"Alright, look at you guys, acting like you have some deep-seated hatred. There's still proper business today; there'll be plenty of chances to deal with him later. Stop it, even Hanyun here hasn't said a thing!"

Qi Wutong looked at the men arguing and couldn't help but giggle as she spoke.

Upon hearing Qi Wutong's words, they finally shut their mouths.

Other people's words can be ignored, but Qi Wutong's cannot be disregarded.

Zhou Hanyun also just smiled beside them, not saying much.

In situations like this, she wasn't sure what to say.

Moreover, this was Yang Yan's intention; even if she felt unhappy inside, she wouldn't interfere.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, there were already quite a few people there chatting away.

The main purpose of a banquet is to let people strengthen and build connections; it's a social occasion and not just about gourmet food and fine wine.

To put it bluntly, it's mutual flattery, seeing if there's any chance to get acquainted with the higher circles.

Once Yang Yan and his group came in, Lu Fei had already walked over.

Seems like he was waiting there for quite some time.

Yang Yan took Zhou Hanyun and Dawn to find something to eat.

They had only grabbed a bite outside at noon after breakfast.

Not sure if Zhou Hanyun and Dawn were hungry, but Yang Yan was starving.

"What's wrong? You all look down, who ticked you off?"

Lu Fei looked at Zheng Peng and the others, asking suspiciously.

Zheng Peng immediately recounted what had happened to Lu Fei.

Upon hearing it, Lu Fei furrowed his brow and then asked:

"That shouldn't be, nobody here should offend others so easily. Who's that guy? Point him out to me later."

While they were still discussing how to deal with that guy, Yang Yan was eating a big plate of steak.

While eating, he was also putting food on Dawn's plate.

Zhou Hanyun went to the side to eat some fruit.

Probably for the sake of keeping her figure, she's not too fond of meats.

As for Dawn, probably due to earlier times, like Yang Yan, she kept her eyes fixed on the meat, eating non-stop.

"Hmph! Bumpkins are bumpkins, acting like they've never eaten before. So, managed to sneak in and plan to gorge on things you've never tasted before all at once?"

"Better not eat yourselves to death. You lot could be the rotten apples that spoil the whole barrel."

This voice sounded so familiar.

Turning my head, indeed it was that self-important guy standing aside, speaking sarcastically.

Is he picking a fight with me?

Looking to bolster his sense of superiority and gain attention here?

Yang Yan said with a cold smile:

"Isn't it just that someone wouldn't sell a watch to you? Do you need to bark all over the place like a Mad Dog?"

The man wasn't anyone else; it was that Wang Xiang encountered this afternoon at Lu Fei's shop.

He hadn't intended to mock Yang Yan and the others, but seeing the watch in Yang Yan's hand, his anger just couldn't be suppressed.

So, out of rage, the earlier scene occurred.

"Hmph! It on someone like you is the biggest insult to it. I'll give you a chance; I'll pay ten million for it."

Wang Xiang spoke boastfully, like a proud rooster, towards Yang Yan.

"Idiot! Didn't hear Lu Fei say it? You and it aren't destined; this isn't something money alone can buy!"

Yang Yan remarked calmly.

Seeing Yang Yan's composed demeanor, Wang Xiang became even more infuriated.

Right then, his desire to acquire that 5959P blazed inside and kept surging.

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Wang Xiang suddenly laughed:

"You'll definitely give it to me, and it'll definitely be mine, no matter the means."

He threw those words and turned to leave.

"Utterly baffling!"

Seeing the other person walk off like that, Yang Yan laughed helplessly and continued eating with Dawn.

As Yang Yan and Dawn were still busy devouring the feast, suddenly the lighting dimmed.

With two exceptional-looking hosts, a man and a woman, appearing on stage, the night's banquet finally began in earnest.

Initially, Yang Yan was somewhat interested in Baiyu City, but on hearing Guoguo's engagement announcement and with Frost Heaven's encouragement, he perked up.

"I reckon tonight will be lively."

Yang Yan raised a glass, talking to himself.

From not far away, Wang Xiang saw Yang Yan, originally contemplating a continued taunt.

But on second thought, he finally held back.

With the banquet underway, out of respect for the host, he had to restrain himself a bit.

Otherwise, if he upset the host family for no reason, it wouldn't be worth it.

The host of tonight's banquet is the well-renowned and historically deep-rooted Hongmen.

As for Guoguo's family, it must be mentioned; they're likewise a prominent family in Huaxia.

Huaxia's thousands of years of civilization have passed, with several grand families preserved through the ages.

Among them, the Mo Family is one.

Anyone with even a slight knowledge of history would surely know about Mozi and his Mo Family doctrines.

Guoguo's family is the genuine direct descendant of Mozi.

As for Hongmen, it needs no further introduction.

Originating from the famous Heaven and Earth Society, it now seems somewhat fallen.

Over time, overseas Hongmen has divided into several factions, each claiming to be the legitimate Hongmen, yet none accepting the others.

Making what was once a respectable great society now appear somewhat fragmented.

And with modern developments, the Mo Family has also waned.

So these two giants, for unknown reasons, have decided to initiate a marriage alliance.

"How about it, quite the spectacle, right? This banquet's scale is the largest in recent years."

Zheng Peng said proudly from the side.

"Did you really get the invitation by yourself for this kind of scale?"

Yang Yan glanced at Zheng Peng skeptically.

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? You have to know my first love is now going global! Not just domestically, but there are at least a thousand branches overseas."

"Do you know what that means? It means my desserts are welcomed worldwide. As a top entity in the industry, of course, I deserve the due respect."

Upon hearing Yang Yan question his achievements, Zheng Peng immediately got riled up.

"Tch! Alright, alright, I won't eat sweet things anyway; I much prefer spicy food over sweet. What's the deal tonight?"

"I've collected some intelligence, but I still don't know much. How did Hongmen and the Mo Family get involved?"

Yang Yan asked, somewhat puzzled.
