A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1864
"I understand that you have no idea what Sky Ranking means since you have been away from the martial arts world for a long time. I can explain it to you.
"You should know that the Mo Clan from Zhonghai is the most powerful family in China. They have family members in all of the highest positions in both politics and business. The power and wealth they hold are enough to affect the country's future."
"You've asked me why the Mo family's grip on power has lasted for almost a century. The answer is simple. They are the most powerful martial arts family in China."
"Out of the ten Grandmasters born in the family throughout the century, four of them are supreme grandmasters!"
"The third most powerful person on Mount Yan is the King of Fighters, Mo Gucheng. He is the Supreme pillarof China and the uncle of the current head of the Mo family. His son, Mo Wuya, has also achieved the same Supreme title as him." "Mo Gucheng is said to be the most powerful member ever in the Mo family. However, he didn't even make it to the top twenty of the Sky Ranking."
"On the other hand, Chu Tianfan is at the top of the Sky Ranking. He is the only representative from China and Asia that made it to the top ten of the list!" Zhang Jiuling exclaimed. Zhang Zixi and the others were so shocked that they could not say anything in response.
The wide hall was so silent that the sound of a needle falling to the ground would be heard clearly.
The Zhang family was utterly petrified.
Zhang Zixi was so scared that her knees weakened, causing her to kneel at the ground with a loud thump.
The Mo family in Zhonghai depended on Mo Gucheng to achieve their position as the most prominent family in China.
However, such a powerful person like Mo Gucheng couldn't even make it into the top twenty of the Sky Ranking.
How powerful and terrifying does one have to be to make it to the top of the Sky Ranking? He must be
powerful enough to change the whole world!
At that point, Zhang Zixi was too frightened to think further.
Tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably as she continued kneeling on the ground.
All this time, she thought she of how had looked down on Ye Fan.
Now that she knew about Ye Fan's capability, she realized she had completely underestimated him.
He was at another level that she could never imagine.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa. My impulsiveness has gotten all of you in deep trouble..." Still kneeling on the ground and in tears, Zhang Zixi lowered her head in shame as she apologized. The other members of the Zhang family kept quiet.
Zhang Xu and the others who were defending Zhang Zixi before were all too terrified to say another word.
Zhang Jiuling glared at them coldly and scolded, "All of you are too ignorant."
"I'll make this clear now. From today onwards, no one shall offend Chu Tianfan, or else I will feed you to the sharks personally before he does it! The Zhang family shall not tolerate such idiots!" Zhang Jiuling's voice echoed in the vast hall.
Knowing that it signified the end of their arrogant days in Jiangbei, Zhang Xu and the others lowered their head in fright and dared not reply.
On the other hand, Ye Fan and Tangtang arrived at the courtyard.
Yue Yingchun and Hu Yipeng were waiting for them in a room.
When Yue Yingchun saw Ye Fan, she immediately blamed him, "Why are you back so late today? Your sister has already arrived a while ago. Come and eat before the dishes get cold!" Yue Yingchun opened the covered dishes and handed Ye Fan a bowl of rice.
Right after Yue Yingchun finished, Tangtang, face reddened with excitement, told her parents excitedly,
"Dad, Mom, a bunch of bad guys were here just now! They all had guns and wanted to capture me and Ye Fan!"
What?
"What are you talking about, Tangtang? Why are there bad guys?"
"What's going on, Ye Fan? Was the commotion out there just now gunshots?"
Still serving food, Yue Yingchun couldn't help but shudder in fear.
A few minutes ago, they heard loud sounds from far away but didn't think too much because they thought it was just a few kids playing with fireworks.
However, after what Tangtang said, they were all perked up and anxious.
"It's nothing, Mdm. Yue. They've left. I suppose they found the wrong person?" Ye Fan tried to make up a story because he didn't want to involve Yue Yingchun's family in the martial arts world. However, Tangtang wouldn't stop talking about it. She continued excitedly, "Why are you lying to my mum, Ye Fan? The bad guys were there to find you and chase you out of Jiangbei."
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, Ye Fan is amazing. He chased all of them away on his own! He even broke theircarwindows! In the end, those bad guys had to run away limping. Ye Fan is the best!" Tangtang exclaimed in excitement and admiration.
Even if she didn't see the whole incident, she did see the Zhang family fleeing away from Ye Fan in a pathetic way.
Ye Fan had become a hero to Tangtang after that.
As she described the incident to her parents proudly, Ye Fan hurriedly explained, "Mdm. Yue, Tangtang is just exaggerating. It really was nothing. Let's start eating before the food turns cold." "No!" Tangtang protested, "Dad, Mom, if you don't believe me, I can bring you there! There's a lot of glass shards on the ground."
In the end, Yue Yingchun and her husband followed Tangtang to the place where the fight happened.
When they returned, their expression changed drastically.
After locking the door, they asked Ye Fan to go to their room.
"Tell us honestly, Ye Fan. Did you get into some trouble?" Yue Yingchun interrogated in a serious tone while Hu Yipeng stood beside them gravely.
"No, Mdm. Yue. I'm not in any trouble." Ye Fan put on a smile and tried his best to assure them.
"How dare you lie to me!" Yue Yingchun scolded.
"Not only did we see the glass shards, but also the bloodstains and bullet casings on the ground!"
"Please tell me the truth, Ye Fan. Did you get into some trouble with someone powerful?"
"Tangtang is my daughter. Do you really think I'm unable to tell when she is telling the truth and when she is lying?" Yue Yingchun pressed on anxiously.
Hu Yipeng's eyes were filled with worry as he said, "Ye Fan, if there's anything, please let us know."
"Mdm. Yue and I may not be big shots, but we have lived longer than you and are more experienced than you. If you are indeed in some trouble, we may be able to help you."
Ye Fan knew that there was no way of keeping it from them any longer. "Mr. Hu, Mdm. Yue, I have indeed run into some kind of trouble just now, but it's all settled now. They won't be coming again in the future."
"Who are those people who bullied you? Do you want to go to the police?" Worried, Yue Yingchun asked.
Ye Fan shook his head and replied, "I think they were from the Zhang family, but it shouldn't be a problem now. Mr. Zhang probably has given them a lecture about it already," Ye Fan smiled.
He didn't care too much about the incident because he believed that it was Zhang Zixi acting on her impulse.
As for Zhang Jiuling, he was too smart to act rashly.
"What did you say? The Zhang family?"
"Which family are you referring to?" Hu Yipeng shuddered as he asked Ye Fan.
"The head of the family is Zhang Jiuling if I'm not mistaken," Ye Fan replied.
"Zhang... Zhang Jiuling?" If there had been any color remaining on Hu Yipeng's face previously, it was all drained out now.
