The butler's words were obviously provoking, as if he wanted to see what kind of relationship Hubert Qian and Fade Chen had. After all, everyone was confused that a big shot like Hubert Qian suddenly submitted to a young man.
Facing such a problem at the moment, Hubert Qian's face darkened. He knew of Fade Chen's identity, so he naturally did not try to challenge him. However, it was unacceptable for the Hu family to deliberately set a trap to make him lose face in front of everyone.
For a moment, Hubert Qian's face was gloomy and he stared at the butler coldly.
However, the butler's expression did not change. Instead, he showed a smile and said again, "What's wrong? Since Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen have such a good relationship, we can't tell who's superior and who's inferior. This is the Hu family's miscalculation. Why not I leave first to prepare two identical gifts for the two gentlemen and return with them!"
In the face of such sarcastic and provocative words, Hubert Qian's face was very gloomy. He waved his hand in annoyance, and was
immediately surrounded by his bodyguards.
But the butler's expression remained stoic. He waved his hand and gestured for two servants behind him to present the gifts. Then he looked at Hubert Qian and said, "Mr. Qian, our Old Master is thoughtful enough to send gifts. However, what does Mr. Qian mean by this?"
Hubert Qian's expression changed when he saw the two men behind the butler. He was a little surprised and said, "Dragon Zhang, Tiger Zhao, I would never expect Shawn Hu to send these two aces over."
Shawn Hu had four skilled underdogs who were also his confidants that were equally powerful. Therefore, he named the group "Legendary Fighters of Hu Family" to assert dominance, and the title was quite renowned in Hanover City.
When the butler saw Hubert Qian's face change, he smiled faintly and said, "It was Old Master who ordered Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao to come all for the sake of Mr. Qian. Yet now, I am perplexed whether to assume if it was for the sake of Mr. Qian or Mr. Chen. Could any one of you enlighten me?"
This guy started to sow discord between them again.
Hubert Qian's face darkened. He wanted to
fight, but he didn't want to fight with the two powerhouses, Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao in his own territory. In that case, even if he could win, he would suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Hubert Qian's face steeled in resolution and he sighed. He secretly made the decision that he would sacrifice his pride this time and present the larger gift to Fade Chen.
It was not that he was unintimidated by Fade Chen, nor was it that he couldn't bear to put down his pride. It was just that Hubert Qian was a big shot. When he took the initiative to make a toast just now and the news was spread, it would show that he was respectful and generous in person. Yet now, he was forced to let go of his pride and status by force. Even if others knew of Fade Chen's power and strength, the fact that he was a coward would still last in their minds. As a result, his reputation in Hanover City would definitely be tarnished.
But now, the situation was urgent and he had to make a choice. After all, Hubert Qian didn't want to start a war with the Hu Family because of minuscule matters such as these, and he didn't dare to offend Fade Chen, an unfathomable master.
Therefore, under everyone's burning gaze, Hubert Qian sighed softly, looked at Fade Chen, and said, "Mr. Chen is an honored guest, and this is a valuable gift. Of course..."
However, before Hubert Qian could finish his words, Fade Chen stood up and gently pressed Hubert Qian's hand, whispering, "Mr. Qian, you're too polite. Please, allow me!"
Hearing this, Hubert Qian couldn't help but relax his thoughts. Now, he not only feared Fade Chen, but he also respected him from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was very rare for a skilled professional like Fade Chen to stoop so low just for his dignity.
Fade Chen looked at the butler and inquired, "Your Old Master said that he would give me a gift?"
The butler was stunned momentarily before nodding, "Yes, he has passed me two gifts. Which one would you like, Mr. Chen?"
Fade Chen glanced at the butler, clasped his hands together behind his back, and started questioning, "The Hu family sent me a gift but failed to assign it properly. What kind of rule is this? Are you looking down on me? If you are not sincere enough, you can take it back. I, Fade Chen, don't lack one or two gifts."
