A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1367 Hand Over the Treasure

"Ye Fan had taken all the spirit energy fruits for himself. Besides, so many supreme grandmasters had gathered on that island. Why? It's obvious that there's a very precious treasure inside the cave that has made all the supreme grandmasters go wild for! If a spirit energy fruit is able to increase our chances of becoming a grandmaster, then the treasure on the island is very likely to help all of us become supreme grandmaster," Reilo continued to stoke the crowd with his provoking words inside the pub.

Many people started getting riled up as a result.

The previously terrified look in everyone's eyes as they looked at Ye Fan slowly became a burning gaze.

Nobody could remain unmoved when faced with the possibility of attaining great treasure.

Furthermore, this treasure could possibly help them to become supreme grandmasters.

A supreme grandmaster was the highest level one could go in the martial arts world.

Everybody wanted to become a grandmaster in order to be acknowledged as a good fighter, but everyone wanted to become a supreme grandmaster because they would become the religion and deity to the people around them.

And now, the road to becoming a deity was right in front of them.

It was difficult for anybody to remain calm now.

Even if they only stood a slim chance, they weren't going to let it go.

When Reilo spotted the increasingly tense and excited atmosphere, a smug smile immediately surfaced on his lips.

But not everyone here was stupid.

In fact, most of them knew what Reilo was hoping for.

They knew that these Indian martial artists wanted to make use of them to get rid of Ye Fan.

But so what?

They stood to benefit from Ye Fan's death too.

So even though they knew that this was Reilo's plan to kill Ye Fan, they didn't mind going along with it.

What they wanted was the treasure that Ye Fan had.

"But Reilo, how do you know if the treasure is really on this boy? What if it has been taken away by the lady who was travelling with him?" asked someone who was still able to think logically.

Reilo didn't pretend to be sure and confessed, "You're right. I'm not 100% certain myself. But we can't always be certain about everything in the world. I can't promise that there's treasure on this Chinese boy. But I can guarantee you that if we just stand here and let him leave our sight, we won't get anything." His voice was firm and valiant sounding.

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides, as all of you can see, the young man is badly injured and he's no longer as powerful as he was. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. As long as all of us combine our efforts to attack him, I'm sure we'll be able to kill him in no time."

"Everyone, are all of you really willing to let go of this rare opportunity that's right in front of you? Isn't anybody willing to take a gamble with me? If this works out, then in a few decades' time, you might very well be ranked on the Sky Ranking. Even if it doesn't work out, we won't lose anything either. In fact, we'll successfully pare down China's martial arts prowess. That's not a bad thing for our own martial arts circle."

"So whether we make it or not, none of us here stands to lose anything. It's now up to all of you to decide whether you want to actually do this together with me," said Reilo in a low voice as he looked at everyone around him with a fire in his eyes.

Everyone fell silent for a moment and nobody said anything as they weighed the pros and cons of cooperating with Reilo.

"Screw it, I'm doing it! You can't get rich if you don't work for it. I'm going all out for that treasure!"

"You're right! We should all just join hands and kill that fellow together."

A couple of voices suddenly called out within the crowd. If one looked carefully, one would have noticed that these instigating voices actually belonged to the Indian martial artists with Reilo who had quietly hidden themselves in the crowd.

The moment someone publicly displayed his support, a lot more people started to display their support as well.

In no time, everyone in the pub was willing to join in the fight.

"You're right! There are so many of us, so why should we be afraid of one young man? He's already so badly injured, so he's no longer a threat. If he refuses to hand the treasures over, then all of us can just finish him off on the spot."

Everyone eventually agreed to surround Ye Fan and force him to give up the treasures he had on hand.

"Hoho! Bro, we did it! Didn't we do a good job? If we didn't voice out our support first, I don't think these fellows would have made such a quick decision to join us, right?" said Reilo's companions gleefully when they saw that everyone was playing right into their hands.

Reilo had a gleeful and sinister smile on his face too.

"Ye Fan, you're doomed this time. If I can destroy a supreme grandmaster personally, then I'm going to be able to brag about this for the rest of my life!" Reilo looked smug and confident that he was going to win this fight for sure.

Once everyone had reached a decision, Reilo led all of them out of the pub. They blocked Ye Fan's way and surrounded him tightly.

When he felt the murderous gazes of all the other martial artists, Ye Fan also stopped walking.

He stood all by himself in the middle, and his bloodied body looked so tired and lonely.

He looked like a defeated general who had been cornered by his enemies.

He looked up and stared at the person who stood right in front of him with an icy gaze.

Reilo looked back with a sinister and murderous expression.

"Ye Fan, I'm sure you didn't expect us to meet again. But heaven is on my side! You killed so many of my fellow Indian martial artists, so the gods sent you to me so that I can avenge my dead brothers. But I seriously can't believe you actually managed to survive that brutal attack by the Indra."

Upon seeing Ye Fan again, Reilo looked down disdainfully at the injured youth before him with a lofty and arrogant attitude. His malicious laughter was uninhibited and relaxed. The thought of getting his revenge made Reilo very happy indeed.

"Enough of these unnecessary words, Reilo! Get to the main point! Things might change if we delay further!" grumbled the other people unhappily. Nobody wanted to hear Reilo swagger about now.

At the same time, someone stood out and decided to do this in a polite and gentlemanly fashion. "Mr Ye, we don't want to strike someone when they're down either. As long as you hand over the treasures you have on hand, we promise not to make things difficult for you and we won't be part of your feud with Reilo. What do you think?" said this person in a well-mannered tone of voice. Everyone looked at Ye Fan with great anticipation.

They didn't have any feud with Ye Fan and they just wanted those treasures.

As long as Ye Fan was willing to hand those treasures over, they weren't keen on fighting Ye Fan.
