Chu Baxing's words caught everyone present off guard. Even Qin Siyang frowned slightly.
I'd just thought Crown Prince Chu had grown. Was he about to let his emotions get the better of him again?
Xiang Tianxiao suddenly turned his gaze on Chu Baxing. "If that's what you think, then there's nothing left to discuss. Today, even if you've brought Qin Siyang with you, even if you kill me, the 1st Division will never obey you!"
Chu Baxing said, "You think I'm wrong?"
"Isn't that obvious?! Are you the only pillar of strength in the world? The only genius? Chu Baxing, you underestimate everyone else far too much!"
Chu Baxing gave a cold smile. "I used to think I was underestimating others. Only later did I realize that those people simply had no backbone!"
Chu Baxing spoke with righteous conviction. "I've never looked down on my father or Chief of Staff Zheng. I've never looked down on Army Commander Qu or Division Commander Xiang. I even respect Division Commander Huang, who wanted to break away before my father's body was cold. For no other reason than that all your abilities command my admiration."
Huang Yihan squirmed in his seat. He wanted to say something, but Chu Baxing raised a hand to stop him.
Chu Baxing continued, "But I do look down on your children. Aside from Zheng Cong, not one of them measures up in my eyes. Why? Because they truly are the worst of the worst!"
Chu Baxing met the furious Xiang Tianxiao's gaze, his words ringing with force. "I don't know why, but the atmosphere among the second generation in our Chu Character Legion's military camp is utterly bizarre! They don't compete over advancing their sequence, the number of gods they've hunted, or their ability to command in battle!
