Many people feel that their existence in this world is for their inner evil, but some people exist purely for showing off. The more they show off, the more they feel their presence. With the understanding and support of others, returning to the initial state, what Ye Tiancheng wanted to do most was to maximize his strength. Now, his strength had no match in this circle, so everything felt bland.
He craved more stimulation, and in the process of seeking it, he was extremely bored.
To become stronger, to possess more power, he had no choice but to pursue strong individuals in this world. As long as he found them, he could act with abandon, expressing everything he wanted to the fullest. The air was filled with unimaginable scents, making him feel like someone else entirely, out of place in this bar's atmosphere.
He felt like a failure in this world, constantly chasing but never finding what he desired. These crowds were simply those who, after eating and drinking their fill, didn't know what to do. Their very existence was a disgrace to this world. He constantly felt the urge to eliminate them all.
"I have that kid. Why are you here? Why don't you go to school? Students like you, like milk, should be in schools full of blooming cherry blossoms. This place is for adults." A man with a full beard walked over and patted Ye Tiancheng on the shoulder. His eyes were filled with disdain, and his wicked demeanor made Ye Tiancheng very uncomfortable. Regardless, this guy was asking for a beating.
"Do you think you're asking for a beating? Why are you talking so much nonsense to me? When I'm unhappy, I'll beat you to death." The plaintiff poked the bearded man's shoulder with a finger, a sharp glint in his eyes. His expression told the other man to be sensible and leave, not to babble here. If he continued babbling, he would meet his end.
After saying all this, the only thought was to make him feel like he was facing his doom.
"After understanding all this, he finally knew that there were some things he couldn't grasp. He was like a big fool."
"What are you talking about!"
At this moment, a heavily made-up woman walked over, placed her hands on Ye Tiancheng's shoulders, and said in a childish voice.
Ye Tiancheng raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman with disgust. In his life, women like this were like garbage, looking like ghosts.
"Oh my, little brother, you're really not nice. Why are you looking at me like that? Are you saying I'll eat you?" The woman's eyes revealed a hint of annoyance.
This woman was that guy's partner, the companion of the bearded man.
"Why should I care about your nonsense? Here, you must follow my rules. Those who don't accept my rules will only meet their end!"
There was a murderous aura in the woman's eyes. She wanted to get rid of this guy. To her, Ye Tiancheng's existence was an insult. How could she, so young and beautiful, accept such a provocative attitude?
This woman was a typical example of "only officials are allowed to set fires, while commoners are forbidden to light lamps." She didn't want to explain anything. In this bar, she was the queen, and all the men revolved around her. This sense of accomplishment made her feel superior in this society, while others were just passersby. She could do whatever she wanted, and getting more resources was simply her natural pursuit. What happened to others had nothing to do with her.
"What do you want? I just want to have another drink, and you're causing so much trouble. It's incredibly boring." You might think this woman was asking for trouble. It must be said that this woman had foresight. She felt that Ye Tiancheng had inexhaustible value. She crawled onto Ye Tiancheng and said in a childish voice, "I've been thinking about you for a long time. A young man like you is my type. I wonder if you can satisfy me?" As she spoke, she ran her fair fingers over him.
Ye Tiancheng frowned and said, "Take your hands off, you're dirty!"
The woman was surprised that her advances were met with contempt. She was very angry but helpless because she was a woman and could only rely on others for fights. She turned her gaze to the bearded man and said slowly, "Heizi, if you beat this man up, you know what happens tonight. No charge."
This bearded man was called Heizi. He roamed this world with a pair of ferocious fists. He could kill a bull with one punch, so a slender frame like Ye Tiancheng's could be dealt with by him with just one finger. Therefore, when he heard the woman say this, he licked his lips, revealing a sinister look. He had already experienced the pleasure of being with women, and if he wanted to try again, it would cost him 100,000 yuan RMB for one night. For ordinary people, this 100,000 yuan was a year's income. Here, he could earn a lot of money in this way, so he didn't take trash like Ye Tiancheng seriously at all. He felt that even if Ye Tiancheng worked in society, he would earn about 10,000 yuan a month, which in China surpassed 99% of people.
