Chapter 1817: Former Hongmen Leader
"I suppose many of you have heard about it, the purpose of this charity event is related to the development and maintenance of a certain area in the Tibetan Area."
Cheng Wentai started speaking.
"President Cheng, what secret does that place hold to make you organize such a large charity event to raise funds?"
Someone directly asked.
Of course, this is what most people present wanted to ask; except for a few, most had no idea what was going on.
Cheng Wentai smiled mysteriously: "Haha, the first item tonight is the charity event, the second is to reveal the truth to everyone. But first, we must proceed with the fundraising activity."
Although super big names attended this charity event, the fundraising activity was very simple and quick, with almost no complicated procedures, they entered directly into the fundraising.
"There’s nothing here, just tricking me into donating money."
At this moment, a voice broke the silence.
Instantly, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the crowd looked at Ye Chenfeng.
Even Zheng Xinyi beside him was dumbfounded; she didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to say such a thing.
Evidently, it was a charity fundraising event, but in his mouth, it became a scam.
Facing the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Ye Chenfeng sat with his legs crossed, indifferently saying: "Am I wrong? Without saying anything, you directly want us to donate, as if it’s a joke? Isn’t this scamming money?"
"Forbidden God King Ye Chenfeng? Really arrogant as rumored!"
"But he has no idea of his own situation; almost everyone here can crush him by simply moving a finger!"
"Don’t assume just because you moved against Hong Pavilion that you think you’re on top; actually, you’re nothing!"
"You don’t have the right to speak in this venue!"
Ye Chenfeng’s words immediately drew public criticism from the crowd.
No matter how famous Ye Chenfeng was, in the eyes of these people, he was still insignificant.
"Seems like this young brother Ye doesn’t understand the rules!"
Zheng Xinyi mentioned a Dragon Ranking expert, Ke Wenjue, who sneered, and his eyes shot two cold beams directly at Ye Chenfeng.
When he saw Zheng Xinyi beside Ye Chenfeng, a peculiar look flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cryptic smile.
"Rules? What rules?"
Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.
"Rules are..."
Ke Wenjue spoke instinctively, unable to articulate anything specific.
After all, many rules or things are observed by everyone themselves, and it’s unrealistic to specifically articulate them.
"See, you don’t know anything either."
Ye Chenfeng touched his nose.
"Ignorant youngster, do you know who you are talking to?"
Suddenly someone shouted, glaring at Ye Chenfeng: "Standing in front of you is none other than the renowned senior, Ke Wenjue, the twenty-seventh expert of the Divine Land Dragon Ranking; even if you’re a young brat, even the Four Great Royal Families of Heaven Group would have to respectfully call him Senior Ke. What are you?"
Ye Chenfeng’s gaze gradually turned cold, and he said lightly, "Repeat the last sentence one more time!"
"What are you! I just said it!"
The one who angrily rebuked Ye Chenfeng was Lei Kuang from the Lei Family, a super family in Central China’s five provinces, famous for his explosive temper.
The Lei Family is a commercial giant, and Lei Kuang, with assets over tens of billions and martial cultivation, naturally can’t stand Ye Chenfeng.
"Slap him!"
As soon as the words ended, Ye Chenfeng moved, instantly turning into a flash, shuttling through the venue.
"Smack smack!"
Two slaps landed directly on Lei Kuang’s face, sending him flying across, his face torn with flesh split open, utterly embarrassed.
After finishing all this, Ye Chenfeng returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.
Most of the people present still didn’t see how Ye Chenfeng attacked, except for people like Ke Wenjue.
"Hmm, he’s indeed among the few geniuses. Initially, I heard he defeated Heaven Group’s Four Great Royal Families’ top Heavenly Realm experts; I thought it was a rumor. Now it seems to be true. No wonder the Four Great Royal Families haven’t acted against him yet, likely having intentions to recruit him. Didn’t expect this brat to dare make a move, truly unexpected."
Ke Wenjue sneered.
"He made a move?"
"This brat acted with disagreement?"
The venue was in an uproar, everyone was surprised.
For a moment, many people’s faces turned black.
Especially Cheng Wentai, the president of the charity foundation, his face turned as dark as coal, because Ye Chenfeng acting publicly was a slap on his face.
Although Cheng Wentai wasn’t a martial expert, his identity is respected by everyone present; even a Dragon Ranking master like Ke Wenjue had to give him face.
Previously, Ye Tianqi and Ye Zilong, Ye Zizi went to Ye Chenfeng’s home, they couldn’t help but complain.
"I think it’s time to teach this brat a lesson!"
"Exactly, he should be kicked out directly!"
"Even if he doesn’t count as someone from the Ye Family, he’s still part of the Ye clan; how would others view the Ye Family, doesn’t the Ye Family want face?"
...
The venue began to get noisy, chaotic.
"Silence!"
Cheng Wentai suddenly raised his tone, and indeed the room instantly quieted down.
Then, Cheng Wentai slowly looked at Ye Chenfeng.
"Mr. Ye, if you have any opinions or suggestions, feel free to express them!"
Cheng Wentai actually spoke with a negotiating tone.
At this moment, Ye Chenfeng saw Ye Tianqi, Ye Jianguo, Chu Renkuang all intensely winking at him, signaling him not to speak.
"Seems like President Cheng is really angry, the calmer he appears, the angrier he is! He’s truly upset this time!"
Someone quietly said beside him.
Ye Chenfeng ignored Ye Tianqi and others, he smiled: "Many opinions and suggestions; first, why am I arranged in such a remote place?"
Zheng Xinyi beside him also angrily glared at Cheng Wentai...
Cheng Wentai laughed instead of getting angry: "Because Mr. Ye, based on your qualifications, you can only sit in this position. Understood?"
"Then on what basis is this qualification judged?"
Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.
"Very simply, three aspects: status, wealth, and strength."
"By these standards, I should be sitting in the first seat."
Ye Chenfeng directly looked towards the front position, where an old man sat, dressed in a Tang suit, turning two Luminous Pearls in his hands.
"Hahahaha..."
As soon as Ye Chenfeng said this, the room burst into laughter.
Ye Chenfeng was quite puzzled, pondering if something had happened.
"Mr. Ye, do you know who is sitting in the first position?"
Someone asked.
"I’d love to hear the details!"
Ye Chenfeng lazily raised his eyelids.
"Seems like this brat is just a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger! Knows nothing!"
"Yeah, I estimate he doesn’t recognize many people here!"
"That happens to be the former Buddha Lord of Hongmen, the only person to have unified Hongmen twice since its founding, first at its inception, and second by the Buddha Lord himself. He’s one of the greatest figures in Hongmen’s history, likely to rank in the top three characters throughout Hongmen’s history. Even though Buddha Lord withdrew from Hongmen, he remains the Northwest master. His status deserves being in the first seat."
Someone explained Buddha Lord’s identity.
Ye Chenfeng’s heart felt slightly shaken; from Diwu Tianqing and Yu Chisu, he learned Hongxing Group (Hongmen) wasn’t unified, there were many overseas branches.
Buddha Lord, confidently turning the Luminous Pearls, seemed unaffected by anything happening around him.
Ye Chenfeng sneered: "Never heard of it! So what?"
Everyone looked at Ye Chenfeng with incredulous eyes.
"Then, according to Mr. Ye, how should the seating be arranged for it to be appropriate?"
Cheng Wentai asked.
