'Clank!'
As soon as Mayor Fu Chen's words sounded throughout the party venue, the place got deadly quiet, and everyone was able to hear the sound of a glass breaking.
Shocked as they were, the people around turned their heads towards the place from where the sound came, and could only see Master Yao Wu, who seemed to have broken the glass on his hand.
It didn't fall from his hand, no, he had broken that glass by applying more strength and pressure that the crystal glass could handle.
Right now he just wanted to go home and give his son two more tight slaps for offending someone who he shouldn't.
It hadn't even passed 24 hours, and he was already facing someone from the infamous Shadow Clan, that erased the Wei family in one night.
The worst part of that was that not only had his son offended this guy, but he also had no other thoughts, besides revenge a moment ago.
By no means was Master Yao Wu a coward, or a gutless person, no he was really daring and gutsy, if it wasn't like that he wouldn't have thoughts about becoming the Master of the Yao family.
It was just that the guy in front of him, and the background he represented, was someone and something that even the Yao family itself with the numerous experts in their midst didn't dare to offend.
Of course, his sour feeling and his revenge didn't disappear at that moment, but he was really questioning himself, and his actions from now on.
What should he do, and how should he deal with this created situation. It was true that he loved his son a lot, and was the apple of his eye, but could he take revenge against Tianlong Yun?
Right now that seemed even more impossible than climbing Mount Everest naked. Right now he didn't care he had the attention of the people in the party venue.
On the other hand, Tianlong Yun had been surprised at first seeing the amount of face he was getting in such a place, but he could understand everything when he heard Mayor Fu Chen's words.
It seemed like Tianlong Hu Die had gone a bit overboard giving him the status of a direct disciple of the clan, but that was something that was needed for prestige and to send a message.
With this move, they not only announced Tianlong Yun's deep and mysterious background, but also the background for the Tianlong family, and their business.
A direct disciple in any sect, clan, or academy was the highest degree a disciple could get, he was one of the personal disciples of the Patriarch and a possible successor to the position.
Knowing about this powerful background, and status many people would have to think twice before meddling with someone like him.
Of course, this didn't mean that his life would be a field of flowers from now on, but at least the weakest flies would stop buzzing when they approached him.
He didn't fail to notice even the attention of some gloomy guys outside, and especially the killing intent of the guy who broke the glass.
At the moment though, his attention was focused somewhere else. He was looking at the beautiful flower in midst of these uncultured wild animals.
While his eyes were stuck upon her, he didn't seem to be like the other men and reveal his lust on the outside, no he seemed like a devious gentleman.
He was one of those guys who knew well how to hide his true feelings, but most importantly he had seen even more beautiful women, so Tang's family's little princess wasn't much in his eyes.
Of course, this didn't mean he didn't find her beautiful, she was definitely in the top 100 but the world was so vast, that there many more women better than her.
Tang family's little princess and the others were really stunned upon hearing Tianlong Yun's position and status, they had never thought someone like him would come tonight.
If their families knew about it they would have sent someone even more important to participate in this event, someone who could talk proper business with him.
The atmosphere was really weird for a few moments, as Tianlong Yun finally said with a calm voice, neither humble nor arrogant,
Tianlong Yun:" Everyone please continue with what you were doing, we are just passing by to congratulate Mayor Fu Chen about his 55th birthday and wish him a long life."
Hearing those words the crowd was a bit surprised, but soon they started returning to their private conversations and discussing various motives of Tianlong Yun's arrival.
By his side, Mayor Fu Chen seemed to be extremely happy, as his face was shining and showing a smile from one ear to the other.
He had never thought he would get this amount of face from one of the emerging powers of this little planet.
He knew that his position was just that of a stand in to show the balance of power in Shanghai, and work for the families.
But now that Tianlong Yun was here perhaps he could finally find a backer to grant him more power, and stop being a toy of the others.
