A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1673

Chu Sen babbled on, "If you include the foreign branches, the numbers will be even more. There will be a lot of procedures to go through and a lot of details to be discussed if everyone goes to China. So, once a detailed plan has been made we'll inform you straight away."

"Discuss?" Ye Fan frowned. "How much time do you need?"

"Three days," Chu Shen replied.

Ye Fan objected immediately. "I cannot give you three days. I will only give you three hours. After three hours, the whole Chu clan will follow me to China to kneel and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, don't blame my men for being cold-blooded and ruthless!"

Ye Fan stomped his foot, and a long sword on the ground that was left behind by someone instantly cracked and shattered.

"You..."

Without a doubt, the Chu family members were extremely angered and annoyed by Ye Fan's insistence.

All this while, the Chus were the ones who made demands and threats. No one had dared to demand anything from them or threaten them.

This was the first time they were being treated this way, and the Chu family was filled with indignation.

"Chu Tianfan, don't be unreasonable!"

"Don't think that just because you have defeated the head of the Chu family, the whole Chu clan must be at your mercy."

"Let me warn you. Even if your father, Chu Zhenghong is here, he would not have dared to speak so arrogantly to us."

The elder members of the Chu family were livid.

Chu Qitian yelled out, calling for the whole clan to attack Ye Fan.

He was willing to fight back even if it meant death.

At that critical moment, Chu Shen, the highest-ranking of the Chu family members, spoke up once again. "Be silent, all of you!"

His booming voice reverberated through the area and quickly caught attention of the crowd.

He turned toward Ye Fan, his face devoid of any emotions and he said coldly, "All right. Chu Tianfan, we will do as you say. Three hours later, the whole Chu family will come out with a detailed plan, and we'll go to China with you."

Then, he turned to look at the crowd, and said sternly, "Everyone from the Chu family, follow me back home immediately!"

"Grandpa Shen, we can't just go. My wedding ceremony isn't even finished yet. Besides, if we go, won't we get looked down by others for yielding to this bastard child?

Disagreeing with Chu Shen, Chu Qitian opposed his idea and tried to dissuade him.

"I'm going to say this just once. We're leaving!"

Chu Shen ignored Chu Qitian's words. In fact, he was even angered by them.

At this point, how can this moron still be thinking about his marriage?If he can't even get his priorities right, how will he lead the Chu family in the future? In fact, he doesn't even have the right to call himself the heir of

the Chu family.

Nevertheless, Chu Shen kept these thoughts to himself and did not chide him in public.

Glaring at Chu Qitian angrily, he simply led the Chu family members home.

Since the other family members had left, Chu Qitian had no choice but to follow Chu Sen's orders, albeit unwillingly.

In the end, he trudged along with the others, leaving Chu Sect Castle.

However, as he was leaving, he shouted to Ye Fan, "Chu Tianfan, don't be too happy yet, you hear? This is not over! I'll settle my scores with you eventually!"

His father was injured and his wife was taken away.

At that moment, Chu Qitian was bursting with hatred and resentment for Ye Fan.

However, for Ye Fan, Chu Qitian's furious verbal attacks were simply like the yapping of a rabid dog to his ears and he couldn't be bothered by it.

With an indifferent gaze, he watched the Chu family

depart.

"Dragon Master, why not just kill him? I can't bear how the b*stard just kept insulting you!"

Gaius gritted his teeth angrily as he looked in the direction where Chu Qitian was departing before glancing at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head. "To kill any of the Chu family members is too swift a punishment. Isn't it better to kneel and beg for forgiveness instead?"

"But Dragon Master, will the Chu family really honor their promises? I always feel that they have some evil scheme planned. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed so readily to return to China with us," After the Chu family left, Owen voiced his doubts, trying to give Ye Fan a heads up.

Ye Fan was as calm as ever when he replied flatly, "What is there to worry about? We have the upper hand here. No matter how hard they try to resist, they cannot change the outcome. All their schemes and plans will not delay the inevitable."

He then added grimly, "Of course, I'll be more than willing to show them mercy if they keep their word. However, if they try to pull any tricks or treachery, I

will vanquish the whole clan."

Although his tone sounded flat and full of indifference, the power in his words was horrifying, dripping with malice.

Mochizuki Kawa and the others trembled involuntarily.

What kind of man is he to exert such power? Not to mention he's still so you ng! Back then, he had singlehandedly stirred up Japan's martial arts world. Today, it seemed like he would destroy the Chu family and raze the Chu residence to the ground from the tone of his voice. Clap! Clap! Clap!

The sound of applause sounded out.

Gaius and the others turned around to see the head of elders of the Chu Sect clapping his hands and walking toward them.

With a soft voice, he uttered, "Mr. Chu, you are indeed an outstanding young man. You are so aggressive even in your manner of speech. Nevertheless, I have some words of caution for you. The battle earlier was between you and the Chu family. So, with me being from Chu Sect, I did not get involved. However, should you cross a certain boundary, then we of the

Chu Sect will be forced to take some actions."

He added, "The Three Families of the Chu Sect will advance and retreat together. This covenant was made long ago when the sect was established. As such, if one family faces destruction, the other two will not simply sit on the fence."

Smiling, he continued, "Besides, the Chu family is the founder of the Chu Sect. Even though the head of the Chu family is not around now, if the family is in danger, the Chu Sect warriors will definitely lend a helping hand. Hence, I need to remind you, Mr. Chu, that you must know where and when to stop. Or else, once you've crossed the line, it will be too late."

The head of Chu Sect spoke rather politely.

However, behind his words lies an underlying threat that any reasonable person would be able to get.

Ye Fan replied with a cold smile, "I am well aware of what I need and need not do. I do not need outsiders to give me a reminder. That being said, the fact that I came to Mount Chumen today must have given you the impression that I'm trying to go against Chu Sect. Of course, that was never my intention. Should, should Chu Sect act against me, I will not hesitate to retaliate."

He added, "I've said it once and I'll say it again. I will settle my scores with the Chu family today and anyone who tries to stop me will perish!"

Boom!

As Ye Fan spoke, the immense power within him burst forth from his body, causing the ground to shake.

The crowd around him was forced to take several steps back.

"You..."

"How arrogant!"

"Do you really view us from the Chu Sect as weaklings?"

"Are you not afraid of earning yourself a new enemy by offending Chu Sect?"

The other elders of the Chu Sect were angered by Ye Fan's words and started chiding him.

"You can try." Ye Fan's tone was as cold as ever. He had no intention to take back his words.

Livid, the elder of Chu Sect spat, "Hah! Such insolence! But I guess a level of arrogance is to be expected from someone who had managed to defeat Chu Zhengliang. It's a pity that the head of the Chu Sect, Tang Yun, is not here. I wonder if you can still act so pompously if she's here."

It was obvious that the elder of Chu Sect was trying to use Tang Yun's name as a way to pressure Ye Fan.

Gaius smiled slyly when he heard Tang Yun's name being mentioned. "Tang Yun? Hahaha... You people of the Chu Sect should be glad that she's not here. If she is, you guys would have been punished." The others were not aware, but Gaius knew that Tang Yun had a close relationship with the Dragon Master.

Even though Tang Yun's the head of Chu Sect, she might not side with them since Ye Fan is involved.

However, after Gaius finished speaking, he felt someone glaring at him.

Ye Fan was not pleased with Gaius' words and was giving the man a look of disapproval.

"If you say anything more, I'll throw you off the mountain!"

Ye Fan spoke angrily.

Gaius shuddered in fear before zipping his mouth shut.
