A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1965

The reflection of the shiny sword illuminated the sky in hues of crimson red as though it was releasing its anger to the heavens.

"Scarlet Flame, the divine sword!"

As Ye Fan named the sword, his voice, crisp and clear, echoed all around the crowd, leaving them totally astounded.

The eerie shade of red shining forth from that divine sword alongside its strange sparkling flames made the hearts of the Viases lurch rapidly in a beating frenzy. They had pits in their stomachs when they realized the gravity of the situation.

Anyhow, there were a few bravehearts in their midst.

One of Norton's trusted aides started bawling his eyes out upon seeing the mighty head of the family turning into a pile of ashes within seconds.

"Mr. Vias! How dare a b*stard like you kill my leader? I'll fight you to death!"

As he barked with utmost anger, he pulled out a gun, aimed it at Ye Fan, and fired away without any

hesitation.

On the contrary, the latter did not even spare him a glance.

Swoosh!

A muffled sound was heard as Ye Fan withdrew yet another long sword out of its scabbard from his back.

Without batting an eyelid, he charged forward and slashed Norton's trusted aide into two horizontally.

Instantly, blood spurted uncontrollably like a water fountain.

"Smashing Uplands, the mighty blade!"

Then, he pierced the sword through the ground, allowing the bright sunlight to reflect the sharp edge of the sword, showcasing its menacing glint.

With that, the second sword was named Smashing Uplands.

"Is there anyone else who's dissatisfied?"

Once again, Ye Fan's authoritative voice reverberated through the humungous hall, leaving it in deathly

silence.

Shortly after, the pin-drop silence was interrupted by those who had been promoted by Norton when he was still alive.

Loyalty and pride were written all over their faces.

"I object! Noa betrayed her family. She was in cahoots with an outsider to sabotage Mr. Gray. And now, she ganged up with our rival and murdered her very own brother! The various sins she has committed are unforgivable! The Vias family has had a well-known reputation for several centuries. How can the hard work of our past generations be in vain? This evil woman is going to ruin everything that the former heads of the family had built up for years!"

Soon, another one refuted, which prompted more elders in the family to make their voices heard. Then, people started expressing their displeasure vehemently.

"Exactly!"

"She's good for nothing. All of us are against this decision!" "She? The head of the family? Over my dead body!"

The crowd began to raise a ruckus and spat harsh lines at her.

Those who voiced their objections were the elders in the family, who controlled countless family businesses. If someone wants to take over the whole Vias family, they will need to initiate a massacre and wipe out all of us. Simply killing a few Tom, Dick, and Harry won't make any difference. After all, how can that inexperienced brat lead a big family without our help?

With that powerful trump card in mind, the group felt supported to go against Ye Fan and be impudent in their argument.

Unbeknownst to them, they had underestimated what Ye Fan could do.

Faced with the childish behaviors of the gang, Ye Fan merely chuckled coldly in response.

"In that case, allow me to cement your disappointment completely and send you six feet under!"

Swoosh!

Another sharp sound was heard as Ye Fan whipped

out his third precious weapon from its sheath.

A long spear towered in their midst.

As it moved at supersonic speed, bolts of lightning flashed in the hall, leaving everyone in a daze.

When they finally snapped back to their senses, they realized that there was a burning patch on their chests.

It seemed that the spear had pierced through each of their bodies without their realization!

"You... you..." the elders stammered in a trembling voice.

Stunned, they stared at Ye Fan wordlessly.

They wanted to say something. However, all that came out of their mouths was blood.

Right then, an ice-blue spear loomed over them victoriously from behind.

"Zephyr, the invincible spear!"

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

At that instant, those who were taunting and mocking Ye Fan collapsed to the ground like fallen leaves.

"Now, who else wants to state their objection?"

Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.

Promptly, an absolute silence descended over the bloody conference hall.

The gory scenes made the place look like hell, whereas the man standing in front of them was its ruler.

He was ready to let anyone else who opposed him have a taste of his weapons.

