Carrying two heads, Shan Qiwang was full of verve, moving as if no one could stand in his way.
Only he knew the tempest raging in his heart.
How exhilarating this was!
He appeared gentle and agreeable, able to get along with anyone. In reality, he looked down on the vast majority of these people.
The reason he'd initially come to admire Chen Ping'an was because he had been won over by his commander's decisiveness and daring methods. To annihilate two major gangs in succession—what a display of sheer power!
Afterward, news of Feng Shixian's death had arrived, shaking the entire city. From top to bottom, the Garrison Commandant's Office was in a state of panic. Shan Qiwang had naturally been flustered as well. The mainstay he had relied on for so long had suddenly died—anyone would have felt the same.
Just as he began to collect himself, then came the news that the new Commander-in-Chief had been assassinated en route!
