For Xu Fan, Ke Bancheng felt a deep-seated fear and subconsciously tried to slip into the crowd. However, before he could blend in, Xu Fan's gaze was already upon him.

"Uh... this, this..."

These days, having heard nothing from Xu Fan, Ke Bancheng had assumed that Xu Fan must have been killed by his aunt-in-law.

Now seeing Xu Fan standing alive before him, his legs began trembling uncontrollably from fear.

If it weren't for the gazes of the people around him, he might have knelt down right there.

"What are you staring at! Why haven't you thrown them out yet!"

Compared to Ke Bancheng, Anadan was much tougher. From within the crowd, she stepped forward, yelling instructions.

The bodyguards in the hall, along with those who had rushed in from outside, received the order and immediately charged towards Xu Fan and the two with him, planning to forcibly remove the trio.

As the group attacked, Xu Fan and Hu Busan showed no signs of fear, standing calmly in place, as if they didn't even see them.

"Hmph, seeking death."

Seeing the group closing in, Zhou Zhanlong, carrying a huge gift box, grunted and immediately stepped in front of Xu Fan and Hu Busan!

Holding the massive box, he swept it around again.

Zhou Zhanlong's box, weighing a thousand pounds, who would have thought it could be wielded like this?

The originally formidable bodyguards were like flies hitting a swatter, getting sent flying!

Several loud bangs rang out! They landed on the banquet tables, causing a scramble of screams as people ran in all directions.

"This..."

These bodyguards were no ordinary men, and yet under the hands of this strong man, they were merely a match of seconds, their bones fractured and combat abilities lost, leaving the hall's elite in utter fright.

With a bang, Zhou Zhanlong placed the gift box on the ground and snorted, "Zhou Zhanlong of Lingyan Pavilion is here. Who else dares to come try?"

"What!"

"Zhou… Zhou Zhanlong?"

In the hall, as Zhou Zhanlong announced his name, bursts of exclamations erupted.

Since the death of Xiao Tianfang, the names of the men from Lingyan Pavilion had gradually faded from their memories. Now, hearing the name of this top fighter of Lingyan Pavilion again, everyone felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing their throats, making it hard to breathe...

"So it's Zhou Zhanlong, no wonder he barged in so boldly..."

"This guy, how did he end up in Shanghai."

The people around murmured quietly, seeing Anadan far away deep in thought. Xu Fan smiled and then addressed her, "Zhou Zhanlong, step back."

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Zhanlong respectfully nodded and then moved behind Xu Fan.

"This?"

"Who is this guy?"

This action inevitably made the crowd look at Xu Fan in surprise.

Zhou Zhanlong held a high position in Lingyan Pavilion, but to see how respectfully he acted in his presence, who exactly was Xu Fan?

"Anadan, it seems we meet again."

Xu Fan didn't consider the onlooking crowd and looked straight at Anadan, greeting her as such.

"Xu Fan!"

"Where's my godmother!"

Thinking that they had Xu Fan's life under threat using that girl, but now?

Xu Fan was still alive, which likely meant something unfortunate had befallen his godmother...

Anadan looked at Xu Fan in immense anger.

Xu Fan simply smiled and said, "Your mom has gone to heaven."

"Pfft."

In the crowd, many couldn't help but snicker at Xu Fan's remark.

This kid, daring to joke like that about Ke Bancheng's wife, was really audacious.

"Xu Fan, you will regret this!"

Such humiliation enraged Anadan, her face flushed with anger as she stared daggers at Xu Fan, wishing she could tear him to shreds on the spot!

Xu Fan paid no heed, his gaze swiftly swept across the crowd and soon landed on Ke Longxiang not far away.

Perhaps it was the splendid food and clothing of these days that had restored Ke Longxiang's confidence. Flanked by several brothers, he was staring coldly at himself.

Xu Fan smiled at him and said, "Ke Longxiang, I heard you're getting engaged today. I came especially to celebrate with you. Aren't you delighted?"

"You little bastard! Dare you say that again!"

"Damn it! Do you know whose territory Shanghai is?"

"Dare to mess with the people of the Crown Prince Party?"

Before Ke Longxiang could speak, several men crowding around him began shouting loudly.

However, the uproar didn't last long; feeling the gaze of Zhou Zhanlong from the side, these arrogant young masters subconsciously quieted down.

"Heh heh..."

Despite still glaring resentfully at him, Xu Fan smiled and did not take much notice. He then turned his attention to Ke Bancheng at the center and said, "Ke Bancheng, you show no mercy to me, yet I hold a sense of duty towards you."

"Today, with such a grand celebration in your Ke Family, as a friend, I have prepared a big gift for you."

"Zhou Zhanlong, please deliver the gift to Mr. Ke."

"Understood, master."

Zhou Zhanlong responded from behind and immediately stepped forward, steadied himself, and slapped the big gift box with a palm!

A buzzing sound emerged! The huge gift box, big enough for three people to embrace, slid directly towards Ke Bancheng!

"This!"

If the box were to hit straight on, it could potentially shatter all the bones in the body!

Ke Bancheng turned absolutely pale, watching as the box charged towards him, his instincts screamed to dodge.

Hiss! Hiss!

However, Zhou Zhanlong had excellently controlled his strength, and the box moved right in front of Ke Bancheng and stopped directly.

Ke Bancheng's frantic movements, however, led to much disdain from the crowd.

"Um..."

Not wanting to embarrass himself further, Ke Bancheng steadied himself, stood erect, and was about to see what exactly was inside the box.

Crack...

Before he could have the box unpacked, a series of cracking sounds came from where Zhou Zhanlong struck it!

The massive box, with several cracks spreading across it, quickly completely collapsed!

"This..."

"No way..."

As the wooden box shattered, the gift hiding within it was revealed to everyone present.

Seeing the object before them, everyone's faces turned pale, and their mouths hung open.

What Xu Fan had sent was a Big Bronze Bell!

"Xu Fan! You've got some nerve!"

Watching her husband frightened bloodless in front of the Big Bronze Bell, Anadan's face flushed with anger, and she yelled at Xu Fan!

Sending a bell, this guy, could it be he intends to wipe out the Ke Family?

A mere overachiever in Shanghai, from where does he get the audacity to act so brazenly?

"Xu Fan, this isn't Jinling, and you don't get to dictate things from Lingyan Pavilion!"

With murderous intent in her eyes, Anadan had already made up her mind that she would not let Xu Fan leave Shanghai!

"Heh heh..."

Locking eyes with Anadan, the corners of Xu Fan's mouth curled up as he said lightly, "It indeed isn't right now, but what comes next may be another story."
