"What's wrong?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's gentle voice, Ya Fei's previously anxious heart instantly calmed down a lot.
It was just the voice of a boy whose Adam's apple was just beginning to develop, still carrying a hint of childishness, yet it instantly put her at ease.
She took a deep breath, gently smoothed down her chest, which had nearly made Lei Le's eyes pop out, and then softly said to Xiao Yan, "Well, those old guys from the Family want to hand over the business in Utan City to this guy to replace me."
"To put it simply, the profits from this Utan City branch during this period have been truly eye-catching. Even many first-tier cities in the Empire might not have earned as much as I have during this time."
Hearing Ya Fei's explanation, Xiao Yan nodded with some understanding.
Indeed, since his Rebirth, because all his methods were much stronger than in his previous life, the money he earned in the past six months had been an extremely large sum.
And the money Ya Fei received had probably already reached a net profit of nearly a million, a sum far greater than the benefits he brought her in his previous life.
Looking at all the branches of the Mittel Family throughout the Gama Empire, perhaps only the Mittel Family headquarters in the Gama Empire had such terrifying money-making ability.
Such a huge profit would indeed be tempting.
"However, don't those fools in the Mittel Family know that the reason this Utan City branch can achieve such huge profits is all because of you, their capable general?
If they just replace you like that, aren't they afraid the business will collapse?"
A branch with an annual income of a million, even for a major power like the Mittel Family, must be extremely important.
"Heh heh, that's precisely why they sent someone here this time."
Ya Fei gave Lei Le, who was sitting opposite her, a look of disgust and was about to explain, but she was interrupted by him first.
"Kid, where did you sneak in from?
How dare you call people from our Mittel Family fools?"
Slowly standing up, Lei Le was glaring at Xiao Yan with an unfriendly expression.
A half-grown boy suddenly barging in and interrupting his show-off had already made him somewhat displeased, and after seeing how well Ya Fei treated this young man, he found Xiao Yan even more unlikable.
Especially after seeing Xiao Yan publicly call people from the Mittel Family fools, he could no longer hold back.
Those fools Xiao Yan spoke of, weren't they him and his grandfather's group?
Ignoring Lei Le's voice, Xiao Yan remained calm, looking at Ya Fei in front of him with composure, and softly said, "Ignore him, you continue."
Seeing Xiao Yan like this, Ya Fei's heart became even calmer, her beautiful peach blossom eyes staring at Xiao Yan, with a strange glow subtly flickering within them.
"That group of people naturally couldn't just replace me so openly.
But they have already investigated and know that my rapid rise in Utan City is entirely due to my acquaintance with an Alchemist."
At this point, a light suddenly shone in Ya Fei's beautiful eyes, slightly excited.
"You don't know, after I brought the Foundation Establishment Liquid to the Empire a while ago, even there, it caused quite a stir. The price of the Foundation Establishment Liquid was even once driven up to sixty thousand gold coins.
So, they naturally came here to poach people from me."
"Ya Fei, why are you discussing these things with a child? These things are about to become Family secrets!"
Watching Ya Fei suddenly become charmingly smiles in front of Xiao Yan, even though he was just a boy, a surge of jealousy still rose in Lei Le's heart.
This woman had never given him such a good look before.
"Go, throw this brat out for me!"
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was chatting and laughing with Ya Fei, Lei Le glanced at the burly guard beside him and motioned for the strong man to drive Xiao Yan away.
"Lei Le, how dare you!"
Hearing Lei Le's voice, Ya Fei's face instantly turned cold, her beautiful eyes staring coldly at Lei Le. She slammed her hand down, and the two guards at the door also walked in at this moment.
"Treating my friend like this on my territory, do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
"Heh heh, Ya Fei, setting aside other things, your two guards are probably no match for my guard, are they?
Today, I'll run wild on your territory, what can you do?
Women, it's better to stay in the Family and be a pretty vase."
Looking at Ya Fei's angry expression, Lei Le felt a sense of retaliatory pleasure.
Looking at Lei Le like this, Ya Fei's eyebrows first knitted in anger, then a cold smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
Her rosy lips parted slightly, and a cold voice escaped.
"Believe me, if you touch him, you will definitely regret it."
"Hahahaha, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
"He's just a child, what can happen even if I touch him?"
Hearing Ya Fei's warning, Lei Le laughed heartily, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled the burly man to throw Xiao Yan out.
"Sigh, although dealing with scum like you is beneath me, why do you always have to come to me to be dealt with?"
Amidst this tense atmosphere, the boy's somewhat helpless voice suddenly rang out.
Xiao Yan slowly raised his head, his pair of dark eyes calmly glancing at Lei Le, which suddenly made the latter shiver inexplicably.
"Little brat, playing mind games!"
Lei Le suppressed the sudden unsettling feeling in his heart and was about to tell the guard to be rougher when he saw Xiao Yan's eyes had already met those of the burly guard.
"Fall!"
To Ya Fei and Lei Le's astonishment, Xiao Yan suddenly snapped his fingers softly.
The next moment, the burly guard, whose cultivation had already reached a Six-star Dou Shi, suddenly screamed, and then his body stiffened, falling straight down.
"Thud!"
The burly man's heavy body crashed directly onto the ground, his eyes tightly shut, like a dead person.
But this dull sound seemed to strike everyone's hearts, instantly transforming the astonishment in their eyes into shock.
What did this young man do? How could he make a Dou Shi expert fall straight down with just a snap of his fingers?
There were many experts in the Mittel Family who could kill Dou Shi, and even many who could easily kill Dou Shi.
But to make a Dou Shi expert fall directly with just a snap of the fingers, such an eerie and powerful method was probably something even the Clan Chief of the Mittel Family, the Dou Wang Teng Shan, couldn't do.
Looking at the young man's calm face with a hint of a smile, a chill involuntarily rose from everyone's feet.
Ignoring everyone's frightened gazes, Xiao Yan walked step by step towards the retreating Lei Le, a slight smile on his lips.
"For an idiot like you, whose head is only filled with thoughts of women, even giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf is incredibly difficult."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan had already reached out and grabbed the other party's collar.
"I'll fight you!"
With his collar grabbed, perhaps the fear from earlier had truly scared him, or perhaps he thought there was a master behind Xiao Yan and wanted to capture the leader. Lei Le's face showed a look of horrified ferocity.
His Dou Qi suddenly erupted, his Seven-star Dou Zhe strength fully revealed.
However, before he could use any techniques, a slender palm had already come towards his face, with such force that it directly dispersed all his Dou Qi.
"Slap!"
