637: Chapter 638 Precious Souvenirs_1 637: Chapter 638 Precious Souvenirs_1 “It can’t be you!”

Zhou Wu shook his head.

He really found it funny, how could he have suspected Xiao Chen?

A mere son-in-law who joined the family by marriage, how could he possibly have such a master serve him?

Xiao Chen just smiled, without retorting.

Zhou Wu left.

However, the preparation for the ceremony was still in order.

The guests had mostly arrived.

In the hall, the seats had names attached to them; this was a matter of status, not just anyone could sit anywhere they wished.

The higher the status and identity, the more qualified one was to sit in the front row.

Ye Mengzhu had wanted to take Xiao Chen to the first row, but Xiao Chen insisted on sitting in the back.

The very last row offered a better vantage point to observe the faces of everyone present.

Ye Mengzhu didn’t want to sit in the front either.

She just wanted to sit together with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen didn’t care much, sitting in the back chatting with Ye Mengzhu while waiting for the ceremony to start.

Today’s “program” would be very exciting; he was going to watch it closely.

The stars were rehearsing backstage; the first item on the agenda was the performance.

However, the heavyweight guests had not yet arrived; they were the showstoppers and needed to make a solemn entry.

Five minutes before the start of the ceremony, Zhou Wu stood on the high platform of the hall, formally announcing the entry of one heavyweight after another.

The top brass from Blue Sea and heads of various departments had basically all arrived.

Each time a name was called, there was an outcry from the audience.

Duan Long couldn’t help but lament, “Apart from your Zhou Family, I’m afraid no one else can do this.

Our Duan Family claims to be first-class, but really, there’s no comparison.”

Zhou Mei smiled with pride on her face.

She stood up and looked toward Xiao Chen and Ye Mengzhu in the last row, expecting to see Xiao Chen’s shocked expression.

Little did she expect, he was bowing his head, playing mobile games at that moment.

In such a gathering, with so many important people, so many big stars, he was actually playing games, it was simply incomprehensible.

“Miss Zhou, don’t bother with that kind of person.

He’s just a smooth talker,”

Fang Han said with a laugh beside her: “With what he’s capable of, trying to topple the Zhou Family is simply a dream!”

That was his honest opinion.

The strength of the Zhou Family was something they couldn’t understand.

A first-class family in front of an aristocratic clan was almost like an ant.

And this was just a collateral branch of the Zhou Family.

Not the main family.

“That guy has definitely lost the bet today.

He won’t even touch a hair of the Zhou Family, yet he expects the King of Reincarnation to hand over the items to him?

Ridiculous!”

…

The big shots from Blue Sea and others all took seats in the front row.

But, they didn’t dare to take the central seat; it was reserved for today’s most distinguished guest.

They all knew who it was.

One of the ten War Kings of Dragon Country, the King of Reincarnation from King Yama Palace!

A general of Dragon Country!

One minute before the opening.

Zhou Wu received a phone call and became excited, “I have good news for everyone!

One of the ten War Kings of Dragon Country, a brave and skilled general under the War God, the King of Reincarnation has arrived!

Please welcome him with the warmest applause!”

The applause thundered, and everyone stood up, except for Xiao Chen.

They all looked towards the entrance, each person craning their necks to catch a glimpse of what the legendary War King looked like.

Even the stars who were rehearsing behind the scenes peered through the curtain.

For the people of Dragon Country, the War God was a myth.

They couldn’t meet the War God, but to see a War King from under the War God’s command was an extremely honorable affair.

Finally, the King of Reincarnation walked in, accompanied by Zhou Canghai.

Some people even fainted on the spot, a swoon of bliss.

Such esteemed figures, being in such close proximity, many people’s hearts simply can’t withstand it.

“Is that person very impressive?”

Zhou Mu’er stood up to take a look and then sat back down to ask.

“If you don’t know, don’t speak recklessly.

That is none other than the esteemed King of Reincarnation, a subordinate of the War God.

Despite his young age, being under forty years old, he has nevertheless distinguished himself with extraordinary military achievements.

Whoever disrespects the War King, I won’t let them off easily!”

A wealthy merchant turned around and said fiercely.

Zhou Mu’er stuck out her tongue and dared not to speak.

She wasn’t really scared, though.

The King of Reincarnation, dressed in simple clothing, still exuded an extraordinary and impressive air.

It’s interesting to mention, each of the ten War Kings is older than the War God, Xiao Chen.

The youngest among them, the King of Reincarnation, is five years older than Xiao Chen.

The eldest is already in his forties.

Yet, they all absolutely submit and obey Xiao Chen.

Because they were all brought up by Xiao Chen!

The King of Reincarnation walked towards the high platform with a smile, first scanning the audience before his gaze finally landed on Xiao Chen, causing him to frown slightly.

Then, very quickly, he hid his dissatisfaction.

His superior, his teacher, his comrade-in-arms, was seated in a corner–that made him displeased.

The Zhou and Duan families were both very excited.

Watching the King of Reincarnation stand there was like having a deity overseeing the proceedings for them.

This might be their most glorious moment.

“Your Excellency, King of Reincarnation, please take your seat.

The talent show starts now; please enjoy.”

Zhou Canghai said with a smile.

In front of the King of Reincarnation, he behaved with extreme restraint.

After all, even the Family Head of their own clan had to bow down before this King of Reincarnation, much less him.

“No need, you know, my work keeps me quite busy.

It is quite rare that I can make it here at all, so let’s save the program for later,” the King of Reincarnation said indifferently.

“Of course!

Whatever you say goes,” Zhou Canghai dared not utter a word of disagreement, for the King of Reincarnation’s words were as good as a royal decree to him.

“But we must at least present you with a memento, mustn’t we?” Zhou Canghai asked earnestly, looking at the King of Reincarnation.

“Very well.”

The King of Reincarnation nodded in acceptance but did not take his place at that seat because today, someone more qualified than him was present.

“Chen Guang, bring up the gift, no, the memento!” Zhou Wu called out to Chen Guang, who had been standing below the platform the whole time.

“Yes!”

Chen Guang’s whole body trembled with excitement; after all, the King of Reincarnation was one of the ten great War Kings of Dragon Country.

Getting close to the War King was the greatest fortune of his life.

“Feifei, you used to fancy that Xiao Chen, but look at how promising Chen Guang is!”

Chen Guang’s mother laughed, “That Xiao Chen, I heard, became a live-in son-in-law.

How can he even be compared to our family’s Chen Guang?”

“That’s right, before your marriage you used to be downhearted, but now you should be happy.

Look at Chen Guang, getting so close to the War King; it is an honor for our Chen family too!”

Chen Guang’s father also said excitedly, “That Xiao Chen is a waste compared to him!”

Yang Feifei felt a mix of emotions in her heart but couldn’t quite identify the flavor.

Her marriage to Chen Guang was borne out of desperation.

Chen Guang, who worked for the Zhou family, used their influence to threaten her.

For the safety of her parents, she was forced to seek help with no other alternatives.

Yet in her heart, she still thought of Xiao Chen.

But today, she began to question the value of those pure thoughts.

There was no doubt, before Chen Guang, Xiao Chen had simply become an insignificant figure.
