Chapter 1056: Gathering of Familiar Faces
In society, various things often seem trivial, but once interests expand and so-called remarkable figures appear, matters will be blown up indefinitely.
Take the crack in the mountain, for instance. When Liu Zixuan and his group entered, it looked shaky, almost like it was about to collapse. But with the Star Pavilion Alliance elders arriving, a relatively flat path was paved.
Liu Zixuan and his group walked out following the crack, and the number of people outside didn’t decrease, but rather increased.
On both sides, crowds had gathered to watch the commotion, while in front stood several men in business suits. Of course, the Star Pavilion Alliance people didn’t leave directly; instead, they waited respectfully at the entrance, as if only when Liu Zixuan and his group safely emerged would they depart with peace of mind.
Seeing so many people, Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "All of a sudden, this feels like I’m taking my wife out of the bridal chamber to the wedding room."
"Hahaha!"
The beautiful master chuckled in exasperation: "Did you notice, the real boss behind those people you just fought showed up, eyeing you like a hawk? Still thinking of going to the wedding room?"
"Brother, are they bad people?" Qiqi looked up and asked.
"Sort of, but not really." Liu Zixuan said with a hint of contradiction.
Opposing him naturally meant they were bad, but they were ordinary people, so it wouldn’t be right to bully them.
Qiqi gave a radiant smile: "If they dare bully my brother, I’ll slap them all dead with a single slap!"
Qiqi’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it wasn’t too quiet either. The men standing in suits in front could hear it clearly.
A seemingly five or six-year-old girl dared to say she’d slap them dead, making the grown men angry!
Immediately, the man who was beaten by Liu Zixuan previously stepped forward and shouted hoarsely: "Kid, I tell you, you’re in trouble, you’re in big trouble!"
"Oh? Can you tell me what big trouble I’m in?" Liu Zixuan replied with a teasing smile.
"You beat people from the Xiangyang Group, that’s a big deal. And now, even our CEO is here in person. I advise you to quickly kneel and kowtow, or you’ll be carried out of here!" The man shouted arrogantly.
"Who are you going to carry out?"
Having already annoyed Liu Zixuan, now that someone wanted to target him, the elder from the Star Pavilion Alliance naturally stepped forward to take care of things for Liu Zixuan, hoping to leave a good impression for future management of the alliance.
The elder took the lead, followed by a group of Martial Artists stepping forward, outnumbering the Xiangyang Group personnel. Additionally, the unique pressure from the Martial Artists made the Xiangyang Group men furrow their brows and subconsciously step back.
As for the man who had been aggressively shouting, he hesitated, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
His mouth twitched a few times, and he turned to shout at a middle-aged man not far away: "General Manager Xiang..."
Indeed, he was calling for help!
The man referred to as General Manager Xiang was chatting with another man and woman. Upon hearing the shout, he quickly ran over.
"Brother Xuan!"
Following General Manager Xiang was not a stranger to Liu Zixuan, but Mo Chengfeng’s sister and Gu Yu’s girlfriend, Lulu!
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow: "Why are you here?"
"I was helping Xiumei Group negotiate the business for Qian Nan, and it just so happened General Manager Xiang mentioned something interesting here, so we came along!" Lulu cheerfully came over and asked, "By the way, did my brother and Gu Yu come along with you?"
Liu Zixuan shook his head: "No, they’re still in Lingxiu Village. You can come with us later."
"But what about the business here?" Lulu showed a troubled expression.
"Leave it to me."
The man known as General Manager Xiang glared at the aggressive man, then walked up to Liu Zixuan: "Brother Xuan, don’t you recognize me?"
Liu Zixuan looked at the familiar face and slapped his forehead: "Xiangyang!"
"Hahahaha! I thought you forgot me!" Xiangyang said, shaking hands with Liu Zixuan.
The aggressive man knew Lulu’s identity; she was currently the biggest partner of the Xiangyang Group. Seeing Lulu intimately interacting with Liu Zixuan made him feel uneasy. He hadn’t expected this pretty boy to know such a figure.
But when Xiangyang respectfully greeted Liu Zixuan, the man’s legs gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground.
Unexpectedly, even his own boss had to call this man ’brother.’
Oh my God, what kind of person did I actually offend!
The arrogant man instantly lost his arrogance, instead, he became deflated.
Xiangyang chuckled awkwardly: "Really sorry, my people didn’t realize it was you coming, otherwise even if I gave them ten thousand guts, they wouldn’t dare to disrespect you!"
Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "It’s fine, as long as General Manager Xiang doesn’t mind me beating up your men!"
"Beat them, beat them as you please. These guys are worthless without a beating!" Xiangyang laughed.
"Zixuan, who’s this?" The beautiful master was somewhat confused. It seemed in her memory, Liu Zixuan didn’t know anyone named Xiangyang!
Liu Zixuan smiled and explained: "When I first came to Qian Nan, I was with Gu Yu, and then..."
"Let me tell it!"
Xiangyang picked up the story: "At that time, Brother Xuan came for the Willow Association. While dealing with them in Celestial Fate City, he helped my faltering company rise again and healed my son. He’s a great benefactor to our entire family!"
"Thud!"
The arrogant man, who had collapsed onto the ground earlier, stumbled again at this revelation. Damn, he offended the benefactor of his boss! Now, perhaps he wouldn’t even survive!
"So there’s such a backstory!" The beautiful master said with a smile.
Lulu nodded along: "It was around that time my brother, Gu Yu, and I all got to know Brother Xuan."
"Since everyone here is familiar, let’s stop talking here. Let’s go to the city, and I’ll treat everyone to dinner." Xiangyang said with a smile.
Liu Zixuan nodded and headed straight outside, not bothering to mention the arrogant man anymore.
To be frank, Liu Zixuan really didn’t care about individuals like him.
The consequences he’d face, Liu Zixuan couldn’t be bothered to know.
"Sigh!" The Star Pavilion Alliance elder sighed: "It seems impossible to get Master Xuan back to the Star Pavilion Alliance, but he’s really impressive. Not only is he great in the Martial Realm, but he’s equally outstanding in the Business World!"
"Ever since the news release, they’ve said the boyfriend of the superstar Dream Yu is an unknown person. But now it seems he’s the true big shot!"
"Yeah, I didn’t expect even the CEO of Xiangyang Group to treat him so courteously. Those rumors labeling him as a gigolo are just envious rubbish!"
People gathering outside began discussing fervently.
