Chapter 1622: Strength

"Bastard..." Kawasaki Ye was furious. He swung a heavy slap across Yamaguchi's face and roared, "What kind of person is Mr. Chen? Is he someone you can disturb? Apologize to Mr. Chen immediately."

This slap was not light; although it did not knock Yamaguchi's teeth out, it scared the guy quite a bit.

He fell to his knees with a thud and apologized to Chen Yu in a panic: "Mr. Chen, I am very sorry. I did not know you were a distinguished guest of Young Master Kawasaki. I'm sorry."

Chen Yu glanced at him without speaking, but this look made Yamaguchi uneasy. He looked at Kawasaki to the side in terror, not quite understanding what Chen Yu meant.

"Baka, be more sincere. If Mr. Chen does not forgive you, go commit seppuku now." Kawasaki Ye was furious and slapped Yamaguchi across the face with a *smack*.

"Mr. Chen, I sincerely beg for your forgiveness." Yamaguchi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chen Yu several times with a *thud, thud, thud*.

He kowtowed with genuine force; after a few hits, he had knocked his own head until it was bloody.

Then, fearing that Chen Yu would not forgive him, he knelt on the ground and began to slap his own face, one hit after another.

"Mr. Chen... he is just a dog. Please don't lower yourself to his level. If you are not satisfied, I will have them all killed right now." Kawasaki Ye squeezed out a smile, terrified that Chen Yu might be unhappy.

"Get them out of here." Chen Yu waved his hand and sat back into the hot spring.

"Get out quickly, don't let Mr. Chen see you again. And you few, clean this place up; don't ruin Mr. Chen's mood for bathing." Kawasaki Ye hurriedly ordered.

The few men, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly thanked him profusely and walked away. The remaining few cleaned up the blood on the ground at top speed, and the place instantly became clean.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything else you need handled? If it is convenient, I would like to dine with you." Kawasaki Ye rubbed his hands together: "I wonder if it is convenient for you, Mr. Chen?"

"It's not convenient today, another day. Alright, nothing else, get lost." Chen Yu waved his hand, looking as if he were shooing away flies.

Kawasaki Ye did not feel that Chen Yu's actions were inappropriate at all. He nodded and bowed repeatedly, thanked him, and left the place with his men.

Throughout the entire process, Chu Jin stood to the side, watching everything that happened before his eyes. It was not until these people left that he reacted.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Yu had changed. He stuttered, wanting to say something but unable to get it out.

"What, is there something else you want to ask, or something you want to say?" Chen Yu glanced at him.

"Chen Yu... you, how are you... so powerful?" After stuttering for a long time, the guy finally squeezed out a sentence. He had never dreamed that Chen Yu would have such powerful connections in Fusang.

"Powerful? This isn't considered very powerful; it was just teaching a few dogs a lesson. This isn't anything remarkable." Chen Yu smiled: "It's you, I didn't realize you had such strong connections in Fusang."

"No, my connections here are just one line, truly average." Chu Jin swallowed his saliva. He dared not go against Chen Yu anymore; after all, he was the one bluffing, but Chen Yu was the real deal.

Yamaguchi was merely the person in charge of a small branch of the Santai Association, but to him, such a person was already an unreachable existence.

Not to mention Kawasaki Ye, who was the young master of the Santai Association; there was no need to mention how strong his power was.

But he never dreamed that this guy would be like a dog in front of Chen Yu, timid and submissive, and he dared not refute anything Chen Yu said. This made Chu Jin feel very shocked. Thinking of his own attitude toward Chen Yu just now, he couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times.

"Chu Jin, let me teach you one thing: in life, one must be pragmatic." Chen Yu stood up slowly: "By the way, you changed your nationality now?"

"Yes, yes, developing here... developing quite well, so I changed my nationality." Chu Jin nodded repeatedly.

"Fine then, abandoning your family and forgetting your ancestors." Chen Yu sneered: "People like you are the most contemptible. Thank you for the treat, it's better if we don't meet again in the future."

"Don't be like that, Chen Yu, it's not easy for us old classmates to meet..." Chu Jin was anxious.

Judging from Kawasaki Ye's performance just now, Chen Yu was definitely a big-shot figure.

He was single-mindedly trying to climb up, but his path was average. Now that he had finally met an acquaintance with such great influence, how could he not cling tightly to his thigh?

"That's enough, we are simply not in the same social circle, remember that, Chu Jin." Chen Yu said: "It's not wrong for you to want to climb up, and it's not wrong to want to get to know some powerful connections."

"But the premise is that you have equivalent resources to exchange with the other party. Only then can you enter someone else's circle."

"Connections are not just about having eaten a few meals or drunk a few times to become connections; that is far from enough."

"Yes, you are right." Chu Jin barely squeezed out a smile.

"If you don't have equivalent resources to exchange with the other party, in their eyes, you are just a gun that can be discarded at any time—used and then thrown away. Work hard, you are still very far behind." Chen Yu patted Chu Jin's shoulder and then left the place.

Watching Chen Yu leave, Chu Jin's expression slumped. To say he didn't regret it would be a lie. If he hadn't been so boastful at the beginning, perhaps Chen Yu would have a different attitude toward him now.

Two days passed in a flash. Chuan Naizi invited Chen Yu to go out in the evening. In a small bar, the two took their seats.

"Have you read the news from the past few days?" Chuan Naizi ordered a cocktail and asked.

"I don't have the habit of reading the news. Mainly because I can't understand it, and I'm not interested." Chen Yu shook his head.

"You don't even pay attention to the situation at the Chinese Association?" Chuan Naizi glanced at Chen Yu.

"What does the situation at their Chinese Association have to do with me?" Chen Yu was somewhat confused.

"Huang Hong was brought down by you single-handedly. Originally, everyone thought you would become the president of the Chinese Association, but I didn't expect that after you brought Huang Hong down, you wouldn't care about these things anymore." Chuan Naizi said somewhat helplessly: "Are you just going to let them fight savagely?"

"I drove Huang Hong out of office simply because I couldn't stand him." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "What is my status? Do you think I should be interested in these things?"

"With your status and position, you indeed shouldn't be interested in these things." Chuan Naizi nodded slightly and said: "But you created a mess and just left it behind?"
