Chapter 60 - Shock in Capital City

He had been running to the bathroom all night long with a stomach issue, making more than ten trips, and only now did he start to feel slightly better.

Even with his King-level Superpower Realm, Tianchen was exhausted.

His eyes were somewhat greenish, and he wished he could immediately kick Qi Ruxue, the obnoxious miss, out of the house.

However, Qi Ruxue was outside the door, knocking and talking while barely holding back her giggles.

She could imagine just what reactions Tianchen, the big bad guy, had after falling for her trick and eating the fruit platter laced with a heavy dose of croton powder last night.

So she pretended to come and knock early in the morning, calling on Tianchen to wake up and eat breakfast, but really she was there to enjoy the spectacle of Tianchen’s misery.

“Ah, I worked so hard last night to prepare a fruit platter and kept it in the fridge.

This morning I found it all gone, and even the plate is missing…

Thinking back to the footsteps back and forth in the hallway last night, could someone have had stomach issues?” Ruxue said with a sexy, mischievous smile, deliberately saying things to infuriate Tianchen.

“Qi Ruxue, this isn’t over between us…”

Amidst Tianchen’s roaring, Qi Ruxue swayed her enticing little bottom, walking down from the second floor with a triumphant smile.

Ever since she met Tianchen, the big bad guy, he had shown disdain toward her.

Despite being a beautiful woman chased by numerous men, Tianchen dared to look down on her, severely bruising her ego.

Thus, Ruxue had always been thinking of ways to get back at Tianchen, and now that she had successfully pranked him, how could she not be happy?

After sleeping for the entire morning, Tianchen barely regained some strength.

By the time he left his bedroom, it was around noon.

His mother Luo Yan, his younger sister Ye Qianwen, along with the reason for his day-long stomach troubles, Qi Ruxue, were all out.

Remembering what his mom said when she knocked on the door in the morning about going shopping with his sister and Ruxue, and that they wouldn’t be back until the evening, he was left to fend for himself for lunch.

Having suffered from stomach troubles all day, Tianchen was genuinely hungry.

After moving his limbs a bit to regain some strength, he started looking for something to eat.

The kitchen was empty, only noodles were available, and Tianchen was too lazy to cook, so he opened the refrigerator.

When he saw a prepared pork intestine soup, he was overjoyed.

It was a delicacy, something absolutely unavailable during the apocalypse.

Just as he prepared to take the pork intestine soup out and steam some rice for a wonderful meal, Tianchen shivered suddenly.

His mom had specifically said, when she left, that he should find his own food, and had prepared nothing for him.

How was there a big pot of pork intestine soup in the fridge now?

Could it be that Qi Ruxue, that savage girl, was trying to set him up again?

“Hmph, I will definitely not fall for your tricks again, Qi Ruxue.

Bro would totally take revenge if it weren’t for the fact that you’re a woman…”

Tianchen said fiercely, shut the fridge door, put on his coat, and walked out of the villa.

He planned to go to Beifeng Pavilion to order some dishes and have a drink, enjoying the brilliant sunlight outside.

Upon entering Beifeng Pavilion, Tianchen found the place bustling with young lords gathered in groups, all engrossed in gossiping, chatting happily.

He casually found a spot, not hiding this time, right in the main hall, ordered a couple of dishes, and a bowl of white rice to start his meal.

“Did you hear?

Luo Songcheng surrounded the Ye family estate last night with his troops.”

“Yeah, I heard it was because Tianchen killed his two grandsons, and Luo Songcheng went to take revenge, planning a massacre at the Ye family estate.”

“What happened in the end?”

“It’s said that Tianchen showed up, and somehow Luo Songcheng actually withdrew.”

“No way, the always dominant Luo Songcheng gave up on avenging his own grandsons?”

“Damn, what’s up with Tianchen?

He was a prodigal wastrel before, but since coming back from the military, he’s like a changed man, so domineering and unexpected!”

“The key is, recently, the biggest gossip in Capital City has been about Tianchen. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In just a few days, this guy has rocked the entire city.

I really want to meet this guy and see what he’s all about…”

Listening to these young scions gossiping back and forth, Tianchen had a slight smile on his lips as he simply kept his head down and ate, not expecting that Beifeng Pavilion gathered these well-informed young lords.

“Pfft, what do you guys know?

Only our Young Master Lu has the fastest and most accurate information,” a skinny, short man said, shaking his head.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen looked up and across, where he saw Lu Wang sitting on a sofa, with one leg crossed over the other, radiating confidence.

This guy, Lu Wang, had stood by and watched without saying a word when Ye Tianchen had beaten Luo Lei to a pulp at Heaven and Earth.

Lu Wang’s machinations were much deeper than Luo Lei’s.

