Chapter 1531 "Let me go..." The thug named Jabre still wanted to struggle, but when Fade slightly exerted force on his right hand and began to strangle his throat, his face suddenly changed. He squeezed a few words out of his throat in panic, "I'll answer, I'll answer your question. "Speak!" Fade said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you come here to cause trouble?" Jabre said, "We are from the Trigger Gang" "Trigger Gang?" Fade was not familiar with this name, thus he looked at Hailey and Heinz. Hailey immediately explained, "The Trigger Gang is a small gang around here. They have dozens of people under their control, and they only do things like collecting protection fees." Hearing that the Trigger Gang was just a small gang who collected protection fees, Fade could not help but frown. He stared at Jabre and said in a cold voice, Why did you come here to cause trouble? Did someone order you?" " Jabre nodded quickly and said, "That's right. Yesterday, someone came to us and said that as long as we can surround the Forest Bar, we will be paid 50,000 yuan if we can delay for at least an hour. We don't even have to fight." For a small gang like the Trigger Gang, 50,000 yuan was definitely not a small sum of money. Moreover, it was just to surround a bar, and there was no need to fight. It was such easy money that the Trigger Gang could not refuse, thus they immediately took the deal. "Who came to you?" Fade asked. Jabre shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's a stranger. I've never seen him before." "Really?" Fade stared at him and asked sternly. Jabre said firmly. "It's true. I dare not lie to your face. Otherwise, I swear I'll be struck by lightning... Hearing this, Fade believed his words. If this was true, it seemed that the other party's intention was not to target the Forest Bar, nor target Heinz and Hailey. Instead, it was to stall time for at least an hour. "Stall for time, could it be that the other party has something to execute?" Fade thought. Suddenly, his heart shook violently, and he suddenly understood. "I'm being distracted!" Thinking of this, Fade was shocked, and he quickly thought of many things. If the other party wanted to distract him, it must have been something to do with those people who were close to him. But now, the people around him, Hailey, Heinz and Clara, were all at the bar. Moore's power was at the peak of the Earth Level, thus there was no need for him to worry about it. As for Yulia, Moore was also by her side. Thinking of this, there was only one person left, Joey. Fade couldn't help but worry. He quickly took out his cell phone and dialed Joey's phone number. At the same time, he kept muttering, "Although Joey's cultivation is not bad, if she meets a real master of martial arts, she doesn't stand a chance to resist." After a long series of beeps, no one answered the phone. Immediately, Fade's heart sank, and he immediately dialed Moore's number. "Master Chen, how's your situation over there?" Moore replied, "I've already arrived at the hospital. The situation isn't too bad. Those troublemakers are just surrounding the hospital from the outside and trying to threaten Yulia verbally. However, they didn't attack us." Upon hearing this, Fade felt a sense of familiarity. He glanced at the Trigger Gang beside him and continued to say, "Master Chen, grab hold of one of them and ask him if someone had given them money yesterday to cause trouble. *Causing trouble for money, about this... Moore faintly felt something and said, "Fade, wait for a while. Soon, there was a response from Moore, "I've caught someone and asked him, it's true. They are just a small local gang with a few dozen people. Yesterday, they received 50,000 yuan to besiege Yulia in the hospital. Fade, how do you know about this?" After listening to this, Fade's face became serious. He said in a low voice, "It's because the situation here is the same, Master Chen. Someone is deliberately distracting us from something." "What, they are trying to divert our attention!" Moore was shocked. He immediately thought of something and exclaimed, "Joey is at the hotel. Is she all right?" Fade suppressed the worry in his heart and tried to say in a calm tone, "I just called Joey but no one answered. I'll go back to the hotel now. "What!" Moore was shocked and he immediately said, "I'll go back as well." Fade said calmly. "Master Chen, don't worry. Calm down. I'm afraid that it might be another distraction again, and we might fall into their trap again." "But... Moore was still very worried. Fade analyzed, "Master Chen, we just arrived in Southzobe