The Unknown God of War

Chapter 46

At this moment, a fierce-looking burly man with a wide nose came in, his fists were rough and calloused and he was walking with a magnificent stride. At first glance, one can tell that he was a martial artist. It was Li Ziyang’s number one bodyguard, Hei Hu.

“Hei Hu, sit wherever you want,” Li Ziyang said aloud without raising his head, keeping his eyes on the Lincoln limousine that just arrived downstairs.

Hei Hu nodded and looked down with contempt. “Young Master Li, it's merely a car worth about 20 million. If you really like it, just get your people to buy it.”

Although cars worth 20 million could easily attract the attention of ordinary folks, they were nothing but large toys in the eyes of Li Ziyang and these other rich giants; even Hei Hu could afford this car easily.

Li Ziyang shook his head, squinting his eyes as he said in a deep voice, “Hei Hu, you only look at the surface level of things. Take a closer look at this car, what is the difference between this car from others?”

Hei Hu frowned as he looked closely this time, and his expression sobered instantly. “A military car plate? This is pretty interesting.” He was deep in thought, but his tone was still full of arrogance as he continued, “But Young Master Li, our Li family has connections all over Jiangling. Even the officer with real power in the military theater is an honored guest of Mr. Li’s. The Lincoln car would probably mean that he was nothing beyond the rank of a field officer, nothing special.”

“It’s not such a simple matter, Hei Hu. Look at the patterns adorned on the door, did you see the dragon patterns?” Li Ziyang said as he shook his head and pointed at the patterns on the Lincoln limousine; there was a dragon pattern that was not normally visible if one didn’t look hard enough.

“I’ve seen a lot of military vehicles in the past before, but this is the first time I’ve seen one with the pattern of a dragon head,” Li Ziyang said as his eyes were filled with fear. “I’ve heard from my father that the dragon head pattern is a symbol of Donghua’s glory. If you are not someone of a high rank, you’re not allowed to use it without permission, as that would be a crime punishable by death. Even the mayor of Jiangling and the head of Jiangling’s military theater were not qualified to use the pattern. It was said that ten years ago when the number one commander under Lord Chu came to visit Jiangling, he was riding in a similar luxury car with dragon head patterns on it!”

Hei Hu suddenly gulped down some air, his heart trembling; what did it signify to be a great commander under Lord Chu, just what kind of distinguished identity was this? Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Lord Chu was a great figure, holding the authority to command the entire military. Under his command, he was the number one general with forces numbering up to eight hundred thousand soldiers, enough to compare with the four military theaters of Jiangling. Right now, there was a bigshot with a similar status, if not even greater, waiting just below their tea house. This...

“Just why did such a prestigious figure arrive here in Jiangling City?” Hei Hu said as he sucked in the air, feeling true fear. “He couldn’t possibly be here to come after our Li Family, could he? After all, the methods we’ve been using to make money in the past years had been pretty much illegal.”

Li Ziyang laughed to himself, waving his hands as he answered, “Hei Hu, you’re overthinking it. Even though our Li Family has a lot of influence and assets here in Jiangling, we are far from being able to influence the whole nation. That bigshot in thar car, he could even turn the entire Jiangling upside down with just a mere wave of his hands. Our Li family is not even worth anything in his eyes.”

A feeling of powerlessness rose within Li Ziyang. As the ‘First Young Master of Jiangling’, this was the first time for him to feel so powerless and helpless. He could only sigh bitterly and thought to himself that there were powers way beyond his reach, and worlds beyond worlds.

“Hei Hu, once Chu Feng comes over, handle it properly in order to not disturb that big shot. Do you understand?”

“Yes,” Hei Hu nodded as he said.

Li Ziyang had mixed feelings of awe and fear toward the incoming luxury car. Deep in his heart, he was worried that his actions today would upset the bigshot. With just a wave of his hands, he could easily cause the eradication of the Li Family.

Hopefully, this big shot was just passing through here… Li Ziyang took a deep breath and returned to the tea brewing table, skilfully brewing a pot of Kung Fu Tea, to meditate and calm the feeling of unease he had.

About half a minute after Li Ziyang and Hei Hu left the balcony, just downstairs, the Lincoln luxury car with the dragon head patterns stopped and the doors opened wide.
