“Chu Tianfan, you evil b*stard. I can't believe you actually have the guts to request something so ridiculous. Oh, I hope you burn in hell.”
Chu Qitian was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He glared with his bloodshot eyes and was hurling insults at Ye Fan.
The guy looked as though he wished to skin the latter alive.
He wasn't the only one who felt that way. Every single member of the Chu family was equally infuriated.
That was understandable since the Chu family was one of the most prominent families at the time.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say that they were at the top.
Being born into such a prestigious clan meant every member of the Chu family was practically raised to think they were better than everyone else.
Yet Ye Fan had demanded the entire family to kneel and apologize to an abandoned son and a village girl.
It didn't matter that everything was still hypothetical at that moment. The Chu family still regarded his demand as heresy and a humiliating insult.
Hence, it was natural that it infuriated them.
“What? Are you too chicken to bet on it?”
“Haha! Oh, I can't believe you guys actually claim to be the most powerful family. Now that I take a closer look, I see you are just some helpless rats hiding behind the walls of your puny house.”
“Aw, boo hoo! Are you too cowardly to accept the Dragon Master's challenge?”
Gaius, Owen, and the other Dragon Slayers snickered at the Chu family's furious glares.
Every word they said was filled with sarcasm.
“Haha, you are right. Hey, did you guys see that? This is how the so-called most powerful family is. Despite having so many members, they are still too cowardly to accept the Dragon Master's challenge. I guess that means they already know they will be defeated,” taunted Su Muqiu.
An elder of the Chu family roared, “Quit yapping! You guys are nothing but a bunch of useless hooligans. How dare you look down on us? Besides, when have we ever said that we won't accept this b*stard's challenge? It's just...”
Gaius chuckled and said, “It's just what? I bet you're just worried the head of your family will lose this battle. Once that happens, every single member of the Chu family will have to travel to the Dragon Master's family home and kneel continuously for seven days.”
“You...” grumbled a member of the Chu family. Gaius' words got everyone so angry that some were tempted to step up and teach him a lesson.
The head of the Chu family, Chu Zhengliang, was quiet the entire time, but he finally spoke up, “Fine! Since you're that adamant about challenging me and dying by my hand, then I shall grant you this wish. If you defeat me, I will lead the Chu family to China and kneel before your mother to apologize to her. However, if I defeat you, I want you and your subordinates to repent by committing suicide.”
After saying all that, Chu Zhengliang turned around to face the Sword Saint and the others.
“To the honorable fighters here today, please bear witness to this fight.” “Hahaha. Don't worry about that, Mr. Chu. You can battle in peace. If Chu Tianfan refuses to commit suicide after his defeat, you won't need to protest or anything. As witnesses, we will not let him get out of it. We will also help you annihilate that lying b*stard.”
Mochizuki Kawa was the one who stepped up and made that announcement. He put his hand on his own chest to signal his loyalty to Chu Zhengliang.
The leader of Remdik, Aaron, and Prince Carlo of Western Epea remained quiet, like the rest of the guests. However, they nodded. It was obvious they agreed and were willing to bear witness.
“Great! Allow me to thank you in advance.” Chu Zhengliang grinned. His gaze shone with arrogance when he turned his attention to Ye Fan. “You may go first. Although we have disowned you from the family, it's only right because you are still someone from the younger generation.
“Don't worry. I will let you make three moves. You may attack however you wish, and I will not fight back until you've finished making those three moves. Only then will this be a fair fight. I don't want the world to mock me and call me a bully-”
Inside the hall, Chu Zhengliang looked right into the young man's eyes. His words were ridiculously pretentious.
Bang!
Ye Fan didn't wait for the latter to finish delivering his speech. The Dragon Master zipped over and delivered a punch. In a flash, he landed a heavy blow right in Chu Zhengliang's face.
That impact sent the man flying and made him spit out blood and a tooth.
“You freaking swine! How dare you ambush me? I will kill you!”
Chu Zhengliang was undoubtedly dumbfounded after being struck.
He didn't expect the young man standing in front of him to behave so crudely.
