Chapter 517: Chapter 502: Getting Off Work Faster Than Anyone Else

The office first fell into an eerie quiet before Liu Shang seemed to realize he had said something wrong and immediately ran outside, Fang Fei screamed, "Liu Shang, you son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you!"

Then, she charged out after him. People in the office burst into laughter, bending over backwards.

It was already time to leave work, and Ye Chen tidied up his desk a bit. The desk was messy, generally Fang Fei would help him organize, Ye Chen didn’t have a personal assistant, although the company had always wanted to assign one to him, but Ye Chen had refused. For someone like him, who was always running in and out every other day, what did he need a secretary for? Besides, Fang Fei wasn’t happy about Ye Chen getting a secretary either; if in the future, all the work was to be done by the secretary, how could she interact with Ye Chen?

Ye Chen hadn’t left the office when an urgent phone call came in.

"Brother Chen, the Fierce Tiger Gang is here!" Haozi’s first words made Ye Chen’s heart pound fiercely. Shit, after waiting more than a week, I thought the Fierce Tiger Gang had given up on taking these formidable little brothers. Keeping these more than two hundred men costs over a thousand a day, shit, it’s time to knock a sum of money hard from the Fierce Tiger Gang, skin them to the bones.

"Heh heh, they’ve finally come. Wait for me, I’ll be there immediately!" Ye Chen hung up the phone and then dashed downstairs.

As soon as Ye Chen had left, Li Ruo’s people had already arrived.

"Eh, where’s Ye Chen?" Li Ruo was stunned.

"Ah?! Mr. Li..." Chen Qiong quickly stood up and said, "Vice President Ye just left work!"

"This bastard, leaving work faster than anyone else!" Li Ruo snorted lightly, then took Lin Ziwen and went downstairs.

Ye Chen drove hastily towards the Heavenly Reversal Gang. The entrance was already crowded with people. This time, people from the Fierce Tiger Gang had come. Although there were only five of them, those five looked quite horrifying. From these five, one could see the strength of the Fierce Tiger Gang. The five men were all over two meters tall, and each had their chest bared, with tattoos inked on their bodies. The tattoos on their chests made people involuntarily take two steps back.

"Brother Chen is here!" a little brother shouted loudly.

Immediately, the crowd dispersed, creating a path. The betting hall was still as lively as ever, and the once quiet Black Water Security Company was also bustling. The adversaries stood inside Black Water Security Company.

"Big bro!" Da Xia came up to greet him, excitement evident in his gaze; he probably saw his rivals and wanted to fight them.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen took a drag on his cigarette, wearing the clothes Liu Momo had bought for him the day before, then headed towards Black Water Security Company. Inside, the security company was surrounded by people, three layers inside and three outside. Ye Chen walked in, and the five guys inside stood in a line, staring sharply at Ye Chen. They said, "You’re Ye Chen?"

"That’s right," Ye Chen nodded and said, "What’s up? You looking for me?"

"We’re from the Fierce Tiger Gang!" the adversary snorted.

"The Northeast Fierce Tiger Group?" Ye Chen smiled, saying, "Northeastern people are indeed mighty, very good, very good!"

While talking, Ye Chen was clapping his hands. His expression and demeanor left the opposing side baffled, not knowing what to say. The leader of the adversaries said, "You killed one of our Hall Masters and captured over a hundred of our Fierce Tiger Gang warriors. Release them immediately!"

The adversaries obviously wanted to suppress Ye Chen first, to intimidate the people of the Heavenly Reversal Gang with their presence. This time, the Fierce Tiger Gang had thought of several strategies for their campaign southward. Intimidation was just one tactic; if the other side didn’t fall for it, they’d immediately start negotiating. They definitely needed to figure out a way to rescue those elite warriors; as for how to save them and what method to use, they would have to carefully weigh their options and use the smallest price to get them back.

"Hahaha..." Ye Chen suddenly burst out laughing.

The man with the tiger tattoo asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing at your ignorance, at your incompetence!" Ye Chen glared at them harshly.

"Looking for death!" The man with the tiger tattoo was enraged and charged at Ye Chen immediately, his fist raised as if carrying the weight of a thousand pounds, almost breaking the air itself. Da Xia immediately stepped in front of Ye Chen, dropped into a horse stance, and met the punch with his own raised fist.

Crack...

