Chapter 1146 Undeserving
"You tter me. I''m just an ordinary man. I hardly deserve such praise, much less this title," said Ye Fan
mildly and expressionlessly and, with a hint of frostiness in his tone.
"Heavens, Mr Chu, please be mindful of what you say. Don''t you have any idea who you''re speaking to
right now?"
Li Er and the others nearly peed themselves when they heard the hint of disrespect in Ye Fan''s words.
What was wrong with Mr Chu?
Did he truly not know who Li Hong-Ze was?
Had he gone out of his mind?
Had he no regard for the second most powerful man in China at all?
Li Er and the others nearly died from fright. The Mr Chu before them was bing more of a mystery
by the moment.
Any ordinary man who had been conferred a title by the country through a great man like Li Hong-Ze,
would have been ovee with gratitude and excitement. He would have been beside himself.
But not Ye Fan.
In fact, he seemed extraordinarily calm.
It was unbelievable.
Li Er and the others wouldn''t know that what others saw as utmost prestige and honor was something
that Ye Fan could do without and cared nothing for.
A truly powerful martial artist didn''t care for titles and des.
His strength spoke for itself.
Even if China had not conferred the title upon him, he still possessed the undeniable power and
strength of a supreme grandmaster.
The title was of no use to Ye Fan at all.
The only advantages it conferred were upon the nation.
In fact, the country was requesting Ye Fan to ept the title.
That exined why Li Hong-Ze did not seem angry but instead appeared slightly anxious when he
heard how calm Ye Fan was. He was wondering if he hadmitted any slight against the young man
and angered him.
The international political situation was unstable and everchanging. China''s road to resuming its former
glory was filled with obstacles and dangers. With the United States at their helm, the western countries
kept a close eye on China while trying to contain thetter''s development.
China desperately needed powerful men like Ye Fan to protect their country''s integrity.
Every supreme grandmaster was a weapon that China could use to assert its authority and dominance.
Li Hong-Ze naturally got nervous when Ye
Fan appeared uninterested in the title.
"Mr Chu, you''re too modest. The God of War spoke highly of you and advocated strongly for you. The
Heavenly Grandmaster holds you in high regard as well. You deserve the title of supreme grandmaster.
How can you say otherwise?"
"If you''re troubled by how hastily we''ve conferred the title upon you, please don''t. We initially nned
to host a grand ceremony on Mount Yan and have our head of the state knight you personally.”
"But you must have heard of a young and powerful Chinese martial artist who recently perished. He
was as young as you are. The God of War suspects that his death is an assassination carried out by a
foreign country in an attempt to weaken our martial arts circle. For the sake of your safety, the God of
War decided to keep your conferment a secret."
"When Mr Chu has reached his full strength, we will host a grand ceremony to celebrate your
knighthood. The head of
China will grace the ceremony and extend his congrattions to you personally."
Li Hong-Ze''s words were filled with sincerity and warmth. The well-respected man did not show any
hint of arrogance or condescension when speaking to Ye Fan. In fact, he was nothing but polite and
respectful.
His speech sent waves of shock and disbelief surging in everyone''s minds.
Was the head of state really going to personally extend his congrattions to Ye Fan?
Shock had Shen Fei cursing out loud.
His Brother Fan was simply incredible!
"Damn! I bet no one else gets that kind of privileged treatment,"ughed Shen Fei out loud after he
whistled and let loose a string of curses.
Shen Jiu-Yi pped his son instantly.
"You rascal, keep your mouth shut! Who do you think you are, talking right now? Do you want to meet
your maker?"
His son was going to drive him to an early grave.
These were powerful men speaking. Lowly nobodies like them should keep their mouth shut and try not
to draw any attention to themselves.
Talking too much was only going to get them into trouble.
A misspoken word could get them killed.
Shen Fei''s suddenugh had nearly given Shen Jiu-Yi a heart attack.
But Ye Fan didn''t appear to be interested in the title despite what Li Hong-Ze had said. He did not
ept the document that the man had tried to hand to him.
Wu Wei-Tao and He Lan-Shan grew cold as they listened to what Ye Fan had said. Their backs were
drenched in cold sweat.
Despair and regret swelled within them.
Ye Fan had clearly been talking about them.
This scoundrel was trying to get them killed.
Wu Wei-Tao''s heart filled with bitterness.
Li Hong-Ze soon caught what Ye Fan was trying to tell him.
"Did someone try to harm you? What''s this about burning your home, threatening the safety of your
family and trying to shoot you? Mr Chu, what''s going on? I''m not sure
I know what you''re talking about. Did someone cause you any offense?"
Li Hong-Ze appeared confused. Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
It was then that he noticed the hundreds of police vehicles around him and the army of soldiers on their
knees.
He reeled back slightly with startlement, then frowned. "Are these the hostile forces that you were
talking about, Mr Chu?"

"Zi-Yang, hold your tongue! You shouldn''t be respectful to Mr Li!" Li Er yelled frantically. His son''s
words had nearly given him a heart attack.
"Why should I hold my tongue? Not saying something doesn''t make it untrue," scoffed Li Zi-Yang. He
was furious at the injustice that Ye Fan had been made to suffer.
Li Hong-Ze was no ordinary man. It didn''t take him long to realize what was going on.
Li Hong-Ze''s voice sounded calm but those who knew him knew that underneath the veneer of
<pposure was an intense fury. The calmer he appeared to be, the more furious he truly was.
