The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1727

Chu Zhengliang cackled triumphantly at the cusp of his son's success.

“I will work hard to attain mastery, Dad. And when I do, I will tear the bastard apart with my bare hands!”

At the mere mention of his name, Chu Qitian gritted his teeth in anger. His tone was so menacing that it sounded as if he meant to carry out his threat literally.

Chu Qitian's hatred for Ye Fan had reached another level at the conclusion of their last battle for having almost died by the latter's foot.

That bastard had stomped me into the ground. They had to dig me out in front of all the world's martial arts representatives. The shame is too much to bear!

Ye Fan's stomp had shattered more than Chu Qitian's bones. The arrogance the latter had developed over the years was similarly crushed.

Though Chu Qitian had somehow managed to survive the ordeal with the help of the Chu family elders, his character was no longer the same.

Overthe past month, Chu Qitian had shut himself in his room and refused to speak to anybody.

Chu Zhengliang was more aware than anybody with what his son was going through.

He knew that Ye Fan was the one responsible for breaking his son's spirit.

Upon regaining consciousness the night of his neardeath, Chu Qitian wept in his father's arms as he repeatedly asked the latter how it was possible that Ye Fan's accomplishments so much higherthan his own despite the nobility of his blood over his cousin's.

“Am I destined to be his inferior, Dad?” he had asked tearfully from his bed that night, hardly able to even sit up.

Chu Zhengliang felt his heart ache with sorrow at his son's anguish.

He was such a charismatic and strong-willed boy. Seeing him like this, a sniveling shadow of his former self, is more than I can bear.

It was on that same night when Chu Zhengliang made a grim promise to himself to restore his son's

confidence.

Even if I have to burn the world down, I will ensure that Qitian's future is intact!

“My son will never be anybody's inferior!” he had replied fiercely.

After Chu Zhengliang departed his son's chambers that night, he began to put his plan against Angie into action.

Having recalled his own father, Chu Yuan, mention once before the power that the daughter of the Jones family possessed, of Jade Eyes which contained within them a terrifying power should one succeed in tapping into its potential, Chu Zhengliang decided that it was as good a time as any.

However, Chu Zhengliang was not explicitly informed of that information. Instead, he had heard it told to his brother with him hanging on to every word from the shadows.

Chu Shen had been desperate for a powerful heir through his abler son, Chu Zhenghong. Having heard of the power of the girl's eyes, he made it a priority for Angie to become a granddaughter-in-law to have her eyes weaponized.

That piece of information had made an impression on Chu Zhengliang. Taking the advantage of the subsequent conflict between his father and brother, he had taken the initiative to solidify an alliance with the Jones' via a marriage proposal.

After Chu Zhenghong was instated as the new patriarch, he disregarded all conventions by paying visits to Angie often in an attempt to pair her with his own son over his brother's protests.

Despite his careful planning to save her for Ye Fan, Chu Zhenghong's son had gone ahead to become the son-in-law of another family instead.

He had been livid upon finding out. It did not take long after that for everything to come out in the open.
