Chapter 1398: Chapter 1372: First Time Using the Token
Wang Xiaocong couldn’t understand why Ye Chen said they didn’t need any help because, apart from the enemies, there was practically no one else who could assist them.
Moreover, he noticed that Ye Chen showed no intention of making a move, which only made him more puzzled.
Xiaoliu felt relieved when Su Wanyi and Ren Xue got into the sports car.
Just moments ago, his boss repeatedly cautioned them to bring both women to her no matter the means, but they must not be harmed in any way.
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words; if fighting broke out, how could one manage to be so considerate?
Seeing the two women sitting in the car, he felt less worried.
Actually, Ye Chen and Xiaoliu were concerned about the same issue, but now the problem was resolved for him, so he had nothing to worry about.
Just when those burly men swung their clubs and were only half a meter away, Su Wanyi and Ren Xue, sitting in the car, were already tense and their hearts were almost in their throats.
Ye Chen said to the system: "System, I want to use the Command Token."
"Host, the token is effective for half an hour and won’t be available for use again until a month later," the system replied.
For Ye Chen, half an hour was plenty; dealing with these people would be more than enough.
Wang Xiaocong had already closed his eyes by this time. If it were just a few people, he might have had a chance, but facing such a large group meant he would certainly get a beating this time.
Ye Chen, however, seemed calm, which puzzled Xiaoliu.
If anyone were to be caught in such a situation, they would certainly be scared stiff.
Xiaoliu saw Ye Chen standing there motionlessly and merely assumed he was paralyzed by fear due to the current situation.
Thinking that this arrangement might actually spare them a lot of trouble.
Just as Xiaoliu thought it would be easy to take Su Wanyi and Ren Xue away, a sudden change occurred.
A group of men in black suits and sunglasses appeared out of nowhere behind him, walking swiftly towards them.
Although they were walking, their speed was incredibly fast, and they quickly arrived in front of the thugs.
Seeing the unexpected emergence of these men in black, Xiaoliu was startled, especially since the area was remote and seldom frequented.
Yet suddenly, so many people appeared, and his heart sank with a bad feeling, fearing they had fallen into a trap.
No wonder Ye Chen appeared so calm and fearless; he clearly had something planned all along.
It seemed they had underestimated Ye Chen, assuming he was just an ordinary young man, and even though Wang Xiaocong had money, he currently had no bodyguards with him, making him seem easy to handle.
In hindsight, this wasn’t the case; they had miscalculated.
Looking at the attire of these men in black, Ye Chen’s tense heart also eased up.
Initially, he had thought that using the Command Token would summon people clad in battle armor, which would surely scare the wits out of everyone here.
Furthermore, if word got out, it could certainly bring trouble for him.
Fortunately, these people resembled modern individuals, unlikely to arouse suspicion.
Wang Xiaocong dared not open his eyes, but he suddenly heard cries of agony.
He felt he hadn’t sustained any injuries, pondering if it was the sound of Ye Chen suffering.
However, upon reconsideration, why would they only target Ye Chen and not him? It wasn’t logical.
Then came another wave of screams, making one’s heart tremble.
The cries continued for a long time, resounding throughout the alley.
The sound was chilling, causing Su Wanyi and Ren Xue to shut their eyes in fright.
They originally thought Ye Chen and Wang Xiaocong might be gravely injured, and the girls were so distressed that tears began to flow.
As Wang Xiaocong continued listening, he felt something was off and abruptly opened his eyes to the sight before him.
Ye Chen was standing there unscathed, watching as the men in black beat down the burly thugs.
He was shocked to see so many men in black appear out of nowhere; they seemed like bodyguards but not quite.
"Brother Chen, what’s going on here?" Wang Xiaocong asked, eyes wide as he looked at Ye Chen.
"What do you mean by what’s going on? Isn’t it exactly what you’re seeing?" Ye Chen replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Wang Xiaocong scratched his head, unable to fully comprehend.
Ye Chen knew Wang Xiaocong wasn’t asking about that, feigning ignorance because he couldn’t reveal the truth to him.
These men in black were summoned through the Command Token, a secret known only to him and the system, and couldn’t be disclosed to anyone else.
"Alright, that’s enough," Ye Chen said coldly.
He only intended to teach these oblivious people a lesson without causing any fatalities.
The men in black, seemingly taking orders, promptly stopped.
Feeling relieved, Xiaoliu sighed in relief.
If these thugs were killed right in front of him, how could he explain it to Bald Brother?
Even if he managed to escape back, he would surely face punishment.
Xiaoliu was acutely aware of Bald Brother’s ruthless nature, which made his spine shiver with dread.
"There’s nothing more for you to do here, leave," Ye Chen said, waving dismissively.
Wang Xiaocong watched in astonishment, not expecting Ye Chen to have such an impressive team of well-trained bodyguards, far superior to those hired by his father.
"Yes, Mr. Ye," the men in black responded in unison.
After speaking, they headed in the direction of the alley, obedient to Ye Chen, who held the token that marked him as their master.
"Brother Chen, did you call all these people?" asked Wang Xiaocong, pointing at the departing men in black.
"Of course, who else could it be but me?" Ye Chen retorted, rolling his eyes at Wang Xiaocong.
Wang Xiaocong agreed with Ye Chen’s assertion, especially since these men had no affiliation with him.
Su Wanyi and Ren Xue couldn’t possibly know these men, meaning it had to be Ye Chen.
The question remained, how did Ye Chen summon these men in black? It piqued his curiosity.
Judging by Ye Chen’s demeanor, he couldn’t possibly divulge the secret, so Wang Xiaocong chose not to inquire further, leaving the question hanging in his mind.
Now the ground was covered with Xiaoliu’s men, watching them writhe on the ground made Xiaoliu’s scalp tingle.
As Ye Chen slowly walked towards him, Xiaoliu’s fear grew, unsure of what was going to happen next.
"Brother Chen, spare me!" Xiaoliu implored nervously.
He had just overheard Wang Xiaocong address the young man as Brother Chen.
"I’m not your brother!" Ye Chen glared fiercely at the trembling Xiaoliu.
"Yes, yes, grandfather, spare me! I admit my mistake!" Xiaoliu pleaded, slapping his own ear as he spoke.
