Xu Fan saw Xia Hengzhou's tear-streaked face and sighed softly.
Just now, Xu Fan asked Xia Hengzhou a question not to provoke him, but to give him one last chance.
Although Xia Hengzhou's actions made it impossible for Xu Fan to forgive him, Xia Hengzhou was, after all, his father-in-law, and indeed the biological father of Xia Xiaodie.
Of course, Xu Fan is not soone who shows blind compassion. If Xia Hengzhou remained unrepentant and continued his unwavering loyalty to the Hidden chanism Pavilion, Xu Fan would never speak another word to him.
At this mont, clearly, Xia Hengzhou understood.
Is it worth it?
No, it's not!
Since Xia Hengzhou had already repented, he was still Xu Fan's father-in-law. Even if Xia Hengzhou had done wrong, he absolutely could not be humiliated by an outsider!
So, now Xu Fan turned his head, looked firmly at Elder Lin, and pronounced, "Apologize to him!"
The four words were resounding and powerful.
Elder Lin was stunned.
In Elder Lin's view, Xu Fan was just an ant from the Lower Realm, soone too young to understand the imnsity of the heavens and the earth...
So, Elder Lin decided to be magnanimous, and for the sake of Li Long, gave Xu Fan another chance. Elder Lin waited loftily for Xu Fan to realize his mistake and reopen negotiations with the Hidden chanism Pavilion.
After all, in Elder Lin's eyes, Xu Fan was just an ignorant young man! Such a young ant, if Elder Lin released his aura, would probably be scared enough to wet his pants. How foolish was Xia Hengzhou to fail to handle such a young ant?
Therefore, when things did not go as Elder Lin had imagined, he was a bit perplexed.
Xu Fan, an ant-like youth from the Lower Realm, who could be crushed under a little finger, how could he dare to show disrespect to Elder Lin?
What baffled Elder Lin even more was that, after he had clearly given him a chance, Xu Fan had the audacity to utter those four words? How dare he not cherish the opportunity given by Elder Lin?
This was not just a lack of awareness; it was an insult to Elder Lin!
"Boy, do you even know what you're saying?"
"I am the Third Elder of the Hidden chanism Pavilion, and you want to apologize to a re deacon?"
Elder Lin's white hair bristled with anger, and his sinister eyes grew more terrifying.
However, Elder Lin did not attack Xu Fan; he forcibly suppressed the raging anger inside.
This visit was ant for negotiation, for cooperating with Li Long, and for helping the Hidden chanism Pavilion out of its current predicant.
Compared to that, a re ant from the Lower Realm was insignificant.
Still, this did not an Elder Lin would let Xu Fan go. He turned to look at the disheveled Xia Hengzhou and asked ominously, "Deacon Xia, if I apologize to you, do you dare accept it?"
Apologize?
An apology was out of the question; considering his own status, how could he apologize to a re deacon? It was utterly laughable!
Elder Lin used this thod to tell Xu Fan just how noble he was! Apologize to Xia Hengzhou? Would he dare to accept it?
As expected, Xia Hengzhou lowered his head, looking extrely humble.
Inside the Hidden chanism Pavilion, the hierarchy was strict. Not to ntion a re deacon, even an Immortal Venerable level expert must behave properly in front of Elder Lin.
As one of the veterans of the Hidden chanism Pavilion, even the Pavilion Master would not easily offend him.
This was the confidence of Elder Lin!
The Third Elder of the Hidden chanism Pavilion was a person none but a select few in the Upper Realm could afford to offend! None dared to show him disrespect!
Elder Lin smiled coldly, casting a disdainful gaze at Xu Fan, "Boy, can we discuss cooperation now?"
In Elder Lin's eyes, Xia Hengzhou failed because he wasn't assertive enough.
The Hidden chanism Pavilion had a profound background, far beyond what a re ant from the Lower Realm could imagine.
Thus, Elder Lin was determined to present his strongest stance on this visit.
A re ant from the Lower Realm, in the presence of true power, should be humble, should tremble, should be utterly humiliated!
It was a very fair and simple matter, wasn't it?
However, Xu Fan's attitude once again surprised Elder Lin.
Xu Fan looked coldly at Elder Lin, his words chilling to the bone, "Three seconds to apologize to him and then get back to your Hidden chanism Pavilion. Otherwise... die!"
Elder Lin was once again dumbfounded.
This ant from the Lower Realm, did he just say... die?
A re ant from the Lower Realm, how could he dare openly threaten an Immortal Venerable class expert?
This was beyond Elder Lin's comprehension, as if the sun had risen in the west!
More baffling to Elder Lin was that under the intimidation of an Immortal Venerable level expert like himself, this re ant from the Lower Realm should be groveling and trembling, yet why did he seem more assertive than Elder Lin?
"Boy, how dare you..."
Before Elder Lin could regain his composure, Xu Fan suddenly laughed, sunlight spilling over his face with a warm and innocent smile, though his words harshly contradicted that smile.
"Three seconds have passed. Third Elder, tell ... how do you want to die?"
For a mont, Elder Lin's mind went blank.
After crossing infinite Star Domains to co to the Lower Realm, wasn't he here to negotiate, not to fight? Why did things not align with what he imagined?
Stunned, Elder Lin didn't even know how to respond.
Looking at Elder Lin's expression, Xu Fan felt even more disdain for him.
As for the situation in the Upper Realm, Xu Fan had never been there and didn't know. But seeing Elder Lin, the so-called Upper Realm didn't seem that impressive.
Does being an Immortal Venerable necessarily an being powerful or being a big deal?
In Xu Fan's view, this Immortal Venerable level expert, Elder Lin, didn't even deserve to carry Xia Hengzhou's shoes!
With this thought, Xu Fan couldn't be bothered to look at Elder Lin again, turning to leave with Xia Xiaodie, "You have one minute to choose a nice burial site."
Xu Fan wasn't bluffing. On Earth, an overbearing Immortal Venerable was no concern to him.
Under the weakened rules of the world, an Immortal Venerable couldn't exert much power. Just Chu Le'er alone could handle him, not to ntion Xu Fan had eleven Immortal Venerable experts under him!
As for the possibility of Elder Lin ambushing him, Xu Fan wasn't worried.
One, he had imnse confidence in his own strength; two, Xu Fan knew the purpose of Elder Lin's visit. If Elder Lin dared to act against him, even Li Long and the Pavilion Master of the Hidden chanism Pavilion wouldn't let him go!
Walking away smoothly, Xu Fan left Elder Lin pale-faced.
Initially, Elder Lin planned to use a forceful approach to crush Xu Fan and Li Long to relieve the pressure on the Hidden chanism Pavilion.
However, up till this mont, Elder Lin only realized that this ant from the Lower Realm was perhaps more formidable than he had imagined...
