A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1383 At the Foot of Mount Yunding

Since China now had a genuine supreme grandmaster, a borderline case like Mo Wu-Ya didn't stand a chance anymore.

But even though Mo Wu-Ya had failed to clinch the title because he wasn't good enough, he still felt that Ye Fan had taken his position, so his family didn't like Ye Fan.

In the end, Mo Wu-Ya didn't become part of the condolences team.

Only two out of three of the team that the King of Fighters had put together went ahead.

"King of Fighters, are you only sending two people? Isn't that a little miserly on our part? Usually when someone below grandmaster level dies, we send at least three people. If we lose a grandmaster, we send at least nine. Ye Fan was a supreme grandmaster. Even though he didn't make a lot of contributions, surely we can't just send two people, right?" someone couldn't help but ask Mo Gu-Cheng about the sad looking condolences team.

But Mo Gu-Cheng wasn't bothered and just waved his hands about as he said nonchalantly, "He's already dead, so who cares about how big the group is? It's the thought that counts. Alright now, let them head off for Jiangdong."

Mo Gu-Cheng then turned and went back into War God Castle without even bothering to send the condolences team off.

"Brother Hua, was this Ye Fan really a supreme grandmaster? Why do I get the sense that War God Castle doesn't place much importance on him? The last time a grandmaster passed on, War God Castle sent a nine person team to send condolences to his family, including some highly respected senior martial artists."

"But now, a supreme grandmaster has sacrificed his life for the country, so it's only right to send several grandmaster level martial artists, right? Instead, they've just sent you and I, two young ones in the martial arts world. Isn't that patronizing?"

After they got the order to leave, a black Land Rover drove out from Yanjing and headed for Ye Fan's place in Jiangdong.

The two members of the team sent to Jiangdong to offer condolences to Ye Fan's widow were conversing in the car.

The one who spoke was a man around 30 years old or so. He was considered a junior among the many older martial artists in the martial arts arena.

He was driving while raising his doubts.

Next to him was a young man half lying in his seat. He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he hummed quietly.

If Lu Yan-Xi and Kong Ming were here, they would have immediately recognized this young man as the one who went with them to South America. It was Lv Hua.

Lv Hua was from a martial arts family and was considered to have an extraordinary background. His grandfather was also listed as one of China's grandmasters, and he was supposedly a team mate of Ye Fan's since they headed for South America together.

Either way, Lv Hua was suitable to be part of this condolences team.

It wasn't overdoing it, but it didn't look bad on War God Castle either.

So when the King of Fighters was forming the team, the first person he chose was Lv Hua.

The man driving was Lin Si-Cong. He was one of the more gifted martial artists among his generation, and someone that War God Castle was grooming.

There was nothing else special about this man.

He was part of this team because the King of Fighters had randomly picked him.

"It's normal. He's dead anyway, so what's the use of making such a big thing out of it? It's already enough for the Chinese martial arts circle to even send a team to offer condolences. Besides, Ye Fan's surviving family members are of no use to our circle. Why would War God Castle care about worthless people?" replied Lv Hua nonchalantly.

He had seen a lot of such things.

Only those of value were highly regarded.

War God Castle might treat Ye Fan's family better when Ye Fan was alive on account of Ye Fan, but once he was dead, then everyone who depended on him but had no power or value of their own would be left to their own devices.

Lv Hua felt that War God Castle was just going through a formality by sending a team down like this. It was all for show.

Once he and Lin Si-Cong were done with this trip, War God Castle would probably never bother about Ye Fan's family ever again.

"Brother Hua, I understand what you're saying, but Ye Fan was the seventh pillar of our nation. Even if it's just for show, we ought to still send a few important people, right? If anyone else finds out that the only people who sent condolences were youngsters like the two of us, they would think that War God Castle is heartless. This man was a pillar of the nation, but that's all he got after he died." Lin Si-Cong still couldn't understand this arrangement and felt that War God Castle had not closed this matter properly.

Lv Hua just laughed. "You have no idea, huh. Before coming, I heard that this team was put together by the King of Fighters. The King of Fighters' son, Mo Wu-Ya, was a hot candidate for the seventh grandmaster's position, but Ye Fan ended up taking it instead. In short, Ye Fan snatched his son's title away. Do you think the King of Fighters would take this lying down? I think the team is so pathetic partly because the King of Fighters and his son made it so."

Lv Hua was from a martial arts family after all, so he had many more sources of such information compared to Lin Si-Cong.

"My goodness, I didn't know they had such a feud going on." Lin Si-Cong was

shocked.

He thought that this sort of selfish competition and bearing of grudges only happened between ordinary folks like himself.

He didn't think that those who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts would also harbor such selfishness and ambition.

After finding out about this feud, Lin Si-Cong felt that all his questions had been answered.

And at the same time, Lin Si-Cong's attitude towards this mission had become a lot more casual and flippant.

Since his higher ups couldn't care less, then why should the subordinates bother?

After a long drive, Lin Si-Cong and Lv Hua finally reached Yunzhou.

They followed the address they were given and drove all the way to Mount Yunding

Villa.

After several months of construction work, Mount Yunding Villa had gone through a complete change after the fire burned it to the ground the last time.

It stood on the peak of the mountain, high up in the clouds, and looked down upon the rest of the city.

Lv Hua and Lin Si-Cong were immediately stunned by the majestic and luxurious building in front of them.

"This place has excellent fengshui. Even the mansion my grandfather lives in doesn't match up to this. Looks like Ye Fan was rather powerful and of high standing in Jiangdong when he was still alive," Lv Hua exclaimed in his heart after getting out of the car and staring at Ye Fan's house.

But after he got over his initial surprise, he laughed and murmured to himself, "But so what? No matter how powerful or how highly ranking one used to be, once you're dead, then it doesn't mean anything anymore. Just like this bungalow. No matter how beautiful or luxurious it is, it will now belong to someone else."

Lv Hua snorted coldly and started walking.

He walked right onto the top of Mount Yunding!
