Jian Ning was furious. "Qu Shaojun, do you have any shame? If you hadn't been playing dirty behind our backs, would our company have sold for such a pittance?"
Mu Wanting's face was also as cold as frost.
It was a good thing eyes couldn't kill.
Otherwise, Qu Shaojun would have been dismembered by them long ago.
Qu Shaojun, with a cigar in his mouth, was full of provocation. "This is strategy, understand? How can you call it shameless? If you say that, I'll feel like you can't play anymore!"
Although Chen Nan was a master.
He had suffered losses at Chen Nan's hands before.
But now.
He wasn't panicking at all!
He didn't even have Chen Nan in his eyes yet!
After all!
Behind him were two cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining, early stage!
"Chen, you regret making an enemy of me now, don't you?" Qu Shaojun said with a cold glare. "Do you know what your previous actions were called?"
"You call it rejecting a compliment!"
"Back then, I thought about buying your company for thirty billion. As for the auction... you're humiliating our Qu family."
"Why would we need to resort to auctioning to get what we want?"
"You, on the other hand, were ungrateful and even threatened to revoke our Qu family's auction qualification!"
"Damn it!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"If I hadn't taken a fancy to your Dragon's Embrace, do you think we would have had any dealings?"
"Now it's good, isn't it? The company that could have sold for thirty billion sold for ten billion. Doesn't that feel great?"
He spat viciously as he spoke.
Chen Nan, on the other hand.
He remained calm throughout.
After all.
If a mad dog barks at you, you can't bark back like a dog, can you?
It would be beneath him!
Qu Shaojun, seeing Chen Nan remain silent, felt a bit displeased, as if he were being ignored.
Then he said, "Chen, you slapped me a few days ago, you haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Chen Nan sighed, "Although I didn't get a close-up view of your face, the crisp sound of that slap still makes me reminisce!"
"You're asking for death!" Qu Shaojun roared with rage. He felt insulted by tons from the other party.
His face was sullen, like a man-eating tiger. "Chen, I am from the Qu family. Qu family members are born superior."
"Anyone who offends the dignity of our Qu family will pay a heavy price, and you are no exception!"
"I'll give you a choice!"
"Either ten billion!"
"Or I'll have someone kill you!"
Chen Nan blinked and then burst into laughter. "So Young Master Qu wants to get something for nothing? Very good, very good, this move of yours is quite bold!"
"I never expected that you would be waiting for me here."
"However, do you think I'm your father?"
"You don't seriously believe I'll give you ten billion, do you?"
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm not your father, and I won't indulge you!"
Qu Shaojun didn't get angry. He looked at Chen Nan with a near-sinister grin. "I know cultivators are very arrogant, especially young cultivators like you."
"But you can't be so arrogant as to make an enemy of my Qu family, can you?"
"Do you think you're the only cultivator in the world?"
"Who gave you the courage to be so defiant?"
"Is it Liang Jingru?"
He said, his eyes turning extremely cold, and he roared, "Chen, I'm putting it on the line today."
"If you want to live, hand over that ten billion!"
"Otherwise, next year today will be your day of death!"
The two cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining behind him also unleashed terrifying auras.
As these auras erupted.
Jian Ning and Mu Wanting became inexplicably nervous.
It felt as if even the air had become thinner.
"Chen Nan, why don't we just give them the money back?" Mu Wanting said nervously.
In fact, the money they had invested earlier had already been recouped.
Although parting with it was painful.
It would at least save Chen Nan's life!
"Yes, give it to them!" Jian Ning also knew that Chen Nan was strong, but how much stronger could he be than the noble families of the capital?
In the eyes of ordinary people, they were colossal entities with millennia of heritage, impossible to contend with.
Chen Nan smiled. "Do you think these two useless people behind you can kill me?"
"Insolent!" Qu Shaojun was enraged. "How dare you disrespect two elders? Are you determined to die?"
"Damn it, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but in front of these two elders, you're just an ant. They can crush you with ease."
"Chen, spare the pretense. Quickly kowtow and apologize, and then I'll have the elders leave you a whole corpse!"
A black-clothed elder sneered, "Young man, arrogance comes at a price. Congratulations, you have successfully ignited my killing intent!"
Chen Nan's eyes turned cold. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
A simple glance made the elder feel as if he had a thorn in his back.
It was as if the handsome young man before him had transformed into a primordial beast, causing him a strong sense of unease.
He seemed surprised that a mere youth could possess such a terrifying gaze.
After recovering, the elder's anger flared. He was just a young man in his twenties, why should he be afraid of him?
Could his cultivation be higher than mine?
"Since you wish to die, this old man will fulfill your wish!"
The elder, his anger mounting, raised his hand and pressed down towards Chen Nan.
Whoosh!
Terrible true energy surged out, transforming into a giant palm print.
The palm print crushed the air, creating a sonic boom.
Its momentum was terrifying!
It could split mountains and crack rocks!
"Be careful!"
Jian Ning and Mu Wanting cried out!
"A trivial trick!"
A flicker of disdain crossed Chen Nan's eyes as he slapped forward.
Boom!
After the palm strike.
The palm print in the air instantly vanished, and a gust of wind swept through the banquet hall!
The black-clothed elder's eyes widened in surprise, then he let out a strange laugh. "I underestimated you, but don't celebrate too soon."
"I only used one-third of my strength just now."
"Next, face my full power!"
Jian Ning and Mu Wanting were stunned!
One-third of his strength produced such terrifying power?
This was truly unbelievable!
The next moment.
The elder moved.
He threw a punch.
Terrifying true energy erupted from his fist, transforming into a fierce tiger three meters long.
Roar!
The roar of the tiger suddenly sounded, making Jian Ning and Mu Wanting's hearts skip a beat!
Too strong!
This move was too strong!
The pressure was so immense that they couldn't even breathe!
Is this the heritage of the capital's noble families?
It was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Do you think I was going all out just now?" Chen Nan stood there quietly. "Unfortunately, I have to tell you, I didn't use any true energy in that strike!"
"Well, yes, it was equivalent to me only using my physical strength!"
The black-clothed elder was furious.
Are you implying that my cultivation is inferior to yours?
In the blink of an eye, the phantom tiger roared and appeared before Chen Nan.
At this moment, Chen Nan threw a punch, and to everyone's disbelief, he struck the phantom tiger, causing it to vanish from existence.
Then he uttered a question, "Why are you unhappy when I call you trash?"
