Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

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.”

Flustered, Prince Duo Li and the other two princes glowered at Ye Fan menacingly.

Never had they expected a mind-numbing event would come 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 welcome 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 the latter.

In a split second, Zhang Xiaoyu, Prince Duo Li, and the other two princes were dumbstruck. Their eyes widened in disbelief; their minds went blank completely.

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 flames 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 blankly, 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 a comfortable 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 young lady was self-aware that she was only a lowly nobody alongside Ye Fan. Hence, she moved away from the latter 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 place 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 Palace.

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 accompany him to sit at the highest spot.

Flashing 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.

Nonetheless, it never occurred 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.

The latter 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 place 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 our land, 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 plastered 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 accept 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 accept 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 accept the offer instead.

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

The latter 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 of land, the right to collect taxes from the people, and the hereditary right of the dukedom.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

King Narendra? Ten thousand hectares of land? 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 occurred to them that Ye Fan would be given lands 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 glasses. 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.
