The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 522 Hand Over the Token

Inside the vast training ground of the Soldier King Base, one hundred and twenty members of the Soldier King Group were all neatly lined up. They had just been notified that Song Feng would assume command over them. Although many were deeply dissatisfied in their hearts, this was the arrangement of the nation. From the moment they joined the Soldier King Group, they had been imbued with the ideology that the nation comes first.

Song Feng stood in front of these one hundred and twenty members of the Soldier King Group, with his driver, Little Liu, standing proudly beside him, chest puffed out. Song Feng’s gaze swept over the crowd of the Soldier King Group, cleared his throat, and said, "From today onwards, I am your commander. You may be dissatisfied with me, but this is the nation’s arrangement. If you refuse to follow my orders, it amounts to treason. Now, who can tell me how half of the buildings within the Soldier King Base were destroyed?"

Wang Li and other members of the Soldier King Group had just returned from Country M, and they were convinced that Ye Chenfeng was their commander. As for others who had not participated in that mission, they had learned from Wang Li and others that Wu Guotian had handed over the command of the Soldier King Group to Ye Chenfeng. And now this Song Feng had appeared out of nowhere?

Seeing that no one stepped forward to answer the question, Song Feng’s expression gradually grew darker as he shouted, "Do you know what you’re doing? Do you deserve to be members of the Soldier King Group? Since the higher-ups have appointed me your commander, is this the attitude you show towards me? Do you really want to bear the stigma of treason?"

Such a harsh accusation had many members of the Soldier King Group change their expressions. Zhao Fei, who had once clashed with Ye Chenfeng and was among the strongest in the group, knew that they had no right to object to the nation’s appointment of Song Feng as their commander, unless they chose to leave the group. But not only was the Soldier King Group not an organization one could easily join, but the compensation for its members was also very high. Many members in attendance had families to support, naturally hoping for a better life for their wives and children.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would choose to leave the Soldier King Group. Being a member of the Soldier King Group was also a matter of honor for them.

Zhao Fei stepped forward two paces and said, "The buildings here were destroyed by Ye Chenfeng of the Ye family. However, we will make arrangements to have them rebuilt as soon as possible."

Ye Chenfeng?

Song Feng felt the name was very familiar. After thinking carefully, he recalled that his nephew, Song Bin, had been crippled by Ye Chenfeng. His face filled with an ice-cold demeanor, of course, he didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng had single-handedly destroyed the buildings. It must have involved large tools. In his view, Ye Chenfeng, who had been the laughingstock of Capital City for many years, however formidable he might be, couldn’t have caused so much destruction, could he? frёewebnoѵēl.com

"How can Ye Chenfeng just walk into the Soldier King Base? Isn’t the base off-limits to unauthorized persons? I remember there being such a rule in the Soldier King Group, that anyone who dares to break into the base is to be executed without exception. Can someone explain to me whether Ye Chenfeng was sent to meet King Yama?" Song Feng asked arrogantly.

Before this, Song Feng’s elder, Song Yigang, hadn’t informed him that Ye Chenfeng was originally supposed to be the commander of the Soldier King Group. Song Yigang had merely told Song Feng he would do his best to help him secure the position of commander of the Soldier King Group.

Wang Li and the others, who had returned from Country M with Ye Chenfeng, could no longer bear it. Even while in Country M, they had come to regard Ye Chenfeng as their commander. Wang Li stepped forward and said, "Ye Chenfeng is our true commander of the Soldier King Group, he holds the token symbolizing the commander’s status. Does he not have the right to enter the Soldier King Base? Do you have the commander’s token of the Soldier King Group?"

Song Feng focused his grim gaze on Wang Li and sneered, "You say Ye Chenfeng is the true commander of the Soldier King Group? Are you joking with me? Ye Chenfeng is a well-known fool in Capital City. If he could become the commander of the Soldier King Group, I, Song Feng, could become the Jade Emperor."

