A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1658

The revelation of Ye Fan's true identity caused an uproar among the international leaders, and the hall was buzzing with confusion and excitement.

The realization of being played like a fool traumatized Xiao Chen.

Just a while ago, he was singing praises of Chu Tianfan, making him out to be unparalleled among the elite youths in front of Tang Hao. He swore that otherthan Chu Qitian, only Chu Tianfan was worthy of the Chu Sect's princess, Angie.

Xiao Chen never expected his idol was right in front of him all this time. He even discredited the latter and issued an order to bar the man from the martial arts world in Chinese.

It was such an ironic twist; the Sword Saint felt he had become the butt of the joke.

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Sword Saint. We can always invite him to rejoin our martial arts world in the future." Seeing how Xiao Chen was tormenting himself, Tang Hao sighed and tried to console him, despite his annoyance at his friend's rash behavior earlier.

However, there was no point in crying over spilled milk. There was nothing Tang Hao could do other than offer his assurance that the situation was still salvageable.

The Sword Saint sadly shook his head and said, "That is impossible. He can never come back. Even if he is Chu Tianfan, he has gone down a path of no return when he decided to challenge the Chu Sect. "Tang Hao, I'm simply lamentingthe loss. Chu Tianfan is too obstinate in his ways. If he had obeyed the rules and worked his way up, the War God Castle would have his back when he led us into battle against the Chu Sect. Unfortunately, his unruliness landed us in this tragic situation."

Xiao Chen shared his views with Tang Hao rationally after regaining his composure.

Although his tone was pensive, he had no regrets about his earlier decision.

It did not make a difference whether that man was Ye Fan or Chu Tianfan. It was wrong to risk millions of lives for one man.

Meanwhile, the unexpected disclosure had stunned Angie, too. She murmured to herself, "Ye Fan is... he is part of the Chu family? And he is Uncle Zhenghong's son?"

She remembered when Chu Zhenghong was the head of the family, he frequently went to the Jones residence to visit her. He often teased her by saying if he had a son, he would make her his daughter-in-law At the thought of that, Angie blushed upon realizing that he was not serious after all. Although Ye Fan was thrown out of the Chu family, he was still Chu Zhenghong's flesh and blood. Like all fathers, he would want the best for his son.

All these years, Chu Zhenghong kept a tab on all the young ladies from high societies and the royalties. He was scouting for a prospective wife for his son! His favorite was always Angie, the little princess of the Jones family. Not only was she a true beauty, but she was also impeccable in her manners and character.

Most importantly, her secret would be helpful to his son's career advancement. That was the reason he had always considered Angie to be the best candidate for his daughter-in-law.

Chu Zhenghong had absolutely no regard for the marriage agreement for Angie and Chu Qitian, an arrangement made by the two families. He was not about to give up on his prospective daughter-in-law this easily.

However, things didn't go as he planned. His efforts were in vain.

Chu Zhenghong nearly had a heart attack when he heard Ye Fan became a live-in son-in-law after he married Qiu Mucheng.

A live-in son-in-law? That brat will be the death of me! For ten years, I fantasized about him marrying Angie. Poof! The unruly rascal dashed my dream of having the perfect daughter-in-law.

A furious Chu Zhenghong went to China to bring Ye Fan back with him. However, the dust had settled. He could not change his son's mind, so he begrudgingly accepted Qiu Mucheng as his daughter-in-law instead.

Just when he thought Angie and Ye Fan were not destined to be together, life threw them a curveball. The two met and got acquainted.

Ye Fan was unperturbed by the commotion caused by the revelation of his true identity. He was looking around the hall as if he was searching for someone. His intent was clear-to seek revenge on the Chu family, the people who had brought much sorrow and suffering to him and his mother.

He ignored Chu Zhengliang's taunts and brushed the latter aside. "We will settle our differences later."

Then he roared, "Where is Chu Zhenghong? Tell him to come out here! Is the old fart Chu Yuan still alive? If he's still breathing, I want his as* out here right now! Tell him Chu Tianfan, the unworthy descendant with a commoner mother, has returned. The child he banished from the family is here for payback!"

Ye Fan glanced around the hall. Finally, he lost control and unleashed the pent-up anger.

Suddenly, everyone could feel a tense vibe looming.

He had waited for that moment for ten years. Every day, he would repeat those words in his mind in preparation for this day.

He could never forget how Chu Yuan had ruthlessly cast him and his mother out while the elders of the family watched in silence. He also hated Chu Zhenghong for not protecting his wife and son.

Ye Fan released the anger and grievances that he had bottled up for a decade. At that moment, the crowd could clearly feel the intensity of his malice against the Chu family. "You've gone too far!"

"Mind your words! How could you disrespect our patriarch?"

"Even your dad would not have dared to disparage the patriarch like this!"

Ye Fan's defiance infuriated the Chu family. One after another, they stepped up to tell him off.

"B*stard, how dare you come back?"

"Back then, you and your mother caused an uproar within the family. We were gracious enough to spare your lives. Instead of being thankful, you have the audacity to insist on payback?" "What right do you have to ask for payback?"

"The Chu family don't owe you a single thing!"

"An illegitimate brat like you wouldn't appreciate our benevolence. We should not have spared your lives. If we had finished you off back then, it would have saved us a lot of trouble." Although the elders knew Ye Fan was the boy banished from the family, they showed no remorse for what they had done to him and his mother.

Ye Fan's accusations aggravated the men. They saw no justification for his hatred.

"You don't owe me anything? Are you sure? Were you not the ones who humiliated my mother and me back then? And weren't you the ones who made life a living hell for us?" he retorted.

Then he suddenly changed his tone and agreed with them. "But you are right! Indeed, the Chu family doesn't owe me anything. It is you scumbags I should go after personally!

"I, Chu Tianfan, came back not only to seek justice for my mother and me. The Chu ancestors pleaded to me in my dreams, asking for help to restore the family honor by getting rid of scumbags like you!"

Boom!

After he finished that sentence, Ye Fan emitted an explosive wave of energy. The floor cracked under his feet, causing a terrifying tremor that threw everyone onto the floor.

"Die!" he roared and launched a furious strike at the elders.

They were shocked beyond words and stood rooted to on the spot. We never knew the brat became so formidable.

"Stop it, you b*stard!"
