"Pfft."
Feng Huang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she sat beside Xu Fan.
This guy...
He was the only one who could say such things without blushing or skipping a beat.
Apart from the black suit he wore being damaged, could anyone see the slightest injury on Green Rakshasa's body?
The word "injured" seemed more fitting for the group from the Lu Family who were bullying the less numerous.
The expert they had brought with great expectations was now laying on the ground in various positions, having completely lost their ability to fight.
This banquet, which had turned into a trap, was declared a failure.
Lu Tianyou's face turned ashen as he picked up the list that Xu Fan had handed over; upon seeing the items listed, his expression grew even uglier.
"Xu Fan, young brother, aren't these demands a bit too excessive?"
Lu Tianyou looked over at Xu Fan, holding his breath and forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart.
The items Xu Fan had listed were the Unique Grade medicinal materials that the Lu Family had painstakingly collected over the years.
Whichever one it was, the Lu Family had expended a lot of financial and emotional resources to acquire it.
To want them all with just a piece of paper, wasn't that the epitome of being excessive?
"Oh? Too excessive?"
Xu Fan looked indifferently at the Lu Family members and scoffed, "Wasn't it excessively arrogant when you just now wanted my life, Xu Fan?"
If he had lost, would the Lu Family even discuss being excessive with him?
"Whose dog the Lu Family chooses to be is of no interest to me, but I want to see all the medicinal materials on this list within half an hour."
With just a short sentence, his words were succinct and forceful, exuding a strong air of authority that allowed no disobedience.
The Lu Family members felt a chill at his words.
It was hard to imagine that such an aura could be hidden within this young man.
Handing over all the Lu Family's cherished medicines was not a matter of negotiation; there was simply no room for refusal.
If they did not comply, Lu Tianyou feared Xu Fan might have his men do unto him what had just been done to them, turnabout fair play.
Lu Tianyou started to smile bitterly.
He realized he had really grown old; he had thought Xu Fan was merely a youth with an inflated reputation.
Only after meeting him today did he understand how blurred his own vision had become.
"Someone, fetch all the medicinal materials on this list."
With a long sigh, Lu Tianyou chose to compromise.
"Grandfather! No, this is not right!"
As he saw his grandfather passing the list to a trusted subordinate, Lu Jun couldn't help but roar!
What they were giving away was not just the Lu Family's treasured collection, but also the entire family's dignity!
"This guy is clearly robbing us, Grandfather…"
Slap!
Before Lu Jun could fully explain the situation to Lu Tianyou, Lu Tianyou's face turned an iron blue, and standing up firmly, he slapped Lu Jun across the face!
"When the adults are speaking, keep your mouth shut!"
"Sit down!"
After glaring at Lu Jun and forcing him to sit down, Lu Tianyou lowered his gaze.
As the Clan Leader of the Lu Family, did he need guidance from a junior like Lu Jun? Did he not know this already?
But what choice did he have now?
Even if he fought to the death, Xu Fan could still take them away.
All of this, he had brought upon himself.
After Lu Tianyou issued his orders, it wasn't long before several servants walked into the private room, carrying boxes in their hands.
Now, following Lu Tianyou's instructions, they placed dozens of wooden boxes of various sizes on the round table.
The members of the Lu Family looked at the wooden boxes on the table, feeling a stab of pain.
The medicine materials inside these wooden boxes, several of which were the last existing in all of Huaxia, had once been the pride of the Lu Family. But now they were to be handed over to another, how tragic was that?
"The items you requested are all here, please take a look."
Sending off these treasures was purely a predicament of his own making. Lu Tianyou comforted himself for a moment before he turned his gaze to Xu Fan.
His only hope now was that Xu Fan, after obtaining these medicine materials, would calm the situation and not create further trouble.
Each of the dozens of wooden boxes was finely carved, a marvel of craftsmanship.
Even before the boxes were opened, a rich fragrance of medicinal herbs already filled the room, invigorating those who smelled it!
A subtle golden light flickered in Xu Fan's right pupil as he surveyed each of the wooden boxes laid out on the table.
Through the exquisite wooden boxes, his eyes could see the precious medicinal materials lying inside.
Indeed, the contents were exactly the same as the ones he had listed on the inventory.
With these materials, plus the ones Han Dongxu had previously collected for him, he now had all the ingredients needed to concoct the Blood Calling Gu.
Under Xu Fan's mental command, Green Rakshasa came forward and picked up the dozens of wooden boxes.
"I'm grateful for Clan Leader Lu's generous gift."
Now that he had acquired the materials to concoct the Blood Calling Gu, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Xu Fan stood up, ready to leave with Feng Huang in tow.
"Stop!"
Before Xu Fan could step out of the private room, an icy voice from Lu Jun rang out behind him.
Tonight, just in terms of self-interest, he was the one who had suffered the most.
With Ye Cheng dead, his unofficially designated position as the next Clan Leader of the Lu Family would likely need to be reconsidered before long.
Seeing Xu Fan turn to look at him, Lu Jun clenched his fists, his eyes red with anger, and he gritted his teeth, "Xu Fan, fortunes can change in thirty years, don't think you can always have it your way!"
"Having offended the Ye Family, one day you will face retribution!"
How immense was the power of the Ye Family? Today, Xu Fan stepped on his Lu Family, but one day, the Ye Family would surely make Xu Fan pay back double!
When that time came, he would definitely make Xu Fan pay with blood for blood!
The roaring of Lu Jun couldn't help but make the other Lu Family members in the room raise their heads.
In their eyes, hope emerged once again.
Indeed, one should not provoke the master when beating a dog. The act of Xu Fan today was definitely going to invite punishment from the Ye Family!
Xu Fan did not show much emotional fluctuation in response to this.
He swept his eyes lightly over everyone, his upper lip touching his lower, and uttered, "Oh."
"Let's go, let's go home."
With a single 'oh', Xu Fan, arm in arm with Feng Huang, no longer paid any attention to the Lu Family members. Under the escort of Green Rakshasa, they left the private room directly.
"That guy! So arrogant!"
"Clan Leader! We cannot let this matter rest as it is!"
As Xu Fan disappeared outside the private room, several senior Lu Family members inside could not help but curse loudly.
The words they dared not speak earlier due to the intangible pressure of Green Rakshasa all came spilling out now.
Lu Tianyou did not respond to the complaints of his clan members with a single word.
He withdrew his gaze, sitting blankly in front of the round table, merely remembering the 'oh' pronounced by Xu Fan just now.
Just that one word, yet it also displayed the young man's confidence.
Even under the grand reputation of the Ye Family of Hong Kong Island, he remained unruffled, unmoved.
In that moment, Lu Tianyou discovered that he could not quite read Xu Fan anymore.
This time, his firm support for the Lu Family—had he been mistaken?
