Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal

It was expected. All the Honorary Aristocrats were privileged people. The president of an ordinary company like Fang Han was nothing more than an ant to them. If they were in a good mood they might spare you a smile, but if they were in a bad mood and decided to beat you up, it would be considered being merciful if they did not kill you. Why would they care about your feelings?

Furthermore, they had already gotten it all planned out before they arrived. Since Hong Dali pulled strings to become an orange-level member, they were sure to challenge him someday. They might as well test his abilities today so they could prepare in advance!

After all, if it were a regular compet.i.tion where thirty-two were chosen out of five hundred and twelve, the chances were really small! If they managed to successfully challenge the orange-level member, they would be able to directly move up a level. Since Hong Dali pulled strings to get in, it was easy to decide which was the easier option.

They were here today to put on a show of strength. Their sources said that Hong Dali was here and he definitely had some connection to Fang Han, but so what? Would Hong Dali go up against them for the sake of this lowly commoner?

Speaking of which, if they beat up Fang Han and pushed Hong Dali to attack them, that would be even better! Even if Hong Dali was really powerful, they were four against his one and at the very worst, it would be a draw. They could just turn and leave. What could he do? Would he look for the Master and ask him for help taking revenge against the four of them? What a joke. If he did something so cowardly, he would have no influence in Shenluo City in the future!

"I don"t know!" Fang Han knew the other party did not come with good intentions just from the look in their eyes. He threw caution to the wind and said, "Neither do I know if he will be here today or not."

Technically speaking, Fang Han and Hong Dali were not very close. They just happened to get along. One was an Honorary Aristocrat and the other was a friend he made in pa.s.sing. In normal circ.u.mstances, Fang Han should be trying to placate the Honorary Aristocrat. However, the problem was that Fang Han was a very loyal person. Hong Dali had given him a martial arts secret manual previously and Fang Han had been thinking of ways to return the favor since then. Now that Dali was in danger, there was no way he would betray him for his own safety!

Since he was a member of the Fang Family, no matter how serious the Honorary Aristocrats were, he would at most sustain some bodily harm. His life should not be at stake.

Xue Ji, who was in the crowd, was of the same mind as Fang Han. She took in the situation and took a few small steps backward while no one was paying attention to her and waited till the crowd blocked her from view. Then, she hurriedly called Tang Muxin. "Xinxin, where are you? There are some people here making trouble for you. Run! They are from a powerful background and we cannot afford to offend them. Brother Fang is trying his best to stall for time!"

From the other end of the communication device, Tang Muxin"s voice could be heard, "Ah, enemies? Our Dali does not have any enemies, does he? Sister Xue Ji, don"t be anxious. It might be a misunderstanding. We will be right down!"

Xue Ji was even more anxious now. "Do not come down. There will be more trouble if you come down!"

"Don"t worry. It"ll be okay." Tang Muxin hung up the communication device without waiting for Xue Ji"s reply.

"Xinxin, what"s happening?" Hong Dali laid on Li Nianwei"s thigh and asked, "I heard you say something about trouble. What happened?"

Tang Muxin replied, "Sister Xue Ji said that there are some people here to create trouble for you, but Big Brother Fang Han stopped them. Dali, we don"t have any enemies here, do we?"

"I don"t think so." Hong Dali thought about it. "There is only Yin Tianzong, but we are friends now. Who else could there be?"

"Whatever." Hong Dali sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Let"s go down and take a look. Lackeys, let"s go downstairs and play with Big Brother Fang Han!"

"Okay!"

…

In front of the warehouse doors.

"I"ll ask one more time. Is Hong Dali here or not?!" Feiyun asked coldly of Fang Han, who was standing in front of him. As he asked, he stretched out his hand and gave him another slap!

"I don"t know!" Fang Han gritted his teeth. No matter what Young Master Feiyun asked, his reply was the same. "I don"t know!"

Everyone else broke out in cold sweat. No one dared make a sound.

"You"re a stubborn one." Feiyun chuckled icily and suddenly said to the crowd, "That lady over there. I think you were pa.s.sing a message just now. You"ve got guts." As he spoke, he motioned to the guard next to him. "Bring her over."

"Xue Ji!" Fang Han"s eyes narrowed and he shouted, "It"s none of her business. Don"t touch her!"

"Don"t? Hahaha!" Feiyun roared with laughter. "Do I need your permission to touch someone? Huh?" He used real force this time. His right fist balled up and he aimed a punch directly at Fang Han"s chest!

"Pow!" Fang Han"s body flew backward, fresh blood spewing everywhere.

"Oh?" Feiyun had put quite a lot of force into this punch. With his power, that punch would definitely have broken some bones if it hit an ordinary person. However, there was no sound of any bones breaking. Feiyun stroked his chin and suddenly laughed. "Well, well, well, it seems that you have learned some martial arts. What is your level now?"

"Cough, cough." Fang Han stood up with much difficulty. He lowered his head and answered in a low voice, "Apprentice… Fifth Order."

