Ye Yuansen looked inscrutable. Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's words, he began to laugh, mistaking Ye Kunlun's intent as fear and a desire to appease him.
Thinking this, Ye Yuansen chuckled and stared at Ye Kunlun, saying, "Ye Kunlun, you are my nephew after all. As long as you kneel and apologize to your uncle, your uncle will accept your gift and forget about past grievances. What do you say?"
If Ye Yuansen could subdue Ye Kunlun without shedding a single drop of blood, he would naturally be pleased.
Ye Kunlun couldn't help but laugh, genuinely curious about Ye Yuansen's thought process.
"Haha." Ye Kunlun guffawed, "Ye Yuansen, have you gone senile? Can't you understand the meaning behind my words?"
"Boy, how dare you!"
Ye Yuansen's personal bodyguard, hearing Ye Kunlun's insolent words, blurted out a reprimand, "Patriarch, allow me to teach this ignorant brat a lesson first!!"
"Ye Kunlun, since you refuse to be sensible, then your uncle will discipline you in place of your deceased parents!"
Ye Yuansen adopted a senior's demeanor.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kunlun's gaze deepened. He coldly stared at Ye Yuansen and said in a chilling tone, "You? Are you worthy?!"
"Kid, hurry up and kneel before the Patriarch!"
The bodyguard let out a stern shout, flashed forward, and moved like lightning, directly attacking Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun maintained a cold expression, remaining completely still.
Only when the bodyguard closed in did Wu Dao, standing beside Ye Kunlun, make his move.
Boom boom boom—
Wu Dao's fists were like falling rocks from the heavens. In an instant, he delivered three blows, meeting the opponent's fists.
Each successive punch was stronger than the last, the wind from the blows surging higher and higher!
After three punches, the accumulated force had reached a terrifying critical point.
With a scream, Ye Yuansen's bodyguard's chest was reduced to a bloody mess by Wu Dao's fists. His body was sent flying straight out, plunging into the sea!!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The crowd hadn't even had time to react.
The bodyguard, hired by Ye Yuansen at great expense, couldn't even withstand three of Wu Dao's punches before falling into the sea, his fate unknown.
Ye Yuansen's expression turned grim, his eyes revealing a deep ferocity. He had long known that Wu Dao, who stood beside Ye Kunlun, was powerful.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind to invite Daoist Lingzhu from the Lingzhu Temple to act after the exchange meeting.
However, before the exchange meeting even began, Ye Kunlun had come aboard the ship himself.
"Ye Yuansen, is this all your man can do?" Ye Kunlun sneered mockingly.
"Ye Kunlun, what do you want?" Ye Yuansen, being a man who had seen his share of major events, quickly calmed down.
"It's very simple. I'm here to disrupt today's event and prevent you from becoming the president," Ye Kunlun said dismissively, gazing at Ye Yuansen.
"You dare." Ye Yuansen snorted coldly, but his voice was full of confidence. "This is the Pearl, belonging to the Northern European royal family. Fighting and brawling are strictly prohibited here!!"
In fact, the commotion had already alerted Captain Ellis, who was rushing over.
"Yes, I've heard too. The Pearl does not permit any acts of violence. It's said that three years ago, the eighteenth prince of the Northern European royal family got drunk and caused trouble on the Pearl, only to be thrown into the sea to sober up!"
"I've indeed heard about this. Afterward, the eighteenth prince was confined by the Northern European royal family for three months!"
Hearing Ye Yuansen's words and the surrounding discussions, Ye Kunlun smiled and said, "I told you, I'm going to disrupt your event today!"
Qian Rourou looked worried and whispered a reminder in Ye Kunlun's ear, "Sir, the Pearl indeed prohibits physical altercations. Perhaps you should disembark first..."
"Rourou, why are you telling him this?" Liu Meng quickly stopped her best friend. "I think he just wants to show off using the Pearl."
"Sir, please listen to me..." Qian Rourou continued.
Ye Kunlun glanced at her indifferently, saying nothing.
"Captain Ellis is here, now there's a good show to watch."
"Yes, I think this kid will definitely be thrown into the sea by Captain Ellis!"
"I heard that Captain Ellis was once a knight, very powerful, and has a notoriously bad temper. He'll surely teach him a lesson!"
The guests watched with amusement.
Ye Yuansen also wore a cold smirk, as if he could already see Ye Kunlun being taught a lesson by the Pearl's captain, Ellis.
Seeing that Ye Kunlun was not heeding her advice and was acting stubbornly, Qian Rourou felt a pang of annoyance.
"Who is causing trouble here?" Ellis asked in fluent Chinese, his face contorted with anger.
Ye Yuansen hurried towards Ellis, speaking respectfully, "Respected Captain Ellis, I am Ye Yuansen, the Patriarch of the Ye family. I have booked the Pearl for two days, but someone is here to disrupt my event. I request Captain Ellis to intervene!!"
Upon hearing this, Ellis's gaze fell upon Ye Kunlun's back, and he said angrily, "Dare to cause trouble on the Pearl, are you courting death?"
As Ellis spoke, dozens of sailors immediately surrounded them.
These sailors were all tall and burly, clearly former retirees from the Northern European Knight Order, now serving the Northern European royal family on the Pearl.
With just a command from Ellis, they would rush towards Ye Kunlun and throw him into the sea!
Although Qian Rourou was somewhat displeased with Ye Kunlun's arrogance, she still walked towards Ellis.
After all, her illness depended on Ye Kunlun, and Ye Kunlun absolutely could not be in trouble at this time.
"Captain Ellis, it's a misunderstanding. My friend means no harm."
Qian Rourou pleaded with Ellis on Ye Kunlun's behalf, hoping Ye Kunlun would not escalate the situation.
"Miss Qian's friend?"
Ellis glanced at Ye Kunlun's back, his brow furrowed deeply. He said loudly, "As long as he doesn't cause trouble, I won't interfere. But if he does, no one can break the rules of the Pearl!!"
Qian Rourou hoped Ye Kunlun would back down, as she couldn't command Ellis.
When Ye Yuansen heard Ellis's address to Qian Rourou, especially the surname "Qian," his heart stirred, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Captain Ellis, he is not welcome here. Please escort him off the ship first!"
Ye Yuansen said to Ellis with a smile. The matter of his election as the President of the Qingcheng Chamber of Commerce was the priority right now.
Once he became president, he would deal with Ye Kunlun at his own pace.
Ellis nodded and walked towards Ye Kunlun. "Since Mr. Ye does not welcome you, please leave the ship immediately. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Ye Kunlun slowly turned around, his gaze calmly falling on Ellis, who was approaching with several sailors.
"Sir, please don't cause any more trouble." Qian Rourou was anxious.
Upon seeing Ye Kunlun turn around, Ellis froze instantly. Those seasoned eyes revealed deep shock, and even a trace of fear!!
"Master!"
Ellis fell to his knees with a thud, his eyes red. "Ellis pays his respects to Master!"
The entire Pearl fell silent. Everyone was stunned speechless by the sudden turn of events.
Ellis, the captain of the Pearl, was a person of the Northern European royal family, yet he called Ye Kunlun master. This was utterly unbelievable!!
The expressions of Ye Yuansen, Qian Rourou, and others were even more extraordinary.
Clearly, this scene was beyond their wildest imaginations...
