The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 619: How Long Can You Pretend?
Chapter 619: Chapter 619: How Long Can You Pretend?
When Ye Chenfeng’s uncompromising words reached the ears of the four major family heads, Rister and the others knew there was no room for redemption. After weighing the pros and cons of the entire situation, Rister spoke up, "Fine, Mr. Ye, today the four of us will each leave behind one leg and hope Mr. Ye can look past our previous transgressions."
"I, Ye Chenfeng, am a very reasonable person. As long as you pay the price for what you’ve done, I won’t trouble you further. Would you like me to lend a hand, or will you do it yourselves?" Ye Chenfeng revealed a clean smile on his face. How could he resemble a merciless demon? If he put on a student uniform to go with the smile he had now, he would look just like a model student!
On hearing this, the heads of the four major families immediately shook their heads; they knew if they did it themselves, there was a possibility of reattaching the leg later, but if Ye Chenfeng lent a hand, it would be completely useless. Rister barely managed to force a stiff smile and said, "We wouldn’t want to trouble you, Mr. Ye. Just prepare the tools for us, please."
Ye Chenfeng spoke to Li Yaguo, "Bro Li, there should be kitchen knives in the kitchen, right? Go fetch them for me."
Li Yaguo hurried into the kitchen and came out holding four kitchen knives. Usually, Li Yaguo enjoyed cooking simple homemade dishes, and just recently, he had stocked up on five kitchen knives in the kitchen.
"Bro Li, hand the knives directly to them," Ye Chenfeng said, watching Li Yaguo come out of the kitchen.
Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney took the kitchen knives from Li Yaguo’s hands. These knives simply couldn’t sever their own thighs in one go. Swallowing the bitterness in their throats, Rister had just thought to ask Ye Chenfeng for different tools when Ye Chenfeng spoke up, "I haven’t got all day to dawdle with you here. If you don’t start cutting within ten seconds, I’ll help you."
Ten!
Nine!
Eight!
Seven!
Six!
Five!
...
As Ye Chenfeng counted down the time, his face showed no sympathy while watching the four family heads’ reactions.
Listening to Ye Chenfeng’s countdown, Rister and the other heads gripped the handles of their knives tightly as cold sweat continuously beaded on their foreheads. As Ye Chenfeng was about to finish the ten-second countdown, their emotions collapsed completely, and, as if by mutual agreement, they swung their knives at their own right legs.
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
Blood splattered, and screams filled the air.
To wield a kitchen knife at one’s own thigh was truly something an ordinary person could not do. Rister and the others, with their first cuts, only managed to slice off a chunk of flesh from their thighs. The intense pain caused their foreheads to bulge with veins, and their eyes seemed as if they were about to pop out, filled with the urge to close them and pass out.
"It looks like I must help you out after all!" Having had enough of the spectacle, Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to waste any more time on these trash. His Venerable Level, Initial Stage Soul Force burst forth from his body immediately.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The left legs of Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney instantly turned into a mist of blood, leaving not even fragments of bone behind. They plummeted to the ground, the excruciating pain constantly stimulating their brain nerves, preventing them from passing out, as much as they wished to.
Ye Chenfeng looked down at Rister and the other three, who were lying on the ground gasping for air. He spread his hands and said apologetically, "Gentlemen, I’m sorry that I’ve crippled your left legs. Just now, you all chopped off your right legs yourself. I suppose you wouldn’t have any objections to me, right?"
Lying on the ground and writhing in pain, Rister and the others really felt an urge to bash their heads to death. Who had they offended to deserve this? If they had just let Ye Chenfeng help them from the beginning, they wouldn’t have had to chop off their own legs. In the end, it was Ye Chenfeng who acted anyway.
"Since you all have one leg left, the four of you can get lost now," Ye Chenfeng casually ordered the four Family Heads.
Rister and the others, enduring the intense pain, wanted to kill Ye Chenfeng in their hearts, but they all spoke in harmony, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye."
"By the way, each of you leaving one leg behind is just the price to pay for handing over the Victory Sky Society and the assets under Brother Li’s name to someone else to manage in secret. As for the matter before, what kind of explanation do you plan to give me? You can go back and think about it."
"I’ve always said that I, Ye Chenfeng, am a very reasonable person. So we must separate each issue accordingly. You all agree with that, right?"
Ye Chenfeng’s words once again reached the ears of the four great Family Heads, who had lost an arm and a leg. Blood surged up in their bodies, and they really felt like vomiting blood and dying on the spot. This was simply too shameless, too shameless.
Originally, they were the ones who wanted to harm Ye Chenfeng, but in the end, who actually ended up being the victim? Not only had their sons died without a complete corpse, but now the four of them were also missing limbs. This was truly an extremely miserable affair.
But if Ye Chenfeng hadn’t walked out of the ruins alive, or if he had emerged a day or two later, what would have become of Li Yaguo and Bai Xueling?
Furthermore, Ye Chenfeng had once shown kindness to the four great Family Heads. Was this how they repaid his kindness? For such ungrateful scoundrels, even if treated in the cruelest manner, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t feel the slightest burden in his heart.
After watching Rister and the other three slowly crawl out of the living room, Ye Chenfeng said to everyone, "Clean up this place. I’ll go and treat Bai Xueling’s wounds first."
"Brother Li, do you have any guest rooms upstairs?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
"Brother Ye, there’s a room on the left side of the second floor. I had actually prepared it for you, thinking that you could stay at my place when you come to visit Country M," Li Yaguo told Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng nodded and, cradling Bai Xueling in his arms, walked up to the room on the second floor.
He placed Bai Xueling on the bed in the room. Looking at her dirty clothes and the numerous wounds on her originally delicate hands, he murmured to himself, "Bai Xueling, why put yourself through such suffering? You couldn’t possibly have really fallen for me, could you?"
Ye Chenfeng stretched out his hand and held Bai Xueling’s scarred hand. His Initial Stage King Level Soul Force enveloped her hand, constantly healing the wounds on it. About twenty minutes later, the wounds on Bai Xueling’s hands had healed, scabbed over, and finally regenerated. Her hands were restored to their original state, even more tender and smooth than before the injury.
After treating the wounds on Bai Xueling’s hands, Ye Chenfeng carefully examined her body to confirm that she was just overly exhausted. Only then did he finally feel at ease.
Ye Chenfeng sat down beside the bed, now finally having time to think. From the King, he had learned about King Level Soul Force and higher levels like Venerable Level Soul Force. So, were there even higher levels beyond Venerable Level Soul Force? Many questions hovered in his mind.
After a moment, Ye Chenfeng stretched and said to himself, "Ah, no use in thinking too much about it now. My strength is only at the Initial Stage King Level Soul Force. I haven’t even reached King Level, let alone Venerable Level. Even if there are higher levels beyond that, they are irrelevant to me at present."
Putting all his questions aside for now, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze once again fell on Bai Xueling. Looking at her in her unconscious state, she looked quite adorable, and he couldn’t help but say, "The title of the Capital City’s number one beauty isn’t without merit."
While Ye Chenfeng was talking to himself, Bai Xueling had just woken up and overheard his words. Her mind still slightly hazy, she thought to herself after clearing her thoughts, "Ye Chenfeng, you big bastard, now you realize that I, Bai Xueling, am also a beauty, huh?"
As soon as Bai Xueling’s breathing changed, Ye Chenfeng immediately noticed and thought to himself, "This woman, Bai Xueling, is pretending to be unconscious? Damn it, she really thinks I, Ye Chen, am a soft touch? I want to see how long you can keep up this act?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com.
