As the sound of his voice ceased, Zhou Zidong's eyes, looking towards Xu Fan, grew increasingly mocking.

He thought to himself, Xu Fan's heart must be ablaze with anger right now.

He had painstakingly crushed the Ke Family, believing he could subsequently engulf all the smaller Ke influences. But suddenly, other families from City H emerged at this time.

They divided the things that should have belonged to him, leaving him only the least influential underground forces.

Making wedding dresses for others, anyone would be infuriated.

Zhou Zidong's mouth curled up in a delighted grin.

"Zhou Zidong."

To Zhou Zidong's surprise, Xu Fan did not slink away, but instead looked towards him.

Zhou Zidong glanced at him with astonishment and frowned, "What? Do you have something else to say?"

Xu Fan casually glanced at Zhou Zidong and asked, "Your Zhou Family versus the Ke Family, which is stronger and which is weaker?"

"..."

Xu Fan's sudden question left Zhou Zidong confused.

Why did this guy suddenly ask about this?

Indeed, compared to the Ke Family, the Zhou Family was much weaker. But now, no matter how powerful the Ke Family had been, that was all in the past!

Even more so, as long as he could secure this contract soon, the Zhou Family's status in City H would climb even higher!

Zhou Zidong pridefully tilted his head back and snorted, "Naturally, my Zhou Family is stronger! The Ke Family is already history!"

"Heh, your skin is so thick, I don't know if my hand would hurt if I slapped you."

"You... what do you want to do?"

Seeing Xu Fan raise his hand, Zhou Zidong fearfully stepped back several steps.

He definitely did not want to be hit in such a setting; it would be too embarrassing.

He stepped back a few steps and hid behind his companions before breathing a sigh of relief.

"Heh."

Xu Fan looked at Zhou Zidong indifferently and said, "Zhou Zidong, have you ever considered a question?"

"Since I, Xu Fan, had the power to wipe out the Ke Family, wouldn't your Zhou Family also be a trivial problem?"

"This?"

With just a casual phrase, everyone around showed a look of surprise!

This guy, having just destroyed the Ke Family, was now setting his sights on the Zhou Family?

Thinking it over, everyone's gaze shifted back to Zhou Zidong.

By now, everyone had already heard the news; the Qing Gang, led by Lingyan Pavilion, had already gained allegiance from all major and minor underground forces in City H.

And Lingyan Pavilion was led by none other than Xu Fan.

If he wanted to, let alone other things, the Zhou Family wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in City H!

Going out, they would have to consider the possibility of encountering mishaps.

For a moment, the look everyone gave Zhou Zidong was somewhat sympathetic.

Now Xu Fan was the king of the underworld in City H! How could he allow Zhou Zidong to insult him at will?

This guy, today, seemed to have kicked an iron plate...

"Xu... Xu Fan, you better not mess around! There... there are still laws in this world!"

As more and more eyes turned to Zhou Zidong, his expression became increasingly ugly.

His voice trembling, he yelled at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan looked at him indifferently and smiled, "I am never one to act recklessly."

"If people give me an inch, I give them a foot, but if someone offends me, I ensure to remove them root and branch!"

"Zhou Zidong, I give you seven days to have your Family Head personally come and apologize to me, otherwise, today's Ke Family will be the fate of your Zhou Family in the future!"

"You!"

The Family Head personally coming to apologize! What a humiliation!

At this moment, Zhou Zidong looked at Xu Fan, his eyes nearly bursting with anger! His eyes almost shooting fire!

This guy, just too arrogant!

"Mr. Xu, this city is not dictated by you!"

At this moment, he gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Xu Fan as he spoke!

Looking at this scene, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock.

They clearly understood that Xu Fan's words were not only directed at Zhou Zidong but also included themselves.

For a moment, they hesitated, wondering whether they should offend this young man for a share of the profits.

After all, no one wanted to end up like the Ke Family.

"Hmph, Xu Fan, you can forget about getting this contract today!"

At that time, Zhou Zidong looked at the gift Xu Fan was holding and snorted.

Everyone immediately felt relieved, grateful that the Zhou Family was there to shield them, for now, preventing Xu Fan from causing them trouble immediately.

Following Zhou Zidong's gaze, everyone then looked at what Xu Fan was holding in his hand.

What Xu Fan was holding was mostly the birthday gift he was about to give.

Just by looking at the packaging, one could estimate how much Xu Fan had spent on this gift.

Altogether, including the current packaging! Xu Fan likely spent less than ten thousand yuan!

Keep in mind, the business at stake here could profit billions!

For the sake of pleasing Professor Sun, the people who came brought gifts worth at least several million yuan each!

Aged wines, ancient paintings, antiques, jewels, and so on and so forth...

Any of these items could easily overshadow what Xu Fan was holding in his hands.

How could Professor Sun be interested in what Xu Fan was holding?

Before coming, Xu Fan had already lost half, and now this gift would probably completely lose his chance with Professor Sun.

"Hmph, Xu Fan, seems you still don't understand the saying that 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing some food'?"

"Today, there will be only one winner, and that will be me, Zhou Zidong!"

With a cold glance at Xu Fan, Zhou Zidong then turned and left with his people.

Xu Fan smiled, finding Zhou Zidong's perspective amusing.

Does this guy really think that gifts are all about who spends more money?

Keep in mind, this might work on those who are greedy and indulgent, but not for a unique individual like Professor Sun.

When giving gifts to such people, what matters is not who spends the most, but who chooses rightly!

"He's here! Professor Sun is here!"

"Eh? Who is this little girl?"

At that moment, hearing the people around them suddenly talking, Xu Fan followed their gaze to the side, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them, holding the hand of a roughly seven or eight-year-old girl.

The girl's face was somewhat pale, and her body seemed very weak, becoming very nervous as she saw so many people looking at her, clutching the hem of her dress and lowering her head.

The main celebrant of the birthday banquet had appeared, and the previously amicable crowd rushed towards Professor Sun with the gifts they brought.

One more anxious than the next, fearing they would fall behind, bereft of any previous brotherly affection.

"Professor Sun, happy birthday! Here's a small token of my esteem!"

The crowd swarmed toward Professor Sun, each thrusting their gifts into his hands, afraid of falling behind the others!
