Chapter 195
The butler's words were obviously provoking, as if he wanted to see what kind of relationship Hubert Qian and Fade Chen had. After all, everyone was confused that a big shot like Hubert Qian suddenly submitted to a young man.
Facing such a problem at the moment, Hubert Qian's face darkened. He knew of Fade Chen's identity, so he naturally did not try to challenge him. However, it was unacceptable for the Hu family to deliberately set a trap to make him lose face in front of everyone.
For a moment, Hubert Qian's face was gloomy and he stared at the butler coldly.
However, the butler's expression did not change. Instead, he showed a smile and said again, "What's wrong? Since Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen have such a good relationship, we can't tell who's superior and who's inferior. This is the Hu family's miscalculation. Why not I leave first to prepare two identical gifts for the two gentlemen and return with them!"
In the face of such sarcastic and provocative words, Hubert Qian's face was very gloomy. He waved his hand in annoyance, and was
immediately surrounded by his bodyguards.
But the butler's expression remained stoic. He waved his hand and gestured for two servants behind him to present the gifts. Then he looked at Hubert Qian and said, "Mr. Qian, our Old Master is thoughtful enough to s. However, what does Mr. Qian mean by this?"
Hubert Qian's expression changed when he saw the two men behind the butler. He was a little surprised and said, "Dragon Zhang, Tiger Zhao, I would never expect Shawn Hu to send these two aces over."
Shawn Hu had four skilled underdogs who were also his confidants that were equally powerful. Therefore, he named the group "Legendary Fighters of Hu Family" to assert dominance, and the title was quite renowned in Hanover City.
When the butler saw Hubert Qian's face change, he smiled faintly and said, "It was Old Master who ordered Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao to come all for the sake of Mr. Qian. Yet now, I am perplexed whether to assume if it was for the sake of Mr. Qian or Mr. Chen. Could any one of you enlighten me?"
This guy started to sow discord between them again.
Hubert Qian's face darkened. He wanted to
fight, but he didn't want to fight with the two powerhouses, Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao in his own territory. In that case, even if he could win, he would suffer heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Hubert Qian's face steeled in resolution and he sighed. He secretly made the decision that he would sacrifice his pride this time and present the larger gift to Fade Chen.
It was not that he was unintimidated by Fade Chen, nor was it that he couldn't bear to put down his pride. It was just that Hubert Qian was a big shot. When he took the initiative to make a toast just now and the news was spread, it would show that he was respectful and generous in person. Yet now, he was forced to let go of his pride and status by force. Even if others knew of Fade Chen's power and strength, the fact that he was a coward would still last in their minds. As a result, his reputation in Hanover City would definitely be tarnished.
But now, the situation was urgent and he had to make a choice. After all, Hubert Qian didn't want to start a war with the Hu Family because of minuscule matters such as these, and he didn't dare to offend Fade Chen, an unfathomable master.
Therefore, under everyone's burning gaze, Hubert Qian sighed softly, looked at Fade Chen, and said, "Mr. Chen is an honored guest, and this is a valuable gift. Of course..."
However, before Hubert Qian could finish his words, Fade Chen stood up and gently pressed Hubert Qian's hand, whispering, "Mr. Qian, you're too polite. Please, allow me!"
Hearing this, Hubert Qian couldn't help but relax his thoughts. Now, he not only feared Fade Chen, but he also respected him from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was very rare for a skilled professional like Fade Chen to stoop so low just for his dignity.
Fade Chen looked at the butler and inquired, "Your Old Master said that he would give me a gift?"
The butler was stunned momentarily before nodding, "Yes, he has passed me two gifts. Which one would you like, Mr. Chen?"
Fade Chen glanced at the butler, clasped his hands together behind his back, and started questioning, "The Hu family sent me a gift but failed to assign it properly. What kind of rule is this? Are you looking down on me? If you are not sincere enough, you can take it back. I, Fade Chen, don't lack one or two gifts."
The butler's expression fell and darkened slightly, noticeably irritated and offended. He said in a cold voice, "Mr. Chen, this is a gift personally sent from the Old Master."
"So what?" Fade Chen shot back coldly, "Is your Old Master going to force me to accept the gift?"
Just like this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. At this moment, everyone was curious and nervous. After all, Fade Chen had a dispute with the Hu Family. No one could guess how it would end. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The butler obviously did not expect something like this. After a pause, he looked at Fade Chen, then looked back at Hubert Qian and announced, "Old Master heard that Mr. Chen has been in the
limelight recently and immediately thought that there is young talent in Hanover City. It is unexpected that this person is just of a mediocre standard."
With this insult, he had officially started to direct personal attacks on them, the irritation in his eyebrows instantly clearing up and turning into glee.
Upon hearing this, Hubert Qian immediately bellowed, "Mind your words. Mr Chen is my honored guest!"
The butler smiled and said, "The Old Master has a message for Mr Qian."
"What message?" Hubert Qian frowned.
The butler continued, "The Old Master would like to know if Mr. Qian is already old and senile."
Hubert Qian retorted, "What does Shawn Hu mean by this?"
The butler said, "The Old Master said that if Mr. Qian is already weary in age, he should give up his territory and let the Old Master take charge of it."
"How dare he?" Hubert Qian was angry and shouted.
However, the butler did not budge at all. He said, "So Mr. Qian is saying that he's not old yet! In that case, the Old Master has another question. If Mr. Qian is not old, how did he become so weak and fearful of a young kid?"
"You..." Hubert Qian was furious, his eyes bloodshot. He glared at the butler and shouted, "You are courting death..."
The butler looked indifferent and said, "I'm just an old man, so Mr. Qian can feel free to do anything to me. However, it would be best if Mr. Qian, you could consider the consequences if you came
after me."
"Are you threatening me?" Hubert Qian said angrily.
"I dare not. I'm just recounting Old Master's words." The butler had no fear on his face.
And at the moment, Hubert Qian was so furious that he was about to erupt in utter madness just like a volcano. As someone who was of equal standing and fame as Shawn Hu, to be ridiculed by a mere servant was simply unheard of.
Gritting his teeth, Hubert Qian was ready to charge at him. However, Fade Chen stopped him in the nick of time and assured, "Mr. Qian, the matter is caused by me. Let me handle it."
With this, Fade Chen walked down and looked at the smiling butler. He said, "Go back and tell your Old Master that if he is dissatisfied with me, he can come directly at me. Don't beat around the bush. Otherwise, in my opinion, he is just a coward without guts."
"You..." The butler was angry when he heard this. He sneered and looked at Fade Chen with disdain. "Not everyone is qualified to talk to Old Master."
"Really?" Fade Chen's eyes were cold. He slapped the butler in the face and said coldly, "Am I qualified now?"
