Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter 262 The young masters of the Young Master clique, they’re far too arrogant compared to your average second-generation rich kids. Ye Tianchen knew this very well; with these young masters, merely intimidating them is useless. In each of their hearts, they almost all believe that they are the best in the world. Unless you get real, touch their skin, and get into their bones, they will definitely not feel any pain, nor will they retract their hideous faces in the slightest.

So, faced with Wang Bo, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old who’s younger than Ye Tianchen yet the most vociferous among them, demanding that Ye Tianchen kneel to the side and kowtow to them, well, there was no other way. Ye Tianchen could only take action, first breaking Wang Bo’s legs, forcing him to kneel in front of him, then delivering a barrage of slaps across his face, pa-pa-pa. The once haughty and invincible Wang Bo, who had never been subjected to such treatment from birth, was beaten by Ye Tianchen until he looked like a pig’s head, fainting beside them.

All the onlookers were dumbfounded, sucking in a breath of cold air. They had been making brazen claims, almost all speaking insolently toward Ye Tianchen and looking down on him, jeering and ridiculing him. They never expected Ye Tianchen to be so fierce, so ferocious. Perhaps no one had truly considered that someone would dare to hit someone else in front of these powerful and influential young masters. Weren’t they courting death? So when someone actually did it, they were all stupefied, at a loss.

In the past, within the Young Master clique, Ye Tianchen was just a minor character. Everyone knew that among these second-generation young masters, the crazy boys and girls, each one hailed from distinguished backgrounds. They were all arrogant in nature, and of course, there was also plenty of scheming and competition based on their families’ power. With a background like Ye Tianchen’s, the Ye family had long since declined to a third-class family, so he was only there to be bullied. Many of the people here used to frequently bully and scorn Ye Tianchen as if it were all just a game. Now, Ye Tianchen had suddenly undergone a transformation, rising up like a man. How could they stand that, who would want someone they once stepped on to climb back up? Wouldn’t that be utterly face-losing?

"Anyone else here fond of counting heads? I didn’t expect that even after these years, you still haven’t changed your habit of counting!" Ye Tianchen said, smiling as he looked at everyone present.

"Ye Tianchen, you’re damn too arrogant. You think just because you’ve been a soldier for a few days and have some fighting skills you can cause trouble. You’re still green!" A middle-aged man around his thirties glared at Ye Tianchen and said fiercely.

"You’re wrong. I’m not that green, but your mom is a bit greener. Jiang Wei, your old man should already be the vice minister of the Ministry of Defense by now, right? Climbed up pretty fast, huh? Shame you’re still the same old idiot!" Ye Tianchen still had a smile on his face as he said this to the middle-aged man.

"You... huh, believe it or not, with one phone call, I can have all of the Ye family arrested?" Jiang Wei growled through gritted teeth.

"Oh, is that so? I really don’t quite believe that. Why don’t you make that phone call and try?" Ye Tianchen shrugged indifferently.

At that moment, everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Wei. Since he had stepped forward, many were curious to see whether Jiang Wei could deal with Ye Tianchen. After all, Wang Bo turned out to be a tragedy; such a domineering person was beaten to a pulp by Ye Tianchen within moments, sending chills down everyone’s spine. They were already hesitant to stick their necks out, for Ye Tianchen’s aura had completely changed. The Capital City’s laughingstock, the notorious good-for-nothing prodigal son, the Ye Tianchen who was always at their mercy seemed to disappear. Instead, there appeared to be a king whom no one could afford to provoke, a man with a Death God’s smile.

Jiang Wei stood frozen in place; he didn’t expect Ye Tianchen to actually dare say these words. He also hadn’t considered really making the call to have the Ye family arrested by his father, as his own dad wasn’t a fool and would certainly not heed every request. He could only exaggerate the situation. Now that he had made these bold statements, with everyone looking at him, he had no choice but to stiffen up and pull out his phone.

The truth is, the young masters of the Young Master clique didn’t actually wield that much real power; they were simply backed by their strong family connections, which made most people unwilling to provoke them. Additionally, some family elders were extremely protective, always defending their descendants regardless of the situation. Even if their grandchild had killed someone, they would rush to smooth things over, completely disregarding others’ lives, having become somewhat senile.

But then again, these young masters lived off the power of their families. It’s not that they were ineffective; they could manage small matters because people would still give them some respect. However, when it came to truly significant matters, this group could only turn to their families for help. After all, their parents were not fools either; they wouldn’t simply act on their children’s words. That would be utter chaos and was certainly impossible.

"What’s the matter, Big Young Master Wei? Not going to make the call quickly? Your old man might be waiting!" Ye Tianchen said with a smirk.

