"Let's go out and take a look."
I didn't think much of it. In fact, with my current strength, even the big shots of the martial arts world would have to bow down to me, let alone Pei Yuanyi's reinforcements.
Under my lead, a group of people walked out. A few men of different shapes and sizes stood at the door. They all had the aura of experts, but they were only at the peak of Neutral Jing. They couldn't pose any threat to me.
At this moment, Pei Yuanyi ran over. I didn't stop him.
"You're finally here. Quick, help me deal with that fellow." Pei Yuanyi let out a sigh of relief and pointed in my direction.
"I want to see who has the guts to offend Young Master Pei."
The leader of the group was rather dissatisfied and looked over. However, in that instant, their expressions froze.
"Zhuang, Zhuang …" Obviously, they recognized me.
"What are you trying to act cool for!" Pei Yuanyi thought he was smart and interrupted.
Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound of a slap rang out. It sounded a bit ear-piercing. Looking over, it turned out that Pei Yuanyi had been slapped. He covered his face, looking very confused.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Hmph, so what if I hit you?
Do you f * cking know you made a huge mistake?!
He is the little hero of Hua Xia, Zhuang Feng! "The man scolded angrily.
"No, he's Zhuang Feng. I know that, but you guys are the mysterious experts of the Dragon Group. There's no need to be afraid of him, right?" Pei Yuanyi was very depressed.
"What's wrong with Dragon Group?
I can clearly tell you that even if the leader of the Dragon Group, Hong Zhanhui, was here, he would still have to be polite to him. You're asking us to deal with him, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for him?
You should be grateful that I didn't slap you to death! "This round of scolding made Pei Yuanyi somewhat dumbfounded.
The positions of these people in the Dragon Group were probably just above average. Not long ago, Hong Zhanhui had instructed them to be courteous to me, regardless of whether I was a traitor or not. Even if we couldn't become friends, we shouldn't make enemies. It was enough to show how much importance Hong Zhanhui placed on me.
Just a few hours ago, there was an unprecedented storm on the internet, it was said that the great wizards of the three small countries had died in my hands, and the highest leaders had even obediently stood out to apologize, this was a great feat.
Hong Zhanhui had once said that even if he were to personally take action, he might not be able to punish the Grand Magus who was regarded as a deity by the three small countries.
One could imagine how unfathomable a Grand Wizard's abilities were. The kid in front of him had killed a Grand Wizard.
To put it bluntly, if they really offended him, they would become a corpse in minutes. Not only that, the Dragon Group would not be able to help them. Therefore, without any hesitation, they slapped Pei Yuanyi in the face, wanting to cut ties with him.
"Brother Zhuang Feng, don't misunderstand, our throats weren't feeling well, so we casually shouted a few times, we definitely didn't mean to target you." That person braced himself and said, unable to conceal the fear in his eyes.
"Oh, so that's how it is, but I'm a bit curious, as people of the Dragon Group, how did you get involved with him?" I asked, puzzled.
Afterwards, they explained to me that the higher-ups had sent them to assist Pei Huazhang, who was Pei Yuanyi's father. They also repeatedly stated that if they knew that the person Pei Yuanyi wanted to deal with was me, they wouldn't have come even if they were beaten to death.
After the Dragon Group expressed their stance, Pei Yuanyi immediately fell into a state of isolation and helplessness. However, at this time, his phone suddenly rang, looking at the caller, it was his biological father.
As it turned out, Pei Huazhang was in Kun City, meeting with some of the leaders of the Nan Yun Army. When he heard that his son had been captured, he was extremely unhappy. Even if he was a young hero, so what? At the very least, he was now the acting commander of the Nan Yun Army. Wasn't this the same as riding on his head and pissing on him?
Therefore, after hanging up the phone and confirming the specific location, Pei Huazhang hurried over. Compared to this good-for-nothing son of his, Pei Huazhang was much calmer. After seeing me, his anger dissipated, and he revealed a kind smile. First, he apologized for Pei Yuanyi, then he praised me as a young hero. His parents' originally gloomy faces immediately became filled with joy.
I had a guess in my heart, could it be that this fellow had spies? With his current identity, he didn't need to be afraid of me. If he knew that the number one official strongly supported me, he would definitely act like a grandson.
Of course, Pei Huazhang's politeness was only towards me, he was a little disdainful towards Shangguan Guoqiang. This made grandpa very angry, but he didn't explode.
In the past, the two of them had a lot of interactions. When Shangguan Guoqiang was still the commander, Pei Huazhang treated him with all kinds of respect. Now that he had replaced Shangguan Guoqiang's position, he was practically looking down on others.
Shangguan Guoqiang could be considered to have experienced the fickleness of the world. Actually, at his age, there were many things that he didn't care about, including the position of the commander of the Nan Yun Army. He had long wanted to retire to the second line, but he couldn't find a suitable right-hand man. When I finally appeared, and he didn't really approve of me, he proposed to carry the flag, but I tactfully rejected him. Not long after that, I had completely gained the ability and responsibility, and this opportunity no longer existed. Thinking about this, Shangguan Guoqiang felt depressed and melancholy. If Pei Huazhang successfully became the commander, then the hard work that he had put in for most of his life would have gone to someone else.
"Acting commander, right?
I will give you two choices now. One, resign and return this position to Grandpa Shangguan. Two, I will drag you down. Which one do you choose? "I said coldly.
"Ah."
Pei Huazhang was caught off guard, he didn't think that I wouldn't play my cards according to common sense. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. Just when he thought that our relationship had eased up a little, I made such a difficult request.
