Chapter 203
With a roar, the crowd erupted in chaos. Tang’e and the women from the Sun Family went wide-eyed,their limbs becoming cold and their voices becoming hoarse as if someone had seized them by thethroat.
Another commotion ensued as Sun Jianye and the other guests of the Sun Family scrambled to theirfeet, overwhelmed to the point of being speechless. The atmosphere was now dead silent. Officers andgeneral officers were two ranks that sounded similar, but they couldn’t be more different. Even a MajorGeneral was considered to be on the same level as a Second Ranked position just like Tang Taishan,the Lieutenant Governor of Jiangbei.
Tang Taishan’s teacup shattered with a crash as he gaped at the intimidating, fully-dressed Chu Fengbefore him, his heart pounding so hard he gasped for air. “G-General? How?” His wrinkled fingerstrembled when he counted the stars on Chu Feng’s shoulder. “One, two, three, four! A four-starGeneral! Bloody hell!” Despite being known for his composure and eloquence, Tang Taishan swore outloud before slumping into his chair with a pale face and a pounding heart. In fact, he’d nearly slumpedonto the floor entirely.
Everyone in the Sun family took a few steps backwards, already feeling weak in the knees. SunMingxuan himself was already on the ground, shaking badly. With a roar, tha crowd aruptad in chaos.

A four-star General! It was almost impossible to process the concept of Chu Feng being just one stepaway from becoming the Lord Chu who commanded the nation’s army. He could rule above all, andeven select a handful in the nation as the Provincial Governor or other top level positions, and hisinfluence was powerful enough to easily rank among the top five of Donghua!
More importantly, Chu Feng was only in his twenties. A four-star General, in his twenties! One couldonly imagine the glory that came with this achievement, and the prestige that it brought him. Chu Fengseemed to be aware of this when he scanned the crowd, then proudly strode toward Zhou Lie’s familyin the corner.
“Mum, Dad, I’m here.” The moment these words left Chu Feng’s lips, the crowd parted like the Red Seadespite being full of the rich and influential, clearing a path for this man in full military uniform. Even ashe walked, Chu Feng seemed like the sun itself was shining behind him, giving him an inexplicableaura of intimidation and greatness.
Liu Minglan was already overwhelmed to the point of tears, shouting, “Are you seeing this, old man?My son! That’s my son!”
Zhou Lie did not reply, but he barked out three laughs with tears in his tiger-like eyes, tears ofvindication and pride. Who said their family couldn’t produce a mighty dragon? Who dared accusethem of being unfit for the spotlight? This was their own son, a one-of-a-kind general, their pride andjoy!
Chu Feng strode to the surprised and emotional Zhou Ying, then fondly stroked her hair with a smile.“I’m back, silly. How did you like my entrance just now?”
Zhou Ying stood up abruptly. She was already in tears as well, but she started sobbing as she leanedstraight into Chu Feng’s arms. “Brother!” This was the brother who’d loved and protected her since theywere children, the brother who’d become the one and only General. Her tears of joy continued to flow,wetting Chu Feng’s chest as she sobbed.
Chu Feng wiped the tears from her face and said gently, “What are you crying for on your big day?Your brother’s here now, and he’s here to make things right.” He scanned the Sun family, all of whomsuddenly felt their hearts skip a beat and their limbs turn cold. “Hmm.” he said.
