A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1635
"All right. War God, I will leave the King of Fighters in your care."
Being the War God of China, Ye Qingtian stood proudly atop Mount Yan as Sword Saint and Tang Hao bade him farewell.
They then boarded their private plane and headed for Mount Chumen while Ye Qingtian saw them off.
For some reasons unknown, his feelings of unease intensified the minute Sword Saint and Tang Hao left.
He couldn't shake the feeling that something big was about to happen in the martial arts world.
"I just hope everything will end peacefully..." Ye Qingtian muttered under his breath while his coat billowed in the cool mountain breeze.
War God looked like a silent guardian watching over the land as he stood atop the mountain alone.
Meanwhile, in the northern borders of Remdik, a man dressed in golden royal robes was standing quietly in front of a huge window.
The glass of vodka in his hand was emanating a strong fragrant aroma, but he didn't seem to pay any attention to it whatsoever.
Instead, the man simply continued staring absentmindedly out the window like he was waiting for something.
Eventually, someone entered the hall and bowed respectfully as he said, "Your Majesty, China has made their move. According to the report, Sword Saint and Heavenly Grandmaster are approaching with their respective teams."
The man chuckled upon hearing that. "Oh? The Sword Saint is personally leading his team? In that case, let us make our move as well."
He then raised his glass and downed the vodka in one go-
Had the War God been there to witness that conversation, he would've recognized that man as Aaron, the martial arts leader of Remdik who held the title of Great Emperor.
Zoom!
It wasn't long before a Remdik fighter jet flew out of
Moco City and was headed for Mount Chumen all the way across the ocean.
Apart from China and Remdik, countries from the Western Epea like North Koandria, Australia, and even those from South Aploth sent their martial arts leaders over to the Chu family's residence.
It was an incredibly grand sight to behold as hundreds of jets carrying Supremes and Grandmasters soared through the night sky.
"My goodness... Look at Folo Palace! Isn't that our king's private jet? Is King Folo heading out? He's even bringing a few Supremes with him!"
"I heard the king of Ustrana has also left the country in his private jet!"
"The War God Castle from China too!"
"It's like the martial arts leaders from all countries in the world are making their move at the same time!"
"My goodness! What are they going to do? Start a world war or something?"
The fact that martial arts leaders from all over the world were heading out at once indicated something big was going on.
Naturally, rumors spread like wildfire among the general public as they discussed their theories about it.
Some even believed that an all-out war was about to break out in the martial arts world as a grand gathering of such degree was truly a rare sight. Eventually, someone managed to get some insider information and spread the word that Chu Qitian was getting married.
"What? Chu Qitian is getting married?"
"So, that's what's going on?"
"It all makes sense now!"
"The Chu family is the only one that deserves that much respect!"
The Chu family's wedding had caused a huge commotion in the martial arts world.
Meanwhile, in a fancy manor in Japan, Iwai Zen was sipping on some tea in his fancy manor in Japan while listening to his subordinate's report.
Being the former chairman of Sango Corporation, this was a hobby that he had developed over the years.
As such, he was able to remain well-informed of everything happening both locally and globally despite rarely leaving his residence. "Hmm? What did you say?"
"Chu Tianqi of the Chu Sect is about to marry Angie of the Jones family."
Iwai Zen, who was usually calm and composed, looked surprised when he heard that.
So, the Chu family has decided to get into a marriage of convenience with the Jones family, huh? Are they planning on fighting for the position of leader in the Chu Sect? A straw shows which way the wind blows. While this marriage of convenience may seem insignificant, there is usually a huge reason behind it. Regardless of why these two families have chosen to be connected like this, it is undeniable that the Chu family would become incredibly powerful with the support of the Jones family.
Iwai Zen thought to himself with a frown.
"Oh, Dragon Master... I wonder how you will react after hearing about this. Your chances of winning were slim to begin with, so the Chu family and the Jones family joining hands would only make things much more difficult for you. I'm afraid Operation Ablaze is going to end in failure now!" he muttered to himself with a smile while shaking his head.
Iwai Zen had been planning on leaving the Dragon God Hall and severing all ties with Ye Fan ever since he found out that Ye Fan was targeting the Chu family.
He believed Ye Fan's plan was bound to fail and advised him against it, but Ye Fan stubbornly ignored him and insisted on going through with the said plan.
With the two families being connected by marriage, Iwai Zen figured Ye Fan would see the futility of his plan and forget about seeking revenge on the Chu fa m i ly.
As he rarely heard anything about Ye Fan since he left Japan, Iwai Zen believed he had been deterred by the reality of the situation.
"I remember how bold and ambitious you were back then, Dragon Master. And yet, here you are, admitting defeat in the face of harsh reality. A single spark cannot start a huge blaze, nor can it change anything
in this world. All your talk about igniting the flames of change ended up being pathetic jokes!" Iwai Zen continued mumblingto himself in his room with a gleeful and disdainful smile on his face.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the manor.
A huge hole had been blown in the tall wall surrounding the manor, and the concrete door coated with steel had been blasted to pieces.
Iwai Zen jumped in shock from the sudden loud blast and shouted angrily, "Huh? What was that? What's going on? Guards!"
He wanted to know what was happening outside, but the crystal door in front of him shattered before his subordinates and guards could even get to him.
The fragments scattered all over the floor shone brightly as the sunlight reflected off them.
In the midst of the chaos, two figures looking like demons straight out of hell appeared before Iwai Zen.
"Y-You guys..."
His eyes went wide from fear and disbelief when he
saw them.
An icy-cold yet authoritative voice boomed and echoed in the huge room around him.
"Rock Dragon, you are guilty of betraying the Dragon God Hall and disobeying the orders. According to the rules of the Dragon God Hall, you should be executed on the spot. However, Dragon Master is merciful and wishes to spare your life. The preparations for Operation Ablaze are complete, and we are ready to proceed with the operation. We have come here under Dragon Master's orders to bring you to Mount Chumen. Will he end up dying in Mount Chumen, or will he crush the Chu Sect beneath his feet?
Regardless of the outcome, Dragon Master wishes for you to bear witness to it all."
Iwai Zen couldn't help but shudder from how intimidating those two were.
He kept his eyes fixated on them as fear and terror filled his old heart.
Iwai Zen had never expected the threats Ye Fan made when he came to Japan then to come true and in such a sudden manner too.
"Is Dragon Master really going to attack the Chu
family?"
