A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1588

“That's enough. I just wanted to tell you that martial arts have no limit. You should always be in awe of it,” Chu Zhengliang said.

Then, he sighed and said, “I'm tired, so you should go downstairs. Since the Jones family has started preparing for your wedding with Angie, you should focus on preparing it too. Don't forget what I've told you before. You must get Angie on your side. It will be a great help to your business in the future.”

After giving a few more instructions, Chu Zhengliang waved his hand dismissively, indicating to Chu Qitian to leave.

However, Chu Qitian hesitated before asking softly, “Dad, do you know where the Book of Celestial Cloud is?”

“Why do you ask? Do you want to learn something from it?” Chu Zhengliang raised his eyebrows quizzically.

Chu Qitian chuckled and said, “Haha, nothing escapes you, Dad. I have been wondering. Since the simplified version of Invoke the Celestial Cloud technique is so powerful, the complete version must have been incredible. If I could learn the complete version from the Book of Celestial Cloud, I believe I can improve my abilities tremendously. Perhaps, I could be at the top of the Supreme level in a few years.”

Chu Qitian sat in a chair, daydreaming about being at the top of the Supreme level while looking at his father with anticipation.

For a moment, Chu Zhengliang was happy to hear of his plan. “You stinking brat. You're ambitious, aren't you?”

Then, he shook his head and laughed. “Unfortunately, I have to burst your bubbles. You haven't even mastered the simplified version of Invoke the Celestial Cloud. How do you expect to learn from the Book of Celestial Cloud? Don't embarrass me.”

After pausing for a moment, he continued calmly, “Furthermore, I have no idea where is the Book of Celestial Cloud. It might be within the Chu family's secret realm. However, your grandpa searched there for many years but could not find it. If you want it, we can talk about it again after you succeed me as the head of the Chu family.”

Then, he waved to dismiss Chu Qitian from his presence.

After his son left, Chu Zhengliang's calm expression suddenly turned solemn and determined. “Ling, don't worry. I will help our son to overcome all obstacles. Once he succeeds me as the head of the Chu family, his future will be smooth and unobstructed!”

Chu Zhengliang clenched his fists and firmed his resolved.

Chu Qitian had caused endless troubles all these years.

However, Chu Zhengliang did his best to protect him every time.

The whole Chu family knew that Chu Zhengliang loved his son more than anything.

However, no one knew that Chu Zhengliang's love for his son was partly out of longing for his dead wife.

Chu Zhengliang doted on his wife during her lifetime. His greatest wish was to see their son achieve success.

Later, Chu Qitian did not disappoint and showed exceptional talent in martial arts.

Still, his biggest weakness was his lack of resolve and experience. He also lacked seriousness and prudence.

Therefore, Chu Zhengliang had been concerned about this.

At the moment, he was able to protect Chu Qitian. Thus, Chu Qitian could live well in the Chu family.

However, if he died, Chu Zhengliang worried about how Chu Qitian could survive in this treacherous world without his protection.

Qitian, I can't protect you forever. However, I will make sure to remove all obstacles before I die. No matter what storm there is, I will block it for you. I will make sure that you have a peaceful and prosperous life.

Chu Zhengliang stood up with his hands behind him.

His eyes were full of confidnce.

He was an ambitious man too.

“Michael, you have no right to object. If you are powerful enough, we wouldn't have to make Angie marry someone from the Chu family. If you were good enough, the Jones family would not lack a strong successor and remain in decline!” Bill replied furiously.

He glared at Michael and continued, “I'm doingthis for you and the family's future. By marrying your sister into the Chu family, you will have a strong support and ally once you take over as the head of the family. Otherwise, the Jones family will be kicked out of the Chu Sect after my demise!”

Bill was boiling with fury. His stern and furious tone shook the whole room.

Michael looked down immediately.

His eyes grew red, and tears welled up in them.

Then, his tears fell like a broken string of pearls, falling onto the floor.

Who would have thought that the same Michael who dared to oppose Ye Fan in the rainforest was now weeping?

“Dad, I understand all that you've said. But I'm sad for Angie. She is still young, and she doesn't know anything. Furthermore, she doesn't understand the ways of the world and the deceptiveness of people. She is innocent and pure as snow. Whenever we scolded her, she would be sad about it for days. She was hardly away from this family all her life. Dad, she is still a child...” Michael implored as he wept.

Then, he sniffled before continuing, “Why does she have to bear such a heavy burden for the family? Dad, let's find another way. There must be another way so that we don't have to give Angie away. She is too young. I don't want her to become a sacrifice for this family. It is our fault for not being powerful enough. Why does she have to shoulder this...”

Michael continued weeping as he begged his father.

Bill could not bear to see Michael like this.

Therefore, he walked to Michael and hugged him.

He gave a long sigh before saying, “Michael, do you think I am unaware of these? However, a marriage alliance with the Chu family is our best option. This marriage alliance is the result of years of negotiation with the Chu family. There is nothing we can do to change it.”
