Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 484: I Have a Video I Want to Sell to You
Chapter 484: Chapter 484: I Have a Video I Want to Sell to You
Xiao Che’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and then he became more confident, sneering as he said, "What did I say? I knew my dad would definitely come to save me!"
He glared at Chen Fan, his aura fierce, "If I’m not mistaken, my dad must have given you a good beating, right? This is entirely your own doing. If you had considered my dad’s face and been nice to me from the start, you wouldn’t have ended up like this today."
"Let me tell you, the hardships you’ve put us through these past few days, I’ll definitely pay back. Once my dad sees my miserable state now, he will surely be heartbroken. If he gets furious, even breaking your legs would be letting you off easy, but you’ll just have to take it because you provoked me!"
"Alright, where’s my dad? Hurry up and take me to him!"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Xiao Che like this.
Xiao Che immediately glared at him, "You still have the face to laugh! Wait till we’re in front of my dad and see if you still can!"
Chen Fan nodded, "Alright, no more laughter. Your dad is right in the yard, come with me."
After that, he turned and walked out.
Xiao Che followed with his head held high.
The five Divine Realm experts sensed something was off, feeling that if Xiao Zhantian really had taught Chen Fan a lesson for Xiao Che’s sake, Chen Fan wouldn’t look the way he did. They suspected there was something else going on that they hadn’t anticipated.
However, they didn’t say much and followed them out.
The group arrived together in the main courtyard.
Upon seeing Xiao Zhantian, Xiao Che immediately showed a pitiful face, wiping away tears and snot as he complained, "Dad, you’re finally here to save me. You have no idea what I’ve been through these past few days. Chen Fan, that bastard, almost tortured me to death. You must stand up for me..."
He approached Xiao Zhantian, thinking that his father would surely be heartbroken to see him looking like this and would immediately hug him, and then with a thunderous approach deal with Chen Fan to avenge his precious son.
"Everything is going as I predicted, Chen Fan, you’re finished!" Xiao Che thought delightedly.
The next second, Xiao Zhantian raised his huge palm and slapped Xiao Che across the face, sending him flying four or five meters away.
"I don’t have such a useless son. Don’t call me ’dad’ ever again!"
The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.
The five Divine Realm experts stood at attention, realizing that the situation wasn’t as simple as they had imagined.
Xiao Che, his head spinning and seeing stars, took a good while to recover before climbing up from the ground.
He covered his face, looking incredulously at his own father, "Dad, why did you hit me? It’s me who’s been bullied; shouldn’t you be getting angry on my behalf..."
Xiao Zhantian snorted coldly, "You’re being bullied because you’re incompetent, and you think I don’t know anything? It’s clear you’ve brought this on yourself. Where do you get the nerve to ask me to stand up for you!"
Xiao Che glanced at Chen Fan, realizing that Chen Fan must have told Xiao Zhantian everything, but he still looked defiant, "It’s true, I did some things wrong, but I am your son, after all! Dad, you’re a big shot in the Divine Covenant, are you really afraid of a minor character like Chen Fan?"
Then Chen Fan stepped forward, chuckling, "Let me make it clear first, I’m now a partner of the Divine Covenant. You’d better watch your words. If you say anything that displeases me, I might just stop cooperating with the Divine Covenant."
Elder Lingxi hurriedly spoke to Xiao Che, "Xiao Che, stop looking for trouble. Apologize to your Uncle Chen Fan right away, and let’s put this matter to rest."
Xiao Che’s eyes widened, "Uncle... Chen Fan?"
Elder Lingxi’s words almost made Chen Fan laugh along; he thought to himself that Elder Lingxi really knew how to flatter someone. To keep me from retracting my cooperation deal, he readily offered me a higher status.
Even Xiao Zhantian chimed in, "Chen Fan calls me ’big brother,’ so indeed, you should call him ’Uncle’. Apologize to your Uncle Chen Fan now, or I’ll break your legs this instant!"
Xiao Che was completely dumbfounded; he was several years older than Chen Fan, yet now he had to call Chen Fan ’Uncle’, something that would be hard for anyone to accept.
But it was clear to him that Chen Fan must have offered some significant benefits to the Divine Covenant, or else Elder Lingxi and his dad wouldn’t be protecting Chen Fan like this.
He knew that if he didn’t apologize today, it was very likely that his dad would indeed break his legs.
Reluctantly, he lowered his head in front of Chen Fan and muttered, "I’m sorry."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Sorry to whom?"
Through gritted teeth, Xiao Che said, "Uncle Chen Fan, I’m sorry."
Chen Fan laughed heartily, patted his head, and said, "No worries, no worries. It’s normal for kids to make mistakes. Just be a little wiser in the future, and you must remember Uncle’s teachings, alright?"
Xiao Che experienced the greatest humiliation of his life, but he dare not show any dissent and merely nodded at Chen Fan.
Xiao Zhantian felt embarrassed, but cleared his throat and said, "Chen Fan, since our partnership is established, we won’t impose any further. I need to go back and discipline this boy, so we’ll take our leave."
