Director He swallowed and didn’t dare to say anything.

But when he saw that Zhang Hanyang didn’t look at him at all, he involuntarily began to rack his brains and hurriedly said, “Sorry, I’m not in charge of this matter. I have some other things to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself.”

After saying that while feeling on tenterhooks, Director He glanced at Zhang Han’s face from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that there was no response, he turned around and strode away without looking back. He quickly got into a car. After driving for a few miles, he finally let out a long breath of relief and patted his chest.

“Oh my god, with Zhang Hanyang taking control of the situation, wouldn’t the Xia family be smashing their heads against an iron plate?”

“Fortunately, I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t. Otherwise, if Zhang Hanyang got angry, who could afford the consequences? He is the Young Lord of the Heavenly Knights Sect, and even Immortal King Chen takes orders from him. He is too scary.”

Director He was still in a state of shock.

He didn’t dare to imagine what would happen over there. He imagined that the Xia Clan was getting more and more overbearing, and so Zhang Hanyang couldn’t help but rebuke them. Then, the Xia family didn’t listen because they didn’t know him and Zhang Hanyang killed them all in anger. Or perhaps someone in the Xia Clan recognized him and was terrified. Then they hurried to apologize, pay the compensation, and beg Zhang Han to spare their lives. Was there a third way out? Probably no.

That was what Director He believed.

But there would always be some differences between reality and imagination.

Zhang Han sat at the back and waited quietly without saying a word.

On the contrary, the words Director He said and his looks caused Patriarch Xia and the Xia Clan to dart more glances toward Jiang Tongtong and his men.

“There seemed to be something unusual in his look.”

Patriarch Xia had a keen sense and noticed something odd.

He looked at those men several times and finally fixed his eyes on Zhang Han.

“He was the one Director He cast a glance at just now!”

Because he was the only one present with a calm face.

Patriarch Jiang, a group of high-ups of the Jiang Clan, as well as Jiang Tongtong, Fu Hongshan, and Chen Man all looked somewhat tense or uneasy. Some of them even looked very angry.

Only that man’s face was as calm as the surface of the water.

It was a little weird.

Just as Patriarch Xia was deep in thought, another group of people came in from the door. There were more than a dozen people coming in this time.

“Patriarch Hu.”

Patriarch Jiang quickly stood up to welcome him. This was his last trump card. He had paid a heavy price to invite the top-class Hu family in Ice City.

There was also a sect disciple in their family.

Sadly, things went contrary to his wishes.

Patriarch Jiang thought that there was still a chance. However, Patriarch Hu immediately remarked, “Patriarch Xia, I’m Hu Dongfeng. My son, Hu Han, is also a disciple of the sect in the Mystical Martial World. He’s been studying in the Constellation Sect. I wonder if Patriarch Xia can spare the Jiang Clan for my sake?”

Patriarch Xia frowned and looked at the young man on his left.

The Constellation Sect? Patriarch Xia didn’t know which force it belonged to.

“It’s just a small sect.” The young man in his twenties chuckled and said, “In front of the Shuiyun Sect, they are nothing but bumpkins that are worth mentioning.”

“You!”

That disciple of the Constellation Sect turned furious.

“Eh?”

The man in the God Realm glared at him, and the aura of God Realm Peak-stage rushed out. The disciple of the Constellation Sect was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t breathe. In the end, he didn’t say anything.

“This…”

The corner of Patriarch Hu’s mouth twitched. He knew that his requirement would probably not be met today.

“Just forget it. I can’t tell the Jiang Clan what to do. I’d better not offend the disciples of Shuiyun Sect.”

“Patriarch Xia, I’m sorry.”

“No problem.” Patriarch Xia nodded and smiled, as if he was talking to an old friend. “Patriarch Hu has come here to back up your friend. I understand that. Xia Ran was a little rude before. Patriarch Hu, please forgive us.”

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry.” Patriarch Hu shook his head repeatedly. “Since Patriarch Xia’s issue has been settled, there is no need to use my help then.”

