we once looked down upon was the real leader behind Ye Gang," Li Yang marveled fearfully. "If Uncle Wu hadn't warned us, we truly would have poked a hornet's nest."

The five young masters sighed for a moment before finally snapping out of their shock and stupor.

"Ultimately, our vision was too shallow, just admiring the underground power like Ye Gang. We should view the situation from the perspective of our elders. In that case, a small Ye Gang is nothing; Ye Gang just has influence in Dongfang City, while we have unshakable support in other regions of the Northwest," Chen Xiangsheng said calmly. "Dongfang City is a special place—being the capital of Huaxia Country and the headquarters of our Five Families, Ye Gang may have some energy here, but outside of Dongfang City, they're just lambs crossing a river, not worth mentioning."

"Indeed, our nightlife mostly revolves around Ye Gang's venues, which causes us to exaggerate our understanding of Ye Gang," Zheng Junxian said indifferently. "Ye Gang really isn't that scary."

"When our parents join forces against the Chu Group, Ye Gang will be destroyed. If Ye Fan and Qiu Wen are smart, they'll side with us; otherwise, they'll face certain death," Ma Junqing suppressed his inner fear.

"Haha, even ants cherish life; humans are no exception. I dare say, when the time comes, Ye Fan will certainly lead his gang to surrender. What then of Ye Gang's shadowy leader? He'll just be a servant of our Five Families," Huang Feipeng laughed smugly.

The five young masters engaged in a lofty conversation; if they knew Ye Fan had merged with Poisonous Spider and established the indomitable Wild Alliance Security Company in Ba Country, they might not hold such opinions.

"Li Shao, I've heard Ye Fan is quite skilled in combat. How many moves do you think he can withstand against Uncle Wu?" Zheng Junxian eyed Li Yang.

Chen Xiangsheng and others also looked at Li Yang, wanting to know the answer. Uncle Wu's prowess was unparalleled in the Northwest except for the colossus of the Li Family.

"Within three moves, he'll undoubtedly be severely injured," Li Yang said confidently, holding Uncle Wu's combat strength in high regard.

"I think Li Shao is overestimating Ye Fan; I doubt he could withstand even one move from Uncle Wu," Zheng Junxian scoffed.

"Once the Li Family sends their assassin, they will sweep across undefeated. Ye Gang, Ye Fan, and Sister Dao will have no chance to fight back," Ma Junqing said solemnly.

Huang Feipeng asserted, "Uncle Wu alone can resolve all difficulties, let alone the presence within the Li Family."

"Let's not veer off topic," Li Yang warned.

Chen Xiangsheng and the others promptly shut up; the existence within the Li Family was taboo, even for them to discuss.

The five young masters, true to their lineage from the Five Families, regained confidence after digesting the shock from Ye Fan's identity as the leader behind Ye Gang. Psychologically, they once again placed themselves above Ye Fan, though they didn't dare provoke him, lacking the courage.

Guests near the five young masters began to gossip.

"I wonder what the five young masters are discussing, so secretively, even using binoculars to look around."

"You just don't understand; the five young masters are enjoying the grandeur and luxury of the banquet. Look around; the view is filled with business elites, celebrities, and well-known ladies gathered together. From a distance, how could you tell who is who?"

"Indeed, the five young masters really know how to play. Not roaming around, sitting still and using binoculars to capture the vast banquet scene completely."

"The five young masters are not playing; using binoculars, they're seeking the face of the Li Family."

"Today, I've learned; the Li Family's face is indeed large, stretching beyond sight."

Some people speculated this way.

Uncle Wu returned to the side of the pilots of the Five Families, detailing what happened earlier.

"Luckily, I anticipated it—afraid these young brats accustomed to arrogance might stir trouble. So, I took precaution; otherwise, we would already be making a fool of ourselves, and the embarrassment would land on the Li Family," Li Chenggui sighed.

"Brother Li, now what should we do? Should we invite Chu Mengyao here? We've ignored her for so long; not only will people complain about the Li Family's poor hospitality, but more importantly, if Chu Mengyao loses patience and leaves, it will cause complications, contrary to our plans," Ma Qianqiu suggested.

"We've already thrown down the gauntlet; it's time to lay the cards on the table," others agreed with Ma Qianqiu.

"Who will go to invite Chu Mengyao?" Li Chenggui's gaze was profound.

"This?" Ma Qianqiu, Huang Jingwei, Zheng Guodong, and Chen Tiande's expressions darkened, not knowing what to say.

They aimed to humiliate Chu Mengyao, but going to meet her so late, if Chu Mengyao was angry, they'd have no face left.

If they were in Chu Mengyao's position, they'd have lost their temper long ago; how could there be such good temperament?