City not long ago. We don't know much people and we didn't offend any of them. For now, we've only offended Xu family because of Choo family, as well as Maldrick due to the incident of Dr. Qin." "These are the two possibilities. If it is the Xu family, they won't be using a violent approach since they are a famous family, or at least they wouldn't do it themselves." "If it is Maldrick, he might resort to violence. Since Maldrick is also at the Earth Level, his strength should not be underestimated. If this is the case, Dr. Qin will require your protection, Master Chen." Fade's analysis was on the point. Moore agreed in his heart, but he was still worried about Joey. "But, Joey... Fade said firmly, "Master Chen, don't worry. I am Joey's senior, and also her brother. I will not let her get hurt, and I will definitely bring her back." After a short period of silence, Moore said, "I believe in you. You can definitely protect Joey" "I will!" Fade said firmly, and then said, "Master Chen, if it's convenient for you, can you bring Dr. Qin to the Forest Bar as well? I'm afraid that those people would attack Clara and the others." "Okay, I'll bring some men over right away, Moore replied and hung up the phone. After that, Fade looked at Clara and others as he said, "Something urgent came up. I have to go now. Call the police and wait for the arrival of the police first. Then, stay in the Forest Bar and don't go out. Master Chen will bring Dr. Qin here later. At that time, you must follow his arrangements. Do you understand?" "Yes!" Although they had all sorts of questions in their hearts, Clara, Halley and the others could tell that Fade was very anxious. They didn't pursue the matter any further, but only nodded their heads firmly and agreed to Fade's request. Then, Fade walked out of the Forest Bar and used his positive energy to create an invisible Qi shield at the entrance of the bar. Then, he moved quickly and rushed back to the hotel.
Chapter 1532 Back at the hotel, Fade rushed into the room. It was a mess inside. The chairs were overturned, the curtains and the sheets were ripped. The thick carpet on the ground was stained with a few drops of bright red blood. Seeing this, Fade frowned. In his chest, there was a surge of anger. "No matter who did it, you'd better hope that nothing happened to Joey. Otherwise, I will definitely make you regret it." As his voice fell, Fade closed his eyes, held his breath, and concentrated. A majestic aura of positive energy began to spread around with him from the center. In his world, the spreading positive energy was like a radar, scanning Fade's familiar energy. Suddenly, in the northeast direction of the hotel, Fade felt a familiar energy. It was the energy he left on Joey's body as a mark. It was very special that outsiders could never fake it. Confirming the direction, Fade directly jumped out of the hotel, which was almost 20-storeys high, and chased towards the direction of where the positive energy left. Meanwhile in an abandoned steel factory in the suburb of the northeast of Southzobe City, Maldrick was sitting boldly on a sofa. Holding his mobile phone, he asked, "How's it going? Have you caught her?" At the other end of the line, there was the sound of a car rumbling. He said, "Mr. Kou, your plan worked. We managed to divert Fade and Moore's attention, and we easily kidnapped the girl from the hotel." Very well, then bring her over right now. Be careful, I don't want to see any accidents happen, Maldrick ordered. "Boss, don't worry. We are very familiar with this kind of thing. How can any accidents happen? Besides, those guys might still be confronting those gangsters at the bar and hospital. By the time they realize it, they won't be able to find our traces, the subordinate said indifferently. "You must let Fade find the trail to us. Our real goal is to lure him over," said Maldrick with a smile. "Mr. Kou, don't worry. It's easy. When we arrive, just give him a call and show him a video of the girl. That guy will definitely come," the subordinate said, and then turned his head to look at Joey, who was tied up in the back seat. His eyes could not help but light up. "Mr. Kou, I have to say that this little girl looks really good. She's so pretty, I'm a little excited." Upon hearing this, Maldrick's tone became serious as he said, "Hey, let me tell you, this matter is personally ordered by Mr. Xu. Don't mess around and cause any trouble." "Once we've settled that brat, you can do whatever you want. But now, focus on the important matter first. Don't be reckless. Do you understand?" Hearing this, the subordinate licked