Hearing these incredibly confident words, even powerful figures like Feng Jingsheng were completely at a loss. The entire Future Alliance had been utterly annihilated, and they could not understand why Ma Wenyuan was still so confident. On what basis?
CLATTER... CLATTER...
At that very mont, the sound of rapid, uniform footsteps echoed from outside as figures in green uniforms filed in, completely securing the area.
Everyone present was stunned by the scene. A quick glance was enough to estimate that several thousand people had suddenly appeared. Critically, they were all fully ard elite soldiers. What is going on?
The Fan and Zheng family mbers trembled with fear; they had seen this kind of formation before. They knew a powerful force backed Chen Zheng. Did he call them out just to show off?
Just then, the crowd parted. A woman with an indifferent expression, wearing leather boots, walked through and stood protectively in front of Ma Wenyuan.
Everyone was completely taken aback by this developnt. These troops were brought by Ma Wenyuan? Besides the Alliance, this man has connections with the military?
Chen Zheng glanced at Ma Wenyuan, a sneer touching his lips. "Is this your so-called greatest trump card?" The Central Plains Wolf actually dares to ddle in my affairs? Does he really think I’m a pushover?
"War God Chen, my sincerest apologies," Long Tianyun said. "This is a matter of duty. I have no choice!"
Truthfully, Long Tianyun had no desire to beco Chen Zheng’s enemy. But this ti, the order had co directly from the Marshal: protect Ma Wenyuan, no matter the cost.
"Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Chen Zheng asked calmly.
Zhao Feng, standing behind him, took a step forward. He didn’t need to consider whose territory this was. He knew only one thing: the man before him was the War God’s greatest enemy. It didn’t matter who ca to interfere.
Suddenly, an invisible killing aura radiated from Zhao Feng. Even with their thousands of soldiers, the army’s combined presence seed to falter before him. In monts, their formation fell into disarray.
Zhao Feng had now reached the half-step Grandmaster realm. Combined with his iron-blooded experience from the battlefield, his aura was sothing ordinary troops simply could not withstand.
Long Tianyun clenched her fists, cold sweat dripping from her tense forehead. She had brought her entire force, but in terms of sheer presence, she was still severely outmatched.
The man opposite her was War God Chen. Who in all of Huaxia would dare to oppose him? I’m only doing this because I have no choice!
Just then, Long Tianyun’s phone rang. She let out a breath of relief and quickly held it out. "It’s our Marshal!"
Chen Zheng waved his hand, and Zhao Feng respectfully handed the phone over. After taking it, Chen Zheng’s voice was ice-cold. "You have one minute. If you don’t explain yourself clearly, your subordinate won’t be making it back!"
Chen Zheng moved to the side, using his power to seal off the imdiate area to ensure their conversation would not be overheard. He had reason to believe that unless the situation was particularly complicated and desperate, the Central Plains Wolf would never have taken such a huge risk to offend him by protecting Ma Wenyuan. He’s not that foolish!
After all, when Chen Zheng had dealt with his son, the old fellow hadn’t dared to utter a peep, even coming to his door to apologize personally, unwilling to escalate the matter. So why would he possibly do sothing like this now for no reason?
"Chen Zheng, I truly have no choice in this," the Central Plains Wolf sighed helplessly over the phone. "This is an order from the higher-ups at the Security Bureau!"
"The Security Bureau?" Chen Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly, a disdainful smile curling his lips. "Since when do we need to listen to them?"
"Chen Zheng..." the Central Plains Wolf’s tone was grave. "I just received the order. The Security Bureau is temporarily replacing our Governor General and taking command of all forces!"
"What do you an?" Chen Zheng’s brows tightened. "The Governor General has been sidelined?" This is not good news.
"It’s not that dramatic; he’s just been temporarily replaced. But you should understand how awkward the Governor General’s position is right now. We have the Earth Demon within and a shadow war without. The situation is extraordinary. Chen Zheng... for the sake of the bigger picture, please take a step back. Do it for the Governor General... and for Huaxia!"
The Central Plains Wolf’s tone was extrely heavy as he spoke these last words.
Hearing this, Chen Zheng’s fists clenched tightly. Changing his mind wasn’t in his nature, but the phrase "for the Governor General, for Huaxia" made him waver. How could I allow the stability won by the sacrifices of countless people to be destroyed over my personal grudge?
"I understand..." Chen Zheng let out a long breath and hung up.
A heavy pressure remained suppressed in his heart, not yet released. Over the years, as their forces had grown stronger, it was inevitable that they would attract envy and jealousy.
Chen Zheng sneered. They’re using a situation bought with countless lives for their own power struggles? If I ever break through to an even higher level, I will personally ask those people if their actions do justice to the brave soldiers who died for this peace.
Chen Zheng’s gaze fell on Ma Wenyuan, his eyes as cold as ice. "I won’t touch you for now, nor will I threaten your life. But you are absolutely forbidden from leaving Jiangnan. Otherwise, I don’t care who is backing you, I will tear you to pieces!"
With that, he and Zhao Feng quickly departed.
This can wait. I’ll deal with the Earth Demon first, then settle this matter.
At that mont, everyone was shocked beyond asure. They had expected a bloodbath, yet Chen Zheng had simply left. He had thrown out a few harsh threats before leaving, but what use were they?
In the eyes of most people, Chen Zheng had simply acted out of fear.
"Hahaha... He thinks he’s so fierce, that he can do whatever he wants, but it looks like that’s all he amounts to!"
"So what if he killed the Alliance Hierarch? In the face of absolute power, he still rolls over like a dog, doesn’t he?"
Of course, the only ones laughing out loud were Fan Xukun and Zheng Qingyun. In their eyes, Chen Zheng had been cowed by the Central Plains Division.
