Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

People were growing increasingly numerous.

As the most luxurious five-star hotel in the entirety of Northern Su, the Star Luxury Hotel towered into the sky, and the capacity of its underground parking lot was immense. It was no surprise that, in less than an hour, it filled up, and the continuous stream of cars, regally and boldly, parked along the roadside.

Boss Xia of Binhu Real Estate, Chairman Ling Mantang of Shengtian Group, Chief Inspector Feng Jin of Northern Su, Su Yu, Leader of the Su City Martial Alliance… The cheongsam-clad ladies tasked with welcoming guests at the entrance of the Star Luxury Hotel were almost worn out from fatigue.

Each of the arrivals was a figure they had to look up to.

Outside the banquet hall, the crowd was swelling, and quite a few people were leaving as well. When the bustle reached a certain level, not everyone could bear witness to it; those without the necessary credentials naturally had to leave the scene. After all, in a great storm, it was the small boats that struggled most.

The people from the Xu and Liang families had not yet arrived; they were meant to be the first on the scene but their absence was not due to cowardice but rather a brewing storm.

Inside the hall, not a single one of the group of young masters and mistresses was any sort of pushover!

The very least of them knew how to imitate and follow suit. The early arrivals had obviously been summoned by them. If tonight's drama wasn't about a mighty dragon crossing the river, it would be about that formidable dragon being unable to suppress the local snakes.

Look and see, there's no harm; maybe if two families topple, an opportunity will arise. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

Finally, when Liang Ye and Xu Tierui, the two patriarchs, arrived together, the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak. The menacing demeanor of the two patriarchs was akin to that of wild beasts about to open their enormous maws. And behind them, Grandmasters were everywhere, each a skilled hand at their craft.

"Ye Feng, release my son," Liang Ye, the Liang Family Patriarch and father of Liang Chengyu, spoke first. However, he did not step into the room.

"If you want to fetch your son, why don't you dare to come in and talk?"

On the table, tea was freshly served, and Ye Feng, unhurriedly blowing on the steam that rose from his cup, was the picture of composure.

The spacious 'Heaven' VIP room held only five living people. Ye Feng was sitting in the seat of honor by himself, while Sima Zhantian and Xia Lengchan were positioned on his left and right, tasked with guarding the door. The remaining two were kneeling.

"Hmph!"

"You think I'm afraid? If you do not release my son, you had better think carefully about how you're going to walk out that door."

After a wave of his hand, a solid row of Grandmasters promptly lined up in two rows, securing the entrance. Beside Liang Ye stood an old man, silent and with high cheekbones.

"Liang Family Patriarch?"

"In my book, you are definitely required to come in. You can spare yourself some suffering by coming in on your own, otherwise, when I come out to invite you... Well, the outcome might not look so good."

Ye Feng smiled faintly.

This was a real madman!

To outright ignore Liang Ye's words as if they were merely a breeze past his ear, even intimidating the other party. All those pretenders to madness paled in comparison to Ye Feng.

Of course, the crowd outside the hall didn't dare to voice their amusement, with everything being understood without words.

"A stray dog is nothing to fear."

Liang Ye smirked disdainfully. He glanced at his younger son, his brows furrowing slightly—as if he had been stricken mute by Ye Feng and couldn't speak.

Just as Liang Ye was about to step forward, Xu Tierui intercepted him, placing a hand to block his path and saying,

"My dear in-law, there's no need for haste. I'll handle this matter first."

"Ye Feng, there's nothing left to discuss between us. Release my son and you might still have a complete corpse left. Otherwise, today I'll make sure you're chopped into thousands of pieces."

Behind Xu Tierui stood not a few but many people, with the foremost two being officials in distinct uniforms—one clearly from the Supervisory Heaven Department and the other from the Heaven Governance Division.

The one from the Supervisory Heaven Department declared,

"Ye Feng, to knowingly break the law and still do wrong, release the hostage and surrender at once. Northern Su will not tolerate your audacity."

That final "Northern Su" was evidently the true intent of the message.

As a descendant of the significant figures of the top ten, it was not surprising that the famous could cast long shadows. This time, many figures from The Righteous Path had come to support the Xu family, and standing a bit behind Xu Tierui were not only Great Grandmasters but also many well-known figures from the Northern Su underworld.

In plain terms, it was about positioning the Xu family at the apex of public opinion and bringing Ye Feng down.

A group of people were posturing and, following the lead of the two figures at the front, began to chastise Ye Feng with words, stopping just short of slapping him with a charge of treason.

Ye Feng, listening to the crowd talk and preach while savoring his tea without a word, they say a sharp tongue and cutting words were the most lethal. If he let these people substantiate their words today, his reputation as the Northern Border King would begin to stink.

Famed and unmatched, the slayer of renowned generals?

Or was it prideful and lawless, a man who dares to kill anyone?

"Asleep?"

"If you're not dead, turn your head around, face your father, face everyone here, and tell us how you had the audacity to overturn my table."

Ye Feng splashed the tea onto Xu Wu's face, causing Xu Tierui to swell with veins throbbing in rage.

Unfortunately for Xu Feng, he didn't understand Xu Tierui's intent; seeing that everyone had arrived, he declared with a fierce look,

"Father, kill Ye Feng. I will personally make him pay and chop him into thousands of pieces."

Alright then!

Disobedient, Ye Feng flicked his finger to release a streak of Vigorous Qi. Before Xu Wu could crawl out of the room, a hole was punctured through his forehead, and the reds and whites flowed out together.

"Wu'er!"

"Ah! Ye Feng, I will have your life, attack, seize him, I want to flay him alive to appease my two sons' spirits."

