A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1132

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.
