A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2365

Amidst their conversation, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Xu Lei was somewhat displeased. She turned her head and said, "I've told you before. When I'm talking with Ye Fan, I don't want anyone to interrupt."

The secretary reported, "Ms. Xu, Mr. Zhang Nanhai has arrived."

Upon hearing that, Xu Lei was taken aback. Ye Fan is right. Did he really come?

"Lei, you should leave first. Let Zhang Nanhai come in. There are some things I'd like to discuss with him privately."

It seemed as though Ye Fan had anticipated Zhang Nanhai's arrival long ago. There was no surprise in his demeanor. Instead, he instructed Xu Lei to leave.

"Okay." Xu Lei nodded and hummed in response before leaving.

Soon, Zhang Nanhai walked in and closed the door behind him.

"Have a seat." Ye Fan spoke softly, pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Nanhai.

However, it seemed as though Zhang Nanhai was not in the mood for tea.

He glanced up at Ye Fan, then lowered his gaze, only to lift it again.

It seemed as though he was hesitating, holding his tongue.

"Speak your mind if you have something to say. I'll be leaving after you're done." Ye Fan poured himself a glass of tea and took a sip.

Upon hearing that, Zhang Nanhai was taken aback. "Mr. Chu, are you really leaving? Will you ever return?"

Ye Fan shook his head. "Perhaps not."

"Even if doomsday were upon us, you wouldn't participate in the battle?" Zhang Nanhai probed further.

Ye Fan remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he rose to his feet, gazing through the floor-to-ceiling window at the colossal Universe Tree outside.

Ye Fan asked, "Nanhai, let me ask you. If an event's outcome remains unchanged regardless of your involvement, would you still go ahead and do it?"

Zhang Nanhai's mood grew even more somber. "So, do you still believe that the Titan Formation stands no chance against the Universe Tree, Mr. Chu?"

That was a question that Zhang Nanhai had wanted to ask earlier.

However, the topic was too heavy, so much so that he didn't dare to utter it out loud.

Although people around the world were now placing high hopes on the Titan Formation, even fervently believing that the Titan Formation would defeat the Universe Tree, Zhang Nanhai was very clear!

He never lost himself amidst those cheers, nor was he deceived by those flattering voices.

He knew well that Ye Fan's vision surpassed that of many in the world.

He knew even better that Ye Fan's insights and judgments carried more weight than those of countless others.

"Nanhai, in truth, you already know the answer deep within your heart. I won't provide you with an answer. All I can tell you is that I stand no chance against the Universe Tree at the moment. I can't even withstand a single hit from the Universe Tree. I'll say it again. The power of the Universe Tree is beyond human capabilities. However, I still hope that you can persevere. Perhaps you really could find a way. However, I hope that aside from the Titan Formation, you can leave an alternative path for the people of Earth. You should understand what I mean." Ye Fan spoke earnestly, advising in a deep voice.

Although he had already anticipated Ye Fan's answer, when he actually heard it, Zhang Nanhai still felt utterly heartbroken.

Before that battle, Zhang Nanhai was brimming with confidence.

At one point, he believed that he had found a way out for humanity.

However, the battle at Mount Yan was like a wake-up call to Zhang Nanhai.

Although the titan won in the end, the outcome was not the overwhelming victory that Zhang Nanhai had envisioned.

After all, Ye Fan couldn't survive even a single hit from the Universe Tree, yet he was able to exchange blows with the titan.

The disparity had become glaringly obvious.

After a brief moment of disappointment, Zhang Nanhai nodded. "Okay, Mr. Chu. I understand what you mean. However, there are certain things that are simply beyond my control, especially in dealing with matters concerning the Titan Formation. Over the years, in order to boost morale, the people of the International Martial Arts Union spared no effort in promoting the strength of the Titan Formation. The belief that the Titan Formation can defeat the Universe Tree has already deeply ingrained itself in people's hearts. That fervor has already surpassed the realm of reason."

Zhang Nanhai was never an obsessive person.
