"Itâs just that theyâve always been very low-profile, and this Hou Jingwen is the second young master of the Hou Family. The old Patriarch of the Hou family was a big shot who fought in wars alongside the Great Ancestor, and even today, several top leaders hold him in high respect and dare not slight him."
"The old Patriarchâs three sons are also spread across the military, political, and business sectors. The eldest son, Hou Yaoyang, the head of the Hou Family, has already acquired significant political achievements and wields great prestige in the political realm."
"The second son, Hou Yaoxing, is the CEO of the Hou Corporationâs pharmaceutical business, the leading company in Huaxiaâs pharmaceutical industry, and he has branches in many cities abroad, his real strength fully on par with that of the Century Group and our Qin Clan."
"As for the Hou Familyâs third son, Hou Yaochen, he holds an important military position. Besides these three, other collateral relatives of the Hou Family also occupy significant positions in various industries. Would you say the Hou Family isnât formidable?"
After listening to Qin Yuruâs introduction, Luo Jingxuan and Ling Qingya both had somewhat grave expressions on their faces, not expecting this playboyâs background to be so strong.
However, Ye Luo still had a nonchalant look on his face as he spoke, "Wife, donât worry about it. No matter how powerful these family forces are, if they offend me, provoke me, I wonât be courteous to anyone, regardless of who they are, even if itâs the Heavenly King himself, I wonât hesitate to strike!"
"Youâre really not afraid of anything, are you?" Qin Yuru couldnât help but say, looking at Ye Luo.
"Who says that? What Iâm most afraid of is my wife!" Ye Luo said with a playful smile on his lips, wrapping his arms around both Qin Yuru and Ling Qingya. Their faces turned red with blush. On the side, Luo Jingxuan watched this scene, but her expression revealed a touch of complexity.
"Mr. Ye, youâre here too!"
Just then, a surprised voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked over quickly. It was Li Tiancheng, the chairman of the Macau Li Corporation.
"Itâs you!"
Seeing Li Tiancheng, Ye Luo was taken aback, his mind involuntarily recalling the Five Elements Sect. It seemed that since they dispatched a first-level expert from the Saint Realm last time, they hadnât sent anyone else over, leaving him wondering what they were up to.
Thinking of this, Ye Luoâs eyes took on an odd expression as he watched Li Tiancheng.
"Chairman Li!"
Seeing Li Tiancheng, the three women called out in unison, and he nodded slightly, turning his gaze to Ye Luo.
"Mr. Li, what brings you here?" asked Ye Luo.
"Oh, I just happened to be in Capital City to handle some matters, and I came across this economic summit. I was invited, so I came over. I didnât expect to run into Mr. Ye here," Li Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, it so happens that I have something that Iâd like to consult with you about," Ye Luo said, looking toward Li Tiancheng.
"Mr. Ye is too polite. Whatever it is, I will surely inform," Li Tianchengâs attitude was very sincere, devoid of the air and imposing manner befitting of the richest man in Macau and chairman of the Li Corporation.
"How much do you know about the Five Elements Sect?"
Ye Luo asked with a smile.
In an instant, Li Tianchengâs face changed, his pupils contracted, and his eyes revealed a look of shock as he looked at Ye Luo.
"What is Mr. Ye talking about? What Five Elements Sect?" Li Tiancheng feigned ignorance.
"President Li, are you not planning to tell the truth, or do you need me to make you talk?"
Ye Luoâs expression darkened, and he looked at Li Tiancheng with an indifferent face.
Li Tianchengâs body trembled, and he whispered, "If Mr. Ye does not want to invite big trouble, itâs best not to ask about this matter anymore. Even if Mr. Ye kills me, I am unable to disclose anything. I ask for Mr. Yeâs forgiveness."
After Li Tiancheng finished speaking, he quickly left the area. Ye Luoâs eyes narrowed, glittering with sharpness.
Several minutes later, the Huaxia Economic Summit officially began. First, the host of the summit, Wei Yandong, CEO of Huatai Group, and several other business magnates took turns giving speeches.
Then, some well-known business representatives were invited onstage to share their insights into commerce, among whom Qin Yuru and Hou Jingwen also gave speeches. However, Ye Luo found it so boring and uninteresting that he was almost falling asleepâthis summit truly failed to keep his interest.
Boom!
Just as Ye Luo was about to fall asleep from the monotonous speeches, a sudden boom sounded, and the doors of the summit were blasted open.
The intense booming sound startled everyone at the summit, and it instantly woke Ye Luo from his drowsiness.
All eyes in the room swiftly turned toward the back. They saw that once the doors were forced open, a group of people in military uniforms strode in. They all had sharp gazes and were exuding an aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness. These individuals had a robust presence, indicating that each one was a skilled expert.
With a glance through his Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo identified all of them as experts in the Innate Late Stage. Each of them had formidable combat abilities and energy, full of killing intentâclearly, they had all taken lives before, and not just a few. They were indeed masters with power comparable to the Innate Peak Stage.
Once this group entered, they stood upright on both sides with intimidating authority, deterring all the attendees, even the security staff at the venue dared not approach.
Shortly after, a striking woman in a military uniform walked in, her aura potent. She had short, sharp hair and a refined face, brimming with heroic vigor, like a modern-day Hua Mulan.
She exuded an overwhelmingly powerful aura, and her eyes sparkled with deterrence, making it difficult for anyone to look directly into them.
Seeing this woman, Ye Luo knew she was a formidable, even somewhat defiant figure. Her strength had reached the third level of the Saint Realm, and she was only in her mid-twenties. Such astonishing power at her age truly indicated a heaven-defying talent.
Beyond her extraordinary strength, this womanâs appearance and figure were also of the finest quality. Her military uniform enclosed a proud chest, at least a D cup in size; a waist cinched like a willow by a belt, overwhelmingly long legsâmost certainly a nine-headed body ratio.
Such a figure would set the modeling world ablaze even if she were not a soldier. However, as Ye Luo was indulging in his reverie, the womanâs first words took him by surprise.
"Who is Ye Luo? Show yourself!"
Then the womanâs pupils tightened, and she spoke with a voice as resounding as thunder, startling everyone present and causing their gazes to freeze.
"Why has this woman come here?"
Hou Jingwen, sitting on the side, looked at the woman in the military uniform. His expression first showed surprise, then hearing her follow-up words, his heart jolted, and a smug expression appeared on his face.
"So this guy has offended this tyrannical woman; now heâs done for."
With excited eyes, Hou Jingwen glanced at Ye Luo, who was also stunned by those words.
