A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1287 Just Forget About Him

"Is...is...is this still my sister?" Stunned, Mike Jones looked at his sister as though she was a stranger.

It had only been a few days but he could no longer recognize his own sister.

Lu Yan-Xi felt totally humiliated at being refuted so plainly in front of so many people.

"Where does this rude girl come from? How dare you interrupt when I am speaking to Ye Fan?" Enraged from humiliation, Lu Yan-Xi struck out against Angie.

A strong and forceful palm thrust headed towards Angie.

"No! Angie, run!" Mike Jones shouted out, aghast at the danger Angie was in.

BAM!

A low, muffled plonk followed immediately after.

A low gasp could be heard from Lu Yan-Xi as she flew outwards like a kite with a broken string.

Blood could be seen trickling from the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, Ye Fan put down the arm that he had raised earlier.

"Ye Fan, did you just hit me? Did you just hit me because of her?" Lu Yan-Xi raised her pretty face and stared at Ye Fan with an aggrieved look.

She could not believe what had just happened.

With an aura of frostiness and an expressionless face, Ye Fan looked down towards where Lu Yan-Xi was and spoke with an icy voice, "I had already told you not to think too highly of yourself. In my eyes, you are no different from the dust underneath my feet. Don't blame me for ignoring what your father has asked from me if you continue your willful ways!"

Displeasure radiated from Ye Fan as he had seemingly lost his patience with Lu

Yan-Xi.

Ye Fan already had a bad impression of Lu Yan-Xi from the start. He had always kept his distance from snobbish and haughty women like Lu Yan-Xi.

He admired people like Angie, someone with a lively personality and was simple and straightforward.

Ye Fan naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing when Lu Yan-Xi wanted to take her anger out on a young lady like Angie.

He was already showing mercy by not killing Lu Yan-Xi.

"Yan-Xi, are you alright? Where are you hurt?" Kong Ming and Lv Hua ran over. After they had helped Lu Yan-Xi up, they both turned to glare at Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, Yan-Xi is not only a lady but also your teammate and fellow citizen from China. How can you be so heartless as to hit her? Don't you forget that we belong to the same team and we are here to seek out the treasure under the orders from War God Castle. But look at what you have done instead! You have not only disregarded our fellowship, but you've even injured your teammate for the sake of an outsider! Aren't you afraid to be punished by War God Castle when you return to China?" Lv Hua's expression was grim as he shouted at Ye Fan angrily.

"Ye Fan, what are you waiting for? Give Yan-Xi a few spirit energy fruits and apologize to her. If you do this, we will not report you for injuring your teammate," said Lv Hua as he continued to glare at Ye Fan. "A few spirit energy fruits?" asked Ye Fan in return after a moment of shock.

"What? Do you think our request is unreasonable? You just gave an outsider three of the fruits. We are on the same team and we're your comrades, so shouldn't we each get two of the fruits at the very least? You're not thinking of keeping them all for yourself, are you?" Lv Hua spoke as though it was a given for Ye Fan to share the fruits with them.

"That's right, Fan. Lv Hua is right. We are comrades and teammates, and we had put in hard work even if we cannot claim any of the credit for finding the treasure. You can't be keeping all the fruits to yourself, Kong Ming echoed the same sentiments as Lv Hua.

Lu Yan-Xi raised her head and looked towards Ye Fan as well. Her expression was filled with desire and greed.

Ye Fan laughed as though he had just heard a joke. "You guys have finally said what you really wanted. Lu Yan-Xi, all the sweet-talking that you did earlier was for the spirit energy fruits, wasn't it? You guys are right though, we are comrades in the same team and we serve the same country. It does make sense to share the fruits with you guys."

"Haha! Fan, it is great that you think the same. I have always known that you are a reasonable man," Kong Ming said with a laughter. He believed that they had convinced Ye Fan to share the spirit energy fruits.

Lv Hua and the rest quickly walked over to Ye Fan for the fruits in their excitement.

Lv Hua had barely walked near to where Ye Fan was when the latter kicked him and sent him rolling on the ground. It took several rolls on the ground before Lv Hua managed to stop himself. "Ye Fan, you asshole! Don't you go too far in bullying me!" Lv Hua yelled at Ye Fan angrily as he stood up.

Ye Fan replied with a smirk, "I'm not finished yet. What I meant to say was, yes, it's true that I should be sharing the fruits with you guys based on the reasons you brought up. But you guys seem to have forgotten that I have already been kicked out of the team. You guys were the ones who said you would have nothing more to do with my life or death. But once I obtained the spirit energy fruits, you suddenly want to be comrades and teammates with me again? How shameless can you guys be?"

Ye Fan's low voice carried forth a force that created gusts of wind in the

rainforest.

Ye Fan looked at Kong Ming before continuing, "I can still understand if the two of them are not ashamed of themselves despite all that they had done. But shouldn't an elder like you know better? And you still have the cheek to ask me for a share of the fruits? Have you lived so long for nothing?"

Ye Fan lambasted Kong Ming in particular for his shamelessness.

Kong Ming turned red with embarrassment as remorse and dread filled his heart. No words came even as he opened his mouth in an attempt to speak.

The faces of Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua were also red from embarrassment as they hung their heads low, not daring to speak further.

They were too embarrassed to say more.

Ye Fan might have been harsh with his words, but what he said were all facts.

He would have shared the fruits with them if they had shown some respect for him.

These fruits were not very useful to him anyway.

It was just too bad that these people discriminated against him and had tried to humiliate him whenever they had the chance.

They were still alive only because Ye Fan could not be bothered with them.

What Ye Fan did not expect was their total lack of shame. He couldn't believe that they still dared to ask him for the spirit energy fruits.

If shamelessness was a special power, these people would be invincible!

"Get out of here!" With a shout of anger from Ye Fan, the three turned and quickly left the place.

They had seen Ye Fan's prowess and were worried that Ye Fan would kill them in a fit of anger.

The matter came to an end as Lv Hua and the rest left.

It was time for Ye Fan to leave as well.

Before leaving, Ye Fan smiled at Angie and said, "I'm leaving now, young lady. Don't forget what you promised me. I'll come back for it one of these days."

His clear laughter reverberated around the rainforest and only his lean back could be seen as he left the place.

"Fan..." Angie felt sad with Ye Fan's sudden leaving and was about to run after him when Mike Jones stopped her.

"Angie, stop being willful and come back home with me! It is best if you do not see him in future. Just forget about him." Rating the Translation Will Gain Two Pearls.
