Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1086: 1061: Zhao Hua Takes Action
Ye Chen at first had no desire to tangle with those few individuals, yet they grew bolder and more insolent by the second.
“Watch your mouth—aren't your words stinking up the place too much?”
Zhu Ming never imagined Ye Chen would retort so boldly, his face darkening instantly.
“Damn it, you're nothing but a delivery boy, and you act all tough?”
“Brat, get on your knees and apologize right now, or you won't step out of our campus today.”
“That's right, you have to say sorry.”
The group refused to back down.
Next to them, Song Xiaoxiao could no longer tolerate it.
“Zhu Ming, what do you think you're doing? Ye Chen's my friend—crossing him means crossing me.”
Watching Song Xiaoxiao shield Ye Chen, Zhu Ming's expression turned even stormier.
“Brat, is hiding behind a girl all you can do?”
“Leaning on a woman like that—it's downright embarrassing for any real man.”
Ye Chen's brow furrowed.
They were merely students at the start, and Ye Chen preferred not to get involved.
However, these fools showed no gratitude for mercy.
Right at that moment, a dashing young man entered the cafeteria.
“All of you, quiet down!”
The moment they spotted Zhao Hua, silence swept over the crowd.
Zhao Hua's eyes landed on Ye Chen.
In an instant, his features twisted in astonishment.
Zhao Hua fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, shock flashing in his eyes.
So alike—uncannily alike.
Approaching Ye Chen, Zhao Hua spoke with utmost respect, “Might I have the honor of knowing your name?”
Seeing Zhao Hua, Ye Chen felt a jolt of recognition.
Zhao Hua seemed incredibly familiar, strikingly reminiscent of someone.
Of course—Zhao Yun.
Could it be him?
Ye Chen replied, “Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen? Immortal Ye.
Excitement lit up Zhao Hua's face.
Zhu Ming stepped forward, glancing at Zhao Hua deferentially, “Young Master Zhao, this punk stirred up trouble on our campus. We were about to give him a proper lesson.”
Slap!
A sharp slap rang out.
Zhu Ming clutched his cheek, dazed.
“Young Master Zhao, why'd you strike me?”
Though Zhu Ming lorded over the school, he paled in comparison to Zhao Hua.
After all, Zhao Hua was the heir to the Zhao Family, among the four great clans.
Even after the blow, Zhu Ming seethed inwardly but held his tongue.
“If you value your life, take your crew and scram right now.”
Zhao Hua's thunderous command made Zhu Ming shudder in terror.
The others stood frozen in confusion.
While both families held prestige, they had always shown mutual respect.
Yet today, Zhao Hua slapped Zhu Ming publicly without a shred of mercy.
Zhu Ming went ashen.
“Brother Zhao, what's this about?”
Zhu Ming couldn't fathom why Zhao Hua would shatter their bond so abruptly.
And over a mere delivery boy, no less.
“Zhao Hua, what the hell? Have you lost your mind?”
Zhao Hua's visage remained icy.
“I'll count to three—if you're still here, I won't hesitate to end you.”
“One!”
“Two!”
Under Zhao Hua's chilling stare, Zhu Ming finally panicked.
He fled hastily with his followers.
Zhao Hua then drew near Ye Chen, bowing slightly, “Mr. Ye, greetings. I'm Zhao Hua, descendant of Zhao Yun.”
“So you're from Zhao Yun's line!”
Ye Chen was surprised, now grasping why Zhao Hua had intervened.
Clearly, Zhao Yun had passed down instructions to his kin, prompting such reverence.
“Mr. Ye, should you ever require aid, just say the word. Leave the fools like these to me.”
Zhao Hua's declaration left everyone slack-jawed.
Who was Zhao Hua? The scion of the Zhao dynasty.
For him to pledge loyalty to a delivery man—unthinkable!
Ye Chen nodded: “Ah, so Zhao Yun's blood runs in you— the resemblance is striking.”
Those words sent Zhao Hua's pulse racing.
They proved Ye Chen had indeed encountered his forebear.
Validating every word in Zhao Yun's records as truth.
“Brother Ye, you and sister-in-law enjoy your meal—we won't intrude.”
With that, Zhao Hua took a seat nearby, deferential as a loyal subordinate.
Meal concluded, Ye Chen parted from Song Xiaoxiao and headed to the gates.
He was reaching for his delivery bike when a van screeched to a halt before him.
A dozen thugs piled out.
Zhu Ming led the pack, glaring daggers at Ye Chen.
“Brat, you got a death wish, messing with me like that.”
The slap from Zhao Hua fueled Zhu Ming's burning grudge.
Unable to challenge Zhao Hua, he targeted Ye Chen instead.
Thus, he rallied his gang to thrash the delivery boy.
Ye Chen scowled.
This pest just wouldn't quit.
At the gates, students witnessing the standoff paled in horror.
Zhu Ming ruled the school with an iron fist—offenders always regretted it.
“Take him down, finish this punk!” Zhu Ming barked at his crew.
Vroom, vroom, vroom.
A fleet of luxury SUVs barreled in from the entrance.
They formed a wall, separating Ye Chen from Zhu Ming's mob.
Doors flew open, and over a dozen suited enforcers surged forth.
Zhao Hua stormed ahead like a rampaging beast.
“Zhu Ming, courting death, are you?”
With that, Zhao Hua smashed a brutal fist into Zhu Ming's jaw.
The blow sent Zhu Ming reeling.
The spectacle left all onlookers stupefied.
Zhao Hua's fury boiled over as he ordered his men, “Beat him senseless.”
Terror gripped Zhu Ming as he faced Zhao Hua.
“Zhao Hua, our families' waters never crossed—do you intend full war with the Zhu clan?”
“War? Touch Brother Ye, and I'll wipe out your entire lineage.”
Zhao Hua lunged, delivering two more stinging slaps.
He had trailed Ye Chen's exit, assigning guards in secret.
Who knew Zhu Ming would dare assault Immortal Ye.
As the family's savior, Immortal Ye prompted Zhao Shan to deploy elite protectors upon learning his identity.
Two more slaps landed; Zhu Ming despaired.
“Brother Ye, let's discuss this calmly.”
“Discuss your ass!”
Zhao Hua pummeled him with fists and feet.
The crowd gaped in disbelief.
Zhao Hua thrashed Zhu Ming until he wailed in agony.
Even Ye Chen was taken aback.
Who'd have thought Zhao Hua acted with such ferocity.
No hesitation—he dove straight into the fray.
Ye Chen gave a subtle nod: “True heir to Zhao Yun—handles things with flair.”
Hauling the battered Zhu Ming before Ye Chen, Zhao Hua asked, “Brother Ye, what should we do with this scum?”
Zhao Hua's address stunned the assembly.
He called Ye Chen 'Brother'.
And his demeanor screamed underling to superior.
Holy crap, this delivery dude's a big shot—Zhao Hua's his follower.
Zhao Hua mobilized his forces to pummel Zhu Ming over daring to target him.
“Unbelievable.”
“Risking feud with the Zhu Family for a delivery guy?”
“What status does this delivery guy hold to command such deference from Zhao Hua?”
Hearing Zhu Ming had ambushed Ye Chen at the gates, Song Xiaoxiao rushed out.
The sight that greeted her left her utterly speechless.
