C10 Someone They Can't Afford To Offend
Fifth Master Hong hadn't noticed the strange look in Ye Chen's eyes. He was still thinking that if he could really recruit such a capable man, it would be much easier for him to develop his power in Haicheng.
In a few days, the three provinces would jointly organize the underground Martial Arts Tournament. If he could let this person go on stage as the representative of him, he might be able to shock the people around him. If that was the case, he would have a meteoric rise and would no longer need to stay in a small place like Haicheng!
On the side, Bai Xiaoxuan also did not expect that such a good thing would actually fall on Ye Chen's head. She hurriedly persuaded, "Ye Chen, hurry up and agree."
If Ye Chen became fifth Master Hong's subordinate, she would surely be saved.
More importantly, if Ye Chen really get recruited by fifth Master Hong, then he would become much stronger than Lee Yueze! At that time, he would not be a weakling anymore!
Ye Chen looked at fifth Master Hong and couldn’t help scoffing lightly, "You don't even deserve to be my dog."
Bai Xiaoxuan's heart jumped and her face turned gloomy in an instant. She pulled Ye Chen and said in a low voice, "Why do you not know what's good for you? If you don't want such a good thing, what else do you want?"
Being remarked as a dog, fifth Master Hong's anger immediately surged up.
Since he had risen to this place years ago, he had never been looked at by such an insufferably arrogant gaze. Hence, he immediately narrowed his eyes and warned coldly, "Young man, I advise you not to ask for trouble. I only need to say one sentence and I can completely make you disappear from the world without a sound!"
After a pause, fifth Master Hong continued coldly, "Not only you, but your parents, your family, and your friends will have to pay the price!"
The way fifth Master Hong dealt with things was not only to fight and kill, but also to rely on the power behind him.
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to threaten me like this."
Ye Chen only said with a smile on his calm face. The reason he caused this mess was not for Bai Xiaoxuan and these stupid dogs. It was for the girl with the Heavenly Fox bloodline in this room.
No matter what, he had to take this girl with him. Since this fifth Master Hong was not sensible and giving him a slight trouble, then he should just let him die!
Ye Chen's eyes flashed coldly. He had already decided to kill fifth Master Hong.
Thus, he turned to Bai Xiaoxuan and the others and said lightly, "There is nothing for you all to do here. Just go out first."
When Lee Yueze heard these words, it was as if he had been granted amnesty. He turned around and ran out immediately, thinking that since this fellow insisted on seeking his own death, then let him die!
The others also hurriedly followed Lee Yueze out.
Bai Xiaoxuan wanted to say something more to Ye Chen, but she was pulled out by Lee Yueze.
After they had successfully escaped, Chen Feng was still afraid and said, "I was really scared to death just now! This Ye Chen really has a problem with his brain. Fifth Master Hong will definitely not let him off lightly."
Lee Yueze also sneered and shook his head. "This boy is dead for sure this time! Ignore him and let's go!"
A trace of worry and reluctance surged in Bai Xiaoxuan's heart. However, when she thought of Ye Chen's character of not knowing how to appreciate favors, she could only blame him in her heart for being insensible.
...
In the room, Ye Chen looked coldly at fifth Master Hong. He was ready to use some Spiritual Qi to destroy his brain and turn him into a useless living person who could not do anything!
But at this moment, Ye Chen's phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He retracted the Spiritual Qi and picked up the phone as if there was no one else around. He completely ignored the raging fifth Master Hong in front of him.
It was Shen Mengyue's voice which came from the other side of the phone. She said respectfully, "Hello, Mr Ye. I am Shen Mengyue. We met on the train before."
Ye Chen frowned slightly as he responded, "Your Shen Family is really efficient. You must have found out everything about me in these few hours."
Shen Mengyue hurriedly said, "Mr Ye, don't misunderstand. We have absolutely no intention of offending you. I just heard that you are holding an engagement party in Glorious Hotel tonight. Grandpa specially asked me to send a few gifts to express our gratitude and admiration for you."
The corner of Ye Chen's mouth suddenly rose. He said lightly, "I have already said that you don’t need to thank me. What I did was just returning the favor."
At this time, fifth Master Hong leaned on the sofa and said, "Kid, you are afraid now? Are you making a phone call to find someone to help you? Let me tell you, in Haicheng, the moment I want your life, even if the heaven’s father comes down, it's useless!"
Shen Mengyue could hear fifth Master Hong's voice from the other side and immediately asked nervously, "Mr Ye, are you in trouble?"
Ye Chen replied indifferently, "It's just a clown. It's not much trouble. You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
This made Shen Mengyue a little annoyed. As a princess of Jiang Province, this was the first time a man dared to hang up on her!
Moreover, judging from Ye Chen's tone, it was obvious that he didn't want to have too much contact with the Shen Family.
Before, her grandfather had repeatedly reminded her to properly give the gifts to Ye Chen so that he could feel the admiration the Shen Family had for him.
