Volume 1, Chapter 61: You Are All Doomed

"Come on, buddy, who do you think you are?"

"How rare is a Grade 4 Face-Preserving Pill, and you claim you can refine a few just like that?"

Liu Qingyun clearly noticed that Ouyang Guan was somewhat displeased, so he quickly stepped forward to reprimand Yan Fengjia, wanting to avoid offending this young master from the capital.

After all, even his own father had to watch this man's mood.

Tonight, he was trying to curry favor, knowing that Ouyang Guan loved beautiful women who were pure virgins with superior upbringing and background.

Gu Qinghan, the elite business heiress from Qinghai City, happened to fit his criteria for hunting women.

Yan Fengjia said calmly, "I didn't mean to look down on it, but this Face-Preserving Pill is indeed trash. Eating too much of it does no good for the body."

Ouyang Guan's face turned livid. With so many people present, this person was saying that the Face-Preserving Pill he had pulled strings to acquire was problematic?

"Do you even know who refined this Face-Preserving Pill to dare speak such arrogant words?"

Yan Fengjia replied, "Who refined it doesn't matter. What matters is that it's truly trash."

"You're quite arrogant, kid! Let me tell you, this elixir was personally refined by Huo Siyan, the daughter of the Third Hall Master of the Hundred Herbs Hall."

"You are nothing, someone who has never seen the world, so don't try to act like a big shot here, understand?" Liu Qingyun felt that Ouyang Guan, who cared deeply about his pride, was about to erupt, and quickly intervened.

However, Yan Fengjia remained completely dismissive.

Yan Fengjia chuckled, "The Huo family? As for alchemy, the old man of the Huo family is barely passable, but his descendants, I'd say, are thoroughly mediocre!"

"Such a big mouth," Ouyang Guan said with a gloomy expression. "And who are you, to be so arrogant and condescending?"

"Yan Fengjia."

"May I ask what grade of alchemist you are?"

"Unranked."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter.

"You're unranked, so what are you putting on airs for?" Liu Qingyun was so angry he laughed, and waved his hand.

"Alright, Brother Ouyang, a guy like this probably just likes to show off. Don't lower yourself to his level, he's just a clown."

Ouyang Guan snorted coldly, "How could I lower myself to the level of a country bumpkin? It's just that his insult to the Huo family makes me slightly displeased."

After all, in the capital, his Ouyang family had always revered the Huo family as if they were divine beings.

"Very well," Liu Qingyun said, stepping forward and pointing toward the door. "President Gu, your driver seems extremely impolite. To ensure our cooperation proceeds smoothly later, I suggest you ask your driver to step outside."

Gu Qinghan frowned. "President Liu, you've misunderstood. His surname is Yan, and he is the one my father mentioned to you earlier—from the Yan family of Qinghai City."

"Oh, it's him?" Liu Qingyun instantly wore a look of utter disdain. "Such a hypocritical and arrogant person... The company my Liu family wishes to collaborate with should be steadfast and pragmatic."

"As for his Yan family, let's forget it."

"This..." Gu Qinghan broke out in a cold sweat.

Was this cooperation just going to fall through like this?

Yan Fengjia, however, only smiled faintly.

"If you want to collaborate with my Yan family, you first have to see if you're even qualified. You don't need to reject us; your Liu family is already kicked out of the game."

"Kid, you're just a family from some local backwater, and you're this arrogant? Do you believe that with a single word, I can have your family's business completely banned here?"

Yan Fengjia, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks and smiled.

"Arrogance requires capital. Let me ask you this: is your Liu family in Modu more powerful than the Tian family?"

Liu Qingyun was momentarily stunned. "The Tian family is the number one family in Modu, backed by the Coming King Group. Who can compare to them?"

"And you?" Yan Fengjia pointed at Ouyang Guan.

"Me? What about me?" Ouyang Guan was confused.

"Is your family more powerful than the Huo family of the capital?"

"Are you kidding me? The Ouyang family is affiliated with the Third Hall Master of the Hundred Herbs Hall. My Ouyang family may not compare to the Huo family, but surely we compare to you?"

Yan Fengjia laughed. "If that's the case, you really don't have the qualifications to collaborate with my Yan family."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Young Master Liu, does this kid really think he can cover the sky with one hand in Qinghai City?"

"Does he actually think he's some big shot?" Everyone on the scene roared with laughter.

They all regarded this young master of the Yan family as a mere clown.

