Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Restoring Order (1) Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Restoring Order (1) “You should all know, my elder brother was murdered by that wicked woman Zhang Qingning, but the old man didn’t demand their lives in compensation.

He just confined Zhang Qingning and banished my nephew Xu Fan from the Xu Family.”

He paused for a moment, then continued with a heavy sigh,

“Unexpectedly, Xu Fan harbors extreme malice towards the Xu Family.

Having found an opportunity outside, his strength has greatly increased, and now he is threatening to kill his way home.”

“After much deliberation, I, Xu Tianhu, believe we should deal with this matter carefully and prudently.

Therefore, to protect our century-old family business, I have issued a summon, hoping that you all could lend a hand, support us vigorously, and the Xu Family will surely repay your kindness afterwards.”

“Xu Fan?”

The Family Heads felt the name was somewhat familiar.

“Isn’t that new Patron of the Flame Dragon called Xu Fan?” blurted out the Family Head of the Hu Family in a sudden exclamation.

“No wonder the name sounded familiar.”

“Ah, how could it be him?”

“What should we do now?”

“Brother Xu, Xu Fan is your nephew, surely he isn’t so heartless?

Can’t we take a step back and try to mediate this?”

The Family Heads felt guilty, their voices hesitant as they thought about backing away, a stark contrast to the confident chest-thumping they displayed just moments before.

They were all actors who played to the crowd and turned with the wind.

Xu Tianhu was displeased, yet he didn’t lash out, knowing they didn’t dare to rebel.

He simply said, “You haven’t guessed wrong, it is indeed him.”

“Xu Fan thinks that with the status of a Patron from the Flame Dragon, and with the Flame Dragon as his backing, he can do whatever he wishes.

But what kind of existence is the Xu Family, a family of founding contributors to the nation?

How could we allow him to act so recklessly?”

“Gentlemen, I hope you will not be discouraged because of his status.

As long as we share a common hatred for the enemy, no matter how arrogant he is, he wouldn’t dare to offend so many families rashly, would he?”

“I can make a promise that if the Xu Family can survive this crisis, we will give three-tenths of our business, proportional to your contributions, to all of you.”

They say that great rewards bring out brave warriors.

The Family Heads who were initially backing away now hesitated.

Such significant reciprocity was truly a generous offer, and with twelve Family Heads present besides Xu Tianhu, even an equal share would amount to a vast fortune, significantly boosting their power.

If their contribution was even greater, receiving a third or a quarter share could potentially elevate their families to first-rate status.

For a moment, their breathing quickened as they seriously considered the offer.

Even though the temptation was huge, high returns also came with high risks.

While the others were lost in thought, Xu Tianhu surreptitiously made eye contact with the Family Head of the Ning Family.

Instantly comprehending, he slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and bowed his fist towards Xu Tianhu, saying, “Family Head Xu speaks too seriously.

Ning is willing to lead the elites of the Ning Family to guard the Xu Family, to share its fate, and to repel strong enemies.”

People are prone to follow the crowd.

Seeing one take the lead, the others naturally stood up one after another to express their position, eventually forming a united front to face the impending attack from Xu Fan.

Xu Tianhu didn’t hide the joy on his face.

With this alliance, they would have a few hundred protectors.

At his command to intercept Xu Fan, he didn’t believe Xu Fan would be so cruel and bloodthirsty as to cause such slaughter.

If Xu Fan really went so far as to fight his way in, he estimated that the Flame Dragon would definitely appear to stop him.

Thinking this, Xu Tianhu felt as if a weight was about to lift from his heart.

“Then, here I thank everyone for their strong support.

Come, I toast to you all.”

He lifted his glass high, toasting to everyone.

“Brother Xu is too polite.”

“It’s our duty, and I certainly remember how Brother Xu has always taken good care of us.”

“…”

The Family Heads also raised their glasses, responding in turn.

Just as they were about to drink it all in one gulp, a convoy of five BMWs stopped outside the gates of the Xu Residence.

The people from the cars got down and stood together, looking towards the Xu Residence.

Gazing at the door that she hadn’t stepped through for three years, Zhang Qingning couldn’t help but think of that calamity, feeling a wave of sorrow and loneliness wash over her.

Xu Fan glanced around and then strode forward, with the others following behind him.

“Halt, intruders!”

At this moment, the security personnel inside the security room, upon seeing so many people arriving, all grabbed their batons and came out in a group of more than a dozen.

The leading burly man pointed the end of his baton at Xu Fan and barked, “This is a private estate.

Persons unrelated, please leave.”

Yu Zhong also looked over with an unfriendly expression.

Xu Yue puffed up her cheeks, angrily saying, “Are you blind, this is my home, I am certainly not unrelated.”

“You still need the Family Head’s approval,” the leading burly man said coldly.

“Young Master, shall I take care of this?” Xu Dan whispered.

It seemed there was no choice but to force their way through.

“Fine, just don’t kill anyone and that’s OK.”

Xu Fan spoke as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

“No problem.”

Xu Dan immediately grinned at the leading burly man, rubbing his hands together, a cracking sound like popping soybeans issuing forth.

However, he was a step too slow.

Cui Dong took the initiative, charging into the crowd and swiftly knocking them down with fist and foot.

By the time Cui Dong returned to his original position, all the security were lying on the ground, emitting painful groans.

He hadn’t gone easy on them, giving them plenty of pain, but he hadn’t been too harsh—if he had, they wouldn’t have had any lives left.

Zhang Qingning couldn’t help but take another look at Cui Dong, surprised that this seemingly carefree young man possessed such crisp and efficient skills.

“You rascal, why didn’t you signal before jumping in?” Xu Dan grumbled.

Cui Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, “Big Brother Xu Dan, dealing with these little guys, my involvement is enough.

Once we enter further, there’ll be plenty of experts for you to show off your skills against.”

Xu Dan couldn’t help but laugh.

“It’s bad, enemy attack, enemy attack!”

“Quick, sound the alarm, call the superiors, report the situation!”

The security personnel remaining in the workshop started shouting in alarm.

As the alarm was sounded, the entire estate was instantly stirred, the sharp and urgent alarm bell, along with lights coming on in every corner, startled many within the estate.

Meanwhile, the patrolling members, as well as the skilled fighters brought by the various family heads, all hurried towards the front gate.

But no sooner had they stepped out the front gate, than their feet were already being lifted off the ground, and Xu Dan, Zhou Xian, and the others knocked down each new opponent as they came.

In a short while, the several dozen newly emerged members were laid out on the ground by punches, either knocked out or stripped of their ability to fight.

The people behind them showed shock on their faces, and upon realizing that the enemy was an Ancient Martial Artist, they quickly reached for the guns at their waists.

Before they could fire, shadows flashed through their crowd, effortlessly taking their firearms, and with a gentle force, easily broke them apart, turning them into a pile of scrap metal.

In an instant, everyone was shocked and panicked, with fearful expressions, no longer daring to take any action.

Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps were heard from within the electronic gate.
