Chapter 876: Chapter 851:
Ye Chen walked back and forth in front of everyone, holding his chest with his right hand and supporting his head with his left, thinking lightly. It seemed like he was pondering something. After a while, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “There’s something I need to discuss with you!”
“Brother Chen, you’ve said this twice already!” Feng Zhixiao muttered.
“I’m planning to establish a nation!” As soon as Ye Chen said this, the scene immediately fell silent.
Bang…
With a loud crash, Li Tieniu fell directly to the ground, hitting the back of his head, which left him dizzy. However, he climbed up as if nothing had happened, staring at Ye Chen dumbfoundedly, and said, “Brother Chen, we can’t do this kind of thing!”
“Yeah, Brother Chen, we can’t do such rebellious things!” Feng Zhixiao swallowed several times.
“Brother Chen, even though we want to do it, we still trust our country and our party!” Jiang Wei quickly said.
Six out of the Seven Hidden Generals expressed their unwillingness to do it, as they believed it violated their principles and the nation’s laws and regulations. After all, rebellion was a risky business that could cost them their heads if not done right, unlike the underworld, which the country allowed. But rebellion was different; getting beheaded was a minor issue, but dragging down your family was a major one.
On the scene, there was only one person who didn’t comment, but instead frowned as they thought about the issue. That person was Da Hei, whose thoughts differed from the others. His education was not about loyalty to the king and the party, nor so-called ideological and political education, but about freedom, democracy, and open-minded education. The UK ruled Hong Kong for a hundred years, transforming the place over that time and offering tremendous development opportunities to all of Hong Kong.
“Hehe…” Ye Chen waved his hand, then smiled and said, “You’ve all misunderstood!”
“Ah? Brother Chen, what do you mean? Please make it clear to us, don’t leave us worried!” everyone said one after another.
“My meaning is very simple. Let me put it this way: I want to build a city on a large piece of land, and this city will be our world in the future. Later, I will confer titles upon you, giving you the honor you deserve!” Ye Chen announced grandly, revealing a hint of madness in his eyes, and said, “I want to give the little brothers of the Heavenly Reversal Gang a place, a home, a sense of honor and belonging!”
Sss…
Everyone took a deep breath. Feng Zhixiao, being clever, immediately associated it with the Rothschild family, thinking of that magical, mysterious, and wealthy place. Excitedly, he said, “Brother Chen, is Leisure City going to become a nation?”
“No…” Ye Chen waved his hand and then grinned, saying, “Leisure City is just a place, but somewhere else, there is an even more vast and fertile land waiting for us to cultivate and build! Are you willing?”
“Hell, I’m in, as long as we don’t do anything rebellious, I’m the first to follow Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao threw his cup.
Crash…
The transparent glass cup shattered on the ground. This impulsive act didn’t seem excessive to the others; instead, it ignited their rebellious spirit. They all stood up, shouting, “Brother Chen, we’re in too. Damn it, it’s just a head! If it falls, it’s just a bowl-sized scar! Who’s afraid of whom; in eighteen years, I’ll be a man again!”
Ye Chen looked at them, so excited and enthusiastic, and a smile appeared on his face. This was a group of brothers who were open-hearted and sincere, a group of brothers who regarded each other with mutual understanding. Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, “With honor comes sacrifice. Perhaps you will become the next Liu the Tyrant. I hope you can understand this. I also hope that you can position yourselves properly. Though the future is bright, there will be more obstacles on the path to glory!”
“Don’t worry, Brother Chen, we understand!” everyone nodded. A brand-new path appeared before them, but it was also full of thorns. However, they were willing to follow Ye Chen through the obstacles, overcoming one hurdle after another, marching toward the ultimate victory and being the last to laugh.
“Good!” Ye Chen exclaimed excitedly, “Someone come!”
“Brother Chen, I’m here!” Liu San, who had come along, quickly waved his hand. After coming out of prison with Liu the Tyrant, he had been mingling in Jianghuai City before going to the Northeast, where the Fierce Tiger Gang suppressed the region, making it impossible for the Heavenly Reversal Gang to survive there. Eventually, he ended up in Japan, following Feng Zhixiao all the way. Liu San eagerly stepped forward.
“Go, get some alcohol here, today we’ll drink to our hearts’ content with the brothers!” Ye Chen said excitedly.
“Hoo-hoo-hoo…” Everyone excitedly waved their arms.
Soon, the alcohol arrived, over a dozen bottles of baijiu, along with cold dishes, cooked beef, seafood, brought by the little brothers on trays, one after another. The old housekeeper, who had been scolded earlier by Feng Zhixiao, finally had the chance to make up for it. Afraid of being scolded for late dishes, he urged the kitchen to work overtime to prepare them.
Ye Chen originally only wanted some small dishes to go with the wine, but inadvertently, it turned into a lavish banquet. However, the feast appeared somewhat mismatched. With these beautiful dishes in front of them, Ye Chen and the others drank heavily. Although they didn’t eat much of the feast, they finished all ten-plus bottles of baijiu. Everyone drank more than a jin of baijiu, getting completely inebriated.
