Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Time to Get Rich
"Are they from the Black Dragon Commerce Association?"
When someone recognized the distinct attire of the martial artists, they exclaimed in shock.
"The Black Dragon Commerce Association?"
Another person’s gaze settled on the leading woman and they said in surprise, "Rumor has it that the new chairwoman of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, Zhu Yeqing, is a stunning beauty in her thirties. Could it be that this woman is Zhu Yeqing?"
"It must be her. Otherwise, how could she bring the number one powerhouse of the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association, Golden Saber Grandmaster He Jinzhou?"
"What? Golden Saber Grandmaster He Jinzhou is here too?"
"That’s the one behind Zhu Yeqing, holding a golden saber!"
Because Ye Qingwan had only recently taken over as the chairwoman of the East Sea Black Dragon Business Association and seldom made public appearances, many were seeing her for the first time.
When Chen Kun saw Ye Qingwan, his face turned ashen.
The Huang Family barely qualifies as a second-tier top family in the provincial city, and it had long been infiltrated by the Chen Family, which essentially meant the Chen Family had control over most of the Huang Family.
If it were just the Huang Family, they wouldn’t be much of a threat, but what Chen Kun hadn’t anticipated was that Zhu Yeqing, the esteemed chairwoman of the mighty East Sea Black Dragon Commerce Association, would come for Qin Chuan’s sake.
The Black Dragon Commerce Association is one of the Yihang Yihui Four Families in the provincial city, ranking above the four families, which speaks volumes of its power.
And the Chen family was merely a new entrant among the four, nowhere close to matching the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
"Chairwoman Ye, how did you come? I apologize for not welcoming you sooner! I apologize for not welcoming you sooner, haha!"
Chen Baiqiang, who sat at the main table, was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure. He hastily got up and moved forward with a face full of smiles.
In front of this ruthless beauty, he really dared not put on any airs.
Ye Qingwan did not reach out to shake the hand that Chen Baiqiang had eagerly extended; instead, she said coldly, "Patriarch Chen is about to make a move on my friend, Ye Qingwan, what do you think brings me here?"
Chen Baiqiang replied with a smile, "A misunderstanding! It’s definitely a misunderstanding! A friend of Chairwoman Ye is a friend of mine, Chen Baiqiang, how could I dare to make a move?"
He then swept his gaze over the Chen Family martialists surrounding Qin Chuan and scolded, "All of you, scram!"
Those Chen Family martialists then quickly backed away.
Chen Kun almost crushed his teeth in anger, his eyes bloodshot with fury, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad..."
"Slap!"
No sooner had he started to speak than Chen Baiqiang slapped him across the face, "Shut your mouth for me!"
Despite his displeasure, Chen Kun dared not defy Chen Baiqiang and could only close his mouth, his face full of resentment.
Chen Baiqiang smiled and said to Ye Qingwan, "It is an honor for our Chen Family to have Chairwoman Ye visit us in person. Please, Chairwoman Ye, take a seat and join my son’s engagement banquet."
As soon as he said this, the whole room was in shock!
Ye Qingwan had already made it clear that Qin Chuan was her friend, yet Chen Baiqiang still dared invite her to Chen Kun’s engagement banquet—was he mad?
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingwan’s eyes as she narrowed them, staring at Chen Baiqiang.
Chen Baiqiang, however, still wore his usual smiling face as if he was completely unaware of saying anything wrong.
Within the vast banquet hall, a dead silence fell, nobody daring to breathe too loud, all eyes fixed on Ye Qingwan, everyone eager to see what sparks would fly between these two top figures of the provincial city.
Xiao Mengyi’s face was full of nervousness, her hands clinging tightly to Qin Chuan’s arm.
Xiao Tianquan and Xiao Qing both wore solemn expressions. Whether it was the Chen family or the Black Dragon Commerce Association, neither were entities the Xiao Family could afford to provoke.
Huang Jin’s face was alight with excitement. He had thought he was the only one standing on Qin Chuan’s side; he hadn’t expected even the chairwoman of the Black Dragon Commerce Association to arrive, and moreover, as Qin Chuan’s friend.
But that wasn’t the main point; the point was that he knew very well that Qin Chuan himself was an Energizing Skill Grandmaster.
Now with Ye Qingwan here, who could possibly trouble Qin Chuan?
Ye Qingwan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Chen Baiqiang and said, "Inviting me to your son’s engagement banquet, are you sure?"
Chen Baiqiang was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course, why would there be any problem?"
He seemed genuinely unaware, even Chen Kun was somewhat confused at this moment.
"Hmph!"
Ye Qingwan suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, "I’m not interested in the Chen Family’s engagement banquet!"
After speaking, she turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Mr. Qin, let’s go."
Qin Chuan nodded, took Xiao Mengyi’s hand, and was about to leave with Ye Qingwan.
Yet just as the group was about to reach the entrance of the banquet hall, a troop of armed martial artists burst in aggressively.
A young man dressed in combat attire strode in.
The man appeared to be around thirty-five years old, exuding a strong scent of blood, and his aura had actually reached the Dark Energy Late Stage Realm.
And next to him was another person, just over forty, but shockingly, his aura was even more terrifying, having reached the Dark Energy Peak Realm.
It is known that throughout the entire East Sea Province, there was not a single warrior in his forties who had reached the Dark Energy Peak Realm.
This caliber of martial artist was only found in the top families in the provincial capital, just like the slightly less than top-tier Huang Family, whose strongest member was also but a Dark Energy Peak Realm martial artist.
But now, here was a man in his early forties, already a Dark Energy Peak Realm fighter.
Even Ye Qingwan was looking extremely solemn at this moment; though she was unclear about the man’s identity, she understood that someone of this stature did not have a simple background.
"Brother!"
As everyone was shocked by the strength of these two young men, Chen Kun suddenly cried out in great joy, his face flushed with excitement, as he yelled out to the martial artist in the Dark Energy Late Stage Realm.
"Haha, Brother didn’t arrive too late, did he?"
The man beamed with a radiant smile, laughing heartily as he stepped forward and hugged Chen Kun.
"Haha, excellent, excellent!"
Chen Baiqiang was equally thrilled, repeating the word ’excellent’ several times to express his current mood.
"So it’s Young Master Chen, Chen Wang!"
"I had heard that Young Master Chen had been taken under the wing of a great figure from Yandu since he was young and brought to the Battle Domain. It seems it’s true."
"It looks like Chen Wang is doing well, having already become a Dark Energy Late Stage martial artist. If he’s this powerful, how strong must be the person, who took him to the Battle Domain then?"
"The Chen Family, they’re about to make it big!"
...
All the big shots in the provincial city were discussing in whispers, their expressions changing, thinking about how to further their relationship with the Chen Family.
Before this, they might have looked down on the Chen Family as a newly risen top family in the provincial city, but now, no one dared to underestimate the Chen Family anymore.
A thirty-five-year-old Dark Energy Late Stage Realm fighter who could also command a squad of armed troops was definitely not ordinary.
"Brother Lei, this is my father Chen Baiqiang, also the current head of the Chen Family, this is my mother Ouyang Ying, and this is the little brother I told you about who liked to follow me around since we were kids, Chen Kun."
Chen Wang introduced his family to the martial artist who had arrived with him, then addressed his family, "Dad, Mom, little brother, let me introduce you. This is my fifth senior brother, Lei Ting, soon to take up the position of Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain."
Upon hearing his words, every one present was stunned; this man, who looked just over forty, was going to be the Deputy Commander of the East Sea Battle Domain.
The Chen Family, this time they were truly going to strike it rich!
