Wang Runfa arrived at the demolition site without stopping. His first reaction upon seeing the scene was shock. Guangtouqiang and dozens of others were kneeling on the ground. A surge of anger filled his heart. Who dared to touch his people on his territory?
However, before he could unleash his fury, he saw his son being held by the neck and suspended in mid-air by Li Xiaotian. Wang Runfa immediately panicked, his face turning red.
"Presumptuous! Do you want to see your entire clan annihilated?! Let go of my son!"
Wang Runfa roared. His precious son being treated like this instantly made him lose all reason.
Seeing that the surrounding guards were just standing by, Wang Runfa's anger intensified. He began to berate the head of the security team.
"Liu San, are you a useless idiot? My son is being bullied, and you're just watching? Hurry up and execute these ungrateful brutes!"
Liu San felt helpless. He had no idea what to do. Li Xiaotian's sudden elimination of Glasses Man made him realize the terrifying background of the opponent.
Especially after hearing what Li Xiaotian had said to the person beside him, he was filled with dread. General Li Shanhai, the First Commander of the War Department. This young man dared to call him by name, and with an accusatory tone. He couldn't fathom what kind of background this person had to speak so boldly. Was he bluffing, or did he truly possess such power?
Facing the reprimand from his superior, Liu San was in a difficult position. If he had known he would face such a situation today, he wouldn't have come.
"My Lord County Magistrate, the opponent is a Major General from the War Department!" Liu San quickly ran to Wang Runfa, pointed to the already dead Glasses Man, and continued.
"The opponent, knowing your identity, killed your secretary because she threatened him. My Lord County Magistrate, this person has an extraordinary background!"
"What?!" Wang Runfa was shocked. Someone from the War Department, within the Great Qin Empire, disregarding rules and killing people. This made him instantly wary of Li Xiaotian's identity.
"Dad! Save me quickly! He said he would kill me no matter who came today! Dad, save me!" Young Master Wang shouted, weeping profusely.
Hearing his son's cries, Wang Runfa's mind raced with a mixture of shock and anger. He stared intently at Li Xiaotian and gritted his teeth.
"Release my son. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're from the War Department. The War Department is only responsible for combat; you have no authority over local matters. Young man, you've overstepped your bounds!"
"Haven't you asked what your son did wrong? Have you ever considered that your son might cause you to lose your position as County Magistrate of Yang County today?" Li Xiaotian said calmly, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Hmph! I will handle my own son! But you, as a Major General of the War Department, have wantonly taken lives. Have you considered the consequences? Believe it or not, I will report your crimes to the Governor's Office!" Wang Runfa said sternly. So what if the opponent had an unusual background? The opponent broke the rules first, so he was in the right today. He could completely request assistance from the Southwest Governor's Office!
"Heh heh, the Southwest Governor? Very well, let's wait for him. A mere County Magistrate dares to speak to me like this. When the Southwest Governor arrives, I'll have to ask him what he means by this!" Li Xiaotian said coldly.
Hearing this, Wang Runze felt a hint of disdain flash through his mind. The Southwest Governor was coming? What a joke. If the Southwest Governor were coming, why hadn't he, as County Magistrate, received any news? He was about to mock Li Xiaotian when a deafening roar echoed from above.
A helicopter rapidly approached from the horizon and then slowly landed on the open ground nearby.
At this moment, a middle-aged man emerged from the helicopter and walked quickly towards them.
Upon seeing the man's appearance, Wang Runfa was filled with immense shock. The man was none other than the Southwest Governor!
Damn it!! What was that person's identity? How did he know the Southwest Governor was coming? Wang Runfa thought, simultaneously stepping forward to greet the Southwest Governor.
"Get lost!!" To his surprise, the Southwest Governor glanced at Wang Runfa, then quickly walked up to Li Xiaotian and said, bowing slightly.
"This humble one, the Southwest Governor, greets Mr. Li."
"Boom!!" Instantly, Wang Runfa felt his head spin, and he froze on the spot.
As for Young Master Wang, who was held by Li Xiaotian, his eyes widened in terror. The others present were all filled with shock, gazing at the scene before them in disbelief.
After all, the Southwest Governor was the paramount authority in their southwestern region, holding a noble status. Even within the Great Qin Empire, the Southwest Governor was considered one of the high-ranking and influential figures.
But who would have thought that the Southwest Governor, whom they viewed as unattainable, would bow to Li Xiaotian and even address him as "Sir"!
"Bang!" Wang Runfa was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground. His mind was a mess; he had no idea what to do, only knowing that he was finished and had caused a great disaster!
"Governor! Lord Li! This humble one admits his mistakes and confesses his guilt!" Wang Runfa said, his body trembling. As for the head of the security team, Liu San, beside him, he was even more shocked and relieved. Fortunately, he had restrained himself and not taken action against Li Xiaotian and his group, otherwise, he would have been doomed as well.
The Southwest Governor cast a cold glance at Wang Runfa and ignored him. Instead, he continued to bow, his heart filled with tension.
This person before him was the Dragon King. After the battle with the Assassin Alliance, the Dragon King's prestige had only grown. Now, someone under his jurisdiction had provoked the Dragon King. This was pushing him to a dead end!
Damn Wang Runfa, a mere County Magistrate. If you wanted to die, you didn't need to make such a scene! You could have just committed suicide, what possessed you to provoke the Dragon King?
At this moment, the Southwest Governor deeply resented Wang Runfa, wishing he could stomp him to death.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiaotian looked at the Southwest Governor and said calmly.
"I am very disappointed today. I came to send my brother home, only to find that my brother's family was being bullied like this. If I had returned any later, I fear my brother's family would have lost their home."
"Southwest Governor, I need an explanation!"
The Southwest Governor's scalp tingled. The Dragon King was asking him for an explanation? As a mere governor, how could he dare to obstruct the Dragon King?
"Mr. Li, it is my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly. Please rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory answer today," the Southwest Governor said, then turned and kicked Wang Runfa.
"You damned wretch, who gave you the audacity to act so recklessly in Yang County? A mere County Magistrate, do you really think Yang County is your own home? Bullying civilians and angering Mr. Li, you deserve to die!!"
"Governor, this humble one knows his mistakes, knows his mistakes! I beg you to give this humble one a chance to reform!" Wang Runfa continued to kneel, tearfully pleading with the Southwest Governor.
