A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1911
"Ladies and gentlemen, the wedding ceremony is about to begin in ten minutes' time. Kindly take your seats," announced the emcee.
True enough, many people started to enter the hall and take their seats after the emcee's announcement.
"Oh my! Isn't that the head of the Vias family?"
"That's right. Why does that girl behind him look so familiar?"
Kieran got bored quickly, and his eyes started wandering around.
Very soon, he noticed a group of people.
"Ye Fan, isn't she that rascal that we met in the restaurant the other day?" asked Kieran as he seemed to recall something and pointed to a person in front of them.
Ye Fan took a glance and replied, "I think so."
When Ye Fan and Kieran noticed Noa, she seemed to sense it too.
She turned around and met Ye Fan's eyes.
"Hmph! That b*stard!"
Noa was still angry, so when she spotted Ye Fan, she stomped her feet.
"What's wrong? Is that the China man you were telling me about?" asked Noa's dad as he looked at where his daughter was staring at.
Soon, he spotted Ye Fan.
"Noa, go with your brothers first. I will join all of you in a short while," said her father.
Just as Gray was turning to walk away, Noa grabbed hold of his hand and begged him, "Dad, please don't hurt him.”
The man shook his head in disapproval. "After so many years, the first man that you care about turns out to be a foreigner. It looks like I can't keep my baby girl by my side anymore."
The man teased his daughter and caressed her face. "Don't worry. I know what to do."
After that, the man took a few guards with him and walked toward Ye Fan.
The few guards went up to Ye Fan and asked him politely, "Are you Ye Fan? Come out for a while. Mr. Vias would like to speak with you."
"If he wants to speak with me, then why isn't he here? Why has he sent you to call me instead?" Ye Fan responded.
However, his response scared the wits out of Kieran and Winnie.
Kieran advised him in a low voice, "Ye Fan, they are the Vias family, the most prominent family in India. Be careful how you talk to them! If they ask you to go over, you do so. By the look of it, I don't think they will make things difficult for you."
Kieran was worried that Ye Fan might offend those people and implicate them.
When Ye Fan noticed how frightened Kieran was, he shook his head and laughed.
"Fine. I'll go with them."
Anyway, he had nothing to occupy him at the moment. Ye Fan also wanted to find out why the head
of the Vias family was looking for him.
"You're Ye Fan? You look like a fine young man indeed."
Outside the castle, there was a stern and haughty-looking man waiting for him.
There were also several guards standing near him.
"Thank you. But, I don't think you have called me here to tell me how handsome-looking I am," said Ye Fan with a smile.
Gray nodded. "That's right. Let's get back to the point. Tell me about your background. Who else do you have in your family? What kind of business is your family doing? Perhaps, your family has some business dealings with the Vias family."
Ye Fan shook his head and let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I'm a nobody. My family is doing agricultural work. We certainly have no business dealings with you."
"What? A country bumpkin?" All of a sudden, the man's face darkened.
Although he had guessed that Ye Fan was not from any outstanding family background, it was only now that he realized that he had overestimated him.
A country bumpkin with no prominent family background was considered to be among the lowest class of people in India.
India was a country that took social hierarchy very seriously.
Family backgrounds were of utmost importance to the people from the upper caste.
Under normal circumstances, he would feel insulted to be talking to someone of Ye Fan's standard.
However, he had no choice because his foolish daughter was interested in that man.
"In the future, cut all ties with your parents. You aren't allowed to have any more interactions with them. I will provide you with a new and more dignified identity. Once the wedding is over, you will come back to my home. From now on, you will be by my daughter's side and attend to all her needs! As long as you keep her happy, I won't treat you badly! Naturally, that is as far as things will go between you and my daughter. I have to tell you something in advance. The daughter of the Vias family will never marry someone of a sullied bloodline. Therefore, you should know where you stand. There are some things that shouldn't cross your mind! It doesn't matter how my daughter feels about you. Always remember that you're only a servant hired by the Vias family. Is that understood?"
Once he was aware of Ye Fan's background, Gray looked down on him.
As a result, he also sounded more domineering than before.
However, Ye Fan remained unperturbed and laughed out loud instead. "Hahaha!"
It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the whole world.
"What are you laughing about?"
Gray frowned.
Ye Fan's laughter had annoyed him and sounded like a ridicule to him.
"Do you have a problem with that? Or perhaps, you feel that serving my daughter is an insult to you? It looks to me like you have no idea how powerful the Vias family is. The Vias family used to be royalty in India! Even now, my family members still have some say in military affairs! Ourfamily businesses span across the world. The strongest man in South Aploth is one of my family members!"
Ye Fan could not take it anymore, and he cut him off. "So what? It doesn't matter how prominent your family may be. In my eyes, you're nothing! I don't even give a d*mn about the Chu family and have even fought against them. So, stop being a snob. To me, your background means nothing!"
"How dare you! Such insolence!"
Gray was infuriated, and he stared at Ye Fan.
"Nothing? Are we insignificant to you? This is absurd! You're so ignorant! Who do you think you are? A king? A god? You're just a poor chap from a lowly background with no title. If my silly daughter hasn't had her eyes on you, what makes you think I will be talking to you? You won't even be able to enter the castle without help. I have no idea why you have the confidence to be so arrogant!"
Gray was really enraged.
He had given Ye Fan his blessing, wealth, and even the opportunity to get close to his daughter. Gray was even prepared to accept Ye Fan as his godson if he proved himself to be capable. However, he did not expect this impoverished young man to be so rude and ungrateful! Over the years, no one had dared to speak to him in that manner.
If it was not for his daughter, he would have burned Ye Fan alive for his offensive behavior.
Yet, Ye Fan remained smiling when faced with Gray's wrath.
"You want to know where I get my confidence from?
Let me show you!"
With that, Ye Fan stomped the ground.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion, and it felt as if the earth had shattered.
The stone steps beneath his feet exploded into
pieces.
Gray got such a fright and trembled so badly because he thought that Ye Fan wanted to kill him.
Amidst the flying debris, Ye Fan exclaimed in a godlike stance, "The power is within me! Even if I want to kill you, there is no one who can stop me. Who dares to?"
