The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2165

Ye Fan stood alone atop the breezy peak of Mount Chumen.

He scrutinized the hundreds, nay, even thousands of people who carried their belongings and trekked down the mountain.

Alas, the person he missed dearly was nowhere to be seen in the crowd. He asked, “Was there no trace of Tang Yun at all?”

The old man who stood before him bowed slightly and reported, “Young Master, Ms. Tang's sister might have brought her away.”

The old man was none other than Han.

While Ye Fan was away, Han had been staying in the shadows for years until the former returned.

Han had played a significant role in Ye Fan's successful revenge and so naturally he would be present on such a momentous occasion.

Ye Fan's heart churned with mixed emotions. Finally, he smiled bitterly and uttered, “I, Chu Tianfan, conquered this land but still lost her in the end.”

He sighed inwardly, his heart filled with sorrow.

Ye Fan knew that by destroying her sect, it would take a Herculean feat to convince Tang Yun to forgive him.

Perhaps she'll never want to see me again.

Sensing his crestfallen mood, Han advised, “Power and love rarely come hand-in-hand. But remember that nothing is impossible, Young Master. Who's to say what will happen in the future? As long as you show her your sincerity, I believe your efforts will move Ms. Tang even if her heart is made of stone. You will surely win her over, Young Master.”

“I hope so.” Ye Fan shook his head and smiled wryly.

He could hear the consolation in Han's words.

Even if he had plans to make things up to Tang Yun, he was utterly clueless about her whereabouts. There was a good chance he would never see her again.

Suddenly, Han knelt on the floor and said, “Young Master, your revenge is complete, and with it, I've fulfilled my greatest wish. I hope you will allow this old chap to return to his roots. I'm old and frail, and if I stay by your side, I fear I will only be a burden to you, Young Master. It's high time I pass this role on to someone else.”

He wished to relinquish his rank and retreat into seclusion on account of old age.

Still, Ye Fan had no plans to dismiss Han.

He replied, “Han, without your management over the years, the members of Dragon God Hall would've left long ago. I may be the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall, but I am no more than an ordinary man. My absence would hardly affect the hall, but without you, it would crumble in an instant. That's why you can't leave yet. You are the only choice as Dragon God Hall's butler.”

“But, Young Master, my body is not what it used to be.” Han worried that his age and health would interfere with the smooth running of Dragon God Hall.

Undeterred, Ye Fan replied imploringly, “I've notified Junie to oversee your recovery. She'll be here in a few days. This place needs you, Han.”

Han's heart was warmed by his words.

He had expected to be dismissed once he was no longer of value to Ye Fan, yet the young man had no reservations about rewarding his loyal supporters.

After convincing Han to stay, Ye Fan declared, “Right, I want you to lead some men to take over Chu Sect's remaining properties and assets. I've got to investigate some other things myself.”

Ye Fan left for the Jones residence soon after.

When he arrived, he headed straight to the underground cells of the Jones residence. In it held several battered, bloodied men.

Michael greeted him and explained, “Master, these are Chu Yuan's most trusted subordinates. I've brought them all here!”

“On your knees!” Michael bellowed, kicking the captured men across the back of their knees.

The three captives immediately knelt on the ground under Ye Fan's close watch.

“What was Chu Yuan's reason for launching an attack to take over the martial arts world? And I heard that the sect had been kidnapping talented martial artists from different countries. Why did you do that?” Ye Fan interrogated them.

Chu Yuan's subordinates kept their mouths stubbornly shut.

They shot Ye Fan glares bursting with hatred.

Michael slapped the men hard enough to give them split lips. “Answer him!”

The captives launched into a slew of spiteful tirades.

“What makes you think you have the right to interrogate us?”
