A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2013

Clenching her fists, Zhang Xiaoyu growled indignantly, “It can't be! He's only an Average Joe from China without a prominent background and qualifications. How could he deserve the President of India to hold a formal banquet for him? That's impossible!”

She was still keeping her fingers crossed at the moment, hoping that Ye Fan had actually made a mistake and emerged uninvited.

Other than her, there was also sheer disbelief in the eyes of the three princes.

“It must be a mistake!”

“Something must have gone wrong!”

“Anyway, that brat is too young. He's only a typical naive punk.”

“How could he be the guest of honor for this banquet today?”

Flustered, Prince Duo Li and the other two princes glowered at Ye Fan menacingly.

Never had they expected a mind-numbing event would come hard on the heels of that, shattering their hope.

The moment Ye Fan came into sight, King Folo, the President of India,and the otherssitting highgot to their feet to welcome him. The President of India greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Chu, please be seated.”

“Mr. Chu, please be seated!” King Folo and the others greeted Ye Fan in unison as well.

Even the leader of a nation was in reverence of the latter.

In a split second, Zhang Xiaoyu, Prince Duo Li, and the other two princes were dumbstruck. Their eyes widened in disbelief; their minds went blank completely.

My goodness! Who had we provoked just now? At the thought, Prince Duo Li was scared to death. His legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground.

Stood rooted to the ground, his elder brother could not utter any words.

Prince Savanth's fists were clenched so hard that they began to bleed as he scowled at Ye Fan with fiery

eyes. It was as though there were burning flames in them.

Why is that so? Why is he the one? Both of us are around the same age. Why could he be seated with the elders in the royal families and greeted respectfully by them? On the other hand, I can only sit in the corner and watch enviously. Why is he deserving of all these?

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoyu's face turned ashen. She looked ahead blankly, gawking at Ye Fan's slender figure as if she had lost herself. Not only that, she suddenly felt a rush of inexplicit bitterness surging from within her.

Only then did Zhang Xiaoyu realize that her grandpa did not lie to her. It's true. Whatever Grandpa mentioned in the letter is true. If I can marry this man, it will be as easy as snapping a finger for me to lead a comfortable life.

Ye Fan was oblivious to Zhang Xiaoyu and the others' reactions. After all, they were merely small fries to him.

Ye Fan was unfazed by most people and things at his current level. It was as though an elephant was unperturbed by any crickets and ants.

Noa was the only one Ye Fan cared about in the spacious hall at the moment.

The young lady was self-aware that she was only a lowly nobody alongside Ye Fan. Hence, she moved away from the latter instinctively when the influential figures of India greeted him with reverence.

Standing aside obediently, she looked up at the man basking in the limelight silently like the other guests.

Ye Fan caught a glimpse of Noa moving away from him. He turned and chuckled before teasing her, “Hey! Noa, how could you leave me alone after bringing me here?”

Noa was stunned.

Right that instant, everyone's eyes were on Ye Fan. When those words escaped his mouth, it indirectly caused everyone to lock their gazes on Noa.

“Ye Fan, go up by yourself then. They are all big shots, and there's not even a place for me. Thus, it's good enough for a lowly junior like me to be seated down here,” Noa whispered to him.

The latter was over the moon. He assigned his men to bring Ye Fan the respective gold seal and costume for the title at once.

At the same time, he announced to grant Chu Tianfan the title—King Narendra.

Apart from that, he would be bestowed with ten thousand hectares of land, the right to collect taxes from the people, and the hereditary right of the dukedom.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

King Narendra? Ten thousand hectares of land? The right to collect taxes? Good gracious! How could he deserve such privilege? That's indeed outrageously absurd!

In actuality, the dukedom was more like a title of honor recently. Others usually received it in the name only without obtaining any benefits.

It never occurred to them that Ye Fan would be given lands and the right to collect taxes from the people. In other words, he even had the authority to build a kingdom.

Many could not help but feel Ye Fan had taken advantage of a great deal.

Even so, the President of India did not share the same sentiments with them. King Folo and the others felt that it was beneficial for the nation too.

Furthermore, King Folo had tried to convince the President of India before. “Chu Tianfan is undoubtedly an invincible warrior! He's able to destroy all the countries effortlessly by himself! If he's with us, I'm convinced nobody will be a match for our martial arts world for at least half a millennium. War God Castle is currently in a precarious state and might be eradicated at any moment because they are unaware of it. Hence, we must be enlightened by that and talk Ye Fan into taking ourside! Even if we can't be friends, we shouldn't take the risk of being his foe!”

When the banquet was about to end, the President of India led all the members of the royal families to toast Ye fan. “Mr. Chu, I know that you're leaving soon. Thus, I hold this state banquet as a token of farewell for you! Everyone, raise your wine glasses. I'd like to propose to toast to Mr. and Mrs. Chu for their safe journey ahead!”

There was somehow a hidden meaning in his words. He was seemingly hinting Ye Fan to leave at once after the banquet.

Undeniably, they were in awe of Ye Fan's ability to keep situations under control with his formidability during the war.

Now that there was peace in India, he became a time bomb instead. Therefore, King Polo and the others could barely wait for him to leave their country.
