A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 69 The Dragon's Sigh Resonates Through the Chu...

"Mu-Cheng, don't just stand there! Quick, we must go~”

While Qiu Mu-Cheng was looking at Ye Fan, her cousin and their dinner companions had already

regained their wits. Panic filled their faces as they dragged Qiu Mu-Cheng out of the restaurant.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng had no choice but to leave with them.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan continued to stand calmly in the restaurant lobby.

Both his hands were thrust into his pockets, as a faint smile played on his lips. He showed no sign of

panic.

"As the saying goes, 'New-born calves are not afraid of tigers~"

"I think he has no idea who he has just offended?"

"He even dares to smile?”

He is either stupid or a moron!

When the restaurant customers saw Ye Fan's reckless behavior, they could only shake their heads and

sigh. The look they gave him was one people usually reserved for idiots.

In their opinion, it was prideful and stupid of Ye Fan to think that he could go up against Sheng Tian all

by himself.

Even though he was a little strong, he was still just one person.

On the other hand, Sheng Tian had a powerful organization behind him.

"Young man, are you tired of living?"

"You should leave while you still can."

"This is Sheng Tian we are talking about. The boss of Shengtian Entertainment Group and the central

district."

"And he has Chen Tian-Jiao backing him. You are just a live-in son-in-law. There's no way you can beat

him."

Among the crowd of onlookers, there were a few warm-hearted individuals who were worried for Ye

Fan.

Han Fei-Fei had just said that Ye Fan was just a live-in son-in-law from the countryside. Wasn't it

suicidal for a person like him to go up against Sheng Tian?

But Ye Fan laughed lightly and said, "Old man, don't worry. There is nothing a mere Sheng Tian can do

against me."

"Shit!"

"You bastard! You are still bragging!"

"Go get him!"

"Kill the bastard-"

Sheng Tian was completely enraged. He had already gotten up from the floor, and was screaming

angrily at Ye Fan.

Very soon, under Sheng Tian's direction, a dozen or so underlings armed themselves with expandable

batons and charged toward Ye Fan.

"Young man, look out!" yelled the old man who was concerned about Ye Fan.

The onlookers were frightened by the scene unfolding in front of them, and many of them backed away

in a panic.

But Ye Fan only shook his head and laughed disdainfully.

In the next moment, Ye Fan jumped and executed a beautiful spinning kick in the air. The movement

was both ruthless and graceful, like a roc spreading its wings.

Bang Bang Bang Bang~

In the blink of an eye, the gangsters around Ye Fan were all knocked down to the floor, where they laid

sprawled and groaning.

"Damn-"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"What... What is..."

He is that powerful?"

The lobby went quiet, and all the onlookers stood looking with their mouths agape. Finally, after a long

moment, a collective sharp intake of breath broke the silence.

Who would have thought that the mass of attackers would be defeated in an instant by the frail-looking

young man. The scene just now had looked like something out of a movie. None of the people present

had expected to see a silver screen moment in real life.

"Damn-"

"Is he still human?"

"He's Superman!"

"Whoa! This guy is too strong."

Many in the crowd cried out involuntarily, and nearly wet themselves.

The old man, who had tried to persuade Ye Fan to leave, was also cowed by the latter's martial

prowess. Right now, he was staring at the young man with wide opened eyes, while rooted to the spot.

Meanwhile, Sheng Tian, who had just witnessed the defeat of his underlings, was looking angry and

sombre.

But he was a person who had been through a lot of difficult situations, so he managed to quickly calm

himself down. He looked at Ye Fan again and laughed coldly, "No wonder you are so cocky."

"You are a martial artist. I have underestimated you."

Sheng Tian laughed sinisterly, pulled a chair over and sat down.

He lit a cigarette, shook his head and smiled. "But young man, this is the twenty-first century. We live in

a society dominated by technology. We have even sent rockets into space."

"Your fists and feet are hard. But are they harder than a bullet?”

"You are fast. But are you faster than a gun?"

As Sheng Tian was laughing, three figures appeared quietly on the floor above. And soon, all three of

them were standing before their boss.

Immediately afterward, the sound of bullets chambering rang out in the lobby. And Ye Fan found

himself staring at three gun barrels that had appeared all of a sudden.

"Arrgh~Arrgh~" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"They have guns~"

"We are going to die~"

The moment Sheng Tian's underlings brought out their guns, the whole restaurant erupted into chaos.

Those people who had been watching the show started screaming. Their faces were pale from fear and

panic, as they looked around for places to hide.

And Ye Fan's smile vanished from his face.

He had not thought that Sheng Tian would have the guts to use guns.

For the first time since the beginning of this ordeal, killing intent appeared in Ye Fan's eyes.

All these years, what he had hated most were people who threatened his life.

And now, his life was being threatened.

"Young man, why are you so quiet now?"

"Go on! Keep on being cocky!"

"Weren't you acting like a superhero just now?"

"Why are you acting like a scaredy-cat now?"

"Speak up!"

Sheng Tian laughed unrestrainedly, and then a sinister smile appeared on his burly-looking face.

