Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Yielding on the Spot
At these words, everyone was stunned. They had never expected this person’s identity to be so extraordinary. In fact, a few had even guessed who he was.
So it’s him. Truly remarkable. In our eyes, Ye Fan’s backing is far too powerful!
As for Young Master Guo, he forced a smile and said, "So he’s Brother He’s brother. This is all a misunderstanding."
Even as the high and mighty Shangjing Young Commander, he had to yield. The other young masters beside him quickly chid in, "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!"
They could only say as much; otherwise, they feared they would be utterly humiliated today. The dozens of thugs cowering in the corner didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. They had been duped as well. They never imagined Ye Fan was more than a simple bodyguard. After all, who had ever seen a re bodyguard intimidate the Shangjing Young Commander to the point that the man was afraid to even breathe?
At that mont, He Yu asked, "A misunderstanding, is it?"
He chuckled, and in the next instant, he flipped the entire table. The drinks went flying, splashing all over the young masters, with a good amount landing on Young Master Guo himself.
But he didn’t dare show any anger.
Although the Guo family is the strongest of the eight great clans and might one day rival the four great millennial families, until that day cos, even a tiger has to lie low.
"Big Brother, it’s all up to you today. Whatever you say goes!" He Yu said to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan coughed. "I’ve always been an approachable person who never looks for trouble. Isn’t he the Shangjing Young Commander? Give him a few slaps. Make them loud!"
"You got it!" He Yu imdiately nodded.
The onlookers felt their heads spin. If this was "approachable," then most people in the world must be saints. Su Qingxue and Fang Nan remained silent, naturally siding with their man at a ti like this.
He Yu stepped forward. Young Master Guo said, "Brother He, we move in the sa circles. Don’t make this ugly for !"
He was implying that even if He Yu was a young master from one of the four great millennial families, he couldn’t just rough him up as he pleased.
But He Yu wasn’t buying it. "The Young Commander, is it?"
SLAP!
He landed a crisp slap on Young Master Guo’s face, so loud that everyone, including the other young masters, held their breath. They didn’t dare say a word. Having provoked this hot-tempered tyrant, they could only curse their bad luck. All they could do now was pray that Ye Fan would be satisfied with He Yu only slapping Young Master Guo, allowing them to escape the humiliation.
Young Master Guo’s eyes turned icy. He glared at He Yu, a look so fierce it seed like a volcano about to erupt.
SLAP!
SLAP!
He Yu delivered two more consecutive slaps to the sa side of his face. Young Master Guo’s fists were clenched so tight his knuckles were white, but he didn’t dare to strike back.
"Laozi hates it when people look at
like that," He Yu growled. "Besides my Big Brother, no one gets to do that! You still dare to look at ?"
The crowd gasped. After today, the Shangjing Young Commander’s reputation would be in tatters, having been so thoroughly humiliated by He Yu.
At this, Young Master Guo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze no longer as icy. If he took a few more slaps, he felt the humiliation and frustration might just kill him.
"Brother He, I concede today!"
"Then learn to watch where you’re going. If you dare to trouble my Big Brother again, it won’t be as simple as a few slaps," He Yu warned.
Young Master Guo imdiately got up and slinked away in disgrace. He had co to teach Ye Fan a lesson. What a joke! He was the one who had been schooled. The thought of teaching anyone else was pure fantasy.
The other young masters and their henchn also made to leave.
"Who said you could go? Did my Big Brother give you permission?" He Yu bood imperiously.
Instantly, their faces turned ashen, a look more miserable than if their parents had just died. They knew this wasn’t going to end so easily.
He Yu then turned to Ye Fan. "Big Brother, this is still your call!"
"No need," Ye Fan said indifferently. "Dealing with these people is beneath . Just have a little fun with them. For example, have them each slap themselves ten tis. See? A man should always remain calm and composed!"
Everyone almost fainted. So this was his idea of being calm and composed. It was a real eye-opener.
As for Su Qingxue and Fang Nan, they burst into unrestrained laughter. They were the only ones who dared. As Ye Fan’s won, their status was unparalleled.
