A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2330 The Unexpected Incident At Mount Kransbay

“Then let's guard this place until the end of the world.”

“Anyway, even if I leave here now, I have nothing to do.”

“My daily routine is just teasing the girls and hanging out with the ladies.”

“Huh...”

“The monotony and dullness are just unbearable.”

Gaius sighed.

“Don't you have anything you're striving for?”

“One must have goals and aspirations.”

“Only when we are full of hope for the future, can we find the motivation to live each day,” Zhang Nanhai asked.

Gaius shook his head. “I'm the kind of person who doesn't have grand ambitions.

“The fact that I am being able to step into the realm of supreme grandmaster is entirely thanks to the blessings of Dragon Master.

“The pursuit of the former Dragon Master was once my pursuit too.

“But now, Chu Yuan is dead, the Chu family is gone, and Symborsus have been driven away.

“Dragon Master has disbanded the Dragon God Hall too.

“Suddenly, life seemed meaningless.

“Thank goodness Dragon Master assigned me some tasks, otherwise I would have died of boredom.

“But honestly, even if ten years from now, this world truly reaches its end, I, Gaius, will also perish in the catastrophe.

“Hence, I won't be at a loss.

“I feel that my life has already been wonderfully fulfilling.

“I have follow Dragon Master to conquer the world.

“We've blown the globally dominant Chu Sect to smithereens, after their centuries of reign!”

“Chu Yuan, who was coveting the god realm, couldn't even stand a chance against us.

“Hahaha...

“Truth be told, life is worth living if you've had a few badass moments, then you can die without regrets!”

Gaius laughed heartily, tilting her head back and downing several glasses of wine.

“Come to think of it, I'm quite fortunate.

“I'm grateful that I followed Dragon Master years ago.

“In my lifetime, I, Gaius, have encountered countless beautiful women, young ladies, mature women, all sorts of them. But the most heart-stirring encounter I've ever had is with Dragon Master!

“Truly, if it weren't for Dragon Master, I, Gaius, would have been nothing more than a frivolous playboy even unto death.

“There's simply no opportunity, like now, to leave such a vibrant mark in the history of the martial arts world.

“If you don't believe me, go and ask around. You can check with any supreme grandmaster in the world. Who doesn't know about my reputation as Gaius?

“Wherever I go, the martial arts leaders of that country must treat me with great respect!” Gaius spoke with delight.

The pride and honor in his words were so vivid.

Listening to this, Zhang Nanhai couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Gaius.

In one's lifetime, almost everyone aspired to make a name for themselves and bring honor to their family.

Zhang Nanhai was no exception.

Even so, he had gained made his name among the younger generation in the martial arts world of China.

However, compared to Gaius, a renowned figure recognized globally, the gap was undoubtedly too wide.

Not to mention Chu Tianfan, who was revered like a deity and feared like a demon.

“After listening to you, I too wish to meet this Dragon Master and the Unrivalled Supreme of China, Chu Tianfan, Mr. Chu.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Without a doubt, Zhang Nanhai's respect for Ye Fan grew even more.

He found it hard to imagine, just what kind of man could inspire such unwavering loyalty and admiration from a heroic figure like Gaius.

Zhang Nanhai had heard countless tales about Ye Fan.

Among the younger generation of China, many had already set Ye Fan as their goal and role model.

After all, Ye Fan's experiences were incredibly captivating.

From being a plain live-in son-in-law in a remote small town to reigning power over Jiangdong and commanding China.

In his early twenties, he was inducted into War God Castle, bestowed with the title of Pillar of China, and hailed as the Unrivalled.

Of course, if it were just these experiences, Ye Fan's journey wouldn't be considered overly inspiring, nor would it move everyone in the world.

What truly touched people about Ye Fan was his relentless spirit. he would never give up despite enduring countless hardships. He had unwavering resolve and would never admit defeat even when faced with life-and-death situations.

But what did it matter even when he was expelled from War God Castle, banned by the martial arts world, or even shunned by everyone in the world?

