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 woulde 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 wee 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 thetter.


    In a split second, Zhang Xiaoyu, Prince Duo Li, and the other two princes were dumbstruck. Their


    eyes widened in disbelief; their minds went nkpletely.


    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 mes 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 nkly, 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 afortable 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 youngdy was self-aware that she was only a lowly nobody alongside Ye Fan. Hence, she


    moved away from thetter 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 ce for me. Thus,


    it''s good enough for a lowly junior like me to be seated down here,” Noa whispered to him.


    No doubt, as the head of a prominent family, she was categorized as one of them from a prestigious


    status.


    Notwithstanding, her status was a stark contrast to the President of India and the others from Polo


    Pce.


    Now that all the big shots invited Ye Fan to step forward and be seated with them, Noa knew well


    that she was not qualified to join him. Thus, she did not apany him to sit at the highest spot.


    shing him a smile, she uttered casually, “I''ll go down now and continue to look on attentively.”


    Next, she turned to make her way into the crowd.


    Nheless, it never urred to her that Ye Fan would stop her right away. She had only turned


    before a hand stretched out to grab hold of her wrist.


    Petrified, she felt a massive force pulling her to Ye Fan''s side again.


    Thetter lowered his head to look intently at her. It was as though countless stars were glittering in


    his obsidian eyes.


    “Noa, why are you feeling inferior? Bear in mind that there''ll always be a ce for you beside me no


    matter where I go.” Ye Fan chuckled blissfully in the face of the other guests.


    Before Noa had time to respond, he held her hand and moved upwards while the others looked on


    with reverence. It was as if the duo was heading toward the highest point that symbolized the


    prominence of India.


    “Mr. Chu, you''re incredibly unrivaled and deemed the top-notch hero with your formidability! The


    martial arts world of India has been revering invincible fighters and heroes all this while. Ever since


    you stepped into ournd, our people have been in awe of your formidability. Allow me to bestow


    you with a dukedom on behalf of India today. I sincerely hope that you won''t turn me down on that.


    Mr. Chu, what do you think about it?” The President of India stered a smile to butter Ye Fan up.


    Hearing that, all the other guests couldn''t help but feel their jaws dropping to the ground. They


    couldn''t believe that their nation''s leader was pleading with Ye Fan to ept the dukedom. D*mn it!


    What the heck is happening?


    Many risked their lives and even met their end tragically on the battlefield throughout the years,


    yearning for a royal title.


    Nevertheless, the royal leader of India even swallowed his pride and pled with Ye Fan to ept the


    dukedom at the moment.


    Unequivocally, things in the world were unfathomable a lot of times. Many failed to obtain what they


    had been anticipating. On the contrary, those who never had such anticipation were pled to ept


    the offer instead.


    Ye Fan only replied to the leader of India cidly, “Okay!”


    Thetter 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 ofnd, the right to collect taxes


    from the people, and the hereditary right of the dukedom.


    Everyone was bbergasted.

    King Narendra? Ten thousand hectares ofnd? 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 urred to them that Ye Fan would be givennds 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 sses. 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.
