The Mayor's Son

Yang Chen nodded, feeling somewhat shaken. As he looked toward Liu Feng, a trace of dread flickered in his eyes.

Too strong!

A mere slight movement had been enough to unleash an aura so powerful that even Yang Chen could not contend with it.

One had to realize, Yang Chen was no longer the novice who had just stepped into the world of ability users!

Yet, even so, when the corner of that sword case had been lifted, Yang Chen had been unable to withstand it. What kind of existence was the person before him, exactly?

Yang Chen's estimation of Liu Feng in his heart had risen significantly once more.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Yang Chen bowed slightly toward Liu Feng, speaking with solemnity.

Only now did Yang Chen truly accept, from the bottom of his heart, the master that Chen Tianxin had found for him!

Before this, there had still been some lingering resentment.

Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction, then sat back in his seat, watching Yang Chen.

Yang Chen understood instantly. He brought over a cup of tea from the side, walked forward gently, and offered it up.

"Master, please have some tea!"

"Good!"

Liu Feng smiled indifferently, took the tea Yang Chen offered, and sipped it lightly before looking at Yang Chen with satisfaction.

"You can be considered my second disciple. Come, meet your senior brother!"

"Senior brother?"

Yang Chen looked around the room, only to find that, aside from the Grandmasters, there was no one else present.

Just then, Shan Shou slowly stepped forward. A rare smile appeared on his stiff face, though it looked rather chilling no matter how one viewed it.

"Junior brother!"

Shan Shou held his great blade in one arm while waving at Yang Chen with the other.

Yang Chen was stunned, and a wave of shock surged through his heart.

Shan Shou was Liu Feng's disciple!

One had to know, Shan Shou was an existence at the Shackles Realm, an invincible force under Heaven Gate!

Yet, such an existence was actually Liu Feng's apprentice!

Hiss!

Terrifying!

Yang Chen drew a sharp breath and clicked his tongue.

"Senior brother!"

Yang Chen bowed once more.

Just then, the doors to the VIP lounge slowly opened. A middle-aged man with a square face walked in, followed by a youth with an arrogant expression, his eyes held high as if he looked down on everyone present.

"Greetings to all Grandmasters!"

As soon as the middle-aged man entered, he bowed to the group before looking toward Chen Tianxin.

Chen Tianxin was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected this person to show up, but he still smiled and said to Liu Feng, "Old Liu, this is the mayor of our Jiangnan City, Liu Zihan!"

Liu Feng's expression was not very pleasant. His face remained calm as he cast a faint glance at Liu Zihan, and instantly, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Liu Zihan's forehead.

"Who gave you permission to enter!"

The voice was not loud, but everyone in the VIP lounge could hear it clearly. Yet, even after hearing those words, the Grandmasters made no move, merely looking away as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

Seeing this, Yang Chen did not speak either, simply standing silently beside Shan Shou. His master was clearly becoming angry!

Liu Zihan felt as if he were facing a prehistoric beast. Liu Zihan's cultivation was not weak—otherwise, he could not have attained the position of mayor of Jiangnan City—and his strength had reached the terrifying S-rank, only half a step away from the Grandmaster realm!

But facing Liu Feng, Liu Zihan felt like a small child standing before a hulking giant; he felt insignificant.

"Lord Liu, I..."

Liu Zihan's throat felt dry, and he began to stammer incoherently.

"Give me an explanation, or there will be a new mayor of Jiangnan City by tomorrow!"

Liu Feng tapped his fingers lightly against the armrest of his chair, producing a crisp sound that seemed piercingly sharp throughout the entire hall.

To Liu Zihan's ears, it sounded like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.

"I came here this time because I wanted Lord Liu to see my son!"

Liu Zihan lowered his head and spoke hurriedly. He was terrified; he feared that if he didn't finish speaking, he would be struck down by Liu Feng on the spot!

His son was considered a genius in the entire Jiangnan region. At just over twenty years old, he had already reached the B-rank level. He had learned through certain channels that Liu Feng would be visiting Jiangnan City today.

He wanted to let Liu Feng witness his son's talent; if he could be taken in as a disciple by Liu Feng, his entire family would rise in status accordingly.

He even imagined he might receive some small favors, perhaps even stepping into the realm of a Grandmaster.

However, his vision was beautiful, yet he forgot one thing: did he even have the status to meet Liu Feng?

Who was Liu Feng? Liu Feng was the person in power at Number 98!

He was one of the highest-ranking individuals in all of Huaxia!

He was even among the top tier of people on the entire planet!

Let alone a mere mayor of a small place like Jiangnan City, even a Grandmaster would be respectful upon meeting Liu Feng. By barging in so rashly, he had long since displeased Liu Feng.

Seeing his father in such a state, the young man behind Liu Zihan gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Minister Liu, my father is the mayor of Jiangnan City after all, why must you be so aggressive!"

"Shut up!"

Before Liu Feng could even speak, Liu Zihan let out a roar, the cold sweat on his forehead becoming even denser. He felt an urge to beat his son to death.

Damn it, can't you read the room!

That is the person in power at Number 98! Your father isn't even fit to carry his shoes!

It had to be said, Liu Zihan's self-awareness at this moment was quite clear.

Liu Zihan now realized that his plan to have his son join Liu Feng's ranks was absolutely impossible!

Liu Feng glanced at the young man and said indifferently, "What is your name?"

The young man lifted his head and said, "This young master is Liu Ming!"

"Did I tell you to lift your head?"

Seeing this, Liu Feng shouted angrily. He pressed his palm down slightly, and a terrifying force instantly erupted upon Liu Ming's head.

Thud!

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Ming suddenly plunged headfirst into the floor, the immense power driving his entire body straight into the ground.

He ended up stuck upside down like a leek.

"Tsk tsk!"

Yang Chen looked at Liu Ming with a bit of pity. Why did the kid have to do anything else? He just had to act arrogant, and now he had overdone it!

"Minister Liu, please forgive us. The child is ignorant, I beg you to show mercy!"

Liu Zihan immediately knelt on the ground, pleading with Liu Feng.

To be continued!
