A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1696

In truth, Chu Yuan already knew the answer when he posed the question.

Nonetheless, he still waited for Moon God to say it out loud.

"Obviously, it's him. Back then, he wreaked havoc in the martial arts world of Japan and killed many of my countrymen. In fact, my fellow student, Susa Mikoto, died by his sword. Consequently, I'm here to bring him back to stand trial. Please Mr. Chu, let me take him on my account."

Despite Moon God's cordial request, her tone clearly demonstrated that her request wasn't up for discussion.

"Is that so? What a coincidence. This b*stard has also caused the Chu family much grief and killed many of our men. Therefore, I hope you can leave him here to be tried by the Chu family on my account. Nevertheless, I'm willing to make some concessions. Since you hate him just as much, I will allow you to mete out his punishment by execution. How about that?" Chu Yuan proposed.

Before Moon God said a word, Mochizuki Kawa exclaimed in delight, "Haha! That's a fantastic idea!" "Your Highness, agree to it. After all, it doesn't matter where we kill Chu Tianfan, does it? If we bring him back, there might be a risk that something untoward happens. Thus, why don't we kill him right here and save us any future trouble?" Mochizuki Kawa advised.

Other than the Chu family, Mochizuki Kawa was among those present who couldn't wait to see Ye Fan killed. After all, there was plenty of bad blood between both of them. Other than the fact that he was almost killed by Ye Fan back then, Ye Fan's massacre of martial artists in Japan had cemented Mochizuki Kawa's hatred toward him. Furthermore, Mochizuki Kawa's ambition was to dominate East Aploth.

However, given Ye Fan's meteoric rise at such a young age, he would be able to outshine Moon God in a few decades.

As the martial arts leader of Japan, Mochizuki Kawa was naturally concerned about the appearance of such a terrifying warrior in a neighboring country.

Prior to that, he was also worried that Moon God would protect Ye Fan at the expense of the bigger picture.

But now, he realized that his concerns were unwarranted.

It appears Her Highness has come to exact revenge on Ye Fan.

Before Mochizuki Kawa could gloat for long, Moon God gave him a tight slap, causing blood to spill out of his mouth.

Sprawled on the ground with a pitiful look on his face, Kawa asked, "Your Highness, what did I do wrong?

Why are you treating me this way?"

Mochizuki Kawa was on the brink of tears.

At the end of the day, he was a martial arts leader of a nation, and it was humiliating for him to be punished in front of the public like that.

"You talk too much!"

As Moon God shot him a glare, her piercing words terrified him into swallowing any word of protest he had.

Meanwhile, King Folo's eyelids twitched as the fearfulness he felt for Moon God deepened.

After all, only someone of Moon God's level can teach a nation's martial arts leader a lesson in front of the other national martial arts leaders.

"Moon God, how about it? I'm sure my suggestion is a good idea. After all, aren't we both looking to end his life? Since we have a mutual interest in this, let's be decisive and send him to meet his maker," Chu Yuan continued.

Moon God shook her head. "I only mentioned that I would put him on trial, not kill him. Perhaps, I will keep him in Tokyo for him to watch over the souls of the dead warriors there. No matter what, I'm going to bring him back alive with me."

The Moon God's authoritative words left no room for any dissent.

"Does this mean that you insist on taking him with you?" Chu Yuan responded with a threatening tone.

Nevertheless, Moon God remained steadfast in her decision. "I don't like repeating myself." "What if I don't agree?" Chu Yuan challenged.

"You will then have to try and stop me." The Moon God's stunning yet expressionless face emanated a commanding aura.

Boom!

Just as they spoke, an explosive power ignited from both their bodies.

It was so intense that tension filled the air.

It felt as if a clash between two giants was imminent.

Even though neither had made a move, their massive auras had enveloped the entire surroundings.

"It seems to me that Your Highness is adamant in fighting me. However, I can sense that you are not at the peak of your powers, and there is still a gap before you reach God Realm." With a sullen expression, Chu Yuan responded with more threats.

Unfazed by them, Moon God replied, "Are you at God Realm?"

"You..."

The Moon God's retort caused Chu Yuan to grimace and rendered him speechless.

"Very well. Tsukuyomi Tenshin, The Chu family will remember what happened today."

After letting out a snort, Chu Yuan turned around and left.

He had implicitly agreed to let Moon God take Ye Fan.

"Dad, we can't allow the enemy to escape! Once he leaves, he will become a huge threat to us in the future."

Chu Zhengliang and the others came forward and urged Chu Yuan to reconsider.

"Shut up! This wouldn't have happened if all of you were more capable. Why don't you kill him yourself instead?" Chu Yuan thundered as he stared angrily at Chu Zhengliang and the others. He was frustrated by the fact that the descendants he raised were inferior to that of an abandoned son.

In truth, Chu Yuan wanted to kill Ye Fan to ward off any future trouble too.

Unfortunately, he was restrained by the fact that Moon God was protecting Ye Fan.

Even at full power, he might not have been able to defeat Moon God, let alone in his injured condition after being struck by Ye Fan's Invoke the Celestial Sky.

Until then, Chu Yuan was still unable to expel the Qi that Ye Fan had pummeled into him.

Evidently, the ultimate technique devised by their predecessors was extremely powerful. Despite the huge gap in skills, Ye Fan managed to cause significant damage to Chu Yuan with it.

The result further strengthened Chu Yuan's resolve to obtain the full version of Invoke the Celestial Cloud.

After Chu Yuan's rebuke, the members of the Chu family kept their mouths shut.

Amidst the Chu family's internal discord, Moon God walked up to Ye Fan and asked gently, "Can you still walk?"

Her gesture filled the shocked Mochizuki Kawa with jealousy and hatred.

Moon God had always been distant and aloof to him.

But with Ye Fan, she would show her warm and attentive side despite being the mightiest god in Japan.

It made him feel as if she was Ye Fan's lover, doting and caring for him.

Ye Fan nodded. "Mmm-hmm, I can still walk. Nevertheless, before we leave, I have to keep my promise to the Chu family. Or else, this trip would've been in vain."

After a brief respite, Ye Fan stood up with his teeth gritted before turning his attention to the Chu family. "Patriarch Chu has always extolled the honor of the Chu family. However, I wonder if Mr. Chu Zhengliang will really keep his word?"

"Definitely. The Chu family is the most prominent family in the world with a long history in martial arts. Therefore, there is no reason for us not to honor our promise," Chu Yuan replied coldly, not knowing what Ye Fan was trying to get at.

"Fine, when Mr. Chu challenged me to a fight, he promised that he would lead the Chu family to China and apologize to my mom if he lost. During that time, there were many warriors who bore witness to his promise. Therefore, isn't it time for him to fulfill it

now?" Ye Fan asked in a solemn tone.

With a darkened expression, Chu Yuan glared at Chu Zhengliang. "What is this about?"