"Hahaha. Fifth Order Apprentice?" After hearing Fang Han"s reply, Young Master Feiyun immediately started laughing. "You are only a Fifth Order Apprentice at such an advanced age? It"s true, I guess. Fifth Order Apprentice is probably the limit for a useless commoner. Hahaha!"

Fang Han"s fists clenched tight when he heard Feiyun"s mocking. His eyes reddened and his teeth clenched tight enough to break metal, but he ultimately managed to control himself.

The difference, the difference was simply too great!

The other side was an Honorary Aristocrat. In the entire Shenluo City, they only had to bow down to the Jiang Family and the Yin Family! The Fang Family was an influential family, but compared to the Aristocrats, they were as weak as ants.

"Well, well, well, the look in your eyes troubles me." Feiyun stared intently at Fang Han"s eyes and mocked coldly. "Well? Do you want to hit me?"

"Young man." At this time, Yi Tie, who had been watching from the side smilingly reminded him. "Attacking an Honorary Aristocrat is akin to rebelling. Even if you are from the Fang Family, you will not be spared. Last night, Fang Wei or whatever his name was, offended Young Master Tianzong and had all his limbs broken. You should know the consequences."

"Un… understand…" Fang Hand deliberated for a long while before lowering his tightly clenched fist. "I do not dare to attack you, my Lord!"

"Hahaha! Very obedient!" Feiyun started laughing maniacally. Fang Han had performed very satisfactorily. He walked over and gave Fang Han a kick which sent him flying a distance back. He laughed and said, "You hold up quite well. Frankly, I was hoping you would attack me. That way, no matter what I do to you, it would be within reason. What a waste. Haha!"

Fang Han stood up silently, his eyes red.

"Well, you are really stubborn, I like people such as you." Feiyun laughed sinisterly and walked toward him. "Unfortunately, you made me very angry just now and now I"m in a very bad mood. However, I am magnanimous and will give you one more chance. Is Hong Dali here or not?"

"I don"t know!" Fang Han"s reply was still the same!

"You chose to take the hard way out!" Feiyun raged. This time he was prepared to use his full strength. If this punch connected, even if Fang Han did not die, he would be bedridden for at least half a year!

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd and a row of people slowly walked out from the warehouse!

Aristocrat.Dali!

"Earlier, I heard that Big Brother Fang Han was having some trouble. It seems I have come too late." Hong Dali"s face was darker than midnight. "Have you thought about the consequences of your actions?"

"Consequences?" Seeing that his target had finally appeared, Feiyun turned toward Hong Dali and laughed out loud. "The consequence is that I managed to lure you out. So what? Do you want to fight me? You are Hong Dali, correct? I know you are a string-puller who became an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat by means of your connections. I also know you must have some very powerful backing. After all, a string-puller wouldn"t have directly become an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat if you did not have substantial backing. However…" Here, he smiled and looked at Hong Dali. "So what? There are rules in every organization. Although you are an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat and is one level above me, I have the right to challenge you! Shall we pit our skills against each other?"

"You are very brave." Hong Dali"s voice was icy cold. "Frankly speaking, I rarely get angry. But when I do, I scare even myself. Congratulations, you have succeeded."

As he spoke, he walked toward Fang Han. When he reached Fang Han, he stretched out his hand and smiled. "Big Brother Fang Han, I"m sorry to have implicated you."

"I"m okay." Fang Han wanted to grip Hong Dali"s hand tightly but then quickly withdrew his hand. He looked dazed at Hong Dali"s trench coat and muttered, "So the orange-level Honorary Aristocrat the higher-ups were talking about is you, Dali… I… how can I let you pull me up…?"

"Big Brother Fang Han, you are not such a wishy-washy person." Hong Dali suddenly ginned. His smile was warmer than the sunlight in the sky. "We are brothers! When I first got here, it was Big Brother Fang Han who took care of me. You even found me such an easy job.

"No matter what I become, we… will always be brothers!"

No matter what, no matter when, we are brothers!

"Brothers!" The pain in Fang Han"s body seemed to have vanished. He gave Hong Dali a fierce hug and said loudly, "Brothers! For life!"

"That goes without saying!" Hong Dali replied, smiling.

Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and everyone else watching had tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in their eyes. Tang Muxin muttered, "Dali is making me cry."

Li Nianwei lightly dabbed at the corner of her eye and said, smiling, "It is rather windy today."

At this point in time, Levis, who had been acting as Hong Dali"s bodyguard all this while, watched Hong Dali and Fang Han locked in a fierce embrace and muttered, "Brother, I have followed a good master…"

This was originally a warm and happy scene, but there was always someone who loved to spoil the atmosphere.

"Well, well, well." Feiyun returned to stand next to Yi Tie and the other two red-level Honorary Aristocrats. He huffed disdainfully. "What a cliche scene. Hahaha. It"s so funny! Claiming to be brothers with a lowly commoner, even I will feel embarra.s.sed for you if it gets out. Birds of a feather flock together. It seems Hong Dali, you really are just a string-puller. I suppose your cloak might have been gotten by unmentionable means? Hahaha!"
