A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1683

Chu Yuan had always treated the Demonic Duo as equals, so the other Chus, too, held the two in high regard.

Even Chu Shen, an honorable elder in the family, respected the duo very much.

The dire situation that the family found themselves in only served to increase Chu Shen's deference toward the two.

Naturally, he got upset when Chu Qitian was being disrespectful. Who's going to protect us from Ye Fan if he offended the Demonic Duo?

Even though Chu Shen also wanted the duo to kill Ye Fan, he knew better than to second-guess their decision.

Besides, Chu Shen was also worried that Ye Fan might do something unexpected when cornered, and he would rather not find out what other trump cards the young man had up his sleeves.

After all that had happened, the Chus had grown to fear Ye Fan.

Compared to their desire to see the man dead, they would rather that Ye Fan just leave them alone. The sooner Ye Fan gets out of our sight, the better!

However, Ye Fan had no such intention. “Stop fighting? You make that sound so easy, but do you really think I can do that? I'm not leaving this place until I wipe out the Chus!” promised Ye Fan in all seriousness.

After hearing that, the Demonic Duo rubbed their foreheads, feeling troubled. “Is that really necessary? Why do we have to kill each other? I know Patriarch Chu kicked you out of the family back then, but you're part of the Chus nonetheless, and these are your family! Do you really want to spill the blood of your own family members? Can't we just talk things over? I'm sure the elders are more than willing to make things up to you,” suggested the two with a straight face.

Suddenly, Ye Fan burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “You think they're going to make things up to me? The Chus care about nothing except their reputation, so what makes you think they'll ever talk things out with me? I used to be as naive as you are right now. I thought a prominent family like the Chus would never break their promises. Do you want to know what I found out in the end? It was all just a big fat joke to them! If I were you, I'd save my breath because you can't change my mind. None of the Chus are trustworthy, so I'll never negotiate with them. If you two insist on defending them, I'll have no choice but to take you down as well.”

With that, Ye Fan took up a stance to get ready for his move, Invoke the Celestial Sky. Suddenly, the elemental force from his surrounding started gathering around him.

He was like a dry sponge voraciously sucking in all the energy near him.

Even though the Demonic Duo could tell that Ye Fan was getting ready to go all-out, they remained as calm as the sea. The two had so much battle experience that they were convinced they had seen it all.

As much as the duo respected Ye Fan's capabilities, they assumed that the young man got too emotional in the matter.

“Why throw your life away like this, young man? Your struggle is futile because there's nothing you can do to harm us. We don't want to kill any Chus, much less the son of Zhenghong. If you do as we say and walk away, we'll pretend as if nothing had happened,” added the Demonic Duo indifferently.

The tone they used to speak with Ye Fan was like that of a father trying to dissuade his son from prodigal habits.

“I appreciate the kindness, but that won't be necessary because the Chus are not looking for forgiveness and I'm way past trying to get them to repent. One of us must perish today. It's either me or them!” shouted Ye Fan so loudly that his voice reverberated throughout the Dragon God Hall.

“You fool! You have no idea what you're getting yourself into!” The Demonic Duo had always had a deadpan expression on their faces, but at that moment, they seemed to be angered by Ye Fan's stubbornness. “But if you insist on ending your life like this, we'll oblige. The Chu family has been around for at least a century, and it will continue to thrive under our watch!”

Whoosh!

The Demonic Duo then took to the sky, and all the others could see were two beams of light, one white and the other black, shooting upward.
