"But the match is round the corner, and that is more important. We'll think about how to deal with this Ye Fan after the match is over, so let him be for a few more days," said Xu Feng-Liang in a low voice.
But Xu Mei-Feng seemed to be rather anxious. "Dad, he's just a small fry, so can't we settle him quickly? Why do we have to wait? Can't we just get someone to haul him over right now?"
Xu Mei-Feng's words made Xu Feng-Liang rather displeased.
"As I said, the underground match is the most important thing that affects the Xu family's business right now. Everything else can wait until after the match! Anyone who does anything that affects our plans for the match will not be able to bear the consequences," scoffed Xu Feng-Liang. He then turned and left the hall.
Only Xu Mei-Feng was left standing there and she looked so upset.
"Mei-Feng, you have to understand your father. This match is really very important to the family. The family has been on the wane these past few years and our market share and assets have been swallowed up by many other powerful families. These are things that belong to us, and this match will determine whether we can get them back! As for Ye Fan, he's just a clown anyway, so we can afford to let him live for a few more days," Xu Feng-Fei came round to console her.
Xu Mei-Feng couldn't do anything either, so she just nodded.
"Uncle Feng, I understand. The big picture is more important! I'll let that idiot live for a few more days then," said Xu Mei-Feng in a low voice. Her eyes were filled with deep malice and coldness.
Xu Feng-Liang went by himself to a room after leaving the main hall.
Under the dim yellow lights, a resolute figure was standing by the French windows with his hands behind his back.
His deep gaze was looking out at the distance through the window.
"You're here," said the man quietly as he heard Xu Feng-Liang enter.
Xu Feng-Liang bowed slightly and his eyes were filled with respect, "Mr Hua, sorry to keep you waiting. Some things happened back home and I had to sort it out first."
"What matter requires your personal attention? Is it related to the Xue family again?" asked the man as he frowned.
Xu Feng-Liang nodded. "It does have something to do with the Xues. Or rather, it's the man whom the Xues have hired to represent them in the upcoming match. This same man was the one who made trouble in my house and not only injured my father, but also took my niece away with him."
"Oh, they've found someone new so quickly? Looks like I didn't teach the Xue family a good enough lesson the last time. Can you manage? Need my help?" The man turned around to ask Xu Feng-Liang.
Xu Feng-Liang shook his head. "No need. The match is happening in a few days. If the Xue family has decided on letting this man represent them, then Mr Hua can deal with him during the match."
"Indeed," the man nodded. "You're right. If I can defeat this man at the match, then I would not only avenge your family, but also completely humiliate the Xue family. I'll deal with him at the match then!"
"The last time I let that lunkhead get away. This time, I won't let this guy go," said the man in a sinister voice. His voice was filled with murder.
After a period of silence, Xu Feng-Liang asked a little worriedly, "Mr Hua, how confident are you for this match? The Xu family is counting entirely on this match to regain our former glory and prosperity."
