He smiled nonchalantly and without a care in the world. However, Han Yongwen was properly frightened; the old man’s face was pale and his legs were trembling. Soon, a patch of yellow appeared in between his legs—the old man was so scared that he had actually peed on himself!
“M-Mercy!”
People like him were only good with their mouths. He had never been in a situation like this before. When he saw Chu Feng being ruthless, it was like his soul had left his body. He was far from firm and unyielding, and definitely not ready to give up his life.
“Old fart.” Chu Feng laughed coldly and with disdain. With one kick, he kicked the old man far away and couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
“Han? Han, are you alright?”
Tang Taishan quickly helped Han Yongwen up. His expression was dark as he pointed at Chu Feng and scolded, “Chu Feng, you are too arrogant. Way too arrogant. Both Han and I work for the people. We sacrificed our blood and tears, and belong to the older generation that has achieved great things.” Tang Taishan was very angry as he pointed at Chu Feng, saying, “When it comes to rights, service, and abilities, we do not fall short of you. Even if you are a General, even if you rank higher than we do, you cannot humiliate us like that. We are from an older generation.”
Tang Taishan knew that he could not top Chu Feng in terms of power and background. Therefore, he changed strategy and used his age and seniority to gain advantage, standing on superior moral ground to defeat Chu Feng.
At the end of the day, big shots like these cared most about their dignity and respect. That was what mattered the most to them.
Tang Taishan straightened his back and faced Chu Feng with pride. He said coldly, “The progress that we have today came from small achievements, and the efforts of the citizens, unlike you who used connections and family background to become a General. That’s why you don’t have the ability to convince the people!”
Chu Feng was unruffled. He almost laughed out loud. “You think that I depended on connections to become a General?”
Luo Gang kept smiling coldly and scolded, “Idiot.”
As a four-star General, he was at the top of the hierarchy, when thousands of men had to answer to him, he was unique to the world. How could his rank possibly be obtained through connections?
Tang Taishan snorted. He was already grasping at straws as he retorted, “Otherwise? You’re barely twenty years old and already a four-star General. Even if you enlisted while you were still in the womb, you wouldn’t have climbed the hierarchy so quickly. You yourself know full well how you got this General’s uniform!”
The surrounding guests all whispered to each other as they discussed this.
The truth was that in the whole country, every General, including Major Generals, were about forty years old. That position required qualification and accumulated military work.
He was only twenty years old, and yet he was already a four-star General? It was never heard of before. Even the famous ones in history like Huo Qubing [1], Wei Qing [2], and Han Xin [3], had to go through a lot to reach their ranks!
“Hahaha, okay. Alright.” Chu Feng laughed out loud. He pointed at Tang Taishan. “Then open your eyes wider. I’ll show you how I obtained this uniform.”
He shook the Python Printed Robe that he was wearing. Tang Taishan was so frightened that he retreated. He was worried that Chu Feng would produce a gun and shoot him dead.
