A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1840

The hall was packed with attendees wearing masks that covered their faces.

It was a necessary measure to ensure their safety.

Previously, there had been a few incidents where someone attacked the bidders and robbed them of their auction items.

Therefore, the organizers decided to conduct the auction anonymously to protect the bidders' safety.

With that, those with malicious intentions would not know who won the bid.

“This mask is hideous! Who got me this mask? Why is it the face of a rat?” A young man among the crowd pulled off his mask, refusing to wear it because he found it ugly.

Hearingthe complaints in the distance, Junie glanced at Ye Fan and said, “Your mask suits you quite well.”

Ye Fan was wearing a dragon mask.

Since he was the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall, the mask indeed suited him.

“I simply took what was available,” Ye Fan said plainly.

“By the way, I heard that a man in a dragon mask appeared on the martial arts scene in the past few years and attacked fighters from Chu Sect. Members of the Chu Sect are out of their wits about him and do not dare to go out at night. Furthermore, Chu Sect even offered a bounty. It was a shocking sum,” Junie recounted the recent happenings to Ye Fan in a low voice.

She paused before continuing, “When I first heard about it, I thought you could be the man. But after thinking it through, I changed my mind. Judging from your character, I know you would have headed straight to Mount Chumen and killed Chu Yuan. You wouldn't do something so pointless. Han told me about this matter, but I could never guess who the man in the dragon mask was.”

“No matter who he is, he's probably not my enemy,” Ye Fan replied.

“Do you think it could be Gaius and the others?” Junie asked.

In recent years, Owen, Gaius, and other Dragon Slayers had disappeared without a trace.

Junie kept trying to find their whereabouts but to no avail.

“Probably not. The man in the dragon mask is more powerful than them,” Ye Fan answered.

“I wonder where Gaius and the others have gone. Could they have died on Mount Chumen?” Junie looked worried.

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan became silent.

He could almost see the scenes from the day when his men had fallen on Mount Chumen. Back then, Gaius and the others fought with all their might to give Ye Fan time to escape.

Even at that moment, Ye Fan could still remember the last moment he saw Gaius.

Gaius was spurting blood from his mouth, but he clung to the elder of the Chu Sect, refusing to let him move.

Although Gaius' body was full of wounds, he gritted his teeth and used his remaining strength to shout at Ye Fan to live on.

As the scenes played before his eyes, the air around

Ye Fan suddenly turned cold, and his aura grew intense.

If Junie had been to the North Pole, she would have noticed that the air around Ye Fan was even colder than the air at the North Pole.

“I will bring them back even if they are dead,” Ye Fan stated, sounding solemn and determined.

Stunned, Junie stared at Ye Fan, who was expressionless.

Then, she quietly reached out and held Ye Fan's icy hand.

Her hand was as warm as the sun in summer, melting his icy aura.

Soon, Ye Fan began to regain his composure.

At that moment, a female host dressed in a red cheongsam walked alluringly into the hall and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's auction. The auction shall be held for two days, and we have one hundred and eight items on auction. My name is Xiaoya, and I wish you all the best in obtaining the items you desire. Now, without further ado, let's begin the auction.”

After a simple opening ceremony, the long-awaited auction finally began.

The first item on auction was an exquisite antique porcelain vase.

Even though the vase was centuries old, it had clear and beautiful patterns that gleamed under the light.

It was truly a rare treasure.

The starting bid was eighty million.

“Ninety million!”

“Ninety-five million!”

Xiaoya explained, “This is called bear testicle wine. For all your information, that thing floating in the wine is a bear testicle.”

She paused before continuing, “It is a wine that not only nourishes a man's body but also acts as an aphrodisiac and is good for kidneys. Furthermore, it won't cause any side effects. I believe any man who drinks this wine would become more confident and energetic. With that, you can make your woman happy. The starting bid for this item is ten thousand! Each follow-up bid must increase by at least a

thousand.”

Xiaoya's coquettish and sultry voice charmed the audience.

As it was a customer appreciation item, the starting bid was low.

Although many men seemed interested in it, none dared to start bidding due to their pride.

As such, the hall fell into an awkward silence for a while.

“Eleven thousand!” Ye Fan's voice rang out in the silent hall.

Whoosh!

Instantly, everyone turned around to look at Ye Fan.

While the men sneered at him, the women shook their heads and sighed.

What Ye Fan found most annoying was Junie looking at him strangely. “No wonder you and your wife didn't have any children even after years of marriage. It turns out that you are impotent.”

Having said that, Junie kept nodding as if she had discovered a shocking secret.

“Y-You... What nonsense are you spouting? I... I'm only buying it for a friend!” Ye Fan's expression darkened instantly upon hearing her remarks.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed why everyone was looking at him.

It seemed that they all thought he was impotent.

That is preposterous! What is this nonsense? I am the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall and number one in Sky Ranking. How can I be impotent?

“Oh, it is for your friend. Right...” Junie nodded, but the smirk remained on her mouth, and she was staring at Ye Fan with a weird expression.

D*mn it! She must still be thinking that I am impotent!
