Hearing these words, everyone was stunned once again.

Is he serious?

"Anyone can talk big. Take them down, now!" Zheng Nantian immediately issued the command.

In that instant, a group of bodyguards in black suits, all wielding knives, charged toward Chen Zheng.

Just then, a series of violent tremors came from outside, as if the entire bar was shaking with the ground. The thunderous noise grew louder and closer, like an ancient behemoth stirring outside. Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone uncontrollably stepped back, staring at the main entrance in utter terror.

With an earth-shattering BOOM, the adjacent wall was smashed open, creating a massive hole. A green steel behemoth—a tank—barreled in from outside. The war machine charged forward like a torrent of steel, pausing for nothing and crushing anyone in its path. Blood and flesh flew amidst continuous screams.

Almost simultaneously, numerous ropes descended from above as countless figures in camouflage rappelled down, pointing their guns at the members of the two families.

A moment later, the bar was dead silent. No one dared to utter a single word. The men and women who had just been enjoying their night felt as if they were hallucinating.

We just came here to have some fun, how did it turn into this? Even a tank showed up! What kind of joke is this?

Fan Xuwang and Zheng Nantian swallowed hard, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads. Their minds went blank, losing the ability to even think.

Just what kind of person is this Chen Zheng?

No matter how powerful or feared their families were, they could never command such a force.

"Too bad..." Chen Zheng sighed, a hint of disappointment in his low voice. "The most crucial person didn't even show up."

Then, he casually waved his hand. In that instant, every knife clattered to the floor. With just a single, careless motion, he had disarmed everyone.

At that moment, every person present looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Fan Xuwang and Zheng Nantian dropped to their knees, trembling uncontrollably. They desperately wanted to know what kind of terrifying existence they had provoked.

"Fan Xuwang, why do you think your brother was blacklisted?" Chen Zheng sneered mockingly. "Why do you think my subordinate dared to so casually snap your brother's fingers? It's because in my eyes, you're nothing more than a cockroach!"

Seeing Chen Zheng looking down on them, Fan Xukun, who was still lying on the ground in agony, was struck with utter disbelief.

After all this, the mysterious big shot who blacklisted me... was Chen Zheng?

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have dared to provoke such a man, not even with ten thousand times the courage.

Fan Xuwang was even more overwhelmed with helplessness, sick with regret.

"Mr. Chen..." Fan Xuwang crawled forward on his knees, tears streaming down his face. "Mr. Chen, it was all our fault! Please, spare our lives! Please, spare our families!"

At that moment, he finally grasped what kind of power he had offended. The so-called major families of Jiangnan, the century-old lineages... this man could annihilate them with a mere wave of his hand.

"Get the hell away," Zhao Feng stepped forward and kicked Fan Xuwang aside. "Don't you dare dirty the War God's pants!"

"Xu Ronghua still hasn't appeared?" Chen Zheng's brow furrowed slightly.

In truth, despite all his preparations, the person he most wanted to see today was Xu Ronghua. He had never expected that members of both families would show up, but Xu Ronghua himself would be absent.

"That old fox is incredibly cunning. He must have sensed something," Zhao Feng huffed, clenching his fists.

Chen Zheng chuckled lightly and walked slowly toward Xu Tianlong. Xu Tianlong scrambled backward, desperately trying to get away, but Chen Zheng stepped directly on his hand, pinning it to the floor.

"From the looks of it, your father couldn't care less about you," Chen Zheng's expression was full of mockery.

Xu Tianlong slowly raised his head, a grim smile on his pale face. "You don't understand my father at all. He's an expert at cutting his losses. Besides... he has plenty of illegitimate children out there. Missing one like me means nothing to him."

As he spoke, he shook his head with profound self-deprecation.

"Contact your father. Immediately," Chen Zheng said calmly.

Xu Tianlong just chuckled faintly.

"I'll say it one last time: contact your father." Sensing the murderous intent radiating from Chen Zheng, Xu Tianlong shuddered.

He dared not hesitate any longer. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed his father. After more than ten seconds, the call connected.

"Father..."

"Give the phone to the person next to you," a calm voice came from the other end.

"Put it on speaker," Chen Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Chen Zheng. I didn't expect you to actually make it here," the man on the phone sighed deeply.

"You should know perfectly well that I will never let you go," a cold smile touched Chen Zheng's lips. "So you'd better be prepared. Don't try to pull any new tricks."

"Of course I know you wouldn't give up. And I know you're completely different now. Liu Changhai has already been crippled by you. I also know you're the one protecting Jingsheng Group, and you had a hand in the Xixi affair as well. I know everything about you..."

From beginning to end, the voice on the phone remained unnervingly calm, as if he were recounting a story that had nothing to do with him.

"Very good," Chen Zheng said, his voice dropping. "Since you know all that, you should also understand that I can make you, Ma Wenyuan, disappear with a snap of my fingers."

"You couldn't possibly believe I changed my name because I was afraid of you, could you?" Ma Wenyuan burst into laughter. "I'm not afraid to tell you, even if I could do it all over again, I would make the exact same choice. Nothing would change."

"Very good," Chen Zheng said icily. "Then you'd better keep that head on your shoulders. I'm going to make you tell me everything yourself."

"I can tell you everything. But how about we make a bet?"

"Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?" Chen Zheng's face was full of contempt.

"Chen Zheng, you know it was others who harmed your father," Ma Wenyuan sneered. "Aren't you the least bit curious to learn anything... about your mother?"
