C19 Backup 

Everyone fell silent. Even the bystanders couldn't believe their ears. This kid actually dared to speak so arrogantly in front of these powerful figures. Was he trying to get himself killed?

"You're so arrogant!"

The old man was so angry that his entire body was shaking. Suddenly, he roared and slammed his right palm onto Ye Chen's head. The force of the blow was so strong that it was enough to blow them all back. The wind howled in response.

"Go to hell!"

Cheng Hongguang's eyes widened in excitement. Let's see what this arrogant kid would become.

"Young Master, don't worry," the other old man whispered. "The kid's boasting was enough to anger my brother. His skull—his entire body, even—would be crushed in one blow."

Bang!

As soon as his voice rang out, a loud sound echoed around them. The old man's expression became serious. With his narrowed eyes, he had seen the brat react at the last moment—raising his own palm to withstand the attack.

Even then, he wasn't bothered. The brat was what? Twenty? It was impossible for him to defeat the man.

The others obviously had the same thought. As soon as the two opponents exchanged palms, the bystanders around them cheered. It seemed that Ye Chen's death was inevitable.

Two seconds had passed.

Ye Chen suddenly moved.

Withdrawing his hand, he stepped out from puffs of smoke surrounding them. "You are too useless." He sneered. "You couldn't even withstand one of my palms."

"What?"

The crowd was surprised. They hurriedly stepped forward to look at the third brother of the Wen Clan, only to stare in disbelief. The old man was just lying there. He couldn't even move his body!

The third brother was about to say something only to spit out a mouthful of blood. Cracking noises echoed across the silent room as he tried to move, and he groaned. His chest stopped rising.

"Third brother!"

The two old men roared in anger. One of them accumulated all his strength while the other advanced quickly. Without another word, they threw themselves at Ye Chen to avenge their loved one.

"You've come at the right time!"

The young man didn't seem all too bothered as he extended both his palms. Suddenly, a fierce wind knocked them both down as the roars of tigers and dragons echoed through the halls.

When everyone came to their senses, they saw the two elders joining their brother with their eyes closed. They, too, were on the verge of death.

"How is this possible?"

This time, the confident expression on Cheng Hongguang's face crumbled. How could this ordinary kid defeat three of the great guardians of the Cheng Family?

He must be a true expert!

The reason why he had been so fearless from the start wasn't due to the backing of the Shen Family, but rather, he was strong enough to handle his own.

If he were an ordinary son from a useless family, he would've been too scared to speak. However, Cheng Hongguang was different. Knowing the gravity of the situation, he secretly sent a message through his phone.

"I met an expert at the Haicheng base! Hurry up and get Third Uncle to come over. Clear the place and kill him!"

Yes, kill him!

There was no way this man should live!

If he didn't kill Ye Chen today, then what did he do after...He wouldn't be able to sleep or eat in peace knowing that he was around. He could even become a Martial Arts Master in the future!

If that happened, Ye Chen would be the greatest weapon of the Shen Family!

Beads of sweat slid down his forehead. There must be a way that he could keep Ye Chen here without provoking him.

However, before he could say anything, Ye Chen smiled. "Don't worry. I won't be going anywhere."

As he spoke, he led Xia Yuting straight to the sofa. He seemed more relaxed this time around.

This brat!

He didn't even take the opportunity to run away! Did he really think that he'd be able to beat the Cheng Family if they focused all their strength?

Cheng Hongguang was also stunned. However, before he could say anything further, Ye Chen glanced over at him. "You don't have to defend yourself," he replied. "You've called over some people to help you out, right? This fight...was a disappointment. I hope you've brought some more people to cheer me up. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."

What did he just say?

The bystanders exchanged glances.

He said that he'd wait.

Has he gone crazy?

Cheng Hongguang was completely dumbfounded. Should he cry in fear? Should he laugh in indignation? Ye Chen's potential was truly frightening, but he was too arrogant! When his Third Uncle would arrive, he would surely plummet him to the death.

It doesn't matter. He just had to stall for time.

Ye Chen went straight to the fridge and brought out two non-alcoholic drinks for him and Xia Yuting.

The people around them were not as relaxed. However, they dared not move, hoping to be there when the events unfolded.

Xia Yuting hesitated as she pulled the corners of his shirt. "Why don't we head back first?"

"It's fine." He patted her hand. "We're already here. We can stay a little bit longer."

Suddenly, his phone rang out.

Ye Chen casually picked up the phone.

"Mr. Ye?" Shen Mengyue's voice came from the other end of the line.

"What's wrong?"

He raised his eyebrow.

There was hesitation for a moment before she said, "Where are you?"

"The Golden Leaf Club."

"So it is you!"

Shen Mengyue froze. "I was wondering why there was such a big commotion. The Cheng Family had just sent out a few hundred men, and Cheng Potian has gone with them," she said urgently. "Quick! Give the phone to the Young Master of the Cheng Family! Do you know how much trouble you're in?"
