The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1515

Sometimes, you only needed to defeat one party in order to stop the rest from trying.

Ye Fan was going to embark on a long journey, so before leaving, he wanted to cement Xu Lei's position in Yanjing.

If he could trample over the Wei family this time, Yanjing would be peaceful for at least the next decade.

Before coming, Ye Fan had already started thinking about how he could help Xu Lei to keep a tight rein over Yanjing.

Yanjing was a very different place from Jiangdong.

Jiangdong was where Ye Fan was based, and he had been quietly operating within Jiangdong for ten years.

He had won the battle at Mount Tai, held the Feast of the Sea and the Sky, won the fight with Mochizuki Kawa at Dongchang Lake, trampled victoriously on the powerful Lu and Xur families, and struck fear and terror far and wide within the region.

The prestige of Ye Fan had seeped into the very pores of all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong over all these years.

Sometimes he didn't even need to show himself. The name 'Mr Chu' was enough to shake up Jiangdong.

So while it seemed like a mighty task for Qiu Mu-Cheng to govern Jiangdong, the number of obstacles she faced were actually very few and far between.

But what about Yanjing?

This region was way too unfamiliar to Ye Fan.

He had come here no more than five times, and his roots were too shallow here.

Even though he had the support and resources of the Xue and Xu families, and Xu Lei had been helping to manage this side of things, all of them knew that Yanjing only looked peaceful on the surface. There were many unseen undercurrents happening at the same time.

Even if Wei Luo did not appear today, another ambitious person would eventually come to challenge Xu Lei's position and authority.

So Ye Fan needed to defeat someone soundly in order to concretize his legacy in Yanjing.

This opponent had to be someone that was powerful enough to prove Ye Fan's might.

The Wei family of Zhonghai was definitely a suitable candidate.

But of course, Xu Lei had no idea that Ye Fan had all these considerations in mind.

Time continued to pass slowly. Ye Fan remained silent and just sat in his chair confidently.

Meanwhile, Wei Luo made several impatient phone calls to his men.

Very soon, he finished a phone call and smiled threateningly at Ye Fan. "Punk, let me share a piece of good news with you.

The head of the Xue family, Xue Ren-Yang, has agreed to work with the Wei family. Everything you relied on to rule Yanjing is now gone. Once my men return from the Xue family, prepare to die!”

Wei Luo had clearly planned for today quite a while ago.

His first move was to team up with the Xu family to topple Xu Lei from her position, then send out his most trusted men to threaten and tempt those who were loyal to Ye Fan like Xue Ren-Yang.

Without these subordinates, Ye Fan would be all alone and would no longer have any standing in Yanjing.

"Is that so? In that case, let's wait and see," chuckled Ye Fan. He didn't seem bothered that the Xue family had betrayed him.

Ye Fan's reaction infuriated Wei Luo.

"Punk, you're still acting cool when you're about to die? I'll see if you can still put a smile on when you're on the brink of death later!" Wei Luo was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could slay Ye Fan right there and then.

But the large majority of the martial artists he had brought along had been part of the team that went to visit the Xue family.

The Xu family had only one Xu Lei to deal with, and he didn't have to be afraid of one weak woman. On the contrary, he was a lot more wary of the Xue family, and so he sent his best there.

If the Xue family did not agree at the discussion table, then his plan was to use force to beat the Xue family into compliance.

But now, it seemed like everything was moving according to Wei Luo's plans.

The only thing that went wrong was Ye Fan's sudden appearance.

But thankfully, the situation was still within his control.

Once his men returned, he was sure that Ye Fan would not be a problem.
