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

The crowd in the hall did not have to wait long before the deacon from the Headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the imperial city made his appearance.

Fluttering unsteadily, supported by two beautiful young women, the deacon was draped in a brocade robe, exuding an intoxicating aura of lazy indolence.

He appeared to be around fifty years old, with beady eyes set into a small face, and whiskers that made his visage seem quite comical.

Just as he was crossing the threshold, the deacon stumbled on the doorstep, nearly tumbling to the ground.

Yet no one dared to laugh. The members of the Divine Doctor Sect all rose to greet him, for after all, he was a deacon from the Headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect in the imperial city, wielding considerable power.

"Honestly, if someone dares to steal the Medical Acupuncture Technique of the Divine Doctor Sect, just arrest them. Why bother dragging me out here?" The deacon was quite impatient and somewhat angry.

He had been looked after by two young women and indulged in comfort; he really did not want to leave that behind.

Pang Dahai could only reply with a bitter smile, "Forgive me, Deacon, but we had to involve you since the other party refuses to confess, and their attitude is extremely bad. It seems only you have the ability to suppress them and make them bow their heads in admission of guilt."

The deacon snorted coldly, "Who has the audacity to commit theft and then refuse to confess? Just grab them, and if they won't confess, beat them with a stick until they do and hand over that Medical Acupuncture Technique, isn't that straightforward?"

Pang Dahai said with a smile, "Since the Deacon has spoken, I will follow your instructions and arrest this person, shall I?"

"Do just that, grab them now, immediately, and beat them until they confess. Don't waste my damn time; afterward, I still need to go back to sleep," said the so-called deacon, not forgetting to sneak grins at the two young women by his side.

With the Deacon's command, Pang Dahai straightened his back, cleared his throat, and was about to take action.

At this moment, Ye Feng spoke up with a mocking laugh, "I was wondering who it could be, turns out it's you, Black Rat. Here I am; if you've got the guts, try to arrest me and beat me to death."

"Rascal!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The deacon was immediately furious. Although his nickname was Black Rat, because he indeed resembled a rat, not many dared to call him that to his face, except for a few high-ranking officials in the Headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect.

"Is it you, lad? Stealing the Medical Acupuncture Technique of the Divine Doctor Sect, this is outrageous! You've committed a capital offense; do you know that? Someone! What are you dawdling for? Capture this youngster for me and we'll start with fifty lashes!"

The deacon then waved his hand, an authoritative gesture as though commanding an army.

Pang Dahai nodded slightly, and several experts from the Divine Doctor Sect who had been waiting rushed forward.

Ye Feng's expression remained unchanged, seated in his wheelchair in the center of the hall, eyes sharp as a blade, staring at the deacon as he enunciated, "Black Rat, you better open your small eyes wide and see who I am!"

Qitian Gate roared in anger at this sight, "This Frenzied Son-in-Law of the Hong Family is truly incorrigible, even bold enough to be insolent in front of the Deacon. He must be severely punished!"

The deacon had not cared initially, and due to his recent exertions with the two women, he was physically drained and his eyesight not at its best, so he hadn't really glanced at anyone carefully since entering.

In his mind, among those in the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province, only the heads of the Four Great Families warranted a second glance from him.

However, he suddenly found the voice familiar; not just the voice, but the tone of speech seemed reminiscent of something he had heard before.

So he hurriedly looked closely, and upon recognizing the person, felt a chill run down his spine and his legs softened.

As it happened, at that moment, several experts from the Divine Doctor Sect had already charged forward, ready to lay hands on the one sitting in the wheelchair.

The deacon, trembling all over but still a high-ranking official in the Headquarters of the Divine Doctor Sect and a Master of Inner Force, said nothing more. He quickly stepped forward, first kicking the nearest expert from the Divine Doctor Sect onto the ground, then with a punch, he sent another flying, and with a swift kick of his hand, he flung the remaining thug away.

The sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned, utterly confounded by the Deacon's sudden outburst.

Pang Dahai couldn't help stepping forward and said, "Deacon, what has happened to you... You have it wrong, our enemy is the one sitting in the wheelchair..."

"Wrong your grandma..."

With a roar, the deacon slapped Pang Dahai across the face, "You say he is the enemy? His grandma's, I see you, Pang Pighead, as my enemy!"

Still furious, the deacon kicked out at Pang Dahai's lower abdomen, sending him tumbling to the ground, legs in the air.

Pang Dahai was baffled; as a Master of Inner Force, he could have avoided the kick, but he couldn't, so he had to accept this nameless disaster.

Qitian Gate's lackey was ever so competent, rushing over to try and support Pang Dahai.

The deacon from the imperial capital was burning with rage. Without saying another word, he kicked again, flipping Qitian Gate onto the ground.

Everyone present was stunned, clueless about what madness had struck this rat-like fellow.

Among all present, only Ye Feng remained unfazed, as if he had foreseen this scene unfolding.

After doing all this, the deacon straightened his clothes, which shocked everyone further; he suddenly knelt before Ye Feng.

"Lord Ye, I was blind and did not recognize you immediately. Please, I beg for your punishment!" the deacon wailed at Ye Feng's feet.

Gulp…

Pang Dahai felt a sinking feeling in his heart, as if he'd fallen into an abyss; a chill surged from his feet to his head.

"It's over, it's all over now... I've kicked the iron board!" Pang Dahai inwardly cried out.

Among those present, there were many who shared this sentiment, including Qitian Gate, whose face turned ashen.

Cui Hao, on the other hand, sensed that something was terribly wrong.

The Yan Family representative whispered, "This man with the surname Ye... he's going to suffer now. I never imagined that he..."

"It's over. Considering how we've offended him, our Family Head is probably beyond help now!"

Cui Hao muttered coldly, "Thinking about saving the Family Head at this time is pointless. We should be planning for what comes next. If we're not careful, the entire clan could suffer repercussions!"

Everyone felt a wave of headache wash over them.

Ye Feng, looking down upon them, said, "Having eyes but failing to recognize Mount Tai, it's not exactly your fault, but it's fortunate that you still recognized me."

The deacon trembled with fear, fortunate indeed to have recognized him; otherwise, he would likely have paid with his life today.

He lay prostrate, not daring to lift his head: "Lord Ye, with your awe-inspiring presence and dignified bearing, you astonish both heaven and earth. Although I've only seen you once before, it is something... it is something I dare not forget for all eternity!"

Though aware of his mistake, it never hurt to lavish praise in such situations. At this moment, the deacon bitterly regretted not being better at his literary studies, which would have allowed him to list even more complimentary idioms.

Ye Feng said in a deep voice, "What is your name?"

"In front of you, Lord, I dare not mention my own unworthy name. Since you just called me Black Rat, then let me be known as Black Rat!"

The Black Rat Deacon lay on the ground. Ye Feng hadn't instructed him to rise, so he didn't dare to lift his head.