his lips regretfully and said, "Mr. Kou, don't worry. I understand the importance of this matter. It won't go wrong" "That's good. Bring her here as soon as possible, and then contact that brat named Fade," Maldrick ordered and hung up the phone. As soon as he hung up the call with his subordinate, he immediately dialed another number and said in a respectful tone, "Secretary Liu, it's Maldrick." "Yes, we've caught the girl and she's on the way here. When she arrives, we'll begin the plan immediately. "Okay, okay, I'll do it well. I won't let Mr. Xu down." Finally, Maldrick hung up the phone. With excitement in his eyes, he whispered to himself, "This time, I've built a good relationship with the Xu family. Soon, I'll have a brighter future in Southzobe City or even in the whole of Zobery District.." "Semi-master Windley, and that young martial arts master Fade, I'll step on their corpses on my way up." In the Xu family house, Eugene Liu immediately reported the matter after the call was over. Immediately, Felix, Adele, Salman and Vera stood up and said with hatred on their faces, "Good, very good. Finally, we are going to catch that guy. Let's go." Pascha, who was seating on the old-fashioned wooden armchair, said, "Handle this matter carefully. Our Xu family cannot be bullied by others. Also, don't leave any evidence behind, understand?" "Dad, don't worry. I will do it well, Felix said. "Alright then, go ahead!" Pascha waved his hand. The two couples were about to go out, but meanwhile, two wheelchairs were being pushed out. Mandell and Keith were sitting in the wheelchairs. As soon as they came out, they said. "We also want to go. Seeing this, the two couples froze for a moment and began to persuade them. "Mandell, you are still injured, it's not convenient for you to go out. You'd better stay at home to recuperate. "Keith, there may be a fight and it will be dangerous. You'd better stay at home." Keith gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, Mom, I want to go with you. With you and Maldrick, there won't be any danger. Furthermore, Fade broke my leg, thus I must take revenge." Mandell's face was full of resentment. He gnashed his teeth and said, "All my suffering is caused by Fade. If I can't see him kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, I won't be able to swallow my anger and I won't have the drive to live on." Mandell, don't talk nonsense. You... However, Mandell's expression was firm as he said, "If you don't let me go, then I won't stay alive anymore. I'm already a useless person, there's no point for me to live on." "Mandell, don't be rash... At this time, Pascha waved his hand and said, "Let Mandell and Keith go. If they don't untie this knot in their hearts, they will never be able to vent their anger. "But, Dad, it's too dangerous. "That's right. Fade is a Martial Arts Master. If any accident happens, I'm afraid..." Pascha snorted coldly and said, "Our plan is well-prepared, there's no such thing as an accident. Besides, who cares if he is a Martial Arts Master? Our Xu family is half of the government power of Southzobe City. We represent the government. Even if Fade is powerful, does he dare to provoke us?" Since Pascha had his opinion, Felix and Vera couldn't say anything else. They then took Keith and Mandell to the abandoned steel factory in the suburbs. There were a total of six people from two families. Half an hour later, Joey was brought to Maldrick's room in the abandoned steel factory, and the black cloth covering her eyes was removed. Joey felt that the light was a little glaring, and it took her a few seconds to adapt to it. Then, she squinted at the surroundings. "This should be an abandoned factory. Judging from his energy, the strength of this burly man opposite of me should at least be above the middle-stage of the Earth Level. It is very likely that he is Maldrick. They kidnapped me instead of killing me immediately. Hence, they might be planning to deal with my brother or my father. After all, Joey was a martial artist. She was very calm and did not scream like any ordinary little girl would.