Therefore, women like this had a sense of superiority because she could earn 100,000 yuan in one night, and one job a month could earn more than a white-collar worker's annual income. This self-superiority was naturally explosive, and she naturally looked down on people without money. This was the price: the rich were everything, and the poor should get out of the way. No one would care about your endless wails; they only cared if you had more Chinese yuan.
If you had enough Chinese yuan to impress her, she would naturally look at you differently. As the saying goes, "Look at the wine in the cup, toast to the rich. As long as you have money, everything will be fine." From this woman's perspective, Ye Tiancheng didn't look like a rich person at all; he looked more like a loser who craved women like her.
It must be said that Ye Tiancheng was now mocking the other party. His expression was not very friendly, and he didn't take them seriously at all. To him, they were just a laughable existence, and it was precisely because they were a laughable existence that he spoke and acted this way. Often, fate's arrangements are identical. Some arrogant people always like to treat powerful people as laughable existences.
It must be said that such people are very pathetic. It must be said that such people are destined to become laughable existences. Ye Tiancheng would not stoop to arguing with such trash, as it would demean his status.
He always felt that some people were fools but still smug. He twirled his wine glass, completely ignoring their provocations, and walked towards the opposite bar counter.
"I want a coffee from the bar."
"This is a bar, how could there be such a thing? Aren't you a man, being funny?" The bartender couldn't help but laugh when he heard such a ridiculous request.
At this moment, the onlookers also looked at him as if he were an idiot. They felt that there were too many funny people in the world, and he was the first funny person they had ever seen. They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
These people all looked at Ye Tiancheng as a fool, thinking that only a fool like him would do such a funny thing and say such funny words.
The beautiful young lady had set her sights on Heizi, meaning she wanted this trash removed quickly and never wanted to see him again.
"Little brother, I pity you because you think you can show off endlessly here. Showing off comes with a great price."
Ye Tiancheng didn't consider this a big deal. In his eyes, these people were pathetic existences. Precisely because they were pathetic existences, they felt that their own consciousness was the most important thing, and others' thoughts were just trash.
In his opinion, some things could not be constrained. Some people were simply arrogant existences. They never thought that others' existence had any purpose, always believing that their own existence was the most correct. Whether others existed or not had nothing to do with him. Perhaps it was this selfish existence that caused them to ignore others' feelings at the most important moments. Ye Tiancheng was such a person. He didn't care what others thought; he only cared about how he felt about it. Every lonely soul needed comfort. When others comforted him, he didn't care if others received comfort. To put it bluntly, this beautiful young lady was also in a very awkward position.
"I can't believe I've become such a laughable existence. You completely disregard me. If you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, calling me 'Grandmother,' I can forgive you." This guy, with an arrogant demeanor, held his head high and looked at Ye Tiancheng with disdain. Seeing the woman's attitude, Ye Tiancheng naturally didn't care about her and said to her in a mocking tone, "If you can understand the current situation, which is clearly disadvantageous to you, and you still choose to act this way, I truly admire you." As he said this, a look of contempt appeared on his face. He already looked down on him, and now he looked even more annoyed.
"I know what you're thinking, but I regret to tell you that pretending to be profound in front of me is useless. If you want to show disdain for me, you should do it more thoroughly, not by saying useless things to me with such annoying eyes."
At this moment, they were at daggers drawn, wanting to display their abilities. Of course, they wanted to present themselves as harmless and innocent, like a fresh and innocent person. However, in Ye Tiancheng's eyes, this kind of profound pretense was very annoying. He had no choice but to continue drinking by himself, completely disregarding the woman in front of him.
If he had paid attention to the woman in front of him, he would have been a complete failure and unforgivable. Thinking about these things, he felt both desolate and ridiculous. When he realized he wouldn't be recognized by anyone, the anger that arose in his heart was beyond words. Consequently, he told Heizi to strike him dead, to make Ye Tiancheng understand what kind of existence he was and to make Ye Tiancheng pay a heavy price.
This heavy price was not something anyone could bear. What he wanted to achieve was simple: to accomplish everything he desired. Without drinking, Ye Tiancheng's anger reached an unbearable level. He said to the woman, "How far can you go? Get lost. I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you think I'm easy to bully, you're terribly mistaken."
