Going against the entire Shanghai's forces, the boss really couldn't think of anything more presumptuous...

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's about time for a change in Shanghai. It's time for the old guard to retire and enjoy their latter years. Now, it's the young people's turn to take the stage."

The reason Xu Fan offered such an attractive share of twenty percent was simple.

He intended to take over all the venues in Shanghai.

With a twenty percent share, he believed that after tonight, without even making a move, many entertainment venues would come to discuss cooperation with him.

"What do you think? Boss, have you made up your mind?"

At this moment, Xu Fan asked.

The boss shook his head with a wry smile, "No, I can't agree to your terms."

"Hehe..."

Xu Fan chuckled. He wasn't surprised by the boss's response.

He glanced at the boss and said, "You've been willing to talk with me for so long, I believe, just to buy time so that Ke Longxiang's people can hurry over, right?"

"This..."

Just as Xu Fan had guessed, this was indeed what the boss was thinking at the moment.

Just this amount of force wasn't enough to make him loyally follow Xu Fan. The boss was already past the age of acting on impulse.

Being with Ke Longxiang, although the earnings were less, it was at least very safe for the time being, as far as he could see.

Now that his thoughts had been seen through by Xu Fan, the boss's face tensed up, fearing that Xu Fan would get angry because of it.

Xu Fan observed his reaction and smiled, "Boss, don't worry. I already said, I came here for business this time."

The boss didn't even need to notify them personally. Just the people outside would inform Ke Longxiang's side to come to the rescue.

Xu Fan had guessed this before he even entered.

However, he needed a target to establish his authority tonight, hence Xu Fan never stopped them.

Having stood up, Xu Fan smiled and said, "As for holding down the fort, if I can't subdue the previous crowd, I, Xu Fan, would have no face to take on this job."

"So..."

As Xu Fan spoke, he touched the tea that he had just poured for himself.

The tea was still warm. Xu Fan looked at the boss and said, "This cup of tea, we can drink it together when we talk business later."

After that, Xu Fan turned and left the office directly.

At this time, the boss who was sitting at the office desk couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For some reason, he actually felt a bit of anticipation. After all, the conditions that the guy proposed were quite tempting.

...

By the time Xu Fan walked back to the dance hall, the once noisy music had already stopped. The crowd that was just watching the commotion had dissipated quite a bit, leaving behind only those whose love for spectacle exceeded everything else waiting on the sidelines.

A group of people had appeared near the dance floor. The few security guards who had been fortunate enough to evade Xu Fan's hand were stationed by their side. As soon as they saw Xu Fan emerge, they pointed at him and started whispering instructions.

The muscular man leading them suddenly had his complexion darken after hearing the explanation, and the scar on his right forehead seemed particularly ferocious.

He didn't waste any words. The moment his icy gaze landed on Xu Fan, he simply uttered five short words.

"Chop him up for the dogs."

As his voice fell, seven figures who had been waiting on standby flashed into action, covering ground in a few quick strides as if flying just above the ground! They lunged straight for Xu Fan!

Their speed was so astonishing that onlookers could only gape in amazement!

By the time the surrounding young men and women came to their senses, the seven had already surrounded Xu Fan so tightly that not even water could leak through!

Upon receiving the command, the seven acted decisively, pulling out the blades they had hidden on them and slashing straight at Xu Fan!

Truly skilled fighters! Each one a Neijia master, combined with seamless collaboration in their siege! It was unclear from where Ke Longxiang had managed to summon such a troop of experts.

Their movements were coordinated and balanced between offense and defense, the teamwork of the seven men was in a totally different league compared to the thugs in the bar earlier.

Xu Fan was currently exchanging blows with them, and quickly realized the subtleties involved.

Their offense and defense subtly conformed to the principles of formation tactics!

In Huaxia, formations were not considered anything special, and if Xu Fan wasn't wrong, the group before him seemed to be using the Tiangan Big Dipper Formation.

The formation was arranged according to the positions of the Big Dipper's seven stars; seven practitioners could set up the formation, with four acting as the "Dipper" and three forming the "Handle," working together to counter enemies!

During combat, practitioners could leverage the strength of their comrades next to them, who in turn could draw upon the force of others, creating a chain effect as if one person possessed the power of many!

This meant that the stronger the practitioners, the more potent the formation became!

All seven had reached the Neijia Realm, uniting their power. Even a master of the Innate Realm would find it hard to deal with this formation easily.

In their previous exchanges, Xu Fan had already been caught within the seven's Big Dipper Tiangang Formation, and now they were using stillness to counteract movement. He struck at the head and the tail would respond, stricken the tail and the head would respond, strike at the waist and both would react, trapping Xu Fan firmly within the formation.

The leader of these masters now looked down at Xu Fan with disdain and sneered, "Kid, even if you were a master of the Innate Realm, you'd still end up crippled within this formation today!"

His words were arrogant, but he had the talent to back up his arrogance.

Having only just broken through to the Innate Realm, if Xu Fan wasn't familiar with formations, he might really get trapped by this formation these seven had set.

Xu Fan snorted coldly at this point, his figure flashed, and he directly lunged towards one person in the formation!

The complacent seven watching Xu Fan's offensive suddenly went pale with fright, hurrying to counter the attack!

Facing Xu Fan's current offensive, they didn't dare show the slightest negligence, knowing that Xu Fan was targeting the very Formation Eye of the Big Dipper Tiangang Formation!

This guy, isn't his luck just too good?

United, the seven resisted Zhang Yang's onslaught, immediately breaking out into a sweat.

You should know that the Big Dipper Tiangang Formation is comprised of Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, and Tian Quan as the four "Dipper" members; with Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang forming the "Handle."

Within this formation, Tian Quan's position was the dimmest, sitting at the pivotal intersection of the dipper's handle, making it critical and therefore held by the strongest among the seven.

However, compared to Xu Fan, it wasn't on the same level at all. If Xu Fan were to erupt and destroy the Tian Quan position, the Tiangan Big Dipper Formation would fall apart without warning.

After that, the remaining six would be as easy to deal with as children for him!

Luckily, the seven reacted promptly, and, due to the increased power brought by the formation's cohesion, Xu Fan's initial attack was ineffective.

Having safeguarded Tian Quan, the seven couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Humph, boy, so you understand formations? But even so, you'll still kneel before us seven!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, considering that these folks, exhausted as dogs, couldn't possibly believe that his recent movements were aimed at breaking the formation.

"Hehe, naivety comes with a price!"

Having said that, Xu Fan once again sprang into action.
