A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1975

By then, King Folo and the rest had returned to Folo Palace.

However, they didn't stay there for long.

As a precaution, they went hiding in Folo Mountain.

“D*mn it! How is Chu Tianfan still alive?” King Folo cussed, looking like a mess.

His rage was evident in his clenched fists and bloodshot eyes.

I'm the martial arts leader of a country, yet now I'm hiding in Folo Mountain like a dog with a tail between my legs.

The thought and shame fueled the anger burning in him.

“King Folo, let's not anger Chu Tianfan anymore and make peace with him. Just agree to all of his conditions,” Haibu said decadently, looking crestfallen.

His arrogance when confronting Ye Fan before was gone entirely.

I'm tired. I don't want to fight anymore. Chu Tianfan is a monster. A monster that won't die no matter how many times I fight him. If I lose, I'm dead. But even if I win, I'm still going to have a hard time.

Because I have to keep my guard up the whole time, worrying about Chu Tianfan coming after me for revenge like this time. How the f**k am I supposed to continue fighting like this?

Even if we manage to defeat Chu Tianfan this time with Indra's help, what'll happen after that? We will still have to live in terror every day.

All in all, Haibu was scared of Chu Tianfan.

Why did you f**king mess with a b*stard like this, Fen Tian?

Haibu was filled with resentment toward Fen Tian.

He wasn't alone in wanting to surrender because Bapei had the same intention.

However, Fen Tian objected, “We can't! This Chu Tianfan is a cold-blooded killer! We might still have a chance if we fight to our bitter ends. If we surrender, we'll be at his mercy, and death is a guaranteed ending for us.”

One of the conditions Ye Fan requested for making peace was for them to hand Fen Tian over to him, hence Fen Tian's strong opposition to talking peace.

If Folo Palace agrees to make peace with Chu Tianfan, I'm as good as dead.

Blood spewed from his mouth, maybe from agitation or accidentally pulling on his injury.

“How could you still have the f king audacity to say that? This is all your fault!”

Haibu was beyond furious, and he wanted to beat up Fen Tian himself.

“Enough. Let's not fight at such a crucial time. Fen Tian, I remember ordering you to treat Chu Tianfan's woman with respect. Did you follow my order? Now, it's time to prove her value. Tell me where she is and bring her over here quickly. With a hostage in our hands, I bet Chu Tianfan won't do anything reckless,” King Folo said coldly.

He couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

In the end, it's all thanks to my foresight. My advice to

Fen Tian earlier allowed us to prepare for a situation like this.

Otherwise, everything would've been irreversible if Fen Tian had killed Chu Tianfan's woman. Now, we still have a bargaining chip to negotiate with him.

Haibu and Bapei turned their heads to Fen Tian swiftly, awaiting his answer.

Deep down, they were curious about Ye Fan's woman. How beautiful can she be that a man like Chu Tianfan will put everything on the line to save her?

However, the corner of Fen Tian's lips twitched at King Folo's words. Staying silent, he lowered his head.

“Hm? Say something! Where is she?” King Folo shouted, feeling uneasy at his silence.

Fen Tian still refused to speak.

“Say something, you ₘₒ********er! Are you trying to make us panic?” Haibu cussed, feeling panic clenching his heart.

Finally, Fen Tian spoke, “I don't know. She wasn't there when I went into my room. Instead, Chu Tianfan was there.”

With that, Fen Tian told them everything.

I have no choice but to tell them the truth now. After all, I can't hide it any longer.

Fen Tian's confession infuriated King Folo and the rest.

“Y-You're saying the woman you were going to marry today w-was Chu Tianfan's woman?”

F**k you! Fen Tian, you b*stard! Can you not drag the whole country with you if you have a death wish?

King Folo and the rest wanted to cry at that moment.

I thought I had the foresight and successfully took precautions. Who could've known that a dumb subordinate would destroy all my plans?

“How dare you try to marry Chu Tianfan's woman? You even f**king tried to sleep with her? D*mn it! What were you thinking? You idiot!”

King Folo had never felt such rage in his entire life before.

His chilling voice echoed like a judge pronouncing a judgment.

Without saying anything, Ye Fan reached for his sword and charged toward King Folo and the rest.

“Sh*t! Take cover!”

King Folo and the rest were stunned at the sudden attack, but they retreated and dodged in time.

There was one person who couldn't—Fen Tian who was badly injured. His roughed-up body couldn't

escape Ye Fan's swift assault even if he wanted to.

Swish!

A long sword slashed through the air, evoking a symphony of screams. In an instant, Fen Tian's other arm was severed from his shoulder.

Red fiery flames burned his severed arm into ashes in seconds.

The one who held the Scarlet Flame could slaughter even the most ferocious opponents.

“Ah! My arm!” Fen Tian yelled from the shock and the pain as blood continued to gush out of the wound.

His horrified screams echoed throughout the entire Folo Mountain.

“Chu Tianfan, do you want to start a war? If you keep pushing us, don't blame me when India's martial art world declares war against China! By then, even if we can't conquer China, we'll obliterate every Chinese citizen, including your friends, family, and your men!” King Folo threatened with blood-red eyes.

Ye Fan was expressionless at his threat but sheathed his sword.

King Folo thought his threat was working. Just as he was about to heave out a sigh, Ye Fan's words plunged him into the depths of despair.

“If that's the case, I'll just kill every one of you here to protect my citizens.”

Boom!

Instantly, nine lightning bolts struck the heavens and the land, illuminating their surroundings.

As Ye Fan strengthened himself with the electricity from the lightning bolts, endless power filled his lean body.

Sensing the power had accumulated to the maximum, he unleashed Raijin Thunderdrake.

With the Thunderdrake, Ye Fan charged toward King Folo, Haibu, and Bapei, like a tiger crashing into a herd of sheep.
