Hubert Qian quickly went with him, making arrangements for Fade Chen and his companions.
At the left of the mansion, the curtains have fallen on the banquet. It was an event full of unexpected twists and turns, and the final act was unpredictable indeed.
Hanover City's distinguished Guo family was totally browbeaten by this foreign young man till they had to surrender to his demands, handing over their founding enterprises and removing themselves from the entertainment industry of the city.
And speaking of Fade Chen, who was just some mysterious stranger, how did he acquire such power and influence? Not only did he attain skills and strength of a high level in the martial arts, but he also managed to get the support of Big Brother Qian. These were all facts that the guests could not wrap their heads around.
They proceeded to leave in confusion and shock.
Mikael Xu's face was green, and his expression was full of anxiety and Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
apprehension. He had spoken to Fade Chen in a rude manner, provoking him and his companions. If they wanted to seek vengeance, he would be in absolute trouble.
After all, the Guo family was now ruined, and the Xu family would not be able to survive if faced with such a threat.
As for Chessca Tan, she walked out of the mansion in a daze. Her face reflected a whirlwind of ever- changing emotions. She was puzzled and astonished that Fade Chen, who seemed the most inconspicuous amongst Momo Soo and the others, possessed such great power.
She was anxious and fearful, worried that Fade Chen would retaliate against her due to the previous events.
Finally, she felt a sense of regret. If she had not been so quick to fawn over Mikael Xu and Haldon Guo, and instead tried to build a good relationship with Fade Chen and his companions, she might be in a great position right now.
Each guest had their own thoughts and feelings, but Dominic Guo felt absolute despair at the fact that he was dealt the worst hand in this situation.
He sat in the car, livid, unwilling to leave. He didn't want to give up the family business so easily, which he had poured much effort and energy into. However, he was concerned that Hubert Qian would pressure him to do so, not to mention using sinister plots to make sure he did follow through.
"Shall we really obey that fellow and hand over our Guo family enterprises? Or should we gather the collective strength of our family and friends and fight against him? Hanover City is our territory, and we have influence and ownership over this land. No matter how powerful that guy is, we have the home ground advantage. It's not like our Guo family doesn't stand a chance."
Dominic Guo felt himself vacillating between both options. He gradually began to lean towards the latter solution.
Gritting his teeth, Dominic Guo resolved to prepare for battle. After all, he would not be willing to give up his enterprises, which he had laboured on with great effort throughout the years, in tribute to others.
As he reached this decision, Dominic Guo's eyes lit up. He nodded to the driver and said, "Let's go!"
But just as the car engine started, Hubert Qian appeared in front of them. Dominic Guo quickly stopped the car, got off and walked towards Hubert Qian in deference, saying, "Mr Qian!"
Hubert Qian looked at Dominic Guo, who was forcing himself to smile, and his face sank. He said, "Dominic Guo, I have to warn you, don't try to come up with any tricks. You'd better follow Mr Chen's
instructions."
"Oh, I will follow Big Brother Qian's advice, I won't dare to disobey." Dominic Guo spoke, however, he was boiling with rage inside.
Hubert Qian glanced at Dominic Guo and snorted. He said, "I know what your feelings are. You are disgruntled, resentful and unwilling to hand over the Guo family enterprises."
Dominic Guo was silent, but he bit on his lip till blood appeared.
When Hubert Qian saw this, he grunted loudly and said, "I know that you would like to try your luck in going against him. But let me tell you, if you give in to his request, you and your family can still live a comfortable and steady life. However, if you try any shenanigans and end up offending Mr Chen, you and your family will be destroyed!"
He articulated the last word 'destroyed' with such a heavy tone, that Dominic Guo shuddered violently. He stared at Hubert Qian With a look of confusion and disbelief. After considering this matter for some time, he finally spoke, "Big Brother Qian, are you exaggerating Fade Chen's skill and strength?" "Exaggerating?" Hubert Qian sneered and shook his head. "You haven't seen the real extent of Mr Chen's might and power."
Dominic Guo frowned and looked even more puzzled. He said, "Fade Chen may be a warrior of great ability and power, but in the end, he is just another martial-artist. As long as I'm willing to invest my wealth, I can hire someone whose strength and capabilities exceed that of his. Also, in modern society, there are alternate means to an end other than warfare."
As Dominic Guo spoke, his words were laced with murderous intent.
Upon hearing this, Hubert Qian froze and said, "It is fortunate that you told me all this. Otherwise, you would be already dead."
"Big Brother Qian, you..." Dominic Guo could not grasp why Hubert Qian, who was one of two elders of Hanover City, was so intimidated by Fade Chen.
Hubert Qian grimaced as he continued, "Have you ever thought, if Mr Chen possessed only those resources and strengths as you mentioned, would I be so deferential? Do you think you are stronger and wiser than me?"
Dominic Guo quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not, just that..."
Hubert Qian sighed and said, "We have known each other for many years, so I will tell you the truth. After that, I will leave it to you to decide."
"The truth!" Dominic Guo was filled with curiosity.
Hubert Qian lowered his voice and said to Dominic Guo, "That Mr Chen is the infamous Lunatic Chen."
"Lunatic Chen? This... how could it be that..." Dominic Guo was dumbfounded at first, then he came to his senses. His expression was that of shock, and then he seemed doubtful and incredulous. "How... how could this be possible? Lunatic Chen was the one who annihilated the Wan family. How could he be so young?"
Hubert Qian continued in a low voice, "Have you heard of Bay City's Jimmy Wei?"
Dominic Guo nodded.
"He called me personally to tell me that he will follow Mr Chen to the ends of the earth. You know what this means." After saying this, Hubert Qian turned and left.
Dominic Guo was completely astounded. His body felt stiff, and the expression on his face seemed frozen.
Some time passed, and he came to his senses and sighed. "I was not expecting to face someone of such identity. It's no wonder..."
Ultimately, Dominic Guo's face fell in disappointment. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number, saying, "Prepare to emigrate!"
The next day, news of the strange events at this banquet started spreading amongst the elite, the rich and the famous of Hanover City.
The details of the rumours became convoluted and the information was slightly modified as it spread, but two main points of the news remained unaltered.
The first was that Hanover City's Guo family, one of the most prominent families of the town, had completely relinquished the family enterprises in the entertainment industry and emigrated away from Hanover city.
The second was that Hubert Qian had welcomed a special guest, whom he treated with utmost respect and deference.
With the complete retreat of the Guo family, Fatty Huang naturally would not let go of this golden opportunity. He immediately contacted his father at Bay City and proceeded in full force with the expansion of the Huang family's entertainment industry enterprises in Hanover City.
Over the next few days, a dutiful Hubert Qian brought Fade Chen and his companions for a fun- filled tour around Hanover City. Momo Su and Yuri Zhang could finally relax and have a good time.
After the tour, both girls' families contacted them by phone, so they didn't remain much longer in Hanover City. They returned together to Bay City and then went their separate ways.
Fade Chen and Scott Huang, on the other hand, had to deal with some business matters, so they continued their stay at Hanover City.
