"I'm young and hot-headed, and I have a strong temper. I don't care if you're some Mr. Jin or a big boss; if you dare to target my wife, there's only one outcome for you, and that's to be beaten up by me," Ye Chen boasted as he spoke, his purpose in coming here being solely to teach a lesson.

"You are hot-headed and young; none of these are faults, but you made a mistake by not using your brain and offending me, Mr. Jin!" Mr. Jin looked toward Ye Chen and sneered coldly, "You think just because you defeated Hua, you can do whatever you want here at The Bund?"

"Young man, you're too arrogant!" Mr. Jin appeared as if he was lecturing, seemingly educating a younger generation as he spoke to Ye Chen, "Today I'll let you learn what it means when people say there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people."

"Mr. Jin, Hua is no match for this man; now you're the only one who can handle him," Mr. Jin turned to a man who had been silent all this time; this man was the super expert Hua had mentioned!

"Mr. Jin, you're the one who's made a mistake this time!" that Mr. Jin said.

"Hmm?"

Mr. Jin's expression faltered, he had invited Mr. Jin to subdue Ye Chen, but instead of taking action, Mr. Jin said he was wrong!

"This is Mr. Ye, I have fought with him before, but he repelled me with one move," Mr. Jin said with a smile.

"Defeated in one move!" Mr. Jin's face went slack with confusion, shock, and some disbelief.

Martial arts masters are superhuman, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands. Mr. Jin was even more transcendent than a martial arts master, truly a one-in-a-million elite!

Mr. Jin had seen Mr. Jin take action, able to uproot trees with his bare hands, and collapse a house with one punch; such strength was transcendent of this world!

However, Mr. Jin, whose skills were incomparable, had been defeated by Ye Chen in a single move...

Mr. Jin subconsciously looked toward Ye Chen, the innocuous look on his face inducing a deep sense of terror in the big boss.

"Interesting!" Ye Chen looked at Mr. Jin, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

Ye Chen knew this Mr. Jin, whose name was Jin Junlin, a Qingyun expert, and also one of the highest-ranking ones!

There was once a precious treasure that appeared in a cave, and many heroes fought over it, but in the end, Ye Chen erupted in full force, sweeping away all rivals and capturing the treasure. It was then that Jin Junlin was defeated by Ye Chen.

Jin Junlin's cultivation was very strong, and even if Ye Chen wanted to defeat him, he could not do it in a single move!

However, at that time, Ye Chen was in the midst of battling multiple enemies, his eyes red with fury. Not only did he unleash a twelve-fold combat strength, but he also used his Life and Death Skill. Jin Junlin rushed at him, intending to confront him forcefully, but was blown away by Ye Chen with a move called Dragon Elephant Overturning the Heavens.

"Mr. Ye, we parted in haste in the cave, and I didn't expect to meet you here again!" Jin Junlin said to Ye Chen.

"I guess you didn't want to see me!" Ye Chen said with a cryptic smile.

"Back in the cave, it was the survival of the fittest, battles everywhere, and I was compelled to make a move against you. I hope you hold no grudges," Jin Junlin bowed slightly, indicating his respect and also expressing an apology.

When they were fighting for the treasure, Ye Chen fought alone against many, and Jin Junlin took advantage of the chaos to make his move, also wanting to capture Ye Chen's treasure.

Thus, Jin Junlin lowered his stance, hoping Ye Chen would let bygones be bygones.

"The circumstances back then were such that if you didn't want to kill, you had to be killed. Your action against me was dictated by the situation, I don't blame you!" Ye Chen did not intend to hold a grudge. Chaotic times were approaching, and it was better to have more friends than enemies, so he was not the type of person to kill recklessly.

"Mr. Ye, please take a seat at the head of the table!" Jin Junlin stood up and invited Ye Chen to be seated.

"Hmm!" Ye Chen unhesitatingly sat down in the place of honor.

Ye Chen sat there like a boss, a grand and indescribable air of authority about him.

Jin Junlin thought of the miraculous aspects of Ye Chen and involuntarily felt dwarfed, somewhat constrained in his heart, and he just didn't dare sit alongside Ye Chen.

As Jin Junlin and Ye Chen spoke, Mr. Jin listened silently, trying to gauge Ye Chen's identity.

However, the mysteriousness of Ye Chen made even Jin Junlin extremely cautious, which somewhat alarmed Mr. Jin.

"This!" Hua, hiding in a corner, had a dazed look on his face.

Hua knew Mr. Jin was an expert and also knew that Ye Chen was profoundly mysterious.

When two unparalleled experts met, a fierce confrontation was inevitable. As such, Hua hid in the corner, afraid of being splattered with blood during their clash...

But seeing Jin Junlin lower his stance towards Ye Chen left Hua momentarily baffled.

"Mr. Jin, you were wrong in this matter!" Mr. Jin said, "This is Mr. Ye, someone even I wouldn't dare offend. You've annoyed him, so bring him a cup of wine and apologize with it!"

Ye Chen sat there, smiling without a word.

"Me, bring him wine to apologize?" Mr. Jin looked towards Jin Junlin with displeasure. "I'm a big boss of The Bund, even if the leaders of Huaxia came down here, I wouldn't need to be so humble!" Mr. Jin did not feel he had done anything wrong.

"Mr. Jin, neither you nor I can afford to offend this man. If you anger him, your death will be meaningless," Jin Junlin whispered to Mr. Jin.