“Brother Lu, I heard that you were present when Ye Tianchen thrashed Luo Lei.

Can you tell us about it?” a troublemaker asked Lu Wang with a smile.

Lu Wang glanced at the crowd and replied with a smile, “All I can tell you is that Ye Tianchen, the so-called waste of the Capital City, has risen.

Don’t provoke him lightly.”

“I think Brother Lu’s words are a bit over the top, aren’t they?

Even if Ye Tianchen is incredible, can he really be a match for the Qin family?

You’re not suggesting that the Qin family and the Luo family are on the same level, are you?” someone contested Lu Wang’s statement.

Indeed, many of the hedonistic young masters present sneered upon hearing Lu Wang’s words.

They couldn’t accept that a former prodigal and laughingstock had risen above them.

Who would they mock and bully from now on?

“The Luo family?

Luo Songcheng stormed the Ye family’s old house with great fury, seeking revenge, only to slink away defeated.

That says it all.

As for the Qin family, I’m not sure if Ye Tianchen can compete with them, but I heard that just last night, Ye Tianchen fought Iron Hammer and didn’t lose…” Lu Wang’s father was the chief of the Kyoto Police Department, and although not influential by Kyoto standards, his access to intelligence was always first-rate, essential for maintaining local law and order.

“What?

He fought Iron Hammer and didn’t lose?”

“How is that possible?

Iron Hammer, the leader of the Sky Dragon Team, in charge of the Kyoto Imperial Army, how could Ye Tianchen be a match for him?”

“Absolutely impossible!

Iron Hammer’s strength is nearly on par with the Three Great War Kings of China.

There are hardly any matches for him in all of Kyoto.

You must be bluffing!”

This statement from Lu Wang provoked even more dissatisfaction and disbelief among the crowd.

Iron Hammer, as the head of the Kyoto Imperial Army and the leader of the Sky Dragon Team, was undeniably powerful.

Ye Tianchen, being only twenty and previously considered a prodigal waste, managing to stand against Iron Hammer was too much for people to accept and believe.

While sitting nearby and eating, Ye Tianchen overheard what Lu Wang said.

He also understood why these young masters couldn’t believe he stood a chance against Iron Hammer.

Iron Hammer’s skills were truly formidable, even surpassing Kyoto’s number one assassin, Wuxue.

Were it not for Ye Tianchen’s advancement to the King-level Superpower Realm, allowing him to unleash his body’s full King-level superpower energy and counter Iron Hammer’s trump card, he wouldn’t have been able to fend him off and force him back.

After evaluating the situation, Ye Tianchen estimated his chances of defeating Iron Hammer as fifty percent, despite needing to use the King-level superpower energy and facing a tough battle.

Hence, Ye Tianchen was quite eager to test his strength against the strength of the Three Great War Kings of China – Cang Lang, Yan Long, and another mysterious figure.

These three were revered as the War Kings of China, and though not the topmost experts of China, they were nearly there.

It was something Ye Tianchen looked forward to with anticipation.

“Hmph, Lu Wang, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll immediately break your damn legs.”

At this moment, a very arrogant and boisterous voice rang out, causing everyone to pause.

They heard footsteps coming upstairs and everyone turned to look, eager to find out who dared to speak so brazenly and insult Lu Wang publicly.

Lu Wang was the son of Lu Shengda, chief of the Kyoto Police Department.

Though the Lu family didn’t count for much amid Kyoto’s many powerful families, Lu Shengda being the chief of police was no softie.

There weren’t many who would dare threaten to break Lu Wang’s legs.

“Who the hell is sick of living?

Show yourself…” said Lu Wang, his face turning navy blue with rage.

Even with his deep cunning and patience, he couldn’t endure being publicly humiliated.

Soon, a thin man about 1.75 meters tall, dressed in a designer suit and wearing a Rolex gold watch and puffing on a cigar, walked up.

He was flanked by two burly bodyguards, clearly of a much higher status than the young plutocrats present.

Initially furious, Lu Wang was stunned and sheepishly smiled as he recognized the person, “Young Master Qin, Qin?

How could it be you?

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize it was you, so…”

No one expected that the person, who had suddenly arrived at Beifeng Pavilion, would turn out to be Qin Heng.

The Qin family was a top-tier family in Kyoto.

The old patriarch of the Qin family still held power, a fact that commanded respect.

The power difference between a ruling lord and a lord who had stepped down was vast, otherwise the Ye family wouldn’t have declined to a third-class family after Mr.

Ye stepped down.

Qin Heng sneered, stepped up to Lu Wang, and slapped him across the face, spitting venomously as he berated, “Damn it, who doesn’t know to give way when they see Qin Heng in Kyoto?

Talking against my Qin family, are you tired of living or what?”
