A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1519 Kneel Down

The entire place fell deathly silent.

From the moment Kong Ming fell to his knees, the entire house fell silent.

Every single person was too shocked to move.

"What...what on earth is going on?"

Xu Wen-Qing froze like a wooden chicken as his eyes grew wide.

Xu Mei-Feng's face was covered in shock as she stared on in disbelief.

Wei Luo himself felt as though someone had slapped him and he was too bewildered for words.

"Elder...Elder Kong, you...why..." Those were all the words that could come out of Wei Luo.

Xu Lei and Ye Yu-Yan were also confused.

Their hands covered their lips and they looked very puzzled.

It was clear that even though they were close to Ye Fan, even they had no idea what was going on.

The only person who was still able to remain calm was Ye Fan as he sat comfortably on his chair.

"Oh, so Elder Kong still remembers me. I thought you'd have already forgotten me after not seeing each other for more than a year." Ye Fan looked down at the kneeling Kong Ming as he spoke amicably but with a nasty look on his face.

"Un...unrivalled Grandmaster, back...back when we were in the Amazon rainforest, your prowess shocked the entire globe. Your junior here has always remembered what you look like. Even if I forget what I look like, I wouldn't dare to forget what you look like, the almighty Unrivalled," said Kong Ming in a trembling voice. He could sense the iciness in Ye Fan's words and it terrified him.

Everyone else was even more shocked to hear his words.

Who would have thought that an old man would call himself a junior in front of Ye Fan?

It was obvious that this old man revered and respected Ye Fan greatly.

But Ye Fan merely scoffed.

"Don't say that, I'm really not worth of any of it. I'd better get up and prepare to die," replied Ye Fan with a frosty smile.

Kong Ming really peed his pants this time.

His eyes were filled with fear and he was trembling all over. "Mr...Mr Ye, everything I said earlier...was nonsense! I didn't know it was you! Please don't take it personally! Unrivalled Grandmaster, please, please forgive me! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to show off in front of you!" pleaded Kong Ming miserably. He was so frightened, he felt his soul was about to leave his body.

Others might not know Ye Fan's prowess, but Kong Ming did.

Back when they went to the rainforest together to look for spirit energy fruits, Kong Ming was the leader of the team.

He had seen for himself how vicious and powerful Ye Fan was.

It only took one punch and one kick for him to kill an elder of Chu Sect.

It was also said that Ye Fan had fought two supreme grandmasters singlehandedly on the island that was in the middle of the lake.

After he returned to China, Kong Ming then found out that the young man from Jiangdong on the team was actually the hidden seventh pillar of the nation and a supreme grandmaster!

At that time, Kong Ming was terrified after learning about this. But there were also rumors that the Unrivalled had already died, so Kong Ming wasn't too worried about that.

However, some time ago, the massacre at West Lake in Jiangbei had rocked China, and rumors that the Unrivalled was back flooded the nation.

At that moment, Kong Ming knew that the young man was definitely back.

He had been feeling very uneasy ever since he found out that Ye Fan was back in China.

After all, that trip to the rainforest had been very unpleasant.

Now that he knew who Ye Fan really was, he wanted to find a time to visit Ye Fan and apologize to him personally.

One of the reasons why he followed Wei Luo to Yanjing was for this purpose.

He had planned to go straight to Jiangdong once his work in Yanjing was done.

He didn't expect to run into Ye Fan here.

Worse still, he had offended Ye Fan again.

"Why is this happening to me?!" Kong Ming

was so terrified and frustrated that he nearly started crying.

He was both afraid and upset.

Ye Fan was a killing machine.

He heard that Ye Fan was the one who had singlehandedly massacred all those people who died at West Lake.

More than a hundred martial artists had perished at West Lake.

One of China's top three martial arts families, the Lv family, had been wiped out by him too.

The newly crowned supreme grandmaster, Lv Song-Liang, had been pinned to a stone pillar by Ye Fan with one sword.

Despite doing so many terrible things, Ye Fan remained unpunished.

What did that mean?

That meant that even War God Castle couldn't do anything about him.

In other words, Ye Fan had the entire Chinese martial arts circle under his feet.

Now that he had offended someone with a godlike existence, Kong Ming was still going to die even if he had nine lives to spare.

Of course he was terrified.

He couldn't stop kowtowing and apologizing.

He didn't care about his reputation or image anymore. He just hoped that Ye Fan could see that he was apologizing sincerely and would spare him.

And there really wasn't anything embarrassing about pleading with a supreme grandmaster for mercy.

Not everybody got the chance either.

"Elder Kong, what are you doing?! Are you nuts?! Why are you kowtowing to him? I told you to kill him! I command you to kill him right now! Did you hear me?!" Wei Luo started bellowing away because he couldn't stand watching the person he had relied on the most humble himself to this extent in front of Ye Fan.

His eyes were bloodshot as he continued to yell and shout at the old man.

"Go to hell and shut your mouth!" Kong Ming roared back furiously and slapped Wei Luo to the floor.

If Wei Luo hadn't come from a powerful family like the Wei family, Kong Ming would probably have killed him on the spot.

"You stupid little bastard! How dare you go around offending people you can't afford to? Are you trying to get me killed? Damn it! You've really gotten me into big trouble this time!" roared Kong Ming angrily as he kicked Wei Luo furiously.

Everyone was really flabbergasted by this sudden turn of events.

"What's...what's going on now?"

"Why is the man that Young Master Wei

hired hitting Young Master Wei now?"

Some members of the Xu family were whispering fearfully to each other.

But despite the confusion in their hearts, not a single person dared to go up and stop the old man.

Eventually, Kong Ming got tired and stopped kicking Wei Luo.

He went back to kneeling in front of Ye Fan to apologize and plead for mercy.

"Mr Ye, it's his fault! He's the one who wanted me to deal with you! The Wei family is my benefactor, and I agreed to help because I wanted to repay the favor. But I really didn't know that you were the one whom they wanted to deal with! I deserve to die! I'm the one who was too blind to see that it was you!" wailed Kong Ming miserably as fear and regret filled his heart. His tears and snot couldn't stop flowing. His pitiful crying face could compete with Li Er's.

"That's enough. Since you're still of value to the Chinese martial arts circle, I will not pursue today's matter any further. But if you do this again next time, I won't spare you! Get out now!" shouted Ye Fan in a thunderous voice.

Kong Ming felt as if he had just been given a new lease of life. He kowtowed three more times to Ye Fan, then scrambled to his feet to make a run for it.

Perhaps he was too nervous and didn't watch where he was going, so he actually tripped over Wei Luo, who was still sprawled on the floor.

"Bloody hell, go away!" Kong Ming angrily kicked Wei Luo one more time, then ran off without even turning back.

The hall fell silent again after Kong Ming had left.

Everyone glanced at each other. Nobody expected things to end this way.

After a brief period of silence, Ye Fan was done drinking the tea in his cup.

He finally got up, scoured the entire room with his frosty eyes, before his gaze finally landed on Wei Luo, who had just managed to climb to his feet.

"What...what do you want? I'm warning you, I'm the young master of the Wei family. My father is the head of the Wei family and my family is extremely powerful. I have family members in every industry of the country, so how dare you..."

BAM BAM!

Before Wei Luo could finish speaking, Ye Fan kicked him twice.

There was a bloodcurdling scream as Wei Luo's knee caps were both broken.

"Kneel down!"
