Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 335 Special Contribution

BANG! Just as Qian Zhou was trying to stand up, his left knee slammed hard onto the ground with a loud thud.

Now, Qian Zhou was kneeling before Lin Kuang. A deep sense of humiliation washed over him. In front of Lin Kuang, he was powerless to resist. It was a truly pathetic situation.

Lin Kuang withdrew his foot, looking at Qian Zhou with a calm expression.

"Your name sounds like you're asking for a beating, so I gave you one. Next time you try to teach someone a lesson, you'd better check who they are first!"

As he spoke, Lin Kuang bent over slightly, and a military medal gleaming with golden light appeared before Qian Zhou's eyes.

"Colonel, now, tell me, what is this?!" Lin Kuang said, his tone icy.

Hearing this, Qian Zhou raised his head to look at the medal. Upon seeing it, his face turned deathly pale, his pupils widening in shock and disbelief.

"The... the Special Contribution Badge... the only one in the country. A warrior who holds this badge only takes orders from the Army General or officers of higher rank."

Qian Zhou swallowed hard as he recounted the origin of the medal. At the same time, an image of the nation's most mysterious special forces unit, the Wild Wolves, surfaced in his mind! He knew that only one person possessed such a badge: Lin Kuang, the former King of the Wild Wolves! Which meant he had just tried to discipline the former King of the Wild Wolves.

Realizing this, Qian Zhou's face turned ashen. He had enough self-awareness to know that Lin Kuang was far beyond his league; he didn't even have the qualifications to join that special forces unit.

It wasn't just Qian Zhou who was stunned; Li Rongzu and the soldiers behind him were equally dumbfounded. This badge was considered the highest honor a soldier could receive. It was something every soldier dreamed of obtaining. Now that it had appeared on Lin Kuang, how could they not be shocked and envious?

Li Rongzu's expression, in particular, turned extremely foul. He had completely forgotten that Lin Kuang possessed this badge. It was only when Lin Kuang presented it that he remembered. Moreover, by brandishing this badge, Lin Kuang had effectively slapped him hard across the face! The holder of this badge, Lin Kuang, indeed did not need to salute him. On the contrary, he was required to salute Lin Kuang, the holder of the badge!

"So, Major General Li Rongzu, please salute me," Lin Kuang said as he stood up, holding the badge in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Rongzu's face turned exceedingly ugly, bordering on ferocious. Just a moment ago, he had tried to use his rank to pressure Lin Kuang into saluting him, but Lin Kuang had refused. Now, Lin Kuang was holding this badge and demanding a salute in return. The reversal twisted Li Rongzu's emotions into a knot. He wanted to storm out in a huff, but that was difficult with Liang Kai blocking the door.

"Salute the strongest warrior!" Zhang Guodong suddenly boomed.

With that, he and Liang Kai both snapped to attention and saluted Lin Kuang. Lin Kuang returned the salute, and the three men exchanged smiles. Zhang Guodong's action was completely deliberate. He and Li Rongzu were of equal rank. Now that he had saluted, it would be a major issue if Li Rongzu refused to do the same. As for Liang Kai, he never expected such a dramatic twist of events.

Seeing this, Li Rongzu's face grew even uglier. He wasn't an idiot. Even a fool could see that Zhang Guodong had done it on purpose, so how could Li Rongzu not know?

Looking at Lin Kuang, Li Rongzu's eyes filled with internal struggle. However, faced with Lin Kuang's calm gaze, Li Rongzu finally gritted his teeth. "To the strongest warrior, salute!"

As he spoke, Li Rongzu saluted Lin Kuang. The men behind him immediately followed suit. Their commanding officer had saluted; they wouldn't dare do otherwise.

At this, Lin Kuang let out a cold snicker, completely ignoring Li Rongzu as he put the special badge away.

Li Rongzu clenched his jaw, turned on his heel, and left in a fury with his men. As he left, he shoved Liang Kai hard. However, Liang Kai was also displeased and intentionally braced himself. Not only did Li Rongzu's shove fail to move him, but the recoil sent him stumbling, and he almost toppled over. At this, Li Rongzu was fuming, looking as if smoke was about to pour from his nose and ears.

Watching Li Rongzu and his five men leave, Zhang Guodong couldn't help but roar with laughter.

"Hahaha! Excellent, Lin Kuang, nicely done! That son of a bitch got exactly what he deserved! Well done!" Zhang Guodong bellowed, feeling an incredible sense of relief. It was absolutely satisfying.

Hearing this, Lin Kuang gave a bitter smile. If Li Rongzu hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't have wanted to reveal the badge. Li Rongzu had simply gone too far. Besides, the Lin and Li Families were historical rivals, which was another reason Lin Kuang had acted as he did.

"Uncle Zhang, what exactly happened? When I arrived, I heard you all arguing loudly in your office," Lin Kuang couldn't help but ask.

At his words, Zhang Guodong's expression immediately darkened.

"Don't even get me started," he said, his voice laced with anger. "Those turtle-sired bastards actually want to sideline me. They want to put me under surveillance and forbid me from interfering in their business, claiming it's the 'privilege of their special operations squad.' Privilege my ass! Who the hell do they think they are? Has Li Rongzu ever even seen a real battle?! I don't think they're here to investigate my attempted assassination at all. They're here to strip me of my power!"

Despite his crude language, Zhang Guodong was no fool. Li Rongzu showing up and immediately trying to strip him of his authority... if that wasn't an attempt to render him a powerless figurehead, what was?

Hearing Zhang Guodong's words, Lin Kuang's expression flickered. This was the exact situation he had hoped to avoid, yet here it was, happening anyway. He was well aware that as a member of the Li Family, Li Rongzu would inevitably try to cause trouble for Zhang Guodong now that he had joined the Lin Family's side. He just hadn't expected Li Rongzu to move so quickly, or perhaps, so impatiently.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry," Lin Kuang said, looking at Zhang Guodong apologetically.

If Zhang Guodong hadn't joined the Lin Family, Li Rongzu would have arrived trying to win him over with all sorts of offers. Instead, they were at each other's throats, with Li Rongzu actively scheming to sideline him. It made Lin Kuang feel a pang of guilt toward the older man.

"Don't worry about it. In truth, joining the Lin Family is something I've wanted for a long time," Zhang Guodong said with a smile. "When Old Yang came and proposed it last time, I agreed immediately. So, you have nothing to feel sorry for."

Lin Kuang nodded. He didn't say anything more, but his already high opinion of Zhang Guodong rose even further.
