A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1132 Ye Fan's True Identity

Ye Fan's scathing words had gone beyond mere insult and were an open provocation.

These three special troops were Xur Jun-Lin's greatest achievement and his pride and joy.

His esteemed status in China could be attributed to his founding and establishment of these three special forces.

Yet Ye Fan had just insulted his pride and joy and called them good-for-nothings. There was no way that Xur Jun-Lin could take that lying down.

His face darkened.

Humiliation and fury had him cursing at Ye Fan.

"Silence! You're just a young punk. How dare you insult the strongest military force in our country!" The old general's eyes reddened with anger.

Ye Fan simply shook his head as a faint smile tugged at his lips.

"Old man, I told you. The strongest military unit in China is the Green Dragon Force and I am General Green Dragon. The title was conferred upon me by the military." His words sent everyone reeling back with shock.

The crowd was completely flabbergasted.

"What? General Green Dragon? Is Mr Chu a general too?" Li Er and the others blurted out in shock.

They had thought that Ye Fan's power and influence came from his secular position as the leader of Jiangdong.

Such a title did accord him with some authority most of the time.

But it was a title that was given to him by the people and hardly anything official. To the government, Ye Fan was nothing but a gangster.

That wouldn't be the case anymore if he was also a general in the military.

That would be an official title and position that came with authority and power that was granted by the military and the government.

It meant an elevated status and position.

"What did you just say? Did you just call yourself General Green Dragon? Are you a general too?" blurted Xur Jun-Lin in shock.

He had thought this so-called Mr Chu of Jiangdong a mere gangster who had no place amongst the truly powerful and influential. But this young man had just called himself General Green Dragon, the instructor of the most powerful special troops in China.

"That's utter nonsense! I've been a general for decades. I personally groomed and trained the three most powerful special troops of our nation. I know every military unit in the army. I've never heard of the Green Dragon Force. How dare you impersonate a general and spew lies in public!" said Xur Jun-Lin fiercely. He didn't believe Ye Fan's words at all.

Ye Fan did not seem infuriated by Xur Jun-Lin's accusations. Instead, he simply smiled.

"Old Master Xur, that's the world you knew thirty years ago, when you still held power. But the world's changed and so has the military. You've been in retirement for years. Do you really think the military's going to seek your advice and approval for their new plans and new units? I'll speak honestly. The Green Dragon Force is a team of martial artists that's been jointly set up by the Yanjing and Jiangdong military camps. Every member of the team is an experienced martial artist. Your silly little soldiers are no match for them."

Arrogance and condescension were evident in the look in Ye Fan's eyes and the smile on his lips.

He had instructed Ye Yu-Yan and the others a few days ago to leave the military camp and head for Yunzhou for a mission.

Of course, he could have easily dealt with the three special troops even without their assistance.

But he had deployed them anyway because he had wanted to witness the results of their training.

It seemed that their intensive training had paid off.

Within the short span of a few weeks, Li Zi-Yang, Ma Ming-Bo and the others had shown vast improvements in their physical abilities.

This wasn't simply the result of their diligent training. The Green Dragon Technique that Ye Fan had taught them and the Revitalization Bathwater that Old Madam Chu had specially concocted for them had contributed much to their progress too.

Without Ye Fan's technique and the old lady's concoction, Ye Yu-Yan and the others could not have shown such a drastic transformation within a span of two weeks.

"Instructor Chu, look at the outcome of our training! We turned out alright, didn't we? We didn't embarrass you, did we?"

"Instructor Chu, the bathwater you got us worked miracles! It's like a miracle cure for the exhaustion that we feel from the day's training. I simply need to have a soak in it at night to feel all refreshed and rejuvenated the next morning!"

"The Green Dragon Technique is amazing too! I'm quite sure we can take a bull down with a single punch."

Even though the Xur family and the almighty general, Xur Jun-Lin was standing right before them, the five members of the Green Dragon Force appeared oblivious to their presence. Their eyes held no one but Ye Fan.

"Who are these folks, Instructor Chu? They look like they're from the military. Which idiot in the military lost his mind and decided to make things difficult for you?" After reporting to Ye Fan the results of their training, Li Zi-Yang eyed the prone members of the Warring Wolves and the other two special forces lying at their feet and asked curiously.

"Silence! How dare you, a lowly soldier, insult my father?! This is my father, an esteemed general in the military. You should be kneeling before him and according him the respect he deserves right now. Get down on your knees before I report you to the military and have you punished for disrespecting your superiors!" barked Xur He furiously upon hearing Li Zi-Yang's words.

Before he was done speaking, Li Zi-Yang had given him a hard slap on his cheek.

A resounding slap rang in the air as Xur He cried out in pain and flew back from the force of the slap.

"I'm talking to my instructor. How dare you interrupt our conversation," scoffed Li Zi-Yang. It was clear that he had no regard for Xur He or Xur Jun-Lin.

The Green Dragon Force cared neither for the powerful families of Yanjing nor for any other esteemed generals in the military. Their only regard was for Ye Fan.

Li Zi-Yang's arrogance stunned Shen Fei. "Gosh, Brother Yang sounds a little like Mr Chu when he talks like that." Shen Fei secretly gave the young man a thumbs up.

Li Er and the others were taken aback by what Li Zi-Yang had done too.

Lei San eyed Li Er curiously and asked, "What happened to your son? He's like a changed man."

Li Er's son had been infamous for being the epitome of the prodigal son.

He had known nothing and had whiled his time away eating, drinking, gambling and flirting with women.

They had all known him as a completely useless piece of trash who was going to amount to nothing in life.

No one would have imagined that he would be donning a military uniform and displaying such prowess.

They had just witnessed him scale walls and run across rooftops and seen him perform feats of incredible strength.

The best guards hired by the Lei family couldn't do what he had done.

"I have no idea..." said Li Er with shock. Emotions warred inside him.

All he knew was that his son had gotten into the military. He had had no idea that he had joined the Green Dragon Force.

He had been shocked at the drastic improvement that his good-for-nothing son had shown.
