The Unknown God of War

Chapter 23

“Father, I still have some matters to attend to. I’ll be hanging up, once I have some time I’ll visit you and mother.”

“Hey, listen here brat—”

What Zhou Lie got as a reply instead was the ‘du du du’ sound of the call being hung up.

Chu Feng hung up the phone, then stared at all the food laid out on the table, and suddenly lost his appetite.

“Feng…” Luo Gang saw that Chu Feng was not in a good mood, so he hesitated but spoke respectfully, “Actually... actually Lord Chu was one of the country’s pillars, as well as a national hero. Why would you have such an opinion of him?”

The Chu family’s exceeding loyalty was enough to shake even the Heavens.

Lord Chu, he could command the vast military, and he wielded absolute authority.

Twenty years ago, Lord Chu led an army with a resolution to not return alive. He took with him eight hundred thousand Tiger Division Soldiers who were divided into four battalions. The demeanor in which the troops that fought in that war across sixteen nations was still remembered today. It was during this war that the prestige of Donghua was spread all over the world, as their forces managed to repel the invasion of some notorious barbarians at the border, which earned the nation twenty years of peace.

Whenever this tale was brought up, it would definitely stir the blood of all Donghua citizens; from an 80-

year-old man to a toddler just learning how to walk, there were no people who were not grateful for the achievements of Lord Chu, or looked up to his great talents. In other words, Lord Chu was the pillar of invigoration of many Donghua citizens, as well as the guardian deity of their land!

“I’ve never denied that he was a hero,” Chu Feng said as he paid for their breakfast. He steadily stood up and continued bluntly, “However, I do not recognize him as a man.” He does not deserve the title of being a father. These words were muttered deep inside Chu Feng’s heart, as he turned to leave the breakfast shop.

Luo Gang stared at Chu Feng’s back as he was walking away, looking perplexed as he sighed deeply. “They are father and son after all, must it be this way?”

On his way to meet his daughter Duo Duo, Chu Feng discarded the messy thoughts he had and realigned his mood, but when he arrived at Yun Muqing’s neighborhood, he was informed that both mother and daughter left about half an hour ago for Duo Duo to go to her kindergarten classes.

Chu Feng glanced at his watch, which showed the time to be 6.40 a.m. He couldn’t help but frown and muttered, “That’s rather early. Does that not mean that she had to get up at 6 a.m. to wash up, get prepared and have breakfast? Six in the morning would still be dawn. Duo Duo is still a growing child and it would be barely enough time for her to rest by having to wake up so early. The folks at the Ministry of Education, are they out of their minds?”

Their children would probably have their own private teachers and own specialized schools, everything would have been comfortable for their kids; his own daughter, on the other hand, had to rush every day to take the bus or the subway, such injustice!

Chu Feng was already in a bad mood, but now that he was reminded that his daughter was being

treated unfairly by having to be woken up so early in the morning for school, with an unpleasant tone, he commanded Luo Gang, “In my name, send a letter to the Ministry of Education asking them to delay the school starting hour by an hour. This will be applied to the entire nation. Whoever that failed to make this happen would have to leave their positions and give room to more capable men.”

Luo Gang replied resignedly, “Yes.”

No one would have imagined that a simple sentence from Chu Feng, have made the originally laid- back Ministry of Education to tense up as though they have been confronted by a formidable enemy, which caused them to be in a constant state of panic and anxiety.

The situation eventually led to the rise of campaigns to call for the ‘Student Stress Reduction for Education’ and an ‘Education Reformation’, which became the constant talk of the country. The Ministry of Education had even resorted to resolutely cut down nearly a quarter of rules and regulation in the education system, whereas those who have occupied their respective positions with the help of connections or money, and those that did not get their jobs properly done were all been dismissed from their positions, bring joy and satisfaction to the peoples’ hearts. Everyone praised the Ministry of Education for finally having done some practical things that would make life better and easier for the people.

However, only Luo Gang knew that the reason behind all these was simply because of Chu Feng, the God of War with boundless power and influence, who simply wanted his daughter to get up later in the morning.

It was just as simple as that.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
