A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 146 I Don't Want to Die

At this moment, Mount Tai Hall was quiet. Everybody was looking around attentively.

The piercingly cold wind howled softly in the night air. Meanwhile, the voices of Chen Ao and Zhao Wu-

Ji continued to resound heavily through the enormous hall.

However, even after looking around for a long while, the spectators failed to see anyone approaching

the ring.

The seven feet tall stone platform remained as empty as ever.

"Mm, where is he?"

"Could it be that he didn't come?"

"Perhaps he got frightened and ran away?"

Wang Yu raised his head and looked around. But when nobody appeared, even after a long wait, he

broke out in mocking laughter.

When Liu Jia-Wei saw this, he shook his head and commented in a sagely manner: "Well, isn't it

obvious?"

"He must have gotten cold feet and ran away."

"Just look at the magnificent set-up here today. No matter how much guts that Wu He-Rong has, there

is no way he will dare to single-handedly challenge all the leaders of Jiangdong."

"Nan-Nan, am I right?"

Liu Jia-Wei smiled shallowly, and there was an infatuated look in his eyes when he gazed at Chen Nan.

If it were not so crowded here, he would probably have succumbed to Chen Nan's beauty already and

taken her into his arms.

As for her boyfriend, Ye Fan, Liu Jia-Wei had paid him no mind from the very start.

After all, even if he were to have his way with Chen Nan in front of her boyfriend, what could that

country bumpkin do to

him?

Chen Nan said nothing. She was also feeling confused. Had Wu He-Rong really been frightened by the

magnificent set-up here? Was he too scared to show himself?

However, in the midst of everybody's discussion, Ye Fan suddenly frowned and looked upward at the

dome. And then, in a low voice, he said:

"He is here."

"Who the hell is here?"

"What a moron!" "Young Master Liu has already said that the man was scared off. So will you stop

trying to show off by spouting nonsense, you moron?!"

Wang Yu lashed out at Ye Fan right away.

Boom~

But, at this moment, a gale suddenly sprung up within the hall. Immediately afterward, a heavy sound

rang out like muffled thunder above the heads of the spectators.

"Above... Above us~"

Just then, somebody in the crowd screamed.

Everyone tilted their heads to look upward as they reeled in shock.

And they saw a dark figure standing proudly on top of the dome.

He stomped downward and part of the roof exploded.

The steel cables broke, while the stone debris drifted about in the hall.

A hole had appeared in the dome.

And then a sturdy figure leapt down from the dome. At this moment, he looked just like an angel

descending from heaven.

The velocity of the person's descent was increased to its limit by his weight!

Finally-

Boom!

When his feet landed, the ground shook and the bluestone platform shattered. Amidst the flying debris,

a pair of cavernous foot prints could be seen!

Meanwhile, the gale caused by the explosion swept through the entire hall.

When they saw this, all the spectators were dumbstruck.

Who would have thought that Wu He-Rong would make his appearance in such a stunning fashion.

He actually made his jump from the top of the dome!

How did he manage to remain unharmed, after he had penetrated the ground with his feet?

Screw him!

"What the hell? Is he still human?"

Many among the spectators were completely overwhelmed by shock.

If a normal person could remain unharmed after jumping from a height of three meters, it would already

be considered an awesome feat.

But the person before them had just kicked a hole through the roof, jumped down from a height of

several dozen meters and still remained unscathed!

Undoubtedly, this had shocked many spectators in the crowd.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was covering her mouth with her hand while, her friend, Su Qian stared at the scene

with wide bulging eyes.

As for Wang Yu, he was struck dumb and his mouth was left hanging open. Even though he had just

been lashing out at Ye Fan for talking nonsense.

"Shit. So... so he really came?"

Both Chen Ao and Zhao Wu-Ji were also shocked by Wu He-Rong's stunning entrance, and their faces

paled a little.

They had underestimated Wu He-Rong's prowess.

"You are Chen Ao of Jiangdong?"

