Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Is He a Fake War God?!

Facing the crowd’s groveling, Chen Wei remained expressionless and repeated, "I’ve said, I want to see the South-Guarding King."

"Okay, I will contact him right away and have him come to see you." This time, Lin Pingchang didn’t dare to say anything more and honestly took out his phone, found the South-Guarding King, and made the call.

The first call was instantly hung up.

If such a thing had happened in the past, Lin Pingchang would have immediately given up on calling the South-Guarding King, knowing he must be busy with important matters.

But with an SSS-level War God right in front of him demanding to see the South-Guarding King, what could Lin Pingchang do? He could only summon his courage and call again.

If he didn’t make this call, he really had no chance of surviving today; he was probably going to end up as a sacrificial offering for the Guo Family!

The call was finally answered, and even through the phone, Lin Pingchang could feel just how angry the South-Guarding King was. He hastily explained, "South-Guarding King, please hear me out. I assure you, I didn’t mean to disturb you while you were working—someone is urgently requesting to meet with you."

"It’s the SSS-level War God who wants to see you, yes, I am certain."

"You’re right, it’s my fault for not informing you in time."

"He is right here in my office. Okay, I’ll wait for you to come."

The call on the other end was hung up, and Lin Pingchang barely dared to breathe, before he promptly reported to Chen Wei, "The South-Guarding King said he will be here shortly and asks that you wait a moment."

"Hmm," Chen Wei acknowledged with a single, sparing word.

Knowing that it would take some time for the South-Guarding King to arrive.

The father and daughter of the Guo Family exchanged glances, hurriedly trotted to Chen Wei, and without a word, knelt before him, bowing deeply and pleading, "Previously, my daughter and I were unaware of your noble status and offended you. For our rash actions, we beg the War God to quell his anger and spare us, spare the Guo Family."

"You’ve tried to kill me time and time again, yet you expect me to spare you? Do you think that’s possible?" Chen Wei couldn’t fathom where Guo Tianren had gotten the audacity to say such things to his face.

"I know I am on a path to certain death; these acts were all my doing, having nothing to do with my daughter or the Guo Family. I am willing to trade my life for the War God’s forgiveness." As he spoke, Guo Tianren produced a knife seemingly out of nowhere and was about to stab himself.

But he didn’t dare; he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

"Go ahead, stab yourself. What’s the matter? You don’t dare? So what’s with all this feigned bravado?" Chen Wei said, unimpressed.

"..." Guo Tianren.

He glanced at Guo Qinglan.

Understanding the hint, Guo Qinglan knelt and crawled to Chen Wei’s feet, wrapping her arms around his legs and looking up at him with beseeching eyes, "If the War God would spare our state, I would be willing to serve as a slave for life, attending to the War God."

Guo Qinglan thought to herself that, being one of the four great beauties of Sheep City, there weren’t many men who could resist her stunning beauty, and surely Chen Wei would be no exception.

"..." Watching his fiancée clinging to another man’s legs, willing to offer herself up in an effort to appease him, Lin Pinchang’s emotions were a complex mixture of feelings, but he dared not utter a word of complaint.

He was struggling to save himself; where would he find the state of mind to care about a woman?

"Let go! You’re too filthy, not worthy of him!" the Holy Maiden drew her sword, pointing it at Guo Qinglan’s throat.

One more inch forward, and she could instantly end Guo Qinglan’s life.

"Worthiness is for the War God to decide, not you," Guo Qinglan retorted, though inwardly she exclaimed, "Truly beautiful!"

To her astonishment, she realized that up close, the Holy Maiden’s skin was flawless and unadorned with makeup, not needing to resort to the heavy cosmetics she herself used to surpass all others in beauty!

Before the Holy Maiden could speak, Chen Wei preempted, "She’s right, I indeed have no interest in a woman like you."

He applied force with his foot, kicking Guo Qinglan away.

"Ah!" Guo Qinglan screamed as she fell a meter away, the first time she’d ever been proactively affectionate and rejected.

She was furious but didn’t dare to express it.

Guo Tianren still wanted to say something, to plead for Chen Wei’s forgiveness, as the fate of the Guo Family was at stake; he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

"South-Guarding King!"

Lin Pinchang’s utterance of ’South-Guarding King’ forced Guo Tianren to choke back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

It’s over, the Guo Family is finished!

"Who is the SSS-ranked War God? Shouldn’t all SSS-ranked War Gods be in the Imperial Capital? How could one end up in Sheep City? Could it be an imposter?" the South-Guarding King said.

Impostor!

Hearing this word, hope ignited in the hearts of the three, indeed considering the possibility.

Chen Wei knew he was no match for Lin Pinchang, so he impersonated an SSS-ranked War God!

A cornered dog will leap over a wall; it wasn’t strange that he would do such a thing.

"I just glanced at the War God Order earlier. Now that I think about it, it certainly could be a fake," Lin Pinchang replied.

He turned and berated Lin Tao and the others, "What are you still standing there for? Move aside and let the South-Guarding King get a good look if that guy is really an imposter of the SSS-ranked War God or not!"

"Yes!" Lin Tao and the others quickly stepped aside.

Chen Wei’s gaze met that of the South-Guarding King.

Chen Wei was also surprised but soon offered a slight smile, "Well? What do you think, am I real or fake?"

"Fake..."

As soon as the South-Guarding King uttered two words, Lin Pingchang and the Guo father and daughter felt as if an invisible hand that had been tightly gripping their hearts, ready to burst them, finally released, bringing immense relief.

"You filthy beast, how dare you impersonate an SSS-ranked War God! I implore the South-Guarding King to execute him on the spot!" Lin Pinchang was the first to speak.

"I implore the South-Guarding King to execute him on the spot!"

"I implore the South-Guarding King to execute this man on the spot!"

Guo Tianren and Guo Qinglan, father and daughter, promptly followed suit.

Boom!

The next second, the South-Guarding King’s face changed dramatically, he lifted his foot and kicked Lin Pinchang, sending him flying seven or eight meters away, crashing hard against a writing desk.

"What are you, daring to sow discord between him and me!" the South-Guarding King said coldly.

"But, but didn’t you just say that he was an imposter?" Lin Pinchang’s voice was weak as he lay on the ground, unable to get up, feeling as if his spine was broken.

"Indeed, he isn’t an SSS-ranked War God, but he is the boss of all SSS-ranked War Gods!" the South-Guarding King said, his eyes filled with rage.

The boss of all SSS-ranked War Gods!!!

Upon hearing these words, Lin Pinchang and the Guo family members nearly lost their souls out of sheer terror.

"Alright, stop flattering me. I didn’t expect that after a few years I haven’t seen you, you became the South-Guarding King, just a step away from War God. Do you need me to promote you?" Chen Wei asked.

The South-Guarding King, codenamed Sky Wolf, was one of his most trusted subordinates.

"No, boss, you know I like to advance step by step. Whether I can become a War God, I will work hard for it myself. If not, so be it. If you asked me to be a War God, those above would surely oblige without a word and let me take that position immediately, but that wouldn’t be interesting," Sky Wolf came to Chen Wei’s side and refused.

"You’re still as principled as ever. Fine, do it yourself. I won’t interfere."

Seeing Chen Wei casually put his arm around Sky Wolf’s shoulder, chatting and laughing, everyone could no longer doubt his identity.

Lin Pinchang, Guo Tianren, and Guo Qinglan, recalling their recent pleas to the South-Guarding King for the immediate execution of Chen Wei, wished they could bet their entire fortunes to buy some Regret Medicine. They would take it bottle after bottle, basin after basin if they could!
