A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chu. My accomplishments are truly insignificant compared to yours."

Upon meeting Ye Fan again, Zhang Nanhai couldn't contain his joy. He behaved humbly as if he had just met his idol.

Jiang Yuqing was extremely dissatisfied when she saw how Zhang Nanhai behaved around Ye Fan.

She felt that Zhang Nanhai, with his status and contributions, had already surpassed Ye Fan. He should have acted superior instead of praising Ye Fan.

Jiang Yuqing knew all too well that Ye Fan was proud and arrogant.

The more Zhang Nanhai treated Ye Fan deferentially, the more it fueled Ye Fan's arrogance.

However, despite Jiang Yuqing's displeasure, she didn't say a word and stood quietly at the back of the crowd.

She knew she was not in a position to speak, as those standing before her were all supreme grandmasters, revered pillars of the country.

After catching up, Ye Fan revealed his intentions, claiming he came to find Zhang Nanhai.

"I see. Since the two of you agreed to meet, we'll let you two chat. We old folks will leave you alone. Let's catch up once you're done chatting," Xiao Chen said with a smile. After all these years, he had let go of all past grudges.

Now that doomsday was just around the corner, personal grudges were the least of their concerns. Hence, those who used to fight relentlessly against Ye Fan could now interact peacefully with him.

With that, Xiao Chen and the others tactfully took their leave.

Meanwhile, Zhang Nanhai led Ye Fan into the conference room of War God Castle.

"By the way, Mr. Chu, let me introduce someone to you. Do you recognize this person?"

Before they even entered the conference room, Zhang Nanhai suddenly introduced Jiang Yuqing to Ye Fan.

"Wuya initially introduced her to me. I was astonished to find out that she's your younger cousin. I felt that fate allowed our encounter because I even ended up meeting your relative after returning to Yanjing. Moreover, like you, Yuqing also has a particular interest in martial arts. I have already requested War God Castle to grant Yuqing the privilege of unrestricted access. Yuqing, why didn't you greet your cousin when you saw him?" asked Zhang Nanhai, smiling.

Clearly, Zhang Nanhai was trying to strengthen his relationship with Ye Fan through Jiang Yuqing.

After all, Zhang Nanhai had been taking exceptional care of Jiang Yuqing during this period.

In a sense, Ye Fan indirectly owed Zhang Nanhai a favor.

However, instead of greeting Ye Fan with a smile, Jiang Yuqing wore a gloomy expression and pouted, remaining silent.

It seemed that Jiang Yuqing was still upset with Ye Fan because of what had happened at home previously.

She was a proud girl.

If Ye Fan didn't initiate a conversation with her, she naturally wouldn't be the first to greet Ye Fan.

"Yuqing?" Zhang Nanhai urged once more, but still, Jiang Yuqing did not respond.

Zhang Nanhai grew hesitant.

Did I make a mistake? Is Yuqing not Mr. Chu's cousin at all?

Doubtful, Zhang Nanhai tentatively asked Ye Fan, "Mr. Chu, have I made a mistake? Don't tell me you don't know her." Ye Fan did not respond.

Instead, he walked right past Jiang Yuqing.

"Don't you have something to say to me? Let's get to it quickly then. I have other matters to attend to," Ye Fan said. Zhang Nanhai glanced back at Jiang Yuqing once more, then hurriedly followed Ye Fan into the conference room.

Jiang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and wanted to enter too.

There were no outsiders in there anyway.

One of them was her cousin while the other was Zhang Nanhai, who treated her better than her brother did. However, to Jiang Yuqing's surprise, she was unexpectedly stopped by the guard outside the conference room.

"How dare you stop me? Nanhai granted me unrestricted access in War God Castle." Jiang Yuqing invoked Zhang Nanhai's prestige.

"Apologies, Ms. Jiang. Hall Master Zhang just instructed us that no one is allowed to enter while he is discussing matters with Mr. Chu! Of course, that includes you," the guard remarked indifferently. Jiang Yuqing's beautiful eyes immediately turned red with anger.

Despite being filled with grievances, she ultimately refrained from throwing a temper tantrum.

However, at that moment, she understood the vast difference between herself and Ye Fan's group.

From a young age, she considered herself extraordinary. She was admitted to a top-tier institution, emerging as the top scorer in the university entrance exam.

Nonetheless, despite all her efforts, she was not qualified to enter places that Ye Fan and his group could easily access.

Perhaps she could only attain a status surpassing that of Ye Fan after she became Zhang Nanhai's wife.

In the conference room, Zhang Nanhai continued to inquire about Jiang Yuqing. "Mr. Chu, is she really not your cousin? If she's not, I'd punish her for impersonating your relative and revoke her privileges, expel her from War God Castle, and demand her to apologize to you."

Zhang Nanhai was always occupied with important matters, and the only reason he interacted with Jiang Yuqing was because she was Ye Fan's cousin.

If Jiang Yuqing had deceived him with a false identity, Zhang Nanhai would naturally not keep her around.

"She's my cousin. We're just not close," Ye Fan replied nonchalantly.

Zhang Nanhai nodded, understanding that Ye Fan seemed to not get along with this cousin of his. They probably have some disagreements. No wonder they won't talk to each other.

However, as this matter pertained to Ye Fan's family affairs, Zhang Nanhai found it inappropriate for an outsider like him to say anything.

He didn't inquire further about the matter. Instead, he proceeded to the main topic.

"Mr. Chu, I believe you've also heard about the Titan Formation. I want to know your opinion. Do you think humans can emerge victorious in the war between mankind and the Universe Tree? What do you think mankind should strive for in the remaining few years?" Zhang Nanhai asked Ye Fan with a serious look in his eyes.

People all over the globe had already set their course to fight the Universe Tree to the death, labeling all those advocating for the abandonment of Earth and relocation to outer space as escapists and defeatists, sentencing them to imprisonment, and even executing some stubborn dissenters.

Although mankind's thoughts had been unified, Zhang Nanhai still harbored uncertainties in his heart.

He was uncertain whether it was right or wrong to risk everything in a make-or-break battle against the Universe Tree.

When Zhang Nanhai asked for his opinion, Ye Fan didn't immediately respond. Instead, he countered with a question of his own. "Nanhai, let me ask you. What would you do when faced with an unbeatable enemy?"

After considering for a moment, Zhang Nanhai replied, "First, I would find a way to ensure my survival, then patiently wait for the right opportunity to strike."

Ye Fan posed another question. "Here's another question: if humanity is destined for extinction, what would you do with the time we have left?"

After a brief silence, Zhang Nanhai said, "I would do everything in my power to preserve human civilization and ensure the survival of our species."

Ye Fan nodded. "Your answer aligns with mine."

Zhang Nanhai added, "But Mr. Chu, my Titan Formation can enhance power. By harnessing the strength of all the powerful individuals, we might have a chance against the Universe Tree!"

Ye Fan stood up. "I came here tonight to test your Titan Formation. Summon the strongest titan you have trained in these past few years."

Zhang Nanhai was instantly filled with excitement, as he had conceived this idea long ago.

His Titan Formation had now become unbeatable.

No one in the world could challenge it except for Ye Fan, the most powerful martial artist in the world.

Perhaps only Ye Fan could truly assess the extent of his Titan Formation's power.

Therefore, that very night, Zhang Nanhai called upon the eighteen strongest supreme grandmasters from around the world, had them merge to form a Super Titan, and engage in a battle with Chu Tianfan, the current strongest individual in the world, on the peak of Mount Yan.

Would Chu Tianfan's power prevail, or would the Titan Formation emerge victorious?

This battle captured the world's attention, with television stations from various countries broadcasting it live.
