The occupants of the newly opened hotel were immediately invigorated. Their hearts had been teetering on the brink of utter despair.
"Who opened this hotel?"
"Reporting, Miss... we have absolutely no idea," the Hou family's butler said to Hou Mingzhu.
"What good are you all? Worthless!" Hou Mingzhu was still furious, unable to bear seeing the opposing restaurant's business grow more and more prosperous.
He was plunged into absolute despair, a state where his inability to accept reality was laid bare.
"We'll investigate immediately and find out. Please wait a moment, Miss." The man finished speaking and hurried away, heading outside.
The Hou family's butler investigated for a while and then rushed back, "Miss Hou, we've found out. The person is Ye Tiancheng..."
"Damn Ye Tiancheng, you scoundrel, how dare you steal my business!" At this moment, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Ye Tiancheng was too formidable and too powerful; he had no ability to resist it.
"This is truly a situation that could kill a person!" At this moment, his heart was in utter despair.
This would lead to a situation with severe consequences. With the emergence of such a situation, Ye Tiancheng was plunged into extreme despair, not understanding the consequences of continuing like this. In short, he couldn't openly confront Hou Mingzhu yet. A slow and steady approach was the most effective way to harm and despair of the other party.
These principles were more important to Ye Tiancheng than anything else.
Looking at it this way, the situation was truly maddening.
At this juncture, time was more crucial than anything else, as everything needed to be re-evaluated due to the passage of time.
"Then let's burn his hotel down!" Hou Mingzhu's subordinate offered a terrible suggestion.
As soon as this idea left the man's mouth, it took on a different flavor. At this critical juncture, Ye Tiancheng didn't want to say much because he understood very well that the more he wanted to express, the less he could express at this moment, and the more he would fall into a certain reality and crisis. For someone who clearly understood the trouble that would arise from acting this way, he had already begun what others had not. It was precisely for this reason that his heart was more complex, falling into a scope where he naturally wanted to protect his own interests.
He was very clear about this but didn't want to reveal the reason.
This led to many situations where he became extremely complex, causing communication barriers between them. Therefore, the Hou family's servant, filled with anger, ran to the hotel to confront Ye Tiancheng.
Facing such a problem, the other party had no time to react. It seemed that many things were not as good or as perfect as they imagined.
Ultimately, after this series of events, one should find their own faults. However, the other party did not consider this at all. As servants of the Hou family, their first thought was to find trouble with Ye Tiancheng.
It was precisely because of this reason and these factors that the resulting effect for Ye Tiancheng was that many things could no longer be explained. What he wanted to do now was only to face the opponent's attack and make a selective plan. However, these guys were not so considerate of his well-being. In the current situation, Ye Tiancheng felt as if he would be defeated by himself.
There was still ample time for Hou Mingzhu's preparations. For him now, the entire matter was insufficient, and corresponding preparations had been made. In the course of these preparations, many things had greatly overlooked his instincts. What he originally wanted to do might become quite troublesome because of these things. People always fall into their own fears because these things are innate. It was precisely because of these innate things that he felt dangerous, causing various pressures in his heart.
This guy had already spoken his mind in front of Hou Mingzhu, so he couldn't help but seek revenge on Ye Tiancheng.
Taking more than twenty people, he hurried to the entrance of Ye Tiancheng's shop and pointed at Ye Tiancheng's nose, cursing, "You, Ye Tiancheng... get out here, or I'll smash your shop."
As soon as he finished dealing with these people, Ye Tiancheng came out, wanting to relax his nerves. As soon as he stepped outside, someone was already cursing him.
This was Hou Mingzhu's butler. Ye Tiancheng naturally recognized him.
This person, whom he called Hou Feiji, was just over forty years old. Due to years of fitness, his body was covered with various muscles. The man looked like a very strong and ferocious fellow.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so strong and ferocious, far exceeding our expectations. What should we do? How can we get rid of this guy?" Beside Ye Tiancheng, Little Fatty was so scared that his pants were almost wet, and his legs were trembling.
"With your kind of courage, working for me is truly laughable." Seeing him like this, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but chuckle, thinking this guy was too funny. He dared to babble so much nonsense to him. Didn't he know he was courting death? Many people's acts of courting death are actually very laughable, especially like this.
Now, for Ye Tiancheng, what he wanted to do was very simple: to make the opponent bear his pressure.
Therefore, from the beginning, he didn't intend to negotiate with the other party. He directly wanted to fight them. Only by fighting them would they feel his immense power, because people with power are often the strongest.
