A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1881

The battle at Eastsea had undoubtedly changed Ye Fan greatly.

He used to be an incredibly arrogant and insolent person, but he became a lot more reserved after that battle.

The best way to describe him now would be a sword that had lost its edge and got sealed in its scabbard.

Had it been in the past, Ye Fan would probably have slaughtered the entire Meng family the moment Meng Chuan set his sights on Qiu Mucheng.

However, that was clearly not the case after Ye Fan changed.

Despite what Meng Chuan did to him at the auction as well as his attempts to steal the clover herb, Ye Fan chose not to kill him.

He assumed that his acts of mercy would cause the Meng family to change their ways, but it seemed that he was wrong about them.

Some people didn't deserve to be shown mercy at all, and Meng Chuan was a prime example of said people.

Although Ye Fan had spared his life multiple times, Meng Chuan still came after Hu Yipeng and his family.

All the regret and anger that Ye Fan felt had turned into an icy-cold murderous intent that manifested in the form of a raging thunderstorm, sweeping across the land.

The men from the Meng family froze in fear as they watched Ye Fan levitate into the air.

His slender figure combined with his domineering air of might gave him an ethereal appearance.

The men were so terrified that they all stared wide-eyed at him like he was a ghost.

"B-Boss, he can fly?"

"I can't believe it! He's actually flying!"

Some of them even lost control of their bladder at the unbelievable sight.

Although they had witnessed plenty of incredible feats from martial artists over the years, it was their first time seeing someone levitate.

Like everyone else, they believed the ability to defy gravity was something that only existed in works of fiction.

None of them had ever dreamed of actually seeing a real person levitate before their very eyes.

In that instant, the men felt like the world around them had been turned upside down.

It was as if everything they knew about the world had been proven to be wrong.

Just like that, whatever arrogance and insolence they had a while ago was gone in an instant.

Seeing Ye Fan levitate in the air caused the men to lose their will to fight, and the only thing they could thinkofdoingwasto run like hell.

However, Ye Fan wasn't about to let them escape after what they had done.

Just as Junie had predicted, the day that Chu Tianfan returned would be the day evildoers perished.

Whoosh!

A strong wind started blowing the moment the Meng family's men tried to escape.

Had War God and the others been there at the time, they would've felt the elemental force being drawn toward Ye Fan's body like it was being summoned. Having attained the highest possible level in martial arts training, he could turn everything in the world into a source of power.

The concentration of elemental force gathered around his hands was so high that it turned into balls of flames.

Like fireworks, the balls of flames exploded in the sky as they floated around Ye Fan's body.

After that, Ye Fan took control of the flames and turned them into fiery scythes before launching them at the fleeing men.

Their anguished cries could be heard as their bodies were consumed by the bright red flames one after another.

Some of them turned into ashes halfway through screaming in pain, while others were turned into ashes before they could even scream.

It was such a terrifying sight to behold that the remaining survivors simply stopped running

altogether.

Their legs then gave out beneath them, and they fell weakly to the floor.

"P-Please spare our lives! We don't want to die!"

"We were just following orders! This has nothing to do with us!"

"Please let us go! I have an eighty-year-old disabled mother and two babies back at home! They can't live without me, so I can't afford to die like this!"

The survivors were sobbing as they begged for mercy on their knees, but Ye Fan was completely unfazed by their pleas.

There were no fluctuations in his emotions as he stared coldly at them from above.

There's no way these guys have truly repented their ways. They're probably just saying all that out of fear after witnessing my power. Had I been weak like Mr. Hu and Tangtang, I would undoubtedly have shared their tragic fate. Besides, I'm not going to let them off easy even if these men did truly repent. Everyone is responsible for their own actions in this world. These men's fates were sealed the moment they hurt Mr. Hu

and his family! They cannot be forgiven!

With that in mind, Ye Fan waved his arm and torched the surviving men to kingdom come.

"What's that, Ye Fan? It looks so pretty..." Tangtang asked when she saw the men explode into balls of flames up in the sky.

Having regained some consciousness after receiving some elemental force from Ye Fan, she tilted her head to get a better look at the flames in the sky.

For a second there, it looked like the end of the world had come.

"Those are fireworks, Tangtang. I prepared them just for you. Do you like it?" Ye Fan said with a gentle smile.

Tangtang nodded, and a faint smile formed on her pale face.

Meanwhile, things were getting merry over at the Meng family manor.

The entire manor had been renovated and decorated to match the celebratory mood everyone was in.

Fresh flowers and red carpets were laid out all the way to the end of the road.

On top of that, a golden dragon head statue was placed outside the manor's entrance to signify their position as the most powerful existence in Jiangbei.

Those walking past the street stared at the Meng family manor in both awe and respect.

"Sigh... The new shall always replace the old, huh?"

"Who would've thought that the Zhang family that dominated Jiangbei for so long would be destroyed in one night?"

"From now on, the Meng family will be the only one calling the shots here in Jiangbei."

"Yeah! The current head of the Meng family is a ruthless and ambitious man, after all."

"Just a few days ago, Meng Wanjun and his son were kneeling in front of the Zhang family's house as they begged for forgiveness. A few days later, he showed up at the Zhang family residence with his men and leveled the place!" "The Zhang brothers were all killed that very night, and Patriarch Zhang was captured after being severely wounded! I heard his granddaughter was the only one who escaped that night!" "Even so, what could a girl like her possibly do? This prominent family is completely done for!"

The Zhang family's annihilation was the most shocking incident that had taken place in Jiangbei lately. The fact that the Meng family was the one who took them out made it all the more shocking. Most of the older generation in Jiangbei knew about the history between the two prominent families.

"Generations worth of hatred, all unleashed over the course of a single night..."

"Back then, the Zhang family forced the three Meng family brothers to kill themselves as punishment. Now, Meng Wanjun has crushed the Zhang family and killed hundreds of their people in revenge!"

"This is all a matter of cause and effect..."

Due to the history between the two families, the annihilation of the Zhang family became a hot topic

of discussion all over Jiangbei.

As the people continued talking about the incident, things slowly grew quiet as most of the Meng family members had left the manor.

Soon, Meng Chuan was the only one remaining.

"We should get going, Mr. Meng. The banquet at Westlake is about to begin," said one of his subordinates as he brought the car over to the entrance of the manor.

"Let's wait a little while longer," Meng Chuan replied.

He was waiting for a phone call to confirm the death of Ye Fan.

Meng Chuan had received word about Ye Fan showing up a while ago.