He Yu turned back to the group. "Did you hear that? My Big Brother has spoken! Ten slaps each, and if they aren’t loud enough, I’ll do it for you!"
The group of young masters and their thugs imdiately started slapping themselves. The sound was as sharp as applause; they didn’t dare hold back. Trying to pull a fast one in front of this tyrant would be suicide.
Only when they had all beaten themselves sufficiently did He Yu shout, "Get lost!"
The group scrambled away. With He Yu involved, they had no choice but to accept their fate. But one thing was certain: Ye Langfeng was definitely going to pay.
At that point, He Yu said, "I can’t believe those guys ruined the mood. Big Brother, I have a lot to tell you!"
"Alright."
Ye Fan and He Yu went to a private room. At the party they left behind, with the other young masters gone, Su Qingxue and Fang Nan naturally beca the center of attention.
Once in the room, the two n each downed a bottle of baijiu. He Yu then said to Ye Fan, "Big Brother, where have you been all these years? I heard about what happened to you at Divine Dragon. I’m sorry, Big Brother. I couldn’t help you."
Ye Fan replied, "It’s fine. That score will be settled soon enough."
"After I got out, I went to the South Arica Battlefield. There, I established the King Hall," Ye Fan explained.
"Big Brother, you’re the King of Heaven?" He Yu was shocked. He had always known his brother was destined for greatness and would beco a world-renowned figure. Clearly, Ye Fan had done it.
"Yes, but it’s just a title, not worth ntioning. Keep it a secret for ," Ye Fan said. "Regarding what happened back then, how much do you know?"
Ye Fan considered that even though He Yu had left Divine Dragon long ago, he had still heard about the incident. Perhaps he knew so of the details.
He Yu said, "Big Brother, I don’t know much. Three years ago, I used my connections to ask about you and only then did I learn what happened. I know you’re a man of great loyalty who would never betray his own brothers, but Divine Dragon is like a mountain weighing on all of our hearts. We can’t challenge them."
"I couldn’t help you, Big Brother!" He Yu’s expression was pained. Ye Fan could see he wasn’t acting; his own eyes could pierce any mask of falsehood, and He Yu was clearly not that kind of person.
Although He Yu was an heir to one of the four great millennial families and held a high status, he was truly insignificant compared to Divine Dragon.
Ye Fan said, "Don’t get involved, and don’t do anything foolish. This isn’t sothing you can join."
"Big Brother, you saved my life on the battlefield! In the training camp, you helped
reclaim my honor! You gave
my dignity and my life, yet I could only stand by and watch you get frad, unable to do a thing!" He Yu gulped down another half-bottle of baijiu.
"I did what I was supposed to do," Ye Fan stated. "I would never let my brothers be humiliated."
Just then, He Yu said, "Big Brother, this matter is actually related to the Demon Emperor!"
"The Demon Emperor, Ling Xiong?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes! Although I don’t know the whole truth, he was definitely involved. Back then, he wasn’t famous yet, and neither were you, Big Brother," He Yu told him.
"So it really is him," Ye Fan said imdiately. "The matter is too complicated. Right now, I still don’t have the strength to challenge Divine Dragon."
"But I will begin my investigation," Ye Fan said coldly.
Back then, Divine Dragon had intended to groom him as the new Controller, but his opinions clashed with those of several Elders. He was sure that was the catalyst. It was because of that conflict that the Elders couldn’t tolerate him; after all, he was not one to take orders. As he grew stronger, the Elders felt him slipping from their control, and that was when the shadow of death began to fall. He never expected that the Demon Emperor, who had been far less distinguished than him at the ti, was also one of the conspirators.
"Demon Emperor!" Ye Fan snarled.
His rage was so palpable that the liquor bottle beside him shattered, giving He Yu a terrible fright. At the ntion of the Demon Emperor, fury surged through Ye Fan. If the Demon Emperor was indeed part of the plot that frad him, then he had just added another na to his list of enemies. After all, the Demon Emperor was an expert whose fa was on par with his own.