Wang Li looked at the overbearing Song Feng, his eyes revealing a scornful look as he said, "Only a fool would consider Ye Chenfeng a fool. With your attitude, you think you can take the position of commander of the Soldier King Group? I can tell you for certain, you’re not even worth one of Ye Chenfeng’s hairs. Stop spouting nonsense here."

Song Feng, who usually stayed inside the military district, was not very knowledgeable about the outside world. Apart from the incident where his nephew was crippled by Ye Chenfeng, he hadn’t heard much about Ye Chenfeng, nor did he have any interest in learning about the fool of Capital City.

"What’s the matter, you all want to rebel? I’m the commander appointed by the state, if you’re not satisfied, you can go reason with the state! Also, since when is it the subordinate’s place to contradict a superior? You circle the training ground for fifty laps, and if you can’t finish before lunch, there’ll be no meal for you," Song Feng barked at Wang Li.

Zhao Fei, the strongest member of the Soldier King Group, saw Wang Li looking indignant. Since the state had arranged it this way, what could they do but accept? Zhao Fei said, "Wang Li, from this moment on Song Feng is our commander. Are you saying you won’t even listen to the commander’s orders?"

"Zhao Fei, Commander Wu handed over the leadership of the Soldier King Group to Ye Chenfeng. Although many of you weren’t present, in my heart, Wang Li will only acknowledge Ye Chenfeng as the commander of the Soldier King Group," Wang Li stated resolutely.

"Right, we only acknowledge Ye Chenfeng. Song Feng doesn’t have the qualifications to be our commander."

...

All members of the Soldier King Group, fifty to sixty in number, who had carried out missions with Ye Chenfeng in Country M, were unanimously supportive of Ye Chenfeng taking the post of the group’s commander.

"Wang Li, Commander Wu is no longer our commander of the Soldier King Group. We belong to Huaxia Country, and now the state has appointed a commander for us. What we need to do is to obey the arrangement. Otherwise, you’re not suitable to stay in the Soldier King Group," Zhao Fei said seriously.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, a military jeep drove into the Soldier King Base. Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and Wu Jie got out of the jeep.

Song Feng obviously recognized Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, and he recognized Ye Chenfeng as well. After Ye Chenfeng had crippled his nephew, Song Bin, he had seen Ye Chenfeng’s photo. If it hadn’t been for his old man holding him back, he probably would’ve sought Ye Chenfeng out to cripple him a long time ago.

Hadn’t Song Feng just heard from Wang Li that the commander’s token was in Ye Chenfeng’s hands? Ye Chenfeng’s timing couldn’t be better. Song Feng, ignoring Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, and Wu Jie, shouted at Ye Chenfeng as he approached, "You must be Ye Chenfeng, the ’fool’ of Capital City the people talk about, right? I hear the commander’s token of the Soldier King Group is with you? I’m the commander of the Soldier King Group now, so you must hand over the commander’s token immediately."

In the face of the overbearing Song Feng, Ye Chenfeng and the other three just looked at each other, not taking Song Feng seriously at all. Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Wu Jie asked, "Brother-in-law, did you hear some stupid bird squawking? It’s really annoying."

Song Feng’s eyes grew even more sinister, but he didn’t speak; instead, it was his driver, Little Liu, who spoke up, pointing at Ye Chenfeng and the others and cursing, "What do you four think you are? My young master is now the commander of the Soldier King Group, crushing you is easier than crushing an ant. You dare to pull rank on my young master? Have you grown tired of living?"

"A dog can’t spit out ivory, but as a dog, you’re quite the qualified one, probably doomed to live as one your whole life," Ye Chenfeng said calmly. If he could be provoked by such a dog with just a few words, then he wouldn’t be Ye Chenfeng.

"You fool, I advise you to hand over the commander’s token willingly and apologize to my driver, Little Liu. Today, I can let you leave the Soldier King Base safely. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude," Song Feng threatened.
