A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2251 It Is Completely Over

It had happened more than once. Ever since the news of Ye Fan's death spread, those Supremes from the Folo Palace had been visiting from time to time. They only had one main purpose, which was to ask Junie if Ye Fan was really dead. After all, they had dealt with Ye Fan more than once. Ye Fan had already played the trick of faking his death twice with them.

The first time was by the shore of Eastsea, where Ye Fan ended his own life with a sword. A year later, he caused chaos in the martial arts world in India. The second time was during the great war at India's Folo Mountain. At that time, King Folo and the others truly believed that Ye Fan was dead. Nevertheless, they were proven wrong in the end.

King Folo remembered that time. Ye Fan made a return after disappearing for several months. First, he murdered the King of India, and then he destroyed the Folo Palace. Lastly, Ye Fan even forced them to become slaves and servants. As the saying went, everything that happened twice would surely happen a third time. King Folo and the others were clearly frightened by Ye Fan's tricks. Even if Ye Fan's corpse were to be brought to them now, King Folo and the others would still doubt whether this was a crafty escape played by Ye Fan.

Therefore, even if the whole world believed that Ye Fan had died a terrible death under the nuclear explosion, King Folo, Haibu, and the others still felt that Ye Fan might not be dead. They thought the reason for Ye Fan's disappearance for such a long time was that Ye Fan had been hiding in that unknown place to heal and cultivate. Nonetheless, these were just their doubts. King Folo and the others clearly still wanted to figure things out.

“These old geezers are really relentless.”

Upon hearing that King Folo and the others were once again inquiring about Ye Fan's situation, Junie's eyebrows immediately furrowed. In the end, she still let King Folo, Haibu, and the others enter.

“Miss Junie, I've finally met you. Upon learning about Mr. Chu's passing, we are deeply saddened and heartbroken. But you seem exceptionally calm. Judging by your reaction, could it be that Mr. Chu isn't dead at all, but alive and well?”

King Folo and the others looked toward Junie. Junie's face was expressionless as she asked, “I want to know, can anyone survive a nuclear explosion in this world?”

King Folo thought for a moment and shook his head. “It doesn't seem like it.”

“So, why do you think Ye Fan can survive?” Junie's response left King Folo and the others momentarily stunned. They felt that her words made sense but they felt something was amiss upon further thought.

Seeing their silence, Junie continued, “So, please don't come to me with such foolish questions again. I have other matters to attend to. Please leave.”

King Folo exchanged glances with Haibu and the others, then he forced a bitter smile.

“Since Ms. Junie doesn't want to tell us, we won't bother you any further. However, Ms. Junie, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure your safety here. I will never reveal the location of your Elysian Hall's base to those martial artists from outside the domain.” Junie nodded.

“Thank you very much.”

During this period, Junie had not faced any significant threats. She had to admit that King Folo and the others had indeed put in a lot of effort. China had indeed dispatched several teams to India to investigate the whereabouts of Ye Fan's relatives. However, due to the obstacles posed by the Folo Palace, their investigation was fraught with difficulties, and each attempt ended up fruitless. They could not even locate the headquarters of the Elysian Hall, let alone found Ye Fan's friends and family.

Previously, Junie found it quite strange that King Folo and the others had become so friendly all of a sudden, even going so far as to voluntarily offer protection to the Elysian Hall. After all, Ye Fan was already dead. Back then, Junie thought that King Folo and the others were good because they did not add insult to injury. However, the subsequent developments greatly exceeded Junie's expectations. Later on, Junie finally understood that they did not believe Ye Fan was already dead. Junie thought King Folo and the others must be scared. If they were unwilling to help or had added insult to injury, they would face trouble again once Ye Fan returned. As the saying went, once bitten, twice shy. King Folo and the others were probably afraid of Ye Fan. Upon realizing this reason, Junie could not help but find it especially amusing.

“By the way, Ms. Junie. If Mr. Chu is still alive, please tell him that we, the martial arts world of India, have always considered him the best friend of our country. We are constantly waiting for his return. In today's martial arts world, treachery and evil prevail, and the people are plunged into misery. We, the martial arts world of India sincerely hope that Mr. Chu can once again return to turn the tide and save the world from the brink of disaster.”

King Folo just reached the door when he seemed to remember something. Suddenly, he turned around and spoke to Junie in a very serious and earnest tone. Junie did not respond and remained silent. Upon seeing the situation, King Folo did not want to risk being rebuffed further, so he turned around and left. After King Folo left, Noa looked up with an expectant expression on her pretty face and asked Junie, “Junie, is what King Folo and the others said true? Is Ye Fan really still alive?”

It had been almost a year since Ye Fan died in the nuclear explosion. At first, when Noa heard the news, it was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, leaving her grief-stricken and devastated. Even after a year, when Noa thought of Ye Fan every night, she still felt heartache. The heart-wrenching pain she felt was even more unbearable than when she lost her father. After all, it was Ye Fan who brought Noa hope once again during her darkest and most desperate moments. For women, what kind of person was the most unforgettable? Perhaps, it was not the people who raised and nurtured

her. Instead, it was the man who had once saved her from the brink of death and brought her back into the light. And Ye Fan, without a doubt, was that man.

Seeing Noa's eager expression, Junie could not help but sigh.

“Noa, I don't want to deceive you. Regarding Ye Fan's life or death, I'm not sure either. After all, ever since the incident, I haven't seen him, nor have I received any news from him.”

Upon hearing Junie's words, the light in Noa's eyes dimmed once again. Seeing Noa looking so disheartened, Junie patted her on the head and comforted her, “Silly girl, I just said there's no news, but that doesn't mean there's no chance that Ye Fan is still alive. Although he never contacted me again afterward, he did have a brief encounter with me before the incident occurred. He told me not to worry about him. No matter what happens in the future, he has a foolproof way to save his life. Ye Fan asked me to take care of his loved ones until he returns. Although I don't know where Ye Fan's confidence comes from, we should trust him, shouldn't we? After all, he has overcome so many obstacles along the way. We believe that he is still alive this time.”

Junie spoke softly. The reason why Junie was not too heartbroken after Ye Fan's death was because of these words that Ye Fan had left for her before his death. Although Ye Fan acted roguish when he was with Junie, he always kept his word and never went back on his promises. Hence, Junie always believed that he was still alive!

“Yes, Ye Fan must still be alive!”

Noa nodded firmly and said with conviction. For a period of time after that, the global martial arts world was peaceful, which had not happened for a long time. As the last batch of adventurers entered the Dragon Gate, Odin and the others publicly announced that the Dragon Gate Project would be completely terminated after this batch of adventurers came back from the Dragon Gate.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Upon receiving this news, the martial artists who had not yet entered the Dragon Gate were overjoyed and grateful, with tears streaming down their faces. They felt as if they had survived. However, those with keen perceptions could sense something unusual in this change. That feeling was as if the buildup before the storm was about to end. The day the Dragon Gate Project was terminated marked the arrival of the catastrophe!

“Ah... It's over, completely over... Is the real catastrophe finally upon us?”

In the Chu residence, Grand Old Lady Chu sighed while looking at the sky.
