Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 1749 - 0078: Warriors and Commoners 4

The two of them were chatting intermittently here, while over on the other side, He Qiong and her daughter Li Menglan were also expressing their feelings of parting, as they hadnʼt seen each other in seven years.

Wang Yue was talking to Li Yingying while listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter.

It was only then that he learned that seven years ago, it had been Li Menglanʼs own decision to sell herself to the Wang family; He Qiong had even been unaware of this until she received the money from the Wang family and then found out what had happened.

At that time, she had wanted her daughter to come back, but the contract had already been signed, and the Wang family was such a powerful entity; an ordinary person like her couldnʼt do anything about it.

Hearing this inside story, Wang Yue couldnʼt help but think to himself: the only difference between ordinary people and warriors is strength; otherwise, there is no distinction in worthiness. In fact, many warriors even have worse character than ordinary people.

Just like He Qiong and Li Menglan—one was willing to become a slave for her mother and siblings, while the other would rather live in extreme hardship than not see her daughter return.

And then he thought of his own grandfather, who, in order to establish a connection with a sacred martial arts place, had heartlessly sent his only six-year-old daughter away. The gap between them...

Today, here, Wang Yue was truly exposed to what was known as the ”lower classes” for the first time. Coupled with his own experience of being used as a tool, he suddenly gained some insights. Warriors are not noble; many of them hide behind filth and selfishness.

Ordinary people are not lowly either; they too possess great character and emotions. Of course, one cannot generalize; among warriors, there are those with noble character and emotions, such as the women of the Wang family, who work together for their family without ever using their power to oppress others.

Similarly, among ordinary people, there are those who, once they gain power, can be even worse than the worst warriors.

As they were talking, Wang Yue suddenly frowned because he heard the sound of brakes outside, followed by chaotic footsteps. The residents of this neighborhood were mostly workers; during the day, adults went to work and children went to school, so the area was usually very quiet.

The sudden appearance of a group of people surely didnʼt bode well. Wang Yue got up and went to the door, then suddenly opened it.

Outside, a burly man was about to kick the door when he was startled by Wang Yueʼs sudden appearance and stood frozen in place.

”What do you want?” Wang Yue asked, looking at the burly man and the seven or eight people following him.

”Who are you?” the burly man asked, puzzled. Although the young man in front of him looked very young and still had a childish air, his demeanor was quite extraordinary.

Moreover, he remembered seeing a rather expensive hovercar downstairs; it was probably belonging to this young man. So, even though they were in the majority, they didnʼt dare to act rashly.

”It doesnʼt matter who I am, and it doesnʼt matter who you are either. Just get lost, or you wonʼt be able to leave here,” Wang Yue said calmly.

These guys clearly looked like henchmen; arguing with them was pointless. It would be better to drive them away and then follow them quietly to their lair and solve the problem once and for all. Moreover, Wang Yue felt that what was happening to the Li family seemed rather unusual.

After all, it wasnʼt a secret that Li Menglan worked for the Wang family; anyone who wanted to could find out easily.

But these people still managed to target the Li family—there must be some unknown reasons behind this.

Those people didnʼt know Wang Yueʼs capabilities and didnʼt dare to provoke him easily, but they were also reluctant to leave just like that.

So they said, ”Young man, this is unfair. Li Gang damaged our bossʼs car. If he doesnʼt pay for it, will the Crocodile Gang still have any face in this area?”

”Oh? So how do you want him to compensate?” Wang Yue asked, interested. ”Itʼs very simple—five million credit points will do,” the burly man said. Five million credit points meant nothing to Wang Yue; he had spent fifty million just on a temporary knife. But for the Li family, it was an enormous amount of money—they simply wouldnʼt be able to afford it.

”What if they canʼt come up with that much money?” Wang Yue asked.

”Thatʼs not a problem,” the burly man said. ”Our boss isnʼt the kind to seek revenge to the extreme. As long as Li Gangʼs sister agrees to date our young master, this matter will be settled. If the Li family can establish a connection with the Crocodile Gang, they will benefit greatly too.”

Inside the house, Li Menglan and her mother also heard about this demand for the first time. Li Yingying instinctively moved closer to her mother.

Wang Yue, on the other hand, couldnʼt help but laugh and cry at the same time. It was indeed premeditated that the Crocodile Gangʼs boss had crashed into Li Gangʼs car, but the reason was actually Li Yingying.

It seems that due to my experiences in my previous life, I have indeed become a bit overly sensitive. The Crocodile Gang is just a small and arrogant gang that lacks any real influence; it has nothing to do with any plots targeting the three major families.

On the other hand, although Li Yingying is young, her appearance and figure are truly outstanding. In an ordinary high school, she would definitely be considered a goddess-like campus beauty. Itʼs not surprising that some lustful individuals would try various means to pursue her, but fail.

As for why they didnʼt directly target Li Yingying, itʼs because under the governance of the Warriors Alliance, human territories are currently well-regulated. People generally donʼt dare to engage in acts like ”abducting women”.

After all, although the Warriors Alliance represents the warrior class, any society needs a large number of commoners. Without them, how could warriors assert their superiority?

If it had been just a ”car accident”, there would have been room for dispute. The leader of the Crocodile Gang could have claimed that it was Li Gang who hit him, and with some bribes, those in charge of regulating civilian affairs might have chosen to turn a blind eye.

Nevertheless, even so, Wang Yue had no intention of letting the Crocodile Gang off easy. Firstly, their methods were too despicable. Secondly, if Li Gangʼs physical condition hadnʼt been so good, he might have been killed on the spot. People like them donʼt deserve any mercy!

”Take me to see your leader; I need to talk to him,” Wang Yue ordered, determined to have a direct confrontation with the Crocodile Gangʼs leader.

The burly man said nothing, but someone behind him, being arrogant and lacking the burly manʼs judgment, scoffed, ”Little brat, who do you think you are? Thinking you can meet our leader?”

”Silence!” Wang Yue sneered and sent out a palm strike from mid-air. The man let out a groan and collapsed silently.

”Brother Biao, Liu Zi is dead!” someone beside him said, helping the man who had provoked Wang Yue and checking his breath in horror.

The burly manʼs face turned pale instantly: a warrior… and one who even dared to kill in public. Warriors are already considered superior; they are not someone these thugs, who rely solely on brute force, should provoke. Moreover, the fact that this warrior dared to kill in public meant his status was certainly not ordinary.

”Young master, letʼs talk things over properly. Iʼll take you to see our boss right away.” The burly man didnʼt dare hesitate in the slightest and quickly replied with utmost respect.

”Alright, lead the way,” Wang Yue said, then turned to Li Menglan and added, ”Sister Lan, letʼs go and take a look together.”

”Iʼll go too,” Li Yingying suddenly said. She felt that since this matter had started because of her, it was her responsibility to participate in resolving it, even though she was extremely scared.

Wang Yue nodded without refusing.

Although Li Menglan and Li Yingying were just ordinary people, the Crocodile Gang wasnʼt really a dangerous place at all. To Wang Yue, it was no more than an ant nest.

Immediately, after leaving He Qiong to take care of Li Gang, who might wake up at any moment, Li Menglan and her sister followed Wang Yue downstairs.
