Everyone then knew for certain that Leino’s brother from Long Wu had arrived.
At the entrance, they saw a burly man slowly walk in. He was tall and well-built, almost 1.9 meters, dressed in a green jacket that highlighted his impressive chest muscles beneath a military vest, his feet clad in boots.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lei Tianlong.
The eyes of many young ladies shone even brighter.
Lei Family’s Lei Tianlong, a Major General-level figure in the Lei Family, was absolutely a role model for the younger generation.
If Zhao Chuanxing was eminent in the Scholarly Realm, then Lei Tianlong was the strongest in the Martial Realm. At the age of twenty-seven, he had become a Major General, which was truly astonishing.
At least, the young people present felt they couldn’t achieve this.
Seeing Lei Tianlong, Leino immediately greeted him with a smile, "Cousin, I’m here!"
Lei Tianlong approached and said with a smile, "Cousin, where is that Zhao Chuanxing? Didn’t you say he’s here?"
"General Lei!" Zhao Chuanxing stepped forward with an extended hand.
As Lei Tianlong saw the man before him dressed in scholarly clothes, he promptly stretched out his large, sturdy hand, "Brother Zhao, I’ve long admired you!"
"I’ve always heard that members of Long Wu are like fierce tigers, and today, seeing General Lei, it is indeed as the legends describe!" Zhao Chuanxing didn’t forget to offer his flattery as well.
The two quickly became familiar with one another.
This generation, watched by those around them, was envied—Zhao Family and Lei Family were presumably going to be very powerful, becoming the new four great families of Xuanjing City.
At this moment, Secretary Qin, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly. He sighed for Zhao Chuanxing. Zhao Chuanxing’s action was not wrong; befriending Lei Tianlong would bring him great benefits for his future career. However, the problem was that Zhao Chuanxing had provoked the wrong person, someone who was truly ascending to become a dragon. In front of this individual, both Zhao Chuanxing and Lei Tianlong were as insignificant as ants.
Lei Tianlong was still conversing with Zhao Chuanxing.
"I heard, Brother Zhao, that you encountered some trouble?" Lei Tianlong asked.
"Yes, it’s just a little hiccup, nothing for General Lei to worry about!" Zhao Chuanxing replied.
"No... Now that we are friends, how can I stand aside? Just tell me who it is!" Lei Tianlong insisted.
"It’s him..." Zhao Chuanxing pointed at Tang Zhong in the distance.
This time, Zhao Chuanxing had to ensure his name became the center of attention—as he was about to become the secretary of a high-ranking minister, he needed to establish his authority.
"Good!" Lei Tianlong scrutinized Tang Zhong with narrowed eyes.
Swaggering over, he suddenly noticed Secretary Qin, "Secretary Qin, what wind has blown you here?"
Secretary Qin didn’t reply. Normally, he would definitely interact with a Major General, but today he couldn’t, because he was standing with Tang Zhong.
When Lei Tianlong didn’t receive a response from Secretary Qin, he felt somewhat embarrassed, but he couldn’t afford to show anger towards Secretary Qin, so he ended up offering an awkward smile.
"Lei Tianlong, becoming a General was not easy for you, hence, proceed with caution!" Secretary Qin couldn’t resist advising.
He felt a reminder was never wrong, hoping to persuade Lei Tianlong to back down.
Hearing this, Lei Tianlong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Secretary Qin..."
He grasped the hint in the words and turned to look at Tang Zhong, who appeared ordinary. What could such a person amount to? Thus, he disregarded Secretary Qin’s words, and besides, with so many people watching, if he showed any weakness at this moment, what would they think of him?
Seeing Lei Tianlong’s action, Secretary Qin shook his head helplessly. He had said as much as was appropriate; anything more would be unseemly.
Then Lei Tianlong, looking at Tang Zhong, spoke disdainfully, "Kid, I heard it was you who smashed my cousin’s restaurant and bullied Brother Zhao?"
"It was me," Tang Zhong answered with a nonchalant smile.
Lei Tianlong was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting such a response. He had revealed his identity, and the other party should be trembling with fear—surely, it was all an act.
"Who gave you the guts to trash the establishment and beat up Brother Zhao’s brother? If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving!" Lei Tianlong demanded fiercely.
It was clear to see that Lei Tianlong’s aura soared to an explosive level as soon as he appeared.
"That guy knows he’s in big trouble now!"
"Secretary Qin may have really mistaken the person!"
"I won’t leave," Tang Zhong said with a smile.
No one had expected Tang Zhong to respond like that.
"What did you say?" Lei Tianlong’s fists clenched together.
Since when did such trash dare to talk back.
"Give you one second to kneel down and apologize!" Tang Zhong said coldly.
Kneeling down to apologize, those words instantaneously caused a stir, as no one had expected Tang Zhong to suddenly utter such a statement.
The other party was from Long Wu, that elite troop full of special forces!
Zhao Chuanxing, Leino, and others heard Tang Zhong’s words, barely paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter, laughing so hard they doubled over.
"This is too funny, the joke of the century, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone from Long Wu being told to kneel!"
"Yeah, I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Has this guy gone crazy, thinking he can fight, and now he’s wildly arrogant?"
"And one second to kneel down..."
The socialites laughed even harder.
Secretary Qin didn’t laugh because making Lei Tianlong kneel was a breeze for Tang Zhong; the man who could make the entire Luo Country bow down. So many in the Luo Country, with their nation struck down like that, didn’t dare say a word against it; what was the Lei Family in comparison? Moreover, there were rumors that Tang Zhong had become the Chief Instructor of Long Wu.
This time, it was not just the Zhao Family that was finished, but likely the Lei Family as well.
Lei Tianlong also burst into loud laughter, pointed at Tang Zhong with his finger and said, "Trash, give me one more piece of your nonsense, or else I’ll beat you so badly you’ll end up in the hospital today!"
"Alright then!" Tang Zhong replied with an icy laugh.
At this moment, he didn’t speak, but Su Ao, who was standing behind him, couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward, throwing a punch at Lei Tianlong.
To Su Ao, Mr. Tang was his second father; whoever dared to insult Mr. Tang was opposing him.
Seeing Su Ao’s punch coming, Lei Tianlong laughed coldly and went to meet the fist, "I’m talking to your boss, what are you butting in for!"
Those around felt that person was disrespectful.
But the next second, they saw Su Ao and Lei Tianlong’s fists collide violently. In an instant, Lei Tianlong was sent flying, landing on the ground.
While Su Ao was unscathed, he straightened up and said coldly, "With such skill, you dare to dream of Mr. Tang making a move, trash!"
Everyone around was shocked, no one had expected such an outcome.
Lei Tianlong, a member of Long Wu, had now been beaten by a lackey.
"How is that possible?"
"If the lackey is that strong, what kind of person is the boss?"
Both Leino and Zhao Chuanxing’s eyes widened in shock; Leino was a member of Long Wu and had now been defeated.
At this moment, Tang Zhong smiled indifferently and slowly walked towards Lei Tianlong, "Lei Tianlong... you’ve been expelled from Long Wu!"
"What?" Lei Tianlong was stunned. Although he knew that Tang Zhong might be very strong, the idea of him having the authority to expel him seemed far-fetched.
"Who do you think you are, thinking you can expel me? Do you think you’re the Chief Instructor of Long Wu? What right do you have?" Lei Tianlong sneered.
"Unfortunately for you, my surname is Tang, and my name is Zhong. What do you think, do I have the right?" At that moment, Tang Zhong was smiling faintly.