A crisp thud echoed as the two fiercely collided their fists. Both stumbled back a few steps, with Ye Chen stabilizing Da Xia behind him, then gripping his arm and vigorously shaking it. Da Xia hurriedly smiled and said, "Thanks, big brother!"

"What’s there to thank, the other side seems to have some skill!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"No kidding, it looks like they’ve come with bad intentions!" Da Xia said in a cold voice. Ye Chen slapped the back of Da Xia’s head and said, "They obviously came here with bad intentions; did we need you to tell us that?"

"Yes, of course!" Da Xia immediately nodded in agreement.

The tattooed man had retreated much farther than Da Xia, perhaps because he had underestimated his opponent, which made the pain all the more acute; his face turned pale. The man took a deep breath and said, "Impressive skills. I didn’t expect to find such a formidable opponent in a small gang like the Heavenly Reversal Gang. Not bad, not bad, it wasn’t a waste for us brothers to come all the way down south!"

"Cut the crap, you think you guys are so strong?" Ye Chen said with a cold smile. "Not to brag or anything, but any random person we pick from our ranks could beat you hands down!"

Ye Chen’s words were meant to intimidate the opposition, his narrowed eyes showing he was interested.

"Come on then, if you’re so capable, send another one of yours to try!" the leader of the men taunted, curling his finger invitingly.

"Haozi, get up there! Don’t disgrace our Heavenly Reversal Gang!" Ye Chen commanded in almost an ordering tone.

"Yes, Brother Chen!" The not-so-tall Haozi stepped out, almost a head or two shorter than his opponent. The emergence of Haozi, who was barely five feet seven inches tall, drew laughter from the opposition, a stark contrast to Da Xia who stood over six feet three inches. This led the opposition to underestimate him even more. Complacency was their greatest enemy.

Ye Chen, a firm believer that one should never harbor any fear when facing unfamiliar foes—advice he had shared with his eight Hidden Generals—watched as Haozi cautiously eyed his enemy, the man Da Xia had just sent flying with a punch.

Having caught his breath and recovered a significant amount of Primordial Energy, the man said, "I won’t say much, you go first. Let’s see what you’ve got!"

Haozi sported a crafty smile and approached his opponent, then suddenly, his speed surged as if he were a shadow, darting forward. The opponent hesitated, and by the time he reacted, he was already toppling backward.

Underestimating Haozi was far worse than underestimating Da Xia. As Haozi’s shadow reappeared in the air, his legs shot out, almost glued to the chest of the tattooed man. The man’s insides shook from the force of Haozi’s kick.

Splat...

In mid-air, the man spat out a mouthful of blood. Luckily, his comrades immediately rushed to support him; otherwise, a crash against the wall might have shifted his organs enough to kill him. His companions hastily asked, "Boss, are you okay?"

"Shit, this guy is damn good!" Blood dripped from the corner of the man’s mouth as he struggled to his feet and said, "It seems, the Heavenly Reversal Gang is indeed powerful!"

"Never underestimate anyone!" Ye Chen warned, raising a finger and wagging it. The man took a deep breath and said, "Otherwise, you’ll die a miserable death!"

"So, what will it take for you to release our people?!" the man asked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Releasing them is simple!"

Da Xia promptly brought over a chair for Ye Chen, who sat down with his cigarette dangling from his lips, his demeanor as cocky as could be, with a swagger that bordered on arrogance. The opponent, seeing Ye Chen’s lack of courtesy, held his tongue and simply stood there, watching him coldly.

"Alive, it’s five million per person, dead, it’s ten million!" Ye Chen said with a smirk. "Don’t worry, we’ve already done the math for you. It’s all together seven hundred and fifty million. Considering you’ve come a long way to Jianghuai City, we’re giving you mates’ rates—let’s call it an even seven hundred million!"

"Dream on!" The opposition’s face instantly turned livid with rage, and after grinding his teeth for what seemed an eternity, he finally spat out these two words.

"Heh, at least I can still dream, but not you guys!" Ye Chen said with a smirk. "You won’t even have dreams to speak of. I know these hundred-plus people mean a lot to you, and I also know that money is not a problem for you."

"Humph, we wouldn’t give you that kind of money, not to some small-time troublemakers like you!" the man said through clenched teeth.

"You’re mistaken, we are conducting a transaction, a negotiation!" Ye Chen retorted with a cold laugh. "I have something you want, and you need to offer something satisfactory in return. Otherwise, how will you ever get what you need from us?"
