The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

Inside the main hall, crystal chandeliers shone like a galaxy, and the air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the clinking of glasses.

The moment Jiang Chen and Tang Tang stepped in, the previously relaxed conversation in the hall suddenly subsided.

Dozens of eyes, like searchlights, focused on them.

There was doubt, there was scrutiny, but even more so, there was undisguised contempt.

"How did they get in? Are the security guards at the gate just for show?"

"That guy was dressed in cheap clothes from a street stall, but the woman next to him was gorgeous. It's a pity she ended up with such a poor guy."

Tang Tang nervously gripped Jiang Chen's arm and muttered something under her breath.

"Big brother, they look at me like they want to eat me alive."

Jiang Chen kept his eyes straight ahead and spoke in a flat voice.

"Just a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world."

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of several wealthy young men who were talking nearby.

The group's expressions changed, and they were about to lash out when they saw Ye Tian following behind, his face as pale as paper.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.

Ye Tian never expected things to develop to this point.

He is a member of a collateral branch of the Ye family, and he is in charge of receiving guests today.

Now, the "trash" he personally certified is swaggering in with the highest-level invitation.

And he, like a clown, was nailed to the pillar of shame.

No, I have to get this face back!

Ye Tian took a deep breath, straightened his tie, forced himself to remain calm, and quickly walked over.

"Mr. Jiang, is that right?"

He forced a smile that he thought was very gentlemanly.

"It was a misunderstanding at the door just now."

"However, I'd like to confirm, where did you obtain this Supreme Black Gold Letter?"

"As far as I know, everyone who holds this card is a big shot who can make Haicheng tremble with a stomp of his foot."

"You seem to be out of place."

His words were loaded with implications, suggesting that Jiang Chen's card was of dubious origin.

The surrounding crowd gathered again, ready to watch the show.

Tang Tang was so angry she wanted to curse, but Jiang Chen patted her hand, signaling her to calm down.

He didn't even glance at Ye Tian, ​​but walked straight to the table and picked up a delicate pastry.

"Do you think you're talking to me?"

Ye Tian's smile froze.

"I……"

"Since when did the Ye family's dog dare to bark at its master?"

Jiang Chen put the pastry into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Ye Tian's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

"You! Don't be so arrogant!"

"Let me tell you, this is the Ye family home! Not a place for you to run wild!"

Just then, a calm voice came from behind the crowd.

"Tian'er, step back."

Just then, an old yet dignified voice came from the direction of the main hall.

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

An elderly man dressed in a Tang suit, with gray hair but a sprightly spirit, walked out slowly, leaning on a dragon-headed cane.

He was followed by two bodyguards with calm and composed demeanor.

"Second Master!"

"Master Ye is out!"

The guests bowed respectfully.

Ye Hong.

The second son of the previous generation of the Ye family, and now one of the actual rulers of the Ye family.

When Ye Tian saw the person who had arrived, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he quickly went to greet him.

"Second Uncle! You've come at the perfect time!"

He pointed at Jiang Chen, accusing the villain of making the first accusation.

"This man stole our Ye family's Supreme Black Gold Scroll and tried to force his way into the banquet! I'm preparing to apprehend him and hand him over to the Enforcement Hall for punishment!"

Ye Hong's cloudy yet sharp eyes fell on Jiang Chen.

He ignored Ye Tian and instead looked at the butler on the ground who was still slapping himself in the face.

"What happened?"

The butler, with a mournful face, scrambled to his knees before Ye Hong.

"Second Master! It was...it was my fault for not recognizing your greatness! This gentleman was holding a black and gold letter, but I...I stopped him at the door..."

Ye Hong's gaze returned to Jiang Chen.

He looked Jiang Chen up and down.

Despite wearing cheap street vendor clothes, he exuded an unusually calm and composed demeanor.

Despite being surrounded by hundreds of onlookers and the imposing presence of the Ye family, the young man showed no sign of nervousness.

This kind of magnanimity is not something ordinary people possess.

"young people."

Ye Hong spoke, his voice authoritative without being angry.

"Where did you get this card?"

Jiang Chen's gaze finally shifted from Tang Tang to Ye Hong's face.

He couldn't even be bothered to explain.

"It was a gift from someone."

These three words, seemingly light and airy, are like adding fuel to the fire.

"Was it a gift?"

Ye Tian laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahahaha! Second Uncle, did you hear that? He said it was a gift! Who would give something like this to a convict?!"

"I think he won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!"

Ye Hong's face also darkened.

The distribution of each of the Ye family's Supreme Black Gold Letters is strictly recorded.

Send someone?

Impossible.

He took a step forward and slammed his dragon-headed cane heavily on the ground.

"Young man, I'll ask you one last time."

"Who gave you this card?"

An invisible pressure descended upon Jiang Chenshan.

This is the aura that those who have been in a position of power for a long time have accumulated over the years.

Jiang Chen uttered two words calmly.

"Thunder Tiger".

The murmurs from all the guests fell silent.

The entire manor was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Thunder Tiger!

The Underground Emperor of Haicheng's West District!

That ruthless, cold-blooded dragon crossing the river!

Su Jinyu's pupils also contracted slightly.

Before coming to Haicheng, she had done her homework and naturally knew the significance of the name Lei Hu.

That was a ruthless person whom even the four major families were unwilling to provoke easily.

For the first time, Ye Hong's expression turned serious.

He stared intently at Jiang Chen, as if trying to find a trace of a lie on his face.

Jiang Chen's expression remained calm and even showed a hint of impatience.

"You mean, Lei Hu gave it to you?"

Ye Hong asked, enunciating each word clearly.

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You can call him and ask."

crazy.

This young man must be crazy!

He actually dared to have Master Ye personally call Lei Hu to confront him!

Isn't this just courting death?

What if I'm lying and get caught on the spot? The consequences...

A spark of hope rekindled in Ye Tian's eyes.

"Second Uncle! Don't believe him! He's just bluffing! Who is Lei Hu? How could he possibly know such trash!"

"Quick! Make a call! Expose him in front of everyone! I'll make sure he dies a horrible death!"

Ye Hong ignored him.

He just stared at Jiang Chen for a full ten seconds.

Then, he reached out his hand to the bodyguard behind him.

"cell phone."

The entire audience held their breath.

All eyes were focused on Ye Hong's hand that held the phone.

He pressed the speakerphone button in front of everyone.

Then, I dialed a number.

"Beep...beep..."

The long wait echoed in everyone's heart.

The call went through.

A rough and wary voice came from the phone.

"Who is it?"

Ye Hong spoke in a deep voice.

"Lei Hu, this is Ye Hong."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a hearty laugh.

"So it's Second Master Ye. What brings you here? You didn't even give me a heads-up so I could have welcomed you warmly."

"No need for polite words."

Ye Hong's voice was cold and serious.

"I'm going to ask you something, and you must answer honestly."

"Here I have a young man holding your Supreme Black Gold Letter."

His name is Jiang Chen.

When Ye Hong said the name, his eyes never left Jiang Chen's face.

There was a sudden, deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, a voice filled with fear, awe, and even a hint of flattery rang out from the receiver, echoing throughout the entire manor.

"Master Jiang...Master Jiang?!"

"That card was indeed a gift I gave to Master Jiang!"
