A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1990

“What a strong woman! I didn't expect that the women around Chu Tianfan would go to such lengths for him for all the heinous crimes he had committed. What a despicable yet enviable man.”

King Folo, Haibu, and the others have arrived. The three of them hid in the distance, secretly observing everything that was happening at the gates of the Elysian Faction. To their satisfaction, everything was going according to plan.

As expected, Moon God showed up at the Elysian Faction ready to turn the place upside down. She really has a bone to pick with Chu Tianfan.

“Get ready for something spectacular, boys!” King Folo and the others were visibly excited at the prospect of the imminent confrontation between the women.

Junie's no match for Moon God. If she loses her life, Chu Tianfan will undoubtedly demand retribution.

It did not matter to King Folo whether it was Moon God or Chu Tianfan who survives their altercation as either scenario was to his benefit.

The martial arts world of Japan will not recover from Moon God's death. By then, the Indians would have an easier time extending their sphere of influence into East Aploth. If Ye Fan dies, on the other hand, then the agreement made with him before will naturally be voided.

“You are really in love with him to protect him even under threat of death,” Moon God said coldly. “I wonder if he has ever felt the same way about you?”

Despite trying her best to suppress her emotions, the crowd heard an unmistakable quaver in Moon God's voice.

“Did you hear that? Why did she sound like that?”

King Folo and his companions were equally stunned.

I don't know what goes through the minds of these women. Weren't they about to fight to the death? Who cares how lovey-dovey they have been to Chu Tianfan? If I didn't know better, I would have thought they were jealous of each other.

“Women,” King Folo and the others muttered as they shook their heads resignedly.

Junie was equally confused.

I'm sensing that this powerful woman is missing the point.

“I do not know what you're talking about,” Junie repeated stubbornly. “As I said, we don't know any Chu Tianfan.”

Moon God saw through Junie's deception at once.

“Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?” Moon God whispered, the hostility in her eyes more pronounced than ever.

Junie was not afraid. “Whatever you want.”

The elders of the Elysian Faction were visibly frightened by that point.

“Don't you care about the survival of our sect, Ms. Junie?” they demanded, near tears with despair.

“Please, just tell her where he is!”

Though the elders were not afraid of death, they were most unwilling to die for an outsider.

As before, Junie turned a deaf ear and faced Moon God with grim reticence.

“So be it.”

Moon God had enough. With a wave of her arms, a cold wind blew.

The unnatural power caused the air around them to surge. The blue silk of her long skirt swayed wildly with the gale.

Without warning, a long sword appeared in her hand. Just when she was about to bring it down upon Junie, a voice rang.

“Stop!” shouted the angry voice from behind. Immediately afterward, another crowd came marching from the end of the road.

“By my order,” Noa declared, “surround her!”

The armed guards of the Vias family, numbering in the hundreds, promptly had Moon God surrounded so tightly that it would have been impossible for her to squeeze through. Everywhere she looked, Moon God stared down barrels of guns.

After securing the threat, Noa immediately ran to Junie. “I'm here to help, Junie.”

Junie did not take kindly to the intrusion. “What are you doing here? Go back! You have no business being here.”

As Noa was a civilian and only a young girl at that, Junie did not wish to implicate her in the often bloodthirsty disputes in the martial arts world.
