Ye Fan's words were as icy as the winds in winter. Wu Wei-Tao and the rest shivered uncontrollably and felt all their hair stand on end.
"Mr Chu, are you really going to fight these two powerful families head on with just this vulnerable body of yours?"
"Mr Chu, please think carefully before you act!"
"The Lu family has power over half of China's political arena, while the Xur family commands a few hundred thousand soldiers! Fighting them head on is almost as good as taking on the entire nation! Please reconsider it!"
Li Er and the rest were really petrified when they heard Ye Fan's response to Sun Xiang's description of the families.
They thought that Ye Fan would think twice about his actions after hearing about how formidable these two families really were.
But to their horror, Ye Fan wasn't frightened at all and was even prepared to fight them to the very end.
He was clearly implying that he intended to wipe out both the Lu and Xur families.
They felt their scalps turn numb and they were certain that Mr Chu was insane.
But Ye Fan's gaze became even frostier after the other men tried to change his mind.
He put his teacup down and spoke thunderously, "As I said, the ones who should put an end to things now are these two families, and the ones who ought to think twice before acting are also these two families. At the end of the day, the Lu and Xur families were the ones who provoked me first. I had no intention of making them my enemies or to fight against my own country. Lu Ming-Feng and Xur Shao-Hua deserved to die, and they cannot blame anyone else for these two men's deaths. But if their families are bent on avenging them, then I will not hold back either.”
"A grandmaster shall not be humiliated, and I, Ye Fan, will certain not take such insult lying down. Whoever tries to provoke me shall be killed. If one comes for me, I will kill that one man. If two come, I will kill them both. Even if the whole world comes after me, I will kill every single person. I, Ye Fan, have been invincible all my life and I need not fear man.”
Ye Fan's bright and clear voice resonated loudly in the living room.
His authoritative voice was as resounding as a grandfather clock as it echoed.
His deep set eyes were filled with a murderous glint.
This was what Chu Tian-Fan really looked like, and this was the true authoritativeness that a 'Tian' character descendant of the Chu family exuded.
In the past, he was like a ferocious tiger that hid itself in the high mountains and kept his claws and teeth away as he endured anything that came his way.
But now, he was a warrior who dared to barge through the capital all by himself, and he would leave nothing but dust and death behind him.
Everyone else in the room was stunned by the imposing presence that Ye Fan exuded.
Their faces were pale as they stared at him in shock while his angry words continued to replay in their ears.
But Ye Fan wasn't done talking. His low but clear voice sounded like the rolling thunder. "So what if they have clout in the political arena? So what if they have control over a few hundred thousand troops? I don't even have regard for the Chu family and I've trampled Japan underfoot. Why should I fear two families who are merely powerful in this material society? They are nothing but ants and dust, and they aren't even worth mentioning."
Ye Fan had been enduring all of this for such a long time now.
The Chu family had tried to kill him repeatedly over the past ten years, while the Qiu family humiliated and bullied him for three years.
In the past, he was weak and frail. He was nothing but a child thrown out by his family and seen as a country bumpkin of lowly birth.
He had no clout and wasn't strong enough, so he had no choice but to just endure with everything that came his way.
But now, he had strength.
In the past, Ye Fan was like a sword that was kept hidden away in a box. But now, this precious sword had been taken out from the box and its blade was able to shine once more.
He didn't need to fear anything and didn't need to remain silent about his sufferings.
The cultivation of martial arts was also the cultivation of the heart to keep moving forward no matter what.
Even if he had to kill his way forward, he would still keep trudging on.
If he was always fearful and watched his back constantly with every move he made, then Ye Fan had practiced martial arts for nothing.
There would be no need for his Operation Sparks plan to continue.
The room echoed with nothing but Ye Fan's domineering voice.
Ye Fan's confidence filled the entire living room in that moment.
Everyone was silent.
The silence went on for a long time.
