Chapter 167: Untitled
MBS International, President’s office.
Ye Chen had just stepped into the office when Liu Xiaotian came in to report. “President Ye, Mister Louis is on the line. He wants to have a video conference with you.”
Third Young Master Ye nodded.
“A cup of coffee!”
“Okay!” Liu Xiaotian went out to prepare his coffee and came in with it a while later.
He loosened his tie and took a sip of the coffee. He then frowned slightly, looking unhappy, and put the cup of coffee aside. The coffee Cheng Anya brewed was more fragrant than the coffee Liu Xiaotian brewed. The third young master had become picky because of Cheng Anya and he was obsessed with the taste of coffee lately.
After leaving Louis on hold for a few minutes, Ye Chen switched on the office’s screen and Louis’ face appeared.
He had a pair of jade green eyes, as green as emerald. His gaze always looked depressed, lonely, and cold, with a hint of sadness. His pair of attractive and pretty eyes could kill hundreds and thousands of teenage girls. He had a sharp nose, thin lips, and golden hair, forming a western and handsome face. He was unbelievably pretty.
Anyone who met Louis for the first time would give him the nickname ‘The Melancholic Prince’.
Who knew that a person with a face this beautiful, gaze this melancholic, would be an Italian mafia’s Godfather? One move of his would make the whole dark world tremble three times. The Dragon Gate even left Italy just to avoid the Italian mafia.
This showed how strong and powerful Louis was.
“Hi, Mister Louis, why are you still up this late?” Ye Chen smiled elegantly while holding his cup of coffee. He crossed his legs and looked at him with a forced smile.
The smell of warm coffee drove away the feeling of disgust that rose in his heart. Somehow, every time he talked to Louis, Ye Chen would feel nauseous and have a sense of déjà vu. It was utterly disgusting.
Even though he looked as pretty as a flower!
“Waiting for you!” Louis smiled and in his sad eyes flashed past a moment of brightness. “Are you coming to welcome me when I reach City A?”
Ye Chen raised his brows slightly and lightly swirled the cup of coffee in front of him. The white smoke rising from the cup hid the sarcasm in his eyes. He teased. “Many people would love to welcome you when you come to City A, Mister Louis. When will it ever be my turn?”
Louis leaned back on the sofa and his face on the screen looked as peaceful as calm water. He did not look like a cruel person at all. He seemed to be a melancholic prince, gentle, harmless, and lovable.
“Our backstage deal encountered some problems recently. I’ll go and talk to you in person!”
“My pleasure!” Ye Chen had expected it already. Ning Ning was right. Sure enough, there was something fishy going on. He was prepared, in case he turned his back on him. The failure of the deal meant nothing to him.
Anyway, his son was the lord of military arms and it was easy for him if he wanted to smuggle. If it wasn’t to keep Old Master Ye in check these past few years, he wouldn’t have taken the risk either. Hence, it was nothing to him even if the deal failed.
“Cancel the deal if there are problems. I am not interested in it anymore!” Ye Chen’s cold gaze had no warmth at all. Anyone who dared to plot against him obviously did not know that they were in big trouble.
“Third Young Master Ye, you can’t just back out like that. I can’t account for it on my side!” Louis smiled gently but had a firm tone. Ye Chen had no choice at all. He had to do it no matter what.
“You are the leader of the mafia now and the whole of the Italian mafia is yours. Do you still need to account for anything?” Ye Chen said sarcastically. He felt his blood run cold as he was being stared at by the other party’s gentle gaze. He had already felt uncomfortable during the video call. He could not promise that he would not puke if he saw him in person!
“Right, I haven’t congratulated you yet. Mister Louis, congratulations on getting what you wanted. Rus is definitely no match for you!”
“Much thanks!” Louis, the melancholic prince, smiled gently while playing with the ring on his left hand. He raised his brows slightly. “I have to congratulate you too. I didn’t expect you to have a son already. What a surprise. You’ve hidden them so well these past few years.”
Ye Chen was stunned. ‘What does he mean?’
“You read gossip news too? What a wonder!” Third Young Master Ye mocked him unceremoniously.
“GK International Media was reporting it so frequently. How would one not know about it!”
Ye Chen cursed his bad friend, Klose, again. On second thought, even if Klose did not report it worldwide, he would also know about it, as according to the spy in Dragon Gate, Louis had been collecting information on him.
And he would also collect information on him before dealing with him. It was inevitable.
However, those words that came out of his mouth made him feel weird as though a cold-blooded snake had slithered past his feet. Extremely uncomfortable!
“Are you coming to City A just to renegotiate the deal with me?” Ye Chen asked coldly, changing the subject.
“That’s right!” Louis smiled softly. “And also to meet Third Young Master Ye in the meantime. Gaining a friend is better than gaining an enemy, isn’t it?”
He said those words lightly, but they were full of warning.
Third Young Master Ye sneered at the bottom of his heart. ‘Please, I wouldn’t be friends with you no matter what. Don’t insult the term ‘friend’!’
“Okay, when are you coming?”
“Next week!”
“Okay! I got it!”
“So, are you willing to renegotiate the deal with me?” Louis’s jade green eyes showed a hint of a faint smile. A smile that could make someone shudder was hidden under his gloom.
“Do I have a choice?” Third Young Master Ye said in a tone of resignation indifferently.
“Smart!”
Third Young Master Ye sneered and looked down.
If he wanted to come, then let him. He was curious about how he and the old man knew each other.
It had always been the ultimate doubt in his mind right from the beginning!
He was too lazy to find out, so he wanted to let them tell him themselves!
“See you next week then!” Ye Chen gestured to hang up the video call. He felt uncomfortable to even say one more word to him.
“I’m already looking forward to it!” Louis was full of smiles and he was as gentle as the spring wind blowing across the lake water, creating ripples. His jade green eyes were as warm as the spring warmth.
Ye Chen raised the corners of his lips coldly. “Believe me, Mister Louis. I would definitely be lying if I said I’m looking forward to it too!”
Slam! He hung up the video call and frowned. ‘Louis, why didn’t you choose to come earlier or later, but chose to come at this timing, when everything is so disoriented?’ This made him feel suspicious of him.
Third Young Master Ye pushed the cup of coffee aside and logged onto Dragon Gate’s system. He checked Louis’ information once more.
Louis, the son of Raul Vasalos. Born in a mafia family. At the age of eleven, he participated in the international piano competition, gained unanimous praise, and was known as a prodigy in the world of music. Many predicted that he would be a very successful musician.
Who knew that Louis would end up doing something that was totally unrelated to music? After Raul died, he took over the Vasalos family and started leading the brothers working under him. He was firm and cold-blooded. He fought violently all the way and became the leader of the whole Italian mafia now.
Third Young Master Ye frowned and felt that something was amiss!
