Chapter 618: Chapter 618

At this moment, Black Brother stood by, feeling a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

This guy actually called Pei Lai "Little Pei," and Pei Lai stood ramrod straight in front of Lin Chen like a junior, a sensation that almost made Black Brother's scalp explode.

It was well known that Pei Lai was prideful. When had he ever behaved in front of others? What kind of big shot was this young man to command such respect from Pei Lai?

The Pei family was undeniably a dominant force in Manchester, and Pei Lai, as the future heir of the Pei family, could shake the city with a mere stamp of his foot. Yet, before such a powerful figure, this young man displayed an incredible aura.

Black Brother managed a sickly smile and said, "Boss, do you know this Mr. Lin?"

At this time, Black Brother anxiously looked at Pei Lai, his cold sweat flowing; he had become the top man in West City largely due to the Pei family's support. Everything he had came from Pei Lai, and if he offended Pei Lai because of Lin Chen, his demise or replacement was merely a matter of minutes.

Pei Lai glanced at Black Brother and said, "This is my elder brother, and also my benefactor, Little Black, this is Lin Chen, Brother Lin I've told you about."

Black Brother swallowed hard, nearly bursting into tears.

At this moment, his hair stood on end; Lin Chen's name had been buzzing in Manchester, and he had heard of it.

He brought down the Manchester Police Station's chief, beat the gang leader of East City, Ba Fei, almost bankrupt, and even killed the Thai boxing king of Thailand, Hasim, with one punch in the ring.

Black Brother never dreamed that the seemingly insignificant student he had dismissed was such an impressive figure.

Thinking that, had Pei Lai arrived even a few seconds later, and had he given the order to attack, led Black Brother to sweat profusely.

"Damn it, didn't I check the calendar before leaving today? How did I manage to offend such a formidable figure?"

Pei Lai looked at the thugs around holding machetes, his expression suddenly turning cold: "Black Child, what exactly were you doing? Were you trying to lay a hand on my elder brother?"

"I, I..." Black Child's face turned pale, his heart filled with misery.

"Little Black, you've really disappointed me. You should know that I can make you sit in this position as the boss, but I can also turn you into a piece of rotting meat in a garbage heap," Pei Lai said coldly.

Thump, Black Brother immediately knelt on the ground.

"Master Lai, I was wrong, I truly didn't know he was Mr. Lin, your elder brother, otherwise I wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Lin even if it killed me..."

As he spoke, he crawled over to Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, I was wrong, I failed to recognize Mount Tai, and I'll kowtow to you."

Black Brother, void of any dignity he had earlier as a boss, struck his head against the ground, leaving a trace of blood on the surface.

Seeing this scene, Matthew and others were dumbfounded, staring at Lin Chen in utter shock. Just moments ago, they had mocked Lin Chen, but now the boss of West City was kneeling before Lin Chen, his head bleeding. Recalling their actions just moments earlier, they shivered uncontrollably.

Lin Chen looked at Black Child kneeling on the ground, his head now bloody, and shook his head in resignation. They didn't have any deep grudges, and after all, Black Child was Pei Lai's man. If Lin Chen pressed further, it would only show that he was small-minded.

"Alright, since you realize your mistake, for Little Pei's sake, I will spare you. Get up," Lin Chen said lightly.

"Yes, Mr. Lin," Black Child said joyfully upon receiving Lin Chen's forgiveness.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, From now on, if the boss has any orders for me, just say the word. My life is in your hands," Heizi said gratefully as he stood up.

Lin Chen had just saved his life. Given the respect Mr. Pei Lai showed towards Lin Chen, Pei Lai would have definitely killed him without hesitation if Lin Chen had asked him to die just now. Therefore, Heizi was tearfully grateful to Lin Chen at the moment.

Pei Lai snorted coldly, "This time, Mr. Lin has shown great generosity. If I find out that you dare to disrespect Mr. Lin in the future, you know what the consequences will be."

Heizi nodded hurriedly, "I understand, Young Master Pei Lai, I won't dare to do it again."

"Alright, take your men and go downstairs. Take good care of these young friends," Pei Lai said with another cold snort.

Heizi's demeanor had completely changed now, he cheerfully said to An Xiaodi's classmates, "This way, please, gentlemen. The private room you were in earlier was too lowly. Please come to this Dragon Rise Room!"

Hearing Heizi's words, expressions of shock appeared on everyone's faces.

The Dragon Rise Room was the most luxurious service in Entertainment City, heard that the minimum spending there was in the hundreds of thousands.

At this moment, Matthew and the others finally understood what being a frog in a well meant, realizing how foolish their behavior had been.

Especially Matthew, who had been pretending to be tough with Lin Chen earlier and had only now realized that Lin Chen was indeed the most formidable person.

All the people had left the room, and a smile appeared on Pei Lai's face.

"Mr. Lin, I was actually looking for you. Recently, there has been a family emergency, and I hope you can help me. As long as you can help me, I promise that the word 'drugs' will never appear in my business again," Pei Lai said anxiously.

Upon hearing Pei Lai's words, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Your family has had an emergency?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Pei Lai nodded and said gravely, "Recently my father suddenly decided to withdraw from the company's operations and divide his properties into three parts."

"Oh, is that so? What are your thoughts on this?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"I have always felt that this decision was a mistake, and although I strongly opposed it, I could not stop it," Pei Lai sighed.

"You are worried that the three of you brothers will not be united," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Pei Lai nodded, "The three of us... The eldest is arrogant and certainly won't be satisfied with just a portion of the territory, the second brother is cunning and equally ambitious. My father's decision might destroy the Pei Lai family."

"Oh, that's a family dispute, it doesn't really involve me," Lin Chen said lightly.

Pei Lai said earnestly, "Whether it's the eldest brother or the second who takes control of the Pei Lai family, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for East City and even the entire country. I just hope that if he ever makes a move against my father in the future, you could lend him a hand, at the very least to save his life."

Lin Chen was surprised that at this moment Pei Lai was concerned about his father's safety rather than his own. Lin Chen admired Pei Lai's sense of filial piety.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Alright, if it's within my capability, I will help your father."

Pei Lai stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Chen, "Thank you, Mr. Lin. I have already ordered my men to cut off the drug trade with China, and I can assure you that the Pei Lai family will no longer touch China's illicit business."

As they were talking, Heizi suddenly burst in, "Lin, Mr. Lin, it's bad, that girl who was with you has suddenly fainted!"
