The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 512 Splendid Prospects

While everyone had yet to recover from their shock, a bodyguard who stood guard at the entrance of the Charnoff family estate rushed in hurriedly and respectfully reported to Rister, "Family Head, a convoy is approaching our estate from not far away. It looks like their destination is here. Should we let them in when they arrive?"

As soon as the bodyguard finished his report, the ringtone from Rister’s pocket sounded. After pressing the answer button, Abert’s voice came through the phone, "Rister, I truly am here to attend the banquet today. You wouldn’t turn me away, would you?" Abert joked on the phone.

"Mr. Abert, are you the only one attending the banquet today? Or are there others coming with you?" Rister queried, because he knew if it were only Abert coming, he certainly wouldn’t need a whole convoy.

"Hahaha!" Abert laughed heartily over the phone and said, "You guessed right. Today, the highest leader of our country also wants to join the fun, so please pay attention to security."

The highest leader of Country M wasn’t that the president? Was the president really attending the banquet today? Given that they were all figures in the underground power circles, invariably clashing with the state apparatus, Abert’s attendance at the banquet was to show respect for Ye Chenfeng. But now, even the president was coming, which showed just how much weight Ye Chenfeng carried in the eyes of Country M’s government.

After hanging up the phone, Rister exhaled heavily and looked at Ye Chenfeng with even more respect. Then, glancing at Berg, who was kneeling on the ground, he wished he could kick the bastard to death right there and then.

"Rister, who was on the phone? You seem a bit pale," Leonard commented, unable to help himself upon noticing the change in Rister’s complexion.

"Leonard, Abert and the president are coming to attend our banquet today. Should we go out to meet them?" Rister asked, his voice trembled a bit. Although he was a man of immense power in the underground circles of Country M, no matter how well you manage within the underground power, if the state is determined to eradicate you, then you can’t escape, even if you had wings.

What? The president is attending the banquet today?

Boom!

The news hit the already shocked crowd like a bombshell, leaving them stunned once more. They couldn’t fathom why the highest leader of Country M would come to a banquet with such an underground nature.

Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney, the heads of the three great families, found their breathing turning unusually rapid. Escaping from the gathering place of the Swallowing Empire, they only knew that Abert had mentioned the possibility of attending today’s banquet. Who could have guessed that not only would Abert show up, but even the highest leader of Country M was here—all because of Ye Chenfeng.

Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney promptly offered their apologies to Ye Chenfeng. Rister said, "Mr. Ye, I just received a call that the leader of our country is coming here. Can we go out to welcome them now? But don’t worry, Mr. Ye, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer for today’s incident."

Seeing Rister so earnest in seeking his permission, Ye Chenfeng knew that with the arrival of Country M’s leader, it was indeed necessary for Rister and the others to go out and welcome them. He also suspected that this visit was probably aimed at him too, so he casually replied, "Alright, you go out to welcome them first."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ye," hurriedly thanked Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney.

Rister barked at Berg, who was kneeling on the ground, "You continue to kneel here for me. If you dare to stand up on your own or try to run away, you and your family will all be implicated in the end."

As Berg kneeled on the ground, his body suddenly shook violently, his face filled with despair. Meanwhile, Zhao Peiyuan of the Huaxia gang, the Lis, and Hillary, the Family Head of the Charnoffs, felt a slight relief when they heard that the highest leader of Country M had arrived. Given the relationship between Ye Chenfeng and the four major families, their fates seemed sealed today. However, now that the highest leader of Country M was attending today’s banquet, they thought it unlikely for a big incident to occur, at least they could escape the ordeal today.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the president of our country has personally arrived. Everyone must ensure the president’s safety later on. Let’s all go out and welcome the president now!" Rister said with a booming voice.

Except for Ye Chenfeng, Li Yaguo, and Berg who was kneeling, the rest followed the Family Heads of the four major families toward the manor’s entrance to welcome the president’s personal arrival.

As they walked toward the entrance, Zhao Peiyuan, Li Hongjiang, Li Yatian, Hillary, and others quietly started discussing among themselves.

"I never expected that kid to have such a relationship with the four major families. It seems my son’s revenge cannot be avenged today. Moreover, I must leave Country M immediately. That kid will definitely not let me off," Zhao Peiyuan said angrily.

"Ah," Hillary sighed, then said, "I should also prepare to leave Country M soon. Li Hongjiang, your useless son is truly remarkable! It seems that your son’s rise in Country M is inevitable. Are you regretting cutting ties with that loser now?" Hillary’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

Li Hongjiang’s face was filled with regret as he spoke to his two sons, "After this, we also should pack up and leave Country M. I know you have not been kind to Yaguo in the past, even wanting his life. If Yaguo truly rises in Country M, you two are likely to die by his hand."

Li Yatian and Li Yanan’s bodies jerked, clearly lacking the confidence they had before. They wished they could kill Li Yaguo immediately, knowing now it was impossible and might never be possible. They realized their father was telling nothing but the truth.

Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli, who were holding the arms of Li Yatian and Li Yanan, looked listless, their once vibrant lips now somewhat pale. They could have never imagined that Li Yaguo, who just a moment ago seemed worthless in their eyes, was on the verge of rising unexpectedly. Both began to reminisce about their past romantic affairs with Li Yaguo.

As everyone headed for the manor’s entrance, Ye Chenfeng patted Li Yaguo on the shoulder and said with meaning, "Brother Li, I think the surprises I have for you are just beginning. There are even bigger surprises waiting for you later."

Li Yaguo, looking at Ye Chenfeng, felt an array of emotions stirring inside him—excitement, uncertainty, panic—all mixing together, yet his mind became increasingly clear. It was inconceivable that the highest leader of Country M would attend a banquet hosted by the four major families. An absurd thought crossed his mind, and with trembling lips, he asked, "Ye... Brother Ye, could it be, could it be that the highest leader of Country M is here for today’s banquet because of you?"

Ye Chenfeng smiled, not answering directly, instead he casually said, "Brother Li, who knows if the highest leader of Country M came because of me? However, when Ye Chenfeng makes a promise, it’s sure to be kept. Brother Li, no matter if you choose to follow me back to Huaxia or stay to develop in Country M, I will ensure you a splendid future."

Now, Li Yaguo had complete faith in Ye Chenfeng’s words. Just by leveraging Ye Chenfeng’s relationship with the four major families, thriving in Country M would be child’s play for him. He was incredibly grateful that he had bravely chosen to stand with Ye Chenfeng without reservations and severed ties with his so-called biological father.

"Brother Li, let’s go out and take a look," Ye Chenfeng said, glancing at Berg still kneeling on the ground. Today he didn’t need to get his hands dirty with such a minor character, knowing Rister and the others would certainly provide him a very satisfying answer. (To be continued.
