Chapter 1990: Chapter 1990: Are You Refusing to Pay?

This shout was like a thunderclap exploding among the crowd.

Hearing that familiar voice, Lois’s delicate body trembled, her face turning deathly pale as a sheen of sweat seeped from her forehead.

Her eyes gradually filled with disbelief.

Everyone present looked in one direction—

At the edge of the cruise ship stood a man handsome like a Heavenly God; his steps were light, yet every footfall pounded like drumbeats straight into Lois’s heart.

Lois slowly lifted her head and looked over.

The moment their eyes met, Lois almost stopped breathing, as if her soul had been sucked out.

It’s him!

It’s really him!

She hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to actually come!

"Who is this guy?"

Most of the people here were young masters of sequestered clans who usually stayed hidden in the shadows, so it was normal they didn’t recognize Ye Chenfeng.

"Huh? Isn’t this the guy from the plane?"

Fan Zhilong and Yu Ze spotted Ye Chenfeng at a glance and were quite shocked.

"How is he here? Is he also here to attend the grand event?"

Fan Zhilong couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought.

"Feels like he’s here for Lois. They know each other? Who the hell is he really?"

Yu Ze’s little heart was pounding wildly.

The instant Josephine Michael and the others in the crowd saw Ye Chenfeng, their hearts also skipped a beat.

Unbidden, a scene from the Wanjia Casino surfaced in their minds—

They had been utterly crushed by Ye Chenfeng and ended up owing a massive sum of sixty billion.

Lois had stepped in and settled the matter.

But she had agreed to an outrageous condition: one billion in interest per day.

They hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng to actually come knocking!

Even though they knew Ye Chenfeng basically couldn’t do anything to them, if the Louis Family learned about this, their futures would probably be finished.

"Huh? Isn’t this the Forbidden God King Ye Chenfeng?"

Someone finally recognized Ye Chenfeng’s identity and couldn’t help exclaiming.

Yu Ze and Fan Zhilong were stunned. Back in the Capital City, they had heard the news that the Forbidden God King was still alive; the entire Capital City had been shaken.

They hadn’t expected they’d be on the same flight here as the Forbidden God King.

"So it was him! A while ago the rumor was he’d been killed by a nano warhead, but he’s actually alive!"

"But what’s he doing at the Louis Family? Just now it sounded like he was talking about them owing him money or something."

...

They recognized Ye Chenfeng, but what they felt even more was confusion.

Confusion as to why Ye Chenfeng had come here.

While they were puzzled, everyone automatically parted to make a path for Ye Chenfeng.

However, people like Hell Blade and Xie Rulong didn’t even spare Ye Chenfeng a glance.

In their eyes, this so‑called Forbidden God King of the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army was just small-fry, not even qualified to be their opponent.

"Miss Lois, long time no see!"

Ye Chenfeng walked straight up to her and said with a smile.

Lois adjusted her emotions and forced out a faint smile. "Your Excellency Forbidden God King, I didn’t expect you to still be alive?"

"So you were hoping I’d be dead?"

Ye Chenfeng’s tone was odd.

"Your Excellency Forbidden God King, you really do love to joke!"

Lois smiled lightly.

Ye Chenfeng glanced into the distance and said, "Today seems to be the Louis Family’s seven-hundred-year grand celebration! Tell me, doesn’t the moon in the sky look a bit like the money you owed me a few months ago?"

Once Ye Chenfeng said that, everyone finally understood.

It seemed Lois owed Ye Chenfeng money, and he had come here specifically to collect.

Lois had just opened her mouth when Little Zeus at her side barked coldly, "Who are you to dare talk to my little sister Lois like that?"

Little Zeus had a towering figure and stood before Ye Chenfeng like a War God, like a small mountain.

Ye Chenfeng let out a cold laugh. "Move. This has nothing to do with you."

Little Zeus still wanted to speak, but Ye Chenfeng’s voice exploded like spring thunder as he addressed Lois: "Back then you used the name of the Louis Family to sign an IOU. Interest of ten billion US dollars per day. As of today it’s been seven months and four days. I won’t count today. A total of 214 days. Ten billion per day, that’s 2,140 billion. Add the principal of sixty billion, and it comes to a total of 2,200 billion US dollars! Time to pay up, isn’t it?"

Ye Chenfeng’s words landed like a blockbuster bomb, leaving everyone scorched inside and out.

The notion of 2,200 billion was simply too outrageous!

If what Ye Chenfeng said was true, even the Louis Family might not be able to shoulder such a staggering sum.

"Nonsense! Forbidden God King, we don’t even know you! Much less owe you money!"

"That’s right, if we really owed money, would we be unable to cover a mere sixty billion?"

"I think you’re here just to cause trouble at the Louis Family’s celebration, aren’t you?"

Hearing that astronomical figure, Josephine and the others were scared out of their wits and hastily shouted back.

Deny!

Deny to the death!

There wasn’t a single person in this world who would doubt the Louis Family’s integrity.

No one, and no one dared to!

After calming herself, Lois showed a faint smile. "Your Excellency Forbidden God King, where is this coming from? First, the Louis Family has no cooperation with the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army. Second, I’ve never been to any Wanjia Casino in South America. You must have mistaken me for someone else—or perhaps someone impersonated me?"

Lois was truly gifted at turning black into white. She continued, "Everyone, do you believe me, or do you believe what His Excellency Forbidden God King says?"

"Naturally we believe Miss Lois!"

Everyone present chose to believe Lois.

Ye Chenfeng smiled. "Miss Lois, are you planning to default on your debt?"

"There was never such a thing to begin with—how is that defaulting?"

Lois’s expression was indifferent as she calmly met Ye Chenfeng’s gaze.

"Good. Very good."

Ye Chenfeng took out some small items from his person, assembled them together, and placed them on a small table.

A moment later, a projector formed, and a beam of light shot out.

A projection over ten meters long appeared in midair, incomparably clear.

There was footage playing inside—it was clearly the scene of Lois signing the IOU at Wanjia Casino that day, with every sound recorded perfectly.

The moment the projection appeared, all eyes were drawn to it.

"It’s real! The Louis Family really did say that!"

"This video file definitely hasn’t been edited. It’s the original!"

...

Listening to the murmurs around her, Lois’s heart sank to rock bottom. This matter had now been exposed to everyone.

But she’d already wiped all the surveillance footage from that day at the casino, and even had everyone who knew the truth killed.

Where did Ye Chenfeng’s recording come from?

But this wasn’t the time to be thinking about that. The matter had already blown up, and she had to deal with it.

"Forbidden God King, aren’t you being too despicable? You fabricate a fake video like this to frame us—what exactly is your intention?"

"That’s right! You weren’t even invited to this banquet. How did you get in here?"

"Someone come! Throw this man out! A banquet like this isn’t something any random stray cat or dog can attend!"

Bloodthirsty killing intent flashed through Josephine and the others’ eyes. They had already decided they would never let Ye Chenfeng leave alive.

Let him carry this secret with him to be buried in Hell!

"Hmph! The Louis Family’s majesty isn’t something you can provoke. Kill him!"

Lois’s face suddenly turned ice-cold as killing intent surged from her.
