A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1356 I...I Wouldn't Dare To

A young man stood beneath the sky with an authoritative aura around him.

The dead bodies of grandmasters were strewn around him, and a supreme grandmaster was kneeling before him.

His body was bent over and his knees were in the ground.

The earth had split open when the Persian King, Gaia, had fallen to his knees.

Spiderweb looking crack lines spread in all directions from his knees.

At the same time, the loud and ominous thud of his knees hitting the ground resonated loudly, sending tremors through everyone's hearts.

Chu Qi-Tian was flabbergasted at this scene. His eyes widened and he stared at all this in disbelief.

"P-Persian King! What are you doing? You're a supreme grandmaster and a martial artist on the Sky Ranking! Why are you kneeling to this lowly young fellow from the village? Are you nuts?!" Chu Qi- Tian yelled uncontrollably.

He wasn't the only flabbergasted one. Brahma was equally baffled and there was shock in his eyes.

"Gaia, what the hell are you even doing?! One should not kneel so easily! How could you kneel before him?! You're going to become a laughingstock at this rate! Get up!!" said Brahma both angrily and anxiously.

But there was no way Gaia could hear anything Brahma and Chu Qi-Tian were saying.

The only person he could see now was Ye Fan.

He no longer looked upon Ye Fan murderously or with disdain. He now looked at Ye Fan with reverence and fear.

Gaia had finally accepted the fact that Ye Fan was indeed that man.

He would never forget the skinny silhouette of that man when his life was hanging by a thread.

That the first and only time Gaia had met that man.

But that one chance meeting made Gaia follow him for the rest of his life.

That man had changed his life completely.

If he hadn't met that man, the name Gaia would have been buried in some wasteland and died at the knife of an enemy long ago.

There would have been no way he would have become a supreme grandmaster or entered the Sky Ranking.

That man had not only saved him, but also groomed him for greater things.

That was why that man had taken such an important position in Gaia's heart all these years.

He was grateful to this benefactor, but also believed, worshipped and followed him like his god and teacher.

But that was also why Gaia had been so surprised and disbelieving when he found out that the person he had revered so greatly turned out to be a young man who was so much younger than himself. He had always thought that Ye Fan was an authoritative and respectable elderly person.

Ye Fan was nowhere near what he had imagined, so it took him a long time to accept this reality.

Gaia had seen Ye Fan back then, but he was on the brink of death and his vision was fuzzy.

All he remembered was a blurry and skinny silhouette.

He didn't know what Ye Fan looked like at all.

Thereafter, all communication went through Han.

Even his learning and training of Mountain Breaking Landslide was taught by Ye Fan remotely. The two never met physically again after that first time.

At the same time, Gaia looked nothing like how pathetic and broken he was when he met Ye Fan for the first time, so Ye Fan didn't recognize him either.

Besides, Ye Fan had so many people working for him, so even if they had seen each other once or twice, Ye Fan couldn't remember them all.

If Gaia had not displayed Mountain Breaking Landslide, Ye Fan wouldn't have recognized him.

This was a result of delegating the work to everyone else all the time.

Besides the few who came into frequent contact with Ye Fan, he wasn't able to recognize most of the people he had groomed over the past ten years even if they stood right in front of him. "Dragon Master, I...I..." Gaia was frightened to pieces after finding out who Ye Fan really was and even his voice was trembling as he knelt with a terrified expression on his face.

He had nearly caused the death of Ye Fan before this.

His heart was filled with guilt and self-reproach. He wasn't sure if he was too scared or feeling too guilty, but Gaia didn't dare to meet Ye Fan's eye when he spoke.

Ye Fan snorted coldly when he heard Gaia address him. He stood with his hands behind his back and an icy look in his eyes.

"So, you still remember that I'm your Dragon Master. I thought that after you became a supreme grandmaster and got a position in the Sky Ranking, you would want to strike out on your own and disown this Dragon Master of yours," spat Ye Fan coldly. He was clearly very angry.

"I...I wouldn't dare to," replied Gaia fearfully.

"You wouldn't dare?" Ye Fan let out a laugh. "You even dared to kill me. What would you not dare to do?"

Ye Fan's fierce shout made Gaia bow his head even lower in fear. He was too terrified and guilty to speak anymore.

But Ye Fan had more to say.

"Gaia, do you still remember who saved you at such a great cost? Do you remember who helped you to wipe out all your enemies? And who taught you such a special technique? And who was the one who helped you to breakthrough to supreme grandmaster level and become part of the Sky Ranking?"

"I gave you glory, strength, made you a supreme grandmaster and allowed you to enjoy tremendous power. But what did you do? You ganged up with others to ambush me. You tried to kill me more than once. You ungrateful thing! Do you know the wrong you have done?" Ye Fan's furious voice resounded like thunder.

Every question he asked pierced Gaia's heart.

His righteous and burning words continued to blast in the air.

Gaia's face was all red from being questioned. He had no answers for Ye Fan.

He was a muscular man who stood at nearly two meters tall, but he now looked like a child who had just gotten into trouble.

His head was bowed, his waist was bent and he looked like he wished he could bury himself in the ground.

After a long time, Gaia's fearful and trembling voice could finally be heard. "Dragon... Dragon Master, your servant knows his mistake. Your servant was blind and ended up offending you. I have committed a terrible crime and I deserve death. Dragon Master, please punish me in any way you want, I will accept anything you do to me without any complaint," said Gaia in a miserable voice as he kowtowed continuously to Ye Fan to apologize.

His words were filled with both fear and guilt.

Even if Ye Fan could forgive him, he couldn't forgive himself for nearly helping someone else to kill his own benefactor and the person he idolized so much.

Meanwhile, Chu Qi-Tian and Brahma were completely mortified as they watched Gaia grovel at Ye Fan's feet. They still couldn't figure out what on earth was happening.

"Gaia, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about? What Dragon Master? Whose servant are you? Are you nuts? You're a supreme grandmaster, so everyone is more than willing to call you their master! Who has the right to make you their servant? Don't be fooled by this young punk!"

"Get up! Hurry up! Let's join forces and kill off this youngster! Come on! Join hands with me and we'll kill him together!" yelled Brahma as he continued to announce his intention to kill Ye Fan. "Join forces? Join forces my ass! Brahma, you've really gotten me into trouble this time, you asshole!"
