Chapter 43: Such an Arrogant Protagonist

"Ladies and gentlemen, a moment, a moment, I have good news for you."

"Tonight, all expenses will be covered by young Chen."

"For the next ten days, all expenses will be covered by young Chen!"

"Where's the joy?"

When the bar owner went up on stage and delivered the good news, the whole bar erupted in excitement.

The shouts and laughter were deafening.

Everyone wondered, who was this person with so much money, a great fool willing to pay for them?

Seeing the euphoric expressions of the crowd, eager to know who the rich fool paying for them was, Chen Haotian smiled. He seemed to enjoy life at that moment.

"Ding! The host spent 30 million Han coins, the host received 3000 power points, the host has received the 'Wandering Steps of Bagua' skill."

At that moment, a voice echoed in Chen Haotian's mind.

If it were someone else, they would probably be surprised, but for Chen Haotian, this kind of thing was already familiar.

It was the third time he had heard the system's voice granting rewards.

The first time he spent a million, the second time ten million, and this time, the system gave him thirty million.

In total, after three spending episodes, he had spent 45 million, obtaining 4500 power points and a bunch of skills.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't know how to spend that much money, as it couldn't be used for investments or fixed assets, only for immediate expenses.

But none of this was difficult for Chen Haotian. Like today, for example, it was enough to pay for the consumption in a bar.

If one day wasn't enough, he could just pay for ten days.

"Another batch of power points received. Now I can raise my strength to the Intermediate Stage: [Realm of Darkness]. I just need to complete the next system mission and my power will increase even more."

"Xue'er, wait for me. In less than three months, I'll take you out of the Li family."

Chen Haotian clenched his fist in silence. The thought that Xue'er might be suffering humiliation in the Li house filled him with rage. He wanted to go to the Li house and rescue her immediately.

"Young Chen, everyone at the bar thanks your generosity. They would like to meet you; would it be possible for you to honor us with your presence?"

The bar owner, with a face full of flattery, approached Chen Haotian.

"No need, I have nothing in common with them, I'm not interested in meeting them."

Chen Haotian raised his hand and rejected the owner's offer.

The people who came to get drunk here didn't interest him.

If it weren't for the system mission, he wouldn't have had the kindness to invite everyone in the bar to consume.

"Yes, yes... Young Chen is so distinguished, it's no surprise that he doesn't want to meet them."

"Young Chen, this is our most exclusive golden VIP card. You or your friends can come to the gold bar in the future and consume for free. It's a small gift for you, I hope you won't refuse it."

The owner, after saying this, took out a golden and shiny card from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Chen Haotian.

There was no other option. The owner didn't want to flatter Chen Haotian, but since Chen Haotian had spent 30 million, even if he wasn't the next patriarch of the Chen family, he clearly had enough power within the family. How could a simple bar owner dare to reject him?

Such a person couldn't afford to offend.

Besides, if he could win his favor, perhaps he could use it to rise in the ranks of the Chen family.

However, seeing that Chen Haotian didn't even look at the card, the owner felt uncomfortable for a moment, but quickly got over it, put the card away, and continued:

"Young Chen, I've prepared a dinner in the back. Would it be an honor for you to join us for a small snack?"

"An honor?"

"Do you have the face to ask for it?"

Chen Haotian, irritated, responded harshly.

Normally, he wouldn't have been so upset, but after everything he had endured in the Chen family, even Xue'er had been forcibly taken by Li Yun. At that moment, Chen Haotian was full of anger, and this annoying bar owner came to bother him. Wasn't that asking to be scolded?

"How boring!"

Chen Haotian shook his head, no longer wanting to stay, and got up to leave the bar.

"Boss, this guy is too arrogant! He has no respect at all, why don't we teach him a lesson?"

After Chen Haotian left, the assistant behind the owner was so annoyed he couldn't stand it.

"Who told him to be born with such an incredible father?"

"Leave it, don't get involved. If we can't win his favor, we don't need to make an enemy of him."

The owner shook his head. It wasn't worth risking offending the Chen family over something so trivial.

"Since Chen Haotian has left, follow him. I'll immediately report the situation here to my lord."

"Understood."

In a corner of the bar, someone who had observed Chen Haotian leaving immediately followed him. At the same time, Li Yun was informed about Chen Haotian's extravagant spending in the bar.

"Interesting, this is really interesting."

"The system is truly impressive. Does he have no place to spend his money?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Li Yun smiled.

This scenario seemed familiar to him, he had seen something similar in a novel.

But in that story, there was no one pressuring them, while here there was someone like Chen Tianfang. With that, Chen Haotian dared to behave with such arrogance.

Li Yun just wanted to tell Chen Haotian: "Kid, even though you have that system, you shouldn't be so ostentatious. You know that those who are too visible tend to fall quickly."

To appear noble before others, one must suffer in private.

Li Yun smiled cunningly and quickly made some calls to arrange a few things.

"Xue'er, come and give me a shoulder massage."

Once the orders were given, Li Yun looked at Xue'er, who was in the kitchen.

"I'm coming!"

Xue'er didn't hesitate for a second, quickly washed her hands, and went to Li Yun's back to give him a massage.

"You're definitely an expert. Compared to those who do it on the fly, your technique is much better."

Li Yun closed his eyes and, while enjoying the massage, complimented Xue'er.

Li Yun's voice wasn't low, and the woman named Gu Yanran, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, heard everything clearly.

Damn!

I'm already giving you a massage, I've done you a great favor, and you're still complaining!

"I'm going to kill you, Li Yun. I'll kill you, I'll kill you!"

Gu Yanran, filled with rage, started smashing the dishes, releasing all her frustration on those innocent utensils.
