Chapter 12 Build Up Authority

The figure's movements were so fast that everyone could hardly recognize who it was.

All the guests paled with shock in various expressions.

Feng Qin's face went from twisted crimson into madness. It was like a gambler who was doomed but now found his last betting dollar.

The original desperation was saved by the sudden accident. Heng Lei was startled with mixed emotions.

All the other guests were drawn to the sound of gunfire, staring at Edward Chen, as if Edward would be shot in the next second.

Wow.

Glass fragments fell to the ground in the smoke and dust.

After shooting, the figure landed on the ground lightly, squatting down, with a gun in hands, and aimed straight at Edward.

The figure was lean and vigorous with elastic skin and beard in black goggles, looking calm.

Even an ordinary person could tell that the figure who shot was an expert of extreme sports or a warrior who had undergone the most rigorous training.

"Panther! Hurry! Go on! Don’t leave him alive!" Feng shouted and asked for the man.

The mercenary, named Panther, remained motionless.

After about two seconds of stagnation, he stood up and took off his sunglasses.

The eyes behind the sunglasses were incomparably stern with the vicissitudes of battles.

Panther completely ignored Feng, carrying a gun in his hand, and walked to Edward seriously.

Edward’s figure blurred through the smoke and dust, and they didn’t know whether he was dead or not.

Panther made an unexpected motion.

He knelt down!

He raised his gun and kowtowed to Edward!

Feng was stunned.

Heng was stunned too.

All the guests were frozen.

Even Wu Qi was a little surprised.

Panther spoke in a deep voice.

"West Lord Guard... My fault for offending you. Please give me punishment."

Everyone in the banquet hall was confused.

"Wasn't he hired by Feng to kill Edward?"

"He actually knelt to Edward directly!"

"Did he just ask Edward to punish himself? Ah! Is he a masochist?"

"West lord guard?"

"Edward, didn't you just get shot?"

Their vision became clear from the smoke gradually.

Edward stood upright and firmly with fluttering cloth. He was unharmed completely!

Edward reached out and opened his hand gently.

Ding-ding-ding.

A few crunching sounds came out.

Three deformed warheads fell to the ground.

Feng Qin was annoyed, and he yelled under his breath:

"Impossible!"

Many of them rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

Panther just came in through the window and fired in mid-air, with the muzzle only about half an arm's length away from Edward.

The distance was really close.

And it was a triple shot!

How fast was the bullet? Its kinetic energy was so powerful!

How could Edward catch three bullets with his hands?

This was beyond the explanation of martial arts. It was simply beyond their knowledge.

In everyone's stunned gaze, Edward spoke lightly:

"You know me?"

"True martial artists, mercenaries, necromancers, assassins, and gladiators in the world do know you exactly..."

"Are you the leader of them?"

Panther shook his head.

"I am the first expert in the mercenary group, and our leader is called Mad Wolf, who didn't join this time."

Many of the guests in the banquet hall were shocked by the name of Mad Wolf.

"Mad Wolf, that mercenary group with an absolute mission completion rate?"

"I've heard that it will cost more than ten million to hire them in Zhongzhou Province!"

"Qin family could afford to hire them!"

"Maybe it needs the alliance of Qin family and Lei family."

"It's too scary. If they were ordinary giants, they would have already been wiped out by this mercenary group."

"Panther, who is the first expert under Mad Wolf, actually knelt down to Edward..."

"Is this Edward more senior..."

While the crowd was discussing, Panther hammered himself in the chest and held his head up in shame.

"The west lord guard garrison the western border of the country with one team, threatening the enemy to be dreaded, who is admired highly by martial artists. I actually offend you today. It's really..."

Panther, with a shameful expression, suddenly pulled out a dagger and swung it towards his left arm before he finished speaking!

Wzzt!

With a thud.

Panther cut off his arm in front of everyone!

With sweats dripping from his face constantly, he made no sound of pain but looked like he had committed a treasonous act and asked for forgiveness.

Edward slightly sighed.

"It's not easy martial arts training. I absolve you. Go to the Western Gobi to join the guard next year for three years. It's not bad for you."

The tears welled up in Panther's eyes. He heavily kowtowed to Edward.

"Thank you for your forgiveness!"

"Tell Mad Wolf to report back to me later, and don't disturb the crowd."

"Yes!"

Edward waved his hand to motion Panther off.

Edward turned to look at Heng and Feng who were stammering beside him.

The two culprits shuddered as if they had been electrocuted.

All guests had also finally realized a problem.

The Qin and Lei families had really offended the wrong person.

The real big shot had just appeared in Ancheng City!

The charity banquet tonight. The four major families of Ancheng City. The families of Lin, Wei, Zhou, and He.

Mei'er Zhou, the daughter of Zhou family, and Xuan He, the young master of He family, had left before the banquet even started due to some reasons.

The Lin and Wei families were of superior status and generally didn't care to associate with the ordinary giants, so they didn't attend.

They had missed an important event which could change the whole Ancheng City!

A big shot witnessed by all the other giants of Ancheng City except the four major families.

Edward built up his authority!

And Wendy, standing beside him, was thunderstruck by the scene.

Her sister's first love was so powerful!

Could such a person be the one who killed her sister?

Conflicts and doubts intertwined in her heart. Wendy was unable to understand the tall man in front of her, only able to be certain of one thing.

He was powerful!

Dreadful!

And his identity was a puzzle.

Edward ignored the shock of the crowd and slowly walked up to Heng Lei and Feng Qin.

"Your biggest mistake is threatening me with my family. Even though it's just your delusion, but it also makes me angry."

Then, Edward kicked over two scattered daggers casually from the ground.

"You keep the wealth taken by good means. As for your family, move to another land. Changing a name will keep them safe. The only ones I don't want to see again are you two."

Heng and Feng were shaking, fully understanding what Edward meant.

They should pay the price for their mistakes, but their family was innocent.

Looking at the mercenaries and thugs on the ground, the tables and chairs were in a mess.

They looked at each other and stood up together, bowing to Edward, and intended to leave.

Edward turned around and took Wu and Wendy to leave without any words.

They left nothing but only a legend in Ancheng City.

...

When they were out of the hotel, Edward received a call from Menghan.

"Brother, there was a group of people wandering around on the road near our house at night, as if they were preparing to do something. But suddenly a lot of people with weapons and uniforms came and caught hem. I'm a bit scared."

"Don't worry. Those people will guard near our house, just in case."

"Huh? You mean that they protect our family?"

"Don't be nervous. I'm in Ancheng now. They will protect you prudently. Wait for me to come home."

"OK. Back early."

After hanging up the phone, Edward smiled at Wendy.

"Perhaps, I should also call you sister, after all, you are my first love’s family."

...

The next day, the Four Families of Ancheng City all heard of a shocking piece of news.

The masters of Lei family and Qin family had committed suicide.

Reasons? Unknown.
