Night fell.
The Mong Kok District in Kowloon, Hong Kong was crowded at the moment. Countless snacks were placed on both sides of the street, and the entire street was filled with the aroma of all sorts of food.
Ye Chen walked out of a shop with a few packets of packaged Che Zai noodles. He ate one of them and put the rest into his storage ring. He considered it a gift for his family.
Especially Mengmeng who loved to eat.
There were many snacks in the storage ring such as fish eggs, fried wine, and the like. They were considered the more famous snacks in Hong Kong.
It was rare for him to be in Hong Kong, so he could not help but linger around the food and snacks. He could not help but feel emotional.
The difference between China and Hong Kong was huge, be it in terms of culture, economy, or consumption level. It was no wonder that Hong Kong was known as the Pearl of the Orient, a paradise for food and shopping!
It was unfortunate that he did not bring Yuhan and her daughter along.
Ye Chen was in between tears and laughter.
His daughter loved to eat, so it was perfect for her to come here. Moreover, as a woman, Yuhan should have a shopping instinct in her.
It seemed like he should get himself a villa in Hong Kong!
Ye Chen made up his mind. He was going to look for a hotel to rest after finishing the Che Zai noodles in his hand. However, his phone rang at that moment.
"Mr. Ye, there's a ball on a cruise at 9 p.m. tonight. Would you like to join it?" Wang Long asked over the phone.
Ye Chen squinted. "A ball on a cruise?"
"That's right. It's a luxury yacht that's docked at the Victoria Harbor. The organizer is preparing for the auction tomorrow night. They want everyone to interact with each other in advance."
"I'll join it!"
Ye Chen agreed to it without thinking when he heard that it was related to the auction. After all, he was there for the Nine-section Soul Herb at the auction.
"Sure, where are you? I'll pick you up myself! "
…
Half an hour later, a Lincoln limousine drove into the Victoria Harbor slowly. Ye Chen and Wang Long got out of the car.
A luxurious cruise ship came into view. It was dazzling in the night like a bright pearl. Meanwhile, many well-dressed people next to Ye Chen boarded the ship one after another.
"Mr. Ye, this cruise is called the Thunder Toad. It weighs over 50,000 tons and can carry 3,000 passengers at most. The facilities inside are so luxurious that it's like a garden on land …" Wang Long introduced.
Ye Chen was surprised. "Thunder Toad? What a strange name! "
"The reason why it's called Thunder Toad is because the owner of this cruise is the son of the Thunder King, Young Master Thunder. He's also the organizer of this ball, so I named it Thunder Toad."
Ye Chen was stunned when he heard that. Subsequently, he said with interest, "Thunder King? A Lightning Dharmaraja that can cast lightning? "
"Mr. Ye, have you never heard of the Thunder King?"
Wang Long looked at him in surprise, then said with a smile, "In Hong Kong, there are two people you can't mess with. The first is the Thunder King, and the second is Master Shen. Even the governor of Hong Kong has to curry favor with these two people."
"Why?" Ye Chen asked.
"The Thunder King is a person, not some Thunder God."
Wang Long said with some fear, "It's said that his surname is Lei. There aren't many rumors about him, but this person existed when Hong Kong was ruled by the British. At that time, he was the highest-ranking person in the Chinese community. He was even summoned by the Queen of England many times …"
Ye Chen asked again, "What about the so-called Master Shen?"
"Master Shen's name is Shen Tiannan!"
Wang Long took a deep breath in and said, "He's a legend in Hong Kong's spell world. He's also the No. 1 in Feng Shui. He's an expert in fortune-telling, physiognomy, Yin and Yang, and even knows how to cast spells. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's omnipotent."
He paused as he spoke to this point, "I had the honor to meet Master Shen when I was young. Back then, there was a Dai Black Magic Master who swept through Hong Kong's spell world. Master Shen was forced to show up, but all Master Shen did was wave his sleeve and put the Black Magic Master into his sleeve directly …"
He secretly sighed.
Although he was the person in charge of Sun Yee On Guild while Sun Yee On Guild and 14K did whatever they wanted in Hong Kong, that was because they did not touch the interests of these two bosses. Otherwise, they would have been killed anytime.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he heard that.
'Universe in One's Sleeve?'
Perhaps to Wang Long and the rest, such a technique was no different from a god's technique. However, it was nothing to Ye Chen.
"Meanwhile, the Thunder King and Master Shen are equally famous. Judging from that, the Thunder King's technique isn't inferior to Master Shen's," Wang Long added.
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen chuckled softly and took the lead to board the ship. Many people passed by them one after another. Most of them were young ladies who were dressed in revealing clothes.
"I can't believe that even Guan Yuehe is here."
Wang Long exclaimed.
Guan Yuehe was the most popular female celebrity in Hong Kong in recent years. She had won so many awards that her hands were cramping. Her appearance fees were easily tens of millions. Even with her status, she was eager to attend the banquet tonight. One could tell that the banquet was extraordinarily grand.
Everyone took out their invitation cards when they passed the security. They were only allowed to go through the guards' thorough checks and all sorts of body searches.
Ye Chen was slightly more interested in the ball on the cruise when he saw that. He was also curious about the Thunder King's son, who was also the organizer of the ball.
After all, the people who came to attend the ball were either rich or powerful. If the organizer was not powerful enough, it would be difficult to suppress them!
Wang Long handed Ye Chen the invitation card and led him in.
Although Ye Chen was prepared, he was still stunned by the luxurious banquet hall. Before him was a super hall that occupied over 5,000 square meters. The European-style chandelier above his head was extremely luxurious. There were many banquets far away, and the intense fragrance of alcohol filled the entire hall.
Countless extravagantly dressed people with extraordinary auras gathered in groups of three to five. There were Asians, whites, blacks … There were people of almost all skin colors.
Wang Long said to Ye Chen as soon as they entered, "Mr. Ye, I'm going to meet a few friends. Would you like to come with me?"
"No need!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly. He began strolling around the banquet hall aimlessly after parting ways with Wang Long. His ordinary attire did not fit in with the people around him, so he attracted many people's attention at the moment.
He did not mind that at all. When he walked straight to the leisure area and was about to sit down to rest, a group of people walked over. The leader was a lady who was dressed meticulously like a lily that was trying to attract bees and butterflies.
When the lady passed by Ye Chen, a lady in a white chiffon dress behind her suddenly stopped.
A lady in a white chiffon dress behind her suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, "Why are you here?"
The lady was Fang Mi.
Fang Hao, who was dressed formally next to her, noticed Ye Chen too upon hearing what she said. He revealed an expression as if he had just seen a ghost. "You're not dead?"
