Chapter 414: Good and dark coexist
In fact, no matter which city it is, it has its beautiful side.
The more places Ye Chao walked, the more he could feel this.
Of course, there is also a bad, dark, and unknown side, which ordinary people may not feel, but Ye Chao can feel it.
Because, the magic of his heart can envelop the whole city.
However, even the most shady forces have no good fruit to eat when they see that Ye Chao is unpleasant and want to trouble him.
Either they ran into trouble before they were dispatched, or after they were dispatched, they suddenly met their respective rivals, and then fought to the death, and they couldn't get to Ye Chao at all.
This move will control people thousands of miles away.
Before I saw anyone, the trouble had already been solved, which was in line with Ye Chao's low-key style.
Eating, drinking, and having fun is indispensable.