"That can't be, can it?" Mr. Jin was truly scared.

"Do you think I would lie to you? I'm telling you to offer him wine as a way to give you an out!" Jin Junlin said.

"..." A turmoil roiled inside Mr. Jin, now tinged with apprehension.

Jin Junlin was a revered figure, and such a person would definitely not lie!

So Mr. Jin realized, he had truly provoked an existence that one should not offend.

Thinking about the whole story, Mr. Jin felt that today was his day of disaster, truly an unexpected calamity!

"Young Master Ye, I was too presumptuous, please be forgiving of any offense!"

Mr. Jin held a cup of wine and approached Ye Chen, presenting the wine as an apology, which counted as a very solemn gesture of atonement.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Just as Mr. Jin lifted the wine cup, a chaotic and hurried series of footsteps were heard, as a group of people burst in.

Liu Zhengqing's presence was astonishing as he stormed in with a wine bottle, seeking to help Ye Chen carve a bloody path.

Zhang Shoufu was also carrying two wine bottles, his demeanor that of one resigned to death.

However, as they charged in with overwhelming momentum, they saw Mr. Jin presenting wine to Ye Chen in apology...

What happened after Ye Chen entered the room may sound slow but had actually unfolded in just a few minutes.

In those few minutes, Liu Zhengqing had led the troops, moving from one end of the corridor to the other, and burst in only to be dumbfounded.

"..."

Mr. Jin was presenting wine to Ye Chen to apologize and suddenly found himself strongly surrounded, causing his face to flush between blue and red, an immense loss of face!

"Mr. Jin, the person who needs your apology has arrived, decide what to do yourself," Ye Chen said with a high air of authority. He did not take the wine cup and simply gave Mr. Jin a faint smile, turning his gaze towards Liu Zhengqing and the others.

"I understand!"

Mr. Jin sighed and walked toward Liu Zhengqing and the others.

...

"Junlin, your combat prowess ranks within the top ten of Qingyun, destined for hope of promotion to the Nine Dragons, when calamity descends upon this world, why not retreat into deep mountains for secluded cultivation instead of meddling in the secular world?" Ye Chen asked with a mocking smile at Junlin.

"Entering the mortal world is also a form of cultivation," Junlin responded lightly.

"Experiencing the mortal life, playing the game of the human realm, indeed, that is not a bad choice!" Ye Chen said. "However, having obtained countless treasures from cave dwellings, seclusion is currently the optimal, but you came to the mundane world to network with big shots, presumably aiming to become a regional overlord I presume!"

"Haha, you guessed it!" Junlin laughed inexplicably. "Correct, my presence in the mortal world, is to achieve a great cause, an undertaking passed down by my master."

"You are a Qingyun powerhouse, just a step away from advancing to the Nine Dragons, and you still have a master?" Ye Chen said incredulously.

Junlin was a grandmaster on the brink of advancing to the Nine Dragons; the individual capable of mentoring him was undoubtedly a formidable figure in the world!

"My master and a certain Emperor were from the same era, a powerful being at the level of the Nine Dragons Supreme!" Junlin declared.

An Emperor, two Kings, three Tycoons, four Heroes; the Emperor was the strongest, also the most ancient presence, Junlin's master being an ancient figure as well.

"An Emperor? Nine Dragons Supreme?" Ye Chen pondered. "An Emperor, two Kings, three Tycoons, four Heroes are the strongest in the world, are there other powerful beings beside them?"

"Do not underestimate the people of the world!" Junlin laughed enigmatically.

"I am all ears," Ye Chen said, indicating his willingness to learn.

"An Emperor, two Kings, three Tycoons, four Heroes, each one supremely powerful, yet they are not the strongest there is," Junlin said. "Besides them, there are many hidden masters in the world, my master being one among them."

"There are definitely more than ten individuals from the Nine Dragons lurking in Huaxia, several of the Ten Dragons Taboo as well, my master even said there is more than one Land God in Huaxia...," Junlin divulged some worldly secrets.

Junlin was a disciple of a reclusive grandmaster, aware of many secrets unknown to Ye Chen.

"Legend has it, beyond the East Sea exists an immortal isle, where many martial arts powerhouses reside peacefully; masters are everywhere on this isle, Nine Dragons figures roam abundantly, and Land Gods are commonly seen, it's said that the master of this isle is a Great Venerable of the Other Shore!"

"Born in chaotic times, where powerful figures are everywhere!"

"These powerhouses previously lay dormant, like dragons hidden in Jiuyuan, but as calamity approaches, they will surely emerge one after another!"

"The mortal world is a fat piece of meat, if one can control the economic lifeline of a region, then they are a top-level regional figure, the state will pay attention, and offer protection, hence many powerhouses will come to the secular world to develop!"

"In fact, many of Huaxia's powerful families are backed by these martial arts powerhouses..."

Junlin spoke of the secrets he knew one by one, immediately causing Ye Chen an endless surprise, his expression occasionally showing deep emotion, as if he was reacquainting himself with the world.

"..."

While Ye Chen and Junlin were having their discussion, Liu Zhengqing was also constantly astonished as The Bund's top tycoon was flattering him.

"Mr. Liu, I was wrong today, please don't blame me!" Mr. Jin sincerely apologized.

The identity and background of Ye Chen were terrifying enough to make this tycoon feel wary, and now Mr. Jin only wanted to beg for forgiveness, so he lowered his stance significantly.