Thinking of the voice just now, Shen Mengyue frowned and thought to herself, ‘Who exactly does not have eyes and provoked him?’
Thinking of this, Shen Mengyue got reminded of something. She was shocked and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. She hurriedly rushed out of the Rolls-Royce which was already parked in front of the Glorious Hotel and ran towards the elevator.
At this time, fifth Master Hong was mocking Ye Chen, "What? You couldn’t find anyone to plead with you even if you call for help? Let me tell you, in Haicheng, the person who can help you with me has yet to be born. Just one word from me and tonight, your entire family will..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the door of the private room was kicked open by someone!
Shen Mengyue walked in with a face full of anger.
Fifth Master Hong was stunned at the sight of her. His mouth was still wide open and due to his shock, his sunglasses fell off his face, revealing a pair of small eyes filled with fear.
He stammered out, "Young…Young Miss, why are you here..."
The current fifth Master Hong no longer had that arrogant look from a minute ago. His entire body couldn't help but tremble. He, Hong Wu, could be arrogant in front of others, but in front of the Shen family, he was just a dog!
Oh no, even if he was a dog, it wasn't his turn to be a dog!
Shen Mengyue looked at Hong Wu and guessed that he must be the one who angered Ye Chen. Thinking about what she had just heard in front of the door, she immediately used an extremely cold tone and said to Hong Wu, "Hong Wu, you are acting very arrogant outside. From whom did you borrow the courage to provoke Mr Ye?"
Fifth Master Hong was so scared that his lips trembled and he was at a loss of what to do. He hurriedly said, "I am sorry, Young Miss. I did not expect Mr Ye to be your friend..."
Hearing this, Shen Mengyue became very angry.
On the train, she already knew that Ye Chen was not an ordinary person at all. He was an expert who could help her break through to the first level of the cultivation base in a second. Even her grandfather had to respect him, but a mere person like Hong Wu dared to challenge him?
At this moment, the corner of Ye Chen’s mouth raised slightly and he said indifferently, "Miss Shen, is this fifth Master Hong a member of your Shen Family? Your Shen Family seems to be really powerful."
Shen Mengyue heard the sarcasm in Ye Chen's words and drops of sweat appeared on her forehead immediately. She smiled apologetically and said, "Mr Ye must be joking. Hong Wu is not a member of the Shen Family. He is just a small force outside the Shen Family."
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and tilted his head at the unconscious girl on the sofa. He said with a smile that was not a smile, "Do the small forces outside the Shen Family casually insult young girls?"
"This..." Shen Mengyue was speechless as she looked at the girl on the sofa.
How could she not know what had happened? For a moment, she did not even know how to explain. She could not help but coldly look at Hong Wu.
Hong Wu was frightened by this look. He hurriedly lowered his head timidly.
Shen Mengyue continued with an apologetic expression, "I'm really sorry, Mr Ye. It is our Shen Family who did not discipline the smaller forces well. I will definitely handle Hong Wu's matter seriously. I hope that Mr Ye can be magnanimous and spare his life."
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and waved his hand. "Forget it. I will give Old Master Shen some face. Now, I will take this girl with me. As for Hong Wu and the others, it would be best for them to behave properly in the future. Next time, if something happens like this in front of me, I will take their lives!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Hong Wu's forehead was full of sweat. He no longer had the arrogant attitude he had at the beginning since he had realized the situation.
Ye Chen ignored him and walked straight to the sofa, picking up the girl who was still unconscious. After that, without a word, he walked to the door to leave directly.
A trace of disdain flashed across Shen Mengyue's heart. She thought to herself, ‘This guy looks very righteous, but in fact, he is a big pervert.’
Of course, she was just thinking in her heart. On the surface, her face was still respectful. She was even considering if she should choose some of the best beauties from the Hundred Flowers Camp in the family to give to him.
Of course, Ye Chen was also aware that his action could be misunderstood. However, he didn't bother nor care to explain. As a dignified Immortal Emperor, he didn't need to be understood by ordinary people.
"Mr Ye!" Seeing that Ye Chen was about to leave, Shen Mengyue hurriedly shouted, "In order to express my gratitude to you, grandfather specially asked me to give you 20 million, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and one of the top villas in Cloud Peak Villa community. Please accept it."
When Hong Wu heard these words, Another shudder ran through his whole body.
At first, he thought that Ye Chen only had a good relationship with the Shen Family, but now, it seemed like even the Shen Family would try their best to curry favor with him. Just what kind of background did this young man have?
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and nodded indifferently.
He accepted these gifts without any pressure. He had helped Shen Mengyue break through to the next level after all, so there was nothing wrong with them giving gifts.
Although he looked down on the martial artists, Ye Chen thought that his current cultivation was not high enough. He could just let the Shen Family be his servant to help him find some medicinal pills that could help him improve. He could also give them some martial art techniques which would be enough for them to kowtow and thank him.
