A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1473 Didn't Do the Country Injustice
"Are you saying that the Lv family harmed your family and War God Castle defended them? A-are you sure?" The God of War was instantly stunned.
He didn't expect Ye Fan to have such a huge grudge against War God Castle and the Chinese martial arts circles.
"Ye Fan, it must be a misunderstanding. You were serving the country by going to South America, so War God Castle would definitely take care of your kin. How could we make our fighters lose heart by standing by and doing nothing? We thought you were dead when you went missing. We even sent a team to help check on your family. Now you are saying that we aided someone who wanted to hurt your kin. That's absolute garbage! Who told you that?" asked Ye Qing-Tian anxiously as he frowned.
He suddenly recalled something and said, "Wait, now I remember. Someone called Lv Hua coveted your wife about half a year ago. However, I caught the man and sent him to the martial arts court for sentencing. We have already taken care of that, and the culprit was sentenced to death by the courts. Did you have go around killing so many people when no physical harm was done to your wife? Don't you think you're overreacting?"
The God of War spoke deeply with displeasure.
He clearly thought that Ye Fan had slaughtered all those people for what happened six months ago.
He thought that he had already taken care of the matter and had answered to Ye Fan's family.
So now that Ye Fan couldn't let it go and wanted to seek justice on his own, Ye Qing-Tian became very upset.
He felt that Ye Fan was being petty and too eager to kill from the way he wiped out the Lv family over a minor matter that had been taken care of ages ago.
This personality of his was very unlovable.
"Sentenced to death? God of War, do you
think I'm an idiot? If Lv Hua was dead, then who was the man wreaking havoc in Jiangdong and bullying my family? Who is the man War God Castle is harboring right now?" asked Ye Fan rhetorically as he laughed coldly.
God of War was stunned. "What do you mean? You mean Lv Hua wasn't executed back then and he even continued to wreak havoc in Jiangdong?"
Something dawned on Ye Qing-Tian, so he turned to look at the King of Fighters.
"King of Fighters, what's going on? I recall you were handling this. Did you let Lv Hua go?" asked God of War coldly as he suppressed his fury.
All along, only the most serious cases were sent to the martial arts court.
In his memory, no one sent to the martial arts court ever came out alive.
By sending Lv Hua to the martial arts court, it was as good as giving him a death sentence.
From the looks of it now, something had changed without his knowledge.
"Well..." The King of Fighters avoided eye contact with the God of War and his voice sounded muffled.
He clearly felt somewhat guilty.
"God of War, we reopened the investigation for the matter. Lv Hua simply admires Ye Fan's wife. It's only natural for men to be attracted to pretty women. Don't you like the Chu Sect leader yourself? A few of us decided that although Lv Hua was in the wrong, he didn't deserve death. After we punished him, he was repentant, so we spared his life," explained Mo Gu-Cheng.
He made no mention of how Lv Song-Liang visited him bearing lavish gifts to bribe him.
Ye Fan was already dead back then, so in comparison to the Lv family, Ye Fan's family was less important.
All the martial artists in charge of sentencing Lv Hua did Lv Song-Liang a favor by only punishing Lv Hua physically before letting him out.
Mo Gu-Cheng didn't tell the God of War about the nitty-gritty. Instead, he simply claimed that Lv Hua didn't deserve to die.
"What? You let him off? That's nonsense! Regardless of the reason, coveting our fallen heroes' wives is punishable by death. How could you let him off? Your actions have made him unrepentant, so he went back to Jiangdong and did even worse things. Look what happened now? Ye Fan has already slaughtered his entire family. Are you still not going to hand them over? You can't blame Ye Fan for what he did. It all happened thanks to you!" Ye Qing-Tian almost wanted to blow up.
He didn't think that Mo Gu-Cheng and the others would have let Lv Hua go.
Ye Qing-Tian didn't believe Ye Fan when he said that the Lv family had hurt his family and wanted to steal his legacy, but it appeared to be true now.
After Lv Hua escaped the death penalty, he must have harbored a grudge and went back to wreak havoc on Jiangdong even harder.
If someone tried to kill his family, he would probably lose it too.
Now it made sense for Ye Fan to come all the way here to seek justice.
It was the King of Fighters and the rest here who were the fools.
These men had really lived so long for nothing.
"God of War, how can you say that? He was the one who killed those people. What has it got to do with me?"
Ye Qing-Tian spoke so harshly that the King of Fighters' face blanched as he defended himself weakly.
Perhaps out of guilt, the King of Fighters didn't speak too loudly.
But the God of War couldn't be bothered
with him.
He glared at the King of Fighters as though he was saying that he would deal with him later.
"Ye Fan, War God Castle was in the wrong. War God Castle neglected its duties by not helping to take good care of your kin while you were out on mission, so you couldn't work with peace of mind. On behalf of War God Castle, I, Ye Qing-Tian, apologize deeply. I will take care of this personally. In three days, justice will be served. As for you, why don't you go back and spend time with your family for now?"
After figuring out what happened, the God of War was no longer angry with Ye Fan. Instead, he was filled with guilt and regret.
After all, Ye Fan was in the right.
The God of War was the one who had asked Ye Fan to go to South America and hunt for the spirit fruit.
Ye Fan went to the Amazon rainforest on behalf of the country and put himself in
great danger and almost died.
Everything that Ye Fan said was right. He hadn't done the country any injustice. Instead, it was the country that had let him down.
