The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1387

"We just got here. It's ok to spend a few more days here before reporting back," Lv Hua said as he laughed again.

"But Brother Hua, we were tasked with visiting Grandmaster Ye Fan's widow. Since we've already visited her and offered our condolences, it's meaningless for us to stay any longer," Lin Si-Cong said in an attempt to persuade Lv Hua.

"Who said it's meaningless to stay on?" Lv Hua poured himself another glass of red wine and took a sip before continuing, Tve done a little investigation, and it turns out this Ye Fan is actually the leader of Jiangdong. His company, Mufan Group, practically controls all the financial resources in Jiangdong. All the powerful families, corporations and businesses look up to Mufan Group as their leader! And currently, the person making all the decisions in Mufan Group is the beauty whom we had met earlier, Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng."

Lin Si-Cong was astonished by what he had heard, "It's hard to believe that a young and beautiful lady like Miss Qiu could be so talented in business. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a woman to help Grandmaster Ye Fan to manage an entire corporation so successfully. This alone makes her a truly eminent woman."

Lin Si-Cong's admiration for this supreme grandmaster's widow increased.

Jiangdong was a huge territory with thousands of powerful stakeholders with conflicting interests. He definitely had no confidence to do as well as Qiu Mu-Cheng if he was given this task.

"An eminent woman?" Lv Hua asked before he started to laugh sarcastically.

"Do you really believe that a woman has the capability to overawe so many rich and powerful people in Jiangdong? Frankly, Ye Fan is the only reason why she could be so well-respected here. Qiu Mu-Cheng and Mufan Group are not the ones whom they fear or respect. It is Ye Fan, and only Ye Fan." "Otherwise, without a powerful family background or strong martial arts skills, how could a weak woman like her be able to control such a big empire? Ye Fan is the only pillar holding Mufan Group together. Now that Ye Fan is dead, do you think a lone woman like her will be able to continue to manage such a big territory?" Lv Hua explained to Lin Si-Cong as his light and flippant laughter resounded in the room.

Lin Si-Cong nodded, "Hmm, I suppose you are right."

"In this case, Jiangdong is likely going to be thrown in chaos with the death of Grandmaster Ye Fan. Brother Hua, all the more we should leave this place quickly then. Otherwise, we may become embroiled in this mess," said Lin Si-Cong worriedly.

Lv Hua's smile widened when he heard these words, "Si-Cong, do you know the reason why your ranking is always behind mine in the tests from War God Castle? It's because you are not as courageous or ambitious as me. There's a saying that the true nature of a hero will be revealed when the world is in chaos. A chaotic Jiangdong

could only mean a chance! It is an opportunity for us. Someone has to take over Ye Fan's estate since he's dead, right? Since there are bound to be contenders for his estate, why don't we join in as well?"

What?

"You want to take over Grandmaster Ye Fan's estate? Lv Hua, you're nuts! How could you covet the business of a supreme grandmaster? How dare you enter a fight for the land that belongs to a pillar of the nation? Do you have a death wish?!" Lin Si-Cong was scared shitless when he heard what Lv Hua had in mind.

He had never thought Lv Hua was this bold, to even stretch his hand into a supreme grandmaster's fortune for a share.

It was like trying to catch a tiger by its tail - that was practically suicide.

Lin Si-Cong's face was ashen as he tried to persuade Lv Hua not to do anything stupid.

But Lv Hua remained calm and explained with a smile, "Why are you panicking? I didn't say I was going to take over Ye Fan's estate. We are just going to help him manage it. I'm not being greedy and covetous here. I am doing this because Grandmaster Ye Fan told me to help him manage his estate and to take care of his family before he died. I would like to fulfil Ye Fan's last wish and help his widow manage his estate. Didn't the higher ups send us here because of this reason? We are here not only to visit Ye Fan's widow but also to give them the help they need. So really, things are not as serious as you make them out to be.”
