Chapter 1217 - 1216: Elder Feng Meets the Dragon King
After hearing Carter’s words, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned heavy!
The might of the Tyrant—there isn’t a soul in the entire Dark Realm who doesn’t know his name!
The three of them might be the Guards at the Emperor’s side, but last year even the Emperor was defeated by Lin Fan; now they were to join forces to take Lin Fan’s head—this was obviously no small matter!
James took a drag on his cigar and said, "Back when I challenged the Emperor, it’s a pity I never got to find the Tyrant. Everyone says how terrifying this man is. I really do want to meet this legendary figure of the Dark Era!"
Alice said, "I was there for that battle between the Emperor and the Tyrant. I know a bit about the Tyrant’s strength. Although the Tyrant defeated the Emperor, it was a very hard fight. But with the three of us working together, even the Emperor would have trouble beating us. With our combined strength, killing him is absolutely no problem!"
"Do we know where the Tyrant is now?" James asked.
Carter said, "My people just sent word from Huaxia. The Tyrant is currently heading from Yanjing to the northeast. Huaxia’s northeast is huge—if we go there, we won’t attract too much attention."
"Huaxia? Heh! I’ve heard that place is a forbidden zone for mercenaries and assassins. I really am curious what’s so special about it. This trip to Huaxia—I’m definitely going!" James burst out laughing heartily!
But in his eyes, cold, razor‑sharp killing intent flickered!
"Guarding the Emperor’s honor, of course you can’t do it without me!" Alice also stated her position!
"Since that’s the case, everyone, let’s not delay. We’ll head to Huaxia together, and hopefully we can kill the Tyrant. When the Emperor returns, we’ll present this as a congratulatory gift to welcome him back!" Carter said coldly!
James and Alice both nodded, indicating they had no objections!
Then, the three of them stood up in unison and headed out of the room!
A battle was quietly, silently beginning to unfold!
...
At this moment Lin Fan knew nothing about any of this. Early the next morning, he and Feng Chengcheng boarded a plane bound for Harbin!
However, not long after Lin Fan and Feng Chengcheng left, Elder Feng, accompanied by Feng Hua, got into a car and left the Feng Family’s old residence, heading toward Dragon Garden!
Dragon Garden was as heavily guarded as ever; even Elder Feng’s own old residence didn’t have defenses as strict as Dragon Garden’s!
After all, the Dragon King was more than twenty years younger than Elder Feng; to Elder Feng, he counted as a junior!
Moreover, back when the Dragon King and Ye Shouxin were young, they had both served in the unit under Elder Feng’s command!
But time is merciless. The soldiers Elder Feng once led fought in the War of Resistance; by now, many of them have already passed away, and many others have fully retired from the stage!
Yet the soldiers brought up by the Dragon King are still young; they’re all at their peak, all occupy important positions, and all hold the Dragon King’s kindness in their hearts. Naturally, that makes Dragon Garden’s security system unprecedentedly strong!
When the military vehicle stopped at the gates of Dragon Garden, Feng Hua hurriedly got out to open the door for Elder Feng, carefully helping him down and handing him his cane!
The two Guard soldiers at the gate of Dragon Garden were both greatly shocked when they saw Elder Feng!
The man before them was one of Huaxia’s living legends, a grandmaster of the military. He almost never left his home. Many people had only heard his name, at most seen his photos; very few had ever laid eyes on Elder Feng in person!
Seeing this, the two Guard soldiers practically panicked. How would they dare be careless? They quickly stepped forward and gave him a respectful salute!
"Greetings, old leader!" the two Guard soldiers said!
Elder Feng had joined the army as a youth and devoted his whole life to the military. For people of Elder Feng’s generation, the military salute would forever be the most solemn gesture!
Elder Feng did not dare to be negligent. He returned their salute and said, "Go tell the Dragon King I’m here!"
"Yes, sir!"
One of the Guard soldiers nodded and quickly ran into the compound!
The other helped Feng Hua support Elder Feng as they walked into the courtyard!
They had just entered the courtyard when Bai Weiwei walked out from inside!
Seeing Master Feng, Bai Weiwei respectfully called out, "Sir Feng."
Elder Feng smiled kindly and said, "Bai Girl, I haven’t seen you in so long. You really have grown into a proper young lady—you’re getting prettier and prettier!"
"Sir Feng, you’re teasing me!"
Bai Weiwei smiled lightly and said, "My godfather isn’t in any condition to come out and greet you, so he asked me to come out instead!"
"Sigh! I never thought that battle back then would leave your godfather with such a serious hidden injury. It’s been hard on our Huaxia hero!" Elder Feng sighed!
"Sir Feng, don’t worry. My godfather has already recovered a lot. I’d say it won’t be long before he can stand up again!" Bai Weiwei said.
Elder Feng nodded and said, "Take me in then!"
"All right!"
Bai Weiwei nodded, took over from the Guard soldier in supporting Elder Feng, and led him toward the inner courtyard of Dragon Garden!
Dragon Garden was the same as ever, but now that it was summer, with spring in full bloom, the reclaimed patches of land were covered with all kinds of flowers and plants, and there were even vegetables growing there. As the Dragon King put it, what you grow yourself is more reassuring to eat!
Under the stone‑built pavilion, Ye Shouxin was, as usual, sitting on a stone stool with his eyes closed, resting. Beside him, a kettle was set on a brazier; the water inside had already boiled and was letting out a "woo, woo, woo" sound!
However, Ye Shouxin seemed not to hear it at all. He didn’t move a muscle, like a rock!
It wasn’t until Elder Feng walked into the inner courtyard that Ye Shouxin’s ears twitched slightly. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
When he saw Elder Feng, Ye Shouxin immediately stood up, quickly walked over to meet him, and gave him a salute. "Greetings, old leader!" he said.
"Hehe, Ye, after all these years you still have this habit. About what happened back then... sigh..." Elder Feng gave a bitter smile and sighed repeatedly, about to say more but stopping himself!
The Dragon King and Ye Shouxin had both come up from the units under Elder Feng’s command; when the two of them were at their peak, it was under Elder Feng’s care that they rose step by step!
As for why Ye Shouxin ended up in this state, the reasons behind it are probably known only to Elder Feng and the Dragon King in this entire world!
Ye Shouxin didn’t reply. But after hearing Elder Feng’s words, his expression shifted slightly; in those deep eyes of his, a trace of confusion flickered!
"Come inside with me and let’s go find that brat, the Dragon King!" Master Feng said with a smile!
"Yes, sir!" Ye Shouxin nodded!
After that, they hesitated no longer and all headed into the house together!
As the door opened, the Dragon King, who had already seen Elder Feng coming, pressed his hands on the arms of his chair and was about to stand up!
But when Elder Feng saw this, he suddenly sped up his pace and quickly said, "You old brat, sit your ass down and stay put! If you hurt yourself by accident and your subordinates find out it had anything to do with me, they’ll be cursing me every day to go down to hell to see King Yama!"
