A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1884

With the vast horizon behind him, the man stood as he watch the endless flow of cars before him with an expressionless face. Every step he took made the ground rumble.

The man was exuding a murderous aura, startling any pedestrians that had walked too close to him.

"Sir, are you all right? Do you need some help? Do talk to a police officer if you need help. Please don't do anything silly."

Although some kind-hearted pedestrians were concerned about the man, the man simply remained silent and kept walking forward.

If there was a martial artist present, they would surely realize that the intimidating aura released by the man resembled a raging fire that was slowly building.

With such obvious hostility, the pedestrians eventually started to steer clear of the man, keeping their distance.

The murderous intent exuded by him was so cold that it seemed to have frozen the grass and trees, all while dust and gravel billowed in the air.

In the meantime, the pedestrians cowered in fear as they stared at the man who looked just like a demon from hell.

There were ten major tourist attractions in Westlake, including the causeway, the lotus flowers, Peace Lake, and the broken bridge covered with snow.

Since it was spring then, Chu Wenfei couldn't see the broken bridge covered with snow when he revisited Westlake.

Standing on the causeway, I feel like everything revives during spring. However, unlike nature, Ye Fan and the Zhang family won't have the chance to rise again. Chu Wenfei was overwhelmed with mixed feelings as he gazed at the beautiful scenery of Westlake.

Deep down, he felt that everything seemed to be signifying the arrival of the new era.

After Ye Fan passed away, a new leader was now at the helm of Jiangdong.

Not to mention, Jiangbei would welcome their new king soon.

It was as if everything would eventually rise from the ashes.

Chu Wenfei felt that the world had somehow become unfamiliar, for he could no longer hear any news about Ye Fan anymore.

Besides, all his acquaintances had either retired from the frontlines or disappeared.

Suddenly, Chu Wenfei felt that he had aged and that the era that had once belonged to his generation had since passed.

"I hated Ye Fan to the core when he was alive, but now that he's gone, I somehow miss him." Meanwhile, on Heart Island, many guests had arrived and were congratulating the Meng family. Just as Chu Wenfei was reminiscing his memories, more guests had arrived at Heart Island. At noon, the banquet in Westlake officially began.

The servants led Chu Wenfei and the other nobles to take their respective seats.

Soon, various delicacies and bottles of wine were sent to the banquet venue by way of boats.

All the guests enjoyed the food and wine as they gazed at the mesmerizing scenery of Westlake. "Hmm? She looks kind of familiar..."

As Chu Wenfei lifted his glass of wine, he suddenly noticed a man and a woman sitting at an unnoticeable corner. Although both were wearing masks, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity after staring at their eyes.

Somehow, Chu Wenfei felt that he had met the woman before but couldn't recall where or when.

Just when he was sifting through his memory to figure out who the woman was, his thought was disrupted by the arrival of Meng Wanjun.

"He's here!"

"The star of the banquet is finally here!"

"So, that's the head of the Meng family, Meng Wanjun, huh?"

"That's right! From now on, he will reign over Jiangbei."

The billionaires got excited and had looks of admiration in their eyes.

Chu Wenfei raised his head and saw an elegantlooking middle-aged man walking up the stage as the crowd ushered him.

Beside him stood two young men.

Chu Wenfei was shocked when he recognized one of the young man. "Meng Chuan?"

"Oh? Mr. Chu, you know Mr. Meng? You two look around the same age and live in Livingsfill. Since the upper-class society isn't that big, I'm sure you must know him well, right?" one of the billionaires asked with a grin.

Chu Wenfei flashed him a smile and replied, "Of course. How can I not know him? After all, Mr. Meng is interested in one of my friend's wives."

The billionaire remarked, "Is that true? But, I have heard that Mr. Meng is a playboy. What a spoiled brat. In any case, he's way below his brother in terms of virtue.

"You see that other young man? He's Meng Wanjun's illegitimate son. Although his lowly status paled in comparison to Meng Chuan's, he is virtuous and competent. Since Meng Wanjun allowed him to stand beside him, I think the answer to who will be the next head of the Meng family has become uncertain."

Being the richest man and the new leader of Jiangbei, everything related to Meng Wanjun could draw people's attention.

As such, the Meng family's internal affairs became the favorite topic among the upper-class society in Jiangbei.

"Thank you for attending the banquet in Westlake today. I, Meng Wanjun, would like to express my gratitude to all of you."

All the guests stopped talking and turned to the stage when they heard Meng Wanjun's loud voice.

On that day, Meng Wanjun officially became the most important person around which everything in Jiangbei revolved.

At that moment, at a corner where the guests barely noticed, a woman was standing there, her expression had turned cold, and her breathing became rapid.

Just then, a man gently placed his hand on her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't forget the purpose of our trip today. Keep calm. We have to wait until Mr. Chu returns from his solitary training." The woman didn't utter a word and merely nodded in response.

Meanwhile, Meng Wanjun continued, "A century ago, the Meng family lived in a rural village in Livingsfill and barely had any significance. Since my ancestors refused to accept their fate, they left the village and entered the city. With wisdom and hard work, they successfully made a name and fortune for themselves. After the hard work of several generations, the Meng family finally gained a firm foothold in Jiangbei." After pausing for a while, he added, "However, the Zhang family is cruel and jealous of our family. A few decades ago, they oppressed my family and drove my forebearers to death. My three grandpas committed suicide with a sword in front of the Zhang residence!

"Of course, the tragedy of the Meng family was only one of the atrocities that the Zhang family has committed. In fact, the Zhang family was the mastermind behind numerous tragic incidents!

Hence, it is no exaggeration to say that Jiangbei had suffered fora longtime under the leadership of the Zhang family. Since most prominent figures of Jiangbei have gathered at the banquet in Westlake today, I, on behalf of the heavens, shall mete out punishment for Zhang Jiuling!"

Boom!

The next moment, a few-meter-tall cross made of stone was erected at the back of the hall.

An elderly man could be seen hanging on the cross.

The man in tattered clothes looked disheveled, and his body was full of bloody wounds.

One could hardly believe that the elderly man before them was none otherthan Zhang Jiuling, the head of the Zhang family and the former director of Jiangbei Martial Arts Association.

"Grandpa!" The woman who stood in the corner growled when she saw the elderly man.

Her eyes turned bloodshot as tears began to form.

She wanted to rush to the front with a sword, but the middle-aged man beside her stopped her.

Lu Ziming held onto Zhang Zixi and persuaded her nervously, "Zixi, calm down! There are many skilled fighters who are protecting the Meng family now. You and I are no match forthem. Our only option is to wait until Mr. Chu returns. Right now, only Mr. Chu can save your grandpa."
