The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2242

Mo Wuya retorted, "Why do you harbor such hatred for your young age? Do you intend to follow in the footsteps of Chu Tianfan by becoming public enemy number one through brutality?

His words jolted Zhao Zhenlu, who subsequently softened his tone.

"Prince of Fighters, h-how could you say that? There's no way you can compare me to Chu Tianfan because, unlike him, I'm carrying out a mission. Please don't make such insinuations about me," Zhao Zhenlu refuted.

Laughing out loud, Prince of Fighters patted Zhao Zhenlu on the shoulder.

"Relax, Mr. Zhao. I was just kidding. Besides, I'm stopping you from killing indiscriminately for your own good. Just think about it. The Li and Chen families have established themselves in Jiangdong for generations and are well-loved here. Now that they have withdrawn from Jiangdong and aren't vying for power against you, how would the residents of Jiangdong see you if you show no mercy against the two families? They would think that you're a cold-blooded murderer who's no different from Chu Tianfan. When that happens, you'll lose the will of the people. Without it, it will be difficult for the Zhao family to rule Jiangdong," Mo Wuya advised solemnly.

Zhao Zhenlu fell into deep thought before nodding in agreement.

"I expect no less from the Prince of Fighters! You've so much more foresight than I do. Thank you for the insight you have given me. Once the Zhao family has established itself in Jiangdong, I will send you thirty percent of its annual revenue as tribute," Zhao Zhenlu declared gratefully.

A silent smile was all Mo Wuya responded with.

"All right now, you should get back to work. I'm going to take a stroll outside."

Mo Wuya dismissed Zhao Zhenlu with a wave of his hand before leaving the room to walk down aimlessly along the street in Yunzhou.

Staring at the shadows thrown onto the sidewalk and the glistening reflections on the surface of Yunwu Lake, Mo Wuya lamented, "Alas, no one can turn back time. Chu Tianfan, oh Chu Tianfan, you have been relegated to the annals of history in the end. Consider this as my way of paying respect to a long-time rival."

With that, the matter of Jiangdong came to an end.

Nevertheless, the wheels of the martial arts world continued spinning endlessly.

After Ye Fan's death, training for Dragon Gate Project greatly intensified.

Soon, it was time for the third batch of candidates to join the project.

Chen Jiuzhou found War God and ordered them to get ready to enter Dragon Gate the next day.

Initially, they were meant to be the second batch, but Ye Qingtian declined to do it on Ye Fan's account.

Subsequently, he found more excuses to delay it until now.

"Jiuzhou, since the slots for Dragon Gate training are extremely valuable, I feel that we should prioritize the younger generation. After all, old fogeys like us have limited potential left. We can fill in the remaining slots once you have gotten everyone else in."

Ye Qingtian tried to delay the matter again.

"That's not necessary. We have plenty of slots available. You don't have to give them up. I have informed Sword Saint and King of Fighters about it. The three of you will enter Dragon Gate tomorrow and that's an order. I won't allow room for any disobedience!"

Chen Jiuzhou's attitude to the older elite warriors was unmistakably harsh.

Upon hearing Ye Qingtian's tone, he used the full authority of Hall Master to arm-twist them into entering Dragon Gate.

He then turned and left, leaving Ye Qingtian no chance to refuse.

The furrow on the latter's brows consequently deepened.
