Ye Fan's ferocious shout sounded like a blast of thunder.
These two simple words seemed to weigh a ton.
Wei Luo couldn't hold up against the weight of his authoritative voice and fell to his knees instantly.
"Arghhh!! You bastard! How dare you force me to kneel?!” Wei Luo's intense and frightening roars filled the hall.
He had been born into privilege and was given the best treatment everywhere he went.
Besides kneeling before his own grandfather, he had never knelt before anybody else.
But now, he had been forced to kneel before a hooligan from the countryside. This was a terrible insult to Wei Luo.
Fury, humiliation and sheer pain filled Wei Luo like a fire, burning his entire heart.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared like a madman.
After Ye Fan had forced Wei Luo to his knees, everyone else in the hall was filled with fear and shock as well.
Even those on Ye Fan's side began to look worried too.
"Fan, don't you think you're overdoing things a little? He's from the Wei family of Zhonghai after all. If we treat him like this, I'm afraid that the Wei family will attack with a vengeance once they find out," said Xu Lei worriedly.
"So what if they attack with a vengeance? They are the ones who provoked me first. Do you expect me to just sit around and let them walk all over me? Besides, it's just one Wei family. There's nothing to be afraid of. I've wiped out the Lv family and I trampled on the Lu and Xur families. Did you think one tiny Wei family from Zhonghai would be powerful enough to summon the gods or something?" replied Ye Fan in a stern voice that echoed within the house. His low voice sounded really
angry.
The Wei family had created trouble in Yanjing and seemed to have targeted Xu Lei, but they were really trying to attack Ye Fan.
First, they sent men to persuade the Xue family to defect, then they forced Xu Lei out of her position as the head of the family. This was all done to remove Ye Fan's arms and legs in Yanjing.
Even though Yanjing wasn't Ye Fan's base, he had a share in this region for a long time via the Xue family.
He wasn't going to give his years of hard work to someone else just like that.
Besides, if he really backed down, Xu Lei would never find her place in Yanjing or even within her own family.
"What audacity! What a young and audacious man you are! It is true that a calf does not realize how dangerous a tiger is to itself. Did you really think that just because you're the leader of
Jiangdong and you have a firm grasp over the Xue family, you could do whatever you want with impunity? The Wei family is powerful beyond your imagination! Since you have humiliated Young Master Wei like this today, just wait till they come back for revenge! Once they start their attacks, you won't be able to keep any of your assets in Yanjing, and you'd lose Jiangdong too!" shouted Xu Wen-Qing aggressively, even though he was feeling fearful inside.
When Xu Lei and Ye Fan were talking earlier, the rest of the Xu family was already feeling very unsettled. They could only count on Wei Luo's family to keep Ye Fan in check.
But once Xu Wen-Qing said these words, Ye Fan's sinister gaze landed on him.
Xu Wen-Qing felt cold all over and shuddered violently.
He felt as though the grim reaper was staring at him.
Ye Fan got up and started walking towards Xu Wen-Qing.
With every step he took, the old man's face became one shade whiter.
Xu Wen-Qing's body was trembling as he asked, "What...what do you want? I'm an elder of the Xu family and an elder to Xu Lei, don't tell me that you're..."
PAK!
Ye Fan slapped him before he could finish speaking.
The old man's teeth broke and blood spurted out.
"This slap is for the Xu family! Because you are blind, unable to tell good from bad, and unable to discern right from wrong!"
PAK!
Ye Fan gave a second slap.
At the end of his angry tirade, Ye Fan roared angrily, "All of you, kneel down!"
BOOM!
An authoritative aura filled the house and shot through the clouds.
The Xu family felt as though a mountain had come crashing down upon them.
They couldn't take the weight on them at all and collapsed on their knees.
Only Ye Fan remained standing with his hands folded behind his back as he looked at them domineeringly.
Xu Lei's eyes reddened without her realizing it as she stared at the young man. Her heart felt so touched.
There were many people in this world, but only this young man knew how much she had suffered and understood her pain. He was the only one in the world who would stand up for her when she was being bullied.
"Fan, my greatest fortune is to have met you," she whispered in her heart as she looked fondly at the young man with a silly smile on her face.
All of a sudden, Wei Luo started laughing despite being still on his knees.
His laughter sounded a little insane, and was filled with hatred and malice.
Ye Fan frowned and looked at him. "What are you laughing at?"
"Haha! I'm laughing because you're doomed! I've already called my family for help, and they'll be here anytime! Prepare to die!" Wei Luo endured the terrible pain he felt and cackled loudly as a threatening and arrogant expression spread across his face.
He was the heir to the Wei family after all, so he had plenty of ways to call for help in an emergency.
These methods had certainly come in useful today.
If he wanted to deal with Ye Fan, he had to rely on the strength of his own clan.
