East Outer Square, Fan Mansion.
Fan Mansion was the largest old mansion in the East Outer Square. Its predecessor was Da Xia's Crown Prince Mansion. Seven princes had lived there until the royal family abdicated.
Today, the Fan Manor was the Fan clan's main residence, housing close to a thousand members of the Fan clan.
Unlike the Qin Family, which was also in the East Outer Square, the Fan Family did not have a long history. Its representative, Fan Hailiu, was born in a poor family. After becoming an Alpha, he led the Fan Family to become Da Xia's number one family.
Therefore, although Fan Hailiu was stronger than Qin Wuyang in terms of combat power, the Qin Family was better than the Fan Family in terms of family background. After all, the Qin Family rose too quickly.
As the head of the Fan Family, Fan Haichao knew this very well. Therefore, after receiving a call from Qin Wuyang, he was in a bad mood.
After sitting at the desk and thinking for a few minutes, Fan Haichao asked, "Uncle Rong, is Yunlong at home?"
Fan Yunlong was his second son. He was smart and capable at a young age, so Fan Haichao had always been at ease with him. He rarely asked about Fan Yunlong's affairs and silently acted as Fan Yunlong's shield.
But this time …
Fan Haichao's face was very ugly.
The grey-shirted old man standing beside him replied, "Young Master Yunlong went out. He said he won't be staying at home tonight."
Like most of the rich and powerful families, the direct descendants of the Fan Family would get their own property when they reached adulthood. After independence, even if they did not move out of the Family Mansion, they would often buy a house outside.
Fan Yunlong was the chairman of the Fan Family Investment Fund. His net worth was more than five billion. His business could be said to be very successful. He owned more than one house in the capital and did not spend much time at Fan Mansion.
Fan Haichao said coldly, "Tell him to come back and see me immediately!"
The grey-shirted old man bowed and replied, "Yes."
Half an hour later, a limited-edition luxury sports car worth more than fifty million stopped outside Fan Mansion.
The door opened and Fan Yunlong got out of the car.
Fan Yunlong was 32 years old this year. He was tall and handsome. His identity as a direct descendant of the Fan family and his net worth of billions made him one of the top three golden bachelors in the capital. There were countless socialites in the capital who chased after him.
Fan Yunlong was very talented in financial investment. The investment fund he was in charge of had excellent performance in recent years, which made his status in the Fan family rise. His future could be said to be bright.
When he received the call from Uncle Rong, Fan Yunlong was on a date with a popular actress. It was supposed to be a beautiful night, but it was completely ruined by this call.
Fan Yunlong hurriedly came to Fan Haichao's study. When he saw his father sitting at the desk, he immediately put away all his arrogance and asked respectfully, "Dad, are you looking for me?"
Although Fan Yunlong was conceited, he was very respectful towards Fan Haichao.
Fan Haichao put down the ancient book he was reading and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you offend recently?"
This question was like a heavy blow to Fan Yunlong's head, causing him to feel dizzy all of a sudden.
This is bad!
Fan Yunlong tried his best to calm himself down. He thought hard for half a minute, then shook his head and said, "No."
He really didn't, or to be more precise, Fan Yunlong couldn't remember.
There were definitely people he had offended, but none of them could threaten him.
Fan Haichao sighed and said, "You've been very smart since you were young. I never had to worry about your studies or your life. When you grew up, you also worked hard. Everyone says I have a good son …"
The head of the Fan family spoke tirelessly, but the more Fan Yunlong listened, the more his heart sank.
"I received a call from Qin Wuyang just now …"
Fan Haichao said, "He told me that Zuo Yi doesn't like you very much and doesn't want to see you in the capital."
Zuo Yi?
Fan Yunlong felt like he had been struck by lightning. "I-I don't know him!"
Of course, Fan Yunlong had heard of Zuo Yi, the Riverside Dragon King. He was also a supernatural being. Although his cultivation level wasn't very high, he was still a member of the inner world and had very high access to the Intranet.
In his free time, Fan Yunlong would also browse the Intranet and hear about a lot of things related to Zuo Yi.
But he had never met Zuo Yi before, so he couldn't think of how he had offended Zuo Yi!
"That's very strange."
Fan Haichao sighed and said, "I've met Zuo Yi before. He's unfathomable, and even I don't dare to offend him easily."
He stared at his son and said, "I don't know what feud you have with him, but since he's asked for it, I can't not give him face. So go to the Wilderness next Monday. Your uncle will take care of you."
Fan Yunlong almost fainted. "Then what about my company?"
"Leave the investment company to your older brother."
Fan Haichao said, "You have to stay in Dragon City Fortress for at least five years. I promised Qin Wuyang."
The Wilderness, Dragon City Fortress, five years!
Perhaps for many supernatural beings, going to the Wilderness was an opportunity where they could gain strength and wealth.
But that didn't include Fan Yunlong.
He knew very well how difficult the conditions in Dragon City Fortress were. Even if he had Fan Hailiu's care, there was still a lot of danger.
Fan Yunlong didn't want to go at all.
He was doing well in Beijing. He drove a sports car worth tens of millions, lived in a villa worth hundreds of millions, hooked up with the most beautiful celebrities, and had a thriving career. His life was indescribably carefree.
But if he went to Dragon City Fortress, all of this would disappear!
What Fan Yunlong couldn't accept the most was handing the company over to his older brother. His older brother had always been eyeing the Fan Family Investment Fund, and Fan Yunlong was about to fall out with him over this.
But now, his older brother wanted to take away everything he had worked so hard for without any effort!
"No, I won't agree to it!"
Fan Yunlong couldn't help but roar, "I won't go to the Wilderness even if I die!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he rushed to the desk as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "I'll go find Zuo Yi. I'll go beg him. I can't have a life-and-death feud with him. I'll apologize to him, even if I have to kneel down …"
Slap!
Before Fan Yunlong could finish his words, a heavy slap landed on his face!
It was Fan Haichao.
The head of the Fan family had a frosty face and said angrily, "The Fan family doesn't have a spineless child like you. I've made up my mind. Get ready."
"Uncle Rong …"
Fan Haichao waved his hand and said, "Take Young Master Yunlong back to his room and have someone keep an eye on him."
"Yes, sir."
Fan Haichao couldn't help but clench his fists as he watched his son being taken out of the study by Uncle Rong with a pale face.
He said that Fan Yunlong was spineless, but was he also an unyielding person?
However, the pressure from Qin Wuyang and Zuo Yi was too great. It was so great that the entire Fan family could not bear it.
So for the sake of the family, Fan Yunlong could only make a temporary sacrifice.
Fan Haichao leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes.
There was a deep sense of powerlessness.