After he had landed, Wu He-Rong stood there with both hands clasped behind his back. A certain

sharpness, much like that of a knife, was hidden in his resolute and steadfast face. Tonight, he was

dressed all in black. And when he directed his cavernous gaze at Chen Ao, the latter could sense an

overwhelming pressure emanating from him.

But Chen Ao simply nodded his head and said, "Yes, I am.”

Wu He-Rong turned his head to look at the person standing beside Chen Ao, and questioned him in a

heavy voice: "You are the number one tycoon of Jiangdong, Zhao Wu-Ji?"

Zhao Wu-Ji's face paled considerably, but he also spoke in a heavy voice. "Yes, I am."

Wu He-Rong looked at the duo standing before him and laughed.

"Back then, I, Wu He-Rong, was allpowerful in Jiangdong. I had no rivals. Everyone in all eighteen

cities of the province revered me as their leader."

"Ten years has passed and, now, Jiangdong is divided between two masters?"

"This is all you amount to. Either one of you is not half the man I am.”

Wu He-Rong shook his head as he said this. When he looked at the two Jiangdong leaders, his eyes

were filled with disdain.

"Alright, let us stop talking. Shall we start the match now?"

"So, which one of you wants to die first?" Wu He-Rong's words were cold and spoken without any

consideration for the pair's pride.

Both Chen Ao and Zhao Wu-Ji shuddered.

Wu He-Rong's overwhelming presence had caused the pair to panic. For a moment, neither of them

dared to take up the challenge.

When Wu He-Rong saw this, his smile grew wider.

"What? In the whole of Jiangdong, you can't find a single person to do battle with me?" he asked

mockingly.

In the end, Zhao Wu-Ji suddenly clenched his teeth and stepped forward.

This fellow does possess a bit of righteousness and loyalty.

Because Zhao Wu-Ji had stepped forward at a crucial moment to shoulder the burden, Chen Ao could

not help feeling a bit of respect for his long-time rival. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"There are hidden talents everywhere in Jiangdong. So isn't it the easiest thing in the world to find

someone to fight you?"

"So you are telling me that your fighter will be the first to battle me?” Wu He-Rong said as he turned to

look at Zhao Wu-Ji.

The latter snorted with laughter and replied haughtily, "Mr. Chen has more fighters than I. So he will

fight the first round!"

Screw you!

When Chen Ao heard this, his face turned dark.

So this is the only reason you just stepped forward like a boss? You wanted to inform him that I am

fighting in the first round?

I gave you the chance to show off but, instead of showing gratitude, you are getting my men to test the

waters for you?!

Just then, Chen Ao was so angry that he wished he could kick Zhao Wu-Ji to death.

Wu He-Rong turned his gaze on Chen Ao and said coldly, "Since it is like that, please let your men fight

me first."

Although Chen Ao was vexed, he did not say anything more. After all, if he kept delaying the match, he

would only be making a fool of himself and Jiangdong.

The spectators might think that Jiangdong was afraid of Wu He-Rong.

Finally, after glaring at Zhao Wu-Ji, Chen Ao turned toward the direction where Xing He was sitting. He

offered a fist-salute and shouted heavily: "Headmaster Xing He, the survival of Jiangdong lies in your

hands!"

One second-

Two seconds-

Ten seconds ticked by.

And nobody answered.

Chen Ao frowned and turned to look at the direction where Xing He was supposed to be. It was then

that he discovered that Xing He's seat was empty.

"Mm?" "Where is headmaster Xing He?"

"Where is he?"

Chen Ao was confused.

Li Er and the other Jiangdong leaders also started to look around in a panic.

"Odd, he was here just a moment ago!"

"Where could he have gone in such a short time?"

Just as Chen Ao and company were searching for Xing He, an underling rushed into the hall and

reported anxiously: "Master Ao, headmaster Xing He has just left in his car."

"Before leaving, he left you a message. He said he did not wish to die and asked you to find someone

better to take his place!"

What?

Ran away!!!

Chen Ao was immediately shocked by the news. Li Er and the others were also looking terrible.

Who would have thought that he would run away even before starting to fight?
