Chapter 1701: Who Wants to Talk to Me?

Seeing Ye Chen with yellow skin and black eyes walk in, although Richard had never met Ye Chen, he immediately guessed that he was from the Ye family, so he said with a fake smile, "This gentleman must be from the Ye family, right?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "I heard a general idea when I came in just now. Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Olivia on the side immediately said, "Ye Chen, this is my father, Prince Richard of the Nordic royal family!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Prince Richard, I wonder what advice you have?"

Richard adjusted his tie and said with pride, "When we made the engagement with the Ye family, we didn't know that your Ye family would have dealings with a mercenary organization like the Wanlong Palace! And our Nordic royal family has always been self-respecting and never has any connection with such gray organizations! Therefore, in order to maintain the royal reputation, we naturally cannot continue to fulfill the engagement with the Ye family. I hope that after you go back, you will bring my words to the head of the Ye family."

As he spoke, he glanced at Helena and added, "As for Helena, since she has already returned, she will stay in the royal family this time and will not return to China with you."

Ye Chen smiled, "Prince Richard, you are just seeing that my Ye family has lost power, so you want to unilaterally break the engagement! Since that's the case, just say it directly. Why go around such a big circle and drag the Wanlong Palace in to step on it a couple of times?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen said with a playful expression, "If the Wanlong Palace knows that you are using them as a shield to break the engagement, and if Wan Pojun gets annoyed and insists on killing you, what will you do then!"

Richard's expression changed instantly, and he panicked in his heart.

He originally wanted to find a reason to break the engagement with the Ye family, but to say directly that your Ye family has lost power now and our royal family doesn't want to play with you—if that spread out, everyone would be able to see that the royal family was untrustworthy and went back on their word.

Therefore, he could only attribute the reason to principles.

The most reasonable excuse was to use the royal family's self-respect as a principle. Since the Ye family had compromised with the Wanlong Palace, it proved that the Ye family had dealings with the Wanlong Palace. The royal family didn't want to be dirtied by the Wanlong Palace, so breaking the engagement with the Ye family was much more reasonable.

However, how could Richard have expected that Ye Chen was such a troublemaker.

Once he said this, Ye Chen immediately insisted that he was using the Wanlong Palace as a shield, and then directly moved the Wanlong Palace out to threaten him, which immediately made Richard lose his composure.

Don't look at how proud he was as a royal prince; if he really faced the Wanlong Palace, he would be scared shitless.

So he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't mean that! Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Chen smiled, "What nonsense am I talking? You said it yourself just now, and so many people heard it. Am I wrong?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring your words to Wan Pojun exactly as they are. As for whether you deliberately stepped on him, let him judge for himself."

Olivia saw Ye Chen actually bringing out Wan Pojun to threaten her father and said angrily, "Ye Chen! Stop talking nonsense here! Your Ye family has a feud with Wan Pojun for killing his father. You were attacked by Wan Pojun, lost your ancestral grave and half your family assets, and it's known to everyone in the world. Now you actually dare to bring out Wan Pojun to threaten others. If Wan Pojun knows that you are using his name to intimidate others outside, I believe he absolutely won't let you go!"

Others heard this and immediately agreed.

After all, the Ye family had just been taught a lesson to death by Wan Pojun. It was indeed very unbelievable that they were still using Wan Pojun to scare others at this time.

Amanlamovich, sitting next to Helena, said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, an engagement itself is a contract. You can choose to fulfill it, and of course, you can choose not to. If both parties set breach of contract terms at the beginning, the party that doesn't fulfill it must compensate according to the terms. If there are no breach of contract terms, it is even more of a free decision! Everyone is a civilized person, there's no need to engage in this kind of personal threat, right?"

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "I ask you, what kind of thing are you? Do you have a say here?"

Amanlamovich didn't expect that Ye Chen, who looked like a greenhorn, would dare to publicly humiliate him on such an occasion!

Ye Chen looked to be only in his twenties, but Amanlamovich was already over fifty, nearly twenty years older than Ye Chen. Being humiliated by Ye Chen like this, he was naturally unable to endure it.

So, he immediately stood up, slapped the table, and cursed, "Ye! Do you know this is Europe? Do you still think this is China? Just because of your rudeness to me just now, do you believe I can let you die in Europe?"

Seeing Amanlamovich's gritted-teeth appearance, Ye Chen didn't speak, but suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and slapped him fiercely across the face. After slapping him, he pushed him backward, causing him to fall head over heels.

Everyone at the scene was stunned and speechless.

No one expected Ye Chen to say he would do it and then actually do it!

Richard, as the host, was also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Amanlamovich also didn't expect Ye Chen to dare to take action against him directly. This slap made him see stars, and falling backward, his whole body's bones felt like they were falling apart. He wanted to say a harsh word but couldn't open his mouth due to the intense pain.

These people at the scene were all so-called European noble gentlemen, believing in the dogma: I can kill his whole family behind his back, but on the surface, I must be polite and not lose the noble demeanor.

But who could have expected Ye Chen's style of doing things to be so rough? Without a word, he just did it, knocking Amanlamovich to the ground in one go.

Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Ye Chen moved a chair and sat in Amanlamovich's previous position, saying coldly, "A mere Nordic royal family, plus a Russian oligarch with assets of only twenty billion dollars, and you think my Ye family is a soft persimmon? The assets of the two of you combined don't even equal one-tenth of my Ye family!"

After saying that, Ye Chen turned his head to look at Amanlamovich and said indifferently, "I know you have some background in Russia and can mobilize some special resources, but I can clearly tell you that with your little strength, you don't even count as a fart in front of me. If you are sensible, honestly move a chair and roll far away to sit down. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead."

Amanlamovich was scared by Ye Chen's coldness, but for a moment, he didn't want to admit defeat in front of so many people.

At this time, Prince Richard on the side was thinking repeatedly in his heart: "Why is this Ye guy so arrogant? Didn't their Ye family just get cleaned up by the Wanlong Palace? Don't they know how to be low-key at all?"

While wondering, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in his heart: "It's over, it's over! I almost forgot! The Wanlong Palace took half of the Ye family's assets. It's impossible for it all to be cash; a large part must be the Ye family's shares! The Wanlong Palace isn't good at managing enterprises, so won't they still have to rely on the Ye family to manage them in the future?"

"According to this, although the Ye family lost half their family assets, the current Ye family and the Wanlong Palace should, to some extent, be integrated and become a community of interests!"

Thinking of this, Richard was suddenly terrified: "No wonder this Ye Chen is fearless! The Ye family is already substantially tied to the Wanlong Palace!" ===== CHAPTER 1702 =====
