A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1980

The night passed quickly, and soon it was morning.

The next day, the Vias family spent a fortune on an enormous lakeside manor in the northern suburb of Xenhall.

The manor was given the name “Elysian Hall” by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan told Junie to gather the remaining Elysian Faction disciplines at the manor.

At the same time, he also reached out to the media and announced that he would execute the King of India, Fen Tian, that night!

Junie was shocked to learn about Ye Fan's plan. “No, Ye Fan. We can't do this. Fen Tian might have done a lot of evil deeds, but he's extremely influential in the martial arts world in India.”

She continued, “By making this announcement publicly, you're provoking the Indian martial arts world. All the local warriors would come after you to teach you a lesson. Hundreds and thousands of Indian martial artists would also flock to the execution site to save Fen Tian. If that happens, you'll

once again be in deep trouble. We can't risk it!”

Junie immediately objected to Ye Fan's plan after considering the consequences.

She was afraid Ye Fan might stir up another conflict in India.

“Trust me, Junie. Everything is under my control,” Ye Fan responded calmly. He was confident that everything would go according to his plan.

Alas, Junie tried to convince him to abandon the idea but to no avail.

The next day, the news about Fen Tian's imprisonment and forthcoming execution went viral in India.

What Junie foresaw had come true.

Ye Fan's announcement had instantly caused an uproar in India.

Martial artists from all over India were both stunned and furious.

“What on earth is this Elysian Hall? How dare they kill the guardian of India?”

“Lord Fen Tian must have fallen prey to their dirty tricks!”

“Lord Fen Tian is like a god to us. We must rescue him!”

Angry sentiments echoed throughout the country.

Hundreds and thousands of martial artists began making their way to the capital of India, Xenhall.

By evening, all the martial artists had surrounded Elysian Hall.

They all swore to rescue Fen Tian and exterminate Elysian Hall.

Seeing how things had spiraled out of control, Junie's eyes started to turn red. “See? It's all your fault. I told you not to be too vocal about Fen Tian's execution. Now everyone knows about it and came to us. I bet these martial artists would tear this newly-acquired manor apart by tonight!”

Rage throbbed in Junie like a heartbeat.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted Ye Fan!

However, Ye Fan merely told Junie to be patient and did not explain further.

“Bad news, Master Junie! Bad news! The people from Folo Palace have arrived! We're screwed!”

A few of Junie's seniors ran in frantically.

Upon hearing that, Junie's expression turned grim. “How many of them?”

“T-Three of them—all Supreme warriors.”

Junie could not help but panic.

Even King Polo's top three Supreme warriors have arrived. A bloody battle is definitely going to take place soon.

That was not the outcome Junie wanted, so she turned to Ye Fan and said, “I think we should release Fen Tian. We mustn't engage in another battle. It's not going to do us any good.”

Junie chose to take a step back because she did not want Ye Fan to fight anymore.

Ye Fan did not respond to what she said. Instead, he told her to bring Fen Tian over.

Junie thought Ye Fan had agreed to her plan. She immediately instructed her men to bring Fen Tian over. The three of them then walked out of the hall.

The people who gathered outside the manor were all riled up.

Had King Folo and his men not stopped these rowdies from advancing, they would have torn Elysian Hall down.

Junie stood on an elevated platform in front of Elysian Hall and addressed the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, Elysian Hall has no intention of offending anyone here. We only captured Fen Tian because he killed my master.

“But after considering Fen Tian's contribution to the martial arts world in India, we decided not to kill him. Since we've decided to spare his life, we hope all of you can retreat once we release him. And I hope all of you would not try to pick fights with us!” she negotiated.

To Junie, Fen Tian was nothing more than a cripple.

He was as good as dead.

Whether Fen Tian was alive or dead, it did not matter

much anymore.

It would be a win-win situation for both parties if they could resolve the tension without sparking a bloodbath.

“Save it! Release Lord Fen Tian first!”

“Yeah! Release Lord Fen Tian!” the crowd demanded.
