The two sentences were exchanged in an instant.
The father and son understood a lot of things at the same time. Li Feng finally understood why the man called Cillin Tiger would insist on keeping a distance from the outside world, especially in front of Fei Cheng. Lee Zaidao, on the other hand, quickly grasped the source of Li Feng's anger. He was shocked to find out that Li Feng had such a deep relationship with the man who died on the Ancient Bell.
Li Feng didn't ask his father what the big explosion of the Ancient Bell had to do with him because he knew it was useless. He just looked at him with extremely complicated emotions.
Lee Jae-do didn't explain anything and just looked at Li Feng calmly. His thin and strong fingers subconsciously knocked on the smooth surface of the desk.
Li Feng took a deep breath. His burly body was full of masculinity. He frowned and stared, and said in a voice like steel grinding, "I left Philadelphia for the West Woods when I was 12 years old. When I was growing up, there was a strong man in front of me. I learned from him and tried to catch up and even surpass him. I never thought that such a strong man would die because of such a disgusting conspiracy, so I was very angry. "
Lee Jae-do looked at his son silently and slightly raised his eyebrows to catch his real emotions. He said leisurely, "I'm your father."
"Now I want him to be my father." Li Feng's eyes seemed to be burning. He stared at his father behind the desk with extremely complicated feelings.
Lee Jae-do slowly closed his hands and looked at the wrinkles between his fingers with his head slightly tilted. He seemed to be digesting the heavy psychological blow given to him by his most proud son.
After a while, he looked up and stopped the argument about the Ancient Bell and the tiger with great wisdom and decisiveness. He said indifferently without any expression on his face, "You should have seen the order signed by Mr. President and me. Then get ready to fight."
"Fight?"
Li Feng's voice became sharp, and the violent masculinity unique to young men suddenly turned into deep mockery and sorrow.
He looked at his father behind the table and said with a hoarse voice, "For the sake of forcing the warship to land on Mo Hua Planet, many of the reinforcements on the ground died. In the end, I received the order to turn back immediately … I should be on that planet right now, fighting to the death with that empire's princess, but you want me to return to this disgusting land to fight Xu Le?"
"This is not my battlefield, and this is not my battle." Li Feng slowly put on his military cap, and he prepared to leave this room that made it difficult for him to breathe.
"I'm not asking you as a father." General Lee Jae-do looked at his son's silhouette expressionlessly. His voice was emotionless. "I am ordering you as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Federation and as the Commander of the First Military Region."
He stood up from behind the table, his entire person calm and sharp like an icicle that had been dormant for many years. "Colonel Li Feng, remember your identity. You are a soldier!"
Li Feng's tall and sturdy body suddenly tensed up. His youthful face, which was full of violent emotions, suddenly twitched. At this moment, he mobilized the terrifying power in his body to control his emotions. However, a moment later, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he began to laugh in a somewhat neurotic manner.
He turned around to look at his father, and with an innocent and strange smile, he said, "I agree."
Looking at the broken office door, staring at the ground after Li Feng left, Lee Jae-do's expression was calm, and he did not let his subordinates see any problems. However, in his heart, he was already extremely vigilant, and there was even a faint sense of regret.
He was vigilant that the West Woods tiger had such a great influence on Li Feng outside of Philadelphia's notice. Although the tiger was dead, this influence had continued to this day, so he had to admit that he might have made a very unforgivable mistake by transferring his son back from the front line to deal with Xu Le.
In addition to these emotions, Lee Jae-do's heart also had a very faint sense of sadness. The so-called middle age was the beginning of old age. Li Feng's words about his father had successfully stabbed him after all. But it didn't matter. After he picked up the phone and ordered the reduction of Colonel Li Feng's command authority, he thought silently, It really didn't matter. One day, you will know that I am right. Everyone will have to admit that they are right, and that day will come soon.

The building complex on the west side of Rabi Avenue was heavily guarded. Today, there were no big shots coming to visit, and there were no important cases to be heard. The agents with serious expressions walking through the stone Charter Ceremony and the statue of the balance were carrying out a routine security check, but today's check was particularly strict.
Then, a group of field troops in armored military vehicles came to the Judge's Court for the second round of security check. These elite soldiers under the Iron Seventh Division expressionlessly asked the agents of the Federation Investigation Bureau, who had just finished their work, to leave the relevant area. As for the bailiffs who were originally in charge of the security work, they had long disappeared.
The Iron Seventh Division sent a reinforced company. More than a hundred elite soldiers were divided into three groups. They carefully and fastidiously checked the security facilities everywhere, including the underground passage under the court.
The soldiers checked the dark and wet walls of the passage almost centimeter by centimeter, especially the valves that led to the ground. When they confirmed that there were no traces of intrusion, they put up a seal made of polymer material and responsibly signed their names.
