Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Who the Hell Are the Eight Great Families?
“No wonder you’re the Gambling King’s daughter; your moves are really sharp.” Ye Chenfeng mumbled to himself, detecting a hint of Siberian training in Ximen Jiawei’s style.
“From now on, if anyone bullies you, I’ll stand up for you!” Ximen Jiawei, emboldened by alcohol, declared.
He was visibly awkward, with curious looks cast upon him from all around.
Those glances made him feel like a kept man; the embarrassment was indescribable.
After some inquiries, Ye Chenfeng and the others learned the whole story.
The girl was a university student working part-time here at night.
A rich heir took a liking to her and tried to force her to accompany him for drinks.
Just then, Ximen Leiting witnessed the scene and rescued the girl, leading to the confrontation.
“Big brother, you guys should leave quickly. You’ve offended a powerful Capital City figure, and it’s dangerous for you if you stay.” The girl advised.
Ximen Leiting looked at the girl and asked, “What about you?”
“At worst, I’ll just go and drink with them. You all should go quickly; I’m already very grateful for what you’ve done.” The girl responded urgently.
The girl’s behavior made Ye Chenfeng nod to himself approvingly; so many people nowadays would react coldly even if you helped them.
But Ximen Leiting was resolute: “Don’t worry, since I’m involved, I’ll ensure your safety tonight. Besides, I have Senior Brother Guo and Brother Ye here; you should actually be worried about them.” He chuckled.
Ximen Leiting’s confident demeanor reassured the girl considerably.
She’d worked at the bar for a while and encountered all sorts of people. Seeing Ye Chenfeng and the others dressed so well, she knew they weren’t ordinary people.
“Look at how my little brother charms girls. What a heroic figure!” Ximen Jiawei remarked discontentedly.
Guo Feng looked aggrieved and helplessly shook his head, “I want to be heroic too, but I need the opportunity!”
While they were talking, a stir arose from the other side of the bar as a dozen people streamed in.
This group was menacing, and the onlookers automatically made way.
“Were you the ones who fought earlier?”
Since Ye Chenfeng and the others were standing conspicuously, these men surrounded them.
Ximen Leiting boldly replied, “Yeah, we were the ones who did it. So what?”
Feeling the girl next to him trembling, Ximen Leiting clutched her small hand.
“Even in this moment, still hitting on a girl, truly my little brother!” Ximen Jiawei’s eyes sparkled.
The initial dozen were just the prelude; the real big shots were arriving slowly from behind.
Escorted by seven or eight people, two young, opulently dressed heirs appeared.
“Yao Shao! Young Master Ryukawa!”
The dozen men immediately called out in unison upon seeing the two scions.
“So it’s Yao Hongyu from the Eight Great Families’ Yao Family! He’s infamous for being ruthless, no wonder they’re so brazen!”
“And the other is Ryukawa Xiong from the Japanese Ryukawa Family; his father is Ryukawa Kumo, a major e-sports mogul in Asia.”
“Wow, facing such formidable heirs, daring to provoke them means we’re in for a show!”
The crowd was simultaneously awed by Yao Hongyu and Ryukawa Xiong’s identities and anxious for Ye Chenfeng and his group.
“Did you attack my men?”
Yao Hongyu asked, his demeanor consistently calm and collected.
“Yeah, so what?” Ximen Leiting’s stance also firmed up, fearlessly staring back at Yao Hongyu.
Yao Hongyu chuckled coldly, “You’re quite bold, must be from out of town?”
“Yes!” Ximen Leiting nodded.
“Just last night, the son of a wealthy Nanyang magnate made trouble, and I broke his leg and tossed him in the river. Guess what? His father came by to apologize to me later.” Yao Hongyu said sinisterly.
The implication was clear: in the Capital, local forces reign supreme. If you’re from elsewhere and dare act out, you’ll get beaten, and your father will have to apologize to me.
Ximen Leiting sneered, “Rest assured, my father won’t apologize.”
“Oh? Why not?” Yao Hongyu curiously inquired.
“Because the one getting beaten will be you!” Ximen Leiting stated clearly.
Instead of getting angry, Yao Hongyu laughed, “Ha, good, you’re even more brazen than last night’s Nanyang heir. I admire you.”
But in the next second, Yao Hongyu’s expression darkened suddenly and he said coldly, “Then you few shouldn’t expect to leave here unharmed!”
Suddenly, Ryukawa Xiong’s gaze became fixated on Ximen Jiawei, a malicious grin creeping onto his lips.
He whispered something to Yao Hongyu, who then spoke to Ye Chenfeng and the others, “Mr. Ryukawa says he’s in a good mood and wants to avoid conflict, so you can leave safely. But there’s one condition…” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel★fire.net
Seeing Ximen Leiting and the others join in listening, Yao Hongyu continued, “Mr. Ryukawa says as long as these two ladies accompany him for the night, he’ll let all of you go.”
Before Yao Hongyu could finish, Guo Feng cursed angrily.
For someone typically refined to show such a fierce expression and curse, his fury was evident.
“Brother Guo, you go have a drink, leave everything here to me!” Ye Chenfeng held back the enraged Guo Feng.
Approaching Yao Hongyu, Ye Chenfeng asked, “Do you know what you remind me of?”
“What?” Yao Hongyu was taken aback.
“A traitor!” Ye Chenfeng calmly said.
“What?” Yao Hongyu was on the verge of exploding.
Ye Chenfeng laughed, “Following behind a Japanese like a lapdog, if not a traitor, then what?”
“Kid, you’re even more audacious; this is a death wish!” Yao Hongyu seethed.
Ye Chenfeng stared at him, “If your father or grandfather were here, they’d never dare speak to me !”
“Ha… How laughable, you think my father and grandfather wouldn’t dare talk to you? Who do you think you are? Maybe you don’t know about the Eight Great Families since you’re from out of town…”
Yao Hongyu hadn’t finished before Ye Chenfeng cut him off, “I know the Eight Great Families.”
“Ha, even better! Let me tell you, I’m Yao Hongyu from the Yao Family of the Eight Great Families.” Yao Hongyu exuded arrogance.
With fearless speech, Ye Chenfeng’s next words made Yao Hongyu bristle with rage, “But the Eight Great Families? They’re nothing!”
That’s Ye Chenfeng’s honest opinion. He’s stood up to the Four Great Royal Families, so what are the Eight Great Families to him?
“No way! That’s outrageously bold!”
“Bro, how many years has it been since someone dared to talk like that?”
“He’s definitely the first to dare challenge the Eight Great Families!”