Just then, Sheng Tian was holding a lit cigarette in one hand and groping a scantily-clad woman with

the other. As he toyed with the sexy lady, he waited expectantly for despair and fear to appear on Ye

Fan's face.

Sheng Tian truly enjoyed watching the struggle and fear on the faces of his defeated opponents. In the

past, he had trampled his opponents beneath his feet and looked down on them with the air of a victor,

while enjoying the company of beautiful women.

But this time, Sheng Tian was left disappointed.

He could not feel a single shred of panic or fear from Ye Fan. On the contrary, the latter was more

composed than usual.

As if he was the still water in a lake that remained undisturbed, no matter what Sheng Tian threw at

him.

"So you still do not understand the situation you are in~"

"Since you are like this, I will~"

Just as Sheng Tian was about to order his underlings to shoot Ye Fan, the entrance to the lobby was

suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

The cold wind blew in from outside, and then a procession of well-suited men walked in after pushing

the door aside.

"Are you blind?"

"Can't you see Mr. Sheng is dealing with business here?"

The sudden intrusion of so many men had startled the people in the lobby.

And the sexy lady with Sheng Tian had stood up immediately to scold the intruders.

"Shut up!"

"You stupid bitch! How dare you insult them!"

Sheng Tian was startled when he saw the new arrivals. He immediately sprang up from his wooden

armchair and slapped his female companion to the floor.

And then he staggered over to greet the new arrivals, in the most respectful and servile manner.

"Master Ao, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would have prepared a reception for you-”

What?

Master Ao?

When they heard this, many in the crowd were surprised and they stared with wide-opened eyes.

"Could it be... The King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao?"

"The backer of Sheng Tian's backer!"

In Jianghai, everybody knew that Sheng Tian's success was due to Chen Tian-Jiao's help.

And Chen Tian-Jiao's backer was Chen Ao! The ruler of Jianghai and the number one kingpin of

Jiangdong!

"I will be damned!

"Chen Ao is here?"

"It's over. That guy is a dead man walking.”

"Even the gods cannot save him now-"

Like a rock dropping into the ocean, Chen Ao's arrival had created huge waves among the crowd, and

an uproar erupted in the restaurant.

As the saying goes, "A person's reputation precedes him."

Chen Ao of Jiangdong. His reputation was such that everybody in Jianghai had heard of him. So how

could they not be surprised by his arrival!

"What is going on?"

"What happened here? Did someone cause trouble?"

When he saw Sheng Tian, a middle-aged man in a black suit nodded in greeting.

And then he frowned when he saw the mess in the restaurant.

Sheng Tian hurriedly replied, "Master Ao, we did encounter a little trouble."

"Somebody came over to cause trouble.

He is a martial artist, and has injured many of my men. But I have the situation under control now."

Sheng Tian was panicking. He was afraid that Chen Ao would blame him for the

mess.

But Chen Ao ignored him, and looked forward at where the expressionless Ye Fan was standing.

"Did you make the mess?"

The King of Jiangdong spoke softly, and looked coldly at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan laughed and replied with a question. "What do you think?"

Ye Fan's frivolous tone caused Chen Ao's frown to deepen. And the latter's tone turned colder. "Very

good."

Chen Ao's expression turned heavy, and he spoke coldly to Ye Fan.

"Young man, do you know who they work for?"

"And do you know whose restaurant this is?"

But Ye Fan kept his composure, shook his head and smiled lightly. "So what if I knew? Even you are

just a nobody in my eyes, so why would I give a damn about these underlings?"

"How dare you!"

"What insolence-"

"You bastard! How dare you insult Master Ao!"

After Ye Fan had just spoken, Sheng Tian and company immediately erupted in rage and started

scolding the young man.

The surrounding onlookers also criticized Ye Fan inwardly. They thought he was too reckless and an

idiot.

How dare he insult the King of Jiangdong?

He does not have the fear of death in him!

Chen Ao had also gotten angry. His eyes glinted coldly and he turned to look at Ye Fan. When he

spoke, he enunciated each word slowly. "Do you know who you are talking to?"

"I think you. Are. Courting. Death!"

When Ye Fan heard this, he laughed. His laughter was cold, sinister and filled with his enormous rage.

"I should be the one asking you this.”

"Chen Ao, do you have any idea what kind of existence is standing right before you?"

Ye Fan stepped forward and continued to shout in the same breath. The words that were filled with

anger thundered in the air, and exploded in everybody's ears.

"A spark sets the prairie aflame and shakes the world! The dragon's sigh resonates through the Chu

heaven! I, Tian-Fan!"

"Chen Ao, have you heard this before?"

In the lobby, Ye Fan stood standing with his hands clasped behind his back. When he spoke, his tone

was proud and cold. At the same time, Ye Fan swung his arm, and a piece of jade landed in front of

Chen Ao.

The clear piece of jade had only one character engraved on it. A blood-red "Chu"!

Boom~

At that moment, Chen Ao felt like he had just been struck by lightning. He stood there, rooted to the

spot in a daze. And his pupils contracted as he stared at the young man standing before him. "You...

You are... Chu... Chu...?"
