"You want to fight me?" Looking at the burly man, whose body was covered in muscle, standing before him and staring down with contempt, his gaze like he was looking at a kindergartner, Zhang Fan found it amusing.
This burly man did possess some strength, but he was only at the Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength. Let alone Zhang Fan, perhaps even Lin Ruyue or Geng Lesheng could handle him.
He hadn't even cultivated true qi. With Zhang Fan's current peak strength in the Divine Sea Realm, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could knock him over with a single breath.
"What, scared?" Jin Guomin stood beside the burly man, staring at Zhang Fan and sneering.
Zhang Fan and his table had experienced a bigger commotion at Jiulong Shifu earlier. How could they be afraid of this muscle-bound man? Even Su Xuan, who had the least experience, remained calm and unconcerned.
Zhang Fan and his table's composure led the onlookers to speculate inwardly, wondering if they possessed such immense backing to remain so calm.
"If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I can spare your life," Zhang Fan said seriously.
"Looking for death! Break his legs and make him kneel before me!" Jin Guomin's eyes flashed with malice as he gave the order.
Hearing the command, the burly man took a step forward, directly crossing over to Zhang Fan's side, and reached out to grab him.
However, facing the burly man's attack, Zhang Fan remained calmly reclined on the sofa, making no attempt to dodge.
"It's over, this is the price of showing off!"
"Yeah, what was he thinking, learning to show off at such a young age? Not only will he not get the money, but his legs might not be safe either."
"I've heard of that Jin Guomin before. Someone who had a business conflict with him was designed to be run over on the highway, and even the police couldn't do anything."
...
Jin Guomin watched the scene coldly, sneering inwardly. Zhang Fan's arrogance and brazenness were exactly what he wanted to see. This way, he not only had an excuse to attack him but could also save the one million his son had lost.
"Stop!" Just as the burly man's palm was about to land on Zhang Fan, Manager Wang, dragging his corpulent body, finally ran down from upstairs.
Hearing the hearty, resonant voice, everyone present turned to look.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Jin Guomin's expression also changed slightly. He then plastered on a smile and went to greet him, "Manager Wang, that brat spoke disrespectfully to me and set a trap to swindle my son. Is it too much for me to teach him a lesson?"
This Manager Wang was merely a lobby manager, whom Jin Guomin naturally didn't put in his eyes. However, the person behind him was someone Jin Guomin had to take seriously.
He spoke these words while seeking the opinion of the person behind him.
However, facing Boss Jin, who was smiling and worth hundreds of millions, Manager Wang unexpectedly showed no smile.
His expression was solemn, and he stared intently at Jin Guomin, saying, "My boss said that if you dare to make a move in the bar, you and your son won't be able to leave this bar."
"This..."
Hearing this, the faces of Jin Guomin and his son changed drastically. Neither of them had expected that Fatty Wang, who always wore a kind smile, would say something so serious today.
Brother Yang, standing beside Jin Cheng, and his girlfriend also showed a slight change in expression. Brother Yang pulled the girl and retreated, moving further away from Jin Cheng.
Similarly, the onlookers surrounding the bar were also surprised that Manager Wang would show so little deference to Jin Guomin, even uttering such a serious threat.
After saying this, Manager Wang no longer paid attention to the Jin Guomin father and son. Instead, he put on a smile and walked towards Zhang Fan's table.
"Mr. Zhang, Miss Qin, I apologize for what happened in our bar today. My boss said that he will definitely give you both a satisfactory explanation," Manager Wang said, bowing respectfully.
Seeing Manager Wang's demeanor, Jin Guomin felt an ominous premonition. Could these young people truly have such formidable backgrounds to have been so confident from beginning to end?
Facing Manager Wang, who was smiling humbly, Zhang Fan said calmly, "It's not that easy to satisfy me."
"Mr. Zhang, please, just say it. We will do our best to cooperate." Seeing Zhang Fan's calm expression, Manager Wang's smile became even more respectful.
"Seeing your sincerity, I will tell you my thoughts." Zhang Fan turned to look at the Jin Guomin father and son, his half-smile making them both inwardly flinch.
"He just said he wanted to break my legs and make me kneel before him. Since that's the case, break his legs first and make him kneel to speak," Zhang Fan pointed at Jin Guomin and said.
"How dare you!" Jin Guomin's eyes widened in fury upon hearing this.
"Do you dare?" Zhang Fan turned to Manager Wang, smiling.
Hearing this request, Manager Wang became hesitant. While Zhang Fan and his group might have a significant background, directly breaking Jin Guomin's legs would likely lead to an irreconcilable feud.
Furthermore, he was not qualified to issue such an order.
Seeing Manager Wang's hesitant expression, Jin Guomin's anger slightly subsided. At least Manager Wang's reaction made him realize that he still held some weight.
Manager Wang's hesitation made the atmosphere slightly subtle. Everyone was uncertain how the situation would develop.
On one side was Jin Guomin with his fierce bodyguard, and on the other was Zhang Fan, who appeared weak but had been calm throughout.
"If you dare not, then I will have to take action myself?" Zhang Fan stared at the hesitant Manager Wang, saying with a half-smile, "However, if I act, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, everyone present scoffed inwardly. With his small frame, if he truly dared to act, he probably wouldn't even withstand a single punch from the fierce bodyguard. How much damage could he cause?
Manager Wang, hearing this, broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know how strong Zhang Fan's combat power was, but he knew that this was a formidable individual who had dared to beat up the young master of the Qi family.
If he could win, it would be fine. But if he lost and got injured, their bar couldn't afford to bear the consequences.
Just as Zhang Fan was about to stand up, the owner of the bar, Li Yuan, finally appeared. Following him were four tall, strong men in black suits, whose physiques were no less imposing than Boss Jin's bodyguard.
These were his four most powerful ace fighters, who supported his various establishments in Yan Jing. Each of them possessed the strength of Great Accomplishment of Inner Strength.
If nothing else, on this bar street alone, he owned at least five bars. Without powerful fighters, how could he maintain order in the bars?
