The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 513 Endless Regret

When Ye Chenfeng and Li Yaguo also arrived at the entrance of the manor, Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney, the heads of the four major families, along with everyone attending today’s banquet, stood quietly at the entrance, each of them standing tall and looking very spirited.

Not far away, a convoy was slowly approaching the manor: a seven-meter-long bulletproof Cadillac was steadily driving right in the middle of the convoy. Inside this very secure Cadillac, there were two men from Country M—one of them was Abert, and the other, a man in his forties who looked quite majestic, was the supreme leader of Country M. His name was Miller.

"Abert," said Miller, speaking in an even tone as he looked through the window at the crowd greeting him at the manor’s entrance, "is the young man from Huaxia Country really as miraculous as you say? Can he really influence the future development of our Country M?"

"Mr. President, Ye Chenfeng’s strength is ridiculously powerful, and he also possesses special abilities. I think in the future he will reach heights that no one else can match, possibly even the peak of this world. Countries like ours should befriend such a person, which is why I suggested we maintain good relations with Huaxia Country," replied Abert earnestly.

Miller frowned slightly and after a silence of three or four seconds, spoke again, "Abert, to be honest, based on what you’ve said, we should eliminate this young man from Huaxia as soon as possible. Letting him grow stronger poses a huge threat to our country."

Abert quickly said, "Mr. President, unless you are one hundred percent certain you can take Ye Chenfeng’s life, if you’re not completely sure, I advise you to abandon this notion. Ye Chenfeng’s individual combat capability is terrifying, and I believe his assassination skills are no different. If that happens, Mr. President, you might face endless retaliation from Ye Chenfeng, or even be assassinated by him."

Miller sighed and said, "Abert, I hope you’re right. This time I’m willing to lower my stance and properly interact with this young man from Huaxia Country you speak of. If you hadn’t painted his abilities as so fantastical, I would definitely not have come here personally today."

"Mr. President, just wait and see! I’m confident I haven’t misjudged him. The achievements Ye Chenfeng will create might be unsurpassable by predecessors or successors." Abert’s view of Ye Chenfeng had transformed from disdain to fear and eventually to respect after personally witnessing Ye Chenfeng’s power, leading his opinions to change time and again.

As the convoy drew closer to the manor entrance, everyone’s gaze became excited and fervent. They had never imagined that one day the supreme leader of their nation would attend an underground gathering of this nature. For a moment, everyone felt it was an honor for the four major families that the President of Country M made a personal visit.

When the convoy came to a halt at the entrance of the manor, the central Cadillac didn’t immediately open its doors. Instead, many fully armed soldiers quickly got out of the vehicles in front and behind the Cadillac. Only after all the soldiers were ready did the driver of the Cadillac step out to open the doors for Miller and Abert.

Everyone at the entrance of the manor, upon seeing that it truly was the President himself, began to breathe more rapidly, staring blankly at Miller and Abert as they walked towards them step by step.

Fully armed soldiers were consistently at the side of Miller and Abert for protection. Abert, spotting Ye Chenfeng at the back of the crowd at the entrance, whispered a few words to Miller, who nodded and fixed his gaze on Ye Chenfeng through the crowd.

As Miller and Abert, protected by the soldiers, made their way to the manor entrance, Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney immediately greeted Miller in the most respectful manner, followed by others at the entrance who also greeted Miller. Only Ye Chenfeng remained indifferent, standing at the back; beside him, Li Yaguo’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he thought to himself, "Did the President of Country M really come because of Brother Ye? Did the President of Country M really come because of Brother Ye?"

Miller acknowledged the greetings from the heads of the major families with polite nods, but showed no intention of stopping, continuing to walk into the manor with steady steps.

All those present couldn’t help but doubt the scene before them. If Miller had attended today’s banquet simply out of respect for the heads of the four major families, then logically, Miller wouldn’t have just nodded casually.

Everyone cleared a path for Miller and Abert, and at the end of the crowd, Ye Chenfeng and Li Yaguo suddenly drew all eyes. Many looked incredulously as Miller and Abert made their way toward Ye Chenfeng. Could it be that the President came here for this young man from Huaxia Country? That would be too absurd, wouldn’t it? What could the young man from Huaxia Country have done to deserve such recognition?

As Miller and Abert drew closer to Ye Chenfeng, Li Yaguo, who stood by Ye Chenfeng’s side, breathed increasingly erratically through his nose. It was true—all of it was true. The highest leader of Country M had really come to attend today’s banquet because of Brother Ye.

People like Hillary, Zhao Peiyuan, and the Lis went blank. If Miller really came here today because of Ye Chenfeng, then it was inevitable they couldn’t escape their fate today. They prayed that what they feared most wouldn’t happen.

But they were bound to be disappointed. Miller stopped right in front of Ye Chenfeng, his pace slowing to a halt, and with a surprising smile, said, "I believe you must be Mr. Ye Chenfeng? I owe you thanks for helping to destroy the base of the Devouring Empire. I heard about your incredible feats from Abert and made a special trip here today to express my gratitude to Mr. Ye." Miller extended his hand politely toward Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng smiled slightly and extended his hand to shake with Miller, saying, "This operation was a joint effort by several countries to eliminate the base of the Devouring Empire. I simply did my duty."

Miller looked at the young man from Huaxia Country before him, whose demeanor was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and his smile seemed even more natural as he said, "Mr. Ye, it’s rare for me to attend a banquet of this nature. I must have a few drinks with you later, and I do hope you will oblige me."

The fact that the President of Country M was so courteous to a young man from Huaxia Country could perhaps no longer be described as mere courtesy. Everyone watching was astounded, their eyes wide in surprise. This seemingly innocent-faced young man from Huaxia Country, who had been scorned by them all and was expected not to survive the day, had proven them wrong.

Meanwhile, a miracle had occurred. The heads of the four major families had treated this young man from Huaxia Country with utmost respect, and while they had not yet recovered from their surprise, they learned that the highest leader of Country M was coming. Gradually, they turned their attention away from Ye Chenfeng.

But quite unexpectedly, while they thought Miller was here out of respect for the heads of the four families, it turned out to be because of Ye Chenfeng, the young man from Huaxia Country. And seeing Miller’s lack of presidential air when facing Ye Chenfeng made them wonder deeply about the situation.

For Hillary, Zhao Peiyuan, and the Lis, the last glimmer of hope was shattered. One by one, their faces filled with panic. Whom had they offended to have provoked such an unbelievable character as Ye Chenfeng?

At this moment, Li Yaguo’s father, Li Hongjiang, was filled with more regret than he could bear. Not only was Ye Chenfeng deeply connected with the four major families, but the President of Country M also held him in such high esteem? If only he had listened to his younger son, Li Yaguo, from the start, would today have been a different story?

Endless regret filled Li Hongjiang’s chest, leaving him feeling as if he couldn’t catch his breath. But in this world, there is no antidote for regret; one must pay the price for their actions.
