A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2175

Right after King Folo left, Jared mocked the former with fury. “I didn't expect King Folo to be such a coward. Even though he's the leader of India's martial arts world, he's that timid. I wonder what the future holds for his country. Ugh, let's just forget about him. I doubt he'll be useful even if he does join us. Without him, we'll still be able to conquer Mount Chumen!”

Then, he continued to instigate everyone to attack Mount Chumen.

However, the people in the meeting weren't stupid.

Many of them hesitated after listening to King Folo's speech.

It was then the martial arts leader of Beshya stood up. “I think King Folo has a point. Chu Tianfan didn't become who he is today due to sheer luck. What if this operation fails? What if we're unable to kill Chu Tianfan? Also, what if he isn't severely wounded right now?”

Many of the smaller countries were starting to share the same concerns as Beshya's martial arts leader and worried about the consequences.

Yet, Jared merely waved his hand and said, “Please relax, gentlemen. When the time comes, I, Prince Carlo, Great Emperor Aaron, and the others will attack first. As for the rest, you may observe the situation before making your move. If Chu Tianfan is still unbeatable, you lot can just retreat. In any case, none of you need to worry about him seeking revenge. After all, this operation is approved by more than one hundred countries worldwide. As powerful as Chu Tianfan may be, I doubt he'll actually make the entire world his enemy. Additionally, I believe this operation will succeed! Believe me, Chu Tianfan has lost his ability to fight back!”

His words eased the crowd's worries and removed any lingering doubts from their minds.

“Okay! Let's do it!” Mochizuki Kawa slammed his hand on the table.

The others also made the decision to join the operation because they were certain Aaron and other powerful figures like him would be able to protect them.

Not only that, if the operation were successful, they would still be able to split the spoils of war they would find in Chu Sect.

No matter how they looked at it, they weren't going to suffer any losses.

“In that case, everyone, please return to your respective countries. Tomorrow morning, I and a few others will gather outside Mount Chumen! We'll surround the mountain and launch an attack! Remember to keep this plan a secret!” Following Carlo's declaration, all the martial arts leaders were ready to head home.

Korea's martial arts leader approached Mo Wuya and persuaded, “Is China really not going to join the operation tomorrow, Grandmaster Mo? You'll miss an earth-shattering event and the opportunity of a lifetime! I heard numerous secret martial arts techniques, such as Chu Sect Fatal Moves and Dragon God Body, are hidden in Chu Sect! If you can obtain these secret techniques, it'll greatly benefit the development of your country's martial arts world!”

In response, Mo Wuya shook his head. “Roses are nice, but they're full of thorns. Do you really think Chu Tianfan is that easy to deal with?”

The passing-by martial arts leaders smirked when they heard that.

Glancing at Mo Wuya with disdain, Jared admonished coldly, “Your father, King of Fighters, is a renowned figure. I wonder why the son he raised is such a coward. Chu Tianfan's critically injured right now. He's no different from a fish lying on the chopping board, yet you're still afraid of him? I feel like you're diminishing all the respect Ye Qingtian had garnered for China's martial arts world.”

Mo Wuya grimaced as his fists tightened, but he didn't offer any retort.

After all, he was in the minority, so everything he said would only embarrass him.

Thus, he left instead of facing the crowd's mockery.

“Hahaha!”

“He really is a coward!”

“He fled right away after being scolded by Grandmaster Jared! What a loser!”

“I can't believe the next generation of China's martial arts world is led by such a useless man.”

After the crowd insulted Mo Wuya, they left.

The next day, just as the first ray of sunlight was spotted on China's horizon, countless planes began taking off from across the world.

They were all heading straight for Mount Chumen.

Early on, Carlo and the others were already waiting in front of Mount Chumen. When evening arrived, more than one thousand people from one-hundred-and-eighty-odd countries had gathered there.

“This is the first time since the founding of the International Martial Arts Union that we have a joint operation on such a massive scale! We should be proud of ourselves because we're about to witness a historical moment! Everything we do today will be recorded in history books about the development of the martial arts world! All right, that's all I have to say. Everyone, follow me! We shall storm Mount Chumen and slay Ye Tianfan! It's time for us to protect world peace!” Carlo exclaimed.

The crowd exploded in an uproar.

Suddenly, the entire mountain was filled with people shouting their intentions to deliver justice and slay Chu Tianfan.

All that clamoring crashed into the mountain like a tsunami.

Just like that, Carlo and the others successfully entered Mount Chumen. They didn't encounter any obstacles at all. In fact, they didn't even see a guard.

At first, that didn't bother them because they thought their intimidating fighting force scared the members of Dragon God Hall so much that the latter group hid on the mountaintop.

However, when they reached the peak, they realized the whole place was empty.

“Where's everyone?” Mochizuki Kawa was puzzled. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

A bad feeling rose in Carlo's and Jared's heart.

“Let's go check Chu Sect's Treasure Pavilion first!” Carlo shouted before leading the army to his destination.

To everyone's utter disappointment, they saw that the Treasure Pavilion was almost all cleaned out. Only a few items were left on the shelves.

“W-What's going on? Where's Chu Tianfan?” Jared growled lividly.

It was then a subordinate informed him that someone was in Chu residence.

“Let's head to Chu residence!” exclaimed Carlo before all of them headed to their new destination.

When they arrived, an old man stepped out of the residence. “Why have you all come here?”

“Stop wasting my time! Where's Chu Tianfan? Tell him to come out and die!” Jared yelled.

The old man smiled. “Ah, so you're here for the head of my family. His prediction really is spot on. Truth be told, he knew all of you would be coming, which was why he fled Mount Chumen with everyone a day ago.”

“What? You mean Chu Tianfan ran?” The crowd was astounded.

They thought they could catch their enemies off guard, yet they were one step slower than Ye Fan.

“Where is he? Where did he go?” Carlo questioned with furrowed eyebrows.

Clearly, neither he nor the others were going to let Ye Fan live.

After all, once Ye Fan recovered from his wounds, all of them would be in danger.

At the very least, none of them were confident they could survive Ye Fan's vengeance.

“Do you think he'll tell me where he went? Even if he did, I won't reveal that information to you lot.” The old man smirked.

“Do you want to die, old fart?” Enraged, Jared was eager to strike the old man down.

However, Carlo stopped him and stared at the elderly man. “Chu Tianfan may have escaped, but the Chu family is still here. Aren't you afraid you'll bring ruin to your people if you refuse to cooperate? The Chu family led Chu Sect for many years and committed innumerable crimes. While Chu Sect may be gone now, it's fair to say that the Chu family is still guilty of those wrongdoings.”
