So what if the Easterner was bold and seemed to have a connection to the Brad Family in Italy? Even the Brad Family wouldn't dare to offend both Bread and Vivian at the same time, would they?

Their reasoning was simple. The Nuo Weiya and Ashford Families were exceptionally powerful, ranking as two of Europe's top Three Mafia Families. In terms of privately wielded strength, they even surpassed a behemoth like the Brad Family by a slight margin. Therefore, the situation seemed logical. The weaker party simply had no choice in the matter.

"Vivian… interesting." Bread also walked out with his men. Seeing the scene, a clearly amused smirk appeared on his lips. He had planned to make a move on Chen Fei himself, but now it seemed Vivian couldn't help but jump the gun. How interesting.

Now he was curious. With Vivian personally stepping in, and with him—Bread—also present, would the Brad Family still have the guts to get involved and stand up for that Easterner?

Heh, they probably don't have the guts, do they? Bread sneered inwardly, his face full of mockery.

Just then, Chen Fei's cool gaze fell upon Vivian. An arrogant expression of superiority immediately appeared on her face, as if she was used to giving orders. She was like someone with 'princess syndrome' from a TV drama. Born into privilege and coddled everywhere she went, she naturally assumed very few people would dare disrespect her, that no one could compete with her for items, and that everyone must act according to her wishes.

But was Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, the type of person to indulge her? Don't even think about it!

"I'm neither deaf nor mute," Chen Fei said coldly, looking at Vivian. "You stopped me. Is there something you want?"

"Huh?" Hearing Chen Fei's tone, the pupils of the crowd contracted slightly. Is this Easterner too bold? How dare he still talk so tough at a time like this?

"You…" Vivian's crimson, cold gaze wavered. "You have some nerve," she said, her voice turning icy. "Do you have any idea who I am?"

"Who are you?" A cold smile touched Chen Fei's lips, and a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Let's say I don't know who you are. So what? And even if I did, what then?"

BOOM! The onlookers erupted into a clamor, scarcely believing what they had just heard.

"Insolence!" a handsome blond man beside Vivian roared. He stepped forward as a strong and terrifying aura surged toward Chen Fei. His eyes were like ice as he commanded, "I'll give you one chance. Kneel and apologize to Miss Vivian. Beg for her forgiveness. Otherwise, I will make sure you die here today!"

Vivian said nothing, her pretty face contorted with silent rage, tacitly approving of the blond man's actions. She couldn't believe Chen Fei would dare to be so disrespectful and defiant. Naturally, he must receive the punishment he deserves!

"Heh, make me die here?" At that moment, Chen Fei's cool voice echoed in everyone's ears. His eyes flashed with a chilling light as he looked at the man, his pupils flaring with a cold, heart-stopping killing intent.

Then, as if casually, he lifted his right hand. A bright flame ignited at his fingertips.

"Wait, stop—" The Blood Clan Grand Duke accompanying Vivian suddenly paled and tried to intervene, but she was too late.

"Flame Finger!"

At Chen Fei's cold command, a crimson pillar of light, filled with terrifying energy, shot from his fingertip. It tore through the air and instantly blasted a bloody hole through the handsome blond man's chest. He screamed and collapsed, not dead, but too grievously injured to even crawl.

"This…" Everyone present stiffened, not expecting the Easterner to actually dare to make a move. Furthermore, as their gazes fell upon the man now wailing in agony on the ground, a chill crept up their spines.

"You… you…" Vivian's face turned ashen as she watched. She never expected that Chen Fei would not only disregard her and compete for the Blood Ancestor Essence Stone, but now he had even dared to grievously injure her man right in front of her.

Just how much does he look down on me? How am I supposed to maintain my reputation after this?

"You… you have some serious nerve!" Vivian snarled, her eyes locked on Chen Fei, her voice glacial.

"Is that so?" Chen Fei's lips curled into a smirk. He turned his head, his dark, cold eyes meeting Vivian's again. "Get lost," he spat.

HISS! A collective, shocked gasp filled the air. Everyone's faces stiffened at his words. He actually told Miss Vivian to get lost in front of everyone! If that isn't courting death, what is!?

"Niemoller, kill him!" Vivian commanded, her entire body trembling with rage.

"Yes, my beautiful Miss Vivian!" A brown-haired man with an incredibly powerful aura stepped out from beside Vivian. He didn't appear to be a member of the Blood Clan, but he had been a constant guardian at her side. Seeing the situation and receiving Vivian's direct order, he held back no longer and stepped forward, radiating killing intent.

"Eastern Lad, you dare speak to my beautiful Miss Vivian like that? It seems killing you today is unavoidable," the brown-haired man said, his voice laced with a chilling cold. A terrifying dark light erupted from his body.

"Hiss, that's Niemoller! Rumor has it he successfully advanced to become an S Level Superpower Powerhouse half a year ago! If not for his slightly humbler family background, he would have earned Miss Vivian's favor long ago," someone whispered, drawing in a sharp breath as they revealed the brown-haired man's identity.

He was clearly another genius famous throughout the European Dark World—an S-Class Peak Supernatural Being of Dark Element!

"Grand Duke Melissa? Miss Vivian, what is the meaning of this? Mr. Chen is a guest of the Brad Family. Don't you think you're going a bit too far?" Just then, a sharp, elderly voice called out from a distance. Duke Ovilia had returned, and Duke Babidi of the Ashford Family was with him.

Niemoller froze mid-action. He never expected Duke Ovilia of the Brad Family to actually interfere in Miss Vivian's affairs. This…

"Ovilia, is that you?" The Blood Clan Grand Duke accompanying Vivian looked at the newcomers in surprise. Her tone then turned cold. "What is this, Ovilia? Does the Brad Family intend to meddle in the affairs of the Nuo Weiya Family?"

In her eyes, the Brad Family was the weakest of the Three Mafia Families in Europe in terms of true strength. How could they possibly dare to start a conflict with the Nuo Weiya Family and meddle in their business?

"I'm sorry, Grand Duke Melissa, but Mr. Chen is a guest of our Brad Family. If you insist on proceeding, then the Brad Family will have no choice but to intervene," Duke Ovilia stated.

His words made Grand Duke Melissa's eyes narrow. "Ovilia, are you serious?" she asked, her voice clear and cold.

"I am perfectly serious, Grand Duke Melissa," Ovilia replied, not backing down an inch.

Moreover, Duke Babidi of the Ashford Family, who was standing beside him, also spoke up. "Grand Duke Melissa, Miss Vivian, since Mr. Chen is a guest attending our Ashford Family's celebration, I must ask you to give our family some face. Whatever conflicts you may have, can you please resolve them privately after you leave?"

Hearing this, Grand Duke Melissa's expression shifted once more. She stared coldly at Babidi, not having expected him to also step in to help the boy.

Could it be that this Eastern Lad has some powerful, unknown background? Otherwise, why would Babidi get involved now?
