Chapter 15 - Hidden Families

"overlords!"

Talking about the Chen Family, He Qiangs face turned ugly.

According to him, the Chen Family is a family that had a long history since the dynasty age hundreds of years ago

Not only that, but they had professionals in all walks of life in and out of the dragon country.

Be it in the military, news, or entertainment, listening to He Qiang say all of this, Ye Tian realized that it wasn't an exaggeration when he said they covered the sky with one palm

However, Ye Tian still felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, if they are as powerful as you said, isn't the Dragon country meant to be surnamed Chen by now?"

"After all, I doubt even the government would be able to act on such a powerful family easily"

"Plus, where do Chen Fan and Chen Beixuan fit in all this? I doubt someone from such a prestigious family would have enough time to be playing gangster and ruffian outside"

"if that's the case, then I look down on the so-called Chen Family"

Expressing his doubts, although Ye Tian felt He Qiang was telling the truth, however, he still felt that something wasn't right

As someone who lived in the Tianxian continent for so long, Ye Tian had encountered one or two hidden families and Chen Fan's behavior was completely unlike someone from one

not only that, but one hidden family couldn't dominate the whole country and no one would know

after all, if they had that much power, they might as well just take over the government

in Ye Tian's eyes, the only reason why such a thing had not happened was either that the government had some hidden hole cards holding them back or there were other powers at the same level keeping each side at bay.

So staring deep into He Qiangs eyes, Ye Tian waited for him to speak, curious to know if his thoughts were correct.

And sure enough, after confirming that Ye Tian had finished speaking, He Qiang let out a nervous chuckle and began to flatter him

"As expected of the young master! You saw through everything before I could explain"

Afraid that he would be killed for not explaining everything at once, He Qiang wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly began to explain.

"Young master, just like you guessed it, the Chen Family isn't the only major family."

"There are also the Fang and Sima family."

Together these three families rule the Dragon County."

"As for the matter of Chen Beixuan and Chen Fan, those two cousins are from a banished collateral line of the Chen family"

"The real Chen family stays in the imperial capital with the other major families." saying this, He Qiang paused to observe Ye Tian's reaction.

Seeing that there was no sign of him dying yet, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking

"However because it is unknown whether they have any connections with the main family, most law enforcement officers and businesses don't dare do anything to them here in Dragon City"

"It is also for this reason that do anything to the Red Tiger gang here, and why Chen Fan can run wild."

Listening to all this, Ye Tian just nodded in understanding.

What He Qiang just said wasn't much too different from what he expected after hearing the kind of power they possessed

The only thing that somewhat surprised him was that this sort of power dynamic existed on the blue star

Thinking that the society they lived in was meant to be a so-called democratic one, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle

"Democracy? Even Oligarchy would be putting the current situation lightly"

"Those three if nothing, just a bunch of parasitic dictators sucking the lifeblood of the country, just like the ones on the Tianxian continent" Ye Tian immured with a clear sarcasm in his tone

However, He Qiang didn't hear any of this as after saying all this, he suddenly realized even if Ye Tian let him go today, the Chen Family would still kill him for betraying them

 Thinking of this, his already calm heart started beating faster

*bang!*

"what are you waiting for, snap out of it, it's getting late"

"take to the red knife gang headquarters, I want this whole ordeal to be over before the sun sets"

Looking at He Qiang who was lost in thoughts, Ye Tian slapped him on the back snapping him out of his trance

"hehe~ sorry young master let's get in the car"

Pointing to the car which was currently filled with the corpses of the other members, He Qiang motioned for him to follow

"Chen Beixuan, Chen Fan, don't blame me, but for my family, I have no choice to betray you"

Murmuring under his lips, He Qiang guided Ye Fan like a butler as he headed towards the car

All the while sweating, swearing to leave all gang-related activities if he survived this time.

…....….

[Dragon City, downtown]

[Midnight Ocean]

Different from the somewhat serious atmosphere in the Ye family compound, deep within downtown, even though it was still mid-day

But a club known as the Midnight Ocean was currently in full swing

All kinds of disco lights dotted the walls and ceilings, loud music played constantly giving the room its own heartbeat and the smell of drugs, alcohol, and smoke waved through the air

On the ground, scantily dressed girls danced and some men constantly sprayed money in the air giving the feeling of a world without care

And in a corner of this club, two men sat with two women in their arms each, exchanging drinks and laughs

"haha cheers to venting your anger cousin"

"if nothing else, Sun Kai and the others should have captured the kid by now"

Said one of the men as a woman fed him a grape.

The other man hearing this smiled in return

"Cheers cousin! To venting my anger!" he replied

A scene if He Qiang were here he would definitely recognize.

These two were other than Chen Beixuan and Chen Fan
