"Bastard! Bastard! You dare hit me! A freeloader like you dares to hit me?!"

Ge'er Tai raised his hand, pointed at Jiang Chen's nose, and roared in anger.

Bang!

With a dull thud, Jiang Chen struck again, delivering a kick to Ge'er Tai's stomach and sending him flying.

"Still daring to fight!? Subdue him!" Lu Li's expression darkened as he shouted.

"I'd like to see who dares."

Buzz!

A furious roar echoed as Ge'er Yan swept his gaze over the men in black suits, releasing an overwhelming aura. The pressure of his Semi Venerable Venerable Realm peak swept onto the surrounding black-suited men.

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted slightly, and his own aura surged forth. A mysterious energy emanated from him, instantly enveloping Pu Losi and his group, isolating them from Ge'er Yan's oppressive force.

"Scar, this is an airport. Keep the pressure in check!" Jiang Chen growled low.

Ge'er Yan snapped back to reality, withdrawing his aura before turning to Pu Losi and his group with an apologetic tone: "My apologies, Mr. Pu Losi, Mrs. Sha Wa, Miss Ya Sha. Forgive me for the offense earlier!"

When Ge'er Yan withdrew his aura, Jiang Chen followed suit. Thanks to Ge'er Yan's earlier intimidation, the black-suited men hesitated, remaining rooted and refraining from attacking Jiang Chen and his group.

Jiang Chen's subtle act went unnoticed by Ge'er Yan, Yan Mo, and Lu Li. However, Pu Losi picked up on it.

Pu Losi glanced at Jiang Chen, then made a gesture toward Ge'er Yan as he opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by a loud shout.

"Why are you all just standing there? Arrest him already!"

Ge'er Tai, having gotten back on his feet, saw the black-suited men encircling Jiang Chen's group without making a move. Furiously, he roared, ignoring both Ge'er Yan's aura and his earlier remarks.

He believed he was justified and wasn't intimidated by escalating the situation; in fact, he relished humiliating Ge'er Yan in the process.

"Ge'er Tai, shut your mouth!"

Ge'er Yan glared at Ge'er Tai, his aura threatening to break free once again.

"Hu Zi, Spirit You, make them lie down, but don't involve innocent people!" Jiang Chen glanced at Ge'er Tai and spoke calmly.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Thud, thud!

The figures of Yan Hu and Spirit You turned into fleeting shadows, circling the group in an instant and then reappearing behind Jiang Chen. Around them, the black-suited men had all collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Y-you…"

Ge'er Tai's face turned pale as he stared in disbelief at Yan Hu and Spirit You. He had specifically selected sixteen Paladin Knights from his family to welcome Pu Losi at the airport, only for them to be effortlessly defeated by the duo.

Jiang Chen didn't bother acknowledging him and turned his gaze toward Pu Losi: "Mr. Pu Losi, my apologies for hitting your welcoming party… but they deserved it!"

Deserved it! He deserved it!

Pu Losi understood Jiang Chen's actions and the sentiment behind his words. Jiang Chen was entirely backing Ge'er Yan, whose actions warranted punishment!

Under normal circumstances, Pu Losi would have been enraged, but today, he wasn't even slightly annoyed. Instead, traces of admiration flickered in his eyes as memories of his younger self surfaced.

"Head of the Jiang Family, I will remember today's events."

Pu Losi left a cryptic remark for Jiang Chen before turning to walk toward the nearby taxi stand.

Ge'er Tai reacted quickly, stepping in to block Pu Losi's path and anxiously exclaimed, "Mr. Pu Losi, the car is ready for you!"

"I think your car should be used to take them to the hospital."

Pu Losi pointed at the unconscious black-suited men on the ground, casually uttering his instruction before continuing toward the taxi stand.

Behind him, a burly man stepped forward, blocking Ge'er Tai and preventing him from intercepting Pu Losi again.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, his lips curling slightly upward as he turned to Ge'er Yan: "Let's go."

"Alright!"

Ge'er Yan nodded, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

Jiang Chen's actions had taken all the risk of offending Pu Losi upon himself, and Ge'er Yan was acutely aware of this.

The group boarded the stretch Lincoln and drove away, leaving only an enraged and humiliated Ge'er Tai and the scheming Lu Li behind at the airport's exit.

...

In the eastern outskirts of Luofu City lay a massive estate spanning tens of kilometers, featuring facilities like a floating ball court and a horse track.

In Luofu City, the only family capable of establishing such a grand estate was the Ge'er Family!

Vroom… Screech!

At the gates of the Ge'er Family estate.

A stretch Lincoln approached the entrance but was stopped by guards on duty.

Buzz!

The window of the front passenger seat rolled down, and Ge'er Yan leaned out, puzzled as he addressed the guard: "What's the problem?"

"Second Young Master, apologies, but the Family Head has ordered guest registration," the guard said respectfully, glancing at Jiang Chen sitting inside through the window.

Ge'er Yan's face darkened, and he said sternly: "Say that again!"

"I…"

The guard hesitated under Ge'er Yan's icy glare. A cold sweat broke out as fear gripped him, causing his words to falter: "S-second Young Master, this… this is the Family Head's order, I…"

"Ge'er Kusi's orders, huh?"

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, pulling out his phone and dialing a number, then turning on the speakerphone.

"Hello?"

A deep voice echoed from the phone, causing Ge'er Yan and the guard to shift their gazes toward Jiang Chen.

"Head of the Ge'er Family, Jiang Chen is here. Does his visit require registration?" Jiang Chen asked indifferently.

There was a brief silence on the other end before a flat voice replied: "The Head of the Jiang Family visiting? No registration is necessary. It is an honor!"

"You're too kind."

Jiang Chen responded coolly, ending the call immediately after.

Ge'er Yan gave Jiang Chen an astonished look, then turned to glare at the guard: "Can we go in now?"

"Yes, yes!"

The guard nodded repeatedly, stepping aside to clear the way.

Vroom...

Yan Mo pressed down on the gas, driving the car into the estate.

"Mr. Jiang, you know my father?" Ge'er Yan asked Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly: "Not only do I know him, but I've also disrupted his plans before. This time, he probably just wants to disgust me a little or show he doesn't welcome me!"

"This…"

Ge'er Yan's expression shifted as he thought for a moment. Determination flashed in his eyes: "Let's leave. I don't want to compete for the position of heir anymore!"

Jiang Chen paused briefly, then smiled and patted Ge'er Yan's shoulder:

"Don't worry. He can't do anything to me, and he won't openly act against me. There are things you don't know. Right now, he's weighing a decision, and as of now, he hasn't made his final choice."
