Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 490: Chapter 489: [Arrogant Young Masters Are Too Many, They Need a Beating!]

Wherever there are people, there will be strife. Ye Tianchen’s rise and the trend of the Ye family’s revitalization had already caught the eyes of many powerful forces and big families. While some big families came to cozy up to them, naturally there were also forces that disdained them. This time, the majority of those who attended Elder Ye Yuanshan’s 75th birthday were certainly there to form good relationships with the Ye family, hoping to secure opportunities for cooperation and assistance once the Ye family grew stronger.

Of course, among these attendees, there were also those who came with the mentality of enjoying the show and did not take Ye Tianchen and the Ye family seriously. They came for two reasons: one was to establish good relations with other big families and powers, and the second was to see just how capable Ye Tianchen really was.

”I’m sorry to tell you, but in my eyes, Ye Tianchen is nothing, and as for the Ye family’s rise, it will have to see if the Li family approves,” said a rather handsome, white-faced young man in a silver suit, speaking very arrogantly to everyone present.

At that moment, several men and women in the audience, who were also the scions of other big families and powers, and equally prestigious, were slightly taken aback when they saw the young man in the silver suit. Then, all of them revealed smiles on their faces, clearly eager to befriend him.

”Oh, it’s Young Master Sun of the Li family. When did you come back to the country?”

”It’s been a while since we’ve seen you, Young Master Sun still carries the same charm.”

”Young Master Sun is absolutely right, no matter how capable Ye Tianchen is, he’s nothing in front of Young Master Sun...”

”I think if Young Master Sun could meet Ye Tianchen, there might even be some opportunities for cooperation between them, right?”

In an instant, these men and women, who had previously spoken highly of Ye Tianchen and looked favorably upon the Ye family, changed their tune completely upon seeing the white-faced young man in the silver suit, leaning towards the other side with no hesitation, as if their earlier praises of Ye Tianchen had been mere empty words.

This is the social maneuvering of big families and powers. The higher the position, the more there are only interests. There are no eternal enemies or friends. Although these younger generations from big families or powers are not as strong or intelligent as their elders, their sophistication in social networking is deeply ingrained, nurtured by the family and absorbed through life experience. Social networking is key to whether a person can make it and do well in society.

”Meet? Cooperate? Hmph, you think too highly of Ye Tianchen,” scoffed Li Xin, who had not been back in the country for many years. ”The moment I return, I hear about this Ye Tianchen, so I had to come and see for myself. The Ye family has been in decline for so long, yet it hasn’t died out—shows the rest of you families and forces aren’t much good!”

Li Xin, who claimed his name, spoke in a mockingly disdainful manner, not only looking down on Ye Tianchen but also dismissing the power behind everyone present. Such arrogant behavior was quite revealing!

The people present furrowed their brows upon hearing Li Xin’s words, their eyes flickering with displeasure. Yet they weren’t without tact and many simply smiled it off without taking issue. Honestly, they dared not take issue, as those words, if spoken by anyone else, could have brought great trouble. Who would dare to offend everyone present with a single statement? After all, was there one among them who wasn’t a person of significant status?

Such a statement could bring not just danger to one’s life but even spell doom for an entire family. However, coming from Li Xin’s mouth, all anyone could do was smile away the awkwardness and act as if they hadn’t heard.

”Heh, Young Master Lee, what are your plans for returning to the country?” someone asked with a chuckle.

”I naturally have important matters to attend to. I’ll be leaving first,” Li Xin clearly did not wish to converse with this crowd, feeling it beneath him, and turned to leave.

”Young Master Lee, aren’t you going to meet with Ye Tianchen?” an instigator deliberately asked.

”He’s not qualified to meet me... Ah!”

Before Li Xin could finish his contemptuous statement, his supposedly graceful turn collided with someone passing by behind him. He did not knock the person over; instead, he himself was sent flying more than a meter away, falling to the ground. He landed face-first, creating a stark contrast to his previously arrogant and invincible demeanor.

If it had been anyone else taking a fall like that, they might have been laughed at, but with Li Xin tumbling to the ground, mouth full of dirt, not only did no one laugh, many showed an expression of great shock—because they were worried for the person who had knocked Li Xin over. Whether intentional or not, whoever dared to embarrass Li Xin like that was probably doomed.

”Dammit, who the hell doesn’t watch where they’re going...”

Thump!

Before Li Xin could finish his cursing as he rose to his feet, he was kicked flying again, landing heavily in a thicket several meters away without causing much commotion. However, many saw Li Xin shoot out like an arrow, likely to be severely injured if not dead.

