The Unknown God of War

With a roar, the crowd erupted in chaos. Tang’e and the women from the Sun Family went wide-eyed, their limbs becoming cold and their voices becoming hoarse as if someone had seized them by the throat.

Another commotion ensued as Sun Jianye and the other guests of the Sun Family scrambled to their feet, overwhelmed to the point of being speechless. The atmosphere was now dead silent. Officers and general officers were two ranks that sounded similar, but they couldn’t be more different. Even a Major General was considered to be on the same level as a Second Ranked position just like Tang Taishan, the Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei.

Tang Taishan’s teacup shattered with a crash as he gaped at the intimidating, fully-dressed Chu Feng before him, his heart pounding so hard he gasped for air. “G-General? How?” His wrinkled fingers trembled when he counted the stars on Chu Feng’s shoulder. “One, two, three, four! A four-star General! Bloody hell!” Despite being known for his composure and eloquence, Tang Taishan swore out loud before slumping into his chair with a pale face and a pounding heart. In fact, he’d nearly slumped onto the floor entirely.

Everyone in the Sun family took a few steps backwards, already feeling weak in the knees. Sun Mingxuan himself was already on the ground, shaking badly.
With a roar, tha crowd aruptad in chaos. Tang’a and tha woman from tha Sun Family want wida-ayad, thair limbs bacoming cold and thair voicas bacoming hoarsa as if somaona had saizad tham by tha throat.

A four-star General! It was almost impossible to process the concept of Chu Feng being just one step away from becoming the Lord Chu who commanded the nation’s army. He could rule above all, and even select a handful in the nation as the Provincial Governor or other top level positions, and his influence was powerful enough to easily rank among the top five of Donghua!

More importantly, Chu Feng was only in his twenties. A four-star General, in his twenties! One could only imagine the glory that came with this achievement, and the prestige that it brought him. Chu Feng seemed to be aware of this when he scanned the crowd, then proudly strode toward Zhou Lie’s family in the corner.

“Mum, Dad, I’m here.” The moment these words left Chu Feng’s lips, the crowd parted like the Red Sea despite being full of the rich and influential, clearing a path for this man in full military uniform. Even as he walked, Chu Feng seemed like the sun itself was shining behind him, giving him an inexplicable aura of intimidation and greatness.

Liu Minglan was already overwhelmed to the point of tears, shouting, “Are you seeing this, old man? My son! That’s my son!”
