CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 178: TAKING THE YOUNG BOY

It had now become an abandoned site, even more disordered inside.

Fortunately, the site was large enough to accommodate three thousand people at the same time.

With a thousand people cleaning up, it would soon be spotless inside.

After everything was straightened out, Lin Nuoyi asked, "Ye Chen, what do we do next?"

Ye Chen looked at the youths and said, "First, we select 100 young people."

Lin Nuoyi nodded, selected one hundred youths, and brought them to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen whispered, "You stay here and watch them, I’ll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

Ye Chen didn’t answer, he walked out with the hundred youths directly.

Ye Chen led the group directly to the west.

After walking for more than half an hour, Ye Chen stopped at a place called Dynasty International Entertainment Venue.

Inside Dynasty International, the lights were dazzling, and four robust men in black suits stood at the entrance.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others, they coldly asked, "Who are you? What do you want here?"

Ye Chen said nothing, his face solemn as he took out an Elder Token.

When the four saw this, they quickly bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Elder, please come inside; Netherworld Hall Master is on the fifth floor!"

Ye Chen replied indifferently, "No need, these are our Cyan Alliance reserves."

"Alright! This way, please!"

A quite perceptive bodyguard led the way for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen walked behind with the group, turning slightly to reveal signs of unease in their eyes.

The interior layout was similar to that of Huihai KTV.

The underground level was very large, with a five-hundred-square-meter lobby furnished with sofas, beverages, and more.

The bodyguards here appeared stunned to see so many people.

The guiding bodyguard said directly, "The Alliance Elder has brought reserve forces here, quickly accommodate them."

A few of them were shocked to hear "Elder", and immediately turned exceedingly respectful.

Ye Chen led everyone to sit on the sofas.

The manager of the underground level approached, her face radiant with smiles.

She was a woman dressed in a very flamboyant style, appearing to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven.

She also had somewhat attractive looks.

She came to Ye Chen’s side, beaming, and said, "Elder, what brings you here today?"

The hostess said this while approaching and leaning close to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did not refuse, instead appearing to enjoy it, laughing, "Bringing the Alliance reserves, hoping we are welcome here?"

"Not at all, you’re very welcome!" the hostess said to a woman.

These people were individuals with very low pet tiers.

To the Cyan Alliance, they held only such a degree of utility.

Ye Chen looked at the youths and smiled, "Everyone, take your pick; these are assets of our Cyan Alliance, you should enjoy yourselves."

The youths were taken aback, and someone sitting next to Ye Chen timidly asked, "Elder, these girls?"

Ye Chen smiled, "These girls were captured by us; individuals with low pet tiers were similar to you before, all reserves."

The youths were shocked again, their faces filled with astonishment.

Someone stammered, "Then, what about us in the future?"

Ye Chen pretended not to hear, saying, "Go ahead and choose."

The youths looked at the many girls in front of them, each one appearing extremely exhausted.

No matter how beautiful, or with how much makeup, nothing could hide their weary expressions.

Ye Chen noticed this as well and said to the hostess with displeasure, "What’s going on? Can’t they eat? Or haven’t they rested well?"

The hostess stood up and scolded the girls, "What are you all doing, perk up! Looking miserable, as if your mothers died!"

Not long ago, they were still basking in parental love, and now they had fallen to this state.

After a round of scolding from the hostess, the girls quickly forced smiles.

For some reason, a girl in the front row still looked sad, and after being scolded, tears started to fall.

Ye Chen pretended to be displeased, frowning.

Seeing this, the hostess’ eyes darted around, beckoning to someone beside her.

A man stepped forward, grabbed the girl, and dragged her into an inner room.

The hostess smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Elder, this one is new and not familiar with the rules; it’s my fault for not teaching well, I’ll have my men train her thoroughly."

Ye Chen understood that the so-called training referenced by the hostess was certainly a brutal beating; he also knew that who knew how many girls had been beaten to death in that underground level.

At this moment, a youth beside Ye Chen stood up and said, "Elder, I like this one, can I have her brought back to me?"

Ye Chen noticed that the other youths also had unusual expressions, very pleased internally; it seemed these people hadn’t been completely brainwashed, retaining their inherent kindness.

The hostess suddenly said, "This one’s a bit unruly, why not choose a better one?"

Ye Chen cast a glance at the hostess, coldly stating, "Let it be him; since this brother likes her, it should satisfy him."

Ye Chen did this also to spare the girl from a brutal beating.

Seeing Ye Chen had spoken, the hostess had no choice but to comply.

Ye Chen then said to the other youths, "How about you guys, have you chosen?"

"Yes, chosen!"

The youths quickly responded.

Ye Chen could see the reluctance and amazement in their eyes.

Seeing the youthful expressions, Ye Chen was very pleased; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Ye Chen led the youths back to the base.

The youths wore various expressions, looking extremely heavy-hearted, with unknown thoughts spinning inside.

Lin Nuoyi noticed their expressions, curiously asking Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, what happened here? What did you do to them? They left excited but now returned so deflated?"

Ye Chen laughed, "I’ll tell you later, I need to take care of some business first."

Lin Nuoyi nodded slightly, stopping where he was.

Ye Chen led the youths to a room.

Ye Chen stood in front of them, and said, "Everyone, have a seat."

The youths sat distractedly on the floor.

Ye Chen stood in front and remained silent.

Finally, one of the youths couldn’t hold back and asked, "Elder, are those really part of our Cyan Alliance?"

Ye Chen lifted his head and said, "Of course, we have more than one such enterprise, there are plenty in Qing County!"
