"Excessive?"

Seeing Xu Fan looking at him, Hong Zitao couldn't help but laugh.

From the figure dressed in the loose school uniform, he was reminded of a saying.

Young calves are not afraid of tigers.

Young people like this, at eighteen, typically love to do foolish things for their beloved, acting rashly out of anger and righteousness.

With bravery alone, they fail to realize how grave the consequences could be if they cross someone out of their league.

Hong Zitao felt somewhat sorry that this little loser would soon be beaten to a pulp by his assistant. In a teasing manner, he looked at Xu Fan and said with a smile, "Kid, you said I was excessive. Let me ask you, do you even know what the entertainment industry is? Do you understand what an actor is?"

"If you don't have the heart to devote yourself to the craft, what right do you have to mingle in this circle? Right now, I'm just asking her to dress a bit more sensually and perform a scene with me, that's all. Is that excessive?"

"Do you have any idea that overseas, many accomplished actors like me are willing to appear nude on camera for the sake of art?"

Hong Zitao spoke with righteous indignation, as if everything he was doing was for the great cause of the entertainment industry, to unearth a new star.

Having said his piece, he laughed disdainfully, "Clearly, someone like you, who hasn't even finished high school, wouldn't understand."

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Fan and Guan Shimeng knew each other, Hong Zitao reckoned he wouldn't bother to exchange a word with such a bookish loser.

After explaining his intention, he looked earnestly at Guan Shimeng.

"Guan Shimeng, there might be some misunderstandings between us, but I believe that through further interaction, all of these will be resolved."

"Besides, I must remind you that there's no need to waste your time on people who aren't worth it. You have immense potential, you know?"

"Think about it, once you become famous in the future, would you be happy if some little losers pestered you?"

"Mind your own business!"

Obviously, Hong Zitao's contemptuous remarks were aimed at Xu Fan. Guan Shimeng couldn't help feeling angry and, gathering her courage, glared fiercely at Hong Zitao.

She didn't care what Xu Fan was; even if he were a little beggar, it wouldn't matter to her.

Because she knew that this seemingly smooth-talking rascal was sincerely good to her.

"Ungrateful..."

His well-meaning advice had only angered Guan Shimeng, and Hong Zitao couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Xu Fan, watching all this, couldn't help but find it amusing. He guessed Hong Zitao felt no better than if he had swallowed excrement.

Taking a glance at Guan Shimeng, he was touched by how the ordinarily shy girl had the courage to stand up for him.

"Hmm..."

Noticing the provocative lingerie thrown on the ground, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Hmm, actually, all that about devoting oneself to the performing arts, that lofty talk, I kind of agree with it."

"Why don't you put on this outfit now and show me, with your two assistants, what it means to devote oneself to the entertainment industry?"

This guy was obviously just taking advantage of Guan Shimeng's attractiveness to cop a feel, now brazenly dressing up his sleazy intentions with noble-sounding words. Xu Fan really felt disgusted.

Since he felt revolting to Xu Fan, he wouldn't mind returning the favor.

"What the hell did you say?"

Hong Zitao's patience was already wearing thin, and seeing that Xu Fan dared to mock him, his entire face turned dark with anger.

"I fucking told you to shut up!"

Guan Shimeng was someone he was reluctant to hit, but for this little loser, he had no intention of showing mercy. Charging forward, he raised his hand, ready to give Xu Fan a thorough lesson!

The big palm was raised, and Hong Zitao used all the strength he could muster, lashing out towards Xu Fan's face!

Although Hong Zitao had no formal training, his experience acting in fight scenes had led him to seek advice from various martial arts instructors. Now, as he swung his hand, a gust of wind arose, blowing Xu Fan's hair to one side.

Just as the palm was about to hit his face, Xu Fan snorted softly. His foot shot out like lightning, managing to hit Hong Zitao's stomach first despite being the latter to move.

Worried about kicking the youngster to death, Xu Fan not only refrained from using inner strength, he didn't even apply one percent of his power.

Yet, his control over his power was such that the kick sent Hong Zitao tumbling out like a rolling gourd.

"Who told you I was talking nonsense?"

Hong Zitao rolled several meters before finally coming to a stop in a sorry state, just as Xu Fan's indifferent voice resounded.

The bearded director and his crew, as well as several assistants, now looked towards Xu Fan with unceasing alarm.

Hong Zitao, over one meter eighty and fit from regular gym workouts and occasional stints in martial arts films, was not someone an average person could kick so far.

But now, Xu Fan had kicked him away as if he were a ball, making everyone's scalps tingle subconsciously.

This guy must be as strong as an ox, right, with such immense strength?

"Are you fucking idiots? Why aren't you grabbing this brat for me!"

It took a while for the bearded director to snap out of his shock.

Hong Zitao was the lead actor in his next film, and now he was rolling on the ground, almost vomiting bile. Naturally, the director was the most distressed.

If they couldn't continue shooting the film because of this, it would be a huge loss for him.

Agitated, he immediately barked orders at Hong Zitao's several assistants.

The two assistants were quick to react. If they didn't teach Xu Fan a severe lesson now, given Hong Zitao's explosive temper, they might be fired in retaliation later.

In perfect understanding, they charged towards Xu Fan.

Unlike Hong Zitao, both had some training, evident from their speed and their footwork.

They coordinated well, aiming for Xu Fan's vulnerable points swiftly.

Xu Fan frowned. If he had been an ordinary high school student, their ferocious tactics would probably have been the end of him!

"Hmph…"

As their fists came at him, Xu Fan clenched his own fists and met their force head-on!

Such a fist-to-fist clash was a test of sheer power and strike resistance. The two assistants were elite trained by a bodyguard company; why would they fear competing in such a manner against a high school student?

They laughed coldly, putting more strength into their strikes as they faced Xu Fan head-on!

Bang! Four fists collided with raw force!

The expressions on the two assistants' faces froze in that instant, completely stiffened.

They felt an explosive force unleash from the opponent's fist, striking their bare knuckles hard!

Crackling, snapping sounds echoed through the spacious presidential suite as Xu Fan exerted his force, shattering their resolve and causing both of their arms to fracture!