The men and women present stood dumbstruck, all wearing incredulous expressions. Right in front of them was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, accompanied by a very sexy-looking beautiful woman. After kicking Li Xin away, the young man appeared as if nothing had happened, casually chatting with the beauty clinging to his arm, his nonchalance reaching an extreme level.

”You... you, bro, do you know who you just kicked?” a nervous man in a suit asked.

”I don’t know, shouldn’t someone be hit for cursing at others?” the young man retorted.

The man in the suit felt as if he were on the verge of collapse and dizziness. He had never imagined that Li Xin, an influential figure whom none of them present could afford to offend, would be sent flying just for swearing at someone. And the person who kicked him flew out just like an idiot, still oblivious to the terrible trouble they had just caused.

”Bro, what’s your name? Even if you die, you’ll be famous. Do you know who you just kicked? He doesn’t just get away with cursing at people, he could murder someone here, and no one would be able to do anything about it, no one would dare to...”

”Murder? Who dares to kill someone on the Ye family’s turf? Do they really think Ye Tianchen is a vegetarian?”

At these words, everyone was shocked once again. They hadn’t expected that the young man in front of them, the guy with a super beautiful woman, was actually Ye Tianchen. It was Tianchen who, just moments ago, had sent Li Xin sprawling in an ignoble fashion. When Li Xin had gotten up and started cursing, Tianchen had casually kicked him, sending him flying.

”You’re Ye Tianchen?”

”So young?”

”It’s over, there was hope for the Ye family to prosper, but just because of your kick, not only will you lose your life, but you might also bring about the destruction of the Ye family.”

”You should never have offended Young Master Lee, there’s no way to end this peacefully now...”

Many people, upon realizing that the one who had kicked Li Xin was actually Ye Tianchen, couldn’t help their astonishment, and they all felt a sense of regret for Tianchen. Ye Tianchen’s recent actions in Capital City had impressed the major families and powers with his exceptionalness, seemingly signifying a rejuvenation of the Ye family. But now, due to an unfortunate mistake, he had struck Li Xin, and it seemed that all was lost.

”Brother Ye, I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’ll be heading out first...”

”Please, feel free.”

”Brother Ye, there’s an emergency at home, I must leave first...”

”Alright.”

Less than a minute later, the several men and women present had all left, leaving only Ye Tianchen and Su Feifei at the dining area. Tianchen had taken a slice of dragon fruit to eat, and with a glass of red wine in his left hand, he seemed to be enjoying himself, savoring the taste slowly.

Su Feifei glanced at Ye Tianchen and, seeing that everyone else had left, seemed to breathe a great sigh of relief, yet also appeared very nervous. She hurriedly spoke up, ”Are you really in the mood to eat random things now?”

”What do you mean, random things? If I’m hungry, what else should I do but eat?” Ye Tianchen looked at Su Feifei with some confusion and asked.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Su Feifei was almost driven mad with frustration. If you say Ye Tianchen is low in intelligence, he couldn’t have pulled off so many major events, but if you say he’s highly intelligent, it seems that at critical moments, the guy can be quite an idiot.

”You... do you know who you just kicked? It was Li Xin!” Su Feifei couldn’t help but hiss at him.

”So what?”

”So what? Do you know who he is? His grandfather is a boss, someone on the same level as Elder Yang, still in a position of power. Have you not caused a huge problem?” Su Feifei said, hardly containing her anger.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, frowned and then said indifferently, ”I had thought his grandfather was the number one leader. If that was the case, I would have brought him in front of the number one leader for a good education. Since he’s on equal footing with Elder Yang, I’ll just give Elder Yang a call later and let him sort it out.”

Su Feifei couldn’t believe her ears when she heard Ye Tianchen’s words; she even felt the urge to kick him a few times, thinking that Ye Tianchen, having heard about Li Xin’s identity, had panicked and was making even more outrageous statements. He seemed to be blowing his own trumpet to the heavens, casually saying he would get Elder Yang to take care of the situation as if he were somebody so influential.

”There’s nobody here, so stop putting on an act for me. Hurry up and think of a way to deal with this. Li Xin definitely won’t let this go. If this escalates, it could really cause a huge disaster!” Su Feifei thought Ye Tianchen was just posturing for face and quickly whispered to him in earnest.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, finished off the slice of dragon fruit in his left hand, picked up another piece of watermelon, took a big bite, and then walked on ahead...
