A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 884 If You Will Die, Why Go?

"Now, I'm going to execute you and purge our ranks. Rock Dragon, do you accept your punishment?" Ye Fan's angry words spewed continuously. Arrogance brimmed from his cold face.

His menacing voices echoed throughout the atmosphere.

Ye Fan's resounding words sounded like gold clanging on the ground. His furious words kept reverberating through the air.

After Ye Fan questioned Iwai Zen, Iwai Zen's face went stiff, and he looked scared.

He kept shivering nonstop.

Every word Ye Fan said cut Iwai Zen's heart deeply like a sword.

Perhaps he felt ashamed or guilty.

Iwai Zen remained speechless and pale in the face of Ye Fan's angry and sinister words.

He hung her head as he knelt and didn't say a word for a long time.

Ye Fan became even angrier.

So he walked up to Iwai Zen and kicked him in the face.

With a dull thud, his face bled.

Iwai Zen slid for half a meter after Ye Fan kicked him. Bright red blood instantly gushed down his face.

"Mr Iwai!"

Everyone was undoubtedly shocked.

Before this, no one could have imagined that the mighty president of Mikawa Group would end up getting beaten to a pulp by this Chinese youth.

Even more inconceivable was Iwai Zen's silence despite Ye Fan's beating.

"What? You don't dare to admit to your mistake? Don't you even have the courage to admit it? All I can say is that I must have been blind to let a coward like you control half of Japan's finances. I will ask you again. I am going to purge our ranks and execute you now. Do you admit to your crimes?" asked Ye Fan.

His face was cold and expressionless.

Each time he asked, it felt as though a sword was cutting through the air.

Wind gusted as Ye Fan shouted.

Everyone watched on in terror. These typically arrogant elites shockingly fell silent when they saw how domineering Ye Fan was.

The only thing they felt was fear and panic.

However, Ye Fan's fury was unfathomable to them.

It wasn't entirely a crime for him to betray or disobey him.

After all, no one wanted to live under the shadow of another man.

Ye Fan was impressed by Iwai Zen's boldness and ambition to want to go independent.

But Ye Fan couldn't stand the sight of Iwai Zen being too cowardly to admit it.

Ye Fan couldn't bear the thought that he was the one who was blind enough to pick someone so spineless and gave him such huge responsibility.

"Say something!"

Ye Fan kicked in again in fury.

This time, Iwai Zen gritted his teeth and finally stood up after rolling on the ground a few times.

He smiled angrily at Ye Fan with blood flowing from his mouth.

"Fine! Do you want to know the truth, Dragon Master? I will tell you! You are right. I have you to thank for everything I own. From the moment I decided to defy your order, I knew this day would come. I, Rock Dragon, admit to my crimes. I will accept the execution if you want to purge our ranks. I fully accept it! I know I can't outdo you. If you sent someone else, I might still stand a chance to win. Since you came to Japan personally to catch the traitor, I know I am destined to die."

"But don't you want to know why I betrayed you? Don't you want to know why I ignored your order?"

Iwai Zen's eyes were filled with anger. He sounded like he was laughing and it made him seem somewhat tragic and sorrowful.

Iwai Zen lost all his arrogance and dignity when he spoke to Ye Fan. He was simply a sad and pathetic man.

It felt as though he was explaining why he committed a crime before he was executed.

Ye Fan's face instantly darkened when he heard him.

He looked at Iwai Zen expressionlessly in a cold manner.

"Didn't you do it because you wanted to be your own man?"

Since time immemorial, there were only two reasons why a man could become a traitor.

It was usually either because of women or for power.

In Ye Fan's opinion, it was unlikely that Iwai Zen did it for a woman.

Since Ye Fan never had any conflict with Iwai Zen, it had to be power.

"Dragon Master, you are right but only half right. I disobeyed because of power. However, I don't have a problem working for you. Considering how wise you are, I am happy to work under you. In this world, mediocre people should serve the capable. Instead, I betrayed you because I didn't want to send myself to my death. If I died, I would lose everything I worked so hard on all these years."

Iwai Zen shook his head as he smiled and spoke sadly.

Ye Fan frowned. "Sending yourself to your death? Did you think I sent the order so that I could send all of you to die while attacking the Chu family?"

"Isn't it true?" asked Iwai Zen rhetorically.

"Dragon Master, I told Han a long time ago that even if we have a powerful global network, we can't compare to the Chu family. Ten years ago, you had no chance against them. The same holds true today! So this is a suicidal mission. I am aware that the moment we go, you and I will all die at their doors. The Chu family is the world's most powerful elite family and also a number one martial arts clan. How can you fight a family with so much history single-handedly? How can you pit yourself against all the martial artists in the clan? That is absolutely suicidal!"

Iwai Zen's honest words fell like thunder and kept echoing through the air.

His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were bleeding.

Back in the day, when Iwai Zen learnt of Ye Fan's plans to overturn the Chu family, he did his best to investigate them in an effort to repay his debt to Ye Fan.

However, the more he knew about the Chu family, the more he found them terrifying. In the end, he felt hopeless!

The Chu family was an insurmountable mountain.

No one in the world could defeat a giant like them.

Including Ye Fan!

So he contacted Han several times, asking him to forsake the plan.

His suggestions naturally got thrown out of the window.

Iwai Zen didn't know that Ye Fan's feud with the Chu family was irreconcilable.

So Iwai Zen was determined to disobey Ye Fan when he received news that they were going to execute their final plan.

"Dragon Master, I'm not afraid of danger or hardship. If there were any chance for success, I would definitely report for duty. However, I'm not an idiot, so why should I go if we are destined to die?"
