Chapter 17

Yeting Chen activated the strange energy within his body, continuing until around four in the morning before gradually falling asleep, drenched in sweat. Indeed, he found that this body could carry very little strange energy, and the energy core in his brain barely fluctuated. Forcing the thin strange energy within his body to surge was impossible. Only through life-and-death battles could he improve and become stronger, gradually reaching the realm of a divine-level strange energy master. This required a step-by-step approach.

Bang, bang, bang! A loud knocking sound came from the door, disturbing Yeting Chen. After doing so much last night and refining strange energy until four in the morning, he had just fallen asleep and was not yet in a deep slumber when he heard the knocking. He was quite frustrated.

"Brother, brother, wake up, wake up!" Yeqian Wen knocked on the door forcefully and shouted loudly.

"Little sister, can't you let your brother sleep in? Don't call me for meals; I plan to sleep until I wake up naturally," Yeting Chen said with a heavy yawn.

"Hey, brother, you're not keeping your word. You said you would take me to school this morning. Are you trying to back out?" Yeqian Wen stood outside the door, pouting her cute little mouth, wishing she could bite her brother, Yeting Chen.

"What? I take you to school? No way, I don't remember promising you that."

"Hmph, if you don't keep your word, you'll turn into a puppy, a mangy dog. I'll tell Mom."

Hearing his sister Yeqian Wen speaking angrily and running down the stairs, Yeting Chen yawned and got out of bed. From a young age, he had always been very fond of his sister and would definitely keep his promises to her.

After breakfast, Yeting Chen took his sister Yeqian Wen to Jingdu High School by bus. It wasn't that the Ye family couldn't afford a car; even if the family had declined, they could still enjoy a middle-class lifestyle. However, Ye Hong and his wife believed that children should experience the ups and downs of life from a young age to become stronger and gain more life experience.

"Brother, I heard Dad say you're now the chairman of the Sea King Group. Can I be your secretary in the future?" Yeqian Wen asked with a smile.

"Well... I'm afraid that's not possible," Yeting Chen said after some thought.

"Why not?" Yeqian Wen asked, her cute little face turning serious.

"Men hire secretaries to have mistresses. After I become chairman, I'll definitely hire ten or eight beautiful secretaries. If there's any scandal, you'll immediately go home and tell on me. So you can't work in my company," Yeting Chen said with a grin.

"Hmph, you're so bad. I'll tell Mom and Dad tonight," Yeqian Wen threatened with a mischievous smile.

"Hehe, you want to tell on me, but you have no evidence. I'll just deny it."

"You... you're too bad. I won't talk to you anymore!"

On the way, Yeting Chen and his sister Yeqian Wen chatted and laughed, showing a very good relationship. Yeting Chen didn't want his sister to have any worries. He hoped she would study happily, advance in her education, find a good job, get married, have children, and live a happy and fulfilling life. If anyone dared to ruin his sister's happiness, Yeting Chen would not show any mercy.

"Brother, I'll go in first," Yeqian Wen said, waving to her brother Yeting Chen at the entrance of Jingdu High School.

"Sure, go ahead. Remember to come home on time tonight," Yeting Chen said with a smile.

"I don't need you to remind me!"

Yeqian Wen made a face at her brother and walked toward the school gate. Just as Yeting Chen was about to turn and leave, a BMW sedan blocked Yeqian Wen's path. A man in a designer suit, around twenty years old, got out of the car. What was particularly memorable was the mole on his right cheek. After the man got out, two burly men also exited the car, glaring menacingly at the passersby, scaring some students entering the school to the point of trembling.

Yeting Chen frowned and walked toward his sister Yeqian Wen. At this moment, the man had already spoken to Yeqian Wen: "What a coincidence, Yeqian Wen. I'll give you one last chance. Be my girlfriend, Chen Hao's girlfriend, and I'll ensure no one dares to bully your family again."

"Get lost. I've told you many times, I won't like you. You're not worth my affection," Yeqian Wen said fiercely.

"Huh? Damn it, Yeqian Wen, I'm giving you face, but you're not appreciating it. Everyone knows your family has declined, and your brother is a laughingstock in all of Jingdu. I advise you to be my girlfriend obediently, or your family will never recover!" Chen Hao said with a sinister laugh, furious at Yeqian Wen's lack of respect.

"You... don't say such things about my brother," Yeqian Wen clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could punch Chen Hao. The Ye family had indeed declined, but she wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of her brother.

