Chapter 144: Chapter 144: They Can’t Compare with Me

People turned their heads one after another to look.

A young man, wearing a designer watch and sporting earrings, walked over accompanied by two bodyguards.

Seeing this, no one dared to delay; they hurriedly cleared the way in front of Chen Fan and went up to greet him.

’Mr. Lu, it has indeed been a long time, you’ve become more impressive.’

’Mr. Lu, you’ve taken the trouble to come from the Provincial City to Jiang City, how do you find the air here?’

...

Chen Fan frowned and stared at the man, asking Lu Jinyuan, ’Who is he?’

Lu Jinyuan said, ’This man is Lu Siyu, the eldest young master of the pharmaceutical giant, the Lu Corporation, from the Provincial City.’

’The Lu family has hit a bottleneck in the pharmaceutical industry, so they want to get a foothold in real estate. The competitor I mentioned before is him.’

Chen Fan nodded, ’No wonder this guy is so aggressive as soon as he starts talking.’

Lu Siyu glanced at Chen Fan, sneered and looked towards Lu Jinyuan, ’Boss Lu, you actually mix with clowns like this, seems like your vision isn’t that great, eh? And you still think of competing with our Lu family?’

Lu Jinyuan’s face darkened, ’Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen has real skills, please show some respect!’

Lu Siyu chuckled, ’Blowing his own trumpet, is that the real skill you’re talking about? If every guy like him counts as a Martial Arts master, then wouldn’t my two bodyguards become Martial Arts Alliance Hierarchs?’

Quite a few people laughed.

The Lu family’s power was immense, and Chen Fan was merely a topic of their casual conversation.

Between Chen Fan and the Lu family, they naturally inclined more towards flattering the Lu family.

Chen Fan fixed his gaze on Lu Siyu, ’Don’t mistake your ignorance for a point of pride.’

Lu Siyu’s face chilled, ’I didn’t expect you to be so full of yourself. Since you’re so confident, how about daring to fight with my bodyguards?’

’They aren’t anything special, just mercenaries who have retired from overseas; together they’ve only killed just over a hundred terrorists. Surely that’s no match for you, a Martial Arts master, right?’

Everyone was taken aback, and their view of the two bodyguards suddenly changed.

’These are real tough guys who have faced death, not something that can be compared with the flowery forms of Martial Arts,’ someone commented.

In some people’s opinion, Martial Arts were more about performance and lacked killing power.

But Chen Fan said lightly, ’Indeed, they are no match for me.’

Lu Siyu laughed loudly, ’I think you’re not only bluffing but also stupid! People like you are my least favorite!’

’Da, Er, show him some color!’

The two bodyguards sneered, their fists clenched as they walked towards Chen Fan.

’Kid, we have mastered the art of killing. If you feel you’re about to die, beg quickly, don’t say I didn’t warn you!’

Da said a word, then threw a sideways kick aimed at Chen Fan’s ribs.

People exclaimed, ’So fast!’

Chen Fan shook his head lightly, ’Too slow.’

He casually lifted his hand, grabbed Da’s ankle, and gave it a forceful toss backward.

Da spun three hundred and sixty degrees in midair.

Thud!

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

Da’s body twisted, screaming in agony.

Er was startled and immediately wanted to retreat.

Chen Fan slapped him across the face.

Smack!

Er lost his balance, and his head hit the ground before his body; he passed out in the blink of an eye.

Just two simple moves.

The two bodyguards, who claimed to have killed over a hundred terrorists, were now incapacitated.

Chen Fan clapped his hands, "Send them to the hospital now, and they might just save their lives."

The private room fell into silence; everyone even dared not breathe loudly.

Lu Siyu looked at Chen Fan in shock, then quickly shouted towards the outside, "Waiter! Call an ambulance quick!"

After the two bodyguards were taken away, Lu Siyu returned to the private room with a gloomy face and gave Chen Fan a fierce glare, "Just a martial artist, what’s there to be proud of!"

Chen Fan ignored him.

Lu Jinyuan smiled and corrected, "A Martial Arts master."

Lu Siyu snorted coldly and dared not retort.

"Mayor Jiang is here!" someone shouted at that moment.

Everyone straightened their clothes and respectfully took their positions.

A middle-aged man, dressed simply and with an amiable face, walked in accompanied by two assistants.

This man was none other than Jiang Mingzhe, the Mayor of Provincial City.

Jiang Mingzhe took his usual seat in the main chair and said lightly, "Everyone, please sit down."

A group of people sat down around the round table.

Jiang Mingzhe scanned the crowd, his gaze landing on Chen Fan, "And who is this?"

Lu Jinyuan quickly introduced, "This is Chen Fan, the Martial Arts master who recently defeated Huang Tianba at the peak of Cloud Mountain."

Jiang Mingzhe smiled, then nodded without saying much.

The drinking began, and everyone was jovial, all focused on Mayor Jiang.

The main purpose of today’s banquet was to decide the ownership of plot number three in the city center, with only Lu Jinyuan and Lu Siyu capable of competing for it.

For Mayor Jiang, it didn’t make much difference which of the two got the land.

Hence Lu Jinyuan was well aware that whoever could please Mayor Jiang today would get the land.

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Jinyuan felt the timing was right and took out a brocade box that he had brought with him.

"Mayor Jiang, this is a sacred Buddha that I specifically had requested from Lingyin Temple. It has been consecrated by the temple’s abbot and is said to ensure one’s safety and stabilize their fortune. Please consider it a small token of my sincerity."

He opened the brocade box, revealing the gold-plated Buddha statue inside.

At that moment, everyone in the private room felt much better.

Chen Fan glanced at the Buddha statue and noticed the spiritual energy swirling around it; it indeed seemed to be an extraordinary object.

Lu Siyu furrowed his brows, "How is this bastard so lucky? I begged at Lingyin Temple and couldn’t get one, how did he manage it?"

Lu Jinyuan placed the sacred Buddha in front of Mayor Jiang, confidently glancing at Lu Siyu.

But the smile on Mayor Jiang’s face vanished in an instant, and with a wave of his hand, he flung the brocade box onto the floor.

The Buddha’s head hit the ground and broke off on the spot.

"What I hate most in my daily life is this kind of feudal superstition. What are you implying by giving me this stuff?" Mayor Jiang said coldly.

Lu Jinyuan’s face turned pale, "Mayor... Mayor Jiang, I had no idea, please calm down, I’ll throw this thing out right now."

Saying this, he picked up the broken head and body of the Buddha and threw them outside.

Lu Siyu couldn’t help but laugh, "Lu Jinyuan is really unlucky, running straight into the line of fire. Now plot number three is definitely going to the Lu Family!"

Thinking this, he took out a bottle that looked like a piece of art, filled with clear liquid.

"Mayor Jiang, Boss Lu does such big business, yet he still engages in feudal superstition, it’s somewhat foolish. My Lu Clan certainly wouldn’t make such a mistake."

"This bottle contains the Water of Life, newly developed by my Lu Clan. It is rich in minerals and nutrients, immensely beneficial to the human body. If consumed regularly, it can extend one’s life and prevent all diseases."

"I’ve specifically brought a few bottles for you to try."

Lu Siyu poured Mayor Jiang a cup of the Water of Life.

Mayor Jiang took a sip and his eyes lit up, "There’s something to this water of yours, indeed. One sip and it feels refreshing and invigorating."
