A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 79 Horror Descending!

Since the Jiangdong leaders did not believe in him, Ye Fan could not be bothered to respond to their

unfriendliness with goodwill.

He was not keen on getting involved in this matter anyway. He had volunteered his service only

because of his relationship with Chen Ao and Li Er.

After all, Ye Fan had spent years to get them where they were. So he did not want to lose them if he

could help it.

"But since you do not appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for turning a blind eye to your plight."

"Let's see how you are going to handle Wu He-Rong when you meet him."

Ye Fan snorted and started making his way toward Han Hai's home. Qiu Mu-Cheng was waiting for him

there.

It was already so late. If he delayed his return any longer, his wife would make him kneel on the

washing board.

Mm?

Washing board?

Suddenly, he went into a daze for a moment, as if he had just remembered something. And then, he

slapped his thigh.

Shit-

He had left the washing board at the restaurant!

"We are ignorant? We can't recognize his ability?"

"He's just a kid. How dared he boast so shamelessly?"

"What a joke!”

After Ye Fan's departure, the room erupted into jeers.

"Mr. Chen, which family is that brat from?"

"He's an idiot!" "You did not have to be polite to a person like him."

The bald Lei San laughed mockingly with a disdainful expression, as he directed the question to Chen

Ao.

Now that Ye Fan had already left, they felt no qualms about voicing their criticisms.

But both Chen Ao and Li Er had terrible expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and

chuckled awkwardly.

They could only hope that Ye Fan was not really angry.

"Mr. Huo, that young man has already left. There is no one here who will annoy you."

"Please come back and take a seat."

"The survival of Jiangdong is entirely in your hands."

After they had driven away Ye Fan, the Jiangdong leaders turned to look at Huo Dun and respectfully

invited him to return to his seat.

"Mr. Huo, what happened earlier was just a misunderstanding.”

"He's just a kid. Don't take his words to heart."

"Now, let us sit down and discuss the plan to deal with Wu He-Rong."

"We need to choose a foolproof plan!"

One after another, the leaders of Jiangdong tried to appease Huo Dun.

Chen Nan even personally poured him a cup of tea.

Huo Dun laughed haughtily as he sipped his tea. "A plan?"

"Why do we need a plan?"

"I have told you. I will mop the floor with him within three moves."

"As long as you can find out his address, I can go there at any time to kill him!"

Awe-inspiring!

Bold!

"This is how a strongman should act!"

"Well, if you have the skills, you have nothing to fear~"

Huo Dun's words were confident, and they aroused admiration among his listeners. Most of the doubt

they had were also cleared away. Li Er and Chen Ao could almost see the image of Wu He-Rong lying

defeated before Huo Dun.

At this moment, Chen Nan was filled with reverence for Huo Dun.

"Dad, look at Mr. Huo. Look at how heroic he is. This is how a strongman should behave."

"He is so different from that rich brat. That person is so useless, but he kept on bragging in front of us."

"He even said Wu He-Rong could kill Mr. Huo like a chicken. In my opinion, I think Mr. Huo can kill that

brat like a chicken."

"Hahaha~"

Chen Nan's joke caused the room to erupt in laughter.

Huo Dun seemed to enjoy Chen Nan's compliments. He kept his face expressionless, put on a lofty air

and spoke haughtily to Chen Ao: "Mr. Chen, you have raised a good daughter."

"At least, your daughter knows the difference between an ace and a waste!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Huo." Chen Nan was overjoyed to receive a compliment from the

Boxing King, and she smiled appreciatively.

Chen Ao smiled perfunctorily but, for some unknown reason, he felt uneasy.

Was Huo Dun really as powerful as he himself claimed?

And had Ye Fan really been spouting nonsense? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

But Chen Ao did not dwell on this matter for too long.

"Since Mr. Huo is confident that he can defeat Wu He-Rong, then the rest is simple."

"Right now, we are out in the open while Wu He-Rong is in hiding. But it is not difficult to lure him out."

"According to what I know, Wu He-Rong is a vain person who is conscious of his reputation."

"So we can leak the news that Mr. Huo is challenging Wu He-Rong to a duel."

"The two strongmen will duel to decide who is the better fighter. The winner will receive honor and the

loser forfeits his life."

"At that time, I believe Wu He-Rong will accept our invitation to the duel.”

"After all, the whole of Jiangdong will be watching. If he doesn't show up, he will become a coward. And

once he has lost face, he will not be able to establish a foothold in Jiangdong!"

Chen Ao's words were full of vigor and, although his voice was low, they reverberated through the

room.

It was obvious that Chen Ao had already thought up the plan even before the meeting.

"Bravo!”

"We will follow Mr. Chen's plan."

"We will put the whole of Jiangdong on the table and have a wager with Wu He-Rong!”

"We will have an earth-shaking underground match in Jianghai."

At this moment, the assembled leaders of Jiangdong clenched their hands tight and the will to fight

blazed in their eyes.

All of them knew what was at stake.

It was not just a duel between Wu He-Rong and Huo Dun. It was also a contest between the leaders of

Jiangdong and Wu He-Rong. If they won, then Wu He-Rong would die. And Jiangdong would remain in

their hands.

But if they lost, then Jiangdong would have a change of leadership.

And there would be a new King of Jiangdong!

"Mr. Huo, the survival of Jiangdong lies entirely in your hands."

"Boxing King, please help us!" Chen Ao's eyes were filled with hope as he raised his tea cup and

toasted Huo Dun.

And suddenly, the attendees started to stir like a pond that had a rock dropped in it.

Following Chen Ao's example, Li Er and the other leaders of Jiangdong also raised their cups to toast

Huo Dun. And their hopeful voices rang out together at the same time.

"Mr. Huo, please help us~"

Swish Swish Swish~

Everybody got up from their seats and raised their cups toward the Tiger of South East Asia.

But Huo Dun remained seated.

His eyes were filled with arrogance and he was in high spirits. Finally, Huo Dun raised his tea cup as

well and answered their toasts boldly.

"You have nothing to worry about!"

"I, Huo Dun, have been through countless battles. And I am unbeatable in South East Asia."

"I am not afraid of a stray like Wu He-Rong! I will send him running with his tail tucked between his

legs!"

"All you have to do is to deliver the letter of challenge to Wu He-Rong. I will take care of the rest."

Huo Dun shouted haughtily.

All at once, the atmosphere in the room reached its peak and everyone started making merry.

Boom-

But suddenly, the restaurant shook.

Immediately afterward, there was a muffled bang and the door to the room was kicked open.

As the door and windows exploded, a grey-robed figure suddenly appeared right in front of everybody's

eyes.

Whoosh-

The cold wind howled like a devil from hell and blew into the room through the broken windows and

door.

He was wearing the same grey shirt and the same grey robe. He had the same cold and ferocious

aura.

The moment this middle-aged man appeared in their midst, everyone in the room was stunned.

The assembled guests started to panic and they looked like strangled chickens as they did so.

All of them were transfixed by the sight of the new arrival.

Chen Ao's eyes contracted in fear and Li Er fell over from his seat. Master Lei San's face started

trembling as if he had just seen a ghost.

Wu... Wu... Wu He-Rongl!

Whoosh-

Outside the restaurant, the wind blew coldly and the darkness deepened.

The heavy darkness flowed like water and engulfed the land.

Jianghai would be rocked by turbulence tonight.

Meanwhile, the figure continued to stand by the doorway.

He did not speak.

And his grey robe fluttered about in the wind.

As if he were a ghost!
