Experts recognize true skill the moment they cross hands!
After just a few exchanges, the man already knew he was no match for Chu Liyuan and also discerned something from Chu Liyuanâs movements.
âAre you a soldier?â
âYes!â
âSo, we are comrades-in-arms!â
The kind of bond between comrades-in-arms is something outsiders cannot understand.
Even if they had never met, even if they were strangers, the shared experience of being a soldier was enough to create a resonance between them.
âIâm from the 74th Army Regiment!â
âSpecial Warfare Military District!â
âYouâre from the Special Warfare Military District?â The Special Warfare Military District was not somewhere just anyone could enter; it was comprised of elites selected from among the elite. âThatâs the military district Iâve dreamt of joining, but Iâve never met the requirements! The God of War was always my goal to aspire to!
Since youâre from the Special Warfare Military District, you must have seen him, right?â the man asked expectantly.
âUncle, the God of War heâs talking about wouldnât happen to be you, would it?â Jian Dan whispered from behind.
Although she spoke softly, the man still heard her.
The man looked at the man before him in shock. âYouâre Chu Li?â
âThatâs me!â
The man saluted Chu Liyuan with a standard military salute in some excitement. âGreetings, commander!â
Chu Liyuan responded with a standard military salute.
Once a soldier, always a soldier!
âOld Wu, what are you doing?â Li Botang asked disapprovingly as he witnessed the scene before him.
âIâm sorry, but Iâm no match for him,â the man replied slowly to Li Botang.
âYou think itâs all over with just a simple admission of defeat? Donât forget the life-saving debt you owe our Li Family!â
Li Botang retorted bluntly.
âI will certainly not forget. If it werenât for that incident back then, do you think I would have toiled for your Li Family for so many years?â As a soldier, that was his creed.
âSince you remember, what do you mean now?â
âI made it clear, I cannot defeat him!â
âA life-saving debt should indeed be repaid, but the dignity of a soldier must not be lost. Youâve done enough for them, itâs time to be even!â Chu Liyuan spoke calmly.
âAnd who do you think you are? You think the debt is cleared just because you say so?â
âFor someone who doesnât understand gratitude, who takes everything for granted, are you sure you want to continue down this path?â Chu Liyuan ignored Li Botang and continued speaking to the veteran.
After a long contemplation, the old soldier slowly raised his head. âCommander, youâre right! I should no longer be an accomplice to tyranny.â
âWhat are you planning to do?â Li Botang pointed shakily at the old soldier approaching him.
âDonât worry, I wonât do anything to you, but I also wonât help you with anything anymore. As for the rest, you can sort it out yourself!â With that, the old soldier prepared to leave.
âWait a minuteâhereâs my business card. Come to my company tomorrow!â Chu Liyuan handed a gold-embossed business card to the old soldier.
After another military salute to Chu Liyuan, the old soldier departedâ¦
âYou ungrateful wretch, utterly devoid of human decency!â Li Botang cursed at the old soldierâs retreating figure, spouting insults like a shrew.
But no matter how vile the insults, the old soldier didnât stop; he decisively didnât look back even once.
Only after the old soldierâs figure vanished into the cinema did Li Botang turn his gaze back to Chu Liyuan. âIâm telling you, it doesnât matter if heâs gone. This entire cinema belongs to the Li Family, and here I am the law!â Li Botang declared arrogantly.
âIs that so?â
âOf course, people like you are only fit to look up to me!â Li Botang looked down at Chu Liyuan through his nostrils.
At that moment, Jian Dan finally understood why that man was so arrogantâit was inherited!
âHah, I could tear this place down right now if I wanted to!â Chu Liyuan spoke coldly.
