A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1058

A malicious sounding voice quietly rang within the ballroom.

Lu Ming-Feng's expression darkened as he looked warily and cautiously at the man in front of him with his icy gaze.

He couldn't believe Ye Fan was actually really still alive.

He had even barged so arrogantly into Haiyuan Restaurant and completely upset all of Lu Ming-Feng's plans.

"You're a really lucky one. I'm really surprised you managed to survive. You're probably the only person who has ever survived a surprise attack by the Chu family." After a brief moment of shock, Lu Ming-Feng quickly calmed down again.

Lu Ming-Feng did know a thing or two about what happened to Ye Fan.

The Lu family was a powerful family in Yanjing and had some dealings with the Chu family.

They had managed to enter Jiangdong with help from the Chu family as well.

"That so called King of Jiangdong, Ye Fan, has already died after the Chu family attacked him. Nobody is in charge of Jiangdong now, so you can replace his role and take control of Jiangdong!" That was what the Chu family had told Lu Ming-Feng before he had left.

Lu Ming-Feng had believed in those words fully back then.

It never crossed his mind that the Chu family would actually make a mistake.

Ye Fan wasn't dead!

He had come back alive.

"But so what? It's too late to change anything now. Mufan Group which you built from scratch, has been completely destroyed by me. All the rich and powerful of Jiangdong belong to me. The entire province has stabilized and will continue to be this way from now on. I have become everything to Jiangdong!"

"So what if you're back? Did you think you could still turn the tables?" laughed Lu Ming-Feng coldly. His handsome face was filled with smugness and arrogance.

"Of course, I know how powerful you are, Mr Chu. You turned the tides at Mount Tai and you became famous after the battle at Dongchang Lake. But even if you can defeat one person or ten people, what about a hundred? Or a thousand? Ye Fan, matter how powerful you are, you are by yourself."

"I, on the other hand, am backed by an entire clan. The Lu family is one of the most powerful families in this country. When it comes to family background, who in China can rival me? But you? You're just a country bumpkin of lowly birth. You're all by yourself and you think you can fight the Lu family?"

This was what Lu Ming-Feng was counting on.

He knew that Ye Fan was physically very powerful and was able to break almost anything.

But he remained unafraid because Lu Ming-Feng's identity and family background was the one thing he could rely on.

Lu Ming-Feng had gotten into a lot of trouble and offended a lot of people in his lifetime. But once those people knew that he was a scion of the Lu family, nobody dared to make Lu Ming-Feng responsible for any wrongdoing and even turned around to apologize to him instead.

That was what it meant to have power and an influential family background!

Even if you were really strong and formidable, you had to bow in the face of power and influence.

That's why Lu Ming-Feng remained calm and unafraid even after witnessing how Ye Fan had flown into the air and broke through the wall earlier.

He knew that Ye Fan wouldn't dare to hurt him!

Nobody on earth would dare to!

The entire ballroom fell silent.

Nobody said anything at all. They were all too frightened to speak. Only Lu Ming-Feng was still smiling faintly as he sipped his tea leisurely at the table.

Ye Fan didn't say anything either. His skinny silhouette remained standing where it was.

"Mr Chu? Why aren't you talking? Weren't you filled with authority and emanating with dominance just a few moments ago?" The smug smile on Lu Ming-Feng's face grew wider.

Ye Fan's silence had only served to make Lu Ming-Feng even more complacent.

He thought that Ye Fan was scared.

But that only made sense. The Lu family was so powerful with such a long and rich history of influence in the country. Many of his ancestors and family members worked for the government all these years, so they held quite some clout in China.

His was a family that Wu Wei-Tao wasn't even fit to visit.

And because the Lu family was this powerful, everybody had to be a little more cautious around Lu Ming-Feng.

Even Xu Lei didn't dare to touch him even though she was also the head of a very powerful family.

Ye Fan took one step towards Lu Ming-Feng each time he said one sentence, and that overbearing aura around him increased at the same time.

Ye Fan's aura exploded as he shouted furiously, "You want me to lower myself and offer you wine? You want me to kneel down and beg for mercy? You are nothing but an ant to me! You have no right to make me do such a thing!"

"How dare you! Are you tired of living? How dare you actually say such disrespectful things to Young Master Lu! Do you have a death wish?" Wei Fu immediately burst out shouting at Ye Fan sternly before Lu Ming-Feng even responded.

"So noisy!"

Ye Fan shouted back at him coldly.

BAM!

Ye Fan gave a mighty kick!

PFFFT!

Wei Fu's ribs broke and blood spurted everywhere.

He seemed so invincible earlier before Ye Fan appeared, but now, Ye Fan had simply kicked him and sent his hefty body crashing into the wall behind him.

Wei Fu's head immediately exploded with a loud explosion.

Blood and brain juices sprayed in all directions.

A broken corpse slid lifelessly down the wall.

The son of a grandmaster had lost his life at Ye Fan's hands before he could even yelp.

Silence.

It was completely silent.

Only the echoes of Ye Fan's angry shout earlier resounded in the ballroom.
