A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1717

The one-month deadline was closing in.

Every person in the martial arts world had their eyes on Jiangdong.

It wasn't hard to see that they were waiting for the Chu family's decision on whether they would come to Jiangdong and apologize.

China's defense ministry had, too, upped its game around this period.

Large-scale military exercises were executed expansively and simultaneously in the country, including places like Nanhai, Donghai, and Xijiang, just to name a few.

On top of that, China's War God Castle had started recruiting fighters, especially those of Grandmaster ranks. They were all summoned to return to China to prepare for the possible danger that was about to hit them.

It had to be done because the world's most powerful family might decide to enter China in the next few days.

Sword Saint and his men might not be able to stop their advancements, but they had to be wholly ready with their defensive duties.

Troops were sent to provinces around Jiangdong en masse.

Sword Saint had qualms about the Chu family's apology. What they were really after might be China's martial art world.

That was why Sword Saint and his men had to imagine the worst-case scenario before anything could happen.

Anyway, those who were the most anxious about the Chu family coming to apologize in Jiangdong weren't the Ye family. Instead, it was those running War God Castle.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, was lazing his days away. Mucheng had been talking to Ye Fan about their plans for their honeymoon trip almost every day. They never stopped chatting about what they were going to eat and what they were going to do.

There were even days when Mucheng lugged him to go shopping for clothes for that trip.

This young lady had been looking forward to the warm and fuzzy vacation around the corner.

On the other side of the globe was Angie.

She had been monitored strictly by her father and brother after the war of the Chu Sect had ended.

They would insist on at least two Grandmaster fighters to be her chaperone, in any case, she was headingout.

These arrangements weren't born out of the fear that Angie might be a runaway bride but the fear of her looking for Ve Fan.

Bill had given her numerous thoughtful advice on this matter, but Angie was as stubborn as a mule. She didn't care even if Ye Fan had already told her personally that he won't be seeing her in the future. All she wanted was to meet him one last time.

After all, Angie knew that Ye Fan's words that day weren't a sign of aversion. He said it to protect her.

The more she thought about it, the harder it became to put the man out of her mind.

She longed to see him and tell him that she wasn't scared about the Chu family's revenge. She wanted him to know that she would become as strong as he was, do things she had set her heart on, and go after the man she loved despite all odds.

The Jones were perturbed by Angie's aspirations.

“Angie, can you think about your family? Think about your brother and me!

“You do know that the way the Chu family treated us has changed significantly because of your relationship with that guy from China, right? If you don't come to your senses anytime soon, you'll be dragging the whole family into this muddy affair.

Angie, Please! I'm begging you.”

That night, Bill and Michael pleaded so hard that tears brimmed their eyes.

Angie finally said yes to their requests.

She vowed not to look for Ye Fan and to cut ties with him.

She had one condition, though. She wanted to see him one last time before honoring her promise.

She wanted to tell him everything that was pent up in

her heart.

“Can I, Father? Ye Fan is a very important person to me, and I do know that he and I will never be together. But even so, even if we never crossed paths again in the future, I still want to say a proper goodbye and end this thing on good terms. You know, a proper closure.

“Can I, Father? Michael? I swear this will be the last time. I'll come back straight after meeting him and perform my duties as the heiress to the Jones family. I'll be an obedient daughter and a good sister. I'll give my all to bring honor to our family.” She begged for their approval in tears.

Bill and Michael eventually softened their stances. They were moved by Angie's sincerity and tears.

Angie then turned toward Bill. “Father, please. Let me see Ye Fan one last time.”
