Master Head of the Dragon Soul
Chapter 562 Returning to Their Formal Glory

Chu Feng stepped forward, his gaze sweeping across the old man of the Zhou family who was in the middle of the crowd. Once sitting on the high seat of the grand master, he was now hunched over, trembling.

The knees of these so-called "superior" individuals were not as firm as imagined.

"According to seniority, should I address you as Grandpa, right?" Chu Feng asked calmly, his tone devoid of joy or sorrow.

"No, I dare not!" Mr. Zhou knocked his head on the ground repeatedly, his body drenched in a cold sweat.

This man was a four-star general, one of the most powerful figures in the military, and an influential figure. Even Yang Jingyu, the commander of the Yenching region, stood respectfully beside him, not daring to utter a word.

As a member of a declining family, what right and appearance did he have to claim the title of elder?

Chu Feng nodded, dismissing the matter, and continued, "Are you satisfied with the gifts I presented to you?"

He gestured towards the golden mountain given by Li Hongtu and the one billion orders from Ma Sanyuan.

Everyone in the Zhou family suddenly snapped back to reality. These influential figures and priceless gifts were all sent by Chu Feng.

So that's how it was. Only someone of such status could possess such abilities.

The members of the Zhou family lowered their heads, their emotions in turmoil, unsure of how to respond.

Chu Feng did not waste any more time and spoke calmly, "I'll take it as you're satisfied if you're all silent."

"I have two reasons for coming here today."

"Firstly, I want to help my adoptive parents establish their platform. I've heard that they've endured numerous grievances in the Zhou family over the past ten years. They deserve an explanation."

Terrified of the soldiers with guns, everyone in the Zhou family begged for mercy, dreading the possibility of being showered with bullets at Chu Feng's command.

The harshness and humiliation they inflicted upon Zhou Lie's family in the past weighed heavily on their conscience.

Ignoring their pleas, Chu Feng continued speaking, his voice resolute, "Secondly, these significant gifts serve to repay favors and to sever ties. From this day forward, there shall be no connection between my stepfather's family and the Zhou family of Yenching."

"If anyone dares to bully them again, I will kill them." As Chu Feng's gaze swept across the crowd, a chill ran down everyone's spine, their scalps tingling.

Without lingering for even a second, Chu Feng immediately helped Zhou Lie and Liu Minglan, walk out of the door. Following closely were Li Hongtu, Ma Sanyuan, and other influential figures, along with the hundred or so soldiers led by Yang Jingyu.

The crowd in front of them dispersed like a retreating tide. Those who moved away cast fearful, shocked, complex, and regretful glances at Chu Feng.

Yet, there was no longer any contempt or resentment.

When a person reached a certain level of strength, others could only look up to them.

Long after Chu Feng's figure vanished, within the Zhou family compound, everyone knelt in heavy silence, still immersed in the recent shock.

They were shocked, they felt remorse, and they felt a pang of pain...

Who could have imagined that the once impoverished boy would return in such glory, occupying a high position, and overlooking everyone?

If they had shown more tolerance towards Zhou Lie's family in the past, if they had accepted Chu Feng as an adopted son, even if only as an acquaintance, rather than subjecting him to the humiliation of being called a "wild species"...

The Zhou family would have a four-star general and a God of War in their family!

Ascending to great heights, becoming a prominent family once again, and reviving the former glory of the Zhou family was within reach...