Ye Fan's imposing aura and domineering presence were like a tumultuous storm, striking fear into the self-proclaimed aristocratic families. As such, no one else dared to disobeyed him.

Upon witnessing how the tables had turned, a few quick-witted elders immediately dashed over to Noa and knelt down before her.

"I, Jeet, hereby pledge my loyalty toward Madam

Vias, the head of the Vias family!"

Whoosh!

Humans were inclined to follow the herd mentality.

Following Jeet's lead, the remaining elders and leaders acquiesced to the majority's decision and started kowtowing Noa.

"We welcome Madam Vias as the new head of the family!"

"Henceforth, we will follow all of your orders without question."

Everyone present paid homage to Noa, flooding the hall with praises and words spoken in reverence and admiration.

Basked in the glorious adulation of the elders, Ye Fan held Noa's hand and led her to the throne. Just like that, the young girl in her twenties reached the pinnacle of the secular factions in India! "From today onward, you shall be the ruler of India," Ye Fan declared proudly in a low voice.

Noa had not expected this at all. A few minutes ago, she was still drowning in despair. But now, she was sitting on the highest throne of India, overlooking a sea of people bowing down and uttering respectful words to her.

"Thank you, Ye Fan. However, instead of becoming the head of the Vias family, I long to be your..."

The crowd had finally been dismissed. With Ye Fan's swift and ruthless attack, the episode of mutiny went well and ended according to plan.

No one felt sorry for all those who had been killed by Ye Fan.

As always, no power struggle could be won without any gruesome sacrifices.

Moreover, Norton was deemed unscrupulous in the way he had ascended to the throne.

He had killed his adoptive father, put the blame on Noa, and stole what was not meant to be his.

Additionally, those who sided with Norton chose to do evil and were notorious for being ruthless. Surely, they deserved death.

With the acknowledgment and support of the Vias elders, Noa finally had everything returned to her, holding the highest power and authority in the household.

The Vias family was the most distinguished and prominent family in India.

As the leader of the family, Noa's position was equivalent to royalty.

Henceforth, everyone in the business world must act according to her commands. Who would dare to challenge her?

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Noa were walking in the extravagant hallway of the family manor.

When some of the family members passed them by, Noa noticed that those casting contemptuous looks at her several days ago were then hanging their heads low and speaking respectfully and humbly to her. Deep down, she knew that these people did not revere her but Ye Fan.

She was cognizant that he was the source of her success as well as everything that came along with it.

Had anyone else who was an outcast suddenly possessed immense power, the person would definitely be on cloud nine.

However, Noa was not such a person.

Compared to becoming the head of the family or the so-called 'ruler' of India, there was something else that Noa truly desired with all of her heart and soul.

As she looked at Ye Fan in the eyes, she could barely control her emotions.

Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her, "There's no need to thank me. You deserve it. You treated me with sincerity, and I shall repay you with the most coveted title."

"But..." She wanted to say more.

Yet, he did not give her a chance to do so. "I heard that the King of India is having his wedding ceremony tomorrow, and the Vias family is coordinating this important event."

He continued, "After this, please instruct everyone to keep the change of the family leader under wraps. It's best not to let Fen Tian know for now. As for the wedding, it should carry on as planned. This time,

let's play a game with them and see how they fall into the trap. I'll make sure that Fen Tian dies a horrible death for capturing Junie!"

There was an undertone of murderous intent in Ye Fan's chilling words.

Seeing his response, Noa swallowed her unspoken words and did not bring them up again.

She gazed at him and muttered, "Ye Fan, I know where Junie is."

What?

"Tell me quick, where is she?" the usually calm Ye Fan became all worked up and asked for more information.

Noa said under her breath, "Come with me."

Subsequently, she led him deeper into the manor until they both arrived at a bamboo house.

"Junie is inside. You may go in."

He did not wait for Noa to complete her sentence before barging into the house frantically.

When she saw how anxious he was, a sheer disappointment crept up on Noa.

She had no intention of disturbing their reunion. As sorrow overwhelmed her, she turned and left.
