Thud!
Suppressing all his inner dissatisfaction, Mr. Hua fell to his knees expressionlessly.
After a brief mont of emotion, he directed his words to the group in front of him, uttering three words.
"I'm sorry..."
At this mont, Mr. Hua could only comfort himself that this wasn't the Forty-Nine City. Even if he lost all dignity today, there was no need to worry that this scandal would reach others' ears.
After this simple apology, Mr. Hua looked over at Xu Fan.
He had done everything he was supposed to; this guy should release him now, right?
"Louder, I can't hear you."
With one glance at Xu Fan, he saw an unsatisfied expression.
Xu Fan dug his ear and then dropped a sentence.
"..."
The aning was clear: Xu Fan needed an apology that was nearly perfect in both volu and attitude.
In other words, he had to lie down like a dog today to please the crowd in front of them in order to survive.
The anger in Mr. Hua's heart burned even more fiercely.
At this mont, he wanted to kill the people in front of him, to let them know he wasn't soone to be trifled with.
But realizing Xu Fan's fierce gaze nearby, his anger dissipated harmlessly.
"I'm sorry, everyone, this ti, I offended you."
For the sake of his life, Mr. Hua adjusted his attitude to the extre humility.
"Xu Fan..."
A grandmaster-level expert kneeling so humbly to apologize was unprecedented; everyone now felt their anger dissipate.
Worried that Xu Fan would continue to advocate for himself, causing bigger problems, they all looked at Xu Fan and shook their heads.
Just hoping that Xu Fan could know when to stop.
"Alright, since everyone is satisfied, you can get out."
Finally, Xu Fan relented, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Hua breathed a sigh of relief as well.
He very clearly understood that now he had best be honest and leave here quickly.
As for dealing with this kid, it would wait until he was safe.
Lowering his head in silence, he walked towards the door.
"Hm?"
As he was leaving, footsteps were heard coming from outside the reception hall, and at the entrance, an old man appeared, surrounded by several military personnel.
"Father, how co..."
Guan Shanhai looked up and saw the old man, his eyes filled with astonishnt.
You should know, the old man hadn't fully recovered yet, and now he was rushing to the military district; what was he planning to do?
"Old man Guan?"
Mr. Hua also recognized Old Man Guan.
Before coming to Jinling, he had investigated the personnel of the Jinling Military District.
He knew that this old man was the major decision-maker in the military district, and now rushing here, he surely knew who he was.
At this mont, the suppressed hatred in his heart gradually rose!
Originally thinking he would have to leave here, report to Forty-Nine City, before being able to get back what he had lost.
Now it seed, the humiliation he just suffered could soon be returned to Xu Fan, entirely!
"Old man Guan."
Believing this old man would be more reasonable than Xu Fan, he should know what trouble would co if he was unhappy.
To avoid expanding the trouble, this old man would likely sell out Xu Fan!
When that ti cos, there would be no need to act himself, and Xu Fan would definitely suffer!
"Old man Guan, is this how you teach your subordinates?"
Setting aside previous restraint, Mr. Hua angrily confronted Old Man Guan.
Though his injuries had been healed by Xu Fan, Old Man Guan's complexion still required care.
He coughed twice and then chuckled, "What's the matter? Mr. Hua, did my kids offend you?"
Old Man Guan's attitude was fairly polite, and having recognized him, Mr. Hua was estimating that he knew his important status in Forty-Nine City.
He snorted and directly began to complain.
"Humph, more than offend ?"
"The boy found by your people caught off guard and attacked , as if that wasn't enough, stood by and watched be humiliated."
"Is this the hospitality of your Jinling?"
Mr. Hua coldly looked at Old Man Guan, speaking in a cold voice, "I ca all the way here to help you, and this is how you treat ; don't you think you're being excessive?"
"Or should I report the situation to those above?"
"You!"
Guan Shanhai beside him, hearing Mr. Hua's words, suddenly flushed with anger!
This guy's aggressive behavior was barely disguised, now directly pinning the superior against his father.
The intention was clear; obviously, he wanted the old man to bow to him, then use the old man's hand to deal with Xu Fan!
Shaless!
Guan Shanhai was cursing in his heart and felt regret.
Knowing this guy would flip so quickly, he should have let Xu Fan deal with him earlier to prevent future problems!
"Haha, is that so?"
Being older than Mr. Hua for so many years, Old Man Guan remained calm in the face of his accusations.
He stroked his mustache and then looked over at Xu Fan.
His eyes were full of love and gratitude.
"Mr. Hua, if I'm not mistaken, the young man who 'attacked' you must be him?"
"If not him, who else could it be?"
Mr. Hua maliciously looked over at Xu Fan!
With the old man right by his side, there was no worry that Xu Fan would dare to act recklessly!
He looked at Xu Fan with a cold smile, quite looking forward to seeing Xu Fan suffer.
Helping these soldiers? Ridiculous, now that he's pressing them down, aren't they still bound to sell you out?
What does the taste of everyone leaving feel like, Mr. Hua knew that soon, Xu Fan would taste it.
"Old Man Guan, I now represent Forty-Nine City, but this is the treatnt I receive."
"I hope you can give a good explanation, or you can handle this yourselves."
"Haha, Mr. Hua needs an explanation, I naturally should give you a good one."
Despite Mr. Hua's aggressive stance, Old Man Guan still flashed a smile.
He smiled and directly looked over at Xu Fan.
"Boy, was it you who hit him earlier?"
"Yes, that's right, it was ."
Confident in the old man, Xu Fan nodded and admitted it without hesitation.
"Good, well done."
"What?"
Hearing Xu Fan's response, Old Man Guan called out well done.
Mr. Hua heard this and his smugness disappeared, looking at Old Man Guan in shock.
Old Man Guan smiled at Mr. Hua, saying, "Xu Fan, show again how you just did it."
"This old man has rested for so long and would like to see a good show."
