A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1301 Are You Telling Me What to Do?
After a long moment of deliberation, Mike Jones decided to take a further look.
"If some rare and precious treasure does appear, we'll just make a grab for it. It'll be easier to answer to the bosses that way." Mike Jones couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After all, his sister's friendship with Ye Fan had been the only reason why he wasn't returning empty-handed from this mission. Regardless, he had not completed the mission perfectly and would definitely face rebuke when he returned to the sect.
This was a chance for Mike Jones to redeem himself. He wasn't going to let it slip through his fingers.
Mike Jones led the remaining group of martial artists from Chu Sect and ventured deeper into the rainforest.
"Young Master, what about Young Mistress? Do we send her home or bring her along?" one of his men asked then.
Currently, Angie was being watched by a few of his men and could only move freely within a small radius of a few meters. Around her stood martial artists who kept watch over her and who were afraid that thei Young Mistress would run off again.
"Mike, I want to come along as well. Bring me along. I promise to do everything you say and not make you mad," yelled Angie when she heard the question Mike's man had asked. She scrunched her face up into a sorry look as she pleaded with her brother.
"In your dreams! You devious imp, I know what you're thinking. You'll try to find a chance to run. I spent a lot of work catching you. I'm not going to let you run off again!" Mike Jones was unmoved. He barked an order to his men. "The few of you over there, instead of following me into the rainforest, you shall bring her back to the hotel. Keep an eye on her. We'll decide on what to do next when I return." "Yes, Young Master," replied the men immediately.
Angie was displeased when she heard that.
"Mike, I don't want to be left behind on my own. I want to come along with you! Let me! If you don't, I'll never talk to you ever again. Besides, do you really think they can keep me in the hotel? Just wait and see With you gone, I'll find a way to slip out," Angie protested and taunted her brother when she realized that her pleas had fallen on deaf ears.
"You!" His sister was driving him mad.
He couldn't afford to take his eyes off her for one second!
"Young Master, I believe Young Mistress can be allowed to join us. You'll be able to keep watch over Young Mistress and prevent her from escaping. Should we be so unfortunate as to run into that Chinese young man again, she would come in useful then," whispered the old man who had been by Mike Jones' side at this while.
Mike Jones' face darkened instantly.
"Are you suggesting that we might bump into that jerk again? He snatched so many spirit energy fruits! He's probably left the Amazon rainforest ages ago. There's no way we'll run into him again!" Mike Jones both hated and feared Ye Fan.
Amongst the many martial artists lurking in the rainforest, Ye Fan was the one whom he hoped never to run into again.
He wanted to stay as far away from that man as possible!
If he had known that he would run into Ye Fan, he swore that he would have sat this mission out.
"There's no need to worry, Young Master. This is just a precautionary measure. I too, believe that Ye Fan has left the rainforest and returned to his country with his spirit energy fruits some time ago." No one could fault them for thinking so.
Any ordinary person in the possession of numerous treasures would be seized by the desire to return to the safety of their country as soon as they could.
After all, they had a target painted on their backs. Every martial artist would be coveting their treasure.
It was just a matter of time before they got an arrow in their back.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan was no ordinary man. Common sense and reason did not apply to men like him.
They would find out soon enough.
Upon hearing his man's advice, Mike Jones nodded in agreement.
"You're right. We should play safe. Let's bring Angie along with us then. Who knows? She might come in useful."
"Yes! Thanks, Mike! I love you so much! You're the best!" Angie jumped into the air in excitement when she saw her brother's nod. She wished she could leap right into his arms to express how happy she was. "You silly girl, you've always been such a troublemaker since you were a kid. This is just a treasure hunt. Look at you, getting so excited over it!" sighed Mike Jones as he shook his head and smiled in mild exasperation.
They had no idea that Angie wasn't excited because of the thrill of the hunt but because she knew that she had another chance to see her Fan again.
The others might believe that Ye Fan had returned home with his bounty, but Angie didn't share their views.
Based on her understanding of Ye Fan, he wouldn't let any opportunity to find more treasure escape him.
As Mike Jones and his men headed deeper into the rainforest, some distance away from them was a river. A man stood at its bank.
He had a stern look on his face and a dispassionate look in his eyes. An air of intimidating authority surrounded him.
He was like a forbidding mountain towering above the plains.
Kneeling reverently at his feet were numerous injured men.
If Lv Hua and his people were here, they would have recognized these men. They were the Indian martial artists whom Ye Fan had fought and injured severely.
"Are you telling me that a Chinese man by the name of Ye Fan thrashed all of you and claimed a large share of the spirit energy fruits? I have not heard of a grandmaster with that last name." The man standing frowned in mild puzzlement.
"Our lord, we speak the truth!"
"Yes, it's the absolute truth!"
"Without that troublemaker, we would have gotten the spirit energy fruits."
"He killed two of our comrades during battle." "We were lucky to survive. He could have massacred us all."
"Our lord, please avenge us!"
"Please kill him and reclaim the spirit energy fruits."
Reilo and the rest pleaded at the man's feet.
Their words were filled with hate and resentment for Ye Fan.
The man only nodded.
"So, he's called Ye Fan. I'll remember that name and deal with him if the opportunity presents itself. There is something important that I have to attend to in the meantime. All of you good-for-nothings should get your asses back to India."
"My lord, please kill Ye Fan as soon as possible before he leaves South America and returns to China. That'd be akin to releasing the tiger back into the wild. He'll become a dangerous threat to the Indian martial arts circle in the future. Despite his youth, he's already a grandmaster. He'll definitely grow to become a supreme grandmaster in thirty years' time. We should get rid of him while he's still young and has not reached his full potential!" Reilo said anxiously when he realized that the man standing before him appeared not to regard Ye Fan as the threat that the latter truly was.
The man frowned while the look on his face turned as cold as ice. "Are you telling me what to do?"