After saying that, Patriarch Hu cast a meaningful look at Patriarch Jiang to show his helplessness, and then left with his men.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he couldn’t help murmuring.

“Jiang Clan has offended someone they shouldn’t have offended.”

His words made the faces of several disciples of the Jiang Clan standing outside turn pale.

Was there really no other way?

Even Patriarch Jiang’s face was drained of blood. He had lost all of his trump cards now.

“We Jiangs…”

He suddenly felt dizzy as if he was short of oxygen.

“Patriarch Jiang, will you sign this contract or not? If you don’t sign it, we’ll take our leave now,” Patriarch Xia said beamingly.

His expressions indicated that they had backed the Jiang Clan to a corner.

He was always confident because he had Xia Ran, who had not opened his eyes through the whole thing. The man looked proud and superior, as though the whole world was under her feet.

As long as he was there, Patriarch Xia was not afraid. So, even if the enemy was the Ice City, so what?

Even the director didn’t dare to mention the matter!

How dare the Jiang family went there to ask for compensation?

That was ridiculous!

In the face of Patriarch Xia’s gaze, Patriarch Jiang’s hands trembled.

He then said, “I’ll sign it, I’ll sign it!”

He seemed to be ten years older in the blind of an eye. Jiang Tongtong and Fu Hongshan both looked at Zhang Han anxiously.

“Why haven’t those that Brother Han sent for come yet?”

Although Zhang Han had the patience to wait, it didn’t mean that they had, too.

“Wait a minute!”

Fu Hongshan called out.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Several heads turned to look at them.

In particular, Xia Ran seemed to have inadvertently revealed a murderous aura.

It was a little scary.

“You…” Patriarch Jiang sighed, ready to get up to sign the papers.

“There’s no rush.”

It was not until this moment that Zhang Han made a remark, and his tone was quite flat.

Hearing Zhang Han’s words, many people looked away from Fu Hongshan and then turned to Zhang Han.

That youth in the God Realm frowned, feeling a little irritated. A wave of pressure was ready to rise as if he was going to take action.

But at this time, Patriarch Xia suddenly smiled.

“Right. There is no rush to settle this matter. Patriarch Jiang, you can sleep on this. Just let me know when you make up your mind.”

What a smiling tiger!

The meaning of his words was very clear. They were not in a hurry to deal with this matter at all. It didn’t matter if the Jiang Clan was in a hurry. But they had to go now. If the contract was not signed, well, the 30 million would be off the table for the Jiang Clan.

Patriarch Jiang’s heart was wretched when he heard that.

“Should I sign it or not?”

It seemed that Jiang Clan’s bankruptcy was a foregone conclusion.

“I’ll take my leave.”

The smile on Patriarch Xia’s face was even broader.

Just as he was about to leave with his men, Zhang Han frowned slightly and ordered, “Sit down.”

His order was obeyed as if it was law.

When Zhang Han’s words were out, the next moment, those people all sat down as if they could not help it and their bodies were no longer controlled by themselves.

“What?!”

The countenance of the young man in the God Realm changed greatly, and his face turned pale with horror.

“Who, who are you?”

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Han.

“In a few minutes, Jiang Yanlan will come here. Let’s wait for her to deal with this matter.”

Zhang Han responded blandly.

However, these words made people’s hearts skip a beat, and the face of that young man in the God Realm gradually darkened.

As the daughter of the head of the sect, Jiang Yanlan was the apple of the sect members’ eyes. In the secular world, she was the captain of Vermilion Bird detachment of the National Security Agency. If she knew this matter, the Xia family would probably have to give the full compensation.

“This…”

The Patriarch Xia couldn’t keep his smiling face anymore. His smile gradually froze. Although he couldn’t move his body, his eyes could still move. When he saw that his man in the God Realm also couldn’t move under the pressure, he felt a chill in his heart.

“Crap!”

“He is a martial artist who is above the God Realm!”

After thinking about it, he found that the Jiang Clan who were wearing a confused look didn’t seem to know who that person was.

“Who is he?”