The so-called true warrior must strive to fight back even when hitting rock bottom. He should remain calm even when sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The reason why Ye Fan's journey was so epic and grand was that he had repeatedly turned the tables in situations where death seemed almost certain.

In the end, he conquered China, tamed Chu Sect, and even won over the martial arts world.

In a way, no one in the current martial arts world, or any supreme grandmasters dared to utter a single word of disrespect towards Ye Fan.

Of course, all that outsiders saw was the authoritative and domineering side of Ye Fan.

And today, Zhang Nanhai saw another side of Ye Fan through Gaius.

It was the tenderness under his iron mask and unparalleled loyalty, that inspired countless people to follow him to the death.

“Hahaha...”

“You wish to meet Dragon Master.

“Little fella, you're not qualified yet.

“Dragon Master is now, without a doubt, The Greatest in the world.

“The Greatest. Do you understand?

“It is like the highest mountain in the martial arts world, and also the longest river.

“Do you really think someone like you could just see him anytime you want?

“If there were only ten years left in life.

“I'm afraid you might never get the chance to meet Dragon Master until you die.”

Gaius laughed heartily, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction.

For Gaius, serving Ye Fan was undoubtedly a matter of great honor and pride.

However, when the two were in the middle of a conversation, the wind began to blow suddenly!

The bonfire before Gaius suddenly began to tremble and sway intensely.

An invisible force and pressure came head-on.

“Oh no, Mr. Gaius, someone's coming!”

Suddenly, Zhang Nanhai became tense.

He instinctively stood up, his expression becoming unusually solemn.

Because, he could sense that the person who was coming was very powerful.

He was stronger than anyone he had ever met.

The intense aura that was spilling out actually made Zhang Nanhai shudder subconsciously. He had an overwhelming urge to kneel in reverence.

Suddenly, Zhang Nanhai felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

But Gaius just laughed.

“Hahaha...

“Little fella, you must have a lucky star.

“Your wish, it seems, is about to come true.

But Gaius burst into hearty laughter.

Then, under Zhang Nanhai's astonished gaze, Gaius, like a child, sprang up from beside the bonfire. Bouncing and hopping all the way, then headed straight towards the front.

Sure enough, after rushing in, Gaius saw a faint figure, walking leisurely against the snowy night.

Yes, the person who appeared before them was none other than Ye Fan, who had disappeared for a year.

Compared to his past self, the present Ye Fan had lost a sense of impulsiveness and wildness but gained a touch of world-weariness and restraint.

After a decade, Gaius met his master again.

Immediately, Gaius bowed deeply.

“Earth God Gaius greets Dragon Master!”

A voice that was majestic and powerful, echoed like thunder rolling across the sky.

Beneath Mount Kransbay, a gentle sound began to resonate.

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Nanhai shuddered instantly.

His eyes were filled with terror, his heart pounding and trembling with emotion.

Dragon... Dragon Master?

Did Gaius actually call him Dragon Master?

Could it be that this person is Dragon God Hall Master, the one man who single-handedly battled the world, trampled Chu Sect, suppressed Symborsus, ascended Celestial Road, and opened Sky Gate, known as The Greatest, Chu Tianfan?

Zhang Nanhai's breathing became rapid.

He stood there, transfixed, gazing at the approaching figure.

Until the end, he appeared under Universe Tree.

The bonfire here illuminated Ye Fan's face.

In the darkness, the figure of Ye Fan flickered, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

“Has it been a year already? Has Universe Tree grown this much?”

Ye Fan stood under the tree, looking up, his face looked gloomier by a few degrees.

Gaius rushed over, respectfully replying, “Indeed, Dragon Master, Universe Tree can grow several meters in a day. I'm afraid it's nearly one thousand meter high now.”

Ye Fan nodded.

Then he looked around and asked, “So, it's just the two of you here?

“What about people from other countries?”

Ye Fan remembered that the last time he came here, this place was bustling with people.

And now, the place was deserted, filled with an extreme sense of desolation.

It seemed that during his time away, great changes had occurred at the foot of Mount Kransbay.
