A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1982

The news regarding the Elysian Master had spread throughout the country within the night.

As a result, every single person in every social circle of the country learned about the incredible Junie.

Everyone left the premises after the party was over, and they bid their goodbyes to Junie.

After leaving the place, the people, that had been keeping their thoughts to themselves for the entire night, finally gave in to their curiosity. They stopped King Folo, Haibu, and the others, then asked the question burning inside them.

“We don't understand, King Folo. Why would you appoint a woman like that to a position of power? What gives? Who cares about the stupid Elysian Faction or her title as the Forest God? She is a nobody, so why is she recognized in our country's martial arts world? Why should we bow down to her when I can kill dozens like her with a single swing of my blade?”

Everyone was angry and protesting endlessly because they had been holding in their frustration and theirwordsthe entire day.

They had to be respectful to King Folo earlier. That is the only reason they didn't spew their words right in front of Junie and her friends.

Now that they had left the place, they no longer needed to worry about any politics.

Hence, the angry and confused mob interrogated King Folo and the others right away.

King Folo had a stoic expression on when he turned to the crowd and calmly addressed, “Do you guys think that we were actually bowing down to that Junie girl?”

The crowd was taken aback. “ I -1 s that not the case?

You made the announcement in person just now and claim that she is the leader of the martial arts world in this country, didn't you?”

King Folo shook his head. “You've made a mistake. A grave mistake, at that. Naturally, I know all about how Junie is just a powerless woman. I am also aware of how the entire faction is just a bunch of useless pretty faces that I can kill with a flip of my hand.”

“If so, why did you lead the rest of us and bow down to them?” asked someone. The crowd became even more confused.

Even Haibu and Bapei couldn't hold it together after hearing that.

All three of them turned around and looked at the building standing behind them.

The words “Elysian Hall” were carved on the plaque at the top of the door, and the power those words emanated was incredible.

King Folo and the others knew exactly who it was that carved those words.

“We weren't bowing to Junie earlier. Instead, we were bowing to the man standing behind her, Chu Tianfan,” explained King Folo nonchalantly.

Everyone else was taken aback.

“Chu Tianfan? As in the guy who killed the King of India?”

“Huh... There is something familiar about that name...”

“Chu Tianfan? C-Could it be...?”

It seemed that someone in the crowd finally thought of something, and that prompted him to turn pale.

King Folo nodded and replied, “That's the guy. He is the same Chu Tianfan who is at the top of the Sky Ranking and left every martial artist in awe a few years ago.”

It was as the old wives' tale claimed. The bigger the pebble, the more violent the ripples.

Everyone trembled after they heard what King Folo said.

“T-That's who he is? B-But isn't Chu Tianfan dead? He was surrounded, ambushed, and killed years ago, right? How is he alive? And why is he in our country now?” No one could make heads or tails of what was going on.

Fortunately, they calmed down quickly after the initial shock.

“Actually, there is nothing to worry about. If he was defeated back in the day, then he can be defeated again today. That man is hated everywhere, so all we have to do is spread the news. Everyone will come after him. Besides, the battle from all those years ago must've left him with some long-lasting wounds. He might have survived, but there is no way he is as powerful as he used to be. There is a good chance that we don't even need to get the rest of the world on our side. The combined forces of our Grandmasters and our Supremes should be enough to kill him this time around.”

A wiser and older member of the crowd spoke up to share his thoughts and analysis.

“You are right!”

“My master, Hill, hasn't returned, but once he's here, he can join forces with the other Grandmasters. Together, we will march to the Elysian Hall and annihilate that group. We will also kill Chu Tianfan.”

Everyone else agreed and cheered.

Haibu, however, sighed in response to that.

“Things are not as simple as you think. You guys have no idea how powerful Chu Tianfan really is. A few days ago, powerful martial artists from all over the world had already ganged up on Chu Tianfan at Fen Tian's wedding. Guess how that ended? Over a hundred skilled martial artists were murdered, and the three of us were the only survivors even though we had over ten Grandmasters present that day. Your masters, colleagues... basically anyone who was at the wedding won't be coming back, so don't bother waiting for them. Also, just to be clear, the three of us

almost died that day as well.”
