A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 144

Isn't he supposed to be badly beaten up?

Isn't he supposed to be lying in a gully somewhere?

How is it possible for him to be here?

As they looked at the young man who was once again standing before them, both Wang Yu and Liu Jia-Wei were dumbstruck.

And Liu Jia-Wei's expression turned as sombre as a graveyard.

In the end, he did not say a word. But when he turned around to glare at Wang Yu, his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. The look on Liu Jia-Wei's face seemed to be saying, "You idiot! How did you manage to fail such a simple task? You can't even deal with a country bumpkin! Why should I keep you around?”

All his plans had come to nothing. Just then, Liu Jia-Wei was so angry that he wished he could kick Wang Yu to death.

Wang Yu felt aggrieved and grimaced helplessly to show that he had no idea what had gone wrong.

"Fan, why did you come only now? We have been waiting a long time for you." Chen Nan looked at Ye Fan and asked in mock anger. When Ye Fan had failed to show up on time, she had worried that he had fallen prey to Zhao Wu-Ji's men.

Ye Fan smiled indifferently and said, "It's nothing. I ran into a little trouble and got delayed. It is all thanks to Young Master Liu that I am able to return safe and sound."

Ye Fan's words contained a barb so, naturally, Liu Jia-Wei got even more unhappy. He snorted coldly and scolded under his breath: "Hmph, you got lucky this time, country bumpkin. But you might not enjoy such good luck the next time."

While the group was chatting away, the hall suddenly went silent.

"Ye Fan, look. The VIPs are going to make their entrance."

Li Xiao-Hong's face was flushed bright red. This was her first time attending such a grand event, so it was only natural for her to get excited.

And just as she had said, a dozen or so female greeters in cheongsams hurried forward and lined up in two rows after they had received their order. And then, they waited there respectfully.

Beneath their feet, the brand new red carpet extended for several dozen meters from the center of the hall to outside the building.

At this moment, within the enormous hall, everyone's gaze was focused on the entrance.

Everyone was filled with reverence as they awaited the arrival of the VIPs.

Finally, as Li Er made his entrance, the hitherto quiet hall erupted into a frenzy.

"Ye Fan, look!" "That is Master Li Er! Master Li Er!"

"That is Master Li Er from Yunzhou! Our city!”

Li Xiao-Hong had gotten very agitated. After all, this was her first time seeing Master Li Er of Yunzhou from such a close distance. Her face was flushed bright red and, in her excitement, her hand that was clutching the corner of Ye Fan's shirt started to tremble.

When Chen Nan saw this, she covered her mouth and giggled. "Xiao-Hong, look at how silly you look now."

"You probably do not know, but this fellow in front of you is a personage more powerful than Master Li Er of Yunzhou."

"Ha? Miss Chen Nan, are you talking about him?" Wang Yu asked as he turned his head to look mockingly at Ye Fan. Clearly, he had overheard Chen Nan's conversation with Li Xiao-Hong.

"Haha~"

Him?"

"He is just a country bumpkin. What kind ofVIPis he?”

Wang Yu pointed at Ye Fan and spoke disdainfully, "You think he is more powerful than Master Li Er? If that is true, then Young Master Liu is the king of the world."

At this moment, he was laughing so hard that his side ached.

Liu Jia-Wei also snorted in ridicule, but he could not bring himself to be bothered with Ye Fan.

As for Li Xiao-Hong, she merely smiled faintly and said, "Nan-Nan, your jokes are really funny."

Fine~

Since no one believed her, Chen Nan did not bother to explain further.

In any case, Ye Fan was going to fight in the tournament later on. At that time, they would know just how radiant the "country bumpkin" they had been disparaging really was.

Ye Fan did not say anything. From the beginning, he had just been sitting quietly, listening quietly and observing quietly.

At this moment, the crowd erupted into an uproar again.

"Good heavens~"

"Master Lei San! That is Master Lei San from Jingzhou!"

"The ruler of Jingzhou-”

"His power and status are equal to that of Master Li Er of Yunzhou!"

"Whoa! Quick, look! Isn't that Wang Jie-Xi of Haozhou?"

"The head of the Wang family!"

"The ruler of Haozhou?"

"I heard Wang Jie-Xi became the family head and started controlling Haozhou when he was just twenty-nine!” "The Wang family is the number one family in Haozhou City."

"Even somebody as important as him is here today!"

There was tumult everywhere and, in every corner of the hall, voices could be heard talking about the VIPs.
