A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1505 His Dad's the King of Fighters

"The King of Fighters and Sword Saint sent you to demand answers from me?" Gaia burst out into laughter before shaking his head and smiling. He sounded nonchalant when he spoke next. "How old are you kid? Look at you, trying to intimidate me by dropping names. Well, you've picked the wrong ones. If you'd mentioned the Unrivalled instead, I would have left East Asia immediately. As for the other Chinese grandmasters...they don't frighten me at all. Not even the God of War."

Gaia wasn't trying to be arrogant. He was simply stating a fact.

He wasn't as powerful as the God of War or the other supreme grandmasters like Sword Saint. If he were to run into them, he would probably stay out of their sight instead of provoking them openly. But they weren't here right now. Their titles alone would not cow Gaia.

He did not expect Mo Wu-Ya to fly into a rage upon hearing what he had said.

"Silence! How dare you insult my father

and his comrades! The Unrivalled? He's just a country bumpkin who came from the countryside and who has no idea who he's up against! What was he done to earn the same respect that my father and his comrades command?" Mo Wu-Ya snarled furiously.

Because of the kerfuffle over the title of supreme grandmaster, Mo Wu-Ya had been harboring enmity towards Ye Fan. He felt nothing but hostile condescension for the man.

If his father had not stopped him when Mo Wu-Ya had found out that Ye Fan had returned to China alive, Mo Wu-Ya would have charged to Jiangdong and challenged the young man to a fight.

He had been dying to find out whether the country bumpkin truly deserved his title as the Unrivalled Grandmaster.

Honestly, Mo Wu-Ya had never thought highly of Ye Fan.

He couldn't believe that he was being subjected to praises of Ye Fan while he was in foreign land and that to this man, Ye Fan somehow warranted more respect than his father, Sword Saint and the other supreme grandmasters.

That infuriated Mo Wu-Ya to no end.

This was an insult to his father, to the lords of War God Castle and to the entire Chinese martial arts circle.

How could the six pillars of nation, supreme grandmasters who had ruled the Chinese martial arts circle for nearly a century, deserve less regard than a lowly hooligan?

"What?"

The temperature in the hall took a sharp plummet as soon as Mo Wu-Ya had spoken.

The look on Gaia's face was cold.

"It seems that you're not friends with the Dragon Master."

Gaia's voice was quiet and his words slightly puzzling to Mo Wu-Ya.

"What Dragon Master? What are you talking about?" Mo Wu-Ya frowned.

"The most powerful supreme grandmaster in your country, also known as the Unrivalled."

What?

Mo Wu-Ya's eyelids twitched violently.

"What a load of nonsense! That's utter bullshit! The most powerful grandmaster in China is Ye Qing-Tian! Ye Fan is just a shameless punk who stole the title of supreme grandmaster from me while I was down. If I had not been severely injured by Chu Tian-Fan, I would have become the seventh supreme grandmaster in China. He wouldn't have stood any chance at all! He's a shameless scoundrel who took advantage of my injury. Everyone in the Chinese martial arts circle is cursing him and wishing his death and here you are, calling him the most powerful supreme grandmaster in China? Who the hell does he think he is? He's a nobody!" cursed Mo

Wu-Ya furiously.

A mixture of jealousy and rage had Mo Wu-Ya trembling violently.

"Forget it! What's the point of telling you all this? You're just an outsider. When I return to China, I'll defeat Ye Fan and you'll know that the so-called Unrivalled Grandmaster is nothing but a piece of trash. All I want to know now is what you're trying to accomplish by killing so many people near our border?"

Mo Wu-Ya pulled himself together after his momentary loss of control.

These were matters that only concerned the Chinese martial arts circle. He didn't have to share them with an outsider.

He raised his head and stared into Gaia's eyes as he questioned Gaia.

He did not receive a reply from Gaia.

Instead, what he got was a forceful punch.

"What? How dare you!"

A shocked Mo Wu-Ya hurriedly dodged the blow.

But he was barely a supreme grandmaster. There was no way he was a match for Gaia.

A loud thud erupted in the air.

The punch landed squarely on Mo Wu-Ya and sent him shooting into the distance like a cannonball out of a cannon.

He smashed through multiple walls before finally crashing onto the ground heavily and spitting a mouthful of blood on the floor.

"What...what are you trying to do? I have no intention of making an enemy of you. Why do you keep attacking me? Are you trying to challenge the Chinese martial arts circle? If you don't give me an answer today, I'll inform War God Castle when I get back. When that happens, my father, the King of Fighters, and my uncle, Sword Saint, will come after you!" Mo Wu-Ya bellowed at Gaia furiously, his eyes red with anger.

The man had called the first attack a misunderstanding. Was this a misunderstanding as well?

The man had punched him without a single word of explanation. Anyone would be angered by that.

But Gaia paid his threats no heed. Instead, he walked up to Mo Wu-Ya and began to beat him up.

"I didn't pick a fight with you because I thought you were the Dragon Master's Chinese brethren. How dare you disrespect the Dragon Master, you ignorant punk! I guess I don't have to hold back anymore. I'm going to break your legs for talking about the Dragon Master in this manner!" thundered Gaia.

His furious words were followed by a flurry of blows.

Cries of pain rang out and reverberated across the whole Lee family mansion.

The Lee family was stunned by the sight before them.

Their eyes filled with terror as they stood there stupidly, rooted to their spots.

"That's...quite a beating."

The rumbling of an engine died down as a plane from Jiangdong landed in Daxing Airport in Yanjing.

A young man and a young woman alighted from the plane alongside the rest of the passengers.

They were none other than Ye Fan and Ye Yu-Yan, who had hurried over to Yanjing from Jiangdong.

"Fan, are you sure we shouldn't inform Miss Xu of our arrival? We should at least get her to send someone to pick you up," Ye Yu-Yan asked uncertainly as she looked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled.

"It's alright. Lei has got her hands full running Yanjing. We can make our way

around. There's no need to trouble her. Besides, I plan to get her some gifts to surprise her before we head to the Xu family. That young girl loves little surprises like that. She's quite a romantic." The image of a beautiful young woman popped up in his head.

It had been some time since Ye Fan had seen Xu Lei.

The last time they had seen each other must have been when he had just returned from Japan.

"It's been quite some time. I wonder if Lei's doing alright?" Ye Fan gazed into the distance.

Towering buildings rose into the skies, where the winds roused the clouds.

His phone rang barely moments after he had landed at the airport.

He had just switched his phone. He had gotten it so that he could keep in touch with Han. Few others knew this number.

Ye Fan frowned and answered the call.

"Is this the Dragon Master? I asked Han for your number. I didn't expect to get through! This is Gaia." Ye Fan heard Gaia's politely delighted voice on the other end of the line. "What's wrong?" Ye Fan frowned and asked.

"There's been a small problem. I met a young punk in Korea. I think he's a Chinese martial artist as well. He spoke disrespectfully about you and insulted your name. I gave him a good beating. What should I do with him now? Should I just kill him?" asked Gaia.

Ye Fan replied him coolly. "There's no need for that. You have important business to attend to. Don't waste your time on trivial matters like this. If you meet any more Chinese martial artists, don't try to put them in a tough spot unless it's absolutely necessary. As for this man, ask whom his parents are and notify his family so that they can come get him."

"Dragon Master, I've asked him. His dad is the King of Fighters," Gaia said firmly.
