"Aren't you a little too arrogant, kid?" Zhang Hongfa's face turned livid. He staggered back two steps and pulled out a black revolver.

If he lets this guy get away today, where would that leave his status as a boss? How could he show his face in front of his underlings?

"You actually have a real gun. That's bold," Zhao Feng said, his eyes flashing coldly. "Do you have any idea what the consequences are for illegally possessing a firearm like this?"

He normally wouldn't stoop to dealing with people like this, but the guy was pushing his luck. He'd been given an inch and was now trying to take a mile. Shameless.

"Consequences?" Zhang Hongfa laughed. "Hahaha, why don't you go ask around who the hell I am? Here, I am the law!"

When he was younger, he had been a ruthless character, forcing the old boss to abdicate at gunpoint to become the new leader. Although his status had since been "whitewashed," his ruthless temperament remained, undiminished by the passage of time.

"If you want to die, go ahead and try," Zhao Feng sneered, immediately starting the car.

Just then, Zhang Hongfa fired his weapon—not at the two people inside, but at the car's tire!

I shot out your tire. Let's see you try to leave now.

"You have a death wish!" Zhao Feng's expression turned dangerously grim.

This damned bastard is really tired of living! He dared to shoot my car?

"Hahaha! Kid, you realize you can't run now, right? Get your ass out here and kneel to my cousin! Apologize, and we might spare you!" the bald man yelled arrogantly.

His expression grim, Zhao Feng opened the car door and stepped out.

At that very moment, the sky filled with the thrumming of rotor blades as an attack helicopter flew overhead.

Zhao Feng glanced up, then spoke to Chen Zheng in the car. "Military God, our ride is here!"

"Hahaha... still posturing at a time like this?" the bald man scoffed. "Did he just say that helicopter is theirs?"

"Cousin, am I hearing things? These guys must be out of options, so they're trying to bluff their way out!"

"Trying to act tough like this? That's hilarious!"

"Who do they think they are? Have they no shame? Even if they're with the military, they're probably just the cooks!"

The men behind Zhang Hongfa erupted in boisterous laughter.

"If you're so incredible, why don't you call that helicopter down for us to see!"

"Anyway, my cousin already shot out your tire, so you're not going anywhere. Why not just call that helicopter down and leave in it, huh?" the bald man sneered.

Zhao Feng ignored them; his phone was already ringing. After hanging up, he approached Chen Zheng with a serious expression. "Military God, the Earth Demon has vanished!"

"The brothers mobilized an aircraft to continue the search!"

"How could he have vanished?" Chen Zheng seemed surprised. Although the creature was difficult to handle, he was confident his Iron Sentinels could have easily contained it.

How could it have just escaped?

Just then, two more helicopters flew past, but these weren't from the border forces. Judging by the model, they were from the Central Plains Division.

"Call Long Tianyun and tell him to bring Sun Helicopter 4 down. We're taking the chopper," Chen Zheng ordered directly. After all, when it came to the Earth Demon, not a minute could be wasted. The bald man's mocking suggestion had, ironically, turned out to be a good idea.

So, Zhao Feng immediately made the call.

The bald man and his group were doubled over with laughter, and Zhang Hongfa couldn't help but shake his head with a mocking smirk.

Make one phone call and a helicopter comes down to pick you up? Who does he think he is? Has he lost his mind and forgotten to take his meds?

"Kid, stop with the crazy act. If you don't kneel and apologize right now, I swear I'll make you..." Zhang Hongfa began viciously.

But before he could finish his sentence, the helicopter that had already passed by turned around and began hovering directly above them. Then, to their utter astonishment, it landed right in front of them.

The powerful downdraft from the rotor blades kicked up a storm of dust. Seeing this unfold, Zhang Hongfa and his men were completely dumbfounded.

The bald man's jaw dropped, and he was speechless for a long moment.

Holy hell. They really called it down with a single phone call?

The helicopter doors opened, and a large group of soldiers carrying automatic rifles scrambled out and rushed over.

"Sir!"

"Central Plains Flying Squad, Wang Gang reporting!" The squad leader, Wang Gang, stood before Chen Zheng and gave a sharp salute.

Chen Zheng returned the salute, then stepped out of the car and looked toward Zhang Hongfa.

At that moment, Zhang Hongfa didn't hesitate. He dropped to his knees and raised his hands in surrender.

He's a squadron leader, and he's saluting that guy?

The bald man was so terrified he also dropped to his knees.

He brought a helicopter down with a single phone call. What kind of rank does that take?

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and gestured toward Zhang Hongfa's hands.

Getting the hint, Zhang Hongfa immediately tossed his gun onto the ground. Zhao Feng picked it up and handed it to Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng examined it. "Seems decent enough..."

"This weapon was passed down from my great-grandfather! If you like it, please, take it!" Zhang Hongfa stammered, his body trembling.

"So, your great-grandfather was a soldier?" Chen Zheng asked, looking slightly surprised. He hadn't expected a thug like this to have such a background.

"Yes... my great-grandfather served. He was a veteran!" Zhang Hongfa said, as if he'd found a lifeline. He quickly began to recount his great-grandfather's story.

"Save it," Chen Zheng roared, looking so angry he could have slapped him. "What does your great-grandfather's bravery have to do with you? You have the gall to mention him? A man who fought for his country, who brought it honor... and then there's you. Look at what you've become!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hongfa didn't dare make a sound. He remained prostrate on the ground, so scared he nearly wet himself.

Seeing the man's pathetic state, Chen Zheng couldn't be bothered with him anymore. He tossed the gun aside. "Get up and fix my tire!"

"You will wait on this road for three days. As for what happens to you after that, we'll decide once your penance is done," Chen Zheng commanded.
