Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Zhao Hongyuan breathed a huge sigh of relief as his biggest cause for concern disappeared

completely. “That's good to know.”

Although Zhao Hongyuan had never seen Ye Fan, he had heard all about Ye Fan's reputation in

Jiangdong.

Zhao Hongyuan would never dare mess with someone that powerful without War God Castle backing

him up.

The Zhao family was incredibly wealthy and had members who were generals in the military, powerful

politicians, and Grandmasters in the martial arts world.

Despite all that, they wouldn't even come close to stopping Chu Tianfan if he went berserk.

After all, Chu Tianfan was able to defeat even the strongest sect in the world, Chu Sect.

With War God Castle backing him up, however, Zhao Hongyuan no longer needed to fear him.

Once the Zhao family acquires Jiangdong, the power and influence of our businesses in Zhonghai will

increase exponentially! I will become the king of Jiangdong, and the Zhao family will become the

wealthiest family in all of China! Even the Xiao family in Yanjing will lose to us!

“Mr. Mo, when will that person arrive from the north? We'll announce that Chu Tianfan's power in

Jiangdong has died down, so War God Castle can also set up a branch here and take over the martial

arts world of Jiangdong!”

Zhao Hongyuan was starting to get impatient as he was almost done with his preparations.

All he lacked was a symbolic event that everyone in the country would recognize and remember, like a

coronation ceremony of sorts.

While the lack of a coronation ceremony wouldn't change the fact that he would become king of

Jiangdong, it was a tradition for every successor to have one.

A coronation ceremony would be Zhao Hongyuan's way of informing everyone of his status as king of

Jiangdong.

As such, Zhao Hongyuan was incredibly excited to have his coronation ceremony.

War God Castle had promised to make him the king of Jiangdong when the person arrived from the

north.

“Soon. He's already on his way, so just be patient. You'll get what you want. After this, the martial arts

world of China shall only listen to War God Castle and Jiuzhou! Chu Tianfan has been hogging

Jiangdong for far too long. It's about time he gave it back to China. His era came to an end the moment

Jiuzhou became the Hall Master of War God Castle!” Mo Wuya replied with a gloomy look in his eyes.

At that moment, his heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of excitement.

It was as though he was finally able to release all that anger and frustration that he had kept

suppressed for many years.

After all, Mo Wuya had known Ye Fan for a very long time.

When the two of them first met, Ye Fan wounded him severely and stole the woman he loved.

Mo Wuya had always thought of himself as the most brilliant genius in all of China, but everything

changed the moment Ye Fan showed up.

Not only did Ye Fan gain all of the attention, but he also hogged all of the resources.

Mo Wuya was reduced to a nobody as everyone only knew how great Chu Tianfan was.

Nobody remembered Mo Wuya for his brilliance and talents, so he had no choice but to live under Ye

Fan's shadow.

All he could do was watch as Ye Fan went on a rampage in Japan, got awarded the title of Supreme,

and shocked the world by reaching the top of Sky Ranking.

Being a fellow Chinese, Mo Wuya knew that he should take pride in knowing that China had such a

powerful asset.

However, he couldn't seem to feel good about Ye Fan's achievements at all.

Disappointment and a feeling of inferiority were all that filled Mo Wuya's heart.

Why? We're of the same age and started from the same place, so why is he able to achieve such great

success? He's so successful that he makes me look like a worthless piece of trash! For so many years,

I've wanted an opportunity to crush Chu Tianfan just to prove to him that I'm not useless! This isn't even

about getting revenge; I simply want the satisfaction of showing him that I'm better. And now, my

chance to do so has finally come... I may not be powerful enough to defeat Chu Tianfan on my own,

but it won't be a problem if I have Chen Jiuzhou and Mu Zihua to help me out! With their support, I

finally have the power to fight Chu Tianfan head-on!

“Our grudge began in Japan, and it shall end in Jiangdong, Chu Tianfan.”

Mo Wuya's deep voice echoed throughout the hall as he stood there with his hands behind his back.

As he looked out the windows, he saw that traffic was heavy on the roads below.

A strong wind started blowing through the area and helped cleared his mind somewhat.

As though to match his good mood, the clouds in the distance were rushing toward him.

After staring at the clouds for a while, however, Mo Wuya realized that something was amiss.

“Hmm? Wait a minute... Those aren't clouds! Those are people!”

Mo Wuya's pupils constricted instantly as he quickly took a few steps back.

“What is it, Mr. Mo? What's going on?” Zhao Hongyuan asked in confusion when he saw Mo Wuya's

strange reaction.

Those words had barely left his mouth when he saw a faint blue flame rising beneath his feet.

His face filled with fear as he dropped to the floor and rolled around while screaming, “Help me, Mr.

Mo!”

However, it was too late.

The flames increased in intensity until they engulfed Zhao Hongyuan entirely.

The last thing Zhao Hongyuan saw in his dying moments was a slender figure that had appeared in the

hall.

The slender figure then slowly walked toward them with a blank expression on his face and an icy-cold

look in his eyes.

With his entire body in agonizing pain, Zhao Hongyuan asked, “W-W-Who are you?”

The man glared coldly at him as he replied, “I am Chu Tianfan of Jiangdong.”

What?

Zhao Hongyuan's eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he heard the man's name.

He had never thought that his first encounter with Chu Tianfan would be his last, let alone expect Chu

Tianfan to use such a direct and brutal method to get his revenge.

It all happened so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

Just like that, Zhao Hongyuan, the head of Journey Group and the second most powerful member of

the Zhao family, was burned to death by Ye Fan's refined energy flames before his coronation

ceremony.

Zhao Hongyuan had dominated the business market for dozens of years, so he had built quite an

impressive reputation for himself.

As such, his death would surely cause a huge commotion in the corporate world of China.

Even so, Ye Fan couldn't be bothered to waste even another second on him.

He didn't care if he was up against Zhao Hongyuan, Zhao Hongtu, or anyone else in the Zhao family.

Ye Fan would simply kill anyone who dared offend him or bring harm to Jiangdong.

“We meet again, Mo Wuya. I agree with what you said earlier. Let us settle our score here in Jiangdong

once and for all,” he said as his gaze fell upon the man standing behind Zhao Hongyuan.

Ye Fan's expression was so cold that Mo Wuya shuddered as he stood in the corner of the hall.

Yup, that's Chu Tianfan, all right! I'd recognize him no matter what he looked like!

“Long time no see, Chu Tianfan...” Mo Wuya clenched his fists as he continued in a sinister tone,

“Unfortunately, you came a little earlier than you should have.”

Boom!

Those words had barely left Mo Wuya's mouth when he crashed through the wall behind him and made

a hasty escape.

There's no way I'm sticking around to fight him! This is Chu Tianfan we're talking about! He ranks first

on the Sky Ranking and single-handedly defeated Chu Sect! My only chance of surviving this

encounter is to run away as fast as I can!
