Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 152 Apology

Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Apology

Yang Lan, who had originally wanted to watch Xue Gang severely beating up Chen Fan, was petrified on the spot.

It took her a good while to react, before she ran over and helped Xue Gang up. "Xue, are you alright?"

Xue Gang’s face was twisted in pain as he warily glanced at Chen Fan, "This kid’s strength must be at least at the Grandmaster Realm, no wonder War God Xiao would invite him, turns out he is a martial arts prodigy."

Yang Lan was indignant, "So what if he’s a martial arts prodigy, that doesn’t give him the right to hit people willy-nilly! This guy really has no manners!"

"I’ll make him apologize to you!"

Xue Gang quickly interjected, "I’m fine, the orders from above are more important, let’s try to talk to him nicely and invite him to the banquet."

Having said that, he stood up from the ground and walked to the front door of the villa.

"About earlier..." Xue Gang was just about to explain.

Yang Lan, furious, interjected: "You are incredibly rude, nothing but a violent thug. I’m asking you one last time, are you going or not to the War Zone’s banquet?"

Chen Fan uttered faintly a single word: "Scram!"

Bang!

The door was slammed shut with force.

Yang Lan screamed hysterically: "What are you so proud of! Just because you can fight, that doesn’t mean anything! Our banquet will go on without you!"

Xue Gang stared at Yang Lan, dumbfounded, "You..."

Yang Lan had a displeased look on her face, "If he’s rude to us, we don’t need to be polite to him."

"It was him who said he wouldn’t go; we can’t be blamed for that."

Xue Gang sighed helplessly, "Alright then."

The two turned around together and went back to their SUV.

On the way back, Xue Gang gradually calmed down and reflected on what had happened, realizing that Chen Fan hadn’t started off with a bad attitude.

It was Yang Lan who had been confrontational from the start, and that’s what had led to the conflict.

He glanced at Yang Lan and said, "That, um... Chen Fan doesn’t seem to have done anything wrong, it was us who were reckless in the beginning."

Yang Lan’s face was full of displeasure, "It was because he wouldn’t open the door for us that I got irritated. If he had come to open the door right away, would I have acted like that?"

Xue Gang ventured carefully, "Perhaps he was taking a bath at that time..."

Yang Lan glared at Xue Gang, "Xue, are you trying to say that I started this?"

Xue Gang hurriedly replied: "No, no, that Chen Fan is indeed a bit too arrogant. But what should we say when we get back?"

Yang Lan shrugged nonchalantly, "Just say he was unreasonable and resorted to hitting people. If the higher-ups knew this is the kind of person he is, they would definitely lose interest in inviting him. After all, the banquet won’t suffer without him."

Xue Gang had no choice but to nod, "Alright, we’ll do it your way."

The two returned to the War Zone and went together to Wei Cheng’s office.

Wei Cheng asked, "So, did you manage to invite Chen Fan?"

Yang Lan stepped forward with an air of grievance, "War King Wei, that Chen Fan is nothing but an arrogant and presumptuous person. We sincerely invited him, but he looked down on our War Zone’s banquet and told us to scram, even hitting Xue in the process."

"We had no choice but to come back,"

Wei Cheng frowned, "The intel says that this Chen Fan is a gentleman of humble and polite character. Why would he treat you like that?"

Yang Lan: "Who knows. War King Wei, this guy just has a bit of talent and he has already become so full of himself. Our War Zone doesn’t need to pay him much respect. Since he doesn’t want to come, we simply won’t invite him. The banquet won’t be missing anything without him."

Wei Cheng’s face went dark right away, "This evening’s banquet was held by War God Xiao precisely to get closer to Chen Fan. If he doesn’t come, what’s the point of having the banquet!"

Yang Lan was dumbfounded, "For... for Chen Fan? What makes that guy so important that the War Zone values him so highly?"

A sense of unease began to climb over Xue Gang.

Wei Cheng looked desperate, "Chen Fan is a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm, just like War God Xiao! Moreover, War God Xiao personally stated that he might not be as strong as Chen Fan, so what right does she have?"

Yang Lan’s face instantly turned pale.

"An enmity with someone of Chen Fan’s stature is no small matter for the War Zone; we must get to the bottom of why he harbors such hostility towards you. If the War Zone has offended him in the past, then we must apologize immediately," Wei Cheng decided.

Xue Gang swallowed, taking a step forward, "Commander... there’s no need for an investigation, actually...."

He glanced at Yang Lan, cursing inwardly at her foolishness. If he didn’t make things clear, he feared he would be implicated as well.

He then recounted the events that had transpired.

After listening, Wei Cheng’s face was ashen.

His eyes bore into Yang Lan as if he wished he could slap this fool to death.

Yang Lan, scared to tears, collapsed to the ground, "I... I had no idea he was so formidable, and it was he who first upset me, causing me to be in a bad mood...."

Wei Cheng scolded, "He opened the door a bit late for you, and that’s enough to upset you? Besides, he was in the middle of showering; was he supposed to come to the door naked?"

"Yang Lan, you really brought your temper as a spoiled young lady to the War Zone!"

Yang Lan didn’t speak, only sobbed heartily.

Wei Cheng said sternly, "Stop crying! Get up and come with me to apologize to Chen Fan. If you can’t obtain his forgiveness, you can just roll back to the Yang Family!"

...

Hillside Villa.

Chen Fan had already changed clothes and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Chen Fan opened his eyes, looking annoyed, "These people really are bothersome."

He went to open the door.

Outside stood Wei Cheng, who hurriedly bowed deeply to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, I am Wei Cheng, a War King from the Jiangbei War Zone. I have come especially to apologize to you. My people have caused you displeasure, and I hope you can forgive us."

He then glared at Yang Lan and Xue Gang standing behind him, "Well, don’t just stand there! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Chen!"

Yang Lan came forward with red-rimmed eyes and bowed to Chen Fan, "I... I’m sorry."

Xue Gang bowed with a fist in palm, "Mr. Chen, we were rash before, please do not take it to heart."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to come to apologize.

A War King was already ranked quite high in the War Zone, and him personally coming to apologize showed sincerity.

Chen Fan was not a petty person, and he stepped aside, "Come on in, then."

Wei Cheng let out a long sigh of relief and shot Yang Lan another fierce glare before they entered the villa.

Xue Gang breathed a silent sigh of relief, "Thank goodness Mr. Chen is not a petty man, otherwise, I might have been dismissed."

Wei Cheng explained their intention for the visit.

Chen Fan felt honored, "For the War Zone to hold a banquet just for me is truly too grand; it really isn’t necessary."

Wei Cheng replied with a smile, "A Martial Arts prodigy like you deserves respect wherever you go; it’s only proper."

Chen Fan nodded, "Then I will accompany you on this visit."

Wei Cheng’s face lit up with excitement, "That would be fantastic!"

Chen Fan glanced at Yang Lan, "However, I don’t want to ride in the same car as her."

Immediately, Wei Cheng ordered, "Yang Lan, you take a taxi back to the War Zone!"

Yang Lan’s lips quivered, nearly bursting into tears right there.
