The high tide has arrived. Hur Hur. Let's end it here for today and continue tomorrow. Fox had seen the support of his brothers and sisters, so he could only work hard to write even more interesting plots!
According to Ji Feng's judgement, this man was around the age of twenty, but he was definitely not even twenty-five. However, there was a baleful aura emanating from this person, as though it was filled with a sense of majesty. At first glance, it almost made people ignore his age, as if he was facing a huge mountain.
This was an imposing manner!
Ji Feng slightly frowned. Obviously, this man who was walking down the stairs step by step was the one that his second brother had mentioned to him several times. The person who was leading this gathering was Qiao Jiakai!
This was because only people who came from special forces would have this kind of pressure, and only people who had experienced life and death situations would have this kind of killing intent.
What proved Ji Feng's deduction was that the scar on the left side of the man's face, which ran from his ear to his neck and into the collar of his shirt, was caused by a knife or other sharp weapon, if Ji Feng was not wrong.
Behind him followed three young men and four young women. None of them dared to walk side by side with him. They were all a step behind him, which fully highlighted his status and position.
At this moment, there were already many people in the hall. Most of them were young men and women, especially some women. Although they looked n.o.ble and elegant, in reality, they revealed their true intentions through an inadvertent action or gaze.
These women also wanted to climb up to the Qiao family. Their expressions and smiles looked like those of n.o.ble princesses, but in reality, behind these n.o.ble smiles was the lowly and empty air of courtesans. Ji Feng clearly saw all of this.
To put it in a better way, these women were the young mistresses of a great family, or they could be called famous socialites. But to put it harshly, they were courtesans, high-cla.s.s girls!
Because they all wanted to use their bodies to exchange for themselves or their families for a good future.
Amongst them, there were only a very small number of people. They were truly from a large clan, so they didn't need to use their looks to exchange for anything. But even so, these young mistresses still felt apprehensive and stood up one by one when they faced the Qiao Family.
As a result, almost everyone in the hall stood up in unison and looked at the young man slowly walking down the stairs.
He was in his twenties, yet he had a background that was difficult to catch a glimpse of. Not only that, he had an extraordinary skill, and his entire body was filled with a heroic aura. This kind of man, no matter if it was the courtesans or the real young mistresses, could not help but be attracted to him. Just think about it, who doesn't want to find a perfect husband?
"It's Young Master Qiao. Young Master Qiao is coming down!"
"That's right, it's said that Young Master Qiao just came out of the army and is now the leader of the Qiao family's third generation."
… ….
Hearing the discussion of the crowd, Duan Peng couldn't help but snort. He had no choice but to come to Jiang Prefecture to seek help from Ji Shalei. He did not expect that Qiao Jiakai would come to Jiang Prefecture again, this clearly showed that he was forced to the point where he had no place to retreat to. It would be strange if he was happy!
It had to be known that although Duan Peng and Ji Shaolei were once small, the gap between their statuses and the status of the Ji Clan became wider and wider as the Ji Clan grew stronger and stronger. Therefore, a relationship like this was like saving money in a bank.
However, just this once was enough to change a person's fate.
Obviously, Ji Shalei had this ability, but after this first time, Duan Peng couldn't ask Ji Shaolei to help him a second time. Friends had to pay each other back. Ji Shalei had saved all of his fortune, so how could he possibly repay him?
It was because of this that Duan Peng hated Qiao Jiakai even more. With such an important relationship with him, who else could Duan Peng ask for help when he met with even greater trouble?
At this moment, Li Weidong walked in from the club's door. He came to Qiao Jiakai's side with a wide smile and said with a respectful smile, "Young master Qiao, shall the banquet begin now?"
Qiao Jiakai smiled. "Weidong, you are now a landowner. This matter needs to be handled according to your wishes. You can arrange it yourself!"
Li Weidong was immediately filled with joy. Qiao Jiakai showing such respect to him in front of outsiders had undoubtedly made him very proud. In the future, his status in the Jiang Prefecture would naturally skyrocket.
"Alright, Young Master Qiao, please take a seat!" Li Weidong nodded his head with all his might and respectfully invited Qiao Jiakai to the main seat. Only then did he quickly walk a few steps to the top of the stairs and stand on the two steps as he said loudly, "Everyone, we are all people of status and status in Jiang Prefecture. Today, we have the honor of inviting young master Qiao Jiakai to partic.i.p.ate in our banquet.
"Hua!"
