Hearing these words, both Ye Fan and Liu Piaoxu frowned.
Liu Yuan, dressed in a white suit and with his hair neatly styled, walked over slowly with a few women.
These women were heavily made up, and it was obvious they were not decent.
"Liu Yuan likes to bring women with him when he goes out, and these women are all carefully selected and cultivated by him. They not only serve as his companions but also as bodyguards, and they are quite skilled," Liu Piaoxu whispered.
Ye Fan was slightly taken aback, turned to glance at him, and then his gaze fell back on Liu Yuan.
There were so many strange people in this world. He hadn't expected the eldest young master of the Liu family to have such peculiar tastes.
"Who is it? Oh, it's the idiot from the Liu family. I just taught him a lesson, and he still has the nerve to show up in front of me?" Ye Fan said with a disdainful cold snort, looking at Liu Yuan mockingly.
Since he had already fallen out with the Liu family, it was either you die or I live. Therefore, Ye Fan naturally wouldn't be polite to Liu Yuan.
Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Liu Yuan's expression turned grim. His eyes, filled with anger, quickened his pace and he looked coldly at Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, you will not have a good end if you provoke my Liu family. Today, I will make sure you are ruined here."
Previously, Ye Fan had sneaked into the Liu family and caught them off guard, allowing him to bring Liu Piaoxu back safely. If he had stormed into the Liu family openly, the outcome would have been uncertain. However, Liu Yuan dared not make a move on Ye Fan directly here.
Therefore, Ye Fan was not afraid at all. Moreover, even if they were to fight, Ye Fan might not necessarily lose to Liu Yuan.
"Who is this mad dog barking around here? Do you really think you're someone important? You look like a person, but you're just a stupid pig." Jiang Zhitao immediately cursed. As a scion of a wealthy family, he would naturally not compromise on such matters. Especially since Liu Yuan dared to insult Ye Fan, Jiang Zhitao found it even more unbearable.
"Someone, slap him." It was one thing to be insulted by Ye Fan, as Ye Fan had a reputation, and there were deep-seated conflicts with the Liu family. But what was Jiang Zhitao compared to them? He was merely from a small family, like an ant in front of a behemoth like the Liu family. How could he tolerate this?
Hearing Liu Yuan's command, a slightly plump and muscular woman behind him quickly stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Jiang Zhitao.
The moment the woman raised her hand, Ye Fan had already made his move. As the woman's palm was about to touch Jiang Zhitao, Ye Fan suddenly grabbed him and exerted force. The woman, caught off guard, stumbled forward and fell hard onto the ground.
The commotion here had already alerted others nearby, who all looked over. Some busybodies even came to watch, pointing fingers at Ye Fan and his companions.
Jiang Zhitao's eyes darted around, and he wore a regretful expression. He sighed and said, "How could you be so careless? You even fell while walking."
At this moment, Liu Yuan's face was like a dark cloud, his teeth gritted. He had clearly seen Ye Fan's move that night, and the memory of being almost crippled by Ye Fan made him even more enraged.
"Ye Fan, you're seeking death." As his words fell, several young men from not far away walked over and stood behind him.
"What? In this Jiang City, there are still people who dare to oppose the eldest young master of the Liu family? What a bizarre and strange thing." A woman said in a sarcastic tone. This woman had dark skin, her hair dyed in big waves, and wore a tight-fitting purple dress that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure, even being somewhat revealing. The young man beside her sneered, "Nowadays, there are too many people who don't know their limits. Provoking someone from the Dark Alliance will only lead to death." The man, with his hands in his pockets, looked at Ye Fan with deep disdain.
"Hurry up and deal with this kid, don't delay our important matters." Another man narrowed his eyes, his face frosty, his gaze filled with coldness.
"These three are Zhao Danfeng from the Zhao family, Wu Liuding from the Wu family, and Wang Qingfeng from the Wang family. Among the younger generation of the Dark Alliance, they are all outstanding individuals. Their status and position are similar to Liu Yuan's, and compared to that idiot Liu Yuan, these three are much stronger in terms of intellect and strategy." Liu Piaoxu whispered in Ye Fan's ear. As the second-in-command of the Liu family, he knew these three very well and had conducted detailed investigations on them in secret. It could be seen that Liu Piaoxu's scheming was indeed profound.
"So, it's people from the other three families of the Dark Alliance. I didn't expect them to gather so quickly." Ye Fan sneered and then shifted his gaze back to Liu Yuan.
"What? Young Master Liu, do you still want to make a move? If you think you can throw us out, I don't mind playing with you." At this moment, Ye Fan was still provoking Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan's body trembled, and he gritted his teeth. He had come to attend the appraisal fair because he was invited, so he didn't care about causing trouble here. After all, his status dictated that even Zheng Zhilong wouldn't dare to criticize him.
Ye Fan's words made Liu Yuan's anger burn intensely.
"Hit them." Finally, anger overcame reason, and Liu Yuan roared in fury. The women behind him all stepped forward, ready to attack Ye Fan. At this moment, Zheng Zhilong quickly brought his men over and stood in front of the women.
"Young Master Liu, we can negotiate and resolve any issues. Why resort to violence? Today, the Appraisal Fair is being held here, and all the prominent figures of Jiang City have come. Even the City Lord Lin is personally here to support it. If things escalate, it might be difficult to resolve." After all, this was the first major event since he took office as the president of the Antique Association, and Zheng Zhilong naturally didn't want to mess it up.
Looking at Zheng Zhilong's fawning demeanor, Liu Yuan let out a cold snort from his nostrils. "Since President Zheng is intervening, I will naturally give you face. As long as this dog and bitch kneel down and kowtow to apologize, I will let today's matter go." He pointed at Ye Fan and Liu Piaoxu.
Upon hearing his words, Liu Piaoxu's eyes instantly darkened, and a cold killing intent emanated from him. Zheng Zhilong turned around with a wry smile, looked at Ye Fan, and then at Liu Piaoxu. He then said with a cold smile, "Mr. Ye, Miss Liu, you were in the wrong first today. Please apologize to Young Master Liu. Otherwise, if the Appraisal Fair is ruined, everyone present will be implicated by you, and you will become a sinner for all eternity in the Jiang City antique circle." Zheng Zhilong first placed a huge hat of blame on them.
"You, Zheng, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are your eyes blind or is your heart black? Didn't you see that this guy surnamed Liu has been provoking trouble?" Jiang Zhitao roared angrily.
