Chapter 1983
“You...”
Junie was so angry that she was trembling.
However, Ye Fan stopped her before she could argue with the rest of the members.
“Let it go, Junie. They are right. I am not an elder or a member of the Elysian Faction, so there is no need for them to kneel or bow to me.”
“But...” said Junie. She had so much more to say.
Ye Fan reacted by shaking his head and smiling. After that, he asked, “Are you free? Will you walk with me?”
Junie didn't hesitate before agreeing to do so.
“Elysian Master, we are in the middle of a meeting. Shouldn't we continue?”
“Where are you going?”
“You are the head of this group, so how can you neglect your honorable duties just to satisfy your personal desires?”
The members of the Elysian Faction were instantly upset. Many voiced up and were borderline reprimanding her.
To their dismay, Junie ignored them and hugged Ye Fan's arm as she walked out of the hall with him.
“This is...”
Many members of the Elysian Faction were turning red with envy and anger when they saw their leader hanging out with an enemy.
“Junie, you are driving the others insane with anger,” teased Ye Fan as he smiled.
He knew all too well that a master of the Elysian Faction was not allowed to get married or have relationships.
“Pfft, who cares about those old-fashioned idiots? Speaking of, why didn't you let me teach those old farts a lesson? You are the reason our faction is at the top. It's bad enough that they disrespect you and were ungrateful, but they were also impolite to you at the party. I think we should make them kneel before you and apologize for it so that they will learn their mistake and never make that stupid mistake again,” complained Junie angrily.
Ye Fan shook his head, then turned around to face Junie. “That's where you're wrong, Junie. I didn't put the faction at the top of the martial arts world in India. I did that for you and you only, so they were right. There is no need for them to thank me at all. Besides, they should be upset with me because I can be cruel. In fact, if they were to disrespect you or hurt you in the future, I will mercilessly crush them with my bare hands.”
Ye Fan spoke calmly, and his words were painting a bloody and cruel image, but it warmed Junie's heart. Her eyes glowed with happiness as her lips curved into a beautiful smile.
“You know, I'm really starting to envy your wife, Qiu Mucheng. What do you think about having two wives, Ye Fan? I don't mind being the second one.”
Junie smiled at Ye Fan and spoke as though she were joking.
The vengeance that had been delayed for years had since been delivered, and the woman filled with hatred had finally moved on.
At that moment, Junie was just a cheerful young lady who was also stunning.
“Stop messing around. There is no reason to be envious of her. She had been with me for so many years, but she didn't get to lead a happy life. If anything, I dragged her into my mess repeatedly. Sometimes, I wonder how things would be if I never married into the Qiu family and become a kept man. She'll probably be much happier if that were the case,” replied Ye Fan.
He shook his head while grinning, and his tone carried a hint of pain and self-mockery.
Junie didn't agree with that, though.
“It's like how the old saying goes. The very jewels decorating the crown weigh it down. She is your wife, so she should face these turmoils and challenges. If she doesn't want a life like that, then she should just leave. You are an incredible man, and countless women would endure all that for you. They might even be willing to die for you,” declared Junie while having a straight face on.
“Pfft, quit trying to butter me up. You should spend that time thinking about how you will manage the Elysian Faction instead. I will go into solitary training in two days, so no one will be here to clean up your mess for you anymore.”
“Solitary training? Does that mean you are about to have a breakthrough?” asked Junie as she stared at Ye Fan in astonishment.
“I'm going to try to reach a new height. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually achieve that,” replied Ye Fan. His growth had remained stagnant since being wounded a few years ago.
Now that Duanmu Wan'er had given him some incredible medicine, he wanted to try using them to reach a new height.
“What are you going to do after that?” asked Junie. Her expression instantly turned serious when she said those words.
Ye Fan became just as serious.
He turned around and looked at the west side of the night's sky. “I'll go gather my Dragon Gods after that.”
Junie's heart slumped.
That fateful day was finally looming.
Two years ago, Ye Fan had his heart and dreams crushed.
Is he going back to that place now?