More than a dozen soldiers in the courtroom were carefully probing every corner with a battlefield life detection device. The red carpeted passage had been probed countless times during the inspection process. As for the possible hiding places, they had even used engineering nails to create a strong physical blockade.
Around the courtyard outside the building, the reinforced soldiers of the Iron Seven Division had set up four barricades that extended for nearly three hundred meters. Between the lush trees further away, the infrared sensors had also started working. When a leaf was blown off by the autumn wind, there would be a beeping sound to eliminate the abnormality.
At this point, the military court had been completely inspected. The soldiers of the Iron Seventh Division had confirmed that the inside was clean. If someone tried to break in from the outside on the day of the trial, they would have to face the most efficient firepower barricade of the Federal forces.
The tall floor-to-ceiling windows welcomed the light of the clear autumn day. The mottled light scattered on the red carpet, making the passage from the courtroom to the door look like an abstract painting full of strange lines and blocks of color.
The soldiers of the Iron Seventh Division who were on high alert both inside and outside the building naturally did not know that under the passage that had just been scanned countless times, there was a person whose breathing had become extremely slow. His skin temperature had even dropped by a lot, making him look like a strange stone.

No matter how great a war was, it was impossible to determine victory or defeat through a single battle. It was always pacing back and forth between attack and retreat, not to mention the war between the Federation government and the Seven Great Families that had been going on for tens of thousands of years, and perhaps would go on forever.
The great strike that had shaken countless galaxies had ended. The anger of hundreds of millions of people forced the Parliament Hill, which was secretly controlled by the Seven Great Families, to concede to the President and the government and pass several very important bills. However, the Federation government and the President himself knew very well that the Seven Great Families with astonishing hidden influence would absolutely not be willing to accept defeat. They had already mentally and materially prepared for the other side's crazy counterattack.
However, to the Federation government's surprise, after the great strike, the Seven Great Families maintained a strange silence. The Zhong Family of the West Woods that had fallen into discord was temporarily out of the picture. In the past few days, other than the Nan Xiang family announcing that they had taken over the protection of the Zhong Family's little princess, nothing else important had happened.
This silence was very strange and very dangerous. The Seven Great Families seemed to be waiting for something to happen, waiting for some kind of opportunity to strike and kill.
The government easily linked the silence of the Seven Great Families to the disappearance of Xu Le. An uneasy sense of urgency reverberated through various agencies and departments. The Federation Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Proclamation, and the related strategic research laboratories all began to operate at high speed. They had to calculate what the Seven Great Families were waiting for, or to put it more directly — where was Colonel Xu Le's target?
Early in the morning, there was a drizzle of autumn rain, making the entire capital city cold and wet. Then there was a sudden gust of wind, blowing the light yellow leaves into the puddles of puddles on the streets, struggling to stay afloat.
President Pabre stood on the balcony of his official residence with a deep frown. Cui Judong stood on the balcony of the Bureau of Proclamation with a numb expression. Lee Jae-do stood on the balcony with a calm expression. Like the elders of the Seven Great Families hiding behind the wind and rain, they looked at the autumn wind and rain in silence.
On the lakeside balcony at the back of Mochou Mountain, Lady Tai, wearing a light velvet windbreaker, silently looked at the dense rain circles on the lake and said softly, "Call our old friends again. It should be more peaceful these days. That young man clearly doesn't want us to be too deeply involved."
Shen Li stood behind Lady Tai and said with a frown, "According to your suggestion, Mr. Zion is already sick. But the information provided by the Foundation includes 15 valid targets, including the President's official residence. I can't judge which one Colonel Xu Le will choose. "
"No need to guess," Lady Tai said, "This is his battle, not ours."
The big shots stood on the balcony and looked at the autumn wind and rain, but they didn't know where the violent wind and rain would fall in the next moment.
…
…
The number two figure of Green Dragon Mountain, Jin Qiaode, was going to visit the special capital district tomorrow. At such a sensitive time, this most important leader of the anti-government army after the leader of Nanshui still received a warm welcome from the Federation government. The planned welcome ceremony was extremely grand.
The Federation's Vice President Byron had died under the gun of Shi Qinghai. According to the principle of political equality, the one who was supposed to greet Mr. Jin Qiaode at the spaceport should have been Vice President Zion of the Federation parliament. However, Vice President Zion proposed to the official residence that he couldn't attend because of his poor health.
Half an hour later, Vice President Zion suddenly said that he would attend the welcome ceremony at the spaceport.
After receiving this somewhat strange news, President Pabre left the balcony with a calm expression. General Lee Jae-do stood on the balcony and took a phone call with a smile.
In the building painted with the small eye pattern, there was an excited shout. "Target confirmed, Xu Le will appear at the spaceport!"
