Chapter 6: Disaster (1)
After the crowd finally stopped clapping and slowly dispersed, Ye Fan waited for a few minutes to allow his heroism to start spreading among the attendees.
Then once he was positive that Luna has heard about his heroic act, Ye Fan strode confidently towards Luna's exhibition stand and began talking to her.
Ronald, who had been secretly following behind Ye Fan this entire time, didn't immediately go over and perform his generic rich second generation villain role right away though and waited for Luna and Ye Fan to get aquainted with each other first.
Then a few minutes later, Ronald checked the time on his watch and decided that it was finally time to start his performance.
'Let's do this.'
Ronald adjusted his suit, casually walked over to Luna and Ye Fan while deliberately making his footsteps loud to get their attention, and started speaking.
"Hey dumbass! How dare you strike up a conversation with my fiancee without my consent? You're courting death!"
Ronald slowly threw a fist at the back of Ye Fan's head, who immediately dodged the punch effortlessly.
"What the hell asshole! Who goes up to someone like this and tries to hit them out of nowhere? Have you no shame?" Ye Fan turned around angrily and retorted.
Since he had actually spent some time overseas researching about the major families in the city of Jinhai after he had fully built up his power and influence over there, Ye Fan naturally knew who the lowlife scum who tried to hit him was, and almost everything there is to know about him.
But still, he didn't expect this asshole to just try and hit him like this!
If it wasn't for the fact that he was one of the four gods of war in the Western World, he would've been absolutely humiliated just now.
"I do that, buddy, and let me tell you this, I can make you completely disappear from this world right now with just a snap of my finger, so if you know what's good for you, you better get the hell out of here and also stay away from MY Luna right now." Ronald stated his lines accordingly in the novel while maintaining a posture of an extremely arrogant person.
"First off, Luna isn't a property, she's a human being, so you have no right saying 'my Luna' as though she is an object that belongs to you. Second, do you really think threatening me will make me scared of you?" Ye Fan asked disdainfully.
"Haha, of course you should be scared, but judging by your appearance, it looks like you don't know who you're dealing with." Ronald smiled haughtily.
"It doesn't matter who you are. Even if you are god himself you don't have the right to treat others like this!" Ye Fan then turned to Luna and said, "Miss Xuan, I'm not sure if he's your fiance like he claims to be, but if he is, then please do something about him."
Ye Fan had actually also investigated Luna's background before returning to China and so he was completely aware that Luna didn't like any of her pursuers, and even had a disdain for Ronald specifically, especially since he was her only pursuer that her family couldn't go up against, and so he was certain that Luna was going to stand up for him.
Plus, no girl likes such a violent man anyways, and only someone as charming and dignified such as himself could stand side by side with her!
Everyone in the crowd who was watching this occur couldn't help but start to worry for Ye Fan.
They all knew that Ye Fan was an upstanding individual that had potentially saved countless attendees from getting a terrible skin care product, and they didn't want to see such a person get hurt.
But that's Ronald Kuangge he's going up against!
Other than the notorious reputation he had, everyone knew that Ronald was the Young Master of the Kuangge family!
The family that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and dominated one-sixth of the entire market in Jinhai within just 20 years!
That Kuangge family!
Some theorized that the Kuangge family simply got lucky, some theorized that it was a family with a ton of backers from overseas since the family head was actually a complete foreigner, and some theorized that the Kuangge family was already rich and powerful to begin with and just came out of hiding when Ronald was born in China about 20 years ago.
But whatever the reason may be, it was certainly obvious that the Kuangge family is to never be messed with.
And that's why nobody, or even families, have dared to go up against them, not publicly at least.
Only Luna gets that privilege since she's engaged with Ronald and he wouldn't want his family to do anything to her, but even then, there was only so little she could actually do to him.
As everyone continued watching, both Ronald and Ye Fan, who could see Luna's face clearly, were extremely happy inside.
She had such an angry and disgusted look on her face that they both were certain that she was going to berate Ronald.
Ye Fan's mouth couldn't even help but slightly smile for a brief second.
He knew that his goal of impressing Luna had succeeded, and sooner or later, he was going to make Luna his woman.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten his original goal of slowly building up his influence in China so that he could learn what led to the downfall of his family and eventually avenge them, but that can always wait.
