"Stop!"

The man bellowed, blocking Jiang Chen's path, arrogantly speaking, "Kid, do you have a death wish by harassing Yu Dan? Kneel down and apologize to her immediately!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the man without responding and continued walking towards the building.

"Did you not hear me when I spoke to you?" the man once again stepped forward to block Jiang Chen, haughtily saying, "Do you know who I am? I am Zhao Qianming of the Zhao Family. Our family is backed by the Four Great Aristocratic Families in Dingjing. No one dares to disrespect the Four Great Aristocratic Families here. Kid, I advise you to kneel and apologize to Yu Dan right away, otherwise, you're as good as dead!"

"Are you done talking?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Qianming indifferently.

Several people in front of the building stopped to watch Jiang Chen, pity and schadenfreude evident in their eyes.

This is Young Master Zhao of the Zhao Family and Miss Zhu of the Zhu Family. Both their families are backed by the Four Great Aristocratic Families. By offending both families at once, this kid is done for! He's definitely going to kneel!

"I'm done talking, so hurry up and give..." Zhao Qianming started to say in a mocking tone.

Slap!

A crisp sound rang out, and Zhao Qianming's cheek stung as his body tilted and he fell to the ground. His words got caught in this throat, and he looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of astonishment, frozen in place, somewhat unable to react, "You... you fucking dare to hit me?"

Zhu Yudan raised her eyebrows, unable to believe that Jiang Chen would dare to make a move after Zhao Qianming had announced his name?

This is utter audacity!

"Holy shit! He dared to hit Zhao Qianming?"

"He really must be tired of living!"

"One won't die if they don't court death, but this is him courting death!"

"This kid is dead meat, Young Master Qian Ming won't let him off!"

The onlookers all watched Jiang Chen in amazement, whispering among themselves.

"Kid, have you lost your mind?" Zhu Yudan walked up to the two, her face ashen as she looked at Jiang Chen.

Slap!

Another crisp sound rang out, and Zhu Yudan stood there stunned. She herself, had been slapped resoundingly across the face by Jiang Chen.

In that instant, the whole vicinity seemed to freeze.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

It was unthinkable that this kid, after hitting Zhao Qianming, would hit Zhu Yudan too?

How audacious could one be?

"This... this kid must be insane, right? He... he's hit someone from both great families?"

"He's truly lost his mind, completely crazy. He's done for, maybe if he'd kneeled and apologized earlier, he might have been fine, but now he's utterly done for!"

"What a hothead! He doesn't understand the meaning of restraint at all!"

After a moment, the crowd around exploded in chatter.

"You dare to hit me? Do you want to die?" Zhu Yudan looked at Jiang Chen, her face dark with rage.

Jiang Chen replied coldly, "Hit you? I dare to kill you, believe it or not?"

Zhu Yudan faltered for a moment, and upon locking eyes with Jiang Chen, a shiver went down her spine involuntarily, and she took a step back.

It was then that Zhao Qianming finally came to his senses, scrambled up, and shouted at the several bodyguards who were just as stunned, "What the hell are you, dead? Beat him to a pulp for me!"

The bodyguards snapped out of it and charged towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sneered, just waiting for these blind fools to come at him so he could give them a beating first.

Screech, screech, screech—

Just then, suddenly several Rolls-Royce Phantoms stopped nearby, and a group of bodyguards surrounded Jiang Chen, stopping in their tracks, astonished.

Zhao Qianming and Zhu Yudan both turned their heads, their faces filled with confusion as they stared at the identical Rolls-Royce Phantoms, lost in thought. In Dingjing, there weren't many who could pull off such a display!

Click, click, click!

The doors of the luxury cars opened, and a group of men dressed in bespoke formal attire stepped down from the vehicles.

"Dare to touch our Young Master? Seeking death!" A low shout erupted as a young man with a cold expression rushed towards Zhao Qianming's bodyguards.

Bang, bang, bang!

Before Zhao Qianming's bodyguards could react to what was happening, they were knocked to the ground!

Defeated in an instant by this one person!

Thump! Then, the young man with the cold expression turned and knelt before Jiang Chen.

Following that, a series of muffled sounds as the other men also knelt before Jiang Chen, speaking in unison, "We have arrived late and startled the Young Master, please punish us, Young Master!"

At that moment, everyone around was stunned.

All eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at those who had knelt before Jiang Chen.

These men obviously radiated a fearsome aura, clearly warriors of great skill and strength.

But now, they were all kneeling before Jiang Chen, dressed in plain clothes, and even calling him Young Master?

My goodness!

"What, what's going on?!"

"Who is that guy?"

"Those people… they seem very powerful! And their clothes… seem even finer than that guy's, right?"

The onlookers couldn't help but speculate.

Zhao Qianming and Zhu Yudan's complexions changed drastically, their hearts skipping a beat. Who is this person? How did he come to have such subordinates? And all these cars are top-class luxury vehicles, a fleet at his command, a scale that no ordinary aristocratic family could possess.

Jiang Chen was also stunned, slightly furrowing his brow. Who were these people? Why were they calling him Young Master? Why were they kneeling to him?

Suddenly, Jiang Chen realized something and turned his head towards the row of cars.

At that moment, the window of the central car rolled down, and Butler Lu smiled faintly at Jiang Chen, waving his hand.

Jiang Chen instantly understood—it was indeed his grandfather's men!

While this was happening, the cold-faced young man, having finished his kneeling tribute, stood up and moved towards Zhao Qianming and his companion, his face emotionless as he prepared to deal with the two of them.

"That's enough!" Jiang Chen raised a hand and spoke to halt him.

The young man, Leng Li, glanced at Jiang Chen, his brow furrowing slightly as he stood still, no longer advancing.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen gave Leng Li a deep look, called out softly, and turned to walk towards Butler Lu's car, a playful look in his eyes.

He had just seen a trace of dissatisfaction in Leng Li's eyes!

"Butler Lu." Jiang Chen got into the car and sat beside Butler Lu, looking surprised at Leng Li and another young man who had followed alongside them into the driver and front passenger seats.

Butler Lu smiled slightly, gesturing towards the two in front, "Young Master, they are the captains of two secret teams under the master's command, Xuan Long and Yan Hu, both Heavenly Peak Martial Artists. The one who made a move just now is Yan Hu. They are currently managing a large batch of resources for the master, and now, these men and resources have all been entrusted to you! They can be used to protect the Young Master and also allow the Young Master to expand his influence more rapidly!"

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, speaking indifferently, "I don't need protection."

The young man, Leng Li, who was Yan Hu, glanced at Jiang Chen, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance, "Young Master, you indeed need protection. You are too benevolent and merciful. Just now, those two insects affronted the Young Master, and you should not have let them go. With your temperament, you truly need protection!"
