Elder Xu's voice echoed through the vast banquet hall like rolling thunder, stunning everyone who heard it!
Every word struck like a heavy hammer, pounding deep into everyone's souls!
Below the stage, utter silence had already fallen.
Everyone had been left completely dumbfounded by Yue Xiaofei's earth-shaking feats, one after another!
Slaying the enemy leader!
Holding the enemy at their border!
Planting the national flag!
Saving countless lives!
How could any human being accomplish such things?
This was myth! This was legend!
And now, that living legend stood right before them!
Xu Yiming's body trembled uncontrollably.
He finally understood why his great-grandfather had personally gone out to welcome Yue Xiaofei with the highest honors!
Why every general in the Xu Family had saluted him!
Why the hall full of commanders and distinguished officials had treated him with such respect!
Yue Xiaofei had never been basking in his grandfather Yue Qinhu's glory.
Yue Xiaofei himself was that most dazzling light!
An unparalleled light so brilliant that even the sun, moon, and stars paled before it!
Everything he had done for this country and its people made him worthy of any honor or respect they could bestow!
Compared with Yue Xiaofei's achievements, Xu Yiming's status as a member of a collateral branch of the Xu Family and his rank as a Navy Major were nothing but a joke!
Before such a true national hero, Xu Yiming was as insignificant as a speck of dust!
Yet earlier, when Yue Xiaofei had wanted to go to the main hall, Xu Yiming had actually thought he was joking, chasing an impossible dream!
How ridiculous that seemed now! How ignorant!
Forget merely entering the main banquet hall!
Given Yue Xiaofei's achievements, even if Elder Xu had offered him the seat of honor at today's birthday banquet,
