A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2174

“You're King of Fighters' son, correct? I recall your father almost died at the hands of Chu Tianfan. You don't seem to be enthused about this idea, even though we're all willing to avenge your father,” someone in the crowd remarked as they frowned at Mo Wuya.

“I'm sorry, everyone. It's not that China's martial arts world isn't willing to cooperate. The issue is that we were almost wiped out during our war against Chu Sect. We have no experts left we can mobilize. Thus, please forgive us for not being able to lend a hand to this operation.” His answer was logically sound.

He might be young and inexperienced, but he could tell almost everyone had the same reason for wanting to eliminate Dragon God Hall and Ye Fan. It was because they were worried Dragon God Hall would grow too powerful in the future.

After all, no factions would wish for a stronger faction to appear.

Therefore, what better time to take out a common enemy than at that enemy's weakest moment?

While that act would benefit the martial arts worlds of other countries, that wouldn't apply to China's martial arts world because Ye Fan was Chinese.

The more powerful he was, the stronger China's martial arts world would grow.

Hence, his existence was beneficial to China.

It was why Mo Wuya was not in favor of Ye fan's assassination.

However, at the moment, China's martial arts world was weak, and Mo Wuya himself wasn't an influential figure. He wasn't going to voice his opposition unless he wanted to piss off everyone in the room without changing the outcome.

The last thing he wanted was to drag China's martial arts world into the mess. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Thus, he gave a devious excuse to explain why China's martial arts world wouldn't join the operation.

With that, Aaron and the others wouldn't be able to admonish Mo Wuya even if they wanted to.

“If that's your answer, then China's martial arts world can't claim a share of whatever loot we'll find in Chu Sect,” Carlo glanced at him.

In response, Mo Wuya nodded. “I understand that we won't receive a reward we don't deserve.”

Carlo then turned to King Folo. “What about you, King Folo? Will India's martial arts world refuse to join this operation as well? King of India died in Chu Tianfan's hand. Don't you want to avenge your fallen Indian warrior?”

Smiling, King Folo shook his head. “If you're referring to Fen Tian, he deserved to die. If I were Chu Tianfan, I wouldn't forgive him for coveting my woman, too.”

His answer stunned the crowd.

Even though India and China were neighbors, they had a rather antagonistic relationship for the past thousand years.

Whenever there was an operation targeting China, India would often be in front of the front lines.

The crowd thought it would be the same for the current operation.

Hence, Carlo and the others didn't expect King Folo would refuse to join the assault and even defended Chu Tianfan.

“Fine. Maybe Fen Tian did ask for it. However, don't you think your country should help us protect world peace and deliver justice?” Jared questioned in a deep voice.

During the war against Chu Sect, major martial arts worlds in many countries suffered heavy losses, which included the deaths of supreme grandmasters.

The only country that wasn't attacked by Chu Sect was India.

In fact, the kings in Folo Palace were all unharmed.

Hence, the sole country that still possessed its total strength was India.

It was why Jared and the others were trying desperately to get India to join Ye Fan's assassination.

In response to hearing that, King Folo shook his head and smiled with a tinge of mockery. “Can you all stop with the facade? You all know why you want to kill Chu Tianfan. To deliver justice? Really? I'm impressed that you all can say such a thing with a straight face. Do you know what I think? I think all of you are ungrateful oafs. You all should know that your survival would've been uncertain without Chu Tianfan and Dragon God Hall. Chu Tianfan helped the world defeat Chu Sect. Instead of appreciating his incredible act, you despicable numskulls are shamelessly scheming to take him down for your own gains. I understand that everyone will do despicable things to benefit their own countries, but please stop pretending you're trying to maintain peace or other nonsense like that. Those not in the know will genuinely believe we're trying to do the right thing. It's like announcing to everyone that you're protecting your chastity while selling your body.”

He was the only one brave enough to speak the truth that no one dared to.

“Are you crazy, King Folo? What nonsense are you spouting? Don't forget you're at an International Martial Arts Union meeting! We represent peace, justice, and the world's interest! If more than a

hundred countries agree to kill Chu Tianfan, then it must mean what we're doing is an act of justice! How dare you claim that we're acting despicably!”

Many people in the crowd promptly reprimanded King Folo with righteous indignation as though he had just pulled their pants down.

However, he didn't care as he waved his hand. “All of you know what you're doing. There aren't any outsiders or reporters here, so stop putting on that facade. Aren't you all tired of doing that?”

“You!” Carlo gritted his teeth with fury.

Meanwhile, Jared was so enraged that he wanted to attack King Folo.

King Folo was right, of course, but many others in the meeting didn't like him stating the truth out loud.

“Don't worry, I'm not going to say all that outside of this meeting. After all, everyone here is the leader of their country's martial arts world, the idols and role models of numerous people. I know it's not a good idea for me to expose the corruption and obscenity of the martial arts world. However, I must remind all of you that you shouldn't take Chu Tianfan lightly. If he started from a nobody to a figure feared by all of you, it's obvious that he's an extremely terrifying devil. Before attempting to kill this devil, you all must be prepared for the worst, even if the devil in question is severely injured.” As King Folo spoke, he stood from his seat.

Furiously, Jared questioned, “What do you mean by that, King Folo? Are you saying you're not going to join our operation? Aren't you afraid of being ostracized by other martial arts worlds in the future?”

King Folo sighed, “I think it's better to be ostracized than get killed. Out of everyone present in this meeting, I believe I fought against Chu Tianfan the most. He laid waste to Folo Palace and crushed

India's martial arts world under his feet. Feel free to laugh at me, but I'm terrified of Chu Tianfan after getting beaten by him. So, I'm not going to join the party for I prefer to stay alive.”

Carlo still tried to persuade King Folo. “I understand your concern, King Folo. However, there really is no need for you to be afraid this time. Chu Tianfan's in a coma right now. He doesn't have the ability to defend himself! Our operation will most likely succeed!”

To his disappointment, King Folo merely shook his hand. “Don't try to change my mind. I'm truly scared of him. Last time, you lot said he was dead, and there was nothing to be afraid of. Yet, he returned to life after death and destroyed Chu Sect three years later. This time, you lot are saying the same thing because he's heavily wounded. I can't help but wonder if he'll come back to life in three years' time to take revenge. If he does, he'll be destroying the whole world this time. That's all I have to say. Take care, everyone. India won't join the fight.”

Then, King Folo left.