Because he displayed such powerful strength, the other party was unable to fight him and could only choose to compromise with people in such an environment. The price of compromise would be greater. He did not expect Ye Tiancheng to be so strong and possess such destructive power. The power Ye Tiancheng displayed was completely beyond the other party's reach.
"Since you're afraid of me, why don't you scram? The farther the better. I mean I don't want to see you." Hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, the man couldn't help but show a look of fear and awe. It was precisely his expression that betrayed him, even a little bit, and Ye Tiancheng captured it. Ye Tiancheng glanced at him coldly, his aura exuding a destructive presence.
Therefore, the butler was terrified because, seeing Ye Tiancheng in such a state, he dared not resist no matter what.
"Since you choose to fear me, then get lost. Otherwise, I will punish you." Tiancheng was very dissatisfied with this guy because he felt the guy was asking for trouble. Unless he could understand his position and thoughts, if not, he would make him understand. If he didn't want to do it, he would make him do it. He only had one chance to choose and one purpose to understand. Under these circumstances and reasons, everything would be re-divided. Ye Tiancheng felt that he could suppress him with threatening words. He could suppress him with threatening words, leaving him no choice.
"He found this change surprising, and it certainly didn't happen as he expected.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that this guy's psychology began to change. He quickly showed an expression of wanting to escape. However, Hou Mingzhu saw all of this. This woman didn't say anything, but in her heart, there was already a deep anger. This anger might not have been seen by people, but it had already formed in her heart. What consequences this anger would cause was unknown. Ultimately, the consequences were indescribable. From now on, she had to clarify one thing: the gap between them was too great to be explained in words. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng could only crush the opponent with his strength. The opponent also understood his situation, so he finally had to explain a situation to himself.
"In the face of absolute strength, all efforts are in vain. So I want to tell you something now: your efforts are irreparable." At this moment, he was naturally told what was going on. That is, Hou Mingzhu had seen through her incompetent subordinate. To put it bluntly, he went to disgrace himself, not to teach Ye Tiancheng a lesson.
"My subordinates are all like this, none of them are decent." At this moment, she was so angry her lungs were about to explode.
But she was powerless because Ye Tiancheng was too formidable. In every aspect, he surpassed her subordinates by too much.
"Are we just going to let this go, do nothing, and let that guy grow?" The Hou family's butler was named He Cheng.
He was a martial artist, naturally different from the person who had volunteered to teach Ye Tiancheng a lesson earlier.
He Wu, his current performance made Hou Mingzhu trust his strength even less. The player's combat power was very high. That butler went to teach Ye Tiancheng a lesson but was reprimanded by Ye Tiancheng. So now he wanted to change things, no matter what, so as not to lose face again. He had already lost face just now. This butler did not teach Ye Tiancheng a lesson as he was told, but instead, in front of everyone, he disgraced him. Hou Mingzhu also insisted and scolded He Wu, "You've already lost too much face, do you want to lose more now? I can't afford to lose face."
"Miss, please believe me, I will definitely deal with that guy properly." The man spoke with great confidence, as if he had never failed. Seeing him so confident made her unable to disbelieve him.
"If that's the case, then tell me, what should we do next?" Honestly, she didn't know how to make this guy understand the consequences of being too confident sometimes.
"If you can defeat him, then you will have your share. My Tianfu Hotel will give you 1% of the shares." Hou Mingzhu certainly didn't believe he could defeat Ye Tiancheng, because the butler's combat power was comparable to his. That guy was scared shitless by Ye Tiancheng, so how could he possibly defeat him? Because of belief, sometimes it's more about helplessness, or the inability to surpass the opponent.
"Perhaps you don't know how to defeat the opponent, but I have the courage." He Wu was naturally motivated by the 1% share. Great rewards beget brave men.
The reason he volunteered and gave Hou Mingzhu enough confidence was his belief that he could defeat Ye Tiancheng, for the sake of this 1% share, for this indescribable amount of money.
Great rewards beget brave men. Everyone strives for money, everyone strives for their own profits.
"If what you're saying is true, then I can consider it, hahahaha." He Wu naturally knew that Hou Mingzhu was a woman of her word, and the engagement with Ye Tiancheng back then was a huge deception.
Because when Hou Mingzhu's family was signing a contract for trade with another family, the head of the other family hoped that their family had a marriage engagement with someone else. That is to say, they felt that married people were reliable, and they had to be young people because young people could create this world. So the contracting party hoped that Hou Mingzhu was marriageable. At that time, Ye Tiancheng, in a daze, became Hou Mingzhu's groom.
