A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1586

Before this, Chu Qitian thought he might need to work harder to earn the Jones' approval.

He never thought that the head of the Jones family would take the initiative to propose the wedding.

Everything went so smoothly that Chu Qitian found it hard to believe.

He was so thrilled with the turn of events that he could not stop smiling even after he had returned to his room.

Angie Jones was known for her beauty in all the families in the Chu Sect.

But she was also boycotted by her peers because of her personality.

Ever since Chu Qitian found out a secret about Angie, he could not stop thinking about her. He believed Angie had something that could help himself rise through the ranks and become a powerful man.

Since the Jones family had expressed their interest to proceed with the wedding, Chu Qitian must seize the opportunity.

Knowing that his dream was about to come true, he could no longer hide his excitement.

The Jones family must have noticed how outstanding I am. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to propose the wedding.

“Outstanding? Stop dreaming!” Just when Chu Qitian felt like he was the king of the world, Chu Zhengliang came to his room and dampened his spirit.

Chu Zhengliang then asked him in a serious voice, “Have you reached the realm of Grandmaster?”

Chu Qitian shook his head.

“How about the second move of the Invoke the Celestial Sky?” Chu Zhengliang's expression turned grim.

Chu Qitian shook his head again.

“Have you done anything to improve the Chu family's financial situation?” Chu Zhengliang continued pressing him to answer another question.

Once again, Chu Qitian shook his head.

“What the hell have you been doing all these while then?” Chu Zhengliang exploded with rage.

Good for nothing! He hasn't improved for the slightest in the last few months!

Chu Qitian could not help but feel aggrieved. “But I've done a lot in the last few months too. Someone influential seems to have cut off all our resources, and I had done my best to go around and borrow money from people to cover our family expenses.”

Chu Zhengliang let out a sigh. “Enough. I don't want to hear excuses from you anymore. Here's my advice for you. If you want to command respect, you must find ways to expand your influence and power.”

He continued, “You See, the Jones family had never mentioned anything about the wedding before you. But the moment I made it to the next realm, not only the Jones were eager to proceed with the wedding, but the elders also wanted to make me the next head of the Chu Sect.”

“That's where the charm lies, my son. That's the charm of power.”

Chu Zhengliang stood up, walked to the window, and put his hands behind his back.

He gazed into the stars and said in a deep voice, “Remember this, Qitian. Power creates fear, and it is eternal. Once power is in your hand, the world will be under your control. Women, influence, and prestige would then all come naturally.”

Never in a million years did he expect his father to be this awesome.

The sixth level of Invoke the Celestial Cloud? What does this even mean ?

Based on Chu Qitian's understanding, all the patriarchs' of the Chu family had at most attained the fifth level of the technique.

The fact that Chu Zhengliang had reached the sixth level of Invoke the Celestial Cloud meant he was nearly as powerful as the founding patriarch of the fa m i ly.

Chu Zhengliang was not surprised to see how shocked his son was.

He smirked and said, “From now on, you and I will need to set a more ambitious goal, so don't worry about that good-for-nothing anymore. Even if he had survived the last ordeal, I'll still be able to take him down easily.”

“Right now, we should focus on obtaining the head position of the Chu Sect. Once I'm in control of the Chu Sect, no one in this world would dare to deny me anymore. And I'll be able to make you the next patriarch of the Chu family,” Chu Zhengliang said steadily as if everything was under his control.

Chu Zhengliang's remark got Chu Qitian all fired up. The latter burst into laughter. “Does that mean you're the most powerful man in the world now? Are you ready to challenge Tang Yun and become the next number one in the Sky Ranking?”

Chu Zhengliang shook his head. “I'm not sure if I can defeat Tang Yun just yet. Nonetheless, I should be able to make it into the top three in the leaderboard.”

“But the Invoke the Celestial Cloud we trained is not the original version. Even the secret technique of the Invoke the Celestial Cloud we have at hand is the

simplified version,” he explained.

He let out a sigh and continued, “If I could get my hands on the Chu family's complete version of the Invoke the Celestial Cloud, I'll not only top the Sky Ranking but will also become the most invincible in the world.”