Taking a deep breath, Patriarch Xia put on a smile again.

“May I know who this young master is? The Xia family admires masters of martial arts the most. If you want, we can again discuss this matter with Jiang Clan.”

“To get straight to the point, I want to give you face.”

But Zhang Han simply ignored him. For a smiling tiger like him, he must have many plots and schemes in his mind.

Zhang Han would perhaps be on his guard if it were a cultivator in the Natural Realm. But Patriarch Xia alone was not worth his attention at all.

“If you say one more word, you will die,” Zhang Han said calmly.

He had no intention to punish the Xia Clan himself. He just wanted to leave everything to Jiang Yanlan. However, Patriarch Xia kept stall the matter, so Zhan Hang reckoned he might need to teach him a lesson.

“Buzz!”

That remark alone made Patriarch Xia’s face alter drastically. His eyes were a little gloomy, but he didn’t dare to say anything. So did the others. The young man in the God Realm slowly closed his eyes.

Waves of horror were surging inside him.

As a martial artist on Divine List, he now couldn’t even move under the pressure issued by another man. That explained a lot.

But he wouldn’t say anything, in case he angered the other party.

Losing some money was nothing to him, but if he lost his life…

That scene stunned the Jiang Clan.

“What’s going on?”

Patriarch Jiang looked baffled. He looked back and saw Zhang Han who made that remark, all of a sudden, he had a revelation.

That man had issued such pressure that none of his opponents dared to move!

“Is this an opportunity?”

Patriarch Jiang’s face suddenly turned red with anxiety and excitement.

He cupped his hands in front of his chest in a hurry.

Just when he wanted to do the general greetings, Fu Hongshan hurriedly said, “Patriarch Jiang, Brother Han is my friend. I specially asked him to help us. Although our Jiang Clan can’t compare with the Xia Clan, we can’t stand being bullied.”

“Huh?”

Patriarch Jiang was slightly dazed. He didn’t expect that that man was this boy’s friend. “What’s his name again?”

“He is Jiang Tongtong’s fiancé, surnamed Fu, isn’t he?”

“Er…”

Patriarch Jiang hesitated.

Jiang Tongtong quickly cottoned on and said, “Patriarch Jiang, my fiancé, Hongshan, has been trying to come up with a solution for our family recently. Luckily, Brother Han came here to do some sightseeing, so Hongshan asked him to come over to help decide which side is right.”

“Hahaha, good.”

The Xia Clan was still here, but Patriarch Jiang already couldn’t help laughing.

There was a turning point now. Maybe the Jiang Clan really had a chance!

“Hongshan, well done. May I know your name, sir?” Patriarch Jiang hastily cupped his hands and asked.

“Zhang Han.”

“Mr. Zhang, thank you…”

But before he could finish his words, a cry of surprise suddenly burst out.

“You, you are Zhang Hanyang!”

The young man in the God Realm suddenly turned a little pale.

“Holy crap, it’s Zhang Hanyang from Heavenly Knights Sect! I can’t afford to offend him!”

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the eyes of those of the Jiang Clan also darted to that person.

With fear in his eyes, he kept looking left and right. Only Zhang Han knew the underlying indication of his look.

He was checking if Emperor Qing was also here or not.

“Is he afraid of Emperor Qing?”

Zhang Han found it funny.

Yes, he was amused.

He never thought that one day, he would use the fame of Chen Changqing, his fella, to scare others.

How could he not be afraid? Emperor Qing, the Immortal King Chen, was ranked first on Divine List. That man ranked 48th on the Divine List. Compared with Emperor Qing, he was nothing.

However, when the name “Zhang Hanyang” was said, the faces of the six martial artists of Jiang Clan turned horrorstruck.

“Oh my! Can’t believe he is Zhang Hanyang!”

“My son-in-law has befriended Zhang Hanyang!”

“Yes, as they said earlier, that guy has a friend who is on very good terms with the Gai Clan.”

After pondering for a while, everyone found it all made sense.

They all turned and stared at Fu Hongshan with somewhat envious looks….
