A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1733

Over at Tokyo, Japan, high-level executives including Chiike Shizuka and Miyamoto Nakanosuke were already congregated at Sango Corporation when someone ran in with an announcement.

“Director, the ambassadorthe emperor sent is waiting outside for permission to enter. It seems like they are here for an explanation regarding Sango Corporation's early departure from the birthday party.”

“Send them away,” Chiike Shizuka said, waving her dismissively.

She had no intention of meeting those people.

After sending someone to chase away the envoy, she stood up and swept her gaze across the room.

“Fellow colleagues, we have worked together to lead Sango Corporation for years.

I have served as the executive director of the company for a while now, but I believe you are all aware that I am just a proxy managing the company on behalf of Ye Fan. Now that he's in danger, we should do our part as a team to do everything within our capacity to help. Of course, I'm fully informed of the risk we are undertaking this time, so I won't oblige any of you to do as I suggest, but still, I appeal to y'all to do something,” she said convincingly at the crowd of directors.

“As the executive director of Sango Corporation, I will be calling for support from everyone under the consortium to convene at Mount Chumen after this meeting ends. That's all I have to say. I sincerely hope all of you make the right decision.”

With that said, the woman left the room.

She immediately saw to it that her intention was made clear to Miyamoto Nakanosuke.

When the old man found out about her plan, he was deeply disturbed.

“Are you sure about this, Shizuka? You're as good as dead if you go to Mr. Chu now. Despite how powerful he is, things still ended up like this. We're just normal human beings without any ability. Gathering so many of us to go over will not make any difference! You're just sending them to die.”

The head of the Miyamoto clan was disquieted, but regardless of how worried he was, Chiike Shizuka

refused to relent.

“I don't care if I die. It doesn't matter if what I do amounts to nothing as long as I can do something for Ye Fan.”

“But-”

“I've already made up my mind, Granddad. I know you think my efforts are futile and inconsequential, but it only takes a spark to get the fire going. What I'm doing might not be anything needle-moving, but I'll still give it my best. I believe as long as there are enough sparks, I will be able to set off a fire. What I do might seem trivial, but as long as I have enough people with me, we will make a difference. No one will be able to stop us. I know I'm just someone insignificant from a family that does not even command any power, but Ye Fan is the one who gave me everything. This might well be the last battle he fights, so I can't just sit and watch without doing anything. I will regret this for the rest of my life if I sit idle, so please, Granddad, could you notify everyone?” she beseeched earnestly.

“I won't force them to join me. This is purely voluntary. They don't have to meet up with me. They can just head to Mount Chumen in Norwal City on their own.”

It was apparent from her tone and demeanor that she was hell-bent on pursuing her plan to the very end, so Miyamoto Nakanosuke conceded.

In the next few minutes, details of the call to gather cascaded down the whole Sango Corporation, and every member was informed.

Despite how fast words were spread around, Chiike Shizuka herself had no idea how many people would answer her call.

Meanwhile, the four fighters from Dragon Slayers made their way through China at lightning speed across the land in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.

Trails of lights flashed in the night at the country's northern border while people continued on with their everyday life without thinking much about the phenomenon they witnessed.

They simply thought those were meteorites, yet those who were steeped in martial arts knew it was elemental forces reverberating through the ominous night sky.

They knew bloodshed would ensue.

Over at Yanjing, the night was already nigh, but Xu Lei was still going through documents and reports from all regions.

Although she was temporarily overlooking matters pertaining to Yanjing on behalf of Ye Fan, her responsibility was still extensive, covering other areas.

In fact, Ye Fan had assigned almost all operations under Dragon God Hall to her.

Although Dragon God Hall's physical war with the Chu family had just begun, the two powers had long been business competitors.
