Chapter 1721: Contention

"And I don't have any ability to contend with him; this path won't work."

"Setting aside whether it works or not, have you ever had such a thought?" Chen Yu said leisurely.

"This..." Kawasaki Changye was stunned. If he said he didn't have such thoughts at all, even he himself wouldn't believe it, but this matter was not something he could just admit casually.

"If you have, then say you have. I can help you. There is only one chance; if you miss it, there will never be another opportunity in the future." Chen Yu smiled.

"I don't know who you are, and I know even less about your identity. Why should I believe you can help me?" Kawasaki Changye suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Chen Yu.

"Of course, it is normal for you to have doubts about me. Naturally, I will not force you to believe me." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "However, I can do some things for you to prove my sincerity."

Chen Yu knew clearly that this guy's tone had already changed, and his gaze was different too; this showed that he was already tempted.

In fact, when he came, Chen Yu was not worried at all that this guy wouldn't identify with him, because everyone has desires in their heart.

Moreover, this concerned Kawasaki Changye's life and livelihood, so he couldn't help but agree.

Right now, his old man is advanced in age, and the reason he can still live a life of debauchery is only because of that bit of blood relation.

If his old man steps down and waits for Kawasaki Ye to take the position, then the other party definitely won't tolerate this illegitimate son.

It wasn't that Kawasaki Changye hadn't considered these things, but even if he thought through the pros and cons, he was helpless because he simply had no way to deal with these matters.

He couldn't resist; after his mother was insulted by the elders of the Kawasaki Family and committed suicide, his actions and development were heavily restricted.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about developing and strengthening his own power, but in the end, it always ended in failure.

"What can you do for me?" Kawasaki Changye was tempted. To say he wasn't tempted at all would be a lie, because as long as one is a person, one will definitely have desires, and this wasn't just a simple desire for him, but a desire for survival.

"That depends on whether you have ambition." Chen Yu said leisurely: "Although the Santai Association isn't considered too large, it still occupies a place among the many societies in Fusang. Once you ascend to the position of President of the Santai Association, you will have whatever you want in the future."

"Heh, that's impossible." Kawasaki Changye shook his head and sneered: "The core members of the Santai Association are all loyal to the Kawasaki Family."

"You are also a member of the Kawasaki Family." Chen Yu stared at him and said: "Isn't that so?"

"But I am an illegitimate son. There is no family support behind my mother. Kawasaki Ye is different; his mother comes from a noble background and has the support of the Ichikawa Family behind her. So how could they possibly allow an illegitimate son like me to take the stage?" Kawasaki Changye was somewhat angry.

He felt that this world was not fair, and the starting points between people were fundamentally different.

Just like his older brother, who lived a life surrounded by stars from the moment he was born, and his maternal family was also exceptionally powerful, which destined him to be extraordinary from birth.

But he was different; his mother was merely a woman of the dust in some geisha house, so even though she gave birth to a son for his father, she was still not well-regarded.

"The Ichikawa Family is indeed powerful, but making them fall from their high position is just a matter of a flick of a finger." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Since I am helping you, I definitely have a way to deal with them."

"What do you want?" Kawasaki Changye stared intently at Chen Yu. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The reason Chen Yu was helping him was because Chen Yu had his own goals, and right now he still didn't know what Chen Yu's goal was.

"Can't I just want to help you?" Chen Yu spread his hands.

"Heh, I don't believe it." Kawasaki Changye smiled: "In this world, no one helps a person for no reason, unless it is driven by profit."

"It seems your brain is still quite clear." Chen Yu nodded slightly: "Very well, you are not as much of a fool as the rumors outside say."

"No one is born a genius, and no one is willing to be a fool. The reason I presented myself as a fool was because if I appeared too dazzling, I wouldn't have survived until now." Kawasaki Changye stopped pretending, and the aura on his body changed as well.

He felt a sense of depth; the man before him did not have a simple identity, and he must have means that surpassed ordinary people. Therefore, Kawasaki Changye had to firmly grasp this opportunity; only in this way could he stand out from his situation.

"Good, it seems you have hidden yourself quite deeply." Chen Yu nodded slightly: "Then let me tell you, I represent the Dusong Society."

"You are from the Dusong Society? A subordinate of Ida?" Kawasaki Changye was startled, and he stood up abruptly.

"It is true that I represent the Dusong Society, but I am not Ida's subordinate; on the contrary, he has to listen to me." Chen Yu said leisurely.

"You control the Dusong Society?" Kawasaki Changye was somewhat incredulous.

Currently, there are two major societies in Fusang: the Apocalypse Society and the Dusong Society.

They monopolize most of the domestic resources, so the Santai Association is suppressed tightly; it is very difficult for them to break free from that.

However, the Apocalypse Society has the support of the Divine Way, and the Dusong Society has mysterious political figures behind the scenes. Both sides are not simple, but Chen Yu is a Huaxia person; he shouldn't be that political figure behind the Dusong Society.

"I don't completely control the Dusong Society, but Ida has to take orders from me. Do you understand what I mean by saying this?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Who exactly are you?" Kawasaki Changye steadied himself; this was the umpteenth time he had asked about Chen Yu's identity.

From the moment this man appeared, he felt that this man was different from others. He must possess mysterious power, but Chen Yu had never stated his identity.

"How much do you know about the Dharma Cultivators of Huaxia?" Chen Yu opened his right hand upward into the void, and a ball of flame appeared in his hand.

Although this blue flame was inconspicuous, a wave of heat came from it, making one have no doubt that this flame contained immense power.

One could see this flame constantly tossing and turning in Chen Yu's palm, and finally, it drifted toward a cup in front of him.

With a soft 'chi' sound, the cup in front of Chen Yu turned into a wisp of white vapor and vanished directly, while that flame also disappeared from Chen Yu's hand.

"You..." Kawasaki Changye plopped down into his chair. He looked at Chen Yu in astonishment, unable to say a single word.

He knew quite a bit about mysterious power, but he had never encountered it before, because the things he could come into contact with at his social stratum were limited.

But this move that Chen Yu displayed so casually left him shocked beyond measure.
