A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1626

“i... i..."

Yan Buping was in terrible shape after getting beaten up by Ye Fan.

His face was covered in blood, and every breath he took riddled him with pain.

Despite that, he did not blame Ye Fan.

He's a Supreme Grandmaster, after all. It's only natural that he'll have a temper.

Yan Buping reckoned he would have done the same thing if he was in Ye Fan's shoes.

The one he hated right now was Ke Zhe.

“It was Ke Zhe. He wanted to take the Unrivalled's wife as hostage. He even said he wanted to match her with his grandson.” Yan Buping did not hide the truth. He already had grievances against Ke Zhe in his heart. Now that the Heavenly Grandmaster had asked, he would reveal everything truthfully.

Ke Zhe widened his eyes in shock upon hearing that.

He crawled up from the ground and shouted at Van Buping. “Yan Buping, you b*stard! Are you trying to set me up? When did I say I want to match the Unrivalled's wife with my grandson?”

Ke Zhe was so agitated that he ignored all his injuries.

After all, that accusation could cost him his life. Even if Ye Fan could spare him, the War God Castle might not.

“You didn't? All right. Let's ask them then.”

Yan Buping did not back down.

Tang Hao glanced at the other Grandmasters. They all nodded slightly, implying that Ke Zhe did indeed say those things.

Seeing that, Ke Zhe became even more panicked. “You bunch of b*stards! Are you teaming up to set me up?”

Yan Buping hissed through clenched teeth, “You were the one who set us up. If you didn't keep pushing for it, we wouldn't have engaged in a conflict with the Unrivalled. You were the one who kept saying that the Unrivalled was weak and easy to defeat. Look at us now. We almost die because of you. Ke Zhe, I wish nothing more than to throttle you to death! Even if the Unrivalled makes a mistake, he should answer to the War God Castle and not you. What makes you think you have the right to cross him?”

He could not suppress his hatred for Ke Zhe.

Initially, Van Buping only planned to do his part as a message-bearer for the War God Castle. It had nothing to do with him if Ye Fan confessed to his crime or not.

Yet, Ke Zhe kept persuading them to attack Ye Fan.

He was also the one who made the first move against Ye Fan.

Thus, Ke Zhe was the only one to be blamed for what happened.

Yan Buping nearly lost his life because of Ke Zhe. As such, his hatred for the man was justified.

“That's right. It was all Ke Zhe's fault! He kept offending the Unrivalled Grandmaster. He even dreamed of making the Unrivalled's wife his granddaughter-in-law. He thinks too highly of himself!”

The other Grandmaster began to accuse Ke Zhe and express their resentment.

Seeing his comrades turning their backs against him, Ke Zhe was exasperated. He immediately explained to Tang Hao, “Heavenly Grandmaster, I didn't do it. They are talking nonsense. Even if I did say those things, I didn't mean it. They were just empty words. There is no way I will really do that. Plus, I wasn't the one who wanted to take the Unrivalled's wife hostage. It was Van Buping—”

“Bullsh*t!” Van Buping rebuked right away.

Their back and forth banter finally made Tang Hao lose his patience. He growled, “That's enough! What a bunch of incompetent idiots. You can't even accomplish a simple mission. Get up and apologize to the Unrivalled Grandmaster now!”

Van Buping and the rest did not explain anymore as they were aware it was their fault.

They lowered their heads and dragged their weary bodies toward Ye Fan before apologizing to him.

“The Unrivalled, we are so sorry for offending you. Please forgive us...”

Their previous arrogance and impudence seemed to vanish into thin air as they humbled themselves in front of Ye Fan.

“All right. That's all for now. You guys can leave.”

King of Fighters waved his hand right then, signaling them to leave.
