A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1585

After congratulating the Chu family, members of the Chu Sect then left.

But Bill, the head of the Jones family, stayed back.

“Congrats on your success and being appointed as the head of the Chu Sect. Don't forget about us once you've made a name for yourself!” Bill said.

Bill was trying to get in his good books, as the Jones family was the least powerful family in the Chu Sect.

Bill felt he might cling onto Chu Zhengliang, as the latter had a high chance of becoming the next head of Chu Sect.

He was counting on Chu Zhengliang to take the Jones family to the next level.

Upon hearing that, Chu Zhengliang grinned and shook his head. “Don't take what they said too seriously.”

“Do you remember those old folks had once said they'd never elect Tang Yun to become the head of Chu Sect? In the end, the position still went to Tang Yun,” he added.

Chu Zhengliang took a sip of the tea and explained, “Over the years, Tang Yun might not have excelled as the head of the sect, but he didn't make any mistakes either.”

He continued, “Moreover, he ranked first in the Sky Ranking. This would further consolidate his position as the head of the Chu Sect. Anyone who wishes to take over his position should at least defeat him in the Sky Ranking.”

Unlike some people who would become full of themselves after being praised by others, Chu Zhengliang stayed grounded.

Years of laying low had made him a calm and steady man.

That was why he was unperturbed by what the elder of the Chu Sect said earlier.

But Bill shook his head, as he did not agree with what Chu Zhengliang said. “I don't think you're aware of the things that had happened in the last couple of months.”

He further explained, “From what I know, Tang Yun had not made any public appearance for almost a year now. In fact, he seemed to have vanished into thin air! The elders of the Chu Sect were not pleased about it.”

Bill continued, “The head of the elders had even expressed his wish to depose him quite a few times. The elders had clearly lost their patience with Tang Yun. He had also lost support from the top brass.”

“Even the Tangs had expressed dismay over his leadership. If need be, some are ready to betray him. All in all, the Chu Sect is only one step away from deposing Tang Yun,” he added.

“So you see, there's a high chance you might succeed him as the head of the Chu Sect,” Bill pressed his voice and explained the current situation to Chu Zhengliang.

“Is that so?” Upon hearing Bill's analysis, Chu Zhengliang got serious.

Chu Zhengliang was a man who would never settle for ordinary. He was too ambitious to remain a follower for the rest of his life.

He had never given up on his ambition, even though he had to concede defeat when his brother became the head of the Chu family years ago.

His perseverance had eventually paid off when he was appointed as the next head of the Chu family.

But that was not his ultimate goal.

Chu Zhengliang's ultimate goal was to become the world's number one and most powerful martial artist, just like his father.

Looking at the situation now, it seemed he was a step closer to achieving that goal.

“Of course! We've known each other for decades, and we're related by marriage. Why would I lie to you?” Bill said.