Gu Qinghan's expression turned displeased. "Yan Fengjia is my friend. Since you lack the sincerity to cooperate, my Gu family chooses to withdraw as well."

"Yan Fengjia, let's go. We don't need their partnership."

With that, Gu Qinghan pulled Yan Fengjia along to leave.

She would never allow anyone to mock Yan Fengjia.

As for business, you could partner with anyone. At worst, all her efforts over the past few days would go down the drain.

However, Ouyang Guan said coldly and indifferently, "President Gu, I treated you as a friend, but you must understand that not just anyone can be a friend of Ouyang Guan."

"I appreciate you, which is why I'm giving you face. If I didn't give you face, I could make life impossible for your tiny Gu family."

"If you dare to disrespect me and walk out of here today, I guarantee I can mobilize all my family's connections to drive your Gu family into bankruptcy within a month."

"Are you threatening me?" Gu Qinghan stopped in her tracks.

"Not a threat, but a warning," Ouyang Guan said as he sat down, slowly swirling his glass of red wine, his tone calm and unquestioning.

"You..."

Yan Fengjia pulled Gu Qinghan back. It seemed that if he didn't do something, these people would truly underestimate him.

Sighing, Yan Fengjia walked back.

"Fengjia, don't..."

Gu Qinghan wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

It wasn't that she was worried Yan Fengjia would get the short end of the stick. Rather, she knew Yan Fengjia's foundation and methods all too well.

She was worried these two were simply blind and wouldn't even know how they died.

"What do you want?" Liu Qingyun saw Yan Fengjia return, crossed his arms, and stepped forward.

Yan Fengjia pulled out a chair and sat down, then lit a cigarette and looked at the two of them.

"You two really like using your power to bully others, don't you?"

"So what if we do?" Ouyang Guan and Liu Qingyun exchanged a glance. "Don't think that having a few connections in some tiny place like Qinghai City gives you the right to look down on me."

"Go ask around in the capital what kind of status my Ouyang family holds."

"I don't need to ask. I only know that starting today, your Ouyang family won't have to bother showing your faces in the capital anymore."

"Hahaha..."

Both of them burst out laughing.

"Oh, and your Liu family too," Yan Fengjia said, almost forgetting about Liu Qingyun. He might as well deal with them together.

"Fine then, I'd love to see how you deal with me. Go ahead, everyone is waiting, do it."

Yan Fengjia took out his phone and dialed the headquarters of the Hundred Herbs Hall first.

"It's me, Yan Fengjia. Do you know someone named Ouyang Guan?"

On the other end of the line, the Third Hall Master, Elder Huo, who was treated with utmost respect by superiors, hurriedly dropped his work and stood up facing the air, bowing respectfully.

"Reporting to the Grand Hall Master, I know Ouyang Guan. He is a contact within my circle."

"This kid is extremely arrogant. Find a way to contact him yourself."

"From now on, I don't want to see his family thriving in the capital. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood," Elder Huo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowing and scraping.

"Ouyang Guan, this kid is really putting on an act. I almost believed him for a second," Liu Qingyun walked over, his face full of disdain.

"Let's see how long you can keep up the act. Go on."

Yan Fengjia didn't answer, immediately dialing Long Yiran's number instead.

"A new official taking office lights three fires. Long Yiran, let me see how capable you are at your job."

"There's some real estate tycoon in Modu named Liu. Help me take care of him."

On the other end of the line, Long Yiran had just finished showering, stepping into a sexy camisole nightgown that outlined the alluring curves of her hot and full figure. Under the light, half of her soft bosom emitted an alluring sheen.

"Alright, should I wipe out his whole family?" Long Yiran asked with a smile.

"Just make them scram. Just ensure his family can't even afford a meal in Modu."

With that, Yan Fengjia hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghan let out a bitter laugh.

She knew these two men were doomed.

Yan Fengjia's two senior martial sisters were major heavyweights in the capital's circle.

Provoking Yan Fengjia meant they were finished.

However, the two men didn't care at all.

Liu Qingyun crossed his legs. "Well, is the acting over? If you're done acting, now I'm going to make a call and have someone ruin your family."

"Be my guest," Yan Fengjia said.

Behind him, Gu Qinghan sighed, thinking only that they had brought this bad luck upon themselves.

Just as Liu Qingyun took out his phone to call his company, suddenly, the ringtones of both his and Ouyang Guan's phones rang out like a death knell.
