Chapter 261 - 261 Tang Sect (Fourth Update)



At that moment, Shen Jun still had no idea what had happened. All he saw was Xue An saying a few words in R Country’s language to Chuanye.

Then, as if seeing their Emperor, Chuanye’s young master kept bowing and scraping, nodding and bowing nonstop, before making his departure.

Shen Jun stepped forward, ready to ask what exactly was going on.

But to his surprise, as soon as Chuanye’s young master saw him, he became livid.

In Chuanye’s eyes, had it not been for Shen Jun, he would have never visited the Shen Family, nor would he have encountered this terrifyingly powerful person!

Luckily, this terrifying figure was in a good mood today, otherwise he would have died long ago.

Haven’t all those wealthy families and Sword Saints in Tokyo perished at his hand?

In comparison, his Chuanye conglomerate couldn’t even amount to a fart!

Therefore, Chuanye’s young master raised his hand and viciously slapped Shen Jun across the face, cursing loudly.

“Damn it!”

Shen Jun was stunned by the slap.

Afterward, Chuanye’s young master turned to Xue An and nodded obsequiously before quickly scurrying away.

The atmosphere in the room became awkward.

Shen Jun, touching his swollen reddened half-face, gazed flickeringly.

Shen Kang was also flabbergasted.

He did not understand what had just happened.

This friend of his daughter had merely said a few words, and Chuanye’s young master, who had initially been full of bluster, acted as if he had seen a deity, turning pale with fear.

Who on earth is this man…?

Shen Kang looked at Xue An with some puzzlement.

Meanwhile, hearing the commotion in the living room, Shen Nan and An Yan also came out.

“Dad, what’s going on?” Shen Nan asked in astonishment.

Before Shen Kang could speak, Shen Jun had already snorted coldly, “What’s going on? Hah! Miss High and Mighty, you have no idea, do you!”

“Know what?” Shen Nan looked completely baffled.

Shen Kang frowned, “Shen Jun!”

But Shen Jun couldn’t hold back. “Uncle, this matter can’t be hidden. Just tell her!”

Shen Kang’s expression shifted, then his shoulders slumped as he let out a long sigh and sat down on the couch, saying nothing.

“Dad, what exactly happened?” The tremor in Shen Nan’s voice grew.

Shen Jun sneered, “Cousin, our Shen Family has offended a powerful figure. The company has entered a dire situation and is on the verge of bankruptcy!”

Shen Jun’s words dropped like a bomb, leaving Shen Nan’s face ashen.

“Dad, is what Shen Jun said true?”

Shen Kang let out another heavy sigh and nodded.

Shen Nan stood in shocked silence, her face a mask of astonishment.

Shen Jun continued, “With the company in such a state, no one is willing to buy it, and if they are, the offers are very low! After a lot of hardship, I finally found a company from R Country willing to discuss acquisition! But then…”

Shen Jun pointed at Xue An, his face filled with resentment, “This guy just had to show up and completely ruin the deal!”

The room fell silent.

After a long pause, Shen Nan finally managed a bitter smile, “I think, Brother Xue must have meant well!”

“Good intentions?” Shen Jun sneered.

“Are good intentions of any use? The company is about to go bankrupt, and once the bankruptcy proceedings start, it’ll be worthless! Although I don’t know what he said, he somehow made that company from Country R run off, but I guess he never had good intentions!” Shen Jun said with a face full of resentment.

Xue An’s expression was calm, showing no emotion, just quietly observing Shen Nan.

He wanted to see how this young girl would react.

Shen Nan’s expression changed, but eventually, she firmed up and said to Shen Jun, “Regardless, he is still my friend, and you have no evidence. How can you slander people like this?”

“I’m slandering people?” Shen Jun felt a bit guilty inside, but still retorted with feigned toughness and was about to say more.

A detached voice came through, “You should be very clear why I stopped the signing. Do I need to say what agreement you’ve reached with the people from Country R?”

At these words, Shen Kang, who had been bowing his head, looked up at Xue An with a shocked expression.

“What are you talking about?” Shen Kang asked.

Xue An smiled faintly, “This, you should ask your dear nephew here!”

Shen Jun’s complexion turned pale, but he still refused to concede, “Uncle, don’t listen to his nonsense. How could I possibly betray the Shen Family?”

“And the key point now is, if no one is willing to buy our company, how are we going to get through what comes next?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Kang’s expression faded again and he nodded wearily, “If it comes to it, I’ll just sell to that group of people from M Country.”

After speaking, Shen Kang’s face was filled with despair.

Shen Nan, seeing this, felt a pang of sorrow, and her tears involuntarily fell.

She had never seen her father so powerless and desperate.

Suddenly, she turned around, looked at Xue An with a trembling voice, “Xue Brother, can you… help our Shen Family?”

This was Shen Nan’s last glimmer of hope.

Because she had once seen Xue An perform the miraculous feat of levitating, in Shen Nan’s mind, Xue An was like an Immortal, omnipotent.

If Xue Brother stopped Father from signing and said Shen Jun had a guilty conscience, then he must surely have a way to help the Shen Family!

Upon hearing this, disdain nearly overflowed from Shen Jun’s face.

“Him? Haha, cousin, don’t be naive! Do you know who our Shen Family has offended this time?”

Shen Nan turned to look at her father, “Dad, who exactly is trying to destroy the Shen Family? Speak up, Xue Brother might have a solution!”

Shen Kang gave a bitter smile and shook his head, “It’s no use, that person, there aren’t many in M Country who can afford to offend him!”

Hearing this, Shen Nan’s heart grew cold, but still, she clung to that last shred of hope and asked, “Who is it, exactly?”

Shen Kang hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply, “It’s Tang Sect!”

Tang Sect!

These two words, even to Shen Nan, who didn’t quite understand the social relationships in M Country, turned her complexion pale.

“And it’s Han Jun from Tang Sect’s Great Elder,” Shen Jun added, then looked at Xue An with a provocative glare.

“I really want to ask, how could your Xue Brother, with his vast connections, settle the score with Tang Sect?”

The tone was full of mockery.

Shen Nan lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew what Shen Jun was saying was true; after all, in M Country, Tang Sect’s power was immense, not something the Shen Family, let alone old-established families, could afford to provoke.

“Mr. Xue, although I don’t know why you stopped me from signing the contract, you are, after all, a friend of my daughter. Now that the Shen Family is in trouble, if it’s convenient for you, please leave us. I’m very sorry!” Shen Kang said in a defeated tone.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressively tense, but just at that moment, Xue An raised his head and smiled slightly.

“Tang Sect? Good, I have a score to settle with them!”
