A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1173 Chu Qi-Tian's Shock

"That's odd. Why isn't anyone from the Xur family answering? How dare they!"

Chu Qi-Tian flew into a rage because no one had picked up his call. He secretly decided to find a chance to teach them a lesson in the future.

Chu Qi-Tian called the Lu family instead when the Xur family didn't answer for a long time.

"Hmm? How dare the Lu family ignore me too?"

Chu Qi-Tian frowned angrily.

"Keep calling. Call until they answer!"

Chu Zheng-Liang detected something amiss. His deep voice sounded faintly pissed.

Chu Qi-Tian went on calling repeatedly.

Just as he was about to give up and send someone to China, the phone got through.

"Lu Cang-Qiong, how dare you! How dare you ignore my phone call? Do you think you have the power to oppose the Chu family? Let's not forget that the Lu family only got to enjoy such success because of our support!" scolded Chu Qi-Tian the moment someone answered the phone.

All along, the Lu and Xur clans were like subordinates to Chu Qi-Tian. Since they were affiliated to the Chu family, they ought to do as the Chu family said.

Chu Qi-Tian was naturally furious that Lu Cang-Qiong had the guts to not answer his call.

However, the man on the phone said nothing after Chu Qi-Tian scolded him.

"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you a mute or something?" scolded Chu Qi-Tian angrily.

"I suppose you are Young Master Chu?" asked a deep voice through the phone.

Chu Qi-Tian froze when he heard this voice. "Wait! You're not Lu Cang-Qiong. Who are you?"

"Where is Lu Cang-Qiong? Tell Lu Cang-Qiong to answer the phone!"

Lu Cang-Qiong had always been the main point of contact for the Chu family.

After all, Lu Cang-Qiong was the patriarch of the family and was the eldest as well as the most respected member of the family. In the entire family, only Lu Cang-Qiong had the right to speak to the Chu family.

The rest of them were unfit to communicate with them.

Hence, Chu Qi-Tian instantly demanded Lu Cang-Qiong come to the phone when he realized it wasn't him.

"My father is sick, so I'm now the head of the family," said Lu He coldly through the phone.

"Is Lu Cang-Qiong your father? You must be his eldest son, Lu He, right? Fine. Since you are the head of the clan now that Lu Cang-Qiong is getting on his age, you will be the Chu family's main point of contact from now on. Listen up. I told both your families to enter Jiangdong. How are things going for that? Have you eradicated all of that so-called Mr Chu's powers? Did you manage to find the man I was looking for?" asked Chu Qi-Tian coldly in a lofty tone.

However, Lu He ignored Chu Qi-Tian and said, "Young Master Chu, I really didn't want to answer the phone at first. Now that I have, let me make things clear. I don't know what you gave my father back in the day or how many favors you have granted my family. But my family has done so many things for you all these years. Regardless of our debt to you, we have paid for everything by now. From now on, in the name of the Lu family as the head of the family, I hereby declare that we will sever ties with the Chu family. You are on your own. We will never contact each other again!"

BAM!

Lu He sounded swift and decisive.

His deep, firm voice came off as resounding as gold falling on the ground.

Chu Qi-Tian was so shocked that he opened his eyes wide.

"What did you just say? Are you going to betray the Chu family? How dare you! Do you know what the consequences of betrayal are? Are you really going to..."

Lu He ignored him and hung up once he was done talking.

He severed the decades-long relationship between the Lu and Chu families with a click of the phone.

Lu He had already decided that the Lu family would neither be controlled by someone else nor be connected with the Chu family.

Regardless of how powerful the Chu family was, Ye Fan was equally threatening.

Just like how a county office could never compare to the highest office of the land, in comparison to Chu family, who resided overseas, Ye Fan was undoubtedly a more immediate threat. Lu He had a feeling that Ye Fan and the Chu family had a vendetta between them.

Otherwise, the Chu family wouldn't have taken all the effort to send both their families to Jiangdong and make trouble for Ye Fan.

When gods are at war, commoners became cannon fodder.

The outcome of the Lu family was the best example.

Even though the family merely suffered some damage to their reputation, Lu He was keenly aware that catastrophe would befall them if they didn't sever ties with the Chu family.

The fury of the Unrivalled Grandmaster wasn't something the Lu family could withstand.

Chu Qi-Tian became even angrier when Lu He hung up on him.

"How dare the Lu family do this! I think they have enjoyed a good life for far too long. Now they're tired of living," said Chu Qi-Tian viciously.

His phone rang again.

Chu Qi-Tian looked at it and saw it was a call from the Xur family.

"Perfect timing. I want to ask Xur Jun-Lin and see what on earth happened to their family. How could they suddenly have such audacity?" thought Chu Qi-Tian before he picked up the phone.

"Is it Xur Jun-Lin? How dare you ignore my call?" questioned Chu Qi-Tian the moment he answered the phone.

"Is this Young Master Chu?"

The caller asked if he was Chu Qi-Tian, just like Lu He did.

Chu Qi-Tian was stunned for a moment because he noticed that the voice didn't belong to the head of the Xur family, Xur Jun-Lin either.

"Where is Xur Jun-Lin? Is he sick too?" said

Chu Qi-Tian unhappily.

"Sick my ass! Fuck you and all your ancestors! If it weren't for you, would my son Shao-Hua and father have died?

Would my brother have gone to jail? Would all three generals in the family end up in this predicament? Fuck you! The Xur family ended up like this thanks to a bastard like you!" Xur Hai-Sheng's eyes turned red as he scolded Chu Qi-Tian furiously over the phone.

Chu Qi-Tian was stunned.

He was incapable of composing himself for a long time.

When Chu Qi-Tian realized how insulting Xur Hai-Sheng had been, the culprit had already hung up.

Chu Qi-Tian finally realized why someone called back even though no one answered when he first called the Xur family.

It sounded like this man had specially called back just to curse him!