Besides, Luna also has a decent amount of influence hereself, mostly because she was regarded as one of the four beauties in China, and so she can help him slowly start to build up his influence as well.
While Ye Fan was happily lost in his thoughts, Luna suddenly did something so out of character for her that it made the whole venue freeze as though time had stopped.
Smack!
Luna raised her hand and slapped Ye Fan across the face.
The slap was so loud and crisp that it echoed throughout the entire trade show and left a red mark on Ye Fan's face.
"Shut up." Luna stood inbetween Ronald and Ye Fan, and then took out her handkerchief to wipe off the filth on her hand she had gotten when slapping Ye Fan just now.
"..." Ye Fan touched his face in disbelief.
Never in a million years would he had ever expected Luna to literally slap him, and for this loser no less.
Did he somehow get his information wrong? Does Luna actually like Ronald by any chance?
But there's no way!
He researched everything about her thoroughly.
Not to mention that his gut feeling was telling him that Luna was the one for him, and his gut feeling was never wrong.
There must be some kind of misunderstanding!
Ronald on the other hand was just as confused as Ye Fan was.
'...'
'What the hell...?'
'What the actual hell?'
'Have I become the main character or something?'
'Isn't Luna suppose to be the first heroine?'
'Am I even in the right novel right now?'
'Is she crazy, or am I crazy?'
'Yep, seems like I've gone crazy instead.'
"Miss Xuan! What did I do to offend you?" Ye Fan furiously shouted.
"Everything. Your name, your voice, your face, your hair, and even your existence. They all offend me." Luna wasn't afraid to answer truthfully and offend Ye Fan.
Sure, he might have some powerful backers oversea, but she knew that most of his backers won't help him in China as long as he's still alive since it was extremely hard to bring over foreign forces to the hearts of China.
The resources spent simply wouldn't be worth it at all.
There was only one person that she needed to be wary of that was on Ye Fan's side at the moment, but she'll deal with her once that time comes.
"Now get lost." Luna looked directly into Ye Fan's eyes and spat out in a bone-chilling tone.
This made Ye Fan panic inside for the first time in years.
He didn't know why, but there was something deep within Luna's beautiful red eyes that shook him to the core...
Like a monster peering at him through the darkness.
Of course, this dread only lasted for a short bit though, and he immediately felt humiliation afterwards.
And he wasn't simply going to let this slide.
"Miss Xuan, all I've done was be nothing but nice to you ever since I first came up to you, and this is how you treat me? I was about to offer you an extremely good proposition to your business and invest 500 million yuan for only 1% of your company, but that won't be happening anymore." Ye Fan crossed his arms and scolded.
For a mid-sized company such as Luna's right now, giving it a 50 billion value evaluation was completely unheard of, and he knew that was the case as well.
That was why he said such a high number, as he knew that Luna couldn't possibly refuse, and would most likely beg him to reconsider.
And he can't wait to see the look on such a pretty woman's face when it happens.
Of course, he had also taken into consideration that she was engaged to someone who would unconditionally give her money every chance he gets, but the difference is that Ronald's money was handout, and Ye Fan knew Luna absolutely hated handouts due to her pride, even though she rarely refused them from Ronald.
Unexpectedly however, Luna appeared to be more upset.
"Please, even if you had offered me China's entire GDP, I still wouldn't care." Luna didn't doubt that Ye Fan had the money at all.
Oh no, she knew he had significantly more than that.
But she knew what Ye Fan was trying to play at here.
Unfortunately for him, she's not as dumb as she was in her previous life.
"Now are you done? Or will you continue acting like an annoying pest that can't read the atmosphere."
'Damn.' Ye Fan couldn't help but curse in his head.
As expected of the woman that he had his eyes on, she was extremely tough, more than what he had anticipated.
But he has never once ran or backed out of a fight ever since he became one of the four gods of war, and he's definitely not about to start now.
However, he wasn't too sure how he could further take on this woman without getting physical.
Fortunately for him however, while he was thinking of a way to counterattack, lady luck has smiled on him once more, since...
"What has he done wrong to you?"
