A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1174 Number One on the Sky Ranking

"How dare the Lu and the Xur families do this! How dare they insult me! Dad, please permit me to bring men into China to slaughter those clans! They have to pay the price for humiliating the Chu family!" Inside the room, Chu Qi-Tian's furious voice boomed.

Chu Qi-Tian had never suffered such a colossal insult before.

How could they scold his ancestors and call him a bastard?

Who could swallow this?

However, Chu Qi-Tian was too young after all. In comparison, Chu Zheng-Liang didn't seem particularly upset.

He comforted him, "Qi-Tian, calm down. They are just two insignificant families. It's a piece of cake for us to destroy them. As the future leader of the Chu family, how can you get angry over ants like them? You have to focus on why this happened. These families had always treated us with respect for years. Now both of them suddenly decided to sever ties with the Chu family. There must be some reason they are doing this. Gather any information on China, especially those regarding these families, and find out why things have changed."

Since Chu Zheng-Liang was capable of taking over Chu Zheng-Hong as the head of the family, he was naturally an able man.

Amid Chu Qi-Tian's fury, he had already recognized the problem at the root.

He had a feeling that that was a bigger problem behind these actions.

Sure enough, Chu Qi-Tian hurried back ten minutes later.

"Dad, as you expected, something happened to the Lu and Xur families. Xur Jun-Lin, the leader of the Xur family, passed away and was quietly buried. Of his two sons, one was jailed while the other was suspended and demoted in the army. As for the Lu family, their entire clan was banished from Yanjing completely!"

Chu Qi-Tian reported the matter to his father anxiously.

Chu Zheng-Liang's expression immediately fell and darkened.

Chu Zheng-Liang couldn't help feeling more worried when he heard the outcome of the report.

"Why? Were you able to find out why?" asked Chu Zheng-Liang even though he had an inkling.

Chu Qi-Tian shook his head. "The channels have all been sealed. All our informants in China were incapable of finding out the details."

Chu Zheng-Liang laughed coldly. "It seems that abandoned kid has gotten to the two families alright."

"That abandoned kid?" Chu Qi-Tian's face twitched. "Dad, do you mean the trouble these families are causing have something to do with Chu Tian-Fan? But didn't you kill him at sea? Do you mean he survived?"

Chu Qi-Tian was shocked.

Although they had been investigating into Ye Fan's death since they still couldn't find any concrete proof of his death, Chu Qi-Tian felt Ye Fan was already dead. It was impossible for him to have survived that attack.

Hence, he couldn't help trembling when he heard what his father said.

Chu Zheng-Liang nodded. "Sato and the others were killed one after another. The powers I sent to Jiangdong were attacked. All signs suggest he is alive. We really underestimated him. I didn't expect him to survive. Also, he already started to retaliate so quickly. Well done. He certainly is my brother's son and has the Chu family's blood running through him."

Chu Zheng-Liang laughed coldly, but his voice sounded murderous.

"Dad, since you are certain he is alive, then give me some men so that I can enter Jiangdong in secret tomorrow and slaughter him to finish him off for good!" Chu Qi-Tian hated Ye Fan to the core.

He hated Ye Fan for his status as the first born son of the family, and also his terrifying speed of growth.

He would rather finish off this powerful opponent as soon as he could.

Or else, Chu Qi-Tian would probably end up losing sleep worrying about him.

However, Chu Zheng-Liang waved his hand and said, "We don't have to keep such a close eye on him just yet. I just got news from Chu Sect. The spirit energy fruit in the north will mature in a few days. All eyes are on it and Chu Sect has prioritized this matter. The sect leader will be back in a few days. When she returns, a meeting will be convened to decide who to send to the north."

"During this time, we shouldn't worry about handling the punk. Once everything is over, I will encircle him and kill him at all costs. Only one 'Tian' character descendant should be allowed to live, and that is you, my son!" Chu Zheng-Liang spoke deeply as his dark eyes glinted.

Chu Qi-Tian nodded in agreement with an unbridled smile on his face.

"Then I will let the country bumpkin live for a few more days. When is Master coming back? I haven't seen her for over half a year. Did anything happen to her?" asked Chu Qi-Tian somewhat worriedly. The master he was talking about was none other than the leader of the most formidable sect in the world, Chu Sect, Tang Yun!

"Did something happen?" Chu Zheng-Liang shook his head and laughed. "It seems you don't understand the sect leader's prowess. To think you are even her disciple. Have you heard of Sky Ranking? It is the most internationally recognized ranking of martial artists. Your master is number one on the ranking. Since she is first on the ranking, that makes her the most powerful martial artist in the world. Do you think anyone is capable of making trouble for her?"

Chu Zheng-Liang laughed gently.

There weren't a lot of women whom Chu Zheng-Liang admired in the world.

However, Tang Yun, the chief of Chu Sect, was certainly one of them!

All this time, Chu Zheng-Liang treated Tang Yun as his idol and lifelong ambition.

He even made his progeny treat her with the same respect and admiration.

"That's true. Master is number one on the Sky Ranking, so what could possibly happen to her? I was just too worried."

Chu Qi-Tian laughed in self-deprecation before retiring for the night.

The study reverted to silence.

The night went by quickly.

The next day, Long Bai-Chuan's flight landed at Jiangdong International Airport.

According to Ye Fan's orders, they could

go on their way after the mission was completed.

Before they parted ways, Long Bai-Chuan bowed to the man in black and said reverently, "It is my honor to be able to work with Dragon God on this mission. Now that we are saying goodbye, I wonder if I have the honor of knowing your name?"
