371: Chapter 371 Hong Family Dinner
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward Qin Chuan.
Clearly, none of them had expected Qin Chuan to say something so arrogant.
Yu Jie raised her hand and slapped Qin Chuan on the arm: "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Stop talking rubbish. Even if you want to show off, you don't do it like this."
Her cousin really had no filter. Fortunately, David didn't understand Chinese, otherwise, he would get Life Qi.
"Let me tell you, it's fine to say these things in private—no, wait, you can't say them even in private. When we get to the banquet, make sure you don't say things like this. Those big shots can understand Chinese too."
Afterward, she gave him another warning.
"Sis, I'm telling the truth." Qin Chuan appeared slightly helpless.
"You're still talking?" Yu Jie glared at him.
However, after that one sentence, the impression Yu Jie's team had of Qin Chuan dropped significantly.
A student who had just graduated from university not long ago was here uttering such wild words.
In their eyes, how was this any different from those university students who demanded an annual salary of a million right out of the gate?
Li Fang let out a barely audible huff. President Yu's cousin was ultimately not mature enough; he lacked the brutal lessons of society. Having just stepped into society, he only knew how to be sharp-tongued. Little did he know that to someone with her rich social experience, such words were entirely a joke.
"President Yu insisted on having me bring someone like this. Sigh..."
She sighed in her heart, because she knew very well that young people like this, who didn't know how to be humble, were actually very difficult to lead.
The main thing was, in today's society, who would spend the energy to specifically cultivate such a young person?
Li Fang was simply unwilling to spend the time.
Forget it, forget it. She would just bring him along symbolically when the time came. She still had to give President Yu some Face, but expecting her to teach him seriously was basically impossible.
"Little friend, don't be too arrogant when you speak."
Just at this moment, David suddenly spoke in extremely broken Chinese.
President Yu and the others were all startled to hear this; it turned out David knew Chinese.
Wang Minghan looked slightly awkward: "David, he's just someone who has just stepped into society. Don't hold it against him."
"Yes, David, my cousin doesn't know any better," Yu Jie apologized.
David waved his hand: "Don't be like this once we enter the banquet. If you offend those big shots, I won't be able to protect you. Anyway, don't say that I'm the one who brought you in."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Yu Jie nodded repeatedly.
"Get in the car." David glanced at Qin Chuan again, his eyes full of disdain.
The group got into the cars.
Yu Jie and Qin Chuan sat together. She was still instructing Qin Chuan not to speak when they got to the banquet later.
"Sis, what I said is true." How could Qin Chuan possibly hold those people at the banquet in any regard? Even if the Great Steward of the Hong Sect came, he would kill him all the same.
"You..." Yu Jie was getting Life Qi.
Why did her cousin love to show off so much?
Yu Jie warned: "Anyway, don't you dare speak later!"
Liu Zhizhi was also in the same back row. She specifically glanced at Qin Chuan. In her heart, she felt a bit disappointed. Although he was handsome, he was simply too childish; he couldn't handle being on a big stage.
Perhaps after a few more years, when he was a bit more mature, this guy would realize how ridiculous today's words were.
For the rest of the journey, everyone basically didn't say anything.
The two Cadillacs soon arrived at the venue of the Hong Group banquet. It was now six o'clock in the United States. The banquet location was an extremely luxurious hotel, with all kinds of sports cars and luxury cars parked at the entrance.
There were many Westerners and many Dragon Country people going in and out.
After all, the founder of the Hong Group was a Dragon Country person; they were just developing overseas.
The main reason why the Hong Group could develop to such a massive size was one factor, and many people knew this reason: behind the Hong Group was the Hong Sect.
David led Yu Jie and everyone else into the hotel venue smoothly. It was already packed with people. Looking at it, they were all big tycoons.
"That is... the technology tycoon, Mr. Cliff!"
"Wow, that is the President of the BB Group..."
"And there are people from the world-renowned Odyssey Family..."
After Yu Jie's team entered, seeing so many big shots they could only see on the news, they all exclaimed one after another.
"Everyone, this is our Hong Group banquet. Do you know what is behind the Hong Group?" David said, sounding very pleased with himself in his broken Chinese.
"What is behind it?" Liu Zhizhi asked subconsciously.
David cleared his throat: "Behind it is the Hong Sect. The Hong Sect is the number one power overseas. Don't look at the clouds of noble families present; in front of the Hong Sect, they are still a bit inferior. For example, that Odyssey Family—they have to be polite when they see the Hong Sect."
Regarding these powers, Yu Jie and the others listened, not understanding but feeling awed.
Only Wang Minghan could interject a few words: "David, I heard that the Odyssey Family had some trouble a while ago, is that true?"
David nodded: "This is not a secret. A while ago, Caesar from the Odyssey Family, who was an Elder of the former Earth Martial Arts Alliance, was killed. And the little young master of the Odyssey Family was also killed."
"What?!"
Yu Jie and the others were ordinary people; hearing about killing, they were inevitably a bit horrified.
"This is a matter within the Martial Arts world. If I tell you about it, you might not understand." David's tone carried a bit of arrogance; after all, being able to inquire about matters within the Martial Arts world was quite difficult.
The reason David knew some of it was mainly because the Odyssey Family was not just a Martial Arts Family, but their business also spread throughout the globe. Moreover, when the people from the Odyssey Family were killed, there were many people on the scene, so these rumors naturally spread.
"I heard that this young master of the Odyssey Family was killed because of a Family enemy?" Wang Minghan said uncertainly.
Yu Jie and the others were all very curious because such a big event had absolutely no reports on the news, so they were completely unaware of it now.
David's expression became a bit more serious: "Actually, no. It was because this little young master of the Odyssey Family, Jerry, offended a certain big shot."
"A big shot?" This time, even Wang Minghan was a bit curious.
"Did the Odyssey Family take revenge?" Yu Jie asked.
"No."
David shook his head.
This made everyone even more shocked. What kind of existence was the Odyssey Family? Anyone who had done business knew. Perhaps many people didn't know the Odyssey Family was also a Martial Arts Family, but they were, after all, doing big business.
The result was that the little young master was killed, and the Odyssey Family didn't take revenge?
Seeing everyone shocked, David lowered his voice: "Do you know who it was that killed the Odyssey Family members?"
"Who?"
"It was precisely someone from your Dragon Country. He is known as Emperor Qin!"
