"He Si, who is this?"

The man in the linen shirt across from He Si stopped fiddling with the jade pendant in his hand and asked with a light snort.

He Si was startled, then quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Ah, you guys look at my memory. Come, let me introduce you."

"This is Master Xu Fan, a highly skilled person I've recently met, ah, yes, and also my friend."

As he mentioned the word "friend," He Si sneakily glanced at Xu Fan to see if he frowned, his face brightening momentarily.

Following that, he cheerfully introduced to Xu Fan, "Master Xu, these gentlemen here are all prominent figures in Jinling City."

"Sitting opposite me is He Yunwei, Director He, who dropped out of school at eighteen and ventured into society on his own. Now, he owns billions in assets. Almost half of the hotels in Jinling, including Jinling International, have his shares."

Flattered by He Si, He Yunwei, wearing the linen shirt, haughtily snorted through his nose, affirming the accuracy of He Si's account.

"Cheng Yuehai, a financial expert, truly an overseas returnee, now the mastermind of Jinling's operations. Anyone significant in the stock market must address him as senior. He definitely holds influence in the market!"

The man in a suit sitting to the left of He Yunwei slightly smiled and discreetly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Chen Huangdong, known as the 'Car God,' in Jinling's transportation industry, taxis and buses, he owns more than half of the shares. That is to say, he holds the lifeline of Jinling's transportation hubs!"

"Heh heh, not only that, Huangdong's subordinates, heh heh, each of them is more than capable of standing on their own!"

"Hmph..."

The muscular man sitting to the right of He Yunwei scoffed lightly, accepting He Si's lavish praise.

"Master Xu..."

"Hmph!"

Just as he was about to continue explaining to Xu Fan, suddenly, He Yunwei across from him snorted displeasedly!

While He Si was introducing his three companions, he kept observing Xu Fan.

Xu Fan was under twenty, dressed simply, showing no hint of a highly skilled person—more like a kid here to freeload a meal!

This was clearly He Si deliberately trying to irritate him!

He Yunwei slammed the jade pendant in his hand onto the table, annoyed, and grunted, "He Si, have you said enough?"

"We're not interested in knowing what kind of background your little brat friend has. Since you asked us here today to discuss serious matters, let's get to that. Stop playing these tricks and tell this guy to get out, alright?"

The impatience in He Yunwei's eyes was unmistakable, and the other two nearly felt the same, evidently not having a good impression of Xu Fan.

He Si looked on, his smile freezing, and he awkwardly grimaced before turning to Xu Fan.

"Master Xu, this..."

He Si looked bitter, as though he wanted to explain something, but Xu Fan just slightly smiled and gestured with his hand, cutting him off.

"Gentlemen, are you not welcoming me?"

Xu Fan calmly swept his gaze over the three men, his expression serene and unflustered.

Previously, despite He Si's vocal praises of these three men, he seemed completely indifferent.

"Hmph, little boy, not welcome you? You're not even qualified to be unwelcomed by me!"

He Yunwei coldly glanced at Xu Fan, sneering, "You? You don't even have the qualification to sit at the same table with us, understand?"

The other two men, hearing He Yunwei's words, nodded silently in agreement.

Indeed, how could this student possibly be in the same league as them?

"Oh? Is that so?"

Xu Fan lightly swept his gaze across the three as smug smiles began to form on their lips. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "How unfortunate, I feel the same way."

"Now, would you all stand up?"

"Audacious!"

When had the three of them ever been so belittled? He Yunwei felt a surge of nameless fury, and with a fierce slap on the desk, he barked, "Kick this kid out now!"

Immediately! Two bodyguards behind him took the order, a sharp fierceness flashing in their profound eyes, moving toward Xu Fan with the menacing power of storms subduing the city!

Both bodyguards were masters! In a blink, they had already advanced swiftly to Xu Fan!

Positioning themselves one on each side, they reached out with large hands, planning to toss Xu Fan out just as one might pick up a chick!

Xu Fan lazily lifted his eyelids, glanced indifferently, and faced the two men's assault without making any counter-attack.

Instead, he picked up a spoon from the table and scooped up a dish in front of him.

Ah!!!

The next moment, screams erupted!

The bodyguards hadn't even touched Xu Fan's garment when they were struck as if by lightning and directly thrown out!

They fell to the ground, twitching incessantly!

"Hmph, overestimating yourselves."

Xu Fan, holding the spoon, scoffed lightly, his calm gaze leisurely shifting to the remaining four bodyguards.

"What are you staring at? Come at me all together."

"Seeking death!"

The casually commanding tone, like the fiercest liquor, instantaneously ignited a raging fury in the hearts of the four men. At this moment, without waiting for their master's instruction, they rushed collectively toward Xu Fan!

Xu Fan's expression remained the same as before. He now lowered his head to carefully inspect the translucent peas in the spoon, flicked his wrist, and the peas, wrapped in inner strength, were shot toward the four men!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Like being hit by a car, the four figures were thrown back before they could even approach Xu Fan; they landed heavily on the ground, spitting blood continuously!

"..."

The atmosphere in the room abruptly turned eerily chilling, as if winter had come early. He Yunwei, Cheng Yuehai, and Chen Huangdong were frozen like ice sculptures, sitting motionless in their chairs with eyes wide open.

Just like all rich tycoons, at such heights, they valued their lives more than anything else.

With millions spent on bodyguards to protect themselves, they were well aware of what qualities justified such a hefty expenditure.

But now, bodyguards who could usually handle challenges single-handedly, considered invincible, had utterly failed against a mere youth's single move!

To be precise, it was hardly a move. He had simply scattered a spoonful of peas…

Recalling their own previous arrogance, a seed of fear took root in their hearts, rapidly germinating and eventually turning into a piercing cold wind that invaded their very organs.

Cold sweat broke out, and their limbs began to tremble uncontrollably!

Even at this moment, when Xu Fan merely gently placed the spoon down, making a 'ding' sound on the plate, the three men panicked as if they had lost their souls.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, taking pleasure in witnessing the varied expressions on their faces.

Having just integrated the power of the Jiuyang Warm Jade, his strength had greatly increased. These three, oblivious to danger, had provoked him, which was truly laughable.

"What's the matter? Gentlemen, do you still think you deserve to sit with me?"

Xu Fan's casually spoken words brought about an involuntary shiver among the three.

A voice of extreme fear inside screamed at them to stand up and run for their lives, but alas, their legs had already gone too weak with fear…
