A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1305 All Who Trespass Shall Be Killed!

"You again? Why are you still around?" Mike Jones' eyes nearly popped out when he saw Ye Fan. He was going out of his mind. This young man had been the reason for his tragic defeat after he had come across the last spirit energy fruit tree.

A grandmaster in his team had been killed then and the spirit energy fruits that he had his eyes on had fallen into Ye Fan's hands.

Mike Jones had been furious. But Ye Fan's prowess meant that he could only swallow his anger and move on.

This had been such a rare second chance for him, yet here was Ye Fan once more getting in his way. He couldn't believe it. "Are you displeased that I'm still around?"

Ye Fan stood before the cave and stared at Mike Jones with a frosty smile.

Mike Jones' lips twitched as he swallowed the harsh words that he had ready at the tip of his tongue.

The air of brazen authority around him faded considerably.

He had seen what Ye Fan was capable of. The young man wasn't to be trifled with.

Mike Jones had no doubt that Ye Fan would kill him if he provoked the latter too much and pushed him too far.

"Of course not. You're my sister's friend and that makes you my friend. I can't be happier to see you again."

Mike Jones wasn't a fool. Having realized the stakes at hand, he attempted to ingratiate himself with Ye Fan.

Even if he couldn't make a friend of Ye Fan, he could not make an enemy of Ye Fan now.

While Mike Jones was speaking, Angie had raced towards Ye Fan. How she wished she could throw herself into Ye Fan's arms. "Fan, I knew you would be here. I can't believe it. We've just separated and here we are, seeing each other again!"

They had parted only a few days ago but to Angie, it had felt like years.

She ran circles around Ye Fan in joy, skipping around like a child out at the playground.

She couldn't stop grinning at Ye Fan.

"That's right, we meet again," said Ye Fan with an indulgent smile as he patted Angie's head.

The sight of that intimate gesture darkened someone's mood.

"Can you do nothing right? There are so many of you! How did you manage to let her get loose?" Mike Jones whispered furiously at his men.

Ye Fan had killed an elder from Chu Sect and had inevitably made himself an enemy of Chu Sect.

His friendliness towards Ye Fan was only a false pretense he had put up due to circumstance.

In all honesty, he did not wish his sister to get too friendly with Ye Fan.

He didn't want her to get too involved with the man and get implicated in any way in the future.

The expression on Lv Hua and the others did not look any better.

"Damn it! What bad luck! I can't believe we bumped into this scoundrel again! Isn't he satisfied with the many spirit energy fruits that he got? Why did he turn up here?" snarled Lv Hua as he tightened his fists. His eyes were filled with venomous resentment.

Of them all, he was probably the one who hated Ye Fan the most.

Next to him, Lu Yan-Xi seemed to be experiencing a different set of emotions.

A tinge of loss and disappointment colored the jealousy that had swelled inside her when she had seen how friendly Ye Fan had been to Angie.

"If I'd been nicer to Ye Fan then, if I hadn't been so harsh to him, I could be the one standing next to him and chatting intimately with him right now. He might have shared his spirit energy fruits with me." The more Lu Yan-Xi thought about it, the more terrible she felt.

The greatest suffering one could feel wasn't the devastation of not getting what one longed for.

It was the realization that you had allowed something that could have been yours slip through your fingers through your own folly.

The pain of losing something far surpassed that of never having it in the first place.

"Yan-Xi? What's come over you? Why aren't you saying anything?" Upon realizing the absence of any reply, Lv Hua turned towards Lu Yan-Xi with a look of confusion on his face.

"It's nothing," said Lu Yan-Xi distractedly as she yanked her mind back to the present and shook her head.

Ye Fan's unexpected appearance had doused the heated passion that had overtaken everyone moments ago. With Ye Fan guarding the entrance of the cave, no one dared to approach it without someone else taking the lead. They had seen the violence that Ye Fan was capable of.

He had slaughtered a grandmaster from Chu Sect with a few punches and massacred numerous Indian martial artists with a single blow in the last fight over spirit energy fruits.

It had been a recent bloodbath and had instilled the fear of Ye Fan in everyone's hearts.

Yet, the temptation of treasure must have been too alluring. After a short moment of silence, a few of the bolder ones stepped forward and mustered a polite smile at Ye Fan.

"Mr Ye, you just stepped out of the cave. Did you see any treasure inside?"

"If you have it, could you let us have a look at it?"

"That's right! Master Ye, the energies permeating the air are rich and pure. It is clear that there's a treasure in the cave. If you've gotten it, please let us have a look and satisfy our curiosity." The rest voiced their agreement instantly.

"You're mistaken," Ye Fan replied frostily. "There's no treasure in the cave."

"Is that so?"

"No treasure?" "That's impossible. "Look at the rich energy escaping from the cave. There must be a treasure inside."

Everyone broke out into heated questions upon hearing what Ye Fan had said.

Mike Jones stepped forward then with a smile.

"Well, since Brother Ye has said so, there must be no treasure in the cave. Yet, the energy that's escaping from the cave is rich and pure. There must be a paradise hidden in that cave. Since we're here, let's not waste this chance and take a tour in the cave," suggested Mike Jones.

"That's right! It's fine if there's no treasure to be found. We'll just have a tour of the place," everyone smiled and agreed.

Despite what they had said, no one truly believed Ye Fan's words.

How could a place like this have no treasure? What a liar!

"Let's go! Let's get inside and have a look!" yelled someone amidst the crowd.

The martial artists outside the cave began heading towards the entrance.

It was then that a cold voice erupted in the air like the crash of thunder. "No one else but me shall enter the cave. All trespassers shall be killed!"

Ye Fan's thunderous declaration reverberated in the heavens. His fury swept across the sky like a furious storm and sent fear and shock rippling through everyone.