Junie couldn't help worrying.
Ye Fan, however, smiled when he saw her making that face. “It'll be fine, Junie. I have been through a lot, and I have grown to be much stronger than I used to be. The entire world can gang up against me today, and I will still come out victorious.”
“But, Ye Fan, you are on your own this time around. Gaius and the others are nowhere to be found, so you will have to go against the Chu Sect on your own,” said Junie. Her voice showed just how concerned she was.
Ye Fan chuckled. “That is not true. I am not on my own. Oh, that reminds me. If any other member of the Elysian Faction tries to overthrow you or mess with you, you can get in touch with Folo Palace. King Folo and the others will settle the matter for you.”
“That is not possible. You killed Fen Tian, so I'm sure they see us as their mortal enemies. They're probably planning to assassinate us right now, so why would they help?” replied Junie. She didn't agree with Ye Fan's train of thoughts.
“Kill us? Hah! As if they'd have the guts to do so,” said Ye Fan while shaking his head and smiling.
That night was as cold as ice.
Ye Fan and Junie chatted away the entire time.
The next morning, Ye Fan looked for a quiet spot and began his solitary training.
He called Junie and Noa to him, then issued some instructions before he did that, though.
Noa gathered her subordinates and ordered them to set up a perimeter with a ten-mile radius. Ye Fan's solitary training would take place in the middle, and they had to make sure that no one else could barge in.
With all that preparation done, Noa called a cab. “Please get in the car. Let's head back together.”
Junie replied, “Okay.”
In the city's outskirt.
Another day, another morning. Geetha sat on the stairs in front of the entrance to his house. He rested his head on his tiny hands as he looked into the distance.
Sir left in that direction.
Geetha had been waiting there every dusk and dawn after Ye Fan departed that day.
He promised that he will be back, and I believe him. He will surely return.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Stop waiting, Geetha. We have to go now,” urged an elderly lady, Selva who was standing behind Geetha.
Geetha's grandmother had already packed everything and was ready to leave.
She wanted to take Geetha back to his hometown.
The money they made earlier when they sold the medicine was enough to pay for Geetha's school fees in the village.
Granted, the teachers there weren't the best, but they could still teach the basics well.
“Can we wait for a few more days?” begged Geetha.
Selva responded by sighing. “Let's not wait any longer. Give it up. He's not coming back. In fact, there's a good chance he can't come back anymore.”
Ye Fan promised he would be back in two days, but that deadline passed ages ago.
Selva couldn't be sure if Ye Fan survived because the latter had offended the renowned Vias family.
That is the most powerful family in all of India! Ye Fan might be a skilled fighter, but he is on his own, and he can't defeat a family like that on his own. He promised he'd return for Geetha, but that really is just wishful thinking.
Truth was, Selva had never expected Ye Fan to return.
Geetha insisted on waiting, though.
He was waiting for Ye Fan to take him away from that horrible place.
“That is not true. I'm sure he will be back. He said he'd come for me,” insisted Geetha stubbornly.
“Enough! You stubborn kid. Are you trying to get me so angry that I die of high blood pressure? We're not waiting any longer, and that's that! Grab your things. We're leaving now. If we don't, the wounded thugs will recover and will return to exact vengeance on us. It would be impossible for us to leave when that happens.”
Selva was furious. She couldn't let the kid keep acting up like that.
We must leave today!
“No, I don't want to go,” insisted Geetha.
“You stupid kid. Get up now or I will hurt you,” threatened the old lady before she smacked Geetha with her walking cane.
“No, I won't leave. I'll stay, no matter how hard you hit me. I will wait for him,” replied Geetha. He cried and screamed while hugging a tree at the side of his house tightly.
The immense fury was on the verge of rendering Selva unconscious when, at the other end of the road, several luxurious cars made their way over.
They stopped right outside the house.
When the doors were opened, two stunning woman slipped out of the car.
They were noble and graceful... almost as though they were angels.
Geetha was instantly stunned.
He had never seen anyone that beautiful or regal before, so for a moment there, he thought he was looking at angels
