Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 257: Chapter 256: [Banknote]

Investigating the incident where he was framed had always lingered in Ye Tianchen’s mind. It was considered his greatest shame after his rebirth. Damn it, to be framed by someone and not even know, after so many years, the culprit who framed him and Liu Rumei was probably laughing to death many times over. Most crucially, Ye Tianchen felt that he and Liu Rumei were not merely personal targets, but the victims of a grand conspiracy aimed against both the Ye family and the Liu family.

Ye Tianchen knew his immediate priority, with the aggressive and ruthless assault from the Xuanyuan family, was to eliminate the Xuanyuan family. However, he felt that a force had been watching him, or to be precise, the Ye family. Once he left Capital City, the Ye family might face great danger. Therefore, his trip this time to Heaven and Earth, even if he could not immediately resolve the issue of being framed, would serve to ”beat the grass to startle the snake” and buy some time for him to eliminate the Xuanyuan family in Sichuan Province; that was Ye Tianchen’s real intention.

Another reason was that Wuxue had not yet returned, and Ye Tianchen did not know the status of the force being assembled. Although Wuxue, Hu Long, Lin Duan, and Bao Tianglong were all absolute masters, the upcoming expedition to Sichuan Province to eliminate the Xuanyuan family would be extremely fierce. Since he was going to Sichuan Province, he intended to eradicate the Xuanyuan family completely. Hesitation was not in Ye Tianchen’s nature. Although the Xuanyuan family was a secretive major family, the exact strength of their hidden power was unknown to Ye Tianchen. However, judging by the master who could condense tremendous energy into an envelope, this person was truly worthy of battling him.

According to the black-clothed assassin, the foremost warrior of the Xuanyuan family was not only highly skilled and ruthless but also an expert of unfathomable strength. Ye Tianchen was very cautious; therefore, he wanted to wait until his own force was larger before he took his followers to thoroughly eliminate the Xuanyuan family in Sichuan Province.

Ye Tianchen parked his motorcycle outside Heaven and Earth, smiling as he looked at the most famous entertainment club in Mainland China. He used to be a regular here as a member of the Young Master Party, though just a minor character. After spying on Liu Rumei bathing and being severely humiliated, Ye Tianchen had left the Young Master Party to join the army. He had not contacted the Young Master Party since returning. This time, he was here to find Bai Wu, the leader of the Young Master Party who, like him, was once a frivolous young master from a Third-class Family but had now become a major figure in the Young Master Party. It must be said, Bai Wu had hidden his capabilities deeply and climbed ranks quickly.

”Sir, you can’t go in. May I ask if you are a VIP member here?” a guard, neither warm nor hostile, asked outside the door.

”Oh? And what makes you think I’m not?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”Because we have no record of you here, proving it’s your first time at Heaven and Earth. We can’t just let you in like this!” another guard retorted.

It seemed Heaven and Earth was truly not a place just anyone could enter; it was filled with influential and powerful individuals. Not just anyone could enter, as it was a high-class club intended for the wealthy and powerful. The guards here were not just any security guards but were well-trained and skilled, something Ye Tianchen could tell.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen also noticed a facial recognition device rotating at the entrance of Heaven and Earth. It seemed the guards stopped him because the device did not recognize him from any past visits. When he had stormed in and beaten Luo Lei violently that day, Ye Tianchen had just barged in, but now he preferred a more stealthy approach, not wanting to spook the people from the Young Master Party, hoping to give them an unexpected surprise.

”Well then, let’s do this – I’ll register for a VIP membership now and come to hang out in the future!”

As he spoke, Ye Tianchen pulled out a Gold Card and handed it to the door guard. No joke, as the chairman of the Sea King Group with a net worth in the billions, Heaven and Earth was definitely a place he could afford to frequent.

As the guards saw the Gold Card that Ye Tianchen handed over, they were still in shock, probably not expecting such an ordinarily-dressed Ye Tianchen to possess a Gold Card from China’s most significant bank, especially one that even had the letters ”VIP” on it, which was very impressive. A fool could see that this guy was loaded, possibly horrifyingly so.

