Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1106: 1081: Vengeance Must Be Served
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
Ye Chen noticed the terrified look on the bald man's face and realized he was filled with fear.
Half of the bald man's body dangled perilously over the overpass railing, after all.
Should he plummet, survival might come at the cost of lifelong disability.
Rules held no value in such a dire moment.
What good were rules without one's life intact?
Ye Chen spoke in an icy tone, “I’ll give you one more chance. Who sent you?”
The bald man let out a sigh, “It was Calis.”
A chill flickered across Ye Chen’s gaze.
He had suspected Calis for quite some time, yet lacked solid proof.
In Hawk Country, his only foes were Calis and Rock.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Ye Chen hurled the bald man from the overpass.
Yet, instead of flinging him onto the busy highway, Ye Chen deposited him safely by the roadside, preserving his life.
Back in the vehicle, the butler stared at Ye Chen like he was beholding a fiend.
He could scarcely believe this young fellow harbored such terrifying fighting prowess.
Little wonder Rost revered him so much; the man was extraordinary.
The image of Ye Chen's punch launching the bald man through the air etched itself indelibly in the butler's mind.
Lin Wanrou voiced her concern, “Ye Chen, will that guy be okay after you tossed him from the overpass?”
Ye Chen ignited the engine and offered a subtle smile, “They dispatched killers after me, so someone else will handle the aftermath naturally.”
Upon hearing Ye Chen, Lin Wanrou's complexion shifted, “Just who is gunning for us?”
Ye Chen glanced at Lin Wanrou and replied, “You’ve probably figured it out by now.”
A slight change crossed Lin Wanrou’s features.
She had indeed suspected it, though unwilling to face the truth.
Calis was her half-brother, after all.
“I never thought Calis would stoop to this.”
Fury surfaced on Lin Wanrou’s face.
The enemy had targeted Ye Chen, no less.
Ye Chen represented her greatest vulnerability.
“I won’t let this slide.”
Ye Chen grinned, “And what do you intend to do?”
“I’ll ask my grandfather to demand justice on my behalf,” Lin Wanrou declared.
Ye Chen laughed lightly, “Calis wouldn’t have sent killers without full preparations. Without proof, how can you pin it on him? Would he confess?”
Lin Wanrou pondered his words, her gaze dimming a bit.
Ye Chen spoke true; evidence eluded her.
Telling her grandfather changed little.
At worst, he’d receive a reprimand as family, escaping harsher punishment.
“So, what’s our next move?” Lin Wanrou inquired, eyes fixed on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen gave a faint smile, “I have no intention of dropping it. Relax, I’ll take care of everything.”
Lin Wanrou’s expression altered at Ye Chen’s assurance.
She grasped his planned course of action.
“Ye Chen, word is Calis has allied with Hawk Country’s underworld powers, so he might overpower you there.”
Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Really? I’m furious right now, and I hate putting off vengeance overnight—it sours my mood.”
Lin Wanrou sighed, well aware of Ye Chen’s temperament.
Treat Ye Chen kindly, and he’d return the favor manifold.
Cross him, however, and regret was inevitable.
Lin Wanrou realized persuasion was futile. After a brief pause, she dialed a number.
Ye Chen escorted Lin Wanrou home before quietly departing.
He headed to a nightclub.
Situated in Lun City’s heart, this establishment ranked among the most renowned bars.
The place thrummed with energy.
Ye Chen strode inside without hesitation.
Bypassing the dance floor, he made a beeline for a second-floor private room.
Calis owned this venue, whispers linking him to a major underworld figure.
Patrons here included local rich heirs, drawn largely by the alluring females.
The women sported skimpy outfits, eager to hook a rich partner.
Though some ladies approached Ye Chen flirtatiously, he brushed them off promptly.
Meanwhile, in an opulent private room, Calis and Rock reveled with women on their laps, imbibing spirits.
Calis smirked, “Rock, results are imminent. Ye Chen’s demise means I’ll deliver Wanrou to you as promised.”
“Brother Calis, you’re a real pal. Success here, and I’ll show my gratitude handsomely.”
“Cheers.”
They toasted with glasses of fine red wine.
“Haha, time to indulge before the news arrives.”
With that, Calis yanked at the blouse buttons of his companion.
Rock flashed a wicked grin and groped the woman beside him.
Clearly, the pair geared up for indulgence.
Yet a knock echoed at that instant.
Calis scowled.
His rising excitement shattered by the intrusion left him seething.
Calis bellowed at the door, “Who the hell is blind? Didn’t I make it clear—no interruptions during my fun?”
Then, a nearby bodyguard swung open the room door.
In stepped a man sporting gold-rimmed glasses.
“Mr. Calis, trouble has arisen.”
“What kind of trouble?” Calis demanded.
“Has that punk kicked the bucket? No sweat, just pay the killer extra to skip town from Hawk Country.”
Calis savored his red wine casually.
Excitement lit Rock’s features too.
“Haha, that fool went mad vying for a woman against me. Death suits him.”
The gold-rimmed glasses man shook his head, face odd, “The hit failed. Our hired assassin got flung from the overpass by him and lies crippled now.”
Calis’s face twitched, “Failed how exactly?”
Rock looked stunned too, “Failure? Weren’t they elite killers?”
The glasses man replied, “Nothing to do; his skills surpassed what we anticipated.”
Calis inhaled deeply, “Fine, I’ll fork over ten million more for a deadlier assassin. I won’t accept we can’t take him down.”
The glasses man shook his head, “Target’s too elite. Minimum fifty million extra required.”
“Fifty million?” Calis’s look shifted at the figure.
Calis drew another breath, “Deal, add fifty million. I refuse to believe he’s untouchable. Bring good tidings next time.”
The gold-rimmed glasses man nodded, “Count on it; we’re deploying top-tier assassins this round.”
Suddenly then, a loud “bang” resounded as the door burst open.
The kicker’s power was overwhelming, ripping the door from its hinges.
It hurtled straight at the gold-rimmed glasses man.
The man’s face paled; he dodged swiftly.
Bang!
The door crashed into the coffee table with force, splattering beverages everywhere.
Amid everyone’s stunned stares, Ye Chen advanced steadily.
A frosty aura clung to Ye Chen as he dragged a bodyguard along, mockery gleaming in his eyes.
“No need for all that effort—I’m already here.”
