The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 543 Perhaps Trust Once

Facing Ye Chenfeng’s question, Hei Xin’s face, burned by fire, showed no discernible expression to others. After a moment of contemplation, Hei Xin said, "I don’t even have a ten percent chance, but I’ve been waiting for so many years. I can’t keep waiting. I’m afraid if this continues, I will lose myself."

"Ye Chenfeng, the Devouring Empire is a powerful organization beyond your imagination. When I first joined them, I lived like a dog. I have bowed to others, kneeled before them, kowtowed, and even licked other people’s leather shoes. People often say if a man has no dignity, then he has no reason to live in this world."

"But I still survived, clenching my teeth. All I want is to avenge my parents, all I want is for this damned Devouring Empire to vanish from the world. In the process of bowing, kneeling, kowtowing, and licking shoes, I have no regrets. My spine has slowly become able to straighten. After I took the position as the head of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia Country, those who once acted invincible in front of me have been mercilessly sent to meet King Yama by me."

"Ye Chenfeng, pass me another bottle of wine."

As Hei Xin recalled the events of these years, his throat turned exceptionally dry and his eyes slightly moistened. There was a time when he was a carefree young master, a time when he had a happy family, a father who was respected, a mother who was good at managing the household, but alas, all of it has gone forever.

Ye Chenfeng handed Hei Xin another bottle of red wine. He wasn’t surprised that Hei Xin didn’t have even a ten percent chance of eliminating the Devouring Empire. He knew the disfigured man sitting next to him, whose age was indiscernible, had been grinding his way forward through the past six or seven years through gritted teeth and on his knees. If it had been an ordinary person, they might have chosen suicide long ago, but this man had always held a belief in his heart—he wanted to avenge his parents, which forced him to keep living no matter what.

To bow, to bend, to kneel, even to lick shoes for one’s parents is not shameful. In this world, the only people for whom we would bow, bend, kneel, and even lick shoes are our parents who gave us life, the women who bear our children, and the brothers who would really go through fire and brimstone for us.

Watching Hei Xin furiously guzzling the red wine, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Let’s hear it! Do you have a plan? Given the Devouring Empire’s capabilities, they must have already noticed my activities in Country M, right? I suppose the Devouring Empire won’t let me off the hook, and I’m quite interested in why the Devouring Empire has technology that is ahead of the rest of the world." freewebnøvel.coɱ

At that, Hei Xin stopped drinking and looked at Ye Chenfeng. "The Devouring Empire is a very, very mysterious organization. Even as the head of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia Country, what I know about them must be just the tip of the iceberg. Even the Devouring Empire’s supreme ruler, the King, I’ve only seen him once from the past until now."

"I wasn’t planning on taking action so soon, but I really can’t wait any longer. After I took the position of head of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia Country, I found myself lost in power and money at one point. It’s fair to say that now, it’s very easy for me to decide to kill a few people. The taste of having life-and-death power is like poison, which can easily become addictive."

"In two months’ time, the Devouring Empire is going to hold an unprecedented grand ceremony, and it seems that the King is going to announce something. Almost all of the high-ranking members of the Devouring Empire will be there. It’s a great opportunity, and if the King can be killed, then the Devouring Empire will fall apart."

"Ye Chenfeng, are you really willing to take a risk with me in two months?" Hei Xin’s pair of pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Chenfeng.

"I’ve always liked to nip danger in the bud. It’s not about taking risks with you, it’s about taking them for myself," Ye Chenfeng said candidly. He was very aware that his feud with the Devouring Empire was already sealed. Even if he didn’t go looking for trouble with the Devouring Empire, they would probably come looking for him. Moreover, he was truly curious about the organization.

"By the way, Hei Xin, do you really trust me that much? To tell me all this," Ye Chenfeng asked again.

Hei Xin’s thin lips moved slightly, and he said, "From the moment I first noticed you, I instinctively felt you were very special. That’s why I wanted to do everything I could to make you my subordinate. Originally, I did not plan to tell you these things, but after fighting side by side just now, I changed my mind."

A slight curve appeared on Hei Xin’s lips, and his gaze gradually became firm. "Perhaps I can trust once, and entrust my back to you, Ye Chenfeng."

At that moment, all of Ye Chenfeng’s previous distrust of Hei Xin vanished. He patted Hei Xin’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of person who stabs a brother in the back. In two months, let’s eliminate the Devouring Empire from this world together."

Some people need to go through life-and-death trials before they can become true brothers.

For others, a single glance or perhaps a few heartfelt conversations are all that’s needed for them to trust each other completely.

Ye Chenfeng and Hei Xin belonged to the latter group.

Hei Xin stood up from the blood-soaked ground, the sun above causing the fresh blood on his clothes to dry somewhat, and extended his hand towards Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Ye Chenfeng, I’m really looking forward to our next collaboration in two months."

Ye Chenfeng placed his hand in Hei Xin’s, and Hei Xin pulled him up from the ground with force. He casually put his grey mask back on his face.

Under the blazing sun, breathing air that wasn’t particularly fresh, with smiles on their faces that weren’t quite perfect, the trust between the two men who would shake the world in two months had taken deep root.

Some things in this world are just so mysteriously wonderful.

"Ye Chenfeng, see you in two months," Hei Xin’s throat emitted his magnetically charged voice once again.

...

Back at the Ye family villa.

Everyone anxiously waited in the living room for Ye Chenfeng. When they saw him covered in blood, women like Wu Xiaofei, Zhao Wanting, and Ning Yuting immediately had teary eyes and ran to Ye Chenfeng without any concerns for propriety, hugging him tightly without minding the blood on his body.

Seeing the distressed expressions on the faces of the women, Ye Chenfeng smiled somewhat foolishly and said, "Don’t worry, didn’t you see who I am? I am your man! The blood on me is someone else’s. Don’t forget, I’ve also promised to give you happiness. I, Ye Chenfeng, have always been a man who keeps his promises."

Bai Xueling, standing aside, watched as Ye Chenfeng, covered in blood, comforted the women with a smile. For a second or two, she felt a touch of jealousy, perhaps even she hadn’t realized it yet.

The old Mr. Ye, old Mr. Wu, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and Ning Minyan, and others present, very tactfully, did not disturb the embrace between Ye Chenfeng and the women. Instead, they chose to quietly stand still.

Ye Dongjian took out his phone, aimed the camera at Ye Chenfeng and his group, and with a "click", immortalized the scene.

The photo captured a man, his body covered in blood, with an incredibly gentle smile on his face, being embraced by five breathtakingly beautiful women, like a husband returning from a battlefield, hugged by his virtuous and gentle wives—heartwarmingly and beautifully compelling.

The elder Mr. Ye also smiled, his eyes moistening with emotion. He thought of his eldest son, Ye Chenfeng’s father. If Ye Chenfeng’s parents were still alive and saw what their son had become today, they would surely have been very happy, right? (To be continued.
