Chapter 209: Elder Ye’s Anger

"Dad, something happened!"

Ye Yuanhang wiped his sweat incessantly inside the stretch Lincoln as it sped down the highway.

"Did they fail?"

Mr. Ye knew that Mr. Yu was making a move against the Black Gloves tonight. He had been sitting in his study, waiting for news. However, the news he received was Ye Yuanhang informing him of a disaster!

"It wasn’t just a failure. Mr. Yu and his two assistants were all taken by Thomas! Even I... I..."

"What happened to you? Spit it out!" Elder Ye clutched his chest, genuinely worried that something terrible had befallen his son.

"I almost died! The Black Gloves are terrifying, absolutely terrifying! Dad, how much money do you still have on hand? He gave us one hour. We have to transfer one billion USD to his designated account within an hour!"

Ye Yuanhang truly didn’t have that much liquid capital. Even though Fuxing was a multinational conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, coughing up one billion USD at once was incredibly difficult. It would take time to gather the funds.

Elder Ye took a deep breath. "Come home first. We’ll talk when you get back!"

"There’s no time! He only gave us an hour. If we miss the deadline, I think they’ll slaughter the Ye Family!"

"Calm down," Elder Ye barked over the phone.

"I can’t calm down! I can’t!" Ye Yuanhang roared back. "Do you know what just happened?

"I... I was lifted off the ground by some invisible Power, raised more than twenty meters into the air!

"I wasn’t wearing a wire harness, and there were no ropes. The other party just used some kind of Power to control my body and make me fly! I was suspended twenty meters high!

"And then... then... I fell! So, Dad, I can’t calm down. I really can’t! We can’t fight the Black Gloves. We are no match for them! Please, Dad, let’s just pay them off to buy our peace! I’m begging you!"

As the eldest son of the family, Ye Yuanhang was in a state of absolute panic.

If the opponent were merely a regular Mafia member, a normal human being, he wouldn’t be afraid of anything. But the opponent wasn’t human! They were absolutely not human! This wasn’t a fair fight, and the only possible outcome of this confrontation would be the Ye Family being wiped off the face of North America! That was why Ye Yuanhang simply couldn’t keep his composure.

"Come back and get the money." Elder Ye sighed and hung up the phone.

As the former chairman of the entire Ye Group, Elder Ye naturally had personal savings and even private funds. Now that Ye Yuanhang—and by extension, the Ye Family—had reached a critical moment, he had no choice but to take the money out. However, he was bitterly reluctant to do so! It was one billion US Dollars. With one billion US Dollars, he could run for president! Yet now, he was being forced to hand it over to someone else for nothing!

"This is all because of that security guard from the Continent! Yes, it’s all his fault!

"Ye Ziqiu!" Elder Ye suddenly slammed his hand against the desk in his study.

"Guards! Someone get in here! Bring Ye Ziqiu to me!" Elder Ye bellowed, venting his unbridled rage.

If not for that lowly security guard acting as the catalyst, how could they have lost this one billion USD? His furious roars echoed throughout the entire villa.

Up on the second floor, both Ye Ziqiu and Ye Zisu, who were reading, heard the commotion.

Ye Zisu excitedly threw her door open. "Grandpa, are you calling for Ziqiu?"

"Tell her to come here! Get to my study immediately!" Elder Ye roared.

Ye Zisu’s eyes curved into crescents of malicious delight. She turned to look at Ye Ziqiu and sneered, "In all my years, this is the first time I’ve ever heard Grandpa so furious. What unforgivable, wrath-inducing sin did you commit to let the Ye Family down this badly?

"Did you get knocked up with some bastard child?

"Or, are you sleeping with my brother, Ye Sen? Wow... you are truly shameless..."

Ye Zisu was a typical two-faced, scheming mean girl. The venom she spat was proof enough of how filthy and depraved her mind truly was. Ye Ziqiu seemed long accustomed to Ye Zisu’s shamelessness. Instead of getting angry, she merely gave Ye Zisu a placid look before walking out of the room.

"Heh, closet freaks are always the most indecent ones. You turned down a Prince Charming just to hook up with a lowly security guard. Your tastes are even wilder than mine!" Ye Zisu mocked with a wicked snicker as she trailed behind Ye Ziqiu toward the study.

Ye Ziqiu knocked on Elder Ye’s door.

"Come in! Stop knocking!" Elder Ye bellowed.

"Grandpa, did you need me for something?" Ye Ziqiu asked as she pushed the door open.

"What do you think? Have you contacted that security guard yet? Why haven’t you replied to me?"

At that moment, Ye Ziqiu felt profoundly disappointed in her grandfather. It felt as though, for the first time in her life, she was finally seeing his true colors. This side of him was nothing but hideous and heartless.

"I haven’t been able to reach him yet, but I think he’ll be here soon!"

"Hmph! You can’t even contact him! Useless trash, get out!" Trembling with rage, Elder Ye pointed toward the hallway, ordering Ye Ziqiu to get lost.

Tears instantly welled up and spilled from Ye Ziqiu’s eyes.
