A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1850

Though Lu Ziming's heart was filled with hatred, he was still an understanding man.

He hated Ye Fan in the past because he could not get over the hurdle in his life.

Of course, even to this day, he had yet to overcome it.

However, Lu Ziming finally realized he was no match for Ye Fan and would never succeed in taking revenge against him.

Not even a slight chance!

Besides, after Lu Ziming learned Ye Fan was Mortal Spark, his opinion of the latter had changed. Ye Fan is not a ruthless monster. He's a human, after all. To a certain extent, he even sympathized with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had sacrificed so much for China, yet now his own people viewed him as a monster and treated him as their enemy.

Ye Fan has once said he doesn't belong here. I guess I can understand why he said that.

Ye Fan, on the flip side, was surprised to see how cooperative Lu Zimingwas.

He thought he needed to put in extra efforts to subdue Lu Ziming.

Well, I guess things worked out better than I thought.

"The Lu Clan wouldn't have ended in such a miserable state if yourson was as capable as you." Ye Fan grinned.

Ye Fan then gave Lu Ziming a card and instructed him to transfer all of Lu Clan's money over.

"I'll need the money tomorrow," stated Ye Fan. "Do it as soon as possible, and don't give me unnecessary trouble. Don't worry. I'll take it as a loan from you."

"One more thing-do you know which family is the most powerful in Jiangbei?" Ye Fan asked all of a sudden. "I don't mean those influential families we see in newspapers every day. I'm talking about the family that has absolute control over Jiangbei."

When Lu Ziming heard that, his eyes twitched as he stuttered, "W-What do you want to know? What do you want to do to them? Even after destroying the Lu Clan, you're still not satisfied? You killed my father on the day he received the Supreme title, and you even ravaged the entire Westlake. Yet, you still want to target Jiangbei?" Lu Ziming panicked.

As the saying goes-once bitten, twice shy. The Lu Clan used to be Jiangbei's most prominent family, but Ye Fan exterminated it. And now, he still wants to destroy another family?

Lu Ziming could not help but think that Ye Fan was about to go on another killing spree.

"Don't worry. The martial arts world in Jiangbei doesn't bother me anymore. I'll not waste my time and energy dealing with them. I'm looking for them because I need a favor," Ye Fan explained. "You sure?" Lu Ziming looked at him in disbelief.

With a wry smile, Ye Fan responded, "I may have killed a lot of people, but I wouldn't kill people without any reason. I'm sure you're aware of that too, right? Likewise, I'd only destroyed the Lu Clan because your son stepped on my toes in the first place."

After a little hesitation, Lu Ziming decided to give Ye Fan the information he needed. "It's the Zhang family. Its head of the family is Zhang Jiuling, who's also the

director of Jiangbei Martial Arts Association."

He continued, "The man is as capable as my father. It's just that my father managed to bring the Lu Clan to the next level because he became a Grandmaster and obtained the Supreme title first. Now that the Lu Clan is gone, the Zhang family has returned as the most powerful family in Jiangbei."

"How about the Mengs? Aren't they the wealthiest?" Ye Fan shot another question.

Lu Ziming snorted. "You mean Meng Wanjun? He's just an opportunistic businessman. In the martial arts world, he's nothing but a small fry. The Zhangs are the ones in control of the entire Jiangbei."

Lu Ziming explained further, “A person can easily become rich or poor at the Zhang's mercy, as they're in control of all the resources. But of course, they have no power to decide who's qualified to become a Grandmaster."

As someone who had once controlled Jiangbei, Lu Ziming was aware of the development in the region.

Ye Fan nodded. "All right. Make an appointment with Zhang Jiuling for me. Tell him I'll pay him a visit."

"What if he doesn't welcome you?" Lu Ziming asked.

"I'll have to force my way through, then. Tell him no one dares to turn me down." Ye Fan's voice echoed in the air as he vanished into the darkness.

It took Lu Ziming a long time to regain his composure. Letting out a sigh, he mumbled, "Why do we have to deal with an unreasonable man like Ye Fan? What had the Lu Clan done to deserve this?" Meanwhile, Junie had been patiently waiting for Ye Fan.

When she finally saw Ye Fan from a distance, she said with a smile, "So you still resorted to stealing people's money after all, huh?"

Ye Fan was not pleased to hearthat. "Steal? It's a loan. Lu Ziming gave it to me voluntarily. Besides, I taught him martial arts. Let's assume the money he gave me is for the lessons," he uttered as he strode forward with his head raised, protruding his chest proudly.

"Come on. Let's go to the auction. Feel free to bid on anything you desire since we have the money now.

It's not mine anyway, so spend it."

Upon seeing the smug look on Ye Fan's face, Junie could not help but chuckle. This man speaks so differently now that he's rich.

The auction took place at Livingsfill Association.

Ye Fan wore a dragon mask and Junie an adorable rabbit mask to the event.

Both of them caught some people's attention when they entered the hall.

“Look, Mr. Meng!”

Meng Chuan from the Meng family turned around and saw Ye Fan and Junie. "They still have the audacity to come?"

His expression turned grim as their presence irritated him. He could not but recall how they had turned him into a laughing stock during their last encounter.

It was hard to tell what was on their mind based on the expressions on their faces.

Soon, the auction began with an ancient ceramic. The bid for this item started at eight hundred thousand, and Ye Fan won the bid by five million. "Why did you buy it?" asked Junie.

Ye Fan answered, "To use it as a portable urinal!"

The next item was a bra with diamonds.

Ye Fan bid it at three million, successfully securing the item.

Junie looked puzzled. "Why would a man like you buy a woman's bra?"

Ye Fan replied, "It's for you."

Hearing that, Junie knitted her brows in disgust. "No, thanks."

Ye Fan continued bidding for the next two items and won.

No one in the hall could challenge Ye Fan in the auction.

"The price starts at six million!" the host announced.

Ye Fan raised his placard. "Seven million!"

Someone hollered, "Seven million and five hundred thousand!"

"Ten million!" Ye Fan was not ready to back off.

The crowd eventually gave in.

The host continued announcing the starting price of another item, "Five million!"

"Ten million!" Ye Fan uttered, raising his placard.

Once again, his action rendered everyone speechless.

"The next item is our national painter Qi Baishi's landscape painting. It's a collectible item—"

Before the host could complete the sentence, Ye Fan interrupted, "Twenty million!"

What? The f*ck? The host hasn't even announced the starting pricelWhyis he treating an auction like a marketplace?I cannot believe this!

Ye Fan continued bidding in the next few rounds of auction. All the guests looked at him and Junie in disbelief.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't think the richest man in Jiangbei would be as generous as him!"

"He's literally dumping money everywhere!"

"Is he married? I wonder if he's keen to get to know my daughter."

"Oh my God! He's so young. I must add him on WeChat after the auction!"

Ye Fan had instantly become the center of attention, stealing Meng Chuan's thunder.

Meng Chuan could not take it anymore. "What an arrogant b*stard! How dare he do this on my turf! I'll have to teach him a lesson after this!" Infuriated, Meng Chuan said to his subordinates, "Listen. We'll bid for all the items he laid his eyes on next. Let's see who'll have the last laugh!" I'll not allow anyone to challenge my position in Jiangbei!

Meanwhile, Junie frowned and started expressing her dismay, "Ye Fan, you have to stop doing this!"

At this rate, he's gonna spend all the money that Lu Ziming gave him!

"Don't worry, Junie. I know what I'm doing. Just sit back and enjoy the show," Ye Fan responded with a smirk.

No one knew what he had on his mind.
