C18 Let's Play

"This is..."

Everyone saw Ye Chen's trump card and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He had actually won!

"You must be kidding."

Cheng Hongguang also paled. He had initially thought that the leader of the group was Lee Yueze. He didn't even notice that Ye Chen had won.

Ye Chen actually had two kings (one red and one black) and three black aces. How was this even possible?

After a moment of silence, he smiled. "I didn't expect you to be good at gambling. Do you mind playing for a couple more rounds?"

He had said it so casually that anyone would almost believe him. However, Ye Chen could see the fierce look in his eyes. If he dared say no, he'd be taking action.

"If he had just stayed on the side, Young Master Cheng would've let him go, but he just had to act like a hero!"

Chen Feng gritted his teeth and muttered this under his breath. When he saw that Cheng Hongguang had offered to play with him, he scowled. The others were staring at the young man and wondered what his answer would be.

"No problem." Ye Chen shrugged. "I'll play with you till the very end. However...can you afford to lose?"

"You're arrogant!"

Cheng Hongguang was amused. "Fine. The rest of you—get out of my sight. You and the lady are the only ones allowed to stay."

Xia Yuting wasn't happy about having to stay, but it was this or nothing. She glanced over at her friend and felt confidence surging through her. Maybe he can do it.

Chen Feng and the others were more than overjoyed. Rolling their sleeves, they supported their friend Lee Yueze and ran out. No one cared about them as they did so. All their eyes were trained on the man who had stayed behind.

The group of friends didn't bother to stop till Lee Yueze reached the hospital. As soon as he was brought onto the stretcher, the realization hit them like a brick.

They wanted to set a trap, but they ended up losing all their savings. Their friend even had one of his hands broken!

What will they do now?

"Ye Chen is dead now!"

Lee Yueze sneered. He had lost everything this time around, and he had even offended the Cheng Family. All of this was brought to him by that damned bastard!

However, this time, that bastard was going to get a piece of his own medicine. Even the Young Miss of the Shen Family wouldn't be able to get him out of this mess.

On the other side of the city, Ye Chen once again pulled out his trump card and won another ten million from the man in front of him.

Cheng Hongguang was already breathing heavily. He had been so confident in his gambling skills, but how could he keep losing every single time?

This was impossible!

"Enough!"

Finally, Cheng Hongguang chucked his card onto the ground. His eyes were bloodshot and his palms were sweaty.

Even the onlookers heaved a sigh of relief. Finally. They could finally put an end to this madness.

Ye Chen, however, didn't seem to be bothered by anyone. "What else do you want to play? I said that I will accompany you to the very end."

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Cheng Hongguang blinked in surprise. As a disciple of a big family, he wasn't as ignorant as Lee Yueze. He knew very well that one shouldn't judge a person based on his appearance.

Before this, Cheng Hongguang didn't pay much attention to Ye Chen, but when he realized just how extraordinary this person was, he immediately used his power to investigate.

As soon as he discovered who he was, he burst into laughter.

"I don't even know why you're so arrogant. You're just a worker from the Ye Village, and you dare go against me?" He scoffed. "Do you think you can act this recklessly just because you're friends with the daughter of the Shen Family? Let me tell you—even if Shen Tianming would show his face here today, we would grant him no mercy."

He continued, "Today, you will die!"

After listening to Cheng Hongguang, Ye Chen stood up. Just when everyone had thought that he was going to kneel and apologize, he cocked his head to the side and pointed at the three men standing behind him.

"Fine, the three of you attack together."

Everyone was dead silent. They knew that Ye Chen was arrogant, but not this arrogant!

One of the old men laughed and stepped toward him.

Although he was walking very slowly, he gave people the feeling that he was some sort of dragon. It was as if there was nothing in this world that could make him stop.

"Young Man, it is rare for you to achieve so many at this age. Even then, you are no match for him."

He stretched his arms and formed a stance.

While his movements weren't considered as quick, they were very smooth. A series of afterimages appeared in their eyes as they struggled to catch up with the man's movements. It was as if the air was rippling all around them.

"Wow, even if I trained thousands of years, I can't match him," one of the bystanders sighed in disbelief and the others nodded in agreement.

Even Cheng Hongguang smiled. "He has been a personal disciple of my great grandfather. Do you think you can survive being smashed into pieces, young man?"

"Your palm technique is that powerful?" Ye Chen gazed up at him.

"While I am much weaker than my teacher, I have killed a hundred experts."

The old man smiled. "I see that you are also a man of extraordinary talent. If you are willing to kneel down and apologize, I might even take you in as my disciple. Whatever the Shen Family can give you, the Cheng Family can give the same. What they can't give, we can give."

As soon as the surrounding people had heard of this, their eyes sparkled. To join the Cheng Family! That was the dream indeed!

However, under everyone's jealous gazes, Ye Chen chuckled. "I'll spare your life if you can survive my own palm strike," he slowly said.
