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 others sitting high got 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 Folo


    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 our side! 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 Folo and the


    others could barely wait for him to leave their country.
