"Where did you go yesterday, young man?" Lait Smith stepped forward and patted Richard Smith on the shoulder. If he could grow up quickly, then integrating the Smith family, it wouldn't be impossible for the Smith family to become the largest family in the federation! So even though Richard Smith is not Lait Smith's legitimate grandson, he still loves him very much.
Gavin has always looked down on Lait, and the two have had a difference since childhood. Their political views are different now, with one being a hawk and the other a dove. Gavin walked to the middle of Lait and Richard, Richard being his true grandson, and warned the obviously hawkish grandson, saying, "No matter how proud you are right now, remember that the federation needs a leader who considers the people, so stay away from him in the future."
Watching Gavin Smith's slightly stooped back, Lait shook his head slightly. He felt relieved to see the great figures of the federation value him, while he remained unperturbed. If it weren't for Richard Smith being too young, he would want to have Richard help in the public chamber.
With many important figures and the gazes of those socialites fixed on him, Richard Smith was truly basking in the limelight. Margaret Green looked at Richard Smith with an ambiguous look, full of spring water that seemed to want to melt into ice.
As Margaret Green stood there, her mature and enchanting appearance made all the women around her pale in comparison. Richard Smith couldn't help but gaze at her with admiration, but quickly regained his composure. He approached her with a gentlemanly manner, taking her hand and bowing slightly, and asked, "Madam, you are truly beautiful. May I have the honor of dancing with you later?"
"Of course!" Margaret Green's heart was pounding, and her mind went blank. She didn't even hear the exclamations of the women around her. She had almost all her attention focused on him.
Suddenly, without warning, Richard Smith fell to the ground. A bloodline spurted from his chest, splattering Margaret Green and staining her expensive dress with blood. The people surrounding Richard were momentarily stunned and it took them a long time to react. The women screamed and scattered, and Richard Smith was completely hidden by the chaotic crowd.
Margaret Green looked at Richard Smith, who had fallen in front of her, and suddenly screamed as she tried to help him. But she was roughly pushed away by Lait Smith. Richard Smith was the pillar of the Smith family, and Lait angrily shouted at Mark Smith, who was standing there dumbfounded, "What are you standing there for? Go and call a doctor!"
There were top doctors in the War God Mountain. Lait Smith picked up the bleeding Richard Smith and ran towards the military camp. He was burning with rage and continuously shouted at the crowd, "If he dies, I will make you all pay!"
"What happened to him? Did you see it clearly just now?"
"It seems like he was shot."
"No way! He's a three-star general. With his strong mental power, couldn't he have foreseen it?"
"Yeah! It's so strange. How could this three-star general be shot by a bullet and almost lose his life?" If these people knew that Barrett Walker had fired the gun on War God Mountain, at least five hundred meters away, and had only used an old antique, they would only think that the bullet was shot from the military camp. Perhaps it was another three-star general who had the ability to injure him.
As they watched Richard being carried into the medical room, the people began to stir. Some of the women were secretly pleased to see Margaret Green covered in blood. This gunshot had cast a bloody shadow over the birthday celebration of the War God, and even Barrett Walker himself didn't know how much shock this shot would bring to the federation.

Barrett Walker put away the gun, skillfully disassembled it, and cleaned it thoroughly. If it were a better gun, it probably could have directly killed him! After cleaning the old antique gun, Barrett Walker quickly reassembled it, climbed to the mountaintop, placed the gun, and then quickly returned to his bedroom.
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from the mountain below. Barrett Walker opened the door and stepped out. The hall was still empty, and Morton Walker sat in the hall and watched Barrett come out. He made a soft sound and got up, walking outside. Barrett followed him and took the cable car down the mountain.
At this time, Richard Smith was undergoing emergency surgery, and the scene of his being shot had been sealed off. After such a big incident, none of the important figures dared to move around casually for fear of disturbing the scene. Wayne Smith was a detective by profession, and he was also the head of the highest police department. After such a big incident, he didn't dare to mobilize too many police officers and could only call for help from the people in the Hero City who were still idle.
Claudia White had never been so heartbroken. When the virus attacked Hero City, she was originally a police officer who wanted to stop the spread of the virus, but she was forcibly evacuated. During the evacuation, she looked at the hellish Hero City and her faith collapsed. But what she didn't expect was that after leaving the city, she found that the entire Hero City had been sealed off and no one was allowed to leave. Afterwards, she checked the map and found that all the information about Hero City had become a mystery, and she couldn't find any news about Hero City. Hero City had almost become a distant history.
Sitting in the police car, Hogan Ferren softly said, "Sis! Are you still thinking about that? The files have already been issued. Don't think about it. It's a done deal! As long as we survive, it's all good."
"I'm fine!" Looking at Hogan Ferren's appearance, if Claudia White didn't know what kind of person he was, she might have mistaken him for a kind-hearted person. On the surface, he seemed cynical, but his actions were chilling. He had left his girlfriend in Hero City and now looked perfectly calm. Claudia White didn't want to talk to him much. After saying a few words, she looked out the window and watched the various trees flying past on both sides. She had tried to avoid going to War God Mountain, but it seemed she couldn't escape it after all.
Looking at these people, who were usually only seen in the news, but were now all subdued and lacked their usual vigor and arrogance, Claudia White felt disdain for them. After getting off the car, she immediately sealed off the scene. Seeing the soldiers scattered around, Claudia White's heart trembled. Had something big happened again?
At this time, Director personally led the team, and Tager, as the ace of the police world, naturally couldn't be absent. After inspecting the scene, the two of them, despite the crowd's destruction of the information, were still able to piece together quite a bit, showing their wealth of experience.
"What exactly happened?" Morton Walker, as the host, had to take care of his face in front of so many people, even though Laura Walker was used to being arrogant. Looking at the large group of people crowding around, despite his fiery temper, Tager was extremely nervous. These were all important figures! Winters nudged Tager, and Tager nodded in understanding. It was better for him to handle the situation.
"Based on my understanding, the victim Richard Smith, a three-star general, would undoubtedly have been severely injured by the gun that was used. However, it is almost impossible that he was shot three times in the chest at close range, yet it happened right in front of you all," Teg said these astonishing words, even he himself was uncertain of his decades of experience. However, it did happen, and yet it did not shake his expertise.
"Most incredible and peculiar is that only one bullet was found at the scene. Take a look, everyone!" Teg then revealed the bullet in the evidence bag.
In the transparent evidence bag, a plain, ordinary, orange bullet caused an immediate uproar among the crowd. This bullet, not to mention hitting a three-star general, couldn't even kill a colonel! Then it happened - the bloodstains on it made everyone feel dizzy and disoriented. Is this really true?
"Hehe! Isn't it strange? I am also surprised! However, the most incredible part is yet to come. This bullet did not come from the military camp, but from this mountain," Teg said, pointing to the steep Mount War God.
"How is that possible?"
"This is absolutely impossible, you must be mistaken."
No one doubted the War God, of course it couldn't have been the War God. Everyone just felt absurd. How far is Mount War God from here? A regular gun, a regular bullet, causing such an astonishing event, it's as unbelievable as saying the sun collided with the moon!
"There is a possibility. Have you all forgotten?" Someone cautiously spoke, immediately catching everyone's attention.
