A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1988

Meanwhile, in Elysian Hall, an assessment for Novice was being held.

Junie wanted to strengthen Elysian Hall. Hence, she had to bring in recruits. After the ceremony, Elysian Hall announced to the world that they were in the process of recruiting.

The Vias family was to provide financial support while Folo Palace was responsible for providing a safety guarantee.

With that, India's martial artists began flocking to the recruiting process.

Within days, there were countless of them who were applying to become a Novice.

Indeed, Elysian Hall was on the crest of a wave. Upon asking, they'd received financial support, manpower support, and backers.

Not only that, but Junie also promoted four seniors to be Elysian Masters of Elysian Hall.

Including her, there were a total of five Elysian Masters. Together, they had the highest authority

over Elysian Hall.

Hence, they were required to have a discussion among themselves before handling major matters.

Of course, Junie was still the one making the final decisions because she was the first Elysian Master.

Nevertheless, Elysian Hall hadn't been peaceful at all.

From time to time, they'd have foreign powerful figures paying them a visit.

These visitors were mostly there to investigate Fen Tian's wedding.

Junie was well-prepared, though. She'd already ordered her people to keep their mouths shut and tell those visitors that they had no idea what happened.

Apart from Elysian Hall, all the martial artists from India's martial arts world were also instructed by King Folo to not reveal anything.

Since they didn't want to end up like Fen Tian, everyone knew to keep their opinions and knowledge to themselves.

That was why all the investigators from foreign countries hadn't gotten any useful information out of them over the past half a month.

However, although the investigators didn't find anything useful, the elders and Elysian Master of Elysian Hall had discovered something shocking.

They found out that the person who killed Fen Tian and ascended the throne with Junie was actually Chu Tianfan.

The elders of Elysian Hall didn't know much about Chu Tianfan because they'd been hiding in the mountains to avoid Fen Tian for the past decades.

Not only did they not know when Ye Fan became famous, but they also had no clue regarding the fall of Ye Fan.

However, they recently found out that Chu Tianfan was once a powerful figure in Sky Ranking, but he'd been listed as an enemy of the world after the evil deeds he'd committed.

When they found out about the truth, Elysian Hall's head of elders, the four newly appointed Elysian Masters, and elders went to see Junie together.

“Ms. Junie, you're making a mistake! Here at Elysian Hall, we'd only get involved with honorable people. Over the past centuries, our sect had always been righteous and transparent, and that's why everyone knows how fair and proper we are. You, as the leader, have the responsibility to uphold the sect's identity. You mustn't get involved with an evil person like him. Why are you asking us to hide his tracks and protect a despicable person like him now? When we get exposed, Elysian Hall's reputation of being upright would be tarnished! Besides, if we keep our mouths shut now, we'd be considered accomplices.

To their surprise, Junie managed to stand her ground despite her tender age. Did she just ask us to kill her instead?

Suddenly, the elders of the sect felt helpless.

Due to Junie's lack of prestige, most of the elders were not fond of theiryoung head of the sect.

However, they wouldn't dare to usurp Junie because her position was endorsed by King Folo and the other Supremes.

If they were to either kill or usurp her, they couldn't afford to deal with the response from Folo Palace. In fact, King Folo and the others might get so angry that Elysian Hall could be destroyed as a consequence.

Although the Elysian Masters knew there was nothing they could do, they couldn't hide their anger, either. “Friend? Ms. Junie, have you fallen for him?” they asked coldly.

Their words were outright disrespectful toward the head of the sect. However, they couldn't care less.

After all, they were older and more experienced than Junie. In fact, they were all stronger than her. Naturally, they didn't feel the need to respect her.

What's the worst-case scenario? They can kill me and usurp me if they want. Since her counterparts had shown such disrespect, Junie decided to return the favor. “So what if I like him? So what if I don't? If I were to bear his child, what can you do in retaliation?”

When Junie wasn't even afraid of what was the worst outcome for her, she had nothing to lose. Furious, she disregarded all the consequences and didn't hold back on her words.

The elders of Elysian Faction were infuriated. “Y-You... You're the head of Elysian Faction! How could you say such nonsense?”

The elders were trembling with anger. She's ridiculous! Is that something the head of a faction should say? Shouldn't she think of ways to strengthen the sect? Why would she think about having a child with an outsider? That was exactly what the ancient president of India did! Instead of strengthening the country, he kept thinking about marrying into China and becoming a live-in son-in-law. In the end, he'd brought shame to the whole of India! If the head of Elysian Hall really ends up having a child with an outsider, Elysian Faction would be so embarrassed! In fact, that would make us a laughingstock!