At that moment, Xu Tierui seemed to age decades in an instant. After his regret, a deep madness took over.

"Patriarch Xu, let me assist you. This ingrate is so insolent, slaying a disciple of the Martial Alliance right before everyone's eyes. We will not let him off easily."

Finally, Su Yu, the Leader of the Su City Martial Alliance who had remained silent until now, stood out and joined Xu Tierui's side.

"My dear in-law, this has ceased to be merely a family affair of yours but also of my Liang family. My grandson-in-law died just like that; if we do not seek justice from him today, how will my Liang family ever hold our heads high in Northern Su?"

"Great Worship, your assistance is much appreciated!"

Actually, the Xu Family also had an old Martial King, a former subordinate of General Xu, but unfortunately, he was not present.

However, this was enough!

"Hmm!"

The old man standing behind Liang Ye stepped out, his eyes vigilant and constantly watching Ye Feng's every move. In fact, the Patriarch of the Liang Family wished these people would rush forward first so he could take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits like a fisherman.

However, with Liang Chengyu still inside today, he had to guard against Ye Feng and also be wary of someone taking the opportunity to strike in the chaos.

"Those who enter the Dao Sect must either kneel or lie down."

Ye Feng's voice was equally cold. He glanced at Su Yu a couple more times, surprised that the latter had not recognized him.

Could it be that the Leader of the Su City Martial Alliance had been replaced?

"Attack together!"

The Xu Family's people were the first to enter. As they stepped through the threshold, they wondered why the two by the door did not make their move.

Suddenly, a robust Vigorous Qi rushed at them. Before these people could take another step forward, they were involuntarily blown backward.

When they landed, they were all bleeding from their seven orifices.

A group of Great Grandmasters didn't even touch their opponent's feet, and they were effortlessly flipped from five or six meters away?

The scene suddenly fell quiet.

"Dad, Ye Feng is the Martial King."

Whoosh!

When Liang Chengyu uttered those words, the hall inside and out became even quieter. The former Northern Border King was actually a true king?

With outstanding military achievements and infinite combat power!

Most importantly, he was still young. Some people's gazes towards Ye Feng changed. If he were allowed to continue to grow, then he would undoubtedly be the next King Kao Shan of the Xuanyuan Nation, with the power to guard the nation.

To guard the nation, as the name suggests, means no need to govern any realm and is enough to deter all directions.

"Xu Tierui, now that things have come to this, do you still want to hide your skills?"

Liang Ye waved his hand to signal the Great Worship to stop. The situation hadn't reached the worst point yet, and he certainly did not want to have a heated fight with Ye Feng.

To deal with the Martial King, at least another Martial King is needed.

The Liang Family only had one Martial King, and if that one-in-a-million chance happened, their loss would mean the Liang Family's days as the Premier Clan were over.

Liang Ye dared not gamble, and even less wanted to gamble.

"Get lost!"

"You think I want to hide my skills? If that old guy would listen to me, he would have come already."

Xu Tierui's heart bled.

Such a group of Great Grandmasters, at least seven of them, were just finished like that. If you also count the two that Xu Wu brought earlier, part of Xu Tierui's Xu Family heritage.

All gone!

A son can be born again, but once heritage is lost, it's difficult to rise again from the east.

"As I thought!"

Hearing Xu Tierui's words, Ye Feng was slightly surprised. It was certain that the Xu Family had a Martial King; otherwise, they wouldn't be on par with the Liang Family.

But if he didn't come, that was interesting!

"It seems the Liang Family Patriarch isn't willing to come in on his own."

Ye Feng stood up after he finished speaking, his eyes shining like stars, his demeanor proud and chilly.

Hmm?

Just as Ye Feng took a step intending to retrieve someone, he suddenly stopped. More people were coming—quite a group at that.

As expected.

"Who dares to touch my Xuanyuan Nation's meritocrat, if anybody touches Northern King Ye Feng, they will be killed without mercy!"

A throng of people swarmed in, and even before they arrived, a domineering voice rolled in like thunder.

In just a moment, the people from Xuanyuan Nation's Three Great Offices swiftly entered the scene and surrounded the entire hall. Among them, three individuals led the way, with the Chief Director of the Supervisory Heaven Department, Ge Nie, at the forefront.

Behind Ge Nie were two others, likely the chiefs of the other two Offices in Northern Su, their status obviously not enough to be on equal footing.

"Kill without mercy!"

Everyone's scalp tingled, the Chief Director of the Supervisory Heaven Department spoke in person, and no one dared question the truth of those words.

In Xuanyuan Nation, the Four Realms Legion primarily handles border defense and repelling foreign enemies.

As for internal affairs, they are managed by the Three Great Offices, where the Supervisory Heaven Department is in charge of enforcement and public order, the Heaven Governance Division deals with governance and trade, and the Punishment Heaven Department handles legal punishment.

If one were to say who had the greatest authority and who was the most feared among the Three Offices, it would undoubtedly be the Supervisory Heaven Department.

"Northern King, I apologize for the inconvenience."

Ge Nie looked at Ye Feng, strolled into the room, and found himself quite pleased with the man.

A sovereign of a generation, the kind of decisiveness and matchless aura he desired.

The pride of a nation couldn't be attained by compromising with others.

"Three Offices, on my command, those who commit insubordination, seize them!"

Ye Feng's gaze passed by Ge Nie, and he immediately issued the order.

This!

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat. Ye Feng was daring enough to do anything, bold enough to command the people of the Three Offices right in front of the Chief Director of the Supervisory Heaven Department.
