A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1584

Whoosh!

The atmosphere tense, like boiling water.

After a long time, the storm subsided and everything returned to normal.

However, the figure remained levitating.

He was like a king staring at his subjects, domineering and dignified.

At the same time, one could notice the confidence and ambitious look that was expressed on his face.

Then, his voice resounded throughout the whole area.

"It's been too long. Ever since I lost to you that year, my power was at a standstill. Now, after the training, my efforts have finally come to fruition. From now on, no one from Mount Chumen will dare say that I'm inferior to you! Hahaha!"

Chu Zhengliang's boisterous laugh filled the air.

It was like he finally vented all the grievances and grudges that he had kept in his heart.

Indeed, Chu Zhengliang had been holding back his feelings.

He used to be the most promising descendant in the Chu family.

In terms of capability, he was much more superior than his brother, Chu Zhenghong.

At the time, Chu Zhenghong was an immature and irresponsible person in the eyes of many. Conversely, Chu Zhengliang was deemed to be the hope of the Chu family. He was supposed to be the top contender for the head of the Chu family and Chu Sect.

He used to be at his peak, where everyone looked up to him.

However, he hadn't expected that what was deemed to be rightfully his would be snatched away by someone else.

Ten years ago, when Ye Fan and his mother were chased out, Chu Zhenghong started training intensely.

He progressed at an unimaginable speed.

Eventually, he managed to defeat Chu Zhengliang and was crowned the head of the Chu family.

That defeat had haunted Chu Zhengliang for many years.

Before this, Chu Zhengliang had hit a plateau and struggled to improve.

It wasn't until Chu Zhenghong violated the rules and got kicked out that Chu Zhengliang could finally ascend to what he supposed was his birthright, and be crowned as head of the family.

He finally accomplished the goal that he had dreamed of for many years. The sense of accomplishment was hard to describe, and he was overwhelmed with joy and exhilaration. Chu Zhengliang was on cloud nine.

"Congratulations, Dad. You've managed to break through your limits and your powers are now amplified!"

Chu Qitian walked toward him.

Dressed in pajamas, he kneeled down and gazed at his father.

With his heart palpitating and his hands trembling, Chu Qitian was immensely proud of what his father had managed to achieve.

He was aware that he stood to benefit from Chu Zhengliang accomplishments, be it the advancement of his powers or the influence that he built.

It wasn't before long that thousands of people gathered in the Chu residence, paying their respect to Chu Zhengliang.

They uttered their wishes, "Congratulations, Mr. Chu, on your breakthrough!"

"You're destined to achieve great things."

A huge crowd was on their knees in the Chu residence.

Their boisterous voices boomed in the silence of the night.

All the while, the man in question, Chu Zhengliang, was overlooking his subordinates, and his vast surroundings from high above.

"From now on, I will lead the Chu family to their glory days in the martial arts world!"

Everyone from the Chu family went wild at that, and the deafening sound of cheers overwhelmed the night.

Thunderous voices filled with reverence resounded below him.

However, no one noticed that among the crowd, there was a single old man who had a worried look.

His worst fear had materialised in the end.

Just then, the others from the Chu Sect family arrived.

"Haha! As expected of the head of the Chu family, your aura is formidable!"

The one who had spoken was Bill Jones of the Jones family. He arrived at the Chu residence with his son.

"That's right. Congratulations, Mr. Chu. You seem to be on par with Demon King Chu. The Chu family really is something else. Before this, it was Demon King Chu. Now, it's you. It's highly likely that the head of Chu Sect might be you in the future!"

The elders from Chu Sect hurriedly congratulated Chu Zhengliang, their wishes flamboyant and full of

flattery.

Chu Zhengliang put on a bright smile and welcomed the guests cordially. "Haha! I humbly accept your wishes. But I'm not prepared to comment on who's going to be the head of Chu Sect. After all, the younger generations are blooming and their futures are bright. It's hard to predict what will happen in the future. Although I may have a tiny achievement now, it is incomparable to Mr. Tang."

Despite his words, the joy expressed on his face could not be disguised, especially when he was said to be the next head of Chu Sect.

Nonetheless, he thought he needed to be humble.

"Oh? Mr. Chu, you're too humble. We elders think that you're more worthy to be the head of Chu Sect compared to Tang Yun. The Chu family might be slightly inferior when it comes to brute powers, but in terms of responsibility and leadership, it is not in doubt that you are far more superior."

"A few months ago, we have proposed to the head of elders for you to replace Tang Yun and lead Chu Sect. However, it was rejected as you were not powerful enough back then. But, with your breakthrough now, it is no longer an issue for you to replace Tang Yun.

You are the one most worthy of the position. ""Once we get back, we will propose the same thing to the head of elders again. We want you to replace Tang Yun and lead Chu Sect!"

The elders were babbling non-stop.

Chu Qitian was enraptured upon hearing what they said.

If Chu Zhengliang were to become the head of Chu Sect, he would benefit as well, being his son and all.

So long as the father and son managed it well, Chu Qitian thought that he might be afforded the opportunity to take up the position in the future.

Just when he was basking in his thoughts of becoming the next leader, Chu Zhengliang rejected the idea. "Thank you all so much for your kind words. However, Mr. Tang has treated us well. He was also my teacher. If I were to replace him, I might be perceived as ungrateful and greedy. Hence, I think it's best if we stop thinking about this..."

At the same time, Bill interjected and laughed. "Haha! Zhengliang, you should seriously consider it. Since the elders think you can do it, you should not

disappoint them. Besides, the one who leads Chu Sect will be expected to steer the three families from Chu Sect back to their glory days. The elders' choice must be someone that can achieve that goal. Seeing that you're the strongest of us all, you're the one that's most fit for the job."

"But..." Chu Zhengliang feigned his hesitation.

"No buts! You should leave it to us. We elders know what to do. When it is time, you should just accept the offer." The elders boomed with laughter.