Chapter 1533 On the other side, Maldrick noticed Joey's calm expression and was a little surprised. He immediately smiled and said, "You can still remain calm after seeing me. This is something I didn't expect!" Joey looked at Maldrick and said in a low voice, "You must be Maldrick! Did you kidnap me to avenge my brother and my father due to Dr. Qin?" "If that's the case, I can tell you that you won't succeed." Joey said firmly. The corners of Maldrick's lips twitched as he said with a smile, " succeed? How did you come to this conclusion?" Why I won't Joey said confidently. "Because my brother will definitely come to rescue me, That's why." "Really?" Maldrick was a little surprised and then said with a smile, "It seems that you trust Fade quite a lot!" "Since you are waiting for him to rescue you, I'm really looking forward to seeing your face when I step on him and torture him," said Maldrick with a smile. "Your target is my brother!" Joey was shocked, but then she shook her head and said, "You can never beat my brother. Therefore, I won't be able to witness what you've just said." "How are you still so confident? It seems that Fade is very likely a Martial Arts Master Maldrick smiled and waved his hand. "A Martial Arts Master is indeed powerful. He is two levels higher than me." "However, the fight of life and death is not as simple as competing between the level of martial arts. Sometimes, the higher the level does not mean that you will have the final victory. Moreover, I have these things." Along with Maldrick's words, a group of his men came out with all kinds of modern weapons in their hands. They were all equipment made in Micovia, including pistols, automatic rifles, grenades, and even sniper rifles. They were well-equipped. Seeing these modern weapons, Joey's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. "Are you scared now?" Maldrick saw her expression and said with a smile. Joey pursed her lips and said firmly, "These things are not worth mentioning against my brother." "You are still boasting. Just you wait and see!" said Maldrick with a loud laugh. At this moment, a subordinate came in and reported. "Mr. Kou, the Xu family members are here." "Come on, quick, let's welcome them." Maldrick immediately led his men out. When Joey heard this, her gaze couldn't help but contract and her heart trembled fiercely. The Xu family is also involved in this matter. Fade won't really be in danger, will he?" Just as Joey was worrying, the six people of the Xu family came in and immediately saw Joey, who was tied to the other side of the sofa. "Who is she?" Felix asked. Keith recognized Joey and immediately said, "Her name is Joey, and she is Fade's sister. She is also one of them who participated in the fight against me." Hearing this, Felix, Vera and the rest of them looked at Joey coldly. Vera came forward and slapped Joey's face. Her face was full of hatred. "B*tch, you caused my son's leg to be broken. I must make you pay the price. On the other side, Mandell stared at Joey with a gloomy face. He gritted his teeth and said, "She is Fade's sister, thus she must also take responsibility for what Fade has done to me. Now that Fade hasn't come yet, let's start with her." Mr. Mandell, we need to keep her alive to lure Fade over. That's why..." Maldrick said. Mandell replied icily. "Then, it's fine as long as she doesn't die. I know what I'm doing." After that, Mandell's gaze fell on Joey. He looked up and down at Joey's graceful figure. With a look of lust and anger in his eyes, he said, "First of all, take off her clothes. Since Fade dared to disable me, I want his sister to become a sit for me." Hearing this, Joey's gaze could not help but sink. She said hurriedly. "If you dare to touch me, I will kill myself immediately. You won't be able to achieve your goal then." Maldrick added, "Mr. Mandell, Fade is our priority. Why don't we wait a little longer and capture Fade first? At that time, we'll be able to torture her in any way we want. Now, we'd better wait for a while so that there won't be any other complications. Mandell thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay. Later, I want Fade to witness as we toy with his sister." "By then, you can do whatever you want, Mr. Mandell!" Maldrick said and changed the topic, "Mr. Mandell, let me explain our plan to you. This time, we've deployed 80% of our people. Among them, there are five people above the Earth Level and 26 people above the Black Level. In other aspects, we have fifteen gunmen equipped with Micovia's firearms." "At that time, our negotiations will be arranged here. My subordinates will be hiding on both sides, ready to strike at any time. The gunmen will be observing from a higher vantage point, and this spot will be completely covered by their firepower. Also... The attention of the Xu family was diverted as they listened to Maldrick's arrangement. Joey's mind quickly turned. Now it seemed that the kidnapping was completely caused by the collusion of the Xu family and Maldrick. The purpose was to deal with Fade. Although she was very confident in Fade's strength, Joey couldn't help but