A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1656

"I hope everyone here will be a witness. The Unrivalled, Ye Fan, acted as though he was above the law. He had gotten out of control and thinks little of our country. As the Hall Master of War God Castle, I, Sword Saint, will revoke his Supreme title and chase him out of China's martial arts world. From today onward, this man right here has nothing to do with China anymore."

Every single word that came out of his mouth was cold, and it left the crowd speechless.

Even Chu Zhengliang and those from Chu Sect were shocked to hear it.

None of them had expected Sword Saint to be so bold.

Not only did he revoke Ye Fan's Supreme title, but he also chased him out of the country. Not many people in this day and age could be so bold.

"What? Please reconsider, Sword Saint!" Tang Hao exclaimed.

He had been shocked to the core having heard what was said.

The man never expected things to turn out this way.

I can't believe Sword Saint has revoked Ye Fan's title.A Supreme can be said to be a country's pillar. Revoking someone's title as a Supreme is basically just destroying the country's support.

Under normal circumstances, doing such a thing would require a meeting with the rest of the members of War God Castle. It also required everyone from the country's martial arts world to vote on it.

It was only natural for Tang Hao to feel that Sword Saint was being rash for making such a decision himself.

"You don't have to convince me anymore, Tang Hao. I've decided that this man right here has nothing to do with China's martial arts world from now on," the latter spat, stopping him from saying anything else. At first, Ye Fan was shocked upon hearing Sword Saint's words as well.

However, soon, he smiled.

Then, he started laughing his heart out.

"Pfft! Hahahaha! First, you revoke my title. Then, you chase me out of the country. As expected of the Hall Master of War God Castle. You're so dignified and courageous. Hahaha!"

The man gave out a laughter full of mockery and ridicule.

"However, don't go thinking that I want this title. Back then, I had only accepted it because of my compatriots. I have not done anything against China," he added.

As his laugh resonated in the room, Ye Fan pulled out a golden token from his pocket.

It was his token as a Supreme he had gotten when receiving the documents for getting the title back in Jiangdong.

The word "Unrivalled" was written in gold on it.

He had been carrying it with him all this time.

Nonetheless, he took it out and said, "China is under the command of War God Castle. But both King of Fighters and Sword Saint are blind fools. I refuse to be on the same team as you. You don't have to revoke my title, as I am quitting myself. I don't need the title of a Supreme."

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan clenched his fist with all his might with the token still in his hand, and it turned into powder due to the large force.

Golden powder scattered everywhere.

"From now on, there shall be no Ye Fan in China."

The man was expressionless, but he spoke in a cold but loud voice that seemed to shake Chu Sect Castle.

No one could understand just how angry and lonely he actually felt.

Everyone stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded as they continued to stare at the young man before them.

Sword Saint's face paled at the sight of the golden powder that was once a Supreme token.

However, Tang Hao closed his eyes and let out a long sigh as tears streamed down his face.

"Huh... Why? How did things turn out like this? Why did you do this, Ye Fan? We are all fellow countrymen. Why did things have to turn out like this?"

He felt that what had happened was China's greatest tragedy.

But there was nothing he could do as he watched everything unfold.

After all, there was no right or wrong for what had happened. It was all a matter of their positions and perspectives.

Sword Saint gave up a rook to protect the king by revoking Ye Fan's title and breaking all relations with him.

But what about Ye Fan?

He had done nothing wrong either.

He was only here to settle his grudge against the Chu family after all.

It was all because of their different positions that eventually led to their current situation.

Even though he didn't want this to happen, it was no use crying over spilled milk. Clap! Clap! Clap!

While the crowd was still in shock, the crisp sounds of clapping were heard suddenly.

The head of the Chu family, Chu Zhengliang, was walking over while clapping.

"Haha! That's great! Good job revoking his title. As expected of the Hall Master of War God Castle. I knew you were a righteous man. Since this man has nothing to do with China anymore, it is only natural that our family will not mess with your country too. So I'm sure that China wouldn't blame us if we do anything to his life, right?" he asked with a smile while walking toward Sword Saint.

It was as though he was trying to make sure that China would not interfere with what he was about to do.

The latter replied coldly, "Why would we blame you if there is nothing between us anymore?"

"Great!" Chu Zhengliang said, laughing. "I'm relieved to hearthat."

At that, he turned around and his gaze landed on the young man.

"My dear nephew, you have really surprised me. You managed to survive back then in Japan. If you had just behaved yourself and stayed in that poor, rural area obediently, I might have let you off the hook and spared your life for the sake of your father. But I didn't expect you to dig your own grave. Well, perhaps this is for the better. I don't have to send my men looking for you all around China anymore. In fact, this saves me a lot of work."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Chu Zhengliang smiled.

His words were filled with disdain for Ye Fan.

It made sense. The man was now the head of the Chu family, and he was much more powerful than he was back then.

Tang Yun and a few others were the only ones who managed to catch his attention.

Ye Fan was just an abandoned child of the Chu family. Now that he was standing on the pinnacle of power, Chu Zhengliang paid him no attention even though he had almost died in his hands a few years back If the young man hadn't come to look for him today, he might have had forgotten about him already.

However, Chu Zhengliang's words shocked the crowd.

"Huh? Nephew? What is going on? Why did Mr. Chu call someone from China his nephew? Could it be that he's really Mr. Chu's nephew?" the martial arts leader of Remdik, Aaron, mumbled curiously. The leaders of other countries were just as curious.

Even Sword Saint and Tang Hao were confused.

"What's going on, Tang Hao? Is Ye Fan from the Chu family? Why is surname Ye, then?" the former questioned.

No one had paid attention to Ye Fan when he shouted "Uncle Liang" earlier.

After all, he didn't have a powerful enough background and was just someone of low rank before the martial arts leaders. His words did not carry much weight, so no one paid him any attention. However, they had to analyze the situation after hearing what Chu Zhengliang had said.

"I didn't know either," Tang Hao answered while shaking his head.

The higher-ups of the three families of the sect were just as confused as the outsiders on the situation.

"Did Chu Zhengliang just call him his nephew? Is it possible that he's the previous head of the Chu family, Chu Zhenghong's son?" the head of elders guessed.

"That can't be. Chu Zhenghong has no children," someone replied.

Right then, Bill, the head of the Jones family, shook his head and said with a glum expression, "No. He has one."

Whoosh!

Right when he finished speaking, countless eyes landed on him.

Everyone there was waiting for him to explain the situation.