Before the guards could recover, a woman who seemed to be the madame, around thirty years old, hurried out from the main entrance, smiling broadly, ”Is this your first time here, young man? From out of town? Sorry about these two, they don’t know better. Don’t be upset, come with me, and just let me know what you want to do!”

Facing the enthusiastic madame, Ye Tianchen didn’t speak but merely smiled and nodded, following her into Heaven and Earth. Holding a Gold Card, he was warmly welcomed by countless people. At the front desk, Ye Tianchen registered for a three-year VIP membership at Heaven and Earth. As for how much it cost, he didn’t know – probably tens of millions. It was just a VIP card, but the privileges that came with it, such as choosing any of the pretty ladies, the best private rooms at will, and participating in periodic events like the Russian Roulette, were thrilling indeed.

”Mr. Ye, I suggest you might want to draw some cash!” the enthusiastic madame said with a smile.

”Why?” Ye Tianchen asked casually.

”Because there might be pretty girls greeting you along the way, and if you find them appealing, you could give them a tip. It’s tough for everyone!”

”Alright then, swipe a million for me, and remember to bag it up!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

These words shocked the nearby madam. It wasn’t that spending a million in Heaven and Earth was a big deal—here, everyone was wealthy and influential, and money was just paper. But a guest who had just signed up for a VIP card worth tens of millions and then tipped a million in cash was almost, if not entirely, unique.

”Mr. Ye, here is your money, take care!”

A bag containing one million in cash was handed to Ye Tianchen. To him, money was just a concept, merely a means of currency used in everyday life.

”Thank you!”

Ye Tianchen thanked them with a smile and then casually slung the bag of money over his shoulder and strode into Heaven and Earth. He was headed not to play on the first floor but to the third floor to meet the Young Master Party and, ideally, to find Bai Wu and clarify some past incidents.

”Handsome, care for a game?” a beautiful woman holding a wine glass approached Ye Tianchen.

”No fun, you’re not fun!” Ye Tianchen said with a cheeky smile.

”Sir, would you like to talk about something personal?” a woman with explosive breasts asked with a smile.

”No, your boobs are too fake!” Ye Tianchen shook his head.

”Wanna hook up?” a man asked directly.

”Oh, I have a very normal sexual orientation,” Ye Tianchen shrugged.

Being in this place, if you kept a cold and deathly appearance, you’d quickly become suspicious or even tracked. Ye Tianchen wasn’t afraid of these things, but he preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble as he was someone who disliked hassle.

The men and women who approached Ye Tianchen along the way were just the lowest level employees of Heaven and Earth, offering various services. If you liked them, it was a fine way to spend money, though many might not think of this as fitting for China’s most desirable entertainment venue, more like a brothel. But that would be a mistake, for then you would never encounter the top beauties and experience the true charm of Heaven and Earth; these low-level workers were only there to satisfy basic needs, not something ordinary people could typically afford.

Ye Tianchen, carrying his money bag, walked inside, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth, embodying the most debauched and playful character. No one could imagine that such a tyrannically powerful man, comparable to the Death God, when playing such a rogue, would be so unbelievably credible and completely overturn one’s impressions of Ye Tianchen.

”Big brother, can, can I keep you company?” At this moment, a young girl around seventeen or eighteen, blinking timidly yet desirefully, asked Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen glanced at the young girl in front of him, dressed very scantily in black stockings, black leather shoes, and a black camisole, with her hair put up and her face heavily made up, particularly her under-developed chest which she had tried hard to accentuate but which couldn’t hide her youth. He didn’t know how she had gotten in, or why she was so young and already working at Heaven and Earth. Ye Tianchen didn’t want to ask or know because sometimes being aware of such things wasn’t necessarily good.

”Go home, this isn’t a place for you!” Ye Tianchen grabbed a few stacks of money from the bag—he didn’t know how much and didn’t look—just stuffed them into the young girl’s bra, and then turned around and walked away without looking back.
