Chapter 967 Wrath of the God of War!
An old man, about sixty or seventy years old, with disheveled hair, clad in ragged black robes, and a gourd hanging from his left waist.
Only his slightly sunken eyes remained as sharp as swords.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought he was a beggar.
But no one thought so; instead, their expressions grew even more respectful.
This man was Wang Qiankun, who, with a single sword, had slain thousands of foreign enemies, earning everyone's awe!
"Welcome, Lord God of War, to Jiangnan Province!"
Provincial Governor Wang Zhonghua spoke first.
Following him, everyone shouted in unison, "Welcome, Lord God of War!"
Wang Qiankun nodded, looking at the people and things around him with a wistful expression. Amidst the thunderous cheers, he slowly descended, "Thank you all."
Wang Zhonghua quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Lord God of War, your presence in Jiangnan Province truly brings great honor to our province."
His eyes held not only respect but also admiration.
They knew that the people could live in an era of peace precisely because many like Wang Qiankun fought bravely on the front lines to protect their country.
"Please, get in the car!"
Arriving beside a Rolls-Royce, Wang Zhonghua personally opened the car door for Wang Qiankun. Only after Wang Qiankun was seated did he dare to get in himself.
The others followed suit.
The car began to move slowly.
Wang Qiankun looked out the window at the passing scenery.
He had been away from Jiangnan Province for several years. High-rise buildings had sprung up everywhere; things had changed, and people were no longer the same.
Inside the car, Wang Zhonghua said with a smile, "Lord God of War, you must be tired from your journey. I have prepared a meal at the hotel to welcome you."
Upon hearing Wang Zhonghua's words, Wang Qiankun shook his head. "No need. In a while, I need to see someone."
"May I ask who that person is?" Wang Zhonghua inquired with a smile.
Wang Qiankun's gaze sharpened, and he slowly replied, "My benefactor!"
Wang Zhonghua was taken aback.
Following that, the news that Wang Qiankun wanted to see his benefactor spread like wildfire.
"Hahaha, he must want to see the father of Yin Tianlu, the head of the Martial Alliance! His father once took a bullet for the God of War!" someone exclaimed excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Yin Tianlu, the head of the Martial Alliance, beamed with joy.
He never expected such a fortunate turn of events.
If he could establish a connection with Wang Qiankun, his future would be limitless, and it was highly possible he could be assigned to the Martial Alliance headquarters in the capital.
Those traveling with him were filled with envy.
Why didn't they have a good father!
Inside the car, Wang Zhonghua said, "Lord God of War, I will take you there now."
"Oh?! You know? That's wonderful!" Wang Qiankun exclaimed, his excitement palpable.
He could not wait to meet his benefactor.
Finally, the motorcade arrived at a villa complex. Due to prior notification, security measures were already in place, and the surrounding area was completely cordoned off.
The car slowly stopped in front of a villa, and the head of the Martial Alliance personally opened the car door.
"Lord God of War, if you wanted to see my father, you should have said so earlier! I could have had him come to meet you. Why come all this way yourself..."
The head of the Martial Alliance, Yin Tianlu, smiled brilliantly, bowing subserviently.
The others, although disdainful of Yin Tianlu's demeanor, were filled with envy in their hearts.
Indeed, one needed a good father.
Wang Qiankun frowned, scrutinizing the head of the Martial Alliance, Yin Tianlu. "Your father?"
"Yes! It's my father! My father is your benefactor," Yin Tianlu replied.
Perhaps he was a foster son.
Given that person's strength, it was likely that many people would want to curry favor with him, making him a foster father quite possible.
Wang Qiankun found it a little strange but didn't overthink it.
"Then let's go inside!" Wang Qiankun took a breath.
"Alright!"
Yin Tianlu personally led the way into the villa. As soon as he entered, he shouted, "Dad, look who's here!"
Before he even finished speaking, the father of the head of the Martial Alliance, who had been informed in advance, dropped his cane and rushed out as if rejuvenated.
Upon seeing this person, Wang Qiankun frowned.
This was clearly not the person he had come to see.
The father of the head of the Martial Alliance looked at Wang Qiankun with excitement and solemn respect, raising his hand in a salute and exclaiming, "Soldier Yin Tao, greetings, Lord God of War!"
"Good brother, it's been a long time!"
Wang Qiankun recognized the man and stepped forward, embracing Yin Tao.
Although he hadn't met his benefactor, seeing an old comrade made him happy.
Everyone present looked on with envy.
The father of the head of the Martial Alliance was on such familiar terms with the God of War, calling him brother!
After a brief exchange, Wang Qiankun left the villa. As he stepped outside, he sighed.
"Lord God of War, why do you seem unhappy?" Wang Zhonghua asked with a frown.
"The person I wanted to see is not him," Wang Qiankun replied, shaking his head.
"He's Yin Tao? Then who is it?"
Everyone was stunned. Yin Tianlu was also dumbfounded. He had been ready to soar to great heights by latching onto the God of War, but reality had dealt him a harsh blow.
If it wasn't his father, who else could be Wang Qiankun's benefactor?
"Could it be an old friend from the Yanhuang Iron Brigade?" Wang Zhonghua asked tentatively.
"Who is that?"
"His name is Chen Xuan!"
Chen Xuan...
A seemingly ordinary name, yet it exploded in everyone's minds like a thunderclap!
Chen Xuan?
The live-in son-in-law of the Su family, the savior of the God of War?
How was this possible?
"You mean the live-in son-in-law of the Su family in the provincial capital?"
"Precisely!"
Everyone's expression changed, especially Yin Tianlu, the head of the Martial Alliance, whose face turned green.
He had been anticipating a meteoric rise, but now he felt like he was plummeting into hell.
Su Boqi couldn't help but say, "Lord God of War, you must be mistaken. How could that fellow Chen Xuan be your benefactor? He's just a live-in son-in-law of the Su family in the provincial capital, living off his wife."
Wang Qiankun had already inquired about Chen Xuan's identity before arriving. Upon hearing this, he knew that Su Boqi was correct.
Su Boqi continued, "Lord God of War, that fellow committed heinous crimes and has been imprisoned. How can such a person be worthy of the title of your benefactor?"
Heinous crimes?
Imprisoned?
A chill flashed in Wang Qiankun's eyes as he stared coldly at Su Boqi. "On what grounds did you imprison him?"
Su Boqi was startled by the glare. Without considering anything else, he hastily explained, "Recently, 148 lives have been lost in our Jiangnan Province. After our investigation, it turns out someone was developing mutated humans, and the missing people were used for mutation experiments."
"Someone reported that Chen Xuan was the mastermind behind the laboratory. When we arrived at the laboratory, we happened to witness Chen Xuan colluding with Xie Wei, the head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade in Jiangnan Province, to silence witnesses..."
Before he could finish speaking, a resounding slap echoed. Wang Qiankun had already sent Su Boqi flying with a single blow.
This slap was fueled by his rage. Several of Su Boqi's teeth were knocked out, his face swelled to twice its normal size, and he flew several meters, even creating a crater in the concrete ground.
"Lord God of War, what did I do wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Su Boqi struggled to get up from the ground, utterly bewildered. Gritting his teeth, he said resentfully.
"You all think so too?"
Ignoring everyone's gazes, Wang Qiankun swept his eyes over everyone present.
His cold gaze sent shivers down everyone's spines.
