"Uh—well, it happened for a reason just now. I couldn't stop myself!" Shawn Young hurriedly tried to explain.
"Oh, please—I'm not interested in your explanations! You even hit a beauty! Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?" Fiona Tang, the stunning older woman, continued to pout playfully.
"Uh—guilty—" With her reminder, Shawn Young really did feel a bit guilty. After all, this gorgeous and seductive Fiona Tang had been knocked to the ground by him.
"Kid, what are you standing there for? Can't you see this beautiful lady was knocked down by you and can't get up? Where's your manners? Can't you even help me up? Ouch, you really hit hard! It hurts!" Fiona Tang glared fiercely at Shawn Young, rubbing her round, perky backside and whimpering coquettishly.
"Uh—" Shawn Young was stunned for a moment. Instinctively, he glanced at Felix Eagleclaw and the white-haired elder, trying to figure out Fiona Tang's identity. Unexpectedly, both men looked at her with astonishment, then glanced at Shawn Young, their expressions odd and hesitant.
"Hey—kid! Are you really that rude? Am I that ugly? Did I scare you? Is it so hard to help me up? What's wrong with you!? I'm not faking it, you really knocked me down so badly I can't get up. Maybe you even broke my spine!" Fiona Tang whimpered at Shawn Young again, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Oh—" Seeing her pitiful look, Shawn Young felt another pang of guilt. He hurried over, reached out, and helped her up by her smooth arms. As his hands touched her fair, tender skin, he felt a soft, elastic sensation—absolutely delightful to the touch. She also exuded a faint, pleasant fragrance that made Shawn Young's heart race. He glanced sideways at her, and Fiona Tang happened to be glaring back at him. Their gazes met at close range, and both felt a sudden jolt in their hearts!
Suddenly, Shawn Young noticed that Fiona Tang's gaze, besides a hint of grievance, also flickered with a mischievous glint, making him feel something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, Fiona Tang's expression changed abruptly, a blush rising on her exquisitely beautiful face. Then, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Shawn Young's left shoulder hard. Since their bodies were almost touching, Shawn Young was completely caught off guard. A sharp pain shot through his left shoulder as she bit through his shirt and even broke the skin, leaving a bloody bite mark!
"Uh—why did you bite me?!" Shawn Young yelped, instinctively pushing her away. He quickly became alert and wary, knowing Fiona Nangong wasn't weak—she just lacked brute strength because she was a woman.
"Hmph! Kid, I'm Fiona Nangong and I've never done a losing deal, nor have I ever been bullied by a man like this! You're the first guy to hit me so hard! I can't beat you, so I had to sneak attack you to vent my frustration!" Fiona Nangong snapped, her beautiful face stern.
"You—" Shawn Young was so frustrated he couldn't speak. He thought to himself, not only is this woman gorgeous, she's cunning too—using sneak attacks like that! He automatically classified her as an 'extremely dangerous' type of woman in his mind.
"You what? Let me tell you, kid, I just got a little interest back—my principal hasn't been returned yet! Remember that! If you want to bully me, it's not that easy. What, are you upset now? Want to hit me again? Go ahead, hero—hit a woman!" Fiona Nangong leaned in, taunting Shawn Young without mercy.
"Uh—" Shawn Young was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Fiona Nangong to be so difficult. But now that everyone had made peace, and with so many eyes watching, he really didn't dare do anything to her. For the moment, he was at a complete loss.
"Heh! Look at you now—where's all that bravado from earlier? Why aren't you having fun beating people up now?" Fiona Nangong pressed in on Shawn Young, her eyes gleaming with triumph.
Now Shawn Young was secretly groaning. He couldn't hit her, couldn't out-argue her, and she was so stunning—especially when she was angry. Her tight purple cheongsam had a little opening at the neckline, and with every breath, her full, white chest heaved up and down, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of cleavage. As Shawn Young felt helpless, his 'wolfish gaze' instinctively landed right on her chest!
"Ah! You—you really dare—you're bullying me again—ugh, you're so bad!" Fiona Nangong's pretty face flushed red, both hands covering her chest as she backed away several steps. Just like that, Shawn Young had mysteriously 'defeated' her!
At that moment, two people appeared in the Bihua Court private club—Charles Morin was pushing Samuel Morin in a wheelchair. They came straight over to the group, and Samuel Morin looked apologetically at Shawn Young and asked, "Brother Shawn, are you all right?"
"Oh, I'm fine!" Shawn Young replied quickly.
"Oh, good! As long as you're fine. Now, everyone has met—guess you could say we've gotten to know each other after a little scuffle. Let me introduce you: this is Quentin Easton, the legendary patriarch of the Easton Family in Beijing!" Samuel Morin pointed to the white-haired elder and introduced him to Shawn Young.

"Oh! Hello! So you're the head of the Easton Family!" Shawn Young exclaimed, clasping his fists in greeting to the white-haired elder.
"Heh—Samuel Morin, don't flatter me! Legendary patriarch of Beijing's martial world? I don't deserve that! Young Shawn here nearly sent me to meet King Yama just now!" Quentin Easton waved his hand and shook his head, smiling at Shawn Young.
"Heh—You all wanted to test Shawn's skills, I warned you! Anyway, let's move on. This beautiful lady here is the representative of the Nangong Family from Shanghai, attending the Three Great Houses' internal meeting—Miss Fiona Nangong!" Samuel Morin pointed to Fiona Nangong and said to Shawn Young.
"Huh? Family head representative?" Shawn Young looked curiously at Fiona Nangong, who glared back at him in embarrassment, making him quickly avert his eyes.
"Yes, the head of the Nangong Family, Martin Nangong, has been unwell, so he's handed over all major affairs to his daughter, Miss Fiona Nangong. She's extremely capable—not only has she led the family to great success, but she's also talented and beautiful. Truly a remarkable woman! Right now, the Nangong Family is the strongest among the Three Great Houses!" Samuel Morin praised Fiona Nangong enthusiastically.
"Oh, Uncle Morin, please don't flatter me—I really can't take it! With all these impressive titles, the pressure is huge. I'm almost thirty now and no one dares pursue me! Sometimes, I really wish I could be a normal, happy little woman... sigh." Fiona Nangong said with a bittersweet smile after hearing Samuel Morin's words.
"Yeah, that's true—your brother Brian Nangong still isn't ready to take over the family yet!" Samuel Morin remarked.
"Sigh—just mentioning my useless brother makes me mad! He hasn't learned any real skills, but he's an expert at eating, drinking, partying, and chasing girls! He's a total wastrel—aside from me and my father, no one in the family can control him! But I'm always busy, and my father is bedridden, so he just runs wild everywhere, flaunting his status as the family prince. I'm really afraid he'll cause big trouble for the Nangong Family one day!" Fiona Nangong sighed in frustration.
