Chapter 1577 - 1453: Li Family’s Banquet
"Haha, is Huaxia really so great? We in Korea are already a developed country, while Huaxia is still a developing country. Economically, we completely crush you. What do you have to be proud of?"
A middle-aged fat man laughed heartily, his tone full of disdain.
Kong Ningshuang’s pretty face turned cold, her black hair slightly moving, a gleam of light flashing in her eyes as she coldly said, "Huaxia has always been a land of courtesy, with a profound culture. Spreading our Huaxia culture to the world is the pride of us Huaxia people. Now you’re mocking us with our own culture, isn’t that ridiculous?"
Kong Ningshuang’s voice was cold and proud. In ancient times, Korea had to rely on Huaxia and was a vassal state. Now these people are so arrogant, not seeing Huaxia clearly.
Even the always cool Kong Ningshuang felt dissatisfaction in her heart.
The people from the Li Family were about to retort, but then they heard Li Taiqing angrily say, "Enough, everyone sit down!"
The Family Head was angry, and these people looked very embarrassed. They didn’t know why the Family Head favored these two, but they had no choice but to sit down helplessly.
"Mr. Ye Qingfeng." Li Taiqing turned his gaze to Ye Qingfeng.
Ye Qingfeng simply signed his name on the agreement, then stood up and said blandly, "Alright, let’s go."
"Mr. Ye Qingfeng, when are you leaving Korea?" Li Taiqing asked from behind.
"Tomorrow, after the handover is complete, I’ll leave." Ye Qingfeng replied coolly.
"There’s a banquet tonight at Han River Manor. So as not to disturb Mr. Ye Qingfeng, why don’t you stay at the villa on the mountain top?" Li Taiqing suggested.
Everyone’s expression changed drastically. The villa on the mountain is reserved for the most elite of the Li Family. What’s wrong with the Family Head, treating this young man so well?
But since properties worth over a hundred billion were given away, these small matters didn’t matter, so everyone remained silent.
"Alright..."
Ye Qingfeng nodded and left with Kong Ningshuang.
Mountain top villa.
Han River Manor, built against the mountain, spans thousands of acres, offering stunning scenery and grandeur beyond measure.
The villa where Ye Qingfeng stayed is the best-located one atop the mountain. From the balcony, one could overlook the entire Han River Manor.
"Ye Qingfeng, I have a question for you."
Standing on the balcony, Kong Ningshuang suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
"Don’t you have any sense of loyalty to your country?" Kong Ningshuang asked with furrowed brows.
"What?"
"I’ve followed you and found that you completely disregard national laws, even confronting the police and opposing the Divine Guard. By doing so, you’re totally ignoring the existence of the nation!" Kong Ningshuang said.
"Isn’t that how you martial artists from the Ancient Martial World behave? Do you follow laws in the Ancient Martial World?" Ye Qingfeng retorted.
"Yes, but people in the Ancient Martial World still see themselves as Huaxia people. Earlier, when someone insulted Huaxia, you remained indifferent. Do you not care about the country? Don’t you care about us Huaxia people?"
Kong Ningshuang said coldly.
"I do, and I don’t."
Ye Qingfeng gave an ambiguous answer.
Kong Ningshuang’s eyes flickered slightly. She didn’t expect Ye Qingfeng to be so decisive. What kind of person would disregard even their own country? Is such a person too inhumane?
Time passed, and by dusk, guests started arriving at Han River Manor. Ye Qingfeng could overlook the many rare luxury cars entering the manor from the main gate.
However, Han River Manor is so vast that just one banquet didn’t make it bustling all over.
Especially from the villa where Ye Qingfeng stayed, placed on the mountain top, far from the area with the banquet villas, completely undisturbed.
Standing on the balcony, Ye Qingfeng had no interest at all in the banquet. Once the Hanxing Li Family withdrew their people tomorrow, he would leave and return to Huaxia.
He knew Wan Potian was waiting for him in Huaxia.
"Wan Potian, will you choose to kill me?"
Ye Qingfeng’s eyes flickered gently.
He wasn’t afraid; though not Wan Potian’s match in strength, he didn’t worry about his own safety.
With his skills, self-protection was sufficient. If Wan Potian harbored murderous intentions towards him, Ye Qingfeng would become his nightmare.
Below, more and more luxury cars arrived at Han River Manor, and within an hour, over a thousand people were present.
Among them, only around a hundred were truly important figures, the rest were bodyguards and assistants, all from Korea’s most illustrious circles.
Just having a wealth of a billion wouldn’t grant you entry to a Hanxing Li Family banquet; you’d need a significant political standing.
This is the stature of the Hanxing Li Family in Korea, backed by the massive Hanxing business empire, making the Li Family undoubtedly the most powerful family in Korea.
By this time, the sky had darkened, and several more luxury cars drove into the Li Family’s manor.
Leading them was an extended Lincoln.
"Is this the Li Family?"
Sitting inside the extended Lincoln, Jian Lingling was already a bit shocked just by seeing the grand gate, which indicated the Li Family’s majesty.
The surrounding hundreds of meters had been bought by the Li Family and sealed off completely.
As the car entered Han River Manor, Jian Lingling was even more stunned by its vastness, security posts every ten steps, guards every hundred, all with impeccable posture.
The Jian Family had martial artists, and Jian Lingling could sense that some of these Guards were genuine martial artists, with not-so-simple strength.
"This is the Li Family’s Han River Manor; how about it, luxurious, right?" Hua Yun’er said with a slight pride in her voice while holding Jian Lingling’s arm beside her.
It seemed like this Han River Manor belonged to the Hua Family.
"Yes, indeed, very luxurious and grand. This is what a true wealthy family looks like, a cross-national tycoon." Jian Lingling smiled lightly, admiringly.
While internally shaken by Han River Manor, as the Jian Family Patriarch for long, she was used to not showing emotions easily.
Not receiving the expected surprise, Hua Yun’er couldn’t help but say, "Of course, the Li Family is undoubtedly Korea’s top family. Such a luxurious estate is unseen in Huaxia."
Jian Lingling smiled faintly, like a lotus blooming gently in the wind, without replying.
"Yun’er, don’t say more. Huaxia is vast with much heritage. Such estates naturally exist." Hua Zhongxing gently admonished.
After speaking, he looked at Jian Lingling with eyes lighting up, amazed by her beauty and purity, and then showed a warm smile.
Jian Lingling acted indifferent.