Their marriage was not blessed by love at all. It was purely a marriage brought about by the conditions for signing the contract. Such a marriage could not have any happiness; from then on, it was all about profit.
Love and marriage born of profit are as fragile as paper.
Such a marriage was destined to fail and become a laughingstock.
In the next moment, Ye Tiancheng finally understood that sometimes certain loves were destined to become fleeting.
"I don't know why, but I always get excited about success. Miss Hou, if you give me 1% of the shares, I will naturally strive for money and work hard for money, hahahaha. Just wait and see, I will surely make that kid's head fall off." After saying this, he excitedly moved forward, and in his eyes, he saw more power, confidence, and...
It had to be said that he was too much of a big deal.
Ignoring the opponent below was simply courting death. Then, because he wanted to get that 1% share, he bravely went towards Ye Tiancheng. In the next moment, Ye Tiancheng's new restaurant welcomed a formidable opponent, He Wu.
He Wu walked to the entrance of Ye Tiancheng's hotel and saw that the flower baskets and celebratory plaques at the entrance had been smashed to pieces...
At this time, Little Fatty came out. He saw someone smashing things at the entrance.
In this instant, everything at the entrance was smashed to pieces, enraging Little Fatty, who shouted.
"You dare to smash our things? Do you want to die?"
Before Little Fatty could react, He Wu struck with a "Black Tiger Steals Heart," hitting Little Fatty, causing him to spit blood. Little Fatty flew out, landing heavily on the ground, smashing through the hotel's tempered glass. Hearing the sounds of fighting outside, Ye Tiancheng rushed out in shock. He didn't expect it to be another butler of Hou Mingzhu, whom he recognized, named He Wu.
"Hey, He Wu! Are you deliberately trying to oppose me?" Ye Tiancheng laughed when he saw He Wu standing in front of him with a fierce and overbearing demeanor. "Do you think you're still like before, when you kicked me out of the Hou family like a stray dog?"
As Ye Tiancheng spoke to He Wu, he looked at the beaten and half-dead Little Fatty. In fact, this guy had suffered severe external injuries. The so-called spitting blood was also due to the backflow of qi and blood. In reality, there was no life-threatening danger. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng decided to deal with He Wu first before saving Little Fatty and treating his wounds.
"In just three years, have you cultivated peerless martial arts? He Wu knows that cultivating martial arts takes at least ten years to achieve. Three years is only enough to learn a little. I've never heard of any hidden masters in that mountain village. What martial arts have you learned?" He Wu looked at Ye Tiancheng with disdain, thinking he was showing off in front of an expert. The aura he had just displayed was just to scare people. He also believed that the previous butler was scared away by Ye Tiancheng's aura because that butler was always someone who talked big but was very timid.
Ye Tiancheng didn't waste any more words with this guy. He knew that in fighting, talking too much would cause a lot of trouble. He charged forward and attacked him. With one move, the guy hadn't even seen Ye Tiancheng's figure clearly before he felt a figure fly past him. He himself flew up and landed heavily on the ground, creating a large pit.
"Kid, now I'll let you understand what 'there is always someone better' means." Ye Tiancheng stepped on his back with one foot. As he exerted force, his spine made cracking sounds, causing the guy to break out in a cold sweat.
Hou Mingzhu, standing by the window in the opposite Tianfu Hotel and witnessing all of this, gritted her teeth in anger...
She had placed great expectations on this guy but was only met with disappointment. Ye Tiancheng easily defeated him, and He Wu was completely like a dead dog, unable to deal with Ye Tiancheng.
"Mercy, great hero, mercy! I know I was wrong." He Wu could only beg for mercy now. The more he begged, the more Ye Tiancheng found him pathetic.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. I'll tell you very clearly, you must leave here as a cripple. Tell me, do you want to train your left arm or your right arm? Otherwise, I'll break your spine, and you'll be in a wheelchair for life?" Ye Tiancheng was now utterly evil, laughing wickedly as he spoke.
His laughter was chilling. Hearing Ye Tiancheng laugh, all sorts of terror arose in his heart.
"Now I understand, you are the master. If you can spare me, I will absolutely obey your future commands and arrangements and will never have any second thoughts."
Ye Tiancheng didn't want to listen to his nonsense. At the very least, he could pay one million to buy an arm. Therefore, he felt this guy was a complete idiot, not knowing that rich people make the world go round. What he enjoyed most now was not listening to his meaningless words.
