Chapter 16: Ye Clan Corporation
"I'll invite you to watch a good movie another day. The ones playing in theaters right now are really trash!" Qin Ruo nodded deeply in agreement.
"Wow, really? Landlord, what movie are you going to treat me to?" Xia Fei Xuan quickly asked curiously.
"Island nation art film!" Qin Ruo said with an utterly solemn and sacred expression.
Island nation art film? Xia Fei Xuan's little head tilted curiously, then her pretty face flushed red as she muttered under her breath.
Looking at Qin Ruo's gentlemanly face, Xia Fei Xuan thought disdainfully: Stinky perverted landlord!
At this moment, something unusual was happening inside Binhai City's super conglomerate—the Ye Clan Corporation.
In recent years, they had made a fortune developing real estate on the city's outskirts.
The company was located in the city center, a fifty-six-story building gleaming with gold and grandeur.
In the spacious top-floor hall of the Ye Clan Corporation, golden pendant lamps emitted luxurious radiance.
In the office, hundreds of men dressed in black stood in place, each exuding a palpable murderous aura.
Leading them was an elder in his fifties, none other than the powerhouse who had pursued the Evil Tiger last night.
In front of everyone sat a gloomy-faced middle-aged man, lazily reclining in a luxurious chair draped with genuine tiger skin.
He was dressed extravagantly, with nine rings adorning his ten fingers—those alone were worth at least ten million.
This man was none other than the renowned boss of the Ye Clan Corporation, Ye Long, who dominated Binhai.
As the fastest-rising corporation among Binhai's businesses in recent years, Ye Long frequently attended commercial events and enjoyed great fame in Binhai's business circles.
Unexpectedly, he was also the overlord of Binhai's underworld—the leader of the Night Dragon Gang.
He controlled over a hundred KTVs and more than twenty nightclubs in Binhai City. These underground earnings far exceeded his legitimate business by a hundredfold or more.
At this moment, his expression was somewhat displeased.
As Binhai's most successful businessman, he had actually been ambushed last night, which left him extremely irritated.
"Any news on the Evil Tiger?"
"Reporting to Boss, after you wounded the Evil Tiger last night, we followed his trail all the way to Zone C. He was already doomed, but then a top expert intervened!" the elder answered truthfully.
"A top expert? Hmph, what kind of expert does Binhai even have left?" Ye Long said disdainfully. As Binhai's top dog, he covered the skies with one hand here.
On the surface, it was thanks to his company's booming success, but behind the scenes, it was his hard power.
Ye Long was already a Mid Qi Strength powerhouse, the strongest in Binhai's underworld.
The elder gave a wry smile and said, "Reporting to Boss, it was a young man in his twenties. I couldn't see through his cultivation at all. He saw right through mine with a single glance!"
Hearing this, Ye Long's originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with disbelief. "Are you telling the truth?"
The elder nodded emphatically.
Ye Long rose from his chair, finally unable to sit still.
The emergence of a true expert in Binhai posed a massive threat to him. Though he had built his vast empire with his own two hands, against a real powerhouse, it was as fragile as paper.
Pacing a few steps, he pondered in silence before muttering to himself, "A powerhouse you can't see through is at least Late Qi Strength. Such experts are exceedingly rare—probably top ten on the Earth List. Beings like that either go mad from training or ignore worldly affairs. Heh, so Binhai has hidden dragons and crouching tigers after all!"
"Boss, what about the Evil Tiger?"
Ye Long's eyes gleamed with gloomy coldness like ice: "The Evil Tiger is all brawn and no brains, not worth worrying about. That reckless assassination exposed his nature! Does he think a mere Early Qi Strength nobody is some invincible expert?"
"But this guy dared to assassinate me, crossing my bottom line! For now, have men watch him closely. The moment he leaves that expert, it's his death!"
Ye Long paused, then said gravely, "As for that mysterious young powerhouse, don't provoke him for now. You and I are both martial artists—we know what Late Qi Strength means. Even ten of me couldn't beat him! But once that person returns, who wins is still up in the air."
"Yes, Boss!"
The elder nodded and then dismissed the assembly.