Applause immediately broke out from below, and everyone's expression was different. Some wanted to climb up to the Qiao family, some secretly sneered while others frowned, as if they were thinking about something.
Ji Feng didn't listen to what Li Weidong said at all. His gaze wandered around the hall as he took in the expressions of these people.
"Hmph, a.s.s-kissing brat!" Duan Peng coldly snorted while grinding his teeth. Li Weidong helped Qiao Jiakai organize such a banquet, so Li Weidong naturally became Qiao Jiakai's accomplice. They both came to pressure Duan Peng. Under these circ.u.mstances, it would be strange if Duan Peng had a good impression of Li Weidong!
Li Weidong seemed to know that he wasn't too popular, or perhaps he didn't dare to steal Qiao Jiakai's limelight. He said a few polite words and walked down.
At this moment, the waiters began serving the wine, and on the long table by the side, there were all kinds of food and dishes.
"It's even a buffet …" Ji Feng shook his head. Those tables and chairs were just for show. Actually, everyone would still hold their wine cups and pull on each other. Only the buffet could fulfill this condition.
Chocolate naturally became the main character of this banquet, and no one could outshine him. However, it seemed that Qiao Jiakai did not care about those who came to try and get on good terms with him. Furthermore, when ordinary people came to drink with him, he would only raise his cup, while those who sought him were still in high spirits.
Qiao family's third generation leader, it was already an honor for him to be able to deal with him.
Li Weidong respectfully followed by Qiao Jiakai's side, his eyes filled with uncontrollable pride. Every time someone came to toast with Qiao Jiakai, Li Weidong would introduce anyone with an important ident.i.ty. If their status wasn't important, he would stop them for Qiao Jiakai.
Those who didn't know would think that Li Weidong was Qiao Jiakai's follower. Who would have thought that this was the son of the mayor?
Li Weidong's flattering att.i.tude made Ji Feng shake his head, and Ji Shaorei couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Shaolei, someone like him can be called the number one and second young master of the Jiang Prefecture alongside you?" Duan Peng frowned as he watched. He couldn't help but laugh coldly.
Ji Shaoru was called the first young master of the Jiang Prefecture, and Li Weidong was called the second young master. Both of them were famous in the Jiang Prefecture, but to see Li Weidong mentioning them together with Ji Shaorei was an insult!
"It's okay, it's just a t.i.tle. I don't want it, but there were some b.a.s.t.a.r.ds in the past, so someone gave me that t.i.tle!" Ji Shalei smiled.
This t.i.tle wasn't a very pleasant one. If it became a big influence, it might affect the reputation of the Ji Clan. However, in the past, he had been young, so he had always been a foppish young man.
"Second Brother, these people don't really understand our family, right?" Ji Feng suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?" Ji Shalei was stunned.
Ji Feng smiled, "If these people really do understand our family, they wouldn't have the time to curry favor with you. They wouldn't have the same att.i.tude as you, the First Young Master. They would only want to curry favor with Qiao Jiakai."
Ji Shalei smiled and nodded, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. Father has always wanted us to keep a low profile, and he rarely mentions the clan's matters. Those who know about it are basically those who are in a high position, or those who truly have a backer.
Extreme vitality was bound to fall. This was a rule that would never change.
Now that the Ji Clan was so powerful, if they continued to make a name for themselves, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble. In fact, once they became powerful, they would decline even faster. Therefore, when the Ji Clan's old man and the second generation brothers saw this, they all kept a low profile.
This was something that Ji Feng completely agreed with. There was no clan that could prosper forever. The best way to extend the lifespan of a clan was to make others feel threatened.
"He's here!" Duan Peng suddenly said.
Ji Feng frowned as he looked up. Accompanied by Li Weidong and a few others, Qiao Jiakai finally walked over.
Ji Feng's gaze fell onto the few people behind Qiao Jiakai, and he was immediately startled. Where did these people come from?
When Qiao Jiakai came from the third floor, these few people were not around, nor did they follow behind him. Ji Feng's eyes narrowed. The reason why he was so shocked was because he felt that these people were even more dangerous than Qiao Jiakai!
That's right, danger!
"One, two …" Looking over, there were a total of four people. These four people actually caused Ji Feng to feel a sense of danger.
These were four experts! Ji Feng furrowed his brows. These four people didn't have the aura of a soldier, nor did they have any killing intent. However, they caused Ji Feng to be on guard, and from this, it could be seen how powerful these four people were!
Where did this master come from?
Ji Feng's eyes glimmered. There might be a fierce battle going on today!