These words erupted in an instant, making Ye Tiancheng furious. Every look in his eyes was filled with immense anger, and the thought of killing him was the desire of these men to show off in front of the woman. They felt their intelligence was insulted and they had to make Ye Tiancheng pay a heavy price. Ye Tiancheng wondered what was wrong with him. Couldn't he express himself to the fullest?
These words were certainly acceptable, but to others, this idea was a bit too exaggerated. However, exaggeration was one thing, and reality was another.
If a person lived in such an environment for a long time, no matter how good their mood was, it wouldn't remain good. Their eyes were filled with malice and hatred for the world.
She never dreamed that at this moment, she would be looked at like this, feeling like a pathetic and ridiculous existence. Sometimes, the choices made for this sense of presence, this superiority, could cause incomparable confusion. Everyone strives for their own survival, but everyone's choices are vastly different.
In other words, her sense of superiority would disappear, replaced by being looked down upon. This was something the woman absolutely could not accept. She told Heizi to teach Ye Tiancheng a good lesson and even to make him kowtow three times calling her 'Grandmother' before she would let him go. Ye Tiancheng felt she was too self-important, believing that besides her, there was no one else in the world. This self-superiority would bring endless hatred, and she would surely pay a heavier price later, without ever considering what kind of pleasure her momentary satisfaction would bring.
"I will make you regret coming into this world, hahahaha. And woman, you are mine tonight." Heizi said with a dangerous smile, telling Ye Tiancheng that he would soon become unrecognizable. Ye Tiancheng smiled playfully. He didn't take such threats seriously at all. Ye Tiancheng did whatever he wanted, and no one could threaten his existence; only he could threaten others. Therefore, such a person would not care about exaggerated threats from others. Heizi was surprised that Ye Tiancheng was so dismissive of him, a strong man, and was so furious that he rushed forward.
Then he grabbed him with one hand. He glared and asked, "Damn it, do you know the consequences of offending me?"
"I know. It's only fools like you who feel superior, who think the world revolves around them, that the Earth wouldn't spin without you, and that the world would be destroyed without you. Your state makes me feel that you are too self-important."
Ye Tiancheng pushed his hand away, and his hand automatically loosened as if being pricked by needles.
Because Ye Tiancheng possessed the power of the Divine Stone, it was impossible for others to control him. With a gentle push of his hand, he could control the other person's hand. And Heizi hadn't even seen clearly how Ye Tiancheng did it, causing him to release his hand automatically. Ye Tiancheng would later tell him how he did it. His demeanor was very powerful. To ordinary cultivators, he appeared like an immortal.
"I regret to tell you that sometimes, don't think too highly of yourself. In fact, you are just like everyone else, eating with your mouth and defecating with your butt." Ye Tiancheng smiled playfully and then looked back at the bartender, hoping he could get him a glass of fine wine.
The bartender had already been intimidated by Ye Tiancheng's aura and dared not be negligent. His negligence would have dire consequences, because a formidable figure like Ye Tiancheng was someone he could not afford to offend. People like him could turn the clouds and rain with a flip of their hands; that was the state of a strong person. As a strong person, you could do whatever you wanted, and others could not stop you. At this moment, Ye Tiancheng's self-inflation had reached its peak because he insisted on drinking coffee here, and no one dared to say anything. They could only reluctantly comply, because the bar owner liked to drink coffee, and he only drank low-grade lattes, which cost no more than 50 yuan RMB per cup. How could a small owner like him afford 30,000 yuan worth of Kopi Luwak?
So, he easily got his coffee. No one dared to say anything to him, otherwise, they would pay a heavy price, a price that ordinary people could not afford.
Soon, the coffee he wanted was delivered to him. The owner delivered it himself, without using a waiter, because they knew that offending this distinguished guest would lead to their immediate demise. He was always your distinguished guest, no matter when, he was still your distinguished guest.
"Yes, yes, sir, your coffee is here..." the bar owner said timidly, fearing that a slight mistake would offend Ye Tiancheng, and he would have to pay some price in the next moment. It was easy to imagine that powerful people naturally had a powerful aura, and the aura it generated was enough to awe these petty individuals, enough to awe all of history.
