A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1057 Return of the King

Those words were so frosty, the authoritativeness in them sent chills down everyone's spine.

Everyone immediately felt like they had just fallen into an icy abyss.

"Who...who is that?"

"Who is it?"

This voice from nowhere shocked everyone.

But Chen Ao's heart immediately skipped a beat.

"This voice...could it be...could it be...?!"

In that instant, an insane idea immediately flooded Chen Ao's heart.

"No, it can't be him. Nannan said she watched the flames engulf him. I'm overthinking it. I'm just overthinking it." Chen Ao quickly suppressed the thought in his heart.

He clenched his fists and shook his head profusely as he chanted this to himself repeatedly.

BOOM!

A blast was finally heard.

The building trembled and tiny broken pieces of concrete were sent flying.

Everyone watched on in fear and horror as they saw the wall behind them instantly crumble.

It felt as though a demon had opened its gigantic mouth wide and took a bite of the wall. A dark hole the size of a human suddenly appeared in the wall.

A skinny figure stood in the middle of that hole.

A shadow was cast on his face, so it was impossible to see what he looked like.

But those sinister and icy eyes seemed to belong to a demon living in the lowest levels of hell, and was looking straight at all of them right now.

He didn't need to say anything.

Everyone felt like their souls leave their bodies just by watching him stand there.

"Oh. My. God."

"What the..."

Everyone felt like they were about to pee their pants.

This was the highest floor of Haiyuan Restaurant.

This place was at least 20 or 30 meters above ground.

In other words, this person had literally flown up this height and smashed through the wall to get here!

"Is this guy...even human?!"

"He's got to be a monster!"

The entire ballroom was in a panic.

Even though these men were all big shots and were of the highest standing within their own city, they were just ordinary folks who had no superpowers. They had never seen anything so terrifying before.

Now that they were staring at a man who must have flown up several meters and broke a hole through a wall to get here, they felt as if everything they knew about the world was a lie.

"You...you...who are you?! How dare you barge into Haiyuan Restaurant and pretend to be someone great?" Lu Ming-Feng's expression was equally pale.

This was the first time he was seeing such a scary scene too.

This person had suddenly appeared this high up a building. He must be a ghost of sorts.

Even Wei Wu-Ya would have found it difficult to manage such a feat despite being a grandmaster.

But now someone capable of doing this had actually appeared here just like that. It was only normal for Lu Ming-Feng to be completely terrified out of his wits. But even though he was so terrified inside, he still tried to ask this intruder who he was.

However, that person did not reply Lu Ming-Feng.

He just looked up and set a foot into Haiyuan Restaurant.

The minute he stepped into the restaurant, his face was revealed to everyone in the ballroom and the entire place fell completely silent.

Everyone was rooted to the floor and it felt like time suddenly stood still.

The entire world was covered with a deathly silence.

HUU...

An icy wind continued to gust in from outside the restaurant.

It blew through the hole behind the man and filled the entire ballroom.

In that instant, everyone shuddered. But it was not from the temperature of the wind.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the man before them, as if they had all seen a ghost. "Mr...Mr Chu?!"

Indeed, the skinny young man before them was Ye Fan!

The true king had returned to make sure that every subject who dared to rebel against him perished!

"Are you...are you really...really...Mr Chu?"

"How...how can this be?" Chen Ao shuddered violently. He wasn't sure if he was shuddering from shock or from fright. The man who once ruled over Jiangdong himself actually started shaking. The rest were even worse off compared to Chen Ao.

"No...no...this can't be, you're already dead! How can you still be alive?!" Xia Yue shrieked hysterically with reddened eyes.

Baldy Liu couldn't even get a single word out of his mouth because he was too frightened.

His mouth was wide open and he just pointed a finger in Ye Fan's direction as he looked like a chicken being strangled. He felt like he was only able to exhale air but unable to inhale any. His heart was filled with nothing but horror.

Chen Ao and the rest couldn't believe it at all. Ye Fan had disappeared for more than a month and had supposedly died in Japanese waters. But he was standing before them now. Everyone had only one question left in their minds.

Was Ye Fan a human or a ghost?

But while everyone else was still wondering about this, Li Er and the others half beaten on the floor caught sight of Ye Fan too.

This moment felt like travelers in the night seeing the break of dawn arrive.

Or like someone who was drowning in the water and finally found something to help him keep afloat.

The light at the end of the tunnel could finally be seen.

There were no words to describe how Li Er and the rest who remained loyal to Ye Fan felt right now.

They felt like they were heavily wounded warriors who were losing a battle, and their king had come back to fight for them at the very last moment.

The three men immediately started bawling when they saw Ye Fan.

"Mr Chui! I just knew that you hadn't died! I knew you were definitely still alive! You're so formidable, I was sure you wouldn't

perish so easily!"

"Mr Chu, it was so hard waiting for you to return! Do you know how messy

Jiangdong has become while you weren't around? It's a complete mess!"

Li Er's words were filled with sorrow and misery as warm tears flowed down his cheeks.

He was already in his forties, but he was wailing away like a baby in front of Ye Fan.

Lei San and Wang Jie-Xi were a little less emotional, but there were tears on their face as well.

They thought they were really going to die today.

But now, the king they had been waiting for had finally returned!

They weren't going to die after all.

They felt as if all their hard work had finally paid off.

The three of them endured the terrible pain in their bodies, grit their teeth and dragged themselves over to kneel at Ye Fan's feet.

"Mr Chu, we were useless and weren't able to protect Mufan Group, Miss Qiu, nor all of Jiangdong for you. We were the ones who disappointed you! Mr Chu, please punish us!" said Lei San in a loud and clear voice even though he was beaten very badly and bleeding all over.

Li Er and Wang Jie-Xi also knelt and bowed before Ye Fan.

"We were useless and we've disappointed the trust and hopes that Mr Chu had for us. Mr Chu, please punish us!"

"Mr Chu, please punish us!"

Their voices were like muffled thunder as it reverberated through the entire ballroom as well as everyone's heartstrings.

Everyone else in the ballroom had pale looks on their faces.

All the fear and terror they used to have for the great Mr Chu of Jiangdong had returned to them.

Who the hell was the one who said Ye Fan was dead?!

He was clearly still alive!!

Everyone's heart immediately sank.

They all looked at one another and clearly had no idea what to do now.

Were they supposed to continue acknowledging Ye Fan as their leader or support the new leader instead?

Chen Ao had an even more ghastly expression on his face. He bowed his head and remained silent. He didn't even dare to look up at Ye Fan.

"So you're that Mr Chu? That asshole who's nothing but a young punk?"
