NOVEL NEXT Chapter 131: Truly Lucky
"I understand."
Wang Ye spoke without expression, but everyone could feel the intense killing intent permeating his calm voice as he spoke.
That was supposed to belong to the Wang family.
Now, it had become an object of contention among numerous forces.
It seemed that these families and forces had forgotten that these things should belong to the Wang family.
Instead, they treated them as their own.
...
That evening.
Mist Smoke Bar.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing took a taxi to the entrance of Mist Smoke Bar and were about to enter when they were stopped by two security guards:
"Sorry, sir, miss, the Mist Smoke Bar has been reserved tonight, and entry without an invitation is not permitted."
Wang Ye glanced at the security guards, his eyes revealing deadly intent. Merely being looked at by Wang Ye made the guard feel as though he had fallen into an endless hell, daring not to say anything further.
The other guard apparently wanted to say something, but was stopped by the first guard, who did not allow him to speak.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing entered the Mist Smoke Bar directly.
As soon as they entered, a group of people looked towards Wang Ye and Su Wanqing. Since both were wearing masks, no one recognized them.
"Hey, coming here and still wearing masks, trying to act mysterious?"
"People who act mysterious under these circumstances usually have a screw loose, looking at them like that, they're probably not any big shots."
"Nonsense, if it was someone from a major family or a powerful group, they would have shown their faces directly to intimidate everyone here. Those wearing masks are usually lacking confidence, afraid of their expressions being seen."
"It's just that these two look quite unfamiliar. Which group are they with? Why haven't we seen them before?"
Some people stared at Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, discussing and looking at them curiously.
"Who knows, maybe they just found out about this and wanted to come in for a piece of the action. Otherwise, which of these people do we not know?"
"If that's the case, then we should act on behalf of those major families to give them a good squeeze. If those major families and powerful groups are satisfied, maybe when it comes to discussing shares later, they might give us a bit more."
"A bit more? Hey, I think your idea is a fantasy."
"Even if we can't get more, helping out the major families is definitely going to get us remembered by them. Just being remembered by those major families and powerful groups is a good thing."
In saying so,
a man led a few people beside him towards Wang Ye and Su Wanqing.
When he reached Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, the man took a puff of his cigarette and, in a fog of smoke, asked Wang Ye, "Kid, where are you guys from? Why haven't we seen you before?"
"It's quite normal that you haven't seen us before because we have never appeared in front of you before," Wang Ye coldly replied.
Upon hearing this,
the man immediately had an idea.
They were newcomers.
Since they were newcomers, he could influence them a bit—either get them to join them and work for them or make them behave and leave a good impression on those major families and powerful groups.
Thinking this,
the man directly said to Wang Ye, "It seems you're newcomers. Just the two of you won't be able to gain much, chances are slim."
"Why not join us? When we gain benefits, we can share some with you. What do you think?"
The man spoke up to this point.
His eyes fixed on Wang Ye.
Then, his gaze shifted onto Su Wanqing next to him.
Upon seeing Su Wanqing's skin and figure, a hint of greed flashed in the man's eyes.
Even though Su Wanqing was wearing a mask, the man could still tell that Su Wanqing was exceptionally beautiful.
In his heart, he had already started to ponder how he could lure Su Wanqing into his grasp after striking a deal with Wang Ye.
Wang Ye saw the man's gaze lingering on Su Wanqing. Although he didn't have much affection for her, they were married, and Su Wanqing was his wife.
Seeing another man staring at his wife like that, Wang Ye naturally felt very annoyed.
Immediately, he shielded Su Wanqing behind him, glared at the man, and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
Protected behind Wang Ye, Su Wanqing looked at his solid back and couldn't help but feel touched.
"Sorry, sorry."
As he wanted to enlist Wang Ye and Su Wanqing under his command, and only by doing so could he find an opportunity to make a move on Su Wanqing,
thus, even though Wang Ye spoke to him in that tone, the man still pretended to be polite and apologized to Wang Ye. Then he asked Wang Ye, "So, do you want to join our team?"
"No!" Wang Ye answered crisply.
"Really not joining?"
The man frowned slightly.
He had been so courteous to Wang Ye, yet Wang Ye's attitude made him really angry.
But his own power was relatively weak, and these big families and powers knew exactly what he was plotting by gathering them here tonight.
So, if there was a chance to expand his power at this time, he would take that chance.
When Wang Ye was asked again, his tone grew impatient, "I said no, so it's no. How many times do you want me to say it? I'm not joining you."
Wang Ye's impatient tone also made the man realize that there was no chance of pulling Wang Ye into their side.
And Wang Ye's attitude just now
had made the man furious.
"You son of a!"
The man cursed, his face losing the earlier courteous expression, only showing ruthlessness, "Don't appreciate the face given, huh?"
He said this,
and swung a fierce punch directly towards Wang Ye's face.
However,
just as his fist was about to strike Wang Ye's face, a voice suddenly rang out:
"What are you doing over there?"
Upon hearing this voice, the man immediately stopped and looked towards where the voice was coming from.
Wang Ye, Su Wanqing, and the onlookers also turned their attention to the source of the voice.
Wang Ye first glanced at the man and thought how lucky he was.
If that man hadn't stopped in time, the punch he had thrown at him would have probably been devastating!
And the owner of the voice walked towards Wang Ye and Su Wanqing.
