The person who arrived was Ye Ming.
"Mr. Ye! Don't worry! I'll throw them out right now!"
The security guard immediately said upon hearing this.
"Throw them out! With just you?"
Yuan Kun ignored the security guard and looked at Ye Ming, sneering, "Impersonating the owner of Villa Number One, I must say, you have quite the nerve!"
Impersonating?
Ye Ming was slightly taken aback, not fully understanding the situation.
"But you're unlucky today, you've kicked a steel plate!"
After saying this, Yuan Kun immediately made a phone call.
"Interesting!"
Seeing the other party so confident, Ye Ming found the situation increasingly amusing.
From the security guard's earlier report, he knew the name of the man before him was Yuan Kun.
And the previous owner of this Villa Number One, if he remembered correctly, should be named... Yuan Ling.
This meant the two might indeed be related by blood.
Ye Ming was very curious to see Yuan Ling's attitude regarding this.
After all, their conversation last time at Emperor's Residence wasn't deep. kuAiδugg
But this did not diminish Ye Ming's interest in Yuan Ling.
Judging from their brief exchange, Ye Ming was certain that the other party's strength had reached the Martial God level.
At an age not much older than himself, to possess such remarkable power.
From any angle, it was unusual.
"Why is this so familiar?"
At this moment, the woman next to Yuan Kun also noticed Ye Ming. Especially when she saw Ye Ming's face, she felt she had seen him before.
But she couldn't recall it for a moment.
After a moment, the call Yuan Kun made was finally answered.
"Cousin... Cousin! I... I'm Yuan Kun!"
As he spoke, Yuan Kun's tone was not just nervous, but filled with fear and apprehension.
He seemed very afraid of the person on the other end of the phone.
"You dare to contact me on your own, which means you have a reason you must do so!" The voice on the other end was very calm, showing no emotional fluctuation. "Of course! If I deem this reason unworthy of my attention, I will retract everything I have given to the Yuan family!"
Retract everything given to the Yuan family!
Upon hearing this, Yuan Kun's face turned pale, almost dropping his phone from fright.
"Cousin... Cousin! No... no! You will be satisfied with this reason!" Yuan Kun quickly said.
"Speak! What is it!"
The voice on the other end remained indifferent, as if not particularly concerned about his words.
Then, Yuan Kun glanced at Ye Ming, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and said, "Cousin! Someone is impersonating you, swindling and deceiving..."
He then explained the whole incident.
Naturally, some embellishments were added.
At this moment, with Ye Ming's hearing, he could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the phone.
That person... was indeed Yuan Ling.
After Yuan Kun finished speaking, Yuan Ling was silent for nearly ten seconds before saying, "I understand! Give the phone to Mr. Ye!"
His tone had clearly deepened.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Kun rejoiced internally and tossed the phone to Ye Ming. His eyes seemed to say, "Kid! You're finished!"
It seemed he hadn't noticed Yuan Ling's address to Ye Ming.
Otherwise, Yuan Kun wouldn't be in such good spirits.
"Mr. Ye! I didn't expect our second interaction to be like this." Yuan Ling's tone had changed again, like old friends reminiscing, with a smile.
At the same time, he no longer addressed Ye Ming as "Brother Ye" as he had the first time.
After all, at that time, Ye Ming had refused his offer of Villa Number One in exchange for his friendship.
"I'm surprised too!" Ye Ming smiled and asked, "Brother Yuan, what guidance do you have?"
Brother Yuan!
Yuan Ling paused for a second or two upon hearing this address before replying, "You are too kind, Brother Ye! I wouldn't dare in front of you!"
His address to Ye Ming had changed again.
It had to be said, their conversation was quite tiring.
Ye Ming narrowed his eyes, his smile becoming somewhat devilishly charming. "Since that's the case, Brother Yuan, why not speak your mind?"
"Hahaha! Good! I like Brother Ye's straightforward nature!" Yuan Ling laughed heartily, then slowly calmed down and said, "Brother Ye! The reason I'm having you take this call this time is to state a position!"
To state a position?
"Oh! I'm eager to hear it!"
Ye Ming's gaze flickered, as if he were looking at Yuan Ling from afar.
"Brother Ye! What I want to say is, we... are not enemies!" Yuan Ling's words carried a hint of solemnity, yet also a touch of deliberate vagueness.
"Not enemies?"
Hearing this stance, Ye Ming smiled playfully and said, "Then we are not friends either... correct?"
Indeed!
Not being enemies didn't necessarily mean being friends.
"Hahaha! Brother Ye! Why be so definitive?" Yuan Ling's laughter echoed again. "After all, last time, you rejected my friendship!"
This statement was quite a counter-attack.
"Brother Yuan! You yourself said it clearly. You said... your friendship!" Ye Ming's tone was tactful. "Not... your group's friendship!"
There was a world of difference between these two statements.
One Yuan Ling could be disregarded, but what about those behind him?
Ye Ming didn't believe that Yuan Ling alone, at such a young age, could reach the Martial God realm. If he claimed no one else assisted him, even ghosts wouldn't believe it.
"Uh! That sounds rather disheartening!" Yuan Ling said with feigned distress. "Brother Ye! You'll end up with no friends if you're like this."
"Hahaha! Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ming delivered a fatal blow to Yuan Ling. "But I have many girlfriends now!"
Many girlfriends?
Was this even human speech?
Well! It was also true!
"You..."
As expected, Yuan Ling was hit with ten thousand points of damage and said, "Fine! You win!"
He had, of course, investigated the people around Ye Ming through his own channels.
Therefore, he admitted... he was somewhat envious.
"Alright! Back to the main point!"
Ye Ming stopped joking and said gravely, "I need to confirm one thing with you. You are not enemies... correct?"
He said "you" as in plural, not just Yuan Ling.
"Yes!"
Yuan Ling did not hesitate for too long on this question. However, he added, "For now!"
Not enemies for now!
"Okay, I understand!"
Although the final remark piqued Ye Ming's interest, he also knew that Yuan Ling would not reveal any more information.
"On your account, I'll pretend Yuan Kun's matter never happened!" Ye Ming said indifferently, glancing at Yuan Kun, who was already dumbfounded.
"No need! I have nothing to do with the Yuan family anymore. You don't need to consider me!"
After saying this, Yuan Ling left a parting remark, "I look forward to our next meeting," and hung up the phone.
Ye Ming tossed the phone back to the still-stunned Yuan Kun, organizing Yuan Ling's revealed information in his mind, not bothering with them.
But just as he was about to leave, a scream came from behind:
"Oh my god! Ye... Teacher Ye!"
