Volume 1, Chapter 55: The Premier Family of the Magic City? I Shall Slay Them with a Single Palm Strike
"Mr. Yan!"
Lying on the ground and seeing that Yan Fengjia had finally rushed back from Kyoto, Long Yiran felt the massive stone weighing heavily on her heart finally lift.
Although she did not know what other identities Yan Fengjia possessed besides being the young master of the Yan family, she was certain that as long as Yan Fengjia returned, even Tian Boguang would not be taken seriously by him.
"Yan Fengjia?" Tian Boguang looked the young man up and down with a playful smirk. "So you are the one who kidnapped my daughter?"
"You actually dare to show your face. Look at this, it's all because of you that the relationship between my wife and me was almost torn apart. Am I right, Long Yiran?"
Long Yiran struggled to her feet, holding the side of her swollen face, and walked over to Yan Fengjia.
However, just as she was about to speak, Yan Fengjia shot her an icy glare that felt like a sharp blade piercing directly into her heart.
This was the first time she had ever seen killing intent in Yan Fengjia's eyes.
Clearly, she knew what that look from Yan Fengjia represented.
By bringing Tian Boguang along, she had dragged her own family and Gu Qinghan's family into this mess.
"I'll settle accounts with you later," Yan Fengjia said coldly.
With those words, Yan Fengjia stepped forward.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan struggled desperately.
"Let me go, Fengjia. He came looking for you, call the police!"
Neither of them spoke.
Until Yan Fengjia reached the raised platform: "Since you're looking for me, you shouldn't need so many people here. Shall we talk in private?"
Yan Fengjia was suppressing his killing intent, but in Tian Boguang's eyes, this young man was backing down.
He must be begging for mercy, asking him to spare his family and take it out on him alone.
"I'm afraid that won't do. Today, everyone here is a guest of the Tian family."
Tian Boguang smiled and shook his head, pointing at Yan Fengjia. "Don't waste my time. Tell me, where is Xue'er?"
Yan Fengjia furrowed his brows and made his move without hesitation.
With a single stride, his footwork was as fast as lightning, and the two of them were instantly within arm's reach.
"Seeking death?" Seeing that Yan Fengjia dared to strike first, Tian Boguang threw a palm strike.
As their palms collided with a booming sound, Tian Boguang was secretly startled, not expecting the young man's internal energy to be so profound.
He quickly retreated several steps before barely managing to steady his stance.
Seizing the opportunity, Yan Fengjia pulled Gu Qinghan's soft, delicate body into his arms, shielding her like a towering mountain.
"Go to your father's side and take the others away," Yan Fengjia said.
Gu Qinghan's face was full of worry. "Call the police, please. This man is the young master of the Tian family, the top powerhouse of the Modu financial circles. We can't afford to offend them."
"Just the mere Tian family, don't worry," Yan Fengjia said with a reassuring smile, gently flicking the bridge of Gu Qinghan's petite nose.
At that moment, however, an angry reprimand echoed from the entrance.
"What are you doing? This is the young master of the Modu Tian family, here to boost the economic standards of Qinghai City! Show some respect!"
An old man dressed in a traditional Tang suit walked in, followed by a group of people.
It was Tang Xinlong, the president of the Qinghai City Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing Tang Xinlong appear, Yan's father and Gu Cangfeng turned pale with fury.
"Brother Tang, our Yan and Gu families have always been committed to improving the economic well-being of Qinghai City's citizens, and we contribute a substantial amount to the Chamber of Commerce every year."
"Today, simply because his surname is Tian, you deliberately lured us here and allowed a junior to bully us?"
"Brother Yan, what are you talking about?" Tang Xinlong said, his face plastered with a smile. "I'm doing this for everyone's benefit. Mr. Tian is now the master of the Tian family."
"He wants to take this opportunity to network and exchange ideas with the entrepreneurs of Qinghai City. How can you say he's bullying anyone?"
With that, Tang Xinlong cast a flattering look at Tian Boguang.
Clearly, he was aware of the feud between the Tian family and the Yan family.
He wanted to use his status and official position to curry favor with this wealthy benefactor.
Speaking with a booming and solemn voice, Tang Xinlong declared, "I only heard that your ex-convict son, who spent time in prison, had delusions of grandeur like a toad lusting after a swan's meat and kidnapped Mr. Tian's daughter."
