Chapter 906: Chapter 906 Taggart Niles

Ling Feng’s face revealed a hint of surprise. "Mr. Liu, I didn’t expect to see you here!"

The newcomer was none other than Liu Yuntian, the e-commerce mogul of Huaxia, who was also a top-tier billionaire on a global scale. He had come to attend the European Development Union meeting because his e-commerce empire had established collaborations with many prominent families in Europe.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect to see you either!" A trace of curiosity flickered in Liu Yuntian’s eyes. He knew Ling Feng was no ordinary person, but he hadn’t anticipated running into him here.

"You and Yuwei call each other siblings, yet you address me as Mr. Liu. Isn’t that a bit distant?" Liu Yuntian teased with a laugh. "Is calling me Uncle Liu really that hard?"

Ling Feng genuinely didn’t want to cause trouble for Liu Yuntian, but since Liu Yuntian had put it this way, Ling Feng smiled faintly. "Uncle Liu, that was my mistake earlier for being too formal!"

Liu Yuntian chuckled. Publicly, Ling Feng was a fellow Huaxia person like himself, and as a Huaxia person, Liu Yuntian certainly wouldn’t turn a blind eye. Privately, Ling Feng was not just Yuwei’s brother and close friend but had also once helped resolve a crisis for him. Naturally, Liu Yuntian felt compelled to step in.

"Mr. Ficknilas!" Liu Yuntian turned to Feike and said sternly, "If my ears did not deceive me, your earlier words carried a hint of disrespect toward us Huaxia people. As a proud Huaxia person, I demand that you apologize to all of us Huaxia people!"

Liu Yuntian’s status compared to Ling Feng’s was on an entirely different level. As a world-class billionaire, Liu Yuntian’s influence surpassed that of the Nilas Family. Even for a family like Nilas, dealing with someone like him required utmost caution and respect.

"Mr. Liu, I think there might be some misunderstanding!" Ficknilas, despite not understanding Huaxia language, had noticed the seemingly close relationship between Ling Feng and Liu Yuntian. He quickly tried to diffuse the tension.

"A misunderstanding?" Liu Yuntian’s brows furrowed, and his tone turned icy. "If it’s truly a misunderstanding, then I may need to reconsider my partnership with the Nilas Family!"

It was no secret that Liu Yuntian’s e-commerce empire had partnerships with numerous nobility and families. In today’s era of globalization, even the most powerful families had recognized the significance of e-commerce. As a dominant figure in global e-commerce, Liu Yuntian was afforded the highest respect by countless families.

However, for Liu Yuntian to potentially sever ties with the Nilas Family over an unknown individual seemed like a decision that could ruin both sides. The financial losses could be catastrophic!

That said, the Nilas Family stood to lose much more than Liu Yuntian did.

"No, Mr. Liu, this... really is just a misunderstanding!" Ficknilas was completely flustered. If the partnership failed because of him, even as a core member of the family, the Clan Leader would never forgive him!

Just as Ficknilas was becoming desperate, a deep voice resonated through the room, "Mr. Liu Yuntian, the words you just said are unbecoming of a proper businessman!"

"Clan Leader!" Ficknilas’s eyes brightened as he immediately rushed forward to greet the newcomer.

The man who arrived was none other than Chief Taggart, the leader of the Nilas Family.

Taggart Niles appeared to be nearly fifty years old. His physique wasn’t particularly robust—if anything, he seemed slightly frail—but his entire presence exuded a predatory aura. From a distance, he resembled a lion lying in wait.

Liu Yuntian gave Taggart a calm glance and said, "Mr. Taggart, while it’s true that business is business, my primary identity is not that of a businessman. I am first and foremost a Huaxia person. As a proud Huaxia person, I have an obligation to protect the dignity of my people. This is something you Europeans could never understand—our pride and our deep sense of honor as Huaxia people!"

Hearing Liu Yuntian’s righteous declaration, Taggart’s brows involuntarily furrowed.

In Taggart’s view, Liu Yuntian’s insistence on such a personal matter was childish. A businessman should act like a businessman. Pursuing profit was the essence of business. Fighting for one’s country and ethnicity? Wasn’t that a matter for governments?

For the European nobility, built around the concept of family-centric power structures, they could never truly grasp what it had cost Huaxia people over the last few decades to rise, or the blood and tears behind the transformation of overseas Chinese standing tall on the global stage.

Even Liu Yuntian, during his early entrepreneurial days and business exploration abroad, had endured innumerable scorn and ridicule from foreigners!

Looking at Liu Yuntian’s unwavering gaze, Taggart said indifferently, "Feike, apologize."

Ficknilas looked stunned. "Big Brother, what did you say? You want me to apologize?"

"Do you intend to disobey my order?" Taggart’s tone was imbued with unquestionable authority. "Apologize for your earlier words!"

The Nilas Family’s collaboration with Liu Yuntian’s e-commerce empire spanned the globe. If this partnership were severed, the Nilas Family would face tremendous losses—something Taggart could not tolerate.

For the sake of immense profits, what did an apology matter?

"I’m sorry!" Ficknilas clenched his teeth and finally gave in. Though the words felt humiliating, considering Liu Yuntian and Chief Taggart were on the same level, apologizing to Liu Yuntian wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

Liu Yuntian nodded slightly. Since Ficknilas had apologized, there was no reason for him to push matters further.

"What’s going on here?" Taggart noticed three young individuals tied to a flagpole and frowned. "Why haven’t you untied them yet?"

Ficknilas quickly nodded. "Understood, Clan Leader!" He stepped forward, ready to free them.

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. From the moment Taggart appeared, he hadn’t so much as glanced at Ling Feng. Even though the incident stemmed from Ling Feng, in Taggart’s eyes, only Liu Yuntian carried any weight.

"Did I say you could release them?" Ling Feng stepped forward, blocking Ficknilas’s path, smirking faintly. "Do you people really think you can act so high and mighty in front of me? Stay back!"

With that, Ling Feng delivered a swift kick to Ficknilas. The move was so fast that Ficknilas had no time to react and was sent flying several meters before crashing to the ground.

Taggart finally shifted his gaze to Ling Feng. His narrow eyes carried a venomous, snake-like quality. "Young man, your strength is commendable, but if you think you can oppose the Nilas Family, you’re not even close to being qualified."

Taggart waved his hand and commanded, "Seize him!"

Two silent men stepped out from behind Taggart, their presence emitting a faint, oppressive aura.

"Two Demi-God Domain experts!" Ling Feng grinned. "Chief Taggart, as expected of the leader of the Nilas Family, you even have two Demi-God Domain experts as your bodyguards. But if this is the extent of your trump card, I’m afraid you’re destined for disappointment!"