"Fine, fine, I’ll show you what it means to be arrogant. Just wait till I make you kneel and beg me!" Jiang Wei glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen one more time as he connected to his father’s phone. What these second-generation rich kids valued most was face; they couldn’t afford to lose their so-called pride. Having always carried themselves as the best in the world, how could they tolerate even the slightest grievance?

Soon, Jiang Wei’s call connected and he began speaking right away, "Dad, order an immediate arrest of everyone from the Ye family!"

"The Ye family? Which Ye family?" Jiang Wei’s father asked, a bit puzzled.

"Which other Ye family could it be? It’s the one that has long declined to a third-class family, utterly insignificant, that also produced that idiot Ye Tianchen!" Jiang Wei said with ease and disdain. First, to show that he didn’t take Ye Tianchen seriously, and second, to convey to his father that the Ye family was just a declining third-class family, implying that arresting them was no big deal.

"What’s going on?" Jiang Wei’s father was no fool; being the deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, his mind was not easily influenced by others. Even if it was his own son asking for favors, he would still ask for details. After all, it was not easy to reach his position, and his official cap was at stake.

"Dad, it’s nothing serious, just Ye Tianchen, this idiot, dares to cause trouble in front of us. I want him to know who’s boss, to let him know that the Ye family is nothing, and I can kick them all to the curb with just one foot..."

But before Jiang Wei could finish his ruthless speech, he heard his father’s scolding voice, "You’re the one talking nonsense, fool. Is Young Master Ye there? Give the phone to him; I need to have a few words with him!"

Hearing his father’s words, Jiang Wei turned to Ye Tianchen in surprise. At that moment, Tianchen was leisurely smoking with his legs crossed and occasionally sipping some red wine, enjoying the spectacle of these spoiled second-generation youths. Since it was rare for them to gather, he thought it fitting to clean them up nicely. Not only would he settle old scores, but it would also be amusing and a chance to show Bai Wu that without telling the truth, no one could save him.

"Dad... there’s not much to say, he’s just an idiot. I can handle him myself; you’re just..." Jiang Wei started to say quietly and with some embarrassment.

"Fool, now give the phone to Young Master Ye, or I will kick you out of the Jiang family. I don’t need a son like you!" Jiang Wei’s father shouted angrily on the phone.

Now that was awkward and pitiful, and Jiang Wei could only laugh bitterly - this was a real slap in the face. Just now, to show off his family’s power and let everyone know how formidable he was, dealing with Ye Tianchen was supposed to be a trivial matter, requiring just one phone call. Thus, after dialing his father’s number, he purposefully hit the speaker button so that everyone could hear. To handle a minor Ye family, to take care of a minor Ye Tianchen, was supposed to be an easy task.

Of course, now everyone had heard the conversation between Jiang Wei and his father, as well as his father’s words, which left them puzzled. Even if Jiang Wei’s father thought Jiang Wei was making a scene, there was no need for such anger, and he even asked for Ye Tianchen to take the call in a very respectful manner. What exactly was going on?

Jiang Wei paused for a moment, then glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way and had no choice but to stiffly hand over the phone to Ye Tianchen. He was also somewhat puzzled, as his father had never behaved like this before; he had always been responsive to his requests. What was happening today? Thinking about it, he felt a bit scared; after all, there were other grandchildren in the Jiang family, and it was indeed possible for him to be kicked out.

"What’s the matter, you’re going to get your dad to lock up everyone in the Ye family, right? Tell me, when should I come over to kneel down to you?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile as the phone was handed to him.

"You... you’d better not be ungrateful..."

"Young Master Ye, is that you? I’m Minister Jiang Shan from the Ministry of Defense. I’m really sorry; I haven’t disciplined Jiang Wei well, did I upset you? I’ll be sure to break his legs when I get home and punish him properly!" Before Jiang Wei could finish speaking, his father’s voice rang out again, startling everyone.

The deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, what kind of position was that? To have him show such respect and actually apologize in person, how powerful must the other party be? Especially since the person was Ye Tianchen, someone who seemed quite unlikely to ever turn the tables, and yet at that moment, he revealed an incredibly impressive side.

"Minister Jiang, hello there. Your son Jiang Wei said he is going to arrest all of the Ye family, making us kneel and beg for mercy. I was just wondering when I should come over and kneel?" Ye Tianchen asked, still with a smile on his face.

"This... haha, Young Master Ye, you must be joking, of course. My son is ignorant; please don’t take it to heart. As for such a worthless son, I have nothing to say – feel free to teach him a lesson!" Minister Jiang hurriedly laughed awkwardly.

"Since Minister Jiang has said that, I’ll just give him a little kick, see if he can survive it..."

Bang!

Jiang Wei was sent flying with a kick from Ye Tianchen...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it and leave your monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
