"Xiaofei... you're a badass!"
Wild Chicken, Bai Bing, and the others stared at Yue Xiaofei in his General Officer Dress Uniform, his commanding presence on full display, their faces flushed with excitement.
"Wake him up."
Yue Xiaofei's quiet voice broke the deathly silence.
His gaze settled on Sun Xiaochuan, who lay sprawled in the muddy water like a dead dog. His eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion.
"Yes, sir!"
Two soldiers from the 800th Company immediately stepped forward.
One scooped up a helmetful of icy muddy water from a nearby puddle and, without a shred of courtesy, dumped it over Sun Xiaochuan's face, drenching him from head to toe!
"Cough! Cough, cough!"
The icy muddy water instantly choked Sun Xiaochuan awake.
He opened his eyes. The first things he saw were Yue Xiaofei's expressionless face and the golden General's Star on his shoulder, dazzling enough to sear a man's soul!
Major General!
Those words echoed frantically through his mind like a death curse!
"No... don't kill me..."
The "King of Jinling," who had been so arrogant just moments before, treating human lives as worthless, now scrambled backward on his hands and feet like a homeless cur, his voice filled with terror and pleading.
The empire of wealth and power he had built had been crushed to dust before the nation's true machinery of force!
The three thousand men he had taken such pride in were now being herded onto military trucks like livestock awaiting slaughter, driven along by rifle butts in the hands of fully armed soldiers.
Cries and pleas for mercy filled the air.
Laughable!
Utterly laughable!
Yue Xiaofei looked down at him, his gaze as cold as ice.
"Kill you? That would be letting you off too easily."
There wasn't a trace of warmth in Yue Xiaofei's
