With a teenager

It had now become an abandoned site, and the inside was even more of a mess.

Fortunately, the site was large enough to accommodate three thousand people at once.

With these thousand people cleaning it up, it would be spotless in no time.

After the cleanup was finished, Lin Nuoyi spoke up and asked, "Ye Chen, what do we do next?"

Ye Chen looked at the youths and said, "First, select 100 youths from among them."

Lin Nuoyi gave a hum of acknowledgment, selected one hundred youths, and brought them before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said in a low voice, "You stay here and keep an eye on them; I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

Ye Chen did not answer; he took the one hundred youths and headed straight out.

Ye Chen led the group straight toward the west.

After walking for more than half an hour, Ye Chen stopped at an entertainment venue called Dynasty International.

The lights inside Dynasty International were dazzling, and four burly men in black suits were standing at the entrance.

Seeing Ye Chen and the others, they said coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here!"

Ye Chen said nothing, but with a sullen face, he produced his Elder token.

Upon seeing this, the four men hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Elder. Please come in. Hall Master Youming is on the fifth floor!"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "No need. These are all reserve troops for our Azure Alliance."

"Very well! This way, please!"

One of the bodyguards, very perceptive, led the way for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen led the group behind him. He turned around to take a look and could clearly see that the look in these people's eyes was a bit off.

The layout inside was similar to Huijia KTV.

The first basement level was very large, with a five-hundred-square-meter main hall furnished with sofas, drinks, and so on.

The bodyguards here were a bit stunned to see so many people.

The bodyguard leading the way said directly, "An Alliance Elder is here with the reserve troops; get ready to receive them."

When the few men heard it was an Elder, they were startled and quickly became extremely respectful.

Ye Chen led everyone to sit on the sofas.

The person in charge of the first basement level walked up, beaming with joy.

This was a woman of twenty-six or twenty-seven, dressed in a very flashy manner.

She was also quite attractive.

She came to Ye Chen's side and said with a beaming smile, "Lord Elder, what brings you here today?"

As the madam spoke, she leaned in and pressed her body against Ye Chen's side.

Ye Chen did not refuse; instead, he put on a very satisfied look and smiled, "I've brought the Alliance's reserve troops. You wouldn't be unwelcoming, would you?"

"How could that be? Of course, you are welcome!" the madam said to a girl.

These people were all those with very low pet ranks.

To the Azure Alliance, they only had this much utility value.

Ye Chen looked at the youths and smiled, "Everyone, go ahead and pick. These are all properties of our Azure Alliance; you should also enjoy yourselves properly."

The youths were taken aback. The person sitting next to Ye Chen asked timidly, "Lord Elder, these... these girls?"

Ye Chen smiled, "These girls are all people we captured; some are people with low pet ranks, and others, just like you were before, are reserve troops."

The youths were shocked again, their faces filled with astonishment.

Someone stammered, "Then... then what about us in the future?"

Ye Chen pretended not to hear and said, "Go and choose."

The youths looked at the many young girls before them, each with a very haggard expression.

No matter how beautiful their features or how heavy their makeup, it could not hide their haggard complexions.

Ye Chen also noticed this and said to the madam with an unhappy face, "What is going on? Can these people not get enough to eat? Or have they not rested well?"

The madam stood up and scolded the girls, "What are you all doing? Perk up, all of you! With those long faces, it's like your mother died!"

Not long ago, they were still enjoying the love of their parents, but now they had fallen to such a state.

After the madam finished scolding them, the girls hurriedly put on smiles.

For some reason, one girl in the front row still looked sad. After being scolded by the madam like that, tears began to drip down.

Ye Chen pretended to be displeased, his brow furrowed.

Seeing this, the madam rolled her eyes and waved at someone beside her.

A man stepped forward, grabbed the girl, and dragged her toward the back room.

The madam apologized with a sycophantic smile, "I am sorry, Lord Elder. This one is new and doesn't quite understand the rules. It is my fault for not training her well. I will have my men train her properly."

Ye Chen understood that the "training" the madam spoke of was definitely a brutal beating. He also understood that in this first basement level, he didn't know how many young girls had been beaten to death.

Just then, a youth beside Ye Chen stood up and said, "Lord Elder, I happen to like this one. Could you bring her over to me?"

Ye Chen also noticed that the other youths had strange expressions as well. Ye Chen was very satisfied in his heart; it seemed that these people had not been completely brainwashed, and their inner kindness was still preserved.

The madam suddenly said, "This one is not very obedient. You should pick a better one, ha!"

Ye Chen glanced at the madam and said coldly, "Let it be her. Since this brother likes her, satisfy him."

Ye Chen did this to save this girl from a brutal beating.

Seeing that Ye Chen had spoken, the madam had no choice but to comply.

Ye Chen asked the rest of the youths, "What about you all? Have you chosen?"

"We have chosen, we have chosen!"

The youths hurriedly said they had chosen.

Ye Chen could see forbearance and disbelief in the eyes of these youths.

Seeing the youths with such expressions, Ye Chen was very satisfied in his heart. This was exactly the effect Ye Chen wanted.

Ye Chen led the youths back to the base.

The youths had different expressions, but all were exceptionally heavy; it was unknown what they were thinking inside.

When Lin Nuoyi saw the expressions of the group, she asked Ye Chen curiously, "Ye Chen, what is going on? What did you do to them? They were high-spirited when they left, so why are they so listless when they came back?"

Ye Chen smiled, "I'll tell you in a moment. I have some serious business to attend to first."

Lin Nuoyi nodded and stayed where she was.

Ye Chen led the youths into a room.

Ye Chen stood in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, sit."

The youths sat on the ground, distracted.

Ye Chen stood in front, saying nothing.

Finally, one of the youths couldn't help but speak up, "Lord Elder, are those really from our Azure Alliance?"

Ye Chen raised his head and said, "Of course. We have more than one such property; there are plenty in Qing County!"
