Chapter 838: The Legend of the Jianghu
Ma Huifang knelt outside the door, kowtowed three times with grateful tears before leaving.She had prepared for the worst, willing to take all the blame and even become a workhorse if it would earn the Chu Group’s mercy. To her surprise, the Chu Group already knew everything.
Not only did they forgive all the Zhang Family’s offenses, but they also extended unprecedented leniency.
She knew that even if she hadn’t come, the Zhang Family would still be safe. Her only worry was that, due to her involvement, she had unwittingly caused the Chu Group to gain an enemy in Guan Feitian, leaving her filled with self-reproach.
Even though the Chu Group was magnanimous and did not blame her, how could Ma Huifang not feel guilty?
Qiu Wen watched Ma Huifang leave, then turned back into the room. She had intended to accompany her, but how could Ma Huifang trouble others to see off someone as insignificant as herself? Therefore, after Ma Huifang insisted repeatedly, Qiu Wen did not insist further.
"Guan Feitian, that guy, surely won’t trouble Ma Huifang again, right?" Qiu Wen expressed her concern.
"At this moment, he can barely handle his own affairs, let alone bother others. Compared to the face he lost in front of us, Ma Huifang’s issue is probably long forgotten," Ye Fan said confidently.
"As long as Ma Huifang, that poor woman, isn’t persecuted, I’ll have one less thing to worry about." Qiu Wen said with a smile.
When it came to Guan Feitian, they had no confusion; this was due to a general understanding of the guests in the hotel.
The attitudes of various bigwigs towards the Chu Group were unfriendly; sufficient intelligence was necessary.
Ye Fan and Mengyao’s group rested.
However, inside the Galaxy Hotel, other forces were sleepless. The mishap of Guan Feitian, Song Meimei’s visit to the Chu Group, and the Chu Group’s formidable side sparked various speculations and discussions as the news spread to everyone.
Guan Feitian lay groaning on the bed, and Guo Xiong had invited the best orthopedic specialist to fix Guan Feitian’s injuries. While the external injuries were not serious, the broken bones, even if healed, wouldn’t regain strength and might only serve decorative purposes, with slight movement being the most they could manage.
Guan Feitian’s expression was frighteningly gloomy, filled with a murderous aura.
Guo Xiong stood by Guan Feitian’s bedside, his expression equally unpleasant.
Guo Xiong was the contemporary patriarch of the Guo Family, ranked sixth on the wealth list, dominating as a unique powerhouse in Macao.
This time, Guan Feitian had accompanied Guo Xiong to showcase his gambling talent in front of the gathered bigwigs.
However, Guan Feitian had been beaten to this state by the Chu Group, which enraged Guo Xiong.
In the room, there were only four people, plus Guo Xiong’s son Guo Zhongtian and Black Tiger.
"Dad, the Chu Group has gone too far, daring to beat Young Master Guan like this. This is not just a slap in Young Master Guan’s face but in the Guo Family’s face as well. This grudge must be avenged," Guo Zhongtian said passionately.
Guo Xiong’s expression shifted, fully aware that in the hearts of Guan Feitian, Guo Zhongtian, and Black Tiger, revenge was a certainty, and they wouldn’t rest until Ye Fan was torn to pieces. However, he had his concerns and was not as impulsive as the three. Had it been anyone else, he would have acted with lethal decisive force, but confronting the Chu Group, especially Ye Fan, made his heart race.
Only bigwigs like Guo Xiong understood Ye Fan’s actions, while others, even if they had heard, wouldn’t pay it much mind, and wouldn’t imagine that the near-legendary figure was right before them.
Like Song Tianba, Guo Xiong, being a bigwig, was compelled by status and position to investigate things thoroughly, which was why they understood Ye Fan’s deeds and the reason for their apprehension toward him.
"Uncle Guo, seeing your hesitation, could it be that you have some unspeakable concerns? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of my own revenge and won’t trouble you with it." Guan Feitian spoke with hatred, dissatisfied with Guo Xiong’s hesitance in his heart.
His master, who called Guo Xiong a brother, made the term ’Uncle’ fitting.
Guan Feitian’s master, nicknamed the God of Gambling, had an astounding reputation and wealth.
The Guo Family relied on the God of Gambling in many aspects, which meant they dared not sour relations with Guan Feitian, as the God of Gambling’s protective nature could spell trouble for their relationship with the Guo Family.
"Sigh!" Guo Xiong sighed deeply, helplessly saying, "My dear nephew, couldn’t you have picked a better opponent than Ye Fan? Don’t you know that among all the bigwigs, none do not dread Ye Fan?"
"What do you mean by that?" Guan Feitian asked, puzzled.
"Someone who can take down Black Tiger in one move, do you think they’re simple?" Guo Xiong said meaningfully.
"Black Tiger was just careless," Guan Feitian replied matter-of-factly.
Guo Xiong looked at Black Tiger with piercing eyes and asked, "Were you really careless?"
"I..." Black Tiger stammered, unable to speak, knowing that to call it carelessness was self-deceiving, but he was unwilling to accept that he had been brought down by Ye Fan in one move, unable to fathom why he lost to Ye Fan.
"Is that so?" Guan Feitian sensed something amiss and, curious, asked, "Uncle, could it be that some hound under President Chu, a mere Ye Fan, has some astonishing background?"
"Arrogant and ignorant," thought Guo Xiong, displeased with Guan Feitian’s disdain for Ye Fan, but instead, sincerely advised, "Have you heard who destroyed Second Master Li, thus subjugating the Li Family? Have you heard about the fierce one who recked havoc in Japan by dismantling Blood Rose and Wanpu Company in succession? Have you heard who is revered as the number one legend in the Sky Net Organization? Have you heard about the one who appears on Japan’s most-wanted list yet roams free?"
Guo Xiong’s barrage of questions left Guan Feitian, Guo Zhongtian, and Black Tiger even more puzzled.
"I have heard of these events, but as for this formidable person’s name, I’m not sure. However, I distinctly remember he’s stained with the lives of numerous strong individuals in the Realm of Human Limit, causing an uproar in the Underworld." Guan Feitian said slowly, then, filled with confusion, asked, "But what does what you said have to do with that fierce person? Could it be he has ties to that fierce person?"
"No ties, rather..." Guo Xiong began, but Guan Feitian cut him off, dismissive, "No ties, no matter; killing such a minor character is no big deal."
"Minor character?" Guo Xiong’s lips twitched, wishing to scold Guan Feitian for his ignorance, he raised his voice sternly, "Why are you in such a hurry, you didn’t even give me a chance to finish a sentence."
Guan Feitian immediately sensed something wasn’t right and put on a listening face.
"The person who hit you and the fierce person you mentioned are one and the same." Guo Xiong said irritably.
The words were spoken, and the room was in an uproar.
