Chapter 405 - Five Billion Yuan Per Year!
Ye Chen returned to the hotel on the same night.
Chiba Yoshiko and Miyamoto Take obeyed his order, whereby they took the plane back to Japan that night. Ye Chen was not worried that they would betray him. After all, he had taken their soul blood, so he had their lives in his hands.
Ye Chen smiled. “It’s time to go home!”
His trip to Hong Kong this time was rewarding. Not only did he get the Nine-section Soul Herb to save the Patriarch of Hell, but it was also a surprise to hear about the Night Demon.
He just had no idea if the rest including the Prison Warden, Wushuang, and the Immortal Slashing Saber were still alive or not!
After all, Ye Chen had to fight three enemies on his own after the sneak attack during the battle. He was considered to have done everything he could. It was just too devastating.
Ye Chen suddenly jolted when he arrived at the room. He felt like his heart was pounding.
“Is someone looking for me?” He could not help but stop as he frowned slightly. “Is it Lei Feihu or Shen Tiannan? It’s unfortunate. Do you think an ordinary person like you can find me? Even King Wen of Zhou can’t do it if he’s still alive!”
He shook his head and took out his key card to open the door. He saw a well-dressed lady sitting on his bed. She seemed to be chatting with someone on her phone while looking sad.
Dai Shiyu stood up in surprise as soon as she saw him. “Mr. Ye, you’re back!”
“How did you get into my room?” Ye Chen asked.
“Of course, I got the hotel manager to do it for me!” Dai Shiyu smiled sweetly. She seemed to have recalled something as her pretty face blushed.
“Go back to your room!” Ye Chen said and walked to the bed to start packing. When Dai Shiyu noticed this, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Ye, you’re leaving?”
“That’s right.” Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Dai Shiyu’s smile froze as she said rather unwillingly, “Mr. Ye, w-will we see each other again?”
“We will if it’s destined.”
She revealed a smile upon hearing that. She said in a rather unnatural tone, “Mr. Ye, I’m going back to Shanghai. If you visit Shanghai one day, remember to visit me.”
She was tearing up when she said that.
She had snuck out this time because the Dai family had arranged a marriage for her. The man was the son of an executive from Korea’s Samsung Group. Never had she thought she would meet Ye Chen along the way while running away from home.
She had a complicated feeling about Ye Chen. Because she thought he was just a passenger on the ship, she had merely chatted with him because he liked reading Tao Te Ching just like her father did.
However, what Ye Chen did after that surprised her over and over again. This mediocre-looking young man had stunning techniques that were comparable to her father.
The more they spent time, the more she felt he possessed a calm heart. He was overbearing and calm no matter what he encountered. He would not be seduced by beauty. Although he was cold, he was still a gentleman. She even suspected that her father, Dai Tinglou, might not be as mature as Ye Chen.
Ye Chen smiled lightly in response to her kindness. “Sure!”
After she left, Ye Chen used his Divine Consciousness to scan the ground floor of the hotel. He spoke to Wang Long who had been waiting downstairs through voice transmission, “Come up!”
Wang Long was a little shocked by the voice that came into his head out of nowhere. He said to the fearful Tang Ning after recognizing Ye Chen’s voice, “Let’s go!”
“Uncle Long, you must beg Mr. Ye for mercy for me. I’m begging you!” Tang Ning’s pretty face turned pale while she shook.
‘Dead! They’re all dead!’
The five powerhouses on the world leaderboard attempted to kill Ye Chen by working together, but they never thought that they would be killed instead. Even Hong Kong’s Thunder King and Shen Tiannan’s sons, Lei Can and Shen Xingye, were dead!
Ye Chen was like the devil and the god of death to her!
She knew about the grudge between Ye Chen and her. While she resented him, she dared not run because she knew that she could not escape from Ye Chen’s abilities. Even if she did, the entire Tang family would be dead.
Therefore, she was willing to come to apologize to Wang Long.
“I’ll try my best! Wang Long sighed softly. Since he had asked the Tang family for a favor earlier, he was unwilling to see Tang Ning die.
However, it did not depend on him whether what he wanted
In the end, Mr. Ye had the right to decide!
…
When they walked into the room, Ye Chen was packing his bags. Tang Ning knelt hard onto the ground and said while shaking, “Mr. Ye, please spare my life!”
“Young Mistress Yang, how would I dare to kill you? After all, you were the one who threatened to make me kneel!” Ye Chen took a good look at her in a condescending manner. He revealed a mocking smirk at the corner of his lips.
Tang Ning shuddered to hear that, and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She said after clenching her teeth, “As long as Mr. Ye spares my life, I’m willing to be your slave! Mr. Ye, the grudge between us isn’t on the brink of life and death yet. It’s more useful to keep me alive than to kill me because I’ll be taking over the Tang family. By then, you can use my entire family…”
Tang Ning tried to persuade Ye Chen while racking her head. She knew that pure begging would be futile. She had to prove her value as that was her biggest hope to live.
Wang Long, who was next to her, could not help but say, “Mr. Ye, Young Mistress Tang came from a popular family. She’s arrogant, and that’s how she accidentally offended you. Meanwhile, the Tang family has existed in Hong Kong for years. They’re pretty righteous while the Old Master Tang is a generous man of justice. He did me a favor years ago, so I’d like to shamelessly ask you to forgive Ms. Tang for me.”
There was no expression on Ye Chen’s face while he asked calmly, “Then, how does the Tang family compare to the Thunder King and Shen Tiannan?”
Wang Long and Tang Ning were stunned as soon as they heard that. Tang Ning said immediately, “The Thunder King and Master Shen are dignitaries of Hong Kong. My family can’t compare with them no matter what. However, apart from them, my family is the most powerful one in the entire Hong Kong!”
Wang Long could not stop nodding in agreement.
“Sure, I can spare your life,” Ye Chen shook his head lightly and said, “But your family must pay me five billion yuan per year. It’ll be considered the price to buy your life!”
“Sure!” Tang Ning forced a smile.
Five billion yuan per year would amount to 50 billion yuan in ten years!
“Secondly, I’ve completely offended the Thunder King and Shen Tiannan during my trip to Hong Kong this time. You’re so close to me, Wang Long. I’m sure they’ll take revenge on you,” Ye Chen spoke again, “So, I’m asking the Tang family to work together with the Sun Yee On Guild. Wang Long must be safe, or there’s no need for the Tang family to exist!”
“Thank you, Mr. Ye!” Wang Long bowed.
It had been bothering him all this while. Although he did not kill Shen Xingye and Lei Can, it did not mean that Lei Feihu and Shen Tiannan would not take revenge on him. With the Tang family’s protection, his life would be spared.
Tang Ning nodded and said, “Sure. If the Thunder King and Shen Tiannan really come to attack Uncle Long, my family won’t stand by and watch!”
“But, Mr. Ye, I’m worried that the Thunder King and Shen Tiannan will work together to attack you,” Wang Long said, feeling rather nervous.
Lei Feihu and Shen Tiannan could shake Hong Kong up with a stomp alone, causing chaos in the world. If they were to work together, it was hard for even Mad Southern Ye, China’s No. 1 to handle them.
“Them?”
Ye Chen smirked in disdain and turned around to look at Tang Ning. “I hope that you’ll remember your commitment that you agreed to earlier. If you go against it one day, then it’s time for you and your family to die!”
