A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 816 Battle at Dongchang Lake

In an instant, the entire restaurant fell into a deathly silence.

The silence that enshrouded made them feel as though they were standing in hell.

Only the old man dressed in a robe stood in the darkness and looked at everyone sinisterly. Then his evil voice quietly rang through the air.

"Tell Ye Fan. I'll wait for him at Dongchang Lake in ten days' time. If he doesn't turn up, then Jiangdong will end up like this table!"

CRASH!

The old man hit the table, and it exploded into pieces.

All that remained of it was powder scattering in the wind.

Even though he had hit the table, it was as good as hitting their hearts.

Chen Ao and the others shivered and felt even more fearful!

No one expected all these well-bred leaders to be so petrified by Mochizuki Kawa that they didn't dare to utter a word.

Everyone looked on worriedly.

None of them dared to even breathe loudly, let alone say a word.

They just kept shivering nonstop uncontrollably!

After the table was destroyed, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Xu Lei both emerged before Mochizuki Kawa's eyes.

Their stunning looks under the dim light left Mochizuki Kawa astonished.

He raised his head to look at Qiu Mu-Cheng and Xu Lei and asked expressionlessly, "If I am not mistaken, one of you is Ye Fan's wife, right? Tell me, who is it?" His deep powerful voice sounded as though it was capable of splitting stones.

The temperature in the room lowered yet

again.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was born in a small family in Yunzhou. She only recently became CEO of a multi-billion company with Ye Fan's help.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng had never experienced such a situation before.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so terrified by Mochizuki Kawa's sinister voice that her face went deathly pale.

She didn't even dare to say a word.

"I will ask you this again. Which one of you is his wife?"

His thunderous voice exploded throughout the room.

This time, Mochizuki Kawa clearly sounded angrier.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't admit that she was Ye Fan's wife, Mochizuki Kawa would undoubtedly start slaughtering them.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to admit who she was, but she hung her head and trembled nonstop uncontrollably out of fear.

Then Xu Lei suddenly stepped forward.

"It's me. I'm Fan's wife!"

Xu Lei's words left everyone stunned.

Everyone turned to look in astonishment.

"Miss Xu...you..."

Qiu Mu-Cheng was dumbstruck. She didn't expect that Xu Lei would admit to being Ye Fan's wife.

However, Xu Lei ignored their astonishment and straightened her back with a dignified aura radiating from her cold and gorgeous face.

She looked straight ahead fearlessly.

"Mochizuki Kawa, you wreaked havoc in Jiangdong and went around slaughtering our people. Aren't you worried about incurring Fan's wrath?" asked Xu Lei coldly. Mochizuki Kawa instantly laughed when he heard what Xu Lei said.

"It appears that you believe in his abilities a lot. In that case, come with me. If he doesn't come in 10 days, then I will sacrifice you to Ying-Long and Ying-Tian!" Mochizuki Kawa waved his hand after laughing coldly. An energy shot out from his hand and wrapped itself around Xu Lei and she ended up in Mochizuki Kawa's hands. Everyone was shocked by this sight.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was startled. She suppressed her terror and gritted her teeth as she said, "No, she isn't his wife. I am.

Don't drag her into this."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's words left Mochizuki Kawa confused.

Mochizuki Kawa turned to look at Xu Lei before turning his eyes to Qiu Mu-Cheng with her face pale and eyes red. Then he instantly laughed.

"Interesting. Both of you are scrambling to send yourself to your deaths. Young lady, you are a bad liar. Since Ye Fan is the selfproclaimed Mr Chu of Jiangdong, how can his wife be as ordinary as you? Regardless of grace and temperament, you can't compare to her. She is clearly the real deal, and you are just an impostor," said Mochizuki Kawa calmly as he looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Then he took Xu Lei and jumped into the darkness behind him without lingering.

Mochizuki Kawa came suddenly, and left just as suddenly.

Very quickly, peace was restored in the restaurant.

But no one said anything for a long time after Mochizuki Kawa left.

Only the raging cold wind gusting in from the dark hole was audible.

It was piercingly cold, and many people shivered uncontrollably.

Li Er finally climbed out from under his chair after suffering a huge shock previously.

He looked around and said with a bitter smile, "Am...am I...still alive?"

They had yet to recover from their fright.

Qiu Mu-Cheng stared outside the window into the darkness in a daze. Tears kept welling up in her eyes from the guilt, gratitude, and great concern in her heart.

Xu Lei had been taken away!

And she had been taken away because she wanted to protect Qiu Mu-Cheng.

The night passed quickly.

However, the after-effects of the events that transpired last night were far from over.

Someone probably purposely spread the news secretly, since news of Mochizuki Kawa inviting Mr Chu to a fight ten days from now had swept through Jiangdong's martial arts circles like an unstoppable typhoon.

At the same time, news that Mr Chu's wife was taken by Mochizuki Kawa got out as well.

Both pieces of news spread like an unstoppable wildfire.

Li Er, Chen Ao, and the others didn't interfere.

They were even eager to see the news get out.

After all, Ye Fan would more likely catch wind of it if it spread more widely.

No one knew of Ye Fan's whereabouts, and he was completely uncontactable, so they could only resort to this.

They hoped that he would come back soon!

Everyone thought that this was nothing but local news.

But they underestimated the reputation of Japan's Sword God!

In a matter of days, news about Mochizuki Kawa challenging Mr Chu to a duel at Dongchang Lake had spread throughout the nation.

It caused a major sensation throughout the martial arts circles in Jiangbei, Jiangnan and even the Xinan.

"Oh my! Have you heard? The Sword God of Japan, Mochizuki Kawa, has come to China again! Also, he challenged Mr Chu to a duel in ten days at Dongchang Lake!"

"What? Mochizuki Kawa is back?"

"30 years ago, the God of War managed to inflict critical damage on Mochizuki Kawa! Back in the day, he swore never to set foot in our country again, so the God of War let him go. After 30 years, he broke his promise and turned up here again! Does he want to fight with our martial artists?"

"But who is Mr Chu of Jiangdong? We have never heard of him. Is there such a person in the Chinese martial arts circles?
