"I don't need your help. I can handle this completely on my own. I don't care who you are, but I hope you stay away, or it won't end well for anyone!" Xiao Yefeng said, his eyes fixed on Abel without flinching.
"Do you know what the price is for speaking to me like that in Europe?" Abel's expression turned cold, clearly ready to retaliate.
"I only know that the last person who spoke to me like this has already met their end!" Xiao Yefeng replied with a smile.
The phrase "met their end" left Abel puzzled, but it made everyone else laugh, including the Two Goddesses behind Xiao Yefeng. Mei Mo'er laughed so hard she nearly trembled, while Liu Yiyi, the icy beauty, rarely smiled, but when she did, it was like a snow lotus blooming. In that moment, Abel was momentarily lost in thought.
As Abel gazed at Liu Yiyi's smile, he thought to himself, "Ah, my faith! This woman is the lover I've always dreamed of. If only I could marry her, I would give everything!"
However, at that moment, Liu Yiyi was being pulled away by Mei Mo'er. Seeing this, Abel instinctively moved to chase after them, but a strong hand suddenly grasped his wrist. Xiao Yefeng warned him, "I advise you not to come any closer; otherwise, you'll be the one meeting your end!"
"What do you mean by 'meeting your end'? I won't accept that! Let go of me!" Abel shouted as he tried to pull Xiao Yefeng away.
A chilling breeze swept through the air. Although Xiao Yefeng had not yet activated his Yin-Yang Eye, Zhang Chuanhai, who resided within him, suddenly let out an angry roar. A dense aura of coldness surged from Xiao Yefeng's body and struck down an invisible bat hovering nearby.
Realizing what was happening, Xiao Yefeng silently recited Heart Decision and activated his Yin-Yang Eye. He noticed that Abel had begun to change; a faint crimson mist seemed to envelop him. At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai held a blood-red bat about the size of a thumb in his hand. The bat twisted and appeared ready to bite Zhang Chuanhai. With a swift motion, Zhang Chuanhai crushed it with a snap; the bat dissolved into a cloud of blood mist that returned to Abel.
Xiao Yefeng looked at Abel, who was now staring back at him in shock. As Xiao Yefeng held onto Abel's hand, a Blood Bat lunged at his wrist. Xiao Yefeng released his grip and swiftly countered with an invisible Psychic Blade that sliced through the Blood Bat. Unlike Zhang Chuanhai's eerie energy that crushed it, the Psychic Blade cleaved the Blood Bat into blood mist that evaporated into thin air.
With the Blood Bat gone, Abel took two steps back and warily eyed Xiao Yefeng as the blood mist around him gradually receded to his skin's surface, seemingly afraid of being obliterated again by Xiao Yefeng.
Meanwhile, those in the hall only saw a confrontation brewing between Xiao Yefeng and Abel; they exchanged blows before quickly retreating. Huangfu Rui, an ordinary person but aware of some matters due to his family background, stepped forward between them as he noticed Abel retreating.
Though Huangfu Rui was just an ordinary person among extraordinary individuals in his family, he understood who Abel was—one of the strongest members of the Ferrad Family. According to Chinese power rankings, Abel was at least at the Peak of Bright Strength level. The sudden appearance of this man forcing back Abel raised questions about his identity. Regardless of the situation, Huangfu Rui knew he couldn't let them fight; otherwise, he would offend the Ferrad Family and jeopardize their collaboration.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen! This isn't a place for fighting. May I ask who this gentleman is?" Huangfu Rui said with a smile as he shifted his demeanor from earlier.
The smile on his face diffused much of the tension in the air. At that moment, those who already knew Xiao Yefeng's identity gathered around him. The Ferrad Family held a prestigious position, but the families from Huaxia were not necessarily intimidated, as international families often had their own standing. The Ferrad Family was among the elite, yet they were not isolated, especially with the two other Young Masters leading their entourage to this place.
"This is the master of the Southern Sun Group, Young Master Xiao Yefeng!" Mu Yang stepped forward, introducing Xiao Yefeng in a way that made it seem as if they had been friends for ages.
Upon hearing the name of the Solar Group, Abel finally emerged from the corner where he had been overlooked. He glared fiercely at Xiao Yefeng and declared, "I don't care who you are; if you obstruct my proposal today, I will consider you a rival. Do you dare to duel me?"
Seeing Abel's agitation, Xiao Yefeng could tell from his expression that this seemingly impulsive challenge was far from innocent. However, with everyone watching, there was no way for Xiao Yefeng to back down, nor did he need to; he had come with this very purpose in mind!
"Alright! You set the time and place!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
At that moment, Hong Yan reached out and pulled Xiao Yefeng aside, warning him, "Bro, this Abel is not an ordinary person; you need to be careful!"
