The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 627: Chapter 608:

Superpower users were not invincible, otherwise, the world would have been shattered. Every superpower user had to pay the price of their own energy when using their corresponding powers. Moreover, these so-called superpowers had varying degrees of strength, with most users possessing mediocre abilities that were weakly destructive. To use them was pretty much in vain. Only a minority of people had superpowers that were exceptionally strong, like Ye Chen’s hidden ability.

"Yeah," Ms. Yan laughed and said, "Sometimes, I really regret being a superpower user. I’d rather be an ordinary person, living an ordinary life!"

"Mm-hmm," Ye Chen nodded, saying, "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility one bears."

"Then," Ms. Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Ye Chen’s deep eyes and hesitated for a moment. Ye Chen smiled and asked, "Sister, what do you want to ask?"

Haha... I... I just wanted to ask if you really are the Clan Leader of the Rothschild family?" Ms. Yan asked seriously.

"This... Yes!" Ye Chen did not hide it and then took out the seal of the Clan Leader of the Rothschild family from his body, laughing, "A small seal, yet it commands an entire family. That’s what power is!"

"Do you... feel happy?" Ms. Yan asked with a smile.

"What does happiness or unhappiness matter?" Ye Chen replied casually with a smile, "As an heir, since I have inherited the position of Clan Leader, I must shoulder the mission to protect the Rothschild family!"

"That’s also true!" Ms. Yan paused lightly and suddenly asked, "But what if one day, you and I become enemies? What would you do?"

"I don’t believe that day will come!" Ye Chen chuckled, "The Rothschild family will always be a good friend to the Chinese people. Therefore, it’s even less likely for us to oppose the Chinese Dragon Group!"

"But what if that day comes?" Ms. Yan lightly bit her red lips, saying, "Someday, it might not be the Rothschilds and the Dragon Group, it might be something else that puts us in opposing positions. What then?"

"I won’t allow that day to happen!" Ye Chen suddenly held Ms. Yan in his arms and said, "Even if I die, I absolutely cannot let you get hurt, Sister!"

"Hee hee, you’re the best, little brother Chen!" Ms. Yan giggled and gave Ye Chen a gentle kiss on his face. The two embraced tightly, but Ms. Yan’s face betrayed a sense of indifference; sadness, grievance, and a conflicting mood made her feel distant.

Ye Chen, holding Ms. Yan, didn’t see the conflicting expressions on her face.

...

Time flew, and it was already February, four months since they had agreed on a three-month timeline. News from the Northwest arrived that the Gray Wolf Gang had been thoroughly eradicated, with some remnants having fled to Xinjiang. In the Southwest, Yao Yue had helped to eliminate all the Thirteen Eagles in an instant. Among the ranks of the Thirteen Eagles, they were surprised to discover personnel from the Church Court, which was a shock as Ye Chen and Yao Yue hadn’t expected Church Court forces to have started infiltrating China.

After all, China represented a huge market. Taking over China was like securing a large territory where they could establish a significant presence and recruit more forces. Therefore, seizing control over China was a crucial goal for the Church Court in Asia.

Feng Zhixiao swept through Shanghai Beach like a brisk autumn breeze, completely establishing the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s dominance there. As for Liu the Tyrant, he had already completely eradicated local gangs in Macau three months before with methods that were merciless and bloody, striking fear in the hearts of the Macau community and turning the name of the Heavenly Reversal Gang into a byword for terror.

Whether in business circles or the political arena, almost everyone felt threatened.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Reversal Gang was supported by the Mainland, so many people dared not interfere. This allowed the Heavenly Reversal Gang to further conquer the country, extending their influence from Qinghai and Yunnan in the west, to Heilong River in the north, Macau in the south, and Shanghai in the east. From then on, the Heavenly Reversal Gang had become the largest gang in China. It was now stepping beyond the nation’s borders and venturing into the world.

As for Da Xia and Haozi, the situation in Taiwan was complex. After all, Taiwan was home to the Bamboo Union Gang, and establishing a foothold under their tight control would be challenging. Nevertheless, Haozi and Da Xia managed to survive within the gaps and set up the first Black Water Security Company branch there, creating a foothold for the Heavenly Reversal Gang in Taiwan. However, the Bamboo Union Gang had already taken notice of the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s presence and exerted immense pressure on the Black Water Security Company.

February 2nd.

All Eight Hidden Generals returned to their home country, converging in Shanghai, at the Black Water Security Company situated on the west end of Nanjing Road. A massive building loomed large, with two sharp-eyed, spirited young men in Black Water Security Company uniforms standing squarely at the entrance. When they saw big shots like Ye Chen arrive, they respectfully passed by, placing their right fists over their hearts.

"Zhi Xiao, not bad at all, these little brothers are all new, right?" Ye Chen asked with a chuckle.

"Of course!" Feng Zhixiao’s hair had grown longer and more flowing. The lad was utterly smug, having even dyed a tuft of his hair blonde, occasionally flipping his hair back and saying, "Lately, I’ve found myself getting quite a bit more handsome. Attracted quite a few little brothers to join the fold!"

"Hahaha..." Liu the Tyrant, Li Tieniu, and the others all laughed aloud.

"Shameless!" Ye Chen burst into laughter unexpectedly as everyone walked straight into the building. The lobby on the first floor was nicely decorated, complete with a reception desk and various business representatives. The Black Water Security Company’s mission was security services, as well as bodyguard services. These two modules were also the most significant sources of income for the Black Water Security Company.

