A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1209 Let's Speak to Instructor Chu

They couldn't have foreseen this. All those months of hard work for nothing.

They didn't fear failure or pain. They simply didn't expect to not be given a chance to prove themselves at all.

When they heard that they had been disqualified from the contest, Ye Yu-Yan and her teammates had been overcome by the sudden urge to burst into tears.

They had worked so hard and for what? All they had wanted was to prove their worth.

They now stood in the arena. Yet, what they had encountered yet again had been injustice and an unfair treatment.

Anguish, frustration and rage rose like a tsunami inside them all and threatened to pull them under.

The loss and fury that they felt now was the equal of the hopes that they had felt at first.

All the hard work that they had poured into their training had been for nothing if they couldn't participate in the contest.

They had worked so hard for this day.

An unimaginable fury swelled inside their hearts when they heard that they had been disqualified.

"Why?"

"Give me a reason!"

"We passed the assessment. You told us to draw a lot. Why have you changed your mind?"

"Besides, we've already left Jiangdong.

The Green Dragon Force has nothing to do with the Jiangdong military. Why have you banned us from participating in the contest? Why have we been disqualified?"

Tai Shan and his teammates howled in protest and fury. Li Zi-Yang's eyes had turned red with anger as he roared at the man in the arena.

"You want a reason? It's because of your insubordination and your utter lack of honor. It's because you're criminals in the eyes of the Jiangdong military. You're just a bunch of ragtag hooligans. You don't deserve to share the stage with the prodigies of our great military. We don't want to dirty our hands fighting you! Get your asses out of here!" Han Ping stepped forward and thundered at the Green Dragon Force.

Lin Qing-He had stepped forward as well. The glint of malice in his eyes shone brightly as he eyed the Green Dragon Force.

He burst into a laughter that brimmed with arrogance.

"I told you, didn't I? There's no future for traitors who betrayed the Jiangdong military. You're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Do you truly believe that you can get away with what you've done just because you have Lu Tian-He backing you? Dream on! Good-for-nothings are good-for-nothings no matter where they are. I drove you out of Jiangdong and I can do the same to you in Jiangbei!"

"It must be you! You've done something, haven't you?"

"You bastard, how could you resort to such underhanded means? That's hardly honorable at all!"

"I dare you to have the Eagles Force fight us like real soldiers!"

Ye Yu-Yan and her teammates realized what had happened instantly.

They knew why the organizing party had disqualified them and why the chief instructors of the other military camps were driving them out of Jiangbei.

Lin Qing-He had been the mastermind behind everything.

"You're not fit to fight the Eagles Force that I've personally trained! I'll be honest with you. I don't want you in this contest. I want all your efforts to go to waste. I want you burning with rage. You only have yourselves to blame. You picked the wrong master. I want you and that young punk to know the consequences of incurring my wrath and the wrath of the Jiangdong military. Run back and tell your Instructor Chu that if he wants you in this contest, he'll have to get on his knees and beg me," snarled Lin Qing-He. The thought of Ye Fan filled him with a burning rage.

Ye Fan had wrecked his plans with his arrival at the Jiangdong military.

The young man had maimed one of his friends and killed the other.

Because of Ye Fan, he had suffered Wang Dong-Sheng's beating.

He blamed Ye Fan for the thrashing that he had endured under the hands of Wang Dong-Sheng.

He hated Ye Fan with every fiber of his being and he wasn't going to let any chances to make things hard for Ye Fan slip through his fingers.

"You're a bastard!" "You despicable asshole!

"I'm going to kill you!"

The Green Dragon Force burned with rage.

They didn't care that they were in a military camp. They swung their fists and got ready to throw themselves at Lin Qing-He.

"Stop!" A thunderous voice boomed and stopped them in their tracks. Lu Tian-He had appeared and began reprimanding the Green Dragon Force. "What do you think you're doing? This is a military camp. How dare you cause a scene!"

"General Lu, they started it. They've gone too far!" cried Li Zi-Yang as he brimmed with resentment and fury.

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to step aside!" thundered Lu Tian-He.

"Why should we? They're the bullies! Why should we back down? The Green Dragon Force never backs down from a fight. Instructor Chu wouldn't let us if he were here!" Resentment had been boiling inside Tai Shan and his teammates for a very long time. They had suffered such abuse when they had been in the Jiangdong military.

That had been what had kept them going for the past few months of tireless training. They had trained so hard so that they could avenge themselves at this contest. They had not expected to suffer similar abuse and injustice in Jiangbei.

There was no way they could take this lying down.

"Don't forget what Instructor Chu told you before you left. You're to obey my orders while you're in Jiangbei. You may disrespect me, but are you going to disrespect Instructor Chu and defy his orders? I'm going to say it again. Leave!" thundered Lu Tian-He.

"But Teacher..." Anger burned in Ye Yu-Yan while tears welled up in her eyes.

"Leave and return to Yunzhou. Return to Instructor Chu," said Lu Tian-He sternly as he stopped Ye Yu-Yan from speaking further.

Wang Dong-Sheng, who had tagged along for the trip, stepped forward then.

"Yu-Yan, listen to General Lu. Let's leave and return to Yunzhou and Instructor Chu. Instructor Chu's a pillar of the nation and The Unrivalled. His authority and influence know no bounds. He'll make sure you have your justice. If you remain and cause a scene, you're just going to get yourselves into further trouble!" pleaded Wang Dong-Sheng.

The Green Dragon Force left with fury and resentment in their hearts and tears in their eyes.

Lu Tian-He stayed behind.

His eyes turned away from the horizon and landed on Lin Qing-He.

The look on his face was devoid of emotion as he stared at the other man.

"Commander Lin, do you not feel shame or remorse for bullying a group of children in this manner? Do you know how hard they've worked for this day? Do you know how much effort they have invested in this contest?" Lu Tian-He approached Lin Qing-He as he spoke.

The look on his face darkened a shade with every step he took.

The temperature around him began to drop.

"They trained day and night. Li Zi-Yang lives but a kilometer from where they trained but he hasn't gone home in months. Da-Zhuang didn't attend his grandfather's wake and instead wept as he trained. Do you know how much they'd looked forward to taking part in this contest? How about you?"
