Chapter 506 Tensions Rising!
“You know me?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Of course, who in the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces doesn’t know about Mr. Fang defeating the newly promoted Martial Saint Chen Luo?” Li Tian smiled.
Fang Yu remained silent.
The confidence and composure Li Tian displayed was quite outstanding among people his age.
“However, Young Master Chen Yi from the Chen family is also here today. I would appreciate it if Mr. Fang could do me a favor and try not to conflict with him,” Li Tian said, glancing behind him.
“Chen Yi is here too? How come I haven’t seen him?” Fang Yu asked, looking around.
“Young Master Chen is upstairs talking with Prince Joyce. Since Mr. Fang has arrived, let’s go upstairs together,” Li Tian said.
Just then, footsteps could be heard from upstairs.
Sensing waves of sacred energy, Fang Yu looked up.
A middle-aged man with a full gray-white beard and a large build appeared on the second-floor balcony.
He wore luxurious clothing and countless gold and silver jewelry on his wrists and fingers, exuding an extremely powerful aura of authority.
He placed both hands on the second-floor railing and looked down toward Li Tian’s position.
“Which one is Fang Yu?” the man asked in English.
The originally noisy hall was interrupted by this man’s voice and fell quiet.
“Prince Joyce, this person next to me is Fang Yu,” Li Tian said, looking up.
Prince Joyce shifted his gaze and stared directly at Fang Yu standing beside Li Tian.
The downward angle and his naturally imposing presence made all guests in the hall tense up, their expressions becoming solemn.
This was a prince of the European royal family! A true authority!
“You are Fang Yu?” Prince Joyce stared at Fang Yu for a good while before speaking.
“That’s me,” Fang Yu replied calmly.
The surrounding guests mostly felt that Fang Yu’s name sounded familiar. After thinking carefully, they recalled the name that had recently shocked the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces!
Fang Yu!
Was this the Fang Yu who defeated Chen Luo!?
The incident had caused such a sensation that perhaps ordinary people in the secular world still hadn’t heard about it.
But everyone present was either from the highest echelon of the secular world or from martial arts families.
Fang Yu’s name was extremely well-known to them!
Some guests present had attended the exchange meeting held at the East Sea Restaurant recently and personally witnessed Fang Yu severely injuring Prince Joyce’s son, Ares!
This meant that Prince Joyce and Fang Yu had a tremendous grudge!
And now these two were meeting here!
Prince Joyce stared at Fang Yu, his aura reaching its peak.
Many guests felt their hearts pounding.
But Fang Yu still maintained a calm and composed expression.
Li Tian, standing beside Fang Yu, gave him a deep look, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
“What did you want to discuss by meeting me?” Fang Yu asked.
“I just wanted to personally confirm one thing: were my two sons injured by you?” Prince Joyce asked in a deep voice.
Though his tone didn’t contain anger, it carried immense pressure!
All the guests in the hall genuinely felt a weight on their shoulders!
“Yes, I injured them,” Fang Yu answered without hesitation, and then asked, “So? Are you here to avenge your sons?”
Hearing Fang Yu’s highly provocative words, everyone around changed their expressions.
Especially on the second floor, the group from the Nord royal family standing behind Joyce immediately looked displeased.
Chen Yi stood behind this group.
Although he hadn’t seen Fang Yu, he had heard his words and a vicious smile appeared on his face.
Who did Fang Yu think he was facing?
This was Prince Joyce from the Nord royal family of Europe, a person whose status and wealth were among the world’s top tier!
Such provocation would surely anger Prince Joyce!
Offending someone of this caliber wasn’t something one could easily escape from!
No matter how good Fang Yu was at fighting, he couldn’t possibly withstand the wrath of the entire Nord royal family!
Qin Lang, standing not far from Fang Yu, sighed inwardly.
Things were developing in the direction he least wanted to see.
He had thought too simply.
How could a big shot like Prince Joyce swallow the anger of his sons being beaten?
Upon seeing Fang Yu, he naturally couldn’t maintain a friendly attitude!
After Fang Yu’s words, the entire place fell into dead silence.
Prince Joyce stared at Fang Yu, a cold glint appearing in his azure pupils.
From Fang Yu’s perspective, he could feel the sacred energy within the prince growing stronger.
To be honest, Fang Yu was looking forward to confronting Prince Joyce.
