The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1787

As he spoke, Li Er cast a surreptitious gaze toward another beautiful woman clad in a kimono not too far away.

In stark contrast with Xu Lei's maturity, this younger woman exuded the levity of youth.

When she first arrived, Li Er and the others who had arrived earlier wondered if she had stumbled upon their gathering by accident.

It was only after a series of close questioning that they had learned that the young woman was Chiike Shizuka, the chairwoman of Sango Corporation which was the largest financial conglomerate in Japan.

“I have to hand it to Mr. Chu,” Li Er lamented as he gazed at the two beautiful women with nothing but respect and admiration for Ye Fan. “He has Ms. Qiu governing Jiangdong in his stead and placed Ms. Xu in charge ofYanjing. Not content with restricting his dealings within the domestic market, he has this lovely young lady keeping his business in Japan running! What is Mr. Chu still fighting for? He should just relax and let his ladies run everything for him. All he has to do is to keep them satisfied.”

He is what every man should aspire themselves to be.

Aside from Li Er, Chen Ao and Lei San felt the same way.

Before, Chen Ao and the others had thought that Ye Fan's influence was only contained within Jiangdong and Yanjing.

It soon became apparent to them that they could not be more wrong.

The net of Ye Fan's influence had already been cast all over the world years before his operations took off, as evidenced by the diversity standing by Lake Elterton that night.

The people gathered there did not only come from China and Japan. There were even nationalities from Smealand and Epea.

“After following him for so long, I had thought that I knew everything about him. It appears that what we do know about him is only the tip of the iceberg.”

Chen Ao heaved a great sigh.

I betrayed Ye Fan years ago to save myself, being worried that he would fall to the aristocrats of Yanjing.

It is only after witnessing the sheer number of his followers tonight that I finally learned how shortsighted I was being back then.

It was only then that he finally learned the true extent of what the son-in-law of the Qiu family was capable of.

As the group waited in silence, the wintry gale bit a little more sharply.

At last, the figures of a man and a woman emerged out of the darkness at midnight.

“Mr. Chu! Is that you?”

“Why is there two of them?”

Li Er and the others frowned as they squinted into the darkness. Their subordinates readied their rifles in preparation for a defense.

“Halt!” Long Baichuan called out warily. “State your name and business here at this time of night!”

Being a seasoned fighter, he was particularly receptive to the aura of other fighters.

Back then, Ye Fan's presence bristled with energy so tangible that one would recognize him even with their back turned.

However, the figure standing before him at Lake Literton emitted no such presence.

It feels like a civilian. Maybe he had wandered In here by accident.

Long Baichuan's query went unanswered.

“State your business,” he repeated, “or we'll be forced to act in self-defense.”

Li Er and the others became nervous. Long Baichuan's fingers closed around the hilt of his sword.

Just when the crowd was about to lunge at the figures before them, a faint ripple of laughter reached their ears.

“Have I become that unrecognizable over the course of a couple of days?'

That laugh! I've heard it before!
