Chu Feng spoke up, “He returned the deed and Ma Sanyuan paid the price by personally showing up to kowtow and apologize.”
“Yeap, and I made him do that.” Sun Mingxuan arrogantly held his head high and said, “One word from my uncle, and he showed up that very night to compensate and beg for forgiveness from us. He was terrified of us. I’m sure that you didn’t know about this? Tsk tsk. I don’t expect small fry like you to understand top-secret stuff like this.”
"Oh, you did that?" A corner of Chu Feng's lips lifted into an amused smile. “Your uncle is just a third-in-command, and you think that he can command Ma Sanyuan, who’s worth three billion and has controlled Jiangling for over 20 years?”
“What do you mean by that?” Sun Mingxuan’s face fell immediately and he scoffed, “Tell him, Ying Ying. Which of your poor-as-heck relatives has the power to do that. Except for my uncle, who among them has the power to make Ma Sanyuan bow to us? Surely you’re not saying that you were the one who did that? What a joke!”
Zhou Ying’s expression was unreadable as she mumbled, “It’s true. That's all Mingxuan’s doing, we saw it that night.” Sun Mingxuan’s words may be cruel, but that was the fact—no one else in the Zhou family had this amount of influence.
The rich kids scoffed at this and started mocking, “I know, right? Who do you think you are to doubt Ma Sanyuan’s influence like this?”
“‘Just a third-in-command’. Do you even know what power is, you country bumpkin?”
“Ignorant. Ignorant to the core. Let’s not invite people like these in the future. He’s nowhere near our level, so there’s nothing we have in common to talk about.”
Chu Feng simply watched the rich kids put on a show for Sun Mingxuan, who was getting more and more boastful.
They would see who was the truly powerful one in a moment, so this show of flattery was just that—a show.
Just then, with the sound of pattering footsteps, a charismatic middle-aged man barged into the lounge with a whole bunch of men. His head was lowered in respect, but it was definitely Ma Sanyuan, ruler of the Jiangling underworld and Chairman of the Chamber of the Four Seas.
The rich kids instinctively stood up with fear in their expressions. This was one of the bigshots in Jiangling, after all. Of course they'd fear him.
