610 The Wang Familys Surprise (1/2)

America!

The name cast a spell that silenced everyone. It was a name that belonged to the overlord of the earth.

The Wang family might not know Lin Shuming, Damon, or the Dark World Arbitration Department, because they were not from the Dark World. If they weren't related to Chen Fan, they wouldn't even try to meet him.

However, the United States of America was a different story.

It was a country that had influence everywhere. Their one hundred or so military bases covered the entire globe. Every nation, or major families lived under the shadow of the international behemoth.

Therefore, no one believed that Chen Fan could have defeated the U.S.

”It's Impossible, Grandpa. The U.S. is the world's police, why would it bow to one man?” Wang Chen said before Wang Ben could say anything.

The other members of the Wang family shared his shock and disbelief, including the old granny.

The old granny was over eighty years old and her stubbornness only increased with her age. She didn't buy any of it when she heard about Chen Fan's feats such as the Living legends and about killing a sage. She thought it was bull***t. Nonetheless, she was shocked when she heard the news.

”Grandpa, why haven't I heard anything about it?” Wang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Wang Zhongguo shook his head and said, ”That's because the United States of America has blocked all the news. We're not from the Underground World, so we wouldn't know.”

As a global superpower, the United States of America would never swallow the pain of being defeated. Although it wouldn't bring Chen Fan down, it was still capable of stopping the flow of information. By then, the news was only circulating on the FBI's private server.

”Dad, there is a limit to a man's capability. Chen Fan is only twenty two years old, and even if he started cultivating as soon as he was born, it's still farfetched to think that he could defeat America,” Wang Kefeng said in disbelief.

The other members of the Wang family were also perplexed by the situation.

They didn't dare to question the Old man, but neither could they come to terms with Chen Fan's power.

”Chen Fan didn't defeat the United States of America, he forced the nation to back down.” Wang Zhongguo tapped the floor with his cane and told everyone about Chen Fan's achievements overseas.

The room became completely silent when they heard that Chen Fan had destroyed three aircraft carriers and obliterated an entire island.

To them, aircraft carriers were invincible.

The United States of America had eleven aircraft carriers; thanks to that, they could launch an assault at any country in the world. To destroy an island under the threat of being attacked by aircraft carriers was unbelievable.

”He is.. No… it's impossible. Someone must have exaggerated the facts,” Wang Keshan exclaimed.

He wanted to say that it was bull***t, but he didn't dare to call out the Old man, so he rephrased his comment.

”Director Xiao from the Special Case Departments told me personally,” Wang Zhongguo said slowly.

Wang Keqin's face became serious when he heard Director Xiao's name.

The Special Case Departments had a much higher status in the government system than any other department, making Director Xiao a formidable force in Yan Jin. No one would question his words.

”He can destroy an island? He is almost as powerful as a nuclear bomb.”

Wang Keqin and the others looked at one another in fear.

They didn't know how powerful Chen Fan was, and therefore they didn't respect him. However, hearing that he was as powerful as nuclear weapons had put things into perspective for them.

Even the thought of Chen Fan's power gave Wang Chen the chills.

Wang Hao and Wang Ben both gaped in disbelief. They felt as if they were listening to an overblown fiction story.

”Therefore, under no circumstances should you mess with Chen Fan. Make sure you're on his good side and treat him as one of us,” Old Man Wang said in a deep voice.

The other members of the family nodded in agreement, but the scowl on their faces betrayed their true thoughts.

They admitted that Chen Fan was powerful, but so was the Wang family. They might not want to provoke Chen Fan, but they could at least avoid him. Asking them to kiss Chen Fan's a** really didn't sit well with them.

”Humph! Do you really think I want to ask Chen Fan over? I wouldn't have to do this if any of you were half as powerful as he is!” The Old Lord Wang snorted.

”Our family is on the brink of becoming irrelevant. Do you think the Xiao family, the Li family and the Qin family are going to treat you nicely once I pass away? All that I have built up over the years is going to go down the drain once you guys take over. I am the only person that has kept our competitors at bay!”

Then, the old man heaved a sigh.

He wouldn't need to cozy up to Chen Fan if the Wang family was on the right track.

None amongst the second generation of the Wang family was fit to lead the clan. Wang Chen was the most competent heir among the third generation, but it would still be another twenty to thirty years before he could really take on the responsibility.

The old man's scolding rubbed the others the wrong way.

Wang Keqin and Wang Kefeng's faces were awash with displeasure. They felt looked down upon by their own father.

Grandma Xue Hongmei broke her silence, ”I think Keqin and Kefen are doing a great job. Plus, it would still take one or two decades before we have to really worry about your health. Why do we have to kiss that little sh*t's a**? I don't like his face!”

Wang Hao and Wang Ben agreed. Although Wang Chen had kept his silence, a flicker of pride flashed in his eyes.

”Fine, fine. Maybe I am overthinking.”

Wang Zhongguo shook his head.
