Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 363

Chapter 363: For the Country

Xu Cheng sat down onto the ground. At this time, he really wanted to take a smoke to ease the depressed feeling in his heart.

Bei Shan waited until all the remaining Dragon Division members grouped again before coming over to find Xu Cheng. At last, they arrived at the Li Family, and they just saw a trail of blood and corpses to and at the gate. Cross-checking with the data they had, these people were all front-line masters of the Li Family.

The three Sky Kings saw Xu Cheng sitting there, with his head down.

Bei Shan ran over and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

Xu Cheng shook his head. He lifted his head, looked at those three senior brothers of his, and asked, “Do we have to kill the women and kids too?”

Bei Shan nodded with a determined expression.

Xu Cheng rubbed his hair and said, feeling dejected, “Why?”

The Ace of Clovers sighed and said, “Weeds grows back if the roots aren’t removed. These descendants of the behemoth clans have a strong sense of belonging, and if we don’t uproot them once and for all, the consequences will be dire.”

Bei Shan patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder and said, “Leave the rest to us, your mission is done. You did it.”

“I regret doing all of this.” Xu Cheng sighed, “I also don’t know if what I did was right or wrong… I would rather go and kill the enemies from foreign countries than kill our own people! Even if I didn’t kill those women and kids, I also became an accomplice.”

Then, he stood up and walked out of the Li Family Manor alone.

Afterward, there were waves of miserable cries coming from behind him. He closed his eyes in pain. Maybe during this lifetime, this was a memory that he would never want to remember. Maybe it was the death of his mother, or maybe it was because he always thought he was on the side of justice, and even though the interests of the country were above all else, he still couldn’t stand all of these people dying. Maybe, he still had flesh and blood, and he couldn’t become completely cold-blooded.

As he was leaving, Xu Cheng faintly said to Bei Shan, “Senior Brother, I want to take a break for the next little while.”

Bei Shan understandingly nodded.

– Yanjing –

Inside Zhang Chenfeng’s courtyard, both old men from the Li and Murong Families leaned against the large tree in the courtyard, injured. The days of autumn were a bit chilly, and the leaves were slowly falling to the ground.

After the Ace of Spades took out the 6 guards and came to help, he was also injured and was now unconscious in a corner. As for the old man Zhang Chenfeng, he was leaning against the wall. All three of these old men had blood by their mouths, and they breathed heavily as they stared right at each other. The situation was very tense.

Zhang Chenfeng suddenly grinned and laughed. “If I was still at my peak, you two pieces of garbage wouldn’t even have dared to come tonight!”

“We already bribed your personal doctor, and he said you were on the verge of death. If we don’t do it now, when else? A mad dog like you would definitely take action before you die, so we might as well just come and watch you,” the old man of the Murong Family said.

Zhang Chenfeng sneered. “What’s the use of watching me? You really think the Dragon Division can’t operate without me?”

“After you die, we actually indeed wouldn’t worry about those pieces of garbage at the Dragon Division at all.” The old man of the Li Family sneered. “You really think we don’t have the documents on those children of yours? 4 Sky Kings, 12 Earth Kings, and the rest are all A to A+ class garbage! As for the 12 Earth Kings, any one of our guest masters could easily win a 1 on 1 duel. And for the 4 Sky Kings, the elders of the clan can still take care of them. Just with that puny Dragon Division, without you, you really think they have a chance to win? Don’t think we are idiots. The Ye and Ryong Families were killed one after another, not at the same time. If it wasn’t for you that led those Dragon Blades, we wouldn’t believe it even if we die.”

Zhang Chenfeng suddenly broke out in laughter upon hearing this, as if he heard the funniest joke in his life.

“Old man, what are you laughing at?” the old man of the Murong Family snorted.

“Let me laugh for a bit longer first.” Zhang Chenfeng even began coughing from laughing too hard. Then, waving his hand, he looked at those two old men and said, “So, you guys came over tonight to watch me, and you think nothing will go wrong back home, right?”

“Wrong. We are not just here to watch you, we are also here to kill!” the old man of the Li Family said, “We already set up everything. After you die, your personal doctor will draft a death certificate and state some random reason, and the Dragon Division will naturally fall apart.”

Zhang Chenfeng began laughing again wildly.

“If it was just a few years ago, the Dragon Division would indeed disband if they lost me. But you think I wouldn’t have thought about it too?” Zhang Chenfeng faintly smiled. “I know you guys were intercepting talents with money in the dark so the Dragon Division couldn’t recruit the best of the younger generation to deal with you guys. But, you guys missed one person, and what a coincidence, it might’ve been fate, but you guys indeed looked down on him too and even wanted to kill him.”

The two old men narrowed their eyes. “Who?”

The old man of the Li Family thought for a second and said, “Xu Cheng? What is that guy capable of? He’s at most A+ in power, us behemoth families really didn’t need to try to recruit him and offend the Ryong and Ye Families.”

“Yeah, so in this whole game, everyone would forget about this guy, and that’s the key.” A mysterious and profound smile appeared on Zhang Chenfeng’s face.

The two old men snorted. “Old man, stop playing mysterious here with us. We just don’t know why you are so set on fighting the behemoth families.”

Zhang Chenfeng’s smile grew bigger. “You are wrong. I’m not against all behemoth families, just you four!”

He found a comfortable position by the wall and continued, “You want to know why?”

Those two old men didn’t talk, but one could tell that they were curious from the look of their eyes.

Zhang Chenfeng: “Back then, when I went to study abroad, I warned my family to not participate in politics, because no king can stay in power for ever. But, they didn’t listen and even kicked me out of the house. After being away for awhile, indeed, the Qing Dynasty ended, and the Zhang Family began running in all directions, and that is when I found out, the collapse of the Zhang Family was caused by backstabbing! And there were four families that were involved, and they were the Li, Ye, Ryong, and Murong! They were like bandits, swallowing all of the assets of the Zhang Family, which had been at its prime, to strengthen themselves.”

Those two old men’s eyes widened as they looked at Zhang Chenfeng. “You are the missing orphan of the Zhang Family?!”

Although there was blood on Zhang Chenfeng’s face, he still appeared to be very graceful. As a grandmaster of a generation, he elegantly smiled. “But I didn’t focus on you four because you killed the Zhang Family. Rather, it’s for one word.”

The two old men’s eyes narrowed. “What?”

Zhang Chenfeng: “Country!”

Those two old men sneered. “Old man, if you were up against the Zhang Family today, would you still be able to be this heartless and determined?”

Zhang Chenfeng said resolutely, “Yes! Sacrificing a family to protect the peace of this country! Take a look, the country’s growing stronger and stronger by the day, but if the power was held by one single person, the country would go back to what it was like before and relive the history. So, I definitely won’t allow a feudal system to reappear!”

The old man of the Li Family said mockingly, “You are such a great man, but what use does that have? You still can’t change reality. Besides the Dragon Division, what other cards do you have to destroy us?”
