Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

"This... Hall Master, should we first send someone to investigate the strength of the Chen Family before making a decision? Sending out a Heavenly Rank Perfection level expert without confirming the Chen Family’s strength might be... overkill, no?"

The Vice Hall Master looked at Ming Lun, trying to persuade him.

"No, no, no, you might have misunderstood my intentions!"

Ming Lun shook his head and said with a cold laugh, "Who said I’m only sending out a single Heavenly Rank Perfection expert? I plan to deploy all of our Nether Flame Hall’s Heavenly Rank Perfection experts, as well as all of our main forces. I refuse to believe that we can’t wipe out a mere Chen Family this time!"

Upon hearing this statement,

the faces of everyone present were filled with shock.

Apparently,

they all hadn’t expected Ming Lun to be so crazed, planning to send out all of Nether Flame Hall’s Heavenly Rank Perfection experts and all their main forces.

This is truly terrifying.

After all, for a first-rate power,

this is virtually a full-scale mobilization.

Such a lineup is usually only deployed in life-and-death duels between two powers.

Moreover, the opponent must also be a first-rate power.

But now,

we’re merely dealing with a small third-rate family, a newly established Chen Family that hasn’t even been around for a year.

Ming Lun, the Hall Master of Nether Flame Hall, intending to deploy all the main forces, really caught everyone off guard.

"Hall Master, please reconsider. Mobilizing so many main force experts just to attack a tiny Chen Family—isn’t it a bit of an overreaction? If word gets out, we will surely be mocked!"

The Vice Hall Master patiently tried to persuade again.

"A joke? Our Nether Flame Hall is already a joke; do you remember what you just said to me? If we fail to conquer the Chen Family this time, the disgrace to Nether Flame Hall will be enormous. I don’t want to disgrace us further. Therefore, this time I want to ensure a 100% annihilation of the Chen Family, so I’m sending all main forces to conquer them, and I’ll personally lead the charge. I assume you all have no objections?"

Ming Lun said through gritted teeth.

"What!"

All present were shocked.

After all,

Ming Lun, as the Hall Master of a first-rate power like Nether Flame Hall, the highest authority, is actually planning to lead the charge personally.

It’s akin to an emperor leading troops in ancient times.

"Hall Master, you..."

The Vice Hall Master’s expression changed, hoping to persuade Ming Lun once more.

However,

Ming Lun fiercely glared at the Vice Hall Master and said coldly, "My mind is made up, no need to persuade me further. Give the orders, from this moment, Nether Flame Hall officially enters a state of war readiness; all main forces prepare to follow my orders at any time. This time, I am determined to annihilate the Chen Family in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this,

the higher-ups exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss.

Seeing the higher-ups remain silent and unresponsive, Ming Lun’s face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "What? All deaf? Can’t you even breathe!"

Once Ming Lun spoke those words,

the higher-ups trembled all over, quickly replying, "Yes, sir!"

Ming Lun snorted coldly, then turned and walked out of the main hall.

After Ming Lun left the hall,

the Vice Hall Master let out a long sigh and collapsed into his chair.

At this moment,

the other higher-ups also surrounded the Vice Hall Master.

"Vice Hall Master, what should we do? Hall Master seems to be fuming with rage and has somewhat lost his senses, wanting to mobilize all of Nether Flame Hall’s forces to attack a mere third-rate small family. Isn’t this like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

"Indeed, you are the closest person to the Hall Master and should earnestly advise him; otherwise, even if we follow his plan to wipe out the Chen Family with all our forces, it wouldn’t reflect well on Nether Flame Hall!"

"Exactly, the Hall Master is a bit irrational right now. You must advise him well; even if we attack the Chen Family, we should send the intelligence department first to check things out, to find out why the ten Heavenly Rank Late Stage experts we’ve sent before failed against the Chen Family, and then decide. Not just recklessly deploying all our main forces and even having the Hall Master lead personally; it’s absurd!"

...

At that moment,

the higher-ups expressed their opinions to the Vice Hall Master.

After all, while Ming Lun was present,

they didn’t dare make a sound, fearing Ming Lun might turn against them.

But now that Ming Lun was gone,

they opened up, expressing their hopes to the Vice Hall Master to convey their advice to Ming Lun.

Listening to their suggestions,

the Vice Hall Master glared at them fiercely, sneering as he asked:

"You want me to advise him? You all saw how the Hall Master was just now. Do you think my advice would help? Yet you expect me to advise him! Seems like you’re setting me up to take the fall?"

"Why didn’t any of you speak up when I was advising the Hall Master, leaving me to face his wrath alone? Now that the Hall Master is gone, you’re complaining. Have the guts, and go advise the Hall Master yourselves! Why are you nagging me?"

It was clear,

the Vice Hall Master held resentment towards these higher-ups.

After all, he had stood up first to advise Ming Lun under pressure.

But when Ming Lun furiously reprimanded him, none of the higher-ups stood up to support him; instead, they stood by and watched.

How could this not leave the Vice Hall Master disheartened? How could he not be angry?

So, hearing the higher-ups now,

the Vice Hall Master was far from interested in engaging with them.

"Vice Hall Master, that’s not quite right. Since you are the Vice Hall Master, this is your responsibility, isn’t it?"

"Indeed, among all of us, only you can communicate with the Hall Master; naturally, this task falls to you!"

"Vice Hall Master, we didn’t mean not to support you. It’s just that the Hall Master was in a foul mood, and only you could withstand the pressure. If we spoke up and provoked the Hall Master’s ire, we could have been killed on the spot!"

The higher-ups each voiced their concerns.

"You’re talking nonsense! You all are hopeless; I can’t rely on anyone! Anyway, I can’t persuade the Hall Master. If any of you have the courage, go talk to him yourselves, don’t come to me. I’m not meddling in this!"

The Vice Hall Master shot the higher-ups a disdainful look and said irritably.
