The Man In Rage novel Chapter 974

Back then, the time wasn't right yet.

The Chu clan placed a lot of emphasis on one's background and despised those of lowly birth, so Ye Fan's birth alone destined him for a lot of obstruction to his return to the clan.

Even though Chu Zheng-Hong was now the head of the family, he didn't dare to let Ye Fan return to the clan if he wasn't sure that everything was going to be alright.

Doing this prematurely might kill Ye Fan instead.

The internal struggle for power within huge clans like the Chu family had always been cruel.

Ye Fan was the eldest son of the Chu clan, so even if he didn't want to become the head of the family, he couldn't avoid being embroiled in the power struggle within the family.

As a result, Chu Zheng-Hong had been waiting all these years.

He was waiting for the time when he had sufficient power in his hands to protect Ye Fan and his mother.

He was also waiting for Ye Fan to grow up and become able to take on challenges by himself.

And now, the time was right.

The fact that Ye Fan made it to number 11 on the Sky Ranking made it possible for him to protect himself within the family.

And that was why Chu Zheng-Hong was so eager to wait for Ye Fan to return.

It was time to explain everything that happened back then to Ye Fan.

The time finally reached 9AM.

As the time of Ye Fan's arrival came close, Chu Zheng-Hong's heart started to get both excited and nervous at the same time.

But just when Chu Zheng-Hong was filled with anticipation as he looked forward to being reunited with his son, a piece of bad news was announced over the PA system in the arrival hall.

"On 18th May 2020, at 1023AM, the cruise ship 'Emperor' ran into an accident in Japanese waters and has sunk. Rescue teams have already begun their search for survivors, but they have not found any survivors at the moment. The relevant departments are still investigating the details of this matter with the Japanese government."

"On 18th May 2020, at 1023AM, the cruise ship 'Emperor' ran into an accident in Japanese waters and has sunk...”

"...they have not found any survivors at the moment."

The low volume of the announcement repeated itself within the arrival hall.

Chu Zheng-Hong's face instantly paled.

His body staggered backwards and he collapsed onto the chair behind him.

"The Emperor has sunk? And...there are no...no survivors?"

This news came like a bolt from the blue.

He suddenly felt like he had aged by ten years.

The excitement in his eyes immediately dimmed.

"Master, Master! Don't worry, Young Master will be fine. Young Master has an ability that surpasses others and is even recognized as a supreme grandmaster. Even if that cruise completely sinks, Young Master will definitely be able to come out unscathed," consoled Han as he ran forward to help Chu Zheng-Hong up.

But the color on Chu Zheng-Hong's face did not look any better after hearing this.

If this was just an ordinary accident, then Ye Fan would definitely be able to come out unscathed since he was so powerful.

But was this really an ordinary accident?

Ye Fan had just become well known from that battle in Japan, and the cruise he was taking back to China suddenly ran into an accident.

If one put these two incidents together, then the answer was as clear as day.

It was very obvious that someone had purposely tried to kill Ye Fan!

After losing his calm for a few moments, Chu Zheng-Hong's expression immediately turned cold. He took his phone out and made a call.

"Send orders out. I want all the best martial artists of the Chu family to gather tonight at the coast of Donghai!" His low voice was completely void of emotion.