Judging from his aura, this man’s strength should far exceed that of his two sons.
If he could absorb the sacred power from his body, the benefits would certainly be substantial.
Prince Joyce stared intently at Fang Yu.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
But at this moment, Prince Joyce suddenly broke into a smile.
He extended his right hand, pointing at Fang Yu, and said, “You are the most gutsy Nine Provinces person I’ve ever met. If this were Europe, I would twist your head off without hesitation. But today, I won’t do that.”
“I came to Nandu just to discuss business. I’m a foreigner, and I must respect the rules of your Nine Provinces.”
“I won’t do things that violate the rules.”
After saying this, Prince Joyce stroked his beard and looked at the other guests in the hall.
“I’m very pleased that so many people want to cooperate with me, but unfortunately, I can only choose one partner in the end.”
“So, everyone will have to compete. Show me your strength and sincerity.”
Prince Joyce laughed and turned to walk back to the private room behind him.
As he turned around, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by endless coldness and killing intent.
The hall remained silent.
The last two paragraphs Prince Joyce said, taken separately, sounded normal.
He said he was a foreigner and would abide by the rules of the Nine Provinces, not taking action against Fang Yu.
Then, he said whoever wanted to cooperate with him needed to show sufficient strength and sincerity!
Combined, the meaning became very clear.
Whoever could help him deal with Fang Yu would become his partner!
That was Prince Joyce’s true intention!
None of the guests present were fools.
They understood Prince Joyce’s meaning very clearly.
Everyone focused their attention on Fang Yu.
But most people were backing down in their hearts.
Deal with Fang Yu!? How was that possible?
After all, Fang Yu had just recently defeated Chen Luo, who was known as a prodigy!
Cooperating with the Nord royal family would indeed bring extremely high benefits.
It could even be said that whichever family became the Nord royal family’s partner would stand at the peak of Xiang City.
But no matter how great the benefits, life was more important.
Offending a top martial artist like Fang Yu would bring disaster to an entire family!
“Whoever wants to do it can do it! I’m not getting involved!” Many guests thought to themselves.
Fang Yu stood in place, looking around.
Wherever his gaze swept, those guests would lower their heads and avoid eye contact, afraid of being noticed by Fang Yu.
Finally, Fang Yu looked at Li Tian.
Li Tian still wore a gentlemanly smile and didn’t avoid Fang Yu’s gaze at all.
“Do you have anything to eat here? I’m a bit hungry,” Fang Yu said.
“Of course,” Li Tian turned around and summoned a uniformed attendant.
“Mr. Fang, whatever you want to eat, just order it. The kitchen will prepare it quickly,” Li Tian said.
“Just get me something, as long as it’s filling,” Fang Yu said.
Li Tian gave the attendant a look.
The attendant immediately bowed and turned to leave.
“Mr. Fang, would you like to go upstairs and sit for a while?” Li Tian asked.
“Oh? You think he and I can sit down and chat?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“I think the conflict between you two still has a chance to be resolved,” Li Tian smiled.
“No need to resolve it. If the conflict were resolved, wouldn’t you lose a competition opportunity?” Fang Yu said suggestively.
Li Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Since Prince Joyce has come to Xiang City, he will eventually find a partner, which has nothing to do with Mr. Fang.”
“Fine, find me a place to sit,” Fang Yu said.
“Certainly, please follow me,” Li Tian led Fang Yu and Qin Lang upstairs.
Ten guards stood at the door of Prince Joyce’s private room.
Li Tian led Fang Yu into the adjacent private room.
“Mr. Fang, Young Master Qin, please wait here for a moment. The food will arrive soon. I’ll go attend to other guests first,” Li Tian said before turning and leaving.
After leaving the private room, Li Tian glanced at Prince Joyce’s room but didn’t go downstairs. Instead, he walked to the elevator door nearby.
After entering the elevator, he input a series of passwords on the touch panel.
The elevator immediately went down.
From the buttons on the touch panel, the building had only five floors with no basement levels.
However, the elevator eventually stopped at basement level three.
Li Tian walked out of the elevator.
This was a dimly lit basement where the surroundings were barely visible.
Before Li Tian could speak, he heard the sound of chains rattling.
“What is it?”
An extremely hoarse male voice came from the shadows ahead.
“Help me deal with someone,” Li Tian said coldly.