worry when she found that they had so many martial artists and gunmen. Moreover, at that time, she would definitely be a bargaining chip in their hands to threaten Fade. Thinking of this, Joey made a decision in her heart. She thought to herself, "If the situation becomes critical, I won't burden Fade any longer. "At that time, even if I have to risk being heavily injured or even dying. I will still use my energy. I don't have time to worry that much anymore." Just as Joey made up her mind, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the factory. Indistinctly, Joey heard someone reporting, "Mr. Kou, someone is coming towards our direction." "Who's that?" It was Maldrick's voice. "It's Fade. It's him!" His man said. What? It's Fade!" Mr. Kou was obviously surprised and said with a frown, "We " haven't called him yet. How did he come so soon?" Mandell, on the other hand, spoke in a tone full of hatred, "Who cares if he came early? That's not important. Since he's here, let's just act according to plan. I want to get my revenge. I want to make him pay for what he has done to me by a hundred thousand folds." Although Maldrick felt that there was something wrong, Maldrick had to accept the fact since Mandell had already decided and because Fade was already here. Therefore, he immediately ordered, "Everyone, act according to the plan. Prepare for battle."
Chapter 1534 In the abandoned factory, Maldrick's troops began to execute their plan. They were fully armed and prepared for the battle that was about to befall on them. In their eyes, Fade alone was no match for them. It couldn't even be considered as a battle. However, Mr. Kou required them to be serious and use all of their strength to fight against the enemy. Therefore, they could only take it serious and wait for the enemy. At this moment, Fade came to the front of the abandoned steel factory. Looking around, Fade had to admit that it must have taken a lot of effort for Maldrick to choose this place. At this open space of more than a thousand square meters, this was the only building. Moreover, there was no weeds growing on the empty space around the factory. Those weeds and all kinds of scraps had been cleaned up. Therefore, the outside of the abandoned factory looked very spacious as there was no shade at all. In the factory, they could see the situation outside at a glance. It was almost impossible for them to sneak in secretly. Fade, who had planned to sneak into the factory and rescue Joey secretly, immediately gave up the idea in his mind when he saw the terrain around the factory. Later, when his keen eyes caught sight of some figures who had appeared at the front of the factory gate, he immediately knew that he had been discovered. In an instant, Fade made a decision. "Since I have been discovered, there is nothing to think about. I'll charge in directly. After making the decision, Fade immediately took his action. Without any concealment, he stomped on the ground with his feet and rushed into the factory quickly with an afterimage. In the factory, the guard who had just gotten ready at the door was shocked when he saw Fade rushing towards him. Mr. Kou, he's charging towards us from the front. He's very fast," the subordinate reported the situation. Mr. Kou, do we shoot him now? We can shoot him directly with machine guns since there are no covers in front of the factory. He's bound to die." One of the men with guns was already a little impatient at the moment. As he thought that Fade might be a Martial Arts Master, Maldrick was still a little vigilant. He was about to agree with the suggestion of shooting him down with the machine gun. But Mandell, whose face was full of hatred, said, "Don't shoot him. It's too merciful to just shoot him dead. I want to catch him and torture him slowly. I'll make him pay back by a thousand folds for what he has done to me." Maldrick had been through bloody battles in the underworld. When faced with life and death matters, he had always fought with all his strength, and didn't allow any accidents to happen. But now, Mandell had requested it to be done this way. He knew that he couldn't change Mandell's mind, thus he could only change his plan. He told his men, 'Tell the gunmen to hold their fire first. Let the martial artists attack him together and try to catch Fade alive." "Yes!" Upon hearing Maldrick's order, the gunmen felt a little regretful, while the martial artists were excited and eager to give it a try. As they knew that this matter was ordered by the Xu family, if they made a contribution to capture Fade, not only would they gain merit from Mr. Kou, but