Chapter 484: Coward

The person speaking was Ye Hongbo, a Capital City local whose family was in business. He was considered one of the wealthier students in Zhao Xuan's class. Ye Hongbo had a forthright nature and was accustomed to being straightforward; he preferred to speak directly and was not fond of beating around the bush.

However, despite his personality, he was not ostentatious in class.

The reason was simple: in Capital City, there were too many people with money and power. You could throw a brick, and chances were you'd hit someone who had some connection to a person of influence or was the offspring of a wealthy family.

Anyone with a bit of sense, who didn't just come to Capital City, knew that having money didn't count for much here. Those who truly had wealth and power typically kept a low profile.

There's a saying that a full bottle doesn't slosh while a half-full bottle clinks.
