Lu Qiu dominantly placed his foot on the table, with everyone staring at the shoe stained with thick phlegm, their expressions continuously shifting uncomfortably.

Such a disgusting act, even if the woman were incredibly beautiful, probably no one would be able to do it.

This Lu Qiu really knew how to make things difficult.

As for the current troubles caused by Lu Qiu, Xu Fan didn't take them too seriously, moving his gaze to Xia Yanyu and starting to sneer.

"Being a plaything for someone like this? Xia Yanyu, you really have some aspirations."

He would rather have Xiao Die marry such a man than consider herself; such power play only seemed ironic to Xu Fan.

After a cold glance at Xia Yanyu, Xu Fan turned to Lu Qiu.

"Brother, what do you think, would I do something like this?"

Xia Yanyu was not worth doing such a base thing for; Xu Fan was well aware of the little tricks Lu Qiu was playing.

He was just trying to provoke me, Xu Fan thought.

Xu Fan didn't react rashly, which came as a surprise to Lu Qiu. Smirking devilishly, he said, "Friend, whether you are willing to do it doesn't matter. The important thing is, if Lu Qiu tells you to lick, you lick, understand?"

The four bodyguards by Lu Qiu's side, who were very familiar with his temperament, had perfectly synchronized to surround Xu Fan.

These bodyguards were experts personally selected from among the most elite soldiers in the army by Lu Qiu's parents; when they made a move, it would either be death or disablement.

Lu Qiu had considerable confidence in them; pointing to the thick phlegm on the tip of his shoe, he sneered, "Do you know what people call me here? 'Mad Youngster.' Brother, if you want to walk out of this bar, just obediently lick it clean, otherwise..."

In an instant, the sharpness in Lu Qiu's eyes was fully revealed as he stared at Xu Fan and hummed coldly, "I will make you disappear from this world completely."

Whether Lu Qiu had the capital to back up his threat was something everyone present knew all too well.

Not long ago, a precious son of a high-ranking official in Jinling tried to act big in front of Lu Qiu. The result was that Lu Qiu didn't say much before crippling the man's lower body.

In the end, the high-ranking official personally apologized to Lu Qiu.

Not even such spoiled young masters could escape their fate, so how could Xu Fan possibly defy a mad young master like Lu Qiu?

The only choice left for Xu Fan was clear.

Obediently lick it clean.

For a moment, the atmosphere around the booth tensed up, with everyone nearby holding their breath as they looked towards Xu Fan.

Sympathy was all they could feel for Xu Fan; helping him was simply not realistic.

"Maybe we should just let it go..."

The situation had escalated beyond what Xia Yanyu had expected; it was her first time drinking sullenly at a bar, and she didn't know much about the man beside her right now.

But she had a feeling that this man was no ordinary person...

Though filled with hatred for Xu Fan, as the rush in her heart receded, Xia Yanyu, for some reason, started to feel hesitant.

A beauty of Xia Yanyu's level might have men complying with her wishes, but that didn't mean Lu Qiu would do the same.

Without warning, Lu Qiu delivered a fierce slap across Xia Yanyu's face.

True, he wanted this beautiful woman, but he didn't need to use flattery to get her.

"Did I allow you to speak?"

After casting a cold glance at Xia Yanyu, Lu Qiu sneered, "Do you really think I, Lu Qiu, need to do all that to have you? Sit down and behave now. I'll play however I want, and no one can tell me otherwise!"

"And you, stop standing there playing the fool, lick it now!"

The thunderous shout reverberated, like an irresistible imperial edict, as the four elite bodyguards encircling him seemed ready to move at any moment, Xu Fan finally made his move.

Under everyone's tense gaze, Xu Fan stepped forward, bringing himself even closer to Lu Qiu's spit-covered shoe.

"Did you just say your name is 'Mad Youngster'?"

At this point, the other party was still dilly-dallying, refusing to follow his orders, and Lu Qiu's impatience grew increasingly intense.

Staring at Xu Fan's expressionless face, he grinned viciously and asked, "What, you don't agree?"

"Do you know how to write the character for 'arrogance'?"

"What?"

Seemingly puzzled by Xu Fan's question, a flicker of surprise passed through Lu Qiu's eyes.

In that instant, Xu Fan raised his hand without warning and, with the force of a thunderbolt, delivered a merciless slap across Lu Qiu's face!

A crisp smack resonated throughout the bar's main hall, drawing startled glances from everyone around.

Even the DJ, responsible for the music, was so stunned by the scene that he forgot to switch the rubber disc in his hands.

What had been a noisy bar just a second ago was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Countless pairs of eyes turned towards Xu Fan.

Their gaze held only disbelief; they couldn't comprehend that this man would actually dare to strike...

Even the four bodyguards brought by Lu Qiu were dumbfounded.

Over the years, they had never seen someone so presumptuous. Normally, just the mention of Lu Qiu's household was enough to leave anyone breathless with fear.

This guy actually dared to make a move...

"Kid! You're courting death!"

After a few seconds of their brains freezing, rage ignited on the faces of the four bodyguards!

Now that Lu Qiu had been slapped, if they were to stand there doing nothing, the consequences wouldn't only fall on this fearless kid.

Without any restraint, the four of them exerted their full strength and charged towards Xu Fan.

They knew very well that there was only one way to appease Lu Qiu's anger.

Kill this kid!

All four were elites from the military, trained in martial arts techniques meant for killing. Now, as they moved into action, a lethal aura erupted in mere moments!

Seeing Xu Fan caught in the middle, onlookers felt their hearts clench and, subconsciously, closed their eyes.

There was no need to watch anymore; it was impossible for this guy to survive.

After all, arrogance comes with a price.

The price Xu Fan paid was his life.

The music at the bar had stopped earlier, and now, the entire place was filled only with the tense breathing of the crowd and the whistling sound of fists cutting through the air.

Just as everyone had imagined, within seconds, there were screams of agony.

The crowd dared not open their eyes; they couldn't bear to witness such a bloody scene.

More importantly, they knew it was best to see nothing of what had occurred today.

Otherwise, they would only be inviting trouble upon themselves.

Time passed, and the heart-wrenching screams finally ceased. Some of those who were braver let out a sigh of relief and slowly, cautiously, opened their eyes.

"This..."

But the scene before them left them gaping in astonishment.

The four seemingly invincible bodyguards were now lying on the ground in odd positions, utterly devoid of any capacity to fight.

In contrast, Xu Fan, who was supposed to be dead, was completely unharmed.

"This..."
