The island which was usually isolated from the rest of the world was very busy in the last few days.
Hundreds of ships came together, and an endless stream of people docked.
Naturally, those who could participate in the King of India's wedding ceremony were all powerful individuals from all over the world.
“Look over there. That is a Middle East oil tycoon. I heard that there are more than three hundred women living in his villa. They are his harem.”
Ye Fan was speechless.
“The one with the white turban is an arms dealer from India. The arms business is one of the most profitable businesses in the world. Rumor has it is said that this very island was built by the said arms dealer forthe King of India.”
Once again, Ye Fan was stunned.
Following the crowd, Ye Fan and his two companions moved along forward.
Along the way, Kieran, the chatterbox, kept pointing out to Ye Fan the big shots present at the function.
However, Ye Fan did not recognize any of them.
Nor did he wish to know who they were.
To Ye Fan, no oil tycoon or arms giant could withstand a strike of his fists.
Naturally, Winnie was unaware of Ye Fan's mentality.
All she noticed was his ignorant and silent expression when Kieran told him who the important guests were.
“Apparently, he is really a country bumpkin.”
Winnie shook her head and smiled contemptuously.
And so, at that moment, all the wariness and suspicions she had about Ye Fan were gone.
Such an insignificant person from a humble background could not be here for any conspiracy, nor could he cause any major harm.
Finally, Winnie became convinced that Ye Fan was there to see the world.
“Kieran, is the King of India really getting married today?”
Ye Fan was not interested in the origins of the wealthy guests but what concerned him more were matters pertaining to Fen Tian.
There was no apparent reason, but from the very beginning, Ye Fan felt a little strange when he entered this hall.
By right, due to the King of India's prestigious status, at his wedding, the martial arts masters from Folo Palace of India should be present.
Moreover, the martial arts world of foreign countries would also send envoys to congratulate him.
On the contrary, after Ye Fan looked around, he discovered that most of the guests present were businessmen who were no martial arts experts.
There were very few warriors with powerful auras, and even fewer martial artists above the Grandmaster levels. As for Supreme level Grandmasters, Ye Fan did not see any.
Fen Tian was the top martial art master in South Aploth.
That year, when there was a wedding in Chu Sect, the martial arts leaders from various countries in the world attended the banquet in person.
Perhaps, Fen Tian's status was not as privileged as the Chu family but he certainly deserved better.
“Who else, in your opinion, could it be? The Island of the King of India is the exclusive territory of the King of India. Who else, otherthan the King of India, can hold a wedding here?”
“In fact, I don't blame you. For someone whose status is as prominent as the King of India, marriage and family are burdensome. Many men of his level do not get married. Just think about it. Either way, there will be many women available. If they want children, there is no shortage of women who would give birth to their offspring. Why would they want to get married? When they divorce, they have to share their assets. If they have affairs, the public would condemn them. Marriage is not beneficial to them at all, other than the increased responsibilities and obligations.”
“Anyway, if I were the King of India, it would be foolish of me to sacrifice so much for one girl. It's akin to giving up the whole forest for the sake of one tree. Nonetheless, while on my way here, I heard that the King of India's fiancee is a rare beauty.”
“Have you heard of the Chu Sect? It's an ancient and mysterious powerful sect. I don't know much about this Chu Sect, but I do know that their head is recognized by the whole world as the most beautiful goddess on earth. Some passers-by on the road have said that the King of India's fiancee is as beautiful as the goddess of the Chu Sect.
“I feel that I'm beginning to understand why the King of India wants to get married. Perhaps, he has found his true love.
“It is a terrifying thing for a man to fall in love. Once a man falls in love, not only will he give up a whole forest, but he would willingly go against the whole world too. When a man is rational, he is the smartest animal on earth, but when he falls in love, he could be the dumbest creature in the world.”
Apparently, Kieran seemed to know a lot about the beauties of the world and he seemed very concerned, as well.
