National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

On the way, Sun Canxing kept stealing curious glances at Chu He’s profile. He even secretly took out his phone,

searching online for videos and photos of Chu He. After comparing them, he found an ever-increasing resemblance.

”No need to make comparisons in secret. I am Chu He.”

Chu He said, one hand on the steering wheel, ”I’m quite pleased that you chose to come with me today.

But honestly, whether you got in this car or not, whether you were willing to follow me to tonight’s gathering,

I was going to get rid of this dark cloud hanging over Haitong City either way.”

”How can you prove you’re Chu He?”

Sun Canxing felt like he was in a dream.

A kid from a bottom-tier family in a third-rate city

was suddenly face-to-face with the man known as the strongest person on Blue Star in his most desperate moment.

Not even the over-the-top CEO novels he’d read before had plots this absurd.

After all, their worlds were poles apart; under normal circumstances, their paths would never cross.

But now, the unexpected had happened.

Chu He had actually appeared before him, and he even knew about the trouble Sun Canxing was in.

He was even going to step in and solve it personally.

It was all so surreal that Sun Canxing couldn’t help but be filled with doubt.

”Because how many people on this planet, especially within the Great Xia Empire’s borders, would dare to impersonate Chu He?”

Chu He didn’t explain. He simply stated a fact.

Sun Canxing froze for a moment.

If anyone else had said that, Sun Canxing would have definitely thought they were just bragging,

and being overly arrogant and confident.

But since the words came from Chu He,

Sun Canxing inexplicably found them to be smooth and natural.

It was as if a figure like Chu He was supposed to say such confident, arrogant things.

Because it was the truth. Across the entire Blue Star, especially within the Great Xia Empire,

there was likely no one audacious enough to parade through the city in a top-of-the-line luxury car, claiming to be Chu He.

That would be no different from asking for death.

To the vast majority of the Great Xia Empire’s citizens, Chu He was the ever-victorious War God.

He was the spiritual pillar for all the people of the Great Xia Empire and the National Guardian War God who ensured everyone’s safety.

This, in turn, created a situation for the Great Xia Empire’s Queen, Lu Yinxing,

that was completely different from the public opinion surrounding the Great Jing Empire’s Queen, Ji Shengyue.

After driving for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the location of the gathering.

This was a suburban area, quite remote from Haitong City’s central district, but the scenery here was exceptionally beautiful.

On the distant horizon, a magnificent sunset spread across the sky like a brocade tapestry woven by a celestial maiden, heralding the gentle arrival of dusk.

In the distance, a grand and majestic mountain resort came into view, standing proudly amidst the lush, green forests.

The resort’s architectural style was unique, blending classical and modern aesthetics. Glazed tiles glinted golden in the setting sun, sparking the imagination.

Within the resort grounds, there was even a small, verdant mountain.

A winding racetrack snaked through the woods like a lithe serpent. On either side, flowers of every color vied for attention, emitting a faint fragrance that mingled with the occasional birdsong from afar, creating a melodious song of nature.

On the track, the sleek figures of sports cars could occasionally be seen speeding past, leaving brilliant streaks of light in their wake.

As the car slowly drove through the resort’s main gate,

a vast array of sports cars and luxury vehicles were parked haphazardly on the manicured lawns like works of art.

From vintage classics to futuristic concept cars, each one gleamed with a unique luster,

showcasing the extraordinary taste of its owner.

The air was filled with the faint smell of gasoline and the scent of high-end leather.

Amidst this opulent scene, groups of young people gathered in clusters of three and five.

Their laughter was as crisp as silver bells, their conversations interspersed with heated discussions about the performance of the latest sports cars

or expressions of eager anticipation for some upcoming party.

Some of them were dressed in casual, fashionable attire, exuding a free-spirited nonchalance.

Others were a bit more flamboyant, yet still possessed a unique charm.

But every face overflowed with the unique vitality and passion of youth.

Occasionally, someone would light a cigarette, and plumes of smoke would drift upward,

their figures appearing hazy and mysterious in the swirling smoke, as if shrouded by a mystical veil.

Elsewhere, a group of socialites and heiresses in expensive gowns chatted elegantly, their smiles as gentle as a spring breeze, their movements as graceful as orchids.

They were like figures who had quietly stepped out of an old oil painting.

The exquisite embroidery and brilliant jewels on their gowns sparkled under the lights,

complementing the noble air they naturally exuded.

Some spoke in soft whispers, their voices as pleasant as a babbling brook.

Others laughed brightly, their smiles as dazzling as a profusion of spring blossoms.

The air was filled with a subtle and complex mix of competition and harmony, like an unseen undercurrent.

By now, the sun had quietly disappeared behind the mountains, but there was no sign of twilight gloom within the resort.

Lampposts lit up one by one, their light warm and soft,

like twinkling stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire resort as if it were daytime.

Beneath the lamps, light and shadow intertwined,

adding a touch of fantasy and romance to this luxurious place, making it as enchanting as a fairy-tale world.

This mountain resort was undoubtedly a perfect example of nature and human ingenuity combined.

It not only possessed the beauty of the landscape but also displayed unparalleled artistic charm in its architectural design.

It cleverly blended the classical charm of Chinese style with the modern luxury of Western style,

creating breathtaking vistas like a magnificent, colorful scroll painting that captivated the soul and made it hard to look away.

”Why are they so rich?

And it seems like they just keep getting richer. For someone from a family like mine, no matter how hard I work,

it feels like life will only get worse and worse.”

It was Sun Canxing’s first time in a place like this,

and he was inevitably stunned by the magnificent, splendid, and breathtaking scenery.

After the shock came a tide of dejection and faint despair.

Even though Sun Canxing had always been a rather proud person, he couldn’t help but feel his defenses crumble.

”Human society is, in the end, just nature wrapped in a veneer of elegance.

It will always revere the law of the jungle.

The pie of humanity is only so big. If you don’t fight for a slice, you won’t get to eat.”

Chu He got out of the car and closed the door.

Only Gu Chen was walking over from a short distance away. Meng Fan and the other young masters had already left.

Watching Gu Chen approach, Chu He smiled. ”Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble by being seen so close to me? If my power and background don’t measure up to that Yu Qiming, wouldn’t you suffer right along with me?”

”I still have a fair amount of faith in my own judgment.”

Gu Chen shook his head. ”But faith is one thing. I can’t bet everything on you. Good luck.”

After saying that, Gu Chen walked over to the other side,

going to greet the other wealthy heiresses, socialites, and young masters.

Many people were still frequently glancing in their direction.

Chu He was one thing. Although his clothes were rather ordinary,

the aura he exuded was simply too powerful.

It made many of the young people from prominent families afraid to meet his gaze.

Sun Canxing, on the other hand, was wearing his high school uniform, which looked completely out of place and jarring in this environment.