also from the Xu family. That would be a great reward. Therefore, the martial artists guarding the door looked at each other with excitement. Letting their positive energy and the strength of the Black Level in their bodies burst out, they moved together and rushed towards Fade. The eight martial artists in the Middle Stage of the Black Level had worked together for many years, all of them had a tacit understanding. Their cooperation by blocking all the routes would not give the enemy any chance to escape. They were confident that with the eight of them, they would surely defeat Fade. But soon, the confidence and excitement that had just emerged from their hearts vanished as soon as they sensed the positive energy from Fade. This was because the positive energy emanating from Fade's body was vast and majestic. It was as if an invisible power had descended from the heavens, causing them to feel a sense of fear. Looking at Fade, they felt as if they were standing at the bottom of a huge waterfall, looking up at the huge pillar of water falling from dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters high. The pressure from the roaring waterfall falling from the sky made them feel extremely astonished. It was a kind of momentum that came from heaven and earth, and it was irresistible. "Retreat... The eldest of the eight cried out in a frenzied voice. Just as his voice came out of his throat, Fade appeared in front of him like a ghost. Then, the panic-stricken man felt a chill on his neck. Immediately, he felt that he was flying, and the scene in his eyes was constantly rising and rotating. While he was spinning, he seemed to be able to see his own body. However, the head of that familiar body could no longer be seen, Blood gushed out from his neck and then he fell heavily to the ground. "I'm...dead!" This was the final thought in the heart of the eldest of the eight. Then, his eyes were filled with shock, and he lost all consciousness. The whole world turned dark. The other seven also faced the same end as their boss. With a scream of surprise, they were killed by Fade one by one. Maldrick was deploying his men in the factory, and everyone was equipped with a pair of communication devices, which were operating from the beginning to the end. Therefore, the voices of the eight people at the door and the screams of death had clearly transmitted to Maldrick's side through the electric signals. Hearing the screams of his men, Maldrick's eyes couldn't help but sink. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Fade, how dare you..." The whole Xu family, whose face was full of hatred, heard the screams from the intercom. They were also shocked and showed a terrified look on their faces. "This, how could this be... "Are they all dead?" Immediately, Felix looked at Maldrick and asked, "Mr. Kou, this... Maldrick knew the strength of that eight men, but they were killed by Fade in an instant, which showed how powerful Fade's strength was. Thus, in his mind, ck's vigilance against Fade increased a little more. However, Maldrick would never admit such a thing. He knew that the Xu family would never allow him to fail since they had handed this matter over to him. Therefore, Maldrick, with a confident smile on his face, said to Felix, "Director Xu, don't worry. The guards at the door are just a few ordinary men. Our real martial artists haven't taken action yet. Moreover, Fade won't escape from the guns you provided. Felix's expression softened a little upon hearing Maldrick's words. He nodded and said, "Then, Mr. Kou, take your action as soon as possible and arrest Fade. Don't let any accidents happen."
Chapter 1535 "Yes, Director Xu, I will immediately mobilize the martial artists and catch Fade alive." Maldrick nodded, then picked up the intercom and began to give orders. Following Maldrick's orders, dozens of figures in the abandoned steel factory began to make their move. Each and every one of them was fast and well-coordinated. They quickly rushed towards Fade. Of course, Fade was aware of the enemies who were rushing towards him. However, he showed no fear on his face and his eyes were cold, as if he was the devil from hell. "Move, catch him!" The enemies began to move. Compared to the eight people at the door, these people's strength was stronger, and some of them were even Earth-level martial artists. However, in Fade's eyes, there was still no difference. At this moment, his eyes were ice-cold and filled with killing intent. His figure was like lightning as he quickly rushed into the enemy's crowd. His positive energy turned into a deadly sharp blade and