Chapter 730
Guo Huai had thought Yang Qi was just a Martial Artist, but the man actually knew how to use Spells. In this world, people who can use Spells are not to be trifled with.
"Let me tell you! He is Yang Qi, a disciple of the boss of the Star Shining Society!" At that moment, a group of people burst in from outside, led by none other than Zhou Shang.
Ever since the last conflict between the business alliances, Zhou Shang had been completely humbled. He intended to fully submit to Yang Qi, not daring to have any more reckless thoughts, much less think about revenge. Revenge was impossible; it was a complete joke.
"Old Master Zhou!" Upon seeing Zhou Shang, Guo Huai was frightened to death.
In Longjiang Prefecture, Zhou Shang was an absolute authority. Although Guo Huai didn’t know how formidable the Star Shining Society was, he knew exactly how formidable Zhou Shang was—a man he absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke.
Zhou Shang, however, paid no heed to Guo Huai. Instead, he approached Yang Qi with a fist-and-palm salute and said, "Mr. Yang, a small fry like this isn’t worthy of your time. Just leave him to me."
Yang Qi glanced indifferently at Zhou Shang and said, "These people wanted to kill the three of us and throw our bodies into the river to feed the fish. You can decide how to deal with them."
"Sister Xue, Brother Tao, let’s go. You don’t need to worry about the project anymore. The Guo Family won’t be causing you any more trouble. I’ll connect you with other potential partners."
AHHH—!
Just as they stepped outside, shrill screams echoed from within the Guo Family residence.
Guo Yuxue and Lin Tao covered their ears. They didn’t know what was happening, but it sounded dreadful.
"Don’t look back," Yang Qi said, shaking his head. "Some people aren’t worthy of your sympathy."
While Yang Qi was still in Longjiang Prefecture, Wu Heng, the Family Head of the Wu Family, led a group to the Jingnan Prefecture Martial Arts Association. He wanted to personally visit the boss of the Star Shining Society to clear up their previous misunderstanding.
However, they were stopped at the entrance of the Martial Arts Association.
"This is an important Martial Arts establishment. You may not enter without special business," the guard said, eyeing Wu Heng and his group.
Wu Heng smiled. "Gentlemen, I am Wu Heng, the Family Head of the Wu Family from Sea City. I am here to visit the boss of the Star Shining Society."
The guard frowned. Visit the boss of the Star Shining Society? To be honest, even we’ve never seen what our boss looks like. He always wears the Demon Fox Mask when he appears, and even then, we’ve only seen him from a distance. These people actually want to visit our boss? The Wu Family from Sea City? That sounds impressive—one of the ten great families of Sea City, right?
"Family Head Wu, do you have an appointment?" the guard inquired.
Wu Heng shook his head. "Although I don’t have an appointment, you can inform your boss. Just tell him I am the elder brother of Wu Yang, the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard. I believe your boss will know of him."
At this very moment, Wu Heng still believed that Wu Yang was the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard. He hadn’t the slightest doubt, nor did he want to doubt it.
Upon hearing the words "War God Guard," the guard was stunned. The War God Guard... that’s the War God King’s personal unit! The War God King is a great hero known to everyone in the Dragon Country. The Star Shining Society is nothing compared to the War God Guard!
To avoid causing a major incident, the guard didn’t dare to be dismissive. He gave Wu Heng a look and said, "Please wait a moment. I’ll make a call to check."
Seeing the guard’s attitude, Wu Heng internally breathed a sigh of relief. So it’s true! Wu Yang really is the Deputy Commander of the War God Guard! Otherwise, why would this guard be so wary? Our third brother has really made it! The Wu Family has produced a dragon!
"Third Uncle is truly formidable. He’ll be able to ensure our Wu Family’s prosperity from now on," Wu Xiu said excitedly.
The call went to Ye Feng. He and the King of Jingnan were in the middle of a discussion. Since Yang Qi wasn’t involved in daily management, the affairs of the Star Shining Society were handled by Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan. Only major issues would be brought to Yang Qi’s attention, or they would convene a meeting of the core members. A call had just come in about someone who wanted to meet their boss and had mentioned a certain Wu Yang, Deputy Commander of the War God Guard.
"I don’t know much about the War God Guard," Ye Feng said with a frown, "but a Deputy Commander must be one of the War God King’s fierce generals. We can’t afford to offend him."
"I’m not familiar with the structure of the War God Guard, and I’ve never heard of this Wu Yang," said the King of Jingnan. "Should we call the boss and ask?"
"Let’s not bother the boss. He’s away in Longjiang Prefecture on business. He’ll find out when he gets back," Ye Feng said after a moment’s thought. "Come on, let’s go out and meet this Wu Heng. After all, he’s the Family Head of the Wu Family from Sea City. We’ll see what he really wants."
"Sounds good."
Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan went out together. "Family Head Wu, what a rare honor! Please, come inside," Ye Feng said with the utmost courtesy.
After all, you don’t slap a smiling face. The Wu Family was one of the ten great families of Sea City, so it was never wrong to be polite. More importantly, if this Wu Yang really was a Deputy Commander of the War God Guard, they couldn’t afford to offend him. That would only cause trouble for the Star Shining Society.
Wu Heng and his group were ecstatic. They assumed Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan had heard of Wu Yang and that his fame was so great it had brought out these two major figures to greet them personally. Ye Feng was the President of the Star Shining Society, and the King of Jingnan was its Vice-President. To have them come out showed immense respect. This further confirmed Wu Yang’s high status in the eyes of the Star Shining Society’s boss, as well as his high position within the War God Guard.
They were completely unaware that they had misunderstood everything.
Though Wu Heng suppressed his excitement, he couldn’t help but clench his fists. The Wu Family has truly produced a dragon! The Wu Family has well and truly risen! In the future, not just the ten great families of Sea City, but even the ten great families of Capital City will have to show the Wu Family some respect!
Wu Xiu and the other members of the Wu Family’s third generation were also flushed with excitement. They had no idea that the "dragon" they revered was no dragon at all, but merely an insignificant, powerless, and unaffiliated drill instructor. If Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan had known the truth, would they have been invited in? It would have been a joke.
Wu Heng and his group were led into the Martial Arts Association. After chatting for a while, Wu Heng finally smiled and said, "I was wondering if we might meet your boss? There was a small misunderstanding regarding the business alliance matter, and I was hoping to explain it to him in person."
"I’m afraid that’s impossible," Ye Feng said. "Our boss just left town, so a meeting is out of the question for now. But we will pass on your message when he returns."
"I see. Your boss must have mentioned my third brother, Wu Yang, right?" Wu Heng asked with a smile.
Ye Feng and the King of Jingnan exchanged a glance. Mention him? We’ve never even heard of the guy! But we can’t just say that. What if this Wu Yang really is a Deputy Commander of the War God Guard? It wouldn’t do to offend him.
So, they smiled vaguely and said, "Of course he has. The deeds of Deputy Commander Wu are truly admirable."
