A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2262 Rescue

How did it matter if there was no one to help? How did it matter if he fought alone bravely? Even if he was the only person left in the world, he would also shed his last drop of blood to fight for the world. With full of determination, Ye Qingtian embarked on his journey to the West. At that moment, the world's top martial artists were moving forward to Kransbay for gathering. In just one day, Mount Kransbay in China had become the center of the world. After Chen Jiuzhou and the others gathered at Kransbay, a figure in white appeared outside a heavily guarded dungeon in Western Epea. It was as if a ghost in the darkness of the night.

“Who is it? How dare you trespass in a martial arts world? Leave at once!” yelled the personnel stationed outside the dungeon harshly.

However, that person ignored the yelling of warning. His expression was cold and emotionless as he looked at everything before him. He asked sternly, “Tell me, where are Aaron and Carlo being held?”

Upon hearing that, the guard's expression changed instantly as he asked, “Who exactly are you?”

The man in white lost his patience and retorted, “It seems that you have no intention of cooperating, do you?” NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Boom!

The moment the words were spoken, the man in white stomped his foot fiercely on the ground. The sound of a deep rumble could be heard.

As the ground cracked open, an Unseen Qi suddenly swept out, engulfing the surrounding in all directions. The cast steel gate before them was shattered to pieces under that powerful Qi.

“W-What is this?”

“The Power of Supreme.”

“A-Are you a supreme grandmaster?” The guards had suddenly gone crazy. They shuddered upon seeing that. They never would have imagined that the person standing before them at the moment was a Supreme. However, it should not be like that. Logically speaking, at that point in time, all the powerful Supreme of Epea had already gathered at Mount Kransbay.

How is it possible that there are still people here?

“If you don't want to die, then get lost!” the man said again after exerting his oppressive aura. The guard showed a stern expression but was frightened internally. He said while trembling, “N-No one can enter the dungeon without the orders of the Great Four.”

The Great Four they referred to were naturally the leaders on Empyrean Ranking. However, when he blurted out those words, it inevitably seemed too flat. After all, the entire martial arts world of Epea had almost been emptied with no one around. All the powerful Supreme, including The Great Four, had rushed to Kransbay. At that moment, that man who tried to intimidate others with the authority of The Great Four would undoubtedly be completely useless. Therefore, the man in white ignored him and directly barged in forcefully. The guards in the dungeon were so weak that they could not even match a Grandmaster.

Facing Supreme, they were utterly useless as they could not even withstand the opponent. At last, the man in white saw two distressed figures, who were bound by iron chains, in the innermost of the dungeon. Those two people were covered in bloodstains with an unkempt appearance. They looked like a savage locked deep inside the dungeon. Seeing their appearance, no one would probably believe that those two had once dominated the martial arts world in Western Epea and were renowned throughout the global martial arts world. They were the Great Emperor, Aaron, and the Western Epea Duke, Carlo. Those two individuals, both on par with War God in the martial arts world, had now become prisoners.

“Jerks, a bunch of jerks... If you don't kill us for even a day, the two of us will oppose your Dragon Gate Project.”

Upon hearing footsteps, the duo thought it was someone sent by Odin to torment them again. It was then that Aaron and Carlo heard that incredibly familiar voice.

“Aaron, Carlo, it's me.” The deep voice came through. Upon hearing that, their hearts skipped a beat almost simultaneously.

“W-War God?” Carlo and Aaron's voices were both trembling. Hearing that familiar voice again, those two old men who had dominated the martial arts world for many years unexpectedly felt the urge to cry. They gritted their teeth and stayed strong when facing the threat of life and death. In the face of disaster and hardship, they always persevered. Nevertheless, in that very moment of despair, the arrival of an old friend brought tears to the eyes of those two elderly men.

“War God, are you alright? Are you being controlled by them? I heard that Sword Saint and King of Fighters have fallen victim to a vicious attack.”

Upon meeting old acquaintances, Aaron and Carlo were undoubtedly overwhelmed with emotions. It was often said that everything had changed after many years. Back in the day, they and Ye Qingtian were at the pinnacle of power and were admired by people all around the world. However, it had only been a short year. Ye Qingtian's hair had turned completely grey while Aaron and Carlo were imprisoned. The world had changed. It had changed completely.

“Enough talking for now. Let me get you guys out of here.” Ye Qingtian knew very well that that was not the place to reminisce.

Although most of the powerful Supreme went to Mount Kransbay, Ye Qingtian wasn't sure whether Odin and his people had sent someone to stay in Epea. It was better to take Carlo and Aaron to leave the place to be safe.

Crack!

Ye Qingtian used his hands and directly smashed open the chains. Afterward, he took Aaron and Carlo, one in each hand, and led the two men directly out of the dark dungeon. At Seine River, the once-three leaders of the martial arts world reunited at that very moment.

However, their state of mind had already become completely different.

“War God, Aaron and I thought you had fallen victim to a vicious attack. We never expected you are still alive. This is truly great news.” By the riverside, Carlo and Aaron held tightly onto the hands of War God. Although War God had fought secretly and openly with Aaron and others for a lifetime out of national interests, they had undoubtedly set aside the barriers and prejudices between their nations and ethnicities while facing a formidable enemy. It was as if they were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side and cherished each other's company.

“It was thanks to King of Fighters and Sword Saint, who risked their lives to save me, that I was able to escape by a stroke of luck. What about you guys? How did you two end up being locked up?” Ye Qingtian also received the news recently. So, he went straight to Epea to rescue them.

“Ah... don't even mention it. Aaron and I discovered the massive side effects of Dragon Gate Project half a year ago. The two of us wanted to try our best to stop it, but unfortunately, we couldn't beat someone stronger. Odin and those jerks like Asura locked us all up.”

He continued, “However, we're considered a blessing in disguise. Perhaps they had locked us up for so long that they forgot about us and didn't send us into the Dragon Gate. Otherwise, the two of us will also be enslaved and become puppets of those jerks.”

Aaron and Carlo were filled with bitterness in their hearts. The strangeness of the Dragon Gate Project had long been noticed by them. They had been secretly investigating and eventually discovered that the souls of everyone who entered the Dragon Gate seemed to be controlled by

someone, causing their personalities to change drastically. Upon learning about that matter, Aaron, and Carlos were undoubtedly filled with immense regret. From the very beginning, they should not have supported the plan.

“If only we had realized this sooner, we could have prevented our people from being manipulated and turned into puppets,” Carlo sighed repeatedly. Ye Qingtian felt down and said, “Actually, Ye Fan knew about it long ago. He has warned us before, too. Back then, we were obsessed with power and simply wouldn't listen.”

Speaking of Ye Fan, Aaron and Carlo also felt somewhat ashamed.

“In the past, when Chu Tianfan was around, we all regarded him as a ferocious beast. Aaron and I even tried every means to put him in a deadly situation. Back then, we all believed that once Chu Tianfan died, the world would return to peace, and there would be no more threats in the martial arts world. But now, he is gone, and all of us are doomed too...”

It was often said that a powerful leader would not let the enemies pass the frontier.

Back then, they had wished day and night to put that man to death. However, when they truly lost him, the world was thrown into complete chaos. At that moment, Carlo and the others finally realized that it wasn't Ye Fan who needed the world, but rather, it was the world that needed that man.

“War God, have you ever tried to find Chu Tianfan? Is he really dead? If he's alive, perhaps he'll have a way to stop this disaster.”
