Lin Fan felt a bit speechless. He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be a conflict between fans. He had never encountered this kind of thing because he wasn't a fan, though he had seen news about it, like fans from two teams getting into fights.

It was really a headache. Lin Fan was now the owner of the Yun City Football Club, and he was afraid he would encounter this kind of thing quite often in the future.

"What, you don't think the Yun City Team is garbage?"

Brother Chen, who was shirtless, couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing this, everyone in the restaurant laughed.

It seemed that the Yun City Team was unanimously considered bad.

"As everyone knows, the Yun City Team is about to drop out of the Super League. If nothing unexpected happens, which surely won't, the Yun City Team will be relegated, and then they won't even qualify for the Super League. If that's not called garbage, what is?" Brother Chen laughed heartily.

Lin Fan said, "I'm not here to debate with you. Whether the Yun City Team is garbage or not is not up to you. It depends on the performance of the Yun City Team."

Brother Chen said, "Performance? Everyone has seen the performance of the Yun City Team, hasn't they? Is there even a need to look?"

Lin Fan said, "Brother, you have to look at things with a developmental perspective, not staying in the past, but looking at the future. Anyway, in a few days, the Yun City Team will be playing, and it's against the Yecheng Team. Which one is more garbage will be clear then; there's no need to argue here. Besides, arguing until the cows come home won't result in anything. Let's let the facts do the talking."

Brother Chen sneered, "You talk a good talk, but in the end, the facts will only slap you in the face!"

Lin Fan said, "Let's just wait and see. I came to take my friend away. If there are no issues from your side, I think we can all disperse."

The skinny guy angrily said, "He insulted our Yecheng Team and thinks he can just walk away? It's not that easy!"

Lin Fan gave an "Oh" and asked Wang Xiangqian, "How did you insult their Yecheng Team?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "Brother Fan, it's not true. How did I insult them? I was just predicting based on Yecheng Team's performance tonight that they would lose by three goals, and then this guy lost it."

Lin Fan asked, "How many goals have they lost by now?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "They've lost two."

Lin Fan asked, "How long until the game ends?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "Three minutes left."

Lin Fan said, "Okay, let's wait three minutes to see how many goals they lose by in the end. If they haven't lost three goals, then my friend predicted wrong, and we'll apologize to you. If they lose three goals, then my friend was not wrong in his prediction, and the Yecheng Team's performance is indeed poor. You don't need to jump around over this. What do you think?"

Lin Fan looked at the skinny guy.

The skinny guy sneered, "I want him to kneel and apologize to me!"

Wang Xiangqian exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Fan, do you think he's making sense? Even if my prediction was wrong, do I need to kneel to apologize to him? Just he has self-respect?"

Lin Fan said, "Indeed, there's no need to kneel. Your request is too much."

The skinny guy said, "No discussion, he must kneel and apologize to me, whether you're willing or not!"

Lin Fan sighed and looked at Brother Chen, "Bro, speak to your friend. Judge this fairly."

Brother Chen sighed, grumbling, "It's just a trivial matter, what a fuss..."

He looked at Lin Fan with a chuckle, gestured to his own head, and said, "Buddy, my friend here is a bit obsessive, you know what I mean. If you all lose, just play along to save face..."

Lin Fan felt a bit speechless. He obviously realized that this skinny guy had an obsessive personality. Such people tend to go to emotional extremes, but that's his problem. Why should everyone indulge him?

Lin Fan was about to say something.

Just then, a lively sound came from the TV. Wang Xiangqian looked at the TV and cheered, "The ball is in, 3 to 0, I didn't predict wrong, you guys lost!"

Wang Xiangqian was equally delighted, grinning with pride.

"This..." Brother Chen sighed, really at a loss.

The skinny guy's face immediately turned ashen. Wang Xiangqian's smile clearly provoked him, and his body started trembling inexplicably as though he was brewing up emotions, ready to explode.

The girlfriend sitting beside him couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly ran over and pulled the skinny guy, "Let it go, let's leave, no need to make a fuss."

Lin Fan smiled, "Now it's settled. It seems there's no need to discuss the kneeling apology topic. My friend didn't predict wrong this time, and as per our prior agreement, this matter ends here, let's all go."

"No way!"

The skinny guy suddenly roared.

The Yecheng Team lost, and he had been slapped in the face by the facts, which was stimulating enough for him. Wang Xiangqian's smug smile further aggravated him, and he snapped.

"Today, you must kneel and apologize to me, otherwise don't think about leaving this place!" The skinny guy roared.

Seeing this, everyone in the restaurant shook their heads. This man was being unreasonable. He wronged others and still wanted them to kneel and apologize. Such a fragile ego, he might be a nutcase!

Wang Xiangqian was not a man without temper, and said with a laugh, "You're killing me with laughter. Look at you, is this any way to behave? It was just a normal thing, and you overreacted."

The skinny guy pointed at Wang Xiangqian, yelling angrily, "Will you apologize?"

Wang Xiangqian said, "No way!"

"You better apologize!" The skinny guy said, immediately advancing toward Wang Xiangqian. His girlfriend tried to stop him, but he pushed her aside.

It was still Brother Chen who intervened, blocking the skinny guy and advising, "Calm down, bro, it's not such a big deal..."

Lin Fan said, "Bro, just take him away, this matter ends here."

Brother Chen tried to persuade the skinny guy, but he wouldn't listen, insisting that Wang Xiangqian apologize.

Brother Chen sighed, having no other choice, said to Lin Fan, "Buddy, my friend insists. How about this, have your friend kneel and apologize for my face's sake. I'm a reasonable man, I won't let you suffer. I'll treat you guys to a late-night snack later."

Lin Fan: "…"

Brother Chen was confident indeed, with a tone that assumed Lin Fan and the others had no choice but to comply with what he said.

Wang Xiangqian, infuriated, said, "I won't kneel to him, so don't even think about it!"

Lin Fan said calmly, "What if I don't agree?"

Brother Chen said, "I've had enough of this nonsense. I was at home with my wife, eating roast chicken and watching short videos when I was called over by this mess. I just want to go back quickly. My wife doesn't allow me to be out too long, and I don't want to upset her. If you do as I say, it's giving me face. If not, that's not giving me face, and in that case, I'd have no choice but to personally make him kneel."

The other shirtless man who came with Brother Chen, who had been silent all along, said at this time, "Kid, don't say I didn't warn you. Brother Chen is a martial artist, trained by a famous Southern Fist master. A few days ago, he even attended a martial arts exchange meeting, and even Hongmen disciples aren't his match!"

Oh?

Lin Fan was taken aback, and couldn't help recalling an incident not long ago. He had encountered two uncles on the subway, who had a conflict with a couple. The two sides ended up fighting on the subway, and Lin Fan had helped to mediate.

Afterward, the two uncles introduced themselves as Hongmen disciples and even asked if Lin Fan was also someone from the martial arts world, inviting him to participate in a meeting three days later.

Lin Fan didn't know what they were talking about and didn't take it to heart.

Could it be that the meeting those Hongmen brothers mentioned is the same as this martial arts exchange meeting that the shirtless guy was talking about?
