A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 492 Kept Surging In

The shop owner appeared like the town bully.

He came from a rich family and owned a shop. Since he was usually generous whenever he met up with his friends, he was undoubtedly popular in the small town.

After making his calls, the shop owner managed to get a few dozen friends to turn up.

"Biao, what's up?"

"Why did you call us out of the blue?"

The burly men who turned up at the jewelry shop smiled at the fat shop owner as they asked.

"It's no big deal. Some brat wants to pick a fight with me. Get a few friends to come over and help out! Then stay for dinner after that. I will buy everyone dinner at a good restaurant," said the fat shop owner generously.

"Let's talk about dinner later. We want to know who was reckless enough to stir trouble in your territory?"

"He must be tired of living, right?"

The burly men asked quizzically.

Very quickly, the fat boss pointed out Ye Fan.

"Darn!"

"Was it this brat?"

"He's quite the troublemaker despite his young age. Though I must say that the girl next to him looks very pretty."

"Biao, I think you didn't intend on beating him up. It's really the girl that you want, right?"

Surges of shrill laughter surged through the stop instantly.

Then all eyes turned to look at Xu Lei wantonly.

After all, it was rare for women to have both good looks and a hot body. If they could spend the night with a woman like Xu Lei, it would be admirable even if they died trying.

"How about that, you brat? Are you scared now? But if you get your woman to drink with us tonight, I can pretend nothing happened," said the fat shop owner as he laughed coldly. He clearly fancied Xu Lei and instantly harbored evil intentions for her.

Ye Fan turned to look at them. Then he shook his head and said, "Afraid? Of just you lot?"

Ye fan laughed in disdain.

"You brat, how dare you keep acting tough! Fine, call your men! If no one turns up, I will bloody rip you apart!" said the fat shop owner furiously as he exploded. He didn't expect a young pauper like Ye Fan would be so cocky.

He was on death's doors but continued to speak with such arrogance!

"Biao, what's the point of talking so much to a stupid young man like him?"

"Let's just beat him up and call it a day."

The other men shook their heads and spoke contemptuously.

But the fat shop owner waved his hands and said, "Let's have some fun with him first. I want him to kneel and accept his defeat wholeheartedly today!"

Then Ye Fan laughed loftily instead and said, "Do you want me to call my men? Fine, then as you wish!"

Ye Fan quickly held up his phone and dialed Xue Ren-Yang's number.

"Dragon Master, where are you? The fighting match is starting. Please don't be late for it."

Since the Xue family's family survival hinged on the fighting match, Xue Ren-Yang was particularly anxious and serious, so he asked Ye Fan if he had reached Yanqi Lake the moment he picked up the phone. "We can talk about the match later. I met with some trouble. Someone has me surrounded and told me to gather as many men as I could. Or else they will sleep with my woman tonight," said Ye Fan composedly.

Xue Ren-Yang glared the moment he heard about the situation. Then he suddenly jumped up from the sofa as though he was struck by lightning.

"What? Dragon Master, what...what are you saying here? Did you get surrounded by some hooligans? And they want to sleep with your woman? Do they want to die?" exclaimed Xue Ren-Yang furiously and in shock. His face sank as he gripped the phone tightly in an instant.

Yanjing was Xue Ren-Yang's territory.

It was quite an embarrassment for Xue Ren-Yang for Ye Fan to encounter such problems at his home base.

Xue Ren-Yang said coldly, "Dragon Master, just wait for me. I will there in a minute!"

His voice sounded gloomy and filled with intense coldness and murderous violence.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Ren-Yang called Xue Ming-Xin and asked, "Ming-Xin, how many men do we have outside Yanqi Lake?"

"We have hundreds of men there. Don't worry, Uncle Ren-Yang. Our entire private army is here. Also, the retired military personnel that the Xue family took in are all here too. And I called the security company to send a few busloads of guards over. So Yanqi Lake is completely secure, and no one can enter without tickets!" replied Xue Ming-Xin as he patted his chest confidently.

All the powerful families of Yanjing sent men to help seal off Yanqi Lake each year for the fighting match.

Ordinary folk were banned from coming within a few hundred meters of the lake.

The Xue family sent a lot of men since they were the leader of the three up and coming families.

"Good, then send out my orders. All men are to assemble and follow me to Yanqi Jewelry Shop!" said Xue Ren-Yang coldly through the phone.

Xue Ming-Xin was a little confused, so he asked, "Uncle Ren-Yang, how...how many men should we bring?"

"Everyone!"

Xue Ren-Yang's weighty words rang and rumbled by Xue Ming-Xin's ears.

There was a light breeze going on outside the window, and the sun was perfect.

In the distance, Yanqi Lake undulated.

And it appeared tranquil outside.

Ye Fan continued standing composedly in the shop.

Dozens of men stared at him so fiercely that it felt terrifying.

An average woman would have gone pale in fear and started crying at the sight of this.

But Xu Lei was fearless and kept smiling calmly as she stood next to Ye Fan.

Xu Lei had the courage to go against the world with this man with her!

"Heh, are you acting calm?"

"Ten minutes have gone by, but where are your men, you brat?"

"I think you are just trying to hold us up."

"Biao, forget about waiting."

"Punks like him just need to get beaten up before they figure out who's the boss."

Everyone was losing patience.

The fat shop owner nodded. He clearly didn't want to waste his time with idiots like Ye Fan anymore. Then he said, "Okay then, please be gentle with him, my friends. Just teach him a small lesson. Oh yes, don't hurt the girl, or else she won't be able to drink with us tonight."

"Haha!"

A burst of lewd laughter instantly broke out in the hall.

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Just when the fat shop owner and his friends were about to beat Ye Fan up, a surge of rumbling rang by their ears suddenly.

Very quickly, the earth started to shake, and the cabinets and their contents began to wobble.

Even the lamps hanging from the ceiling swayed madly.

The fat shop owner was stunned. Then he asked, "Is...is this an earthquake?"

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The sound became grew louder and louder.

The thumping sound had developed into a thunderous rumble, and the dull sound even sounded rhythmic.

The earth trembled even harder, and water spilled from their cups.

Then the rumble came surging toward them like a tsunami!

Everyone in the shop panicked as their faces turned frightfully pale.

What was bloody happening here?

The fat shop owner's son barged through the door and came running in just as they started to panic. He was so anxious that he fell right onto the ground after he entered.

His son shouted hopelessly, "Dad...it's all... all soldiers! Our shop is surrounded by a swarm of soldiers, and it's as though the tides are closing in on us. They are so densely packed that there must be over 10,000 men out there! Dad, what...what the hell did you do?"

BOOOM!