How could Tianlong Yun not notice the thoughts, and ideas of Mayor Fu Chen, in actual fact, he was thinking the same, just that in his thoughts, Fu Chen was his little toy to control Shanghai.
But this was the high society, everywhere people were thinking on how to turn others into toys that would do their bidding.
Entering inside, Tianlong Yun accompanied by his entourage, and Mayor Fu Chen made their way to the big family's representatives.
The strange thing was that they seemed to be expecting this, and didn't take the bother to come and greet him midway, no they kept their position as if Tianlong Yun was in a lower standing.
Were these guys idiots or something? Didn't they understand the standing between the Shadow Clan and their 'cheap' families?
Of course, this made Tianlong Yun had a repulsive feeling towards them, as they all seemed like arrogant idiots who only thought about face, and spending the wealth and power of their Ancestors.
Without creating a fuss over this, Tianlong Yun approached the group, and with a slight bow, he said,
Tianlong Yun:" Greetings everyone, I am Tianlong Yun a direct disciple of the Shadow Clan, and the head of the Tianlong family! It's a pleasure to meet you all."
All the people in the group returned some perfunctory greetings, but just like earlier they kept their distance and didn't seem like they wanted to have anything to do with him.
Seeing this situation, Tianlong Yun didn't get mad, quite on the opposite he thought it was really funny, these guys truly didn't know where and to whom to show their background and status.
Taking one last look at the group, he turned around, and taking Yu Qing by the arm they started walking towards an empty corner of the room, without Mayor Fu Chen who seemed to have disappeared now.
Yu Qing was clearly unhappy with the way that they were treated, but she knew that Tianlong Yun had a reason to not mind it, and act like he did, as she said grumbling,
Yu Qing:" Why didn't you show them their place? Those little ants dare and pretend to be big in front of an elephant!"
Tianlong Yun turned around and looking into her eyes, he said with a teasing voice,
Tianlong Yun:" Is my little demoness developing feelings for me?"
Yu Qing seemed to be angry for him, not for herself. After all, no one knew her identity, and she was just Tianlong Yun's company at this party. Even though many speculated she was a disciple like him.
Yu Qing was like a little child caught in a mistake, as she was thinking if that was true or not, it hadn't been long from the bonding, but slowly she was getting attached to this guy.
Getting to that conclusion she said with a harrumph,
Yu Qing:" Hmph~! So what if I am?"
Tianlong Yun seemed more interested in this topic than her question and the rudeness of the people before, they were just water under the bridge, as he said,
Tianlong Yun:" Well if you are, then that means that I am a truly lucky man and that the heavens favor me! This is truly good news isn't it!?"
Yu Qing was stunned, this hateful fellow was getting too comfortable with her, and his words were perfectly honeyed, which woman could resist his words.
But she also felt good, because while his words were honeyed, and didn't seem worth it, they were actually said looking in her eyes, and she knew that there was a piece of truth in them.
Still, she couldn't fall so easily for this guy's cheap words, and handsomeness, she had to be a little hard to get, as she harrumphed once again and said,
Yu Qing:" Hmph! You are really good at saying honeyed words, but I am not interested in that right now. Will you tell me or not?"
Tianlong Yun seemed amused as he took two champagne glasses from the tray of a passing waiter, and giving one to Yu Qing he said,
Tianlong Yun:" I was just stating the truth, but it's your wish if you believe it or not.
As for the little group earlier, well they were testing us with their attitude, and also showing that even though we are an emerging big power, they are no pushover either.
Right now to them, we are like a common enemy that appeared in their backyard that could be trying to rob them or take away their house.
Not to mention that some of them seemed to have grudges against me and our clan. Like Master Yao Wu, whose son got 'treated' from our people earlier."
Yu Qing could make sense of those words, but still, this didn't explain Tianlong Yun's attitude earlier, she was still curious as to what was he planning right now.
While she was busy thinking about that, she hadn't noticed that Jake Long had disappeared from their side too
