A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1688

Whether it was the Chu family members orthe elders of the Chu Sect, everyone's last memory of Chu Yuan was the fact that he was a general in his final days, a warrior who had been conquered by time.

Back then, it was without a shadow of a doubt that Chu Yuan was at death's door. The wrinkles etched in his face showed the years he had lived.

There was a world of difference between the frail man before and the Chu Yuan that stood before them now. Although his hair was still a chalky white, he looked like he had been rejuvenated, as if he had aged backward by twenty years.

It was hard to believe that the old man was approaching his hundredth birthday, which was precisely why no one could tell that he was Chu Yuan when he first appeared.

However, Ye Fan could recognize that face anywhere.

Thirteen years of torture and suffering could be boiled down to this one person.

Had it not been for him, Ye Fan and his mother would not have been cast out of the Chu family and lived

those years in torment and humiliation.

The memory of the night they had been chased out of the Chu family was ingrained in Ye Fan's mind.

His biological father had remained silent forthe entire process, kneeling subserviently at the side.

The rest of the Chu family had simply sat by and watched the whole ordeal, their contemptuous whispers screeching to Ye Fan's ears.

As for Chu Yuan, he had sat regally on his throne, where he could look down upon them.

Finally, with a heartless bellow, Ye Fan and his mother were banished from Mount Chumen.

There were some people who would haunt Ye Fan for life, and Chu Yuan was one of them.

Ye Fan had sensed the familiar aura Chu Yuan emanated the moment he exited the forbidden grounds.

Perhaps time could change one's appearance, but the soul was unalterable.

At present, the Chu family members had prostrated themselves on the ground in front of the forbidden grounds as they cried for help.

Chu Yuan slowly scanned his surroundings, taking in the dilapidated building and the littered compound. The Chu residence was not the lavish, pristine manor it once was.

Everywhere Chu Yuan turned, signs of desolation and devastation greeted him. The lawn was splattered with blood, and even the stone door to the forbidden grounds had been shattered to pieces.

The Chu residence did not look like it housed the most prominent family in the nation. Instead, it resembled the ruins of an annihilated tribe.

“What happened? What caused the downfall of the Chu family? Where's Chu Zhenghong? Bring him to me! I left the Chu clan under his care, and this is what he does? If I hadn't returned in time, the Chu family lineage would have ended in his hands!” Chu Yuan berated, livid. Although he was enigmatic and serene in nature, he lost his composure after seeing the disastrous state of the Chu family.

His orotund voice reverberated through the area like the rumble of thunderand shook Mount Chumen.

Chu Zhengliang was still on his knees, too scared to utter a word.

The Chu family elders were in the same servile position, their throats constricted in fear.

They were afraid that Chu Yuan would decapitate them all in anger.

“Speak!” Chu Yuan ordered.

Terrified, Chu Zhengliang and the rest still could not force the words out of their mouths. At this moment, a voice traveled from the front, devoid of emotion.

“There's no need to ask them. This is all my doing. I was the one who ravaged the Chu residence and destroyed the forbidden grounds with a single blow. I am also the person who wants to eliminate the whole Chu clan!” A slender youth slowly emerged from the shadows as his clear voice cut through the still air.

Gaius and the others tensed instantly.

The Dragon Master sure is admirable! He's unperturbed even though he's going against Chu Yuan, who was previously at the top of the Sky Ranking!
