Chapter 2308: Who said I have no background?

The Young Master shouted, "All the money is with my cousin. If you have the guts, go ask him for it."

"Alright, in that case, call your cousin over. Today, if you don't pay up, don't even think about leaving."

Ye Bufan secretly found it amusing. No matter where he went, these second-generation rich kids always had connections.

The Young Master had only intended to scare the other party, but he didn't expect them to actually agree. He said with a look of disbelief, "Are you sure you want me to call my cousin over?"

Ye Bufan said, "Of course I'm sure. Call him over now."

He was never one to suffer losses. Since the other party wanted to extort him, he would definitely extort them back, and do it severely.

"Alright then, you just wait for me."

At this moment, the Young Master seemed to regain his confidence. He took out a communication jade slip, "Cousin, come quickly. There's an outsider bumpkin here who took our storefront and even hit me…"

After sending the message, he turned his head and said fiercely, "Kid, if you have the guts, don't run away."

What he feared most now was Ye Bufan turning and running, in which case he would be helpless, and his beating would truly have been in vain.

"Me leave?" Ye Bufan said, "This is my house. Why should I leave? Besides, you haven't returned the money you owe me yet!"

Seeing that he still wanted money even at this point, the surrounding people began to discuss again.

"Is he prioritizing money over his life? No matter how good money is, you need a life to spend it…"

"Young man is truly ignorant and fearless. He really thinks he's amazing just because he has some skill. This is the Tianxing Empire Royal City, where experts are as numerous as clouds…"

"I think he's just ignorant and fearless. He doesn't even know what kind of existence he has provoked…"

People discussed as they retreated, no one daring to step forward.

Ye Bufan, however, was completely unconcerned. He directly took out a tea table and sat there leisurely drinking tea.

Not long after, a tall, thin Young man appeared on the other side of the long street. He looked to be in his twenties and was also wearing luxurious clothing.

Zhao Lin, the Da Shao of the Zhao Family, had always been arrogant in the Royal City. He had previously come up with a good idea: using this storefront to extort strangers from out of town.

This trick had been repeatedly successful during this period, and he had already extorted more than a dozen people. This cousin was his tool for making money.

Most of these people had accepted their fate. Occasionally, a few who wanted to report to the officials were suppressed by him using the Family's power.

He just didn't expect to encounter an accident today, which made him extremely irritated. He immediately rushed over with his men, full of Aura.

There weren't many people behind him, only four, but each one was a Body Integration Stage expert, exuding a powerful Aura from head to toe.

Zhao Lin was the only son in the Zhao Family's direct lineage and was deeply favored by the Family elders, which was why so many experts were sent to protect him.

As they walked, people on the street scattered, hiding as far away as possible, fearing they might get into trouble.

"Cousin is here, Cousin is here!"

Upon seeing him, the Young Master immediately jumped up excitedly, as if he had seen a great savior.

"Cousin, you're finally here! You must help me! Look at how they beat me…"

Zhao Lin's face was originally stern, but he was startled when he saw the Young Master. He hadn't expected his cousin, who had been fine that morning, to be beaten into a pig's head.

"Tell me, who did this?"

He was extremely angry, as this was equivalent to slapping his own face.

"It was that kid."

The Young Master pointed back at Ye Bufan, who was leisurely sipping tea.

"Kid, you're an outsider with a lot of guts. Who gave you the courage to even dare to touch my cousin!"

After this reprimand, Zhao Lin's Aura reached its peak.

Ye Bufan, however, seemed to hear nothing. He picked up his teacup, took a leisurely sip, and then looked up.

"What's wrong with being an outsider? From your tone, it sounds like you look down on outsiders!"

"So what if I do? You're from out of town, and you have no background. What right do you have to be arrogant?"

Zhao Lin shouted with an arrogant expression, "This is the Tianxing Empire, and the Royal City is my territory. No matter how capable you are, if you're a Dragon, you'll coil for me; if you're a tiger, you'll crouch for me!"

Ye Bufan smiled, "Who said I have no background?"

Zhao Lin's heart tightened. The other party dared to lay hands on his people. Could it be that he truly had a powerful backer within this Royal City?

"Then tell me, who is your background?"

"My background is me!"

Ye Bufan stood up and smiled playfully, "Only incompetent people constantly think about relying on others. People like me, with ability, are enough on our own."

"Kid, you dare to play me!"

Zhao Lin was instantly furious. He never expected that he, the dignified Da Shao of the Zhao Family, would be played by an outsider.

"Who told you to stand up? In front of Young Master, you have no right to stand and speak. Kneel!"

He raised his Aura to the extreme, intending to intimidate the other party.

Ye Bufan had seen all kinds of powerful individuals, so how could he be intimidated by him?

"Kneel to speak, right? Then I'll satisfy you!"

With that, he flicked two streams of Qi from his fingers. Zhao Lin felt his knees go soft and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Uh…"

Everyone present was stunned. Some who were further away hadn't heard the two speak at all, and only saw the Zhao Family's Da Shao kneeling straight up, momentarily unsure of what had happened.

"Bastard, what did you do to me?"

Zhao Lin struggled to get up, but found that his legs had completely lost all sensation and would not obey him.

This made him incredibly enraged. As the dignified Da Shao of the Zhao Family, when had he ever knelt to anyone?

"What the hell are you still standing there for? Kill him! Quickly, kill him!"

He roared hysterically at the four guards behind him.

The Young Master was startled at first, then filled with joy.

This guy was courting death, daring to even touch his cousin. Now he was definitely dead!

The four guards hadn't expected anyone to dare to attack the Zhao Family's Da Shao, and combined with Ye Bufan's swift action, they hadn't reacted at all.

Now, coming to their senses, they immediately swarmed forward, charging at Ye Bufan with Killing Intent.

"Bastards, you're looking for death!"

Before Ye Bufan even needed to act, Nalan Yujia, who was beside him, let out an angry shout and charged forward.

She grabbed the first guard's arm, and with a crack, it snapped in two.

Then she kicked him to the ground and stomped down hard.

The force of that kick was immense. The guard immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone present was startled. This woman looked gentle and virtuous, like a well-bred young lady, yet she was so violent when she fought?

The other three were also intimidated. Before they could even react, they were also knocked down by Nalan Yujia, each with broken arms and legs, utterly miserable.