As the Heavenly Reversal Gang developed, the reputation of Black Water Security Company grew louder and louder. Many large and medium-sized enterprises were also throwing olive branches to the Black Water Security Company. They signed contracts for outsourcing security services with Black Water Security Company. In Asia, Black Water Security Company had also begun to make a name for itself.

Taking the elevator directly to the third floor, we entered a huge training room, specially designated for the little brothers of the Heavenly Reversal Gang to frolic around. It housed a vast array of training equipment, most likely larger than half a football field with all sorts of gear you could think of. In the farthest corner were rows of punching bags, as well as over a dozen treadmills...

In the center was a combat ring specifically for sparring and honing skills. Strength was crucial to earning the respect of your peers.

On the third floor, a large number of key members from the Heavenly Reversal Gang were gathered, standing ramrod straight in anticipation of Brother Chen and the Eight Hidden Generals’ arrival. The Heavenly Reversal Gang had over a thousand little brothers just in Shanghai, and less than two hundred of them were brought over from Jianghuai City by Feng Zhixiao. Therefore, most people didn’t recognize Ye Chen, but they all understood in their hearts that within the Heavenly Reversal Gang, Ye Chen was the boss, commanding the powerful Eight Hidden Generals.

This time, having the opportunity to see Ye Chen, everyone was very excited. Standing shoulder to shoulder, as Ye Chen and Feng Zhixiao entered, they all shouted fervently, "Brother Chen is mighty, Brother Chen is mighty!"

The sound reverberated thunderously, particularly in this compact space, which made the voices all the more overwhelming. Each person unleashed their innermost loyal cries for Ye Chen.

"Good!" Ye Chen nodded, saying, "Everyone has worked hard!"

"Brother Chen has worked hard!" everyone replied in turn.

Ye Chen, along with the Eight Hidden Generals, leaped onto the combat ring, and then, looking out at the six hundred or so people filling the hall, he smiled and said, "Gentlemen, the Heavenly Reversal Gang is now the largest gang in China and is standing on the world stage alongside gangs like the Bamboo Union Gang, the Yakuza... But we must still strive hard. They have a hundred years of history, which we do not fear because we are a powerful new force!"

"Roar, roar, roar..." The crowd shouted excitedly.

Ye Chen gestured for silence, and the room immediately fell quiet as he continued, "However, we must not become overly proud. We need to work hard, to press forward, and to showcase the traditional virtues of us Chinese people. To be humble, to yield, but absolutely not at the expense of our dignity. The road ahead is still long, and our goal is to eradicate the Yakuza, wipe out the Bamboo Union Gang. To protect every friend and every family member around us."

"Eradicate the Yakuza, destroy the Bamboo Union Gang!" everyone shouted in unison. This was the future path of the Heavenly Reversal Gang and also its future goal.

Ye Chen looked on at these lads with satisfaction. From their momentum and the grandeur exploding from them, he felt deeply that the future of the Heavenly Reversal Gang was undoubtedly promising. Ye Chen smiled and said, "Brothers, while the spirit of the New Year still lingers, today, we shall drink to our hearts’ content!"

"Roar, roar, roar..."

Everyone was full of excitement. When it came to drinking, it was one of the favorite pastimes of the brothers in the underworld. Being able to drink freely and eat heartily was a true blessing, especially when in the company of many. Ye Chen and the Eight Hidden Generals seated themselves at one table.

The others took their seats as well. The Heavenly Reversal Gang’s achievements were inseparable from the Eight Hidden Generals. They had made significant contributions to the gang, and by comparison, Ye Chen’s own accomplishments seemed negligible. If it weren’t for the bravery of Feng Zhixiao and the others on the frontlines, there would likely be no Heavenly Reversal Gang as it was today.

"Zhi Xiao, let’s toast!" Ye Chen suddenly stood up, causing Feng Zhixiao to startle and stand up quickly, then lifting his cup, he asked with confusion, "Brother Chen, what’s going on?"

"On behalf of the brothers in the Heaven-defying Class, I thank you!" Ye Chen took a deep breath.

"Ah? Brother Chen, this..." Suddenly feeling the pressure, it was a big deal to receive Brother Chen’s gratitude. Taking a deep breath, Feng Zhixiao hurriedly raised his cup with both hands, angling the rim of the cup very low as he said excitedly, "Brother Chen, this isn’t just my credit, this is the credit of everyone, so I really can’t take all the credit!"

"Hehe, it’s fine, let’s drink!" Ye Chen immediately tilted his head back and drank.

Then, Ye Chen called out, "Da Xia, Haozi, raise your cups!"

One by one, Ye Chen paid his respects with a drink, going around until he had toasted all eight people, then he said, "From now on, the Eight Hidden Generals of the Heavenly Reversal Gang are united as one. You are the greatest contributors to the Heavenly Reversal Gang, the most indispensable. So, I want to thank you, you’ve done so much for the Heavenly Reversal Gang!"

"Brother Chen, this is what we should do!" The Eight Hidden Generals stood up in unison, each with a solemn expression on their face.

"Please, have a seat," Ye Chen said with emotion, "I hope that after achieving such great success, you will remain humble and level-headed. The Heavenly Reversal Gang still has a long road ahead, with many things to do and many difficulties to overcome. The Yakuza are watching us like a hawk, and the Bamboo Union Gang just as eager to crush us! Therefore, we must be vigilant against any hostile forces."

"You’re right, Brother Chen!" Feng Zhixiao nodded, saying, "I’ve already felt the infiltration of the Yakuza here in Big Shanghai. They want to fight their way back. Humph, as long as I’m here for one day, Feng Zhixiao, they’ll never succeed!"