"Brother Yan, you know your son's background. A former convict—where does he get the nerve to cross paths with someone from a class your family doesn't belong to?"
"Take my advice: quickly have your ex-convict son hand the person over. Don't make things too ugly. Perhaps I can still put in a good word for you, can't I?"
"A dog leveraging its master's power," Gu Cangfeng sneered. "Tang Xinlong, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, we were the ones who pushed you into this position. That wasn't your attitude back then."
"What? Now that you've found a new master, you've started licking their boots?"
"You..." Tang Xinlong's face turned livid. "Say whatever you want. I'm doing this so everyone can make a fortune. If you go against the current, you'll be the ones suffering in the end."
Finished speaking, Tang Xinlong wanted to show off his authority. He strode right up to Yan Fengjia, radiating the arrogant aura of someone in power.
"You're the ex-convict from the Yan family, aren't you?"
"So young, yet instead of learning properly, you learn to kidnap the daughter of the Tian family?"
"You might be some kind of young master in the Yan family, but let me tell you, in Modu you are a complete nobody. I'm ordering you to hand the person over right now, do you hear me?"
Yan Fengjia let out a cold laugh. "So you're the one who invited my father here to attend this feast?"
Without another word, Yan Fengjia decisively lashed out, grabbing Tang Xinlong by his two-hundred-pound fat neck and lifting him high into the air.
"Let... let go! I am a man of the Tian family now! I am the president of the Qinghai City Chamber of Commerce! Do you want to go back to prison?"
Tang Xinlong struggled violently, looking toward Tian Boguang with a gaze desperate for rescue.
However, Tian Boguang merely watched without saying a word.
"Crack!"
Right in front of everyone, Yan Fengjia directly crushed Tang Xinlong's windpipe and tossed his body aside.
Seeing this, everyone present gasped sharply in horror.
Tang Xinlong, the president of the Qinghai City Chamber of Commerce—killed just like that?
Seeing this, Tang Xinlong's son rushed forward.
Checking his father, he realized he had already stopped breathing.
"Are you insane?! You killed my father in front of so many people! Have you thought about the consequences?!"
Tang Hu's eyes split with rage, but no one noticed the trace of excitement lingering at the corner of this son's mouth.
As long as his father was dead, everything he owned would belong to him in the future.
Of course, no one cared.
At that moment, Yan Fengjia turned his gaze toward Tian Boguang.
"You're next!"
"Good lad, with internal energy this profound, you truly have some skill. No matter, let me take you down first."
With those words, Tian Boguang completely disregarded the presence of the crowd and charged forward with lethal intent.
In a flash, he closed the distance to Yan Fengjia, his momentum fierce as a roaring tiger.
His massive palm lashed out, aiming straight for Yan Fengjia's chest.
"Peak Grandmaster strength? No wonder Yan Qiluo lost to you."
"Too bad you found out too late!" Tian Boguang wore a cruel grin on his face.
Yet the next second, Yan Fengjia's killing intent surged exponentially. "Indeed it's a pity—you shouldn't have come to touch me."
Yan Fengjia decisively struck out with a palm, colliding with Tian Boguang once again.
His previous strike had been held back out of fear of harming Gu Qinghan, but now there were no restrictions.
"Bang!"
With a muffled explosion, the entire floor seemed to shake violently.
And the scene that unfolded left Tang Hu dumbfounded and pale with shock.
Tian Boguang, who had just been wearing a confident smile, had his entire right arm instantly pulverized into fine dust by Yan Fengjia's seemingly plain and unadorned palm strike, sending him flying backward through the air.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spewed forth...
Tian Boguang stared in sheer disbelief. "How is this possible? How could you possibly defeat me? Could you be a Great Grandmaster..."
Yan Fengjia stepped forward with a cold expression. "I heard you are the prodigy of Modu, right? But I forgot to tell you, the so-called prodigy is merely the threshold to meeting me."
"It's time for you to go!"
Without hesitation, anyone who dared to touch his family would be shown no mercy.
Yan Fengjia brought his foot down, crushing his head on the spot.
Splattering blood sprayed outward, and Tang Hu, standing closest, was hit full in the face by the hot crimson fluid. Screaming in absolute terror, he passed out cold on the ground.