killed all of the enemies one by one. At the moment, blood splashed all over the abandoned factory. The bright red blood dyed those old rusted steel components, as if it was an entirely different artistic painting being drawn. Through their intercom, the shrieks and blood-drenched voices once again came into Maldrick's ears. The Xu family members, who had calmed down just now, couldn't help but change their expressions again. Their eyes were flashing and their expressions were filled with fear. After all, the Xu family had always been high above the masses. Although they could decide many people's life and death, they had never faced such a bloody life and death situation in person. For a moment, Felix frowned and became a little worried. He looked at Maldrick and said, " Mr. Kou, this place is not as safe as you said. Just continue on your plan, I'll take my people and leave first." After saying that, Felix was going to leave with his son. The reason why he came here personally was to see Fade being tortured and killed to vent the hatred in his heart. However, he didn't want to take the risk of dying here. After all, Felix thought that his life was more noble than these group of people. If he died here unfortunately, it would be terrible. Upon hearing that, Maldrick's face changed. He knew from Felix's remark that he had become a little dissatisfied with him already. Just as Maldrick was trying to figure out a way to deal with this, Mandell gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to leave, I want to watch Fade shatter into a thousand pieces. If I can't watch him die, then I won't leave." Mandell, if we continue to stay here, we will be in danger. We'd better leave first. Once they are done, we'll come back later, Felix advised. However, Mandell was very determined. "I won't leave, and if I don't see that guy die in front of my eyes, I will never be able to let it go." Felix couldn't do anything about it. Maldrick then said at the right time, "Director Xu, although there's a little mishap, I'm certain I can win. After all, we haven't used our real trump cards yet." "If you are afraid of your safety, then you don't have to. This small room is guarded by Earth-level martial artists, and the room is specially processed by someone I sent. The normal armor-penetrating bullets can't even pierce through it. There is no need to worry about safety at all." "On the other hand, the battle is happening outside now. If you evacuate now, there may be danger instead. Fade might seize the opportunity to launch an attack on you. If Fade catches any one of you, Director Xu, the situation will be troublesome. After hearing what Maldrick had said, Felix pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, we'll stay here then. But from now on, you'd better stop holding back your strength and kill Fade at once. Do you understand?" "I got it!" Maldrick nodded. Then, he picked up the intercom and ordered, "Gunners, get ready. Attack the enemy and leave no survivors. "Yes, sir!" "Mr. Kou, it's finally our turn." "Kill that guy and avenge our brothers." The gunmen shouted excitedly and began to move. The sound of bullets reloading heard through the intercom made Felix's worried heart calm down. Then, they could hear the continuous sounds of gunfire in the room, even without the intercom. Amongst them, there was the sound of pistols shooting, the automatic rifles continuous firing, and the fatal blows of the sniper rifies. The continuous sounds of gunfire made the people in the room feel as if they were in a battlefield where gunshots rained down. In the steel factory, Fade had just killed the group of martial artists who had besieged him. He was looking for Joey and he suddenly heard a snap. "Gunshot!" In an instant, Fade's heart skipped a beat, and then the muscles of his legs tightened. His body bounced up quickly and dodged a scorching bullet that was targeted at his chest. Just as he dodged a bullet, a series of loud gunshots rang out in succession. "Rifle!" Hearing this, Fade's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. He jumped and hid behind a huge abandoned steel machine, and at the same time, his heart was pumping. Guns were definitely prohibited in the country. Any case involving guns would definitely attract the attention of the upper class. Therefore, generally speaking, even an underworld leader like Maldrick would not use guns at will if it wasn't a special situation. But now, not only did Maldrick use guns, hearing the gunshots, it seemed like the amount and model of Maldrick's guns had already exceeded his expectations. This wasn't a case of