"We agreed to just come and talk, no making the first move," Lin Beichen said softly.

He understood in his heart that Huo Minghao must have called for backup, and the reason he agreed to come to the conference room for talks was merely to stabilize them, ready to strike internally and externally when his reinforcements arrived, to teach them a lesson.

"But..." Huo Sizun was clearly unwilling as he glared at Huo Minghao, wishing to go up and slap him twice.

"See, even an outsider has better judgment than you, knowing that opposing me doesn't lead to a good end. You're already so old, yet you still lack this bit of discernment?" Huo Minghao took Lin Beichen's act of stopping Huo Sizun as fear towards his status, and spoke smugly.

Lin Beichen chuckled at these words, he had never seen such a conceited person.

"Go ahead and laugh, you can laugh all you want now, but later you might not find it so funny," Huo Minghao said through gritted teeth. Although he hated Lin Beichen enough to grind his teeth, he knew he was no match for Luo Xianping, who stood behind Lin Beichen. So he could only endure for now, waiting for the right moment.

Nonetheless, during this time he definitely would not let Huo Sizun have it easy.

"Don't think just because you bring an outsider who can fight that I'll be afraid of you. For so many years, what have you contributed to the Huo Group? And you dare to claim to be my fourth uncle, what right do you have?" Huo Minghao was full of contempt and disdain towards Huo Sizun.

Although Huo Sizun was extremely angry, he could only temporarily endure because of Lin Beichen's words.

Huo Minghao, however, became increasingly insistent.

"If I were you, even if I came here today to support Huo Ziyan, I absolutely wouldn't speak of identity. Your mind really isn't fit to talk to me, so stop trying to get attention here!" Huo Minghao snorted coldly, turning away in a posture of not wanting to bother with Lin Beichen and Huo Sizun and the others.

"Huo Minghao, don't be too oppressive!" Huo Sizun couldn't hold back any longer; he had come this time to retrieve what belonged to Huo Ziyan, and also couldn't let the Huo Group be destroyed by Huo Minghao's hands.

"Is that all? If you have nothing more to say, I'm leaving, I don't have time to waste on you bunch of riffraff," as he said this, Huo Minghao got up to leave.

At this moment, the conference room door was suddenly kicked open. Everyone's eyes turned to the doorway, where a burly man appeared at the conference room entrance, panting heavily.

"Who dares cause trouble for President Huo?" The burly man's voice was rough, looking at Lin Beichen and the others in the meeting room, his eyes fierce, clearly not a good person.

The moment he saw the burly man, a playful smile appeared on Lin Beichen's face. His gaze landed beside Huo Minghao, just as he had expected, Huo Minghao hadn't come unprepared; this burly man must be the support he called for.

However, was Huo Minghao underestimating them too much? Did he really think that bringing a big guy would scare them? Did he really think he was raised frightened?

Previously, Huo Minghao had verbally insulted Huo Sizun, even telling Lin Beichen not to meddle. But that was just quick words, he didn't dare have any physical confrontation with Lin Beichen and the others.

But things were different now, with backup, Huo Minghao was immediately emboldened. He slowly got up and walked to Lin Beichen, patting his shoulder.

"Earlier when you came in, I thought you were quite arrogant. Now that my backup is here, dare to repeat what you just said to me?" Huo Minghao provocatively looked at Lin Beichen, as if he had already won.

Looking at Huo Minghao's arrogant demeanor, Lin Beichen did not respond. It's just one person, is that enough to excite him?

"Afraid you'll stay silent now? Wise move. But, we still have an account to settle."

As he spoke, Huo Minghao turned to look at the burly man who had just barged into the conference room.

"This person is yours to handle. Earlier, they hit my men, now I want you to give it back. You better make it quick!"

After speaking, Huo Minghao sat down beside him, arms folded, looking smug as if he was watching a show, seemingly already seeing Lin Beichen and others getting beaten black and blue.

"President Huo, are these the people you want me to deal with?" The burly man glanced at the people around Lin Beichen, his gaze full of disdain.

"Just these few, and you need me to step in?" He snorted, thinking Huo Minghao was making a fuss over nothing.

"That's not my concern as long as you handle them, you won't miss a cent," Huo Minghao only wanted to see Lin Beichen and others humiliated, not paying attention to the burly man's words.

The burly man nodded and waved his hand.

Soon, more people appeared in the conference room, dressed in a way that they seemed to be the burly man's followers.

"President Huo, these are just a few of my students from the martial arts club. Since it's just these few worthless people, let my students have some practice." The burly man said impatiently.

He wasn't too concerned with Huo Minghao's orders, only thinking it was an easy task.

Huo Minghao waved his hand, indicating the burly man was free to handle it however he liked. What he cared more about was the outcome, as long as he could see Lin Beichen and others being dealt with, he'd be satisfied.

Then the burly man's students charged at Lin Beichen. Luo Xianping stepped forward like an arrow, blocking Lin Beichen and Huo Sizun, throwing a left hook that knocked out the first apprentice rushing toward him.

The other followers saw one of their own being hit and became enraged, preparing to give Luo Xianping a hard time.

However, they never expected that Luo Xianping's actions were unusually swift, easily dealing with those charging towards him.

"With skills like yours, better not come out to embarrass yourself in the future," Luo Xianping said seriously, causing Lin Beichen to laugh.

Seeing the burly man's students easily handled by Lin Beichen's people, Huo Minghao became furious.

"I asked you to solve the problem, not to embarrass yourself!" He yelled, as if trying to unleash all his inner anger.

Nevertheless, the burly man seemed not to hear Huo Minghao's shouts. He began to take a keen interest in Luo Xianping, the seemingly ordinary person who had such remarkable skills.

His students might not be martial arts masters, but handling a couple of random thugs should have been no problem. Yet Luo Xianping resolved it without a scratch on him, forcing the burly man to reassess this person in front of him.

"Seems you know a thing or two, I underestimated you," The burly man smirked wickedly, "In that case, let me get a taste!" With that, he swung at Luo Xianping.

Upon hearing those words, Luo Xianping gently beckoned with a finger towards the burly man, the message was clear—bring it on.

At that moment, Huo Minghao suddenly appeared behind the burly man. Seeing the burly man not acting fast enough, he impatiently kicked him, snarling, "Less talk, get on with it!"

The burly man, helpless, swung his fists, rushing towards Lin Beichen, thinking that since Lin Beichen had been quiet all along, he must be easier to handle than Luo Xianping.

Little did he know, Luo Xianping's speed was even faster than his. Luo Xianping's figure flickered, blocking in front of Lin Beichen, and took the burly man's punch head-on.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle, fists flying and feet kicking, neither gaining the upper hand. Even Huo Sizun, who wasn't proficient in martial arts, could see clearly,
