The door of the lead carriage slowly opened. A middle-aged man stepped out.
His expression was calm, yet his eyes were sharp and imposing.
Years of commanding armies had forged an invisible pressure around him.
This was General Lei Jun. The most powerful military figure within thousands of miles.
A younger man exited the carriage shortly afterward.
His features resembled the general's somewhat, indicating a close relationship.
Father and son.
Both carried themselves with the bearing of seasoned warriors.
Their backs were straight as arrows. Their steps were steady and firm.
To the spectators, it almost looked as though they were advancing onto a battlefield rather than entering a private residence.
Every movement attracted attention. Every step caused countless hearts to tense.
The two men eventually arrived before the castle gates.
Standing guard at the entrance was a young man whom General Lei Jun had never seen before.