"What? Your brother is a waste, a laughingstock. You can't even let people say it? You want to attack me? Today, I, Chen Hao, will force you onto the car," Chen Hao said arrogantly.

The burly man on Chen Hao's left reached out to grab Yeqian Wen.

Bang!

The moment the burly man reached out, he was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground. Yeqian Wen was stunned and turned to see her brother Yeting Chen. Her angry little face immediately broke into a sweet smile.

"You... who the hell are you? Daring to interfere with my business?" Chen Hao looked at Yeting Chen in shock and asked arrogantly.

"Don't think about my sister again, or your dog legs will be broken," Yeting Chen said calmly.

"Hah, you're Yeting Chen, the disgrace of the Ye family, the shame of the entire Ye family..."

"Ah!"

Before Chen Hao could finish his mocking words, he was punched by Yeting Chen and flew out, landing on the ground and screaming like a pig being slaughtered: "Kill him, get rid of this guy."

The other burly man then pulled out a machete from behind and swung it at Yeting Chen's head, shocking the surrounding crowd and students, who quickly moved back. Yeting Chen protected his sister Yeqian Wen behind him and faced the attack alone.

As the machete came down, everyone gasped. If it hit, it would surely split the head in two. However, Yeting Chen caught the blade with his right index and middle fingers, stunning everyone. Who had ever seen someone not dodge a machete but instead rush forward? Even more surprising, who had ever seen someone catch a machete with their fingers? If the blade had come down, the entire hand would have been split in two.

But to everyone's surprise, Yeting Chen's right index and middle fingers held the blade as if with a vise. No matter how hard the burly man tried, even with both hands on the handle, he couldn't push the blade down another inch.

To many, it seemed Yeting Chen was using a light touch to counter the burly man's full strength, but in reality, he was testing his strange energy. As he rushed forward, he activated the strange energy within his body, focusing it in his right index and middle fingers. When the burly man's machete came down, Yeting Chen used his strange energy to pinch the blade, stopping it from moving any further. This was a method of activating strange energy in a dangerous situation.

Snap!

With a light sound, Yeting Chen broke the machete in half with his right index and middle fingers, stunning everyone to the point of dropping their jaws.

Yeting Chen kicked the burly man away, threw the broken machete, and walked toward Chen Hao with a smile.

Seeing Yeting Chen's powerful display, Chen Hao was drenched in cold sweat. He never imagined that Yeting Chen, the laughingstock of Jingdu, could be so strong.

"You... what do you want to do? My father is Chen Hu, and..."

Bang, bang, bang! Yeting Chen kicked Chen Hao three times, stomping him unconscious, breaking several of his ribs, shocking the onlookers.

"Daring to provoke my sister, even if your father is Li Gang, it won't help," Yeting Chen said coldly.

This was the first popular phrase Yeting Chen had learned since his rebirth, taught by his sister Yeqian Wen, and it came in handy now.

"What are you standing there for? Go to school!" Yeting Chen walked to his still-stunned sister Yeqian Wen and said with a smile.

"Brother, you're really strong," Yeqian Wen said, coming to her senses, surprised by her brother's strength.

"Hehe, go in, you'll be late!" Yeting Chen affectionately patted his sister Yeqian Wen's head.

Yeqian Wen turned to walk into the school, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Brother, Chen Hao's father is Chen Hu, a thug in this area, nicknamed 'Dead Dog.' He's said to be very powerful..."

"Go in, don't worry. I'll handle it," Yeting Chen said with a smile, waving to his sister.

Watching his sister Yeqian Wen enter the school, Yeting Chen turned around and saw that Chen Hao and his two henchmen had already driven away.

Hailing a taxi, Yeting Chen headed to the Sea King Group headquarters, where he would sit in the chairman's seat for the first time and sign the divorce agreement with the Qi family.

When Yeting Chen arrived at the Sea King Group, it was already noon. The traffic in Jingdu was notoriously congested, causing him to be stuck for a few hours. Fortunately, he had no urgent matters and arrived at the Sea King Group office building leisurely.

The Sea King Group was a large company with its headquarters in Jingdu and branches in other major cities. The twenty-two-story building was entirely the headquarters of the Sea King Group, a conglomerate that included transportation, real estate, food industry, and more, with a wide range of businesses and substantial profits.

"Stop, who are you? This is the headquarters of the Sea King Group. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

As Yeting Chen approached the entrance of the Sea King Group, he was stopped by a security guard.