Turning to look at Hong Yan, who dressed in a somewhat post-modern style, Xiao Yefeng felt that he fit his criteria for friendship. It was clear that Hong Yan understood Xiao Yefeng's past and was aware of his identity as a Geomancer. Despite the risk of offending Abel, Hong Yan still stepped forward to offer his advice, which touched Xiao Yefeng somewhat.
"Don't worry! I've been wanting to meet these Western Extraordinary Persons for a while!" Xiao Yefeng said with a smile.
"Good! Ming Fierce Tiger Fighting Club! Five o'clock this afternoon; I'll be waiting for you. I want you to understand the price of offending a Western gentleman!" Abel said, his body surrounded by a Blood Mist as his blue eyes narrowed coldly.
"I'm all in!" Xiao Yefeng extended his fist and lightly tapped it against Abel's, sealing their duel agreement.
After signing the pact with a fist bump, Abel flicked his golden waves of hair and turned to leave. Meanwhile, Huangfu Rui stood between them, glancing at both Xiao Yefeng and Abel. Weighing the pros and cons, Huangfu Rui chose to side with Abel and abandon this suddenly appearing young powerhouse. He knew this choice was significant; observing everyone in the hall revealed that they were all watching closely. The Yang and Mu families clearly sided with this young strongman, leaving Huangfu Rui to decide whether to align himself with everyone or stand alone.
"Mr. Abel, wait for me!" Huangfu Rui called out as he chased after him.
Huangfu Rui's choice had already been anticipated by Yang Qingfeng and Mu Yang. With Huangfu Rui leaving, it did not hinder these two from befriending Xiao Yefeng. Just because others were unaware did not mean these two Young Masters were ignorant. As descendants of the Four Great Families of China, they understood that interacting with extraordinary individuals like Ancient Warriors and Geomancers was crucial. The brief encounter between Xiao Yefeng and Abel had not gone unnoticed by Yang Qingfeng and Mu Yang.
The Four Great Families maintained their foothold in Huaxia for good reason; the Liu Family had the young master Lu Zhan residing with them while also secretly aiding several declining Ancient Martial Arts Families. This combination of Lu Zhan's lineage and support from these Ancient Martial Arts Families helped solidify the Liu Family's position.
The Yang Mu family and the Liu Family were quite similar; both secretly funded several Ancient Martial Arts Families or declining sects. These Ancient Warriors became the foundation for the large families, and both families had their own resident Geomancer.
The Huangfu Family was the odd one out among the four. The Huangfu Family was itself a Geomancer family, and for some reason, Geomancers generally did not have large enterprises. However, the Huangfu Family was an exception; since its founding, it relied on Feng Shui Techniques to thrive. Over time, their descendants flourished, with each generation producing outstanding Geomancers who were renowned figures in the field of Feng Shui. This generation, represented by Huangfu Rui, lacked the Geomancer talent, which is why he had to turn to business and sought to ally with Abel.
In this generation of the Huangfu Family, there were two individuals without Geomancer abilities: one was Huangfu Rui and the other was his brother, Huangfu Jing. Huangfu Jing was superior to Huangfu Rui in many aspects, which prompted Huangfu Rui to reach out internationally.
Xiao Yefeng was aware of all this information. After Abel left in disappointment, Xiao Yefeng had gotten acquainted with Yang Qingfeng and Mu Yang. The four of them sat together on a sofa in a corner, and Xiao Yefeng understood that these two had their own motives for getting to know him, leading to a rather gloomy atmosphere among the three of them along with Hong Yan.
"Young Master Xiao! This Abel is not simple!" Mu Yang said, trying to break the silence.
"Exactly! I’ve heard that this foreigner has some abilities!" Yang Qingfeng chimed in. In truth, both of them were just stating the obvious; anyone sitting here could have figured that out!
"We're all open-eyed people. I, Hong Yan, am not good at your kind of talk, so I'll be straightforward. I’ve received some new intelligence: this Abel is a Western Ability user who can control some red gas. I have a short video!" Hong Yan pressed a button on his wristwatch screen, and a video appeared.
The video caught Xiao Yefeng's attention, and Yang Mu and the others leaned in curiously to watch. It turned out to be very brief—only three seconds long—showing Abel surrounded by a cloud of Blood Mist that transformed into a streak of light shooting off into the distance. After watching it twice, Yang Qingfeng remarked, "Western Ability users can really do anything; what’s the use of that?"
After a brief conversation, Xiao Yefeng felt he had gotten to know them better. He then said, "I see that neither of you are ordinary people. Young Master Yang walks silently; clearly, you have practiced footwork. And Young Master Mu has strong wrists; although hidden in his sleeves, there’s an unmistakable sound of wind when he moves them. Your boxing skills must be impressive. It seems both of you are Ancient Warriors!"
These observations were made by Xiao Yefeng without any prior knowledge from documents. Upon hearing his words, Yang Qingfeng and Mu Yang exchanged glances filled with astonishment before responding, "Young Master Xiao is quite perceptive. To be honest, you are the first person of our generation who has seen through our Ancient Martial Arts training methods."
