Zhang Beihai's phone call was like a super-bomb dropped on Longdu in the dead of night, even more devastating than a strike from [Godslayer]!
The news spread at an unimaginable speed through every channel, overt and covert!
It was not just the highest ranks of Military Headquarters.
The Eight Great Clans, the Great Hidden Families, and even Intelligence Organizations from around the world lurking in Longdu...
Everyone with access to information at that level received the news immediately-news that would keep them awake all night!
That man!
The man who should have been secretly executed for treason five years ago, erased from this world forever!
He had returned!
And he had returned in overwhelming, invincible glory, like a god descending upon the world!
For a time, Longdu's entire Underworld boiled over at the news!
Countless phones rang off the hook!
Countless secret orders were issued!
Countless figures darted through the darkness, rushing from place to place!
Longdu, that ancient, sprawling city, seemed to have become a massive powder keg on the verge of exploding!
And the fuse that would ignite it was the name that had resurfaced after five years-
Yue Changlong!
Meanwhile.
Through the Bureau 7 soldiers who had evacuated, the news also spread rapidly through another circle by unofficial, private channels.
It was a circle made up of countless veterans who had once served under Yue Changlong.
Some now held high positions, commanding forces of their own.
Some had left the military and returned to civilian life, becoming ordinary workers, ordinary farmers, or ordinary office employees.
Their identities and standing were worlds apart.
But they all shared one name-
Soldiers of the [Ironblood Division]!
Soldiers of the [7th Armored Company]!
And in their hearts, Yue Changlong would always be their company commander!
Always their division commander!
Always
