A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1641

During that time, Angie would always be waiting at the door for him to return. Upon seeing him, she would call out to him and throw herself into his arms. Michael reminisced over the beautiful times they shared back then, as no one expected everything to change after just a few years.

Before he knew it, tears began to well up in Michael's eyes. It's probably some sand, but why is my nose burning? Why does it hurt so much?

Just when Michael was lost in thought, Nuo suddenly emerged dressed in black.

When he saw Michael, he greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Jones, I have prepared everything according to your instruction."

"Very well." Michael nodded.

"In that case, let's get it done as soon as possible. I bid you Godspeed," he replied grimly with his back facing Nuo so that no one could see the emotions on his face.

Instead of responding, Nuo dropped to his knees in front of Michael and bowed.

"Mr. Jones, Ms. Jones is lucky to have a brother like you."

Michael sniggered, "Lucky? If we could do this all over again, I would rather Angie not be born into the Jones family at all. Only then can she find true happiness. All right now, time to get to work. Or else, you will miss the window of opportunity once they reach Mount Chumen."

Michael then waved his hand for Nuo and his men to get back up.

"Mr. Jones, take care."

After bowing again, Nuo set off quickly with five of the Jones family's powerful warriors whom Michael had provided him with.

"Angie, this is the most I can do for you. Whether you will be able to escape will now rest on the hands of fate."

Looking far ahead from the mansion, Michael was filled with overwhelming concern.

Meanwhile, Chu Sect was tens of kilometers away from the Jones residence.

Given the speed the wedding convoy was traveling, it would take them half an hour to return.

As the convoy of luxury cars traversed through Norwal City, they were welcomed with flowers and fireworks along the entire route.

Drones were flying around taking pictures while many skyscrapers had congratulatory messages displayed on their screens.

In fact, the convoy even had a police escort lead the way while traffic lights turned all green for them.

The scene caused innumerable women to feel envious.

"Oh my God! Whose wedding is this?"

"What a grand reception! Can it be the richest man in Norwal City?"

Within the crowd, many gossiped excitely.

"What richest man? It's for the third son of the Chu family, who is also the heir."

“I'll be da*ned. Is it true? Is Mr. Chu getting married already? Doesn't it mean that I don't stand a chance anymore?"

Within the crowd, a lady with heavy makeup expressed her disappointment.

"You? How can a bunch of generic-looking girls like you dream of marrying into the Chu family? Do you even know who Mr. Chu's bride is? She's the little princess of the Jones family, Ms. Angie Jones. She doesn't just come with an illustrious background, but more importantly, she's still a blooming girl at seventeen. How can the lot of you even compare?"

Even though many in the crowd were filled with envy and jealousy, most of them actually wished that they were the bride.

And just like that, the Chu family's convoy drove through the city center under everyone's gazes.

Soon, they were about to arrive at Mount Chumen which was located on the outskirts of the city.

Throughout the journey, Angie sat quietly without saying a word.

All of a sudden, she claimed that she was car sick and wanted to puke.

In response, Chu Qitian ordered the car to stop immediately.

After the car door was opened, Angie stumbled out of the car with Chu Qitian behind her.

That was when the strangest thing happened.

Suddenly, just when Chu Qitian least expected it, Angie launched a punch that landed right smack on his chest.

It was so powerful that it threw his back by tens of meters.

"Ms. Jones, this way!"

Simultaneously, Nuo and his men, who had been waiting, sprang out from the woods.

Nuo in particular ran ahead of the group and rushed to Angie's side. Then, he swiftly grabbed her and started to flee. Everything happened so fast that Chu Qitian was caught unawares.

"Da*n in! How dare you trick me!"

Upon steadying himself, Chu Qitian spat out the blood in his mouth with a grim expression.

"Nonetheless, I enjoy pursuing feisty girls. Those who submit easily are no fun at all." Chu Qitian smiled insidiously. With that, he ordered his subordinates to recapture Angie. As for the rest, they were to be killed without mercy.

Soon, the Chu family's warriors went after them in pursuit.

"Stop them!" Nuo barked sternly when he sensed the murderous intent coming from behind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On his cue, the men he brought along with him gathered quickly.

With an intimidating force, they fought back the pursuers, buying time for Nuo and Angie to escape.

"Hmm? They fight pretty well given that they're at the peak of Terminal Level. Nevertheless, isn't it wishful thinking to steal my wife with just these men alone?" Chu Qitian sneered.

With that, he stomped his foot on the ground and launched himself into the air.

Once he was airborne, Chu Qitian flew across the sky as if he had wings itself.

"The first form of Invoke the Celestial Sky, Cloud Sun Kick!"

With a loud battle cry, Chu Qitian spun through the air before aiming his kick at the black figures down below. Subsequently, he came crashing down on them with devastating power, causing the earth to shatter upon impact.

Amidst cries of agony, Nuo's five subordinates felt their chests collapse onto themselves. Simultaneously, all of them spewed blood as they were sent flying by the massive force.

"What?"

Having seen what happened, Nuo furrowed his brows and felt a chill down his spine.

He had not expected Chu Qitian to be so powerful that he could defeat five warriors at the peak of Terminal Level with a single kick.

Even a Grandmaster wasn't capable of such a feat.

Furthermore, Hue's gut told him that Chu Qitian wasn't a Grandmaster yet.

Nevertheless, it wasn't the time to be shocked.

After he grabbed Angie, both of them fled as fast as they could.

As Nuo kept increasing his pace, the use of his Internal Energy caused his body to burn up like a raging inferno.

"Mr. Nuo, what are you doing? You should stop, or you'll die. At this rate, you'll really kill yourself."

Angie quickly grasped Nuo's intention, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

She pleaded, "Mr. Nuo, I don't want to run anymore. Let's just stop."

Tears finally gushed out uncontrollably.

However, Nuo ignored her pleas as he was single-mindedly focused on getting Angie out of there.

He wanted to take her away from the Jones family and Mount Chumen so that she could finally be free of her restraints.

"Da*n it, the old fogey is burning his Internal Energy to do this," Chu Qitian grumbled when he saw Nuo and Angie widening the distance between them. Nuo's capabilities were close to that of a Grandmaster.

By burning his Internal Energy, he was turning his lifeforce into power that gave him explosive speed.

Under those circumstances, there was no way Chu Qitian could catch them, for he was only at the peak of Terminal Level.

Only by relying on Invoke the Celestial Sky, he could unleash a burst of power equivalent to that of a Grandmaster.

Unfortunately, speed was his greatest weakness.

As a result, he was unable to catch up with Nuo's pace at all.

"Sixth Elder, don't just stand there and watch. It would be a disgrace for the Chu family if Angie was indeed taken from me today."
