Chapter 531
Li Fan's expression remained unchanged as he took a slow sip of tea and glanced at Zhou Kebao. "You're not expecting me to step in and buy back the materials you’ve embezzled, are you? Although I'm relatively well-off, my contributions didn’t just fall from the sky. Besides, these materials are only useful for building the Immortal City and nothing else."
Zhou Kebao quickly shook his head. "I wouldn't dare be so ungrateful."
He cautiously glanced at Li Fan, bowing slightly in a flattering manner, "In fact, I came to you with the intention of resolving things peacefully..."
Suddenly, Li Fan slammed his teacup down on the table with a loud bang, instantly stopping Zhou Kebao in his tracks, his body stiffening.
Li Fan's expression turned cold, his eyes flashing with killing intent. "Resolve things peacefully? That’s not what you had in mind before."
"Embezzling so many materials, especially after I pledged a military order. You're pushing me, Li Fan, to the brink of death."
Zhou Kebao waved his hands in a panic, trembling as he explained, "That was never our intention! I swear! From start to finish, all we wanted was some financial gain..."
Li Fan remained indifferent, responding calmly, "Things have come this far, and I won't argue with you any further..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Kebao’s face lit up with disbelief.