With that, he grabbed Xiao Che by the ear and, amid Xiao Che’s cries of pain, left the Mu Mansion.
Elder Lingxi also let out a chuckle and gave Chen Fan a cupped fist salute, saying, "I’ll have someone send you the information about the Ye Family as soon as possible. Technically, there’s no rule saying you must undertake this task immediately, but we still hope you can head to the Ye Family as soon as possible to find the evidence. That way, we can eradicate the cancer of the Ye Family sooner rather than later and prevent them from harming others."
Chen Fan nodded and then replied with a smile, "Elder Lingxi, please hold on for a moment."
Elder Lingxi looked puzzled and asked, "Is there something else?"
Chen Fan revealed a mischievous smile and called out loudly, "Qingqing!"
Mu Qingqing immediately walked out from the room inside.
Elder Lingxi glanced at Mu Qingqing. Although he didn’t know what Chen Fan was planning by calling this girl out, a sense of unease inexplicably rose within him.
Chen Fan took Mu Qingqing’s cellphone and then walked over to Elder Lingxi, saying with a smile, "Elder, I have a video here that I’d like to sell to you."
Elder Lingxi said, "That’s all stuff for you young people. I don’t even watch films, let alone videos. I’m not buying."
Chen Fan said, "Maybe you should watch the video first before you decide whether to buy it or not."
After saying that, he found the video that Mu Qingqing had recorded earlier and played it for Elder Lingxi.
Elder Lingxi thought to himself that he had lived for so many years and seen all sorts of things; a video was surely nothing spectacular.
However, as soon as he saw the contents of the video, his eyes bulged out instantly.
He quickly stretched out his hand to snatch the cellphone from Chen Fan, but Chen Fan easily dodged.
"If I’m not mistaken, if this video gets out, it could be a devastating blow to the Divine Covenant. So, Elder, are you interested in buying my video now?" Chen Fan asked with a grin.
Elder Lingxi immediately realized that the young man was looking to take advantage of the Divine Covenant. Angrily, he asked, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Chen Fan held up a finger.
Elder Lingxi said, "One million? Fine, I will personally cover the cost. Just delete the video."
Chen Fan waved his hand, "What I mean is, ten billion, and I’ll delete the video right away."
Elder Lingxi cursed loudly, "Ten billion? Are you trying to rob me?"
Chen Fan said with a smile, "Elder, that’s not right of you to say. Didn’t the Divine Covenant want to rob my Formation earlier? Asking for some compensation should be reasonable, right? Of course, if you don’t mind how much impact the video would have on the Divine Covenant if it gets out, you don’t need to pay. I won’t force you."
Elder Lingxi’s face darkened as he thought to himself that this was no different than being coerced!
"Can it be cheaper?" he tentatively asked.
Chen Fan shook his head, "The price is set."
Elder Lingxi could only painfully agree, "Fine, ten billion it is. I’ll have them transfer the money to you when I get back; now delete the video."
Chen Fan said with a smile, "That won’t do. I need to see the money before I delete the video."
Elder Lingxi clenched his teeth and cursed Chen Fan’s ancestors eighteen generations in his mind before finally swinging his sleeve fiercely and saying, "Once I get back, I’ll apply to the headquarters and have the money sent to you."
After saying this, he turned and left, as if he couldn’t bear to stay with Chen Fan for even a second longer.
Mu Qingqing watched Chen Fan wide-eyed and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you have me record the video just to sell it for money?"
Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "The Divine Covenant put a lot of pressure on the Mu Family earlier. It’s only right that we charge them a spirit damage fee. Keep the video safe and delete it once the money from the Divine Covenant has been received."
After everyone from the Divine Covenant had left, Chen Fan called Mu Tianxiong, Zhong Xinyao, Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Taiyi, Guan Xiaotian and others to tell them about the collaboration with the Divine Covenant and how he had successfully extorted ten billion from them.
Everyone was surprised. They couldn’t believe that Chen Fan had managed to stand up to the people from the Divine Covenant and even take ten billion from them.
From then on, Chen Fan truly became a divine figure in their eyes.
The next day, Chen Fan received the information about the Ye Family as well as the ten billion for the video from Elder Lingxi.
After looking through the information, Chen Fan learned that the son-in-law he was supposed to impersonate was named Lin Yang, who had no family background, lived a life of poverty and destitution, and was only married off to a minor branch miss of the Ye Family to cure an illness through a superstitious ritual. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
He looked at Lin Yang’s photo and found that the man indeed bore some resemblance to himself, which made him reflect for a moment.
He, too, had been a son-in-law, had been bullied, but unlike Lin Yang, he was not so lucky to inherit his father’s legacy, defy fate and change his life; instead, Lin Yang lived a life of mediocrity until his death.
When Elder Lingxi asked Chen Fan to prepare for action, he had told him to meet with the Divine Covenant and discuss the specifics first. Chen Fan said he would, and casually invited Elder Lingxi to dinner, which was mercilessly rejected by Elder Lingxi.
That afternoon, Chen Fan was planning to visit the Divine Covenant to discuss the mission with Xiao Zhantian and Elder Lingxi, but he unexpectedly received a call from his mother.
