Xie Tianlong took a deep breath, prepared himself, and then pushed open the door, entering the private room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to keep you waiting."

Having already grasped the situation inside the private room from the surveillance room, Xie Tianlong greeted everyone as he walked straight towards Old Li.

"Old Li, I apologize for being late, I had some matters to attend to."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Old Li with a smile, Xie Tianlong finally sat down.

Immediately, he turned his gaze toward Xu Fan.

It seemed that a spark had flown between the two with their movements under the table, as one could see Feng Huang's face blush a bit.

"If you're uncomfortable, you can go wash your face in the restroom."

Seeing Xu Fan reluctantly send Feng Huang away, Xie Tianlong didn't make much of it.

Just a vase meant to be played with by men.

"Mr. Xu Fan, I've long admired your reputation."

After Feng Huang left the private room, Xie Tianlong started to greet Xu Fan.

At the same time, he began to think about how to provoke a conflict with Xu fan and then take the opportunity to leave.

"I'm flattered, Old Li, who is this?"

Xu Fan squinted his eyes and sized up the other person, then turned his gaze back to Old Li.

Old Li smiled slightly and explained, "This is a prominent figure of the Ye Family, the chief steward of the Ye Family, Xie Tianlong."

Indeed, as Old Li had said, Xie Tianlong had been with the Ye Family Head since he was young, loyally serving the Ye Family all the way to the present.

Decades of service, and without any exaggeration, his status was second only to the Ye Family Head.

Some branches of the Ye Family, seeing him, would all nod and bow.

"Oh, I see."

At this moment, Xu Fan nodded as if he understood and then said, "But don't you find it interesting, Old Li?"

"Hmm?"

Xu Fan looked at Old Li, who appeared confused, and smiled, "The three young masters of the Ye Family, one was castrated by me, two were killed, and Mr. Ye didn't come but this old brother did."

"Could it be, Chief Steward Xie, those three kids were your offspring?"

"You!"

Xu Fan's words were cutting. If this got back to the Family Head, he would not fare well!

Xie Tianlong glared fiercely at Xu Fan and snorted coldly, "Xu Fan, my Ye Family intended to be on good terms with you, yet you treat us this way, is there any sincerity in your actions?"

"This..."

Within minutes of Xie Tianlong's arrival, the room filled with the smell of gunpowder, and Old Li, seeing this, couldn't help but shake his head.

This was probably youthful recklessness.

His purpose in coming here was simply to introduce Xu Fan, and whatever Xu Fan decided to do next was his decision.

Old Li did not intend to interfere.

After all, this young man didn't need him to teach him how to conduct himself in society.

"Sincerity?"

Xu Fan played with the porcelain cup in his hand, lifted his eyelids, and looked back at Xie Tianlong.

"Since the Ye Family knows they were wrong and wants to apologize, let the Ye Family Head come here in person."

"Sending a mere lackey to plead with me, what kind of sincerity is that?"

Bang!

Xie Tianlong slammed the table and rose to his feet!

His eyes, ablaze with anger, glared directly at Xu Fan!

He truly hadn't expected that Xu Fan would so actively provoke a conflict!

In the Ye Family over the years, those who dared to call themselves a lackey were already disposed of in the open sea.

If Xu Fan dared to insult him?

Fine! He'd make sure Xu Fan died right here in this private room!

"Old Li, since this reconciliation isn't going anywhere, I'll take my leave first!"

Glaring coldly at Xu Fan, Xie Tianlong strode powerfully towards the private room door.

...

Soon, Xie Tianlong had walked out of the private room.

Old Lee looked at the door as it creaked shut and couldn't help shaking his head.

Although it was his Ye Family that had been at fault first, they had already shown sincerity in wanting to apologize, so was Xu Fan's reaction a bit too much?

Musing over it, he planned to discuss with Xu Fan the principle of sparing others when possible.

"Xu Fan, you..."

"Old Lee, I'll explain to you in a bit."

Before Old Lee could speak, Xu Fan quickly interrupted and then glanced at the now-shut door of the private room.

Suddenly, he swung a palm strike!

In an instant, several streams of Innate Sword Qi formed in the air!

Like a flash of lightning, the Qi Force tore through the sky, easily smashing the nearby door!

The mahogany door fell to the ground with a crash! The momentum of Xu Fan's several streams of Qi Force didn't stop there, and quite precisely, it blocked Xie Tianlong who was about to sprint outside.

Just a step away...

If he had been a bit faster just now, he probably would have died under the power of Xu Fan's palm!

Looking at the hole in the wall blasted by the Qi Force, Xie Tianlong felt a cold shiver run down his back!

"Manager Xie, did I let you leave?"

The lazy voice of Xu Fan came from inside the room as Xie Tianlong mechanically turned his neck to look at the young man sitting calmly at the round table, his eyes filled with mounting fear.

"You... what do you want to do..."

Sweat beads the size of soybeans quickly covered his entire forehead, and at that moment, Xie Tianlong felt his heart jump to his throat.

Once he left, his men would activate the bomb, with only a four-minute countdown, just enough to let him escape the kill zone.

There was no second to lose!

He had to leave!

But the monster in front of him seemed not very willing to let him go just like that...

Thinking of the proud smirk he had before he left, Xie Tianlong couldn't help feeling the irony.

What... what should I do...

"Manager Xie, the dish hasn't even been served yet, and you're talking about leaving, I don't think that's quite proper."

"Come, sit with me and finish the meal before you go."

If he goes back, he's dead!

Xie Tianlong screamed in his mind!

He didn't want to go back at all, but actually leaving, Xu Fan's next strike wouldn't miss!

After a few exchanges, a minute had already passed, he absolutely couldn't delay any longer, Xie Tianlong had no choice but to force himself to walk back into the private room.

"Xu... Xu Fan, I was wrong just now, please, I beg for your forgiveness."

If he had known this guy was such a character, he wouldn't have lost his temper, now Xie Tianlong regretted it deeply as he apologized to Xu Fan.

He just wanted Xu Fan to spare him so he could quickly escape.

"You want my forgiveness?"

Not in the least bit anxious, Xu Fan was propping his chin, looking at Xie Tianlong, and said, "Lie down like a dog, do it right."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a dog! I'm a dog! Woof, woof, woof!"

Without hesitation, Xie Tianlong was now lying in front of Xu Fan, imitating the barking of a dog.

This scene almost made Old Lee's eyeballs pop out of his head.

This guy was really too cowardly, wasn't he?

Who would actually bark like a dog?

As the barking continued, watching the sweat beads increase on Xie Tianlong's face, Old Lee couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

It seemed like this guy was scared of more than just Xu Fan's thunderous methods.

Subconsciously, Old Lee looked towards Xu Fan.

This guy might have experienced something he hadn't told him yet.