Some faces turned red, while others remained unchanged. Alcohol is both a good and bad thing; it can let people express their true feelings, but also make them act foolishly. The Chinese embrace the culture of the drinking table, where any contract or project needs to be finalized on the table. However, sometimes, alcohol can also convey friendships or release emotions among friends.
“Brothers, let’s have another!” Ye Chen shouted.
“Come on, let’s do it!” everyone shouted, raising their cups, clinking together so hard that the liquid splashed out. The brotherly camaraderie was released, and faces radiated with satisfied smiles.
…
In Shanghai, within the Liu Family, there was excitement, smiles, and a longing for the future. They anticipated their future lives and looked forward to striving with Ye Chen in the future kingdom.
Meanwhile, in Italy, a mud-covered car burst out of the holed rural road and hit the regular cement road. Along the way, this silver-gray small car was unrecognizable. Inside, six people looked weary, their eyes showing a hint of fatigue.
“Haoran, are we there yet?” Yun Qi, with her eyes closed and her face haggard after sitting in the car for so long, asked. To avoid the Chaikefu family’s pursuit, they had traveled on rural roads, the bumps making them nauseated and more exhausted.
“Almost!” Kong Haoran quickly nodded.
“You’ve been saying almost all the way!” Yun Qi said angrily.
“Haha… This time, we’re really close!” Kong Haoran laughed heartily.
The tires screeched loudly on the asphalt. The car quickly raced past, speeding through the territory of Italy, heading swiftly toward the Temple of the Gods.
Temple of the Gods.
A black-clothed man ascended the thousands of steps, making his way to the inner part of the Temple of the Gods. Massive columns stood on either side, with rows of black-clad guards standing tall, the air filled with chill.
“Sect Leader, the Doomsday Family members have arrived!” the black-clothed man hurriedly rushed in.
“Hmm?” The red-clothed woman stood inside the Temple, gazing up at the giant statue, then turned to look at the black-clothed guard when she heard the report and asked, “Why have they come? Wasn’t it said that the Squad Leader died? Who is in charge now?”
“It’s Kong Haoran!” the black-clothed guard quickly said.
“Him?!” The red-clothed woman paused and then asked, “Why has he come?”
“He’s here to seek our help!” the black-clothed guard immediately said.
“Let them in!” replied the red-clothed woman.
Before long, the black-clothed man descended the steps of the Temple of the Gods, running toward them.
“What did the Sect Leader say?!” Kong Haoran asked anxiously.
“The Sect Leader asked you to come in, she wants to meet you!” the black-clothed guard promptly said.
“Let them in,” replied the red-clothed woman.
A car, covered in yellow mud, emerged from the muddy country road in Italy and sped onto the asphalt road. The six people inside looked weary, their eyes showing a trace of fatigue.
“How much farther, Haoran?” Yun Qi asked, her eyes closed, face weary from riding in the car for so long. Avoiding the Chaikefu family’s chase, they had taken rural roads, and the bumps had worn them out.
“Ah, have we arrived?” Yun Qi exclaimed, still closing her eyes with an exhausted look.
“I said, we’re almost there!” Kong Haoran replied excitedly.
“I’ve heard ‘almost there’ a hundred times!” Yun Qi said irritably.
“Haha… This time we really are almost there!” Kong Haoran replied with a laugh.
The car sped along the asphalt road, and soon raced through the Italian territory, barreling at high speed toward the Temple of the Gods in Italy.
A black-robed man ascended countless stone steps, making his way inside, where several rows of black-clothed guards stood stiffly beside massive columns, chilling the air with their presence.
“Sect Hierarch, the people of the Doomsday Family have arrived!” the black-clothed man hurried in.
“Hmm?” the red-clothed woman stood within the Temple of the Gods, raised her head, and asked, “Why have they come? Wasn’t it said the Squad Leader is dead? Who is in charge now?”
“It’s Kong Haoran!” the black-clothed guard quickly responded.
“Let them in!” the red-clothed woman replied.
“How did it go? What did the Sect Hierarch say?!” Kong Haoran asked anxiously.
“The Sect Hierarch told you to come in, and she wishes to see you,” the black-clothed guard said immediately.
“Let them in!” ordered the red-clothed woman again.
Six people stood by the roadside car, their eyes fixed on the direction of the Temple of the Gods. Soon, a black-clothed guard hurried down the temple’s thousand steps and ran toward them.
“Here’s the situation, the Sect Leader wants to meet you,” the black-clothed guard quickly said.
“Let them in,” the red-clothed woman responded again.
“Come on, let’s go see the Sect Leader!” Kong Haoran quickly said.
“All right, let’s hope for the best!” Yun Qi said helplessly, “Right now, I just want to have a good sleep, take a bath, and have a good rest!”
