Shock!
Everyone in the room was shocked!
All eyes were fixed on Zhao family patriarch and the two middle-aged men, filled with astonishment and disbelief.
No one could have imagined that the esteemed patriarch of the Zhao family in the prosperous city of Fuzhou would kneel before Wang Chao and address him as the Lord.
What was happening?
"Zhao Shenbing, what are you standing there for? Kneel down and pay respects to the Lord," the Zhao family patriarch turned around and glared at Zhao Shenbing.
Zhao Shenbing's eyes widened in shock and confusion. Reluctantly, he knelt before Wang Chao, feeling like a stormy sea of emotions was raging within him, unable to calm down for a long time.
The Zhao family patriarch was the backbone of the Zhao family, holding great power and authority. Even the Fuzhou War Department showed utmost respect when encountering him, addressing him as the patriarch.
Now, such a prominent figure was kneeling before Wang Chao. It was simply unimaginable!
"Pay respects to the Lord!" The Zhao family patriarch continued with utmost respect.
Shen Bing was taken aback. "Patriarch, are you mistaking someone for another?"
"Yeah, are you mistaking someone?" Wang Chao also spoke up.
"I haven't made a mistake. My Lord, don't you recognize me?" The Zhao family patriarch looked at Wang Chao with a respectful and excited gaze. "Three years ago, in the city of Baidi overseas, I represented the Zhao family in negotiating a cross-border business deal. However, I was attacked by a mercenary group and nearly died. It was you, my Lord, who saved me!"
"Three years ago, in Baidi City?" Wang Chao was momentarily stunned.
Three years ago, he had indeed been on a mission in Baidi City, Saudi Arabia, and had dealt with a group of ruthless mercenaries.
However, the person he had saved back then was not the Zhao family patriarch but someone else.
"My Lord, you have a distinguished identity, and it's normal for you to forget me. But you did save me, and I am forever grateful for your life-saving grace. Please accept my bow!" The Zhao family patriarch looked at Wang Chao with excitement and gratitude, once again bowing down in deep respect.
Three years ago, he had witnessed firsthand Wang Chao's strength and terror in Dubai.
At that time, the mercenary group besieging them was formidable, and there were even terrifying King Level masters among them.
All of his bodyguards had died at the hands of the King Level masters, leaving him alone and falling into a state of terrifying despair. It was then that Wang Chao had descended from the sky and successively slain several King Level masters.
At that time, he was shocked by Wang Chao's terror.
Even now, the image of Wang Chao slaying King Level masters was deeply imprinted in his mind.
As the patriarch of the Zhao family, he had lived a lifetime, experienced storms and tempests, but it was the first time he had encountered someone so formidable and terrifying, effortlessly slaying King Level masters like chopping vegetables.
Since then, he had regarded Wang Chao as his lifelong idol and had been constantly searching for his traces and information.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
Today, upon learning that Zhao Chongyang was in trouble, he immediately investigated the surveillance footage. After seeing Wang Chao's figure, he immediately recognized him as the legendary Lord he had encountered in Baidi City three years ago.
Therefore, he rushed over to pay respects to Wang Chao, wanting to confirm if he was indeed the person who saved his life three years ago.
Upon closer inspection, he finally confirmed that the man before him was the Lord from three years ago!
He looked at Wang Chao with excitement, his beard even curling up, his gaze filled with fervent admiration and respect.
"Old patriarch, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm the bodyguard of President Shen, not the Lord. Please get up and talk," Wang Chao frowned and said.
At that time, during the battle in Baidi City, he exerted too much force, causing his true qi to surge uncontrollably and shatter his mask.
At that time, he had slain all the criminals and opponents, but his appearance had been seen by a few individuals.
Since they were ordinary people, he didn't harm them and simply left with his face covered by a cloth.
Unexpectedly, Zhao family patriarch was one of those people from back then.
If the patriarch recognized him, his identity would likely be exposed, causing unnecessary trouble.
If this matter got out, his family would be in danger.
Therefore, no matter what, he would not admit his identity.
The old patriarch immediately understood Wang Chao's meaning and hastily stood up, smiling. "Mr. Wang, I mistook someone earlier. I apologize."
As he stood up, the other members of the Zhao family also stood up.
"It's alright. It's normal for one's eyesight to deteriorate with old age and mistake people," Wang Chao waved his hand.
The old patriarch smiled faintly, then bowed to Wang Chao again. "Mr. Wang, Miss Shen, regarding this incident, it was our Zhao family's fault. We are willing to compensate."
"Don't worry, if we find out that Zhao Chongyang is at fault, I'll not show any mercy!"
Zhao Shenbing and the others looked at each other, their eyes filled with even more fear and dread.
The fact that the Zhao family patriarch disregarded the family's dignity to this extent indicated that Wang Chao's identity and background were definitely extraordinary.
"This is your Zhao family's matter. Handle it yourselves. President Shen and I don't want to be disturbed by others," Wang Chao uttered in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the old patriarch immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Alright, alright, I'll leave right away with everyone. If you need anything, feel free to contact me at any time."
"Even if it means going through fire and water, I'll not hesitate."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and leave. President Shen is not available to see guests at the moment," Wang Chao impatiently waved his hand.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
The old patriarch was overjoyed and immediately led everyone to leave.
Even more astonishingly, he respectfully closed the doors that Zhao Chongyang and the others had crashed open earlier.
Once outside the doors, he could not contain his joy, trembling with excitement, and almost bursting out laughing.
"Old patriarch, who exactly is this Wang Chao?" Zhao Shenbing finally dared to voice his inner thoughts.
Slap!
Before he could finish his sentence, the old patriarch fiercely slapped him.
"Old patriarch..." Zhao Shenbing was dumbfounded.
"You bastard!"
The old patriarch glared angrily, scolding, "Zhao Shenbing, you must be blind and utterly foolish!"
"Do you know that if I had been a second late, you would be dead!"
"Do you know who that person inside is?"
"Who is he?" Zhao Shenbing asked.
"He is..."
The old patriarch glared at Zhao Shenbing and was about to speak, but in the next moment, he forcibly swallowed down Wang Chao's identity and sneered, "He's someone that would scare you to death if I told you. It's better for you not to know!"
"Just know one thing, if you had struck him just now, it would be you who would be dead!"
"I, the renowned Seven-Star War God, would be killed by him?" Zhao Shenbing clearly did not believe it.
"Seven-Star War God? Haha, that person inside easily slays King-level experts as if chopping vegetables. What's there for you, a mere Seven-Star War God, to be proud of?"
"What... What?"
Upon hearing the old patriarch's words, both Zhao Shenbing and the two middle-aged members of the Zhao family turned pale.
Great King-level experts!
They're extremely rare even within the Dragon Kingdom!
The Three Elders of the War Department, who held the highest power in the Dragon Kingdom, were super experts at the King level.
Such individuals could dominate in the world, and it was Zhao Shenbing's dream.
Now, the old patriarch was saying that Wang Chao had effortlessly slain King-level experts as if chopping vegetables?
How... How was that possible?
