A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2021

Bill's hateful voice echoed throughout the secret underground chamber.

However, Michael's mind had already gone blank, and his body trembled so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

“B-But Dad, I... I thought you said the Chus weren't responsible. Back then, weren't you the one who denied that Chu Tianqi took Angie's eyes?” he questioned in bafflement.

When Ye Fan was defeated at Mount Chumen, Chu Tianqi just so happened to end his training. Not only that, but the latter also summoned the Chu Sect's Sacred Beast, Blaze.

At that time, Bill and his son were sure that Chu Tianqi had Angie's eyes. Michael even confronted Chu Tianqi because of what he believed to be true.

To show that they were dead serious about the matter, the Joneses went to Chu Yuan for justice.

However, Chu Tianqi denied the accusation, and so did the other Chus.

In order to protect Chu Tianqi, Chu Yuan claimed that the Joneses were talking nonsense and insisted that Ye Fan was responsible for Angie's missing eyes.

In the end, Bill changed his tune suddenly, apologizing publicly to the Chus. Besides that, he also agreed that Ye Fan was the culprit.

Only then did the farce come to an end.

“If I hadn't gone along back then, you would've lost your life, and our family would've been wiped out,” responded Bill with a satirical chuckle. “I had no choice but to change my stance if I wanted to keep us safe. This is a dog-eat-dog world; only the strong survive. The truth does not matter to them. What's important is that the person with the biggest gun gets the final say, and their words are the truth. We don't stand a chance against the Chus in terms of combat power, so there's no point in standing our ground. Not only will we fail to avenge Angie, but we'll also bring about our own destruction. All I could do then was let Chu Tianfan take the blame.”

When he finally finished explaining, there was nothing but endless anger and hatred in his eyes.

Even though he knew who harmed his daughter, Bill could not do anything about it.

Instead of avenging Angie, the father groveled at his enemies' feet.

That moment had tortured Bill for many years, and only he knew what it was like to be that helpless.

Michael's eyes were filled with terror after he listened to his father. For all those years, I've treated the Chus and Chu Tianqi as my dearest comrade-in-arms. Never did I expect them to have such a despicable soul beneath their dignified appearance.

“Those b*stards! Animals!” cursed Michael with clenched fists and blood-red eyes before turning around, ready to leave.

“What are you planning to do?” Bill hollered.

“I'm going to kill Chu Tianqi! How dare that b*stard fool me for so many years!” Michael had his teeth tightly gritted.

“Nonsense! You're just a Grandmaster; you can't even beat the old Chu Tianqi, so what makes you think you have a chance now that he has Jade Eyes?” His father raged.

“So what? Chu Tianfan never let the fear of death stop him from avenging Angie. I'm her brother, so I should be just as fearless. Even if I die, I'm going to make sure I knock a few teeth off of that b*stard!”

At that point, Michael no longer cared if he would lose his life, anger consuming his rationality.

Slap!

Bill suddenly stepped forward and gave his son a hard slap to the face.

“How long do you intend to keep this nonsense up? We're in a life-and-death situation at this juncture, so it's not the time for you to be reckless! I didn't suppress my emotions all these years just to see you throw your life away. Knocking off a few of the Chus' teeth is far from the retribution they deserve for the pain they caused your sister!” Bill roared.
