Chapter 111: He Disrespects Me
"Yun'e, you're getting more and more beautiful."
One of the female elders spoke with a smile, "Why haven't you come to see me lately?"
Hearing this, Yun'e's expression became somewhat complicated. "Recently, I've been... I've been taking care of my junior brother. I haven't had a chance to come. I'm sorry, Elder Li."
"Hehe..."
Elder Li chuckled and shook his head. "You little girl, taking care of your fellow disciples is a good thing. It shows you're thoughtful. What's there to apologize for?"
"Alright."
Seeing the two begin to chat, the old man in the middle said in a deep voice, "We're not here for reminiscing today. Let's get straight to business."
That old man was the Grand Elder of the War God Hall, his face dignified, and his tone carried an unquestionable air.
"Elder, then I'll be frank."
Fang Fan spoke solemnly, "The War God Temple has never had a Vice Temple Master. I'm here today to tell you all that I have a candidate."
"That is my younger brother, Fang Chang."
"War God."
The Elder frowned slightly, his face cold. "Do you know what you're saying? The matter of the Vice Temple Master is no trivial matter. Even if you are the War God, you must consider the opinions of us old fogies."
"Otherwise, wouldn't the War God Temple become a one-man show?"
Yun'e also glanced at Fang Fan with some surprise.
She hadn't expected Fang Fan to intend to give the Vice Temple Master position to Fang Chang.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Yun'e had witnessed how much Fang Fan protected Fang Chang before, so giving him the Vice Temple Master position now wasn't a big deal.
As for herself, she had never coveted the Vice Temple Master position.
Coupled with today's events, she felt somewhat guilty towards the elder, so she chose to remain silent on this matter. If she were to offer her opinion, she would certainly wholeheartedly agree.
"Elder,"
facing the elder, Fang Fan continued calmly and respectfully, "Since I am the God of War, the position of Vice Hall Master is naturally decided by me. Isn't that the rule?"
"Elder! Why are you wasting your breath on him!"
Just as the Elder was considering what to say, the hot-tempered Third Elder interrupted.
He turned to look at Fang Fan, his face showing a hint of contempt: "God of War, do you know why we're here today? It's not to decide on any Vice Hall Master."
"It's to decide whether another candidate can compete fairly with you for the position of God of War."
"As long as you can obtain this position fairly, there's nothing more to say. Forget Vice Hall Master, even if you made us old folks retire, I wouldn't object."
"Third Elder..."
Yun'e's brows furrowed slightly, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction.
Originally, she intended to remain on the sidelines, but the Third Elder had actually chosen another candidate for the God of War position, which was unacceptable.
Fang Fan was, after all, her junior brother, and the position of God of War had been passed down to him by their master.
She absolutely couldn't lose this position.
"The position of God of War was personally passed down to Fang Fan by the previous God of War, who is also my master. Now that he has inherited the position, I don't think there's any need for further competition."
"If you have any doubts about the selection of the Vice Hall Master, we can discuss that, not the position of War God."
"Heh..."
The Third Elder chuckled. "Yun girl, yes, this position was passed down to him by your master, but have you considered that our War God Hall has never been a one-man show?"
"Fang Fan has taken the position of War God, but has he fulfilled the duties of a War God during this time?"
"He hasn't even been to the overseas headquarters, has he?"
"Furthermore, he's constantly diverting our War God Hall's funds. Helping the Fang family is fine, after all, he shares the Fang surname, but helping his own brother acquire shares is a bit much, isn't it?"
"And he even has the audacity to talk about the Vice Hall Master position? Heh... Don't be so hasty in using public office for personal gain."
As he spoke, the Third Elder looked at Fang Chang, his eyes full of disdain.
The Third Elder knew this spoiled rich kid very well; he had already reviewed his information.
A bully who preys on men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds—how could such a person be a deputy hall master?
As for the title of "Spendthrift Child," he didn't care at all. The first two points were enough; who cared about the origin of the "Spendthrift Child" title?
"Look at your mother?"
Seeing the Third Elder scrutinizing him, his previous words dripping with sarcasm, Fang Chang's anger flared.
Before, he had remained silent, sitting there appearing very polite.
But now, the elder had spoken so bluntly; why should he give him face?
Fang Chang raised his feet and placed them directly on the table, his face full of arrogance.
When it came to being unreasonable and putting on airs, who could beat him?!
*Bang!*
Upon hearing Fang Chang's words, the Third Elder, enraged, slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Who are you cursing?"
Fang Chang, leaning back in his chair, said calmly, "Whoever answers me, I'll curse them. Looking at you, veins bulging, eyes bloodshot, you probably have a liver problem. I advise you not to get so agitated, or you might just die of a sudden shock right here."
"Let's make this clear first, none of us touched you. If you're trying to scam me, go find a car and crash into it yourself; at least you'll contribute to the country's GDP."
"Don't try to be unreasonable with me. This is Suzhou, do you think it's some foreign country?!"
"If you bark at me again, I'll have someone break your legs and make you crawl out."
"Fine, fine..."
The Third Elder laughed in fury. He looked at Fang Fan and said coldly, "This is the Vice Hall Master you chose? You have absolutely no respect for me."
"What do you have that deserves respect?"
Fang Chang didn't give Fang Fan a chance to speak, glaring at the furious Third Elder before him, his words aimed at destroying his spirit: "I was going to ignore you, but you've become increasingly audacious."
"If I become the Vice Hall Master, the first thing I'll do is have the War God Hall pluck all the hair off this old bastard!"
"And what about the War God Hall not being a one-man show? What? You're planning to hold a vote?"
"What are you pretending for?"
Bang!!!
The Third Elder slammed his palm into the table, shattering it. His body crackled with energy, clearly enraged to the extreme.
Fang Chang wasn't afraid at all.
Leaving aside his own powerful attributes, he had come prepared.
If he were abroad, he might behave himself. But at home, would he let a few old men bully him?
He turned to Yun'e, his face serious: "Remember, he broke this table. Make him pay for it."
"You, I'll make you..."
"Alright, Third Brother!"
The Third Elder was about to intervene, but was stopped by the First Elder.
"Big Brother, he..."
"I know. Let's sit down and talk. We're not here to argue!"
"..."
