"Thud—"

Lin Chao directly knelt in front of Jiang Chen, his face full of panic, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, my dad is ignorant, please don't take offense."

Jiang Chen was slightly startled, amused as he glanced at Lin Chao. He had seen parents criticize themselves for being ignorant, but this was the first time he had seen a son criticizing his father for ignorance, which alleviated much of his irritation!

Seeing a smile appear on Jiang Chen's lips, Lin Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned to his father; "Dad, let's go back, what are you standing out here for? Hurry up and go back!"

Lin Zhengfeng had been dumbfounded!

He had always known his son to be an arrogant and domineering rich second-generation, but now, his son was desperately trying to kneel and apologize to the man, even imploring him earnestly.

What on earth was happening?

Lin Zhengfeng's heart trembled violently, and he looked at Jiang Chen with suspicion, his eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Scram." Jiang Chen uttered the word indifferently.

Lin Chao's mind jolted, realizing that Jiang Chen was growing impatient. He immediately got up and dragged Lin Zhengfeng to the side; Lin Zhengfeng did not speak again, but was half-pushed and half-pulled by Lin Chao to a spot off to the side.

The mourners who had come to the funeral were all amused, giving the Lin father and son odd looks, as if they were watching fools, before a good number of them blocked Jiang Chen and his group again.

"Kid, who do you think you are? Do you even know whose funeral is being held here today?"

"Kid, you dare to cause a scene at the Fang Family's funeral, you must be tired of living!"

"Kneel down and apologize immediately!"

"Right, kneel down and apologize!"

These people surrounded Jiang Chen, feigning fury as they pointed and shouted at him.

"Get out of the way!"

A roaring voice rang out as a dark shadow moved from behind to stand in front of Jiang Chen.

Yan Hu, carrying a huge coffin, spun around and used it as a weapon, slamming it hard against the people blocking Jiang Chen's way.

Bang bang bang!

Several attendees who had tried to ingratiate themselves with the Fang Family felt as if they had been struck by a train; they flew backward like scattered flower petals, crashing hard onto the ground.

"Who is this guy? He's so fierce!"

"How heavy is that coffin? How can he handle it like it's nothing?"

"This guy is ferocious!"

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

Thump!

A dull sound echoed as Yan Hu set the coffin down next to him with a thud, standing it upright beside him, his gaze coldly fixed on those who had blocked their way and were now struggling to get up. He spoke in a frosty tone: "Bastards! You dare to block our Young Master's path. If you block our way again, this coffin is yours!"

The faces of those men turned pale, frightfully glancing at Yan Hu before scurrying away into the crowd.

"This... this guy is so powerful? How come I feel he's even more formidable than our head instructor, Master Cheng?" Lin Zhengfeng watched Yan Hu in astonishment and blurted out.

Lin Chao steadied his nerves and curled his lips, "Dad, he's not just a notch above Master Cheng. Master Cheng can't even compare to him; that's a Heavenly Peak Martial Artist! A Grandmaster! Moreover, the Junior Master he mentioned, that young man, was even more formidable than the big guy! He kicked and broke the steel claw of our family's excavator with one foot. And you just dared to block the way; you... really!"

"This... what the fuck!" Lin Zhengfeng was shocked, cursing aloud, suddenly understanding the actions of his son and said with a face filled with fear, "Super, you just saved your old dad!"

All the guests were frightened by Yan Hu's bravery, none daring to block the way anymore. Jiang Chen scanned the crowd and continued walking toward the funeral home.

Everyone glanced again at Yan Hu, who was following behind Jiang Chen carrying the coffin, and then at the others holding wreaths. When they clearly saw the words on the wreaths, everyone's hearts quivered, their faces drastically changed, and they were all taken aback with horror.

"Who... who are these people? How dare they... Are they directly challenging the Four Great Aristocratic Families?"

"They dared to offend all the Four Great Aristocratic Families in one go. Who are they? To be so audacious?!"

"They're courting death!"

"Just wait and see how they die; daring to challenge the Four Great Aristocratic Families all at once, no one in Dingjing has ever had the guts to do that!"

The surrounding people began murmuring among themselves in low voices.

Jiang Chen in front, followed by Yan Hu and Xuan Long, and then followed by four men standing in a row, each holding a big white wreath. The usual character for 'condolence' in the middle of ordinary wreaths. But the characters in the middle of the four wreaths these men were holding were 'Fang', 'Zhou', 'Lin', 'Yue', which were the surnames of the Four Great Aristocratic Families.

The implication needed no further explanation!

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" As soon as Jiang Chen and his followers had entered the funeral home, a member of the Fang Family at the door changed his expression and shouted angrily.

Jiang Chen looked indifferently at the receptionist, and turning his head towards the portrait of Fang Tianze at the end, he smiled faintly and said softly, "I've come to see the young Master Fang whom I just met not long ago."

Fang Zhengshan's face turned ashen as he stared at Jiang Chen, his eyes seeming to spit fire.

The other three Family Heads of the Great Aristocratic Families standing by Fang Zhengshan's side suddenly tensed, staring intently at Jiang Chen, squinting their eyes.

Jiang Chen stepped towards Fang Zhengshan, and the receptionist was just about to intercept when Xuan Long sidestepped in front of him, his eyes shooting a cold glint.

The receptionist's heart trembled, feeling as though a bloodthirsty beast had targeted him, and he froze on the spot.

By the time Jiang Chen had walked past, Xuan Long withdrew his gaze and followed suit, while the receptionist let out a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling his back soaked with cold sweat, his eyes filled with terror as he watched Xuan Long's retreating figure, his heart still shaking!

"Jiang Chen, what do you want to do?" Fang Zhengshan looked at Jiang Chen with flickering eyes.

Fang Tianze's death had filled Fang Zhengshan with anger, but Jiang Chen's arrival instilled fear in him. Yet, in front of the other three families, he did not want to show too much cowardice, for fear that the others would notice something amiss. He could only speak with neither servility nor overbearing pride.

Jiang Chen took out something resembling an invitation from his pocket, which the Four Great Aristocratic Families had sent when they issued an ultimatum to Yi Chen.

"This thing, I'm giving it back to you!" Jiang Chen directly threw the invitation into the black iron basin burning paper money beside him, his eyes slightly narrowed as he swept a glance at the four men, and said softly, "Did you think by spreading the news of this ultimatum all over Dingjing, you could intimidate me? You're far too naive!"

"Jiang Chen!"

Before the Family Heads of the Four Great Aristocratic Families could speak, a loud shout rang out.

Following that, Gong Zijun burst forth from the Gong Family crowd, charging in front of Jiang Chen, and pointed at Jiang Chen's nose, shouting, "This is the Fang Family's funeral of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, how dare you spout such nonsense here? You don't want to live? If you don't want to live, don't drag our Gong Family down with you; apologize to Family Head Fang right now!"

Jiang Chen glanced at Gong Zijun, then turned to look in the direction from which Gong Zijun had come.

There, Old Lady Luo, and other members of the Gong Family, as well as Ye Jianzhong and other members of the Ye Family, were all glaring angrily at Jiang Chen.

Seeing Jiang Chen look over, Yè Tiānmíng's eyes flickered, and he quickly stepped forward to the Family Head Fang Zhengshan, bowed deeply, and said with a face full of respect,

"Family Head Fang, Jiang Chen used to be our Ye Family's son-in-law, but now he has nothing to do with our Ye Family anymore. I hope Family Head Fang won't blame our Ye Family. If Family Head Fang wishes to discipline him, our Ye Family is more than willing to assist!"