one or two pistols, but a case that could arm a small squad. "How dare Maldrick use so many guns? Isn't he afraid of being investigated? Also, these guns are not easy to obtain. How did he get them?" At that time, a question arose in Fade's mind. However, there was no time for him to think. The flying bullets reminded Fade that he was still on a dangerous battlefield. "The ordinary bullets of pistols will not cause any harm to me, and I can also dodge them. Even if it's an armor-piercing bullet specially made for sniper rifles, and even if I'm not lucky, I can still dodge or resist it. "But it is only in the situation where there are only one or two gunmen. Now, there are over 20 gunmen on the other side. With so many guns firing densely, I might get hurt. "Therefore, I can't fight recklessly. I need to assassinate them, Fade thought in his mind and made his decision. Then, he immediately took action.
Chapter 1536 Fade took off his jacket, injected his positive energy into it, and directly threw it to the left side. The speed of the jacket was very fast, and after the positive energy was injected into it, it was bulging like a human figure jumping over. In an instant, the gunmen's attention was attracted, and they immediately turned the muzzle and shot at the jacket. At the same time, Fade moved in the opposite direction. He was very fast, and with the help of all kinds of abandoned equipment in the factory, he jumped to the side of the two riflemen on the right side before they could even notice him. "Who... The rifleman noticed a dark shadow leaping beside him. Before he could turn around to catch a glimpse of the shadow, his neck was snapped and he fell to the ground. The other rifleman beside him had a little more time. He turned his head and saw Fade's figure. However, before he could react, there was another snap and he ended up like his buddy. After getting rid of the two riflemen, Fade moved again and began to kill them along the semicircle positions of the gunmen. For the sake of their own safety, almost all of the gunmen chose to stand behind the cover. For now, this choice provided convenience for Fade. Through cover after cover, he avoided the bullets, rushed to them, and then killed them with a single blow. More than a dozen gunmen died in his hands and the density of the shooting sound was obviously lowered. Only then did the rest of the gunmen realize that something was wrong. They turned and looked over. "Crap, we've been fooled. He's not there." "Mr. Huang is dead. Get out of the way." "He's here. Shoot him." Throughout the shouting, the panic gunmen turned their guns and shot at Fade. However, he was not afraid of ordinary bullets. In addition, they were shooting in a frenzy, thus there was no accuracy at all. It was almost impossible for them to hit him. Therefore, they could only end up like their fellow gunmen. After being closed in by Fade, they were killed by him in a single blow. In just a few minutes, all of them were all killed by him. The ammunition case fell everywhere on the scene, and the muzzle was still smoking from the shots. However, they didn't leave any wounds on Fade's body. When he was dealing with them, he learned the location of Maldrick from their last words. Right after that, he rushed to the reinforced room in the center of the factory. Meanwhile in the hut, Maldrick and the Xu family heard the deafening gunshots outside, and they were very excited. A few minutes later, when all the gunshots quietened down, the people in the room couldn't help but smile. "The gunshots have stopped. Is that guy dead?" Felix asked. "He must be dead. The number of the guns could shoot him into sieves," Vera said. Mandell gritted his teeth, "Letting him die just like that is too merciful on him." Mr. Kou, open the door. Let's go out and have a look!" Felix said. At this moment, a sense of ominous feeling crept into Maldrick's heart. Although he couldn't tell where the feeling was coming from, it lingered in his heart and made him a little frightened. Without opening the door in a hurry, he turned on the intercom that had been shut down because of the noisy gunfire and said, "Answer me, how is it going? Is Fade dead?" The response he received was a burst of silence. There was absolutely no sound. All of a sudden, Maldrick's bad feeling became stronger stronger. "Did you hear me? Answer me, how's it going?" However, there was still no response. He was really a little nervous now. He looked around him and said, "You guys go out and have a look." Two middle-aged men came to the door and were ready to go out to check the situation. They were his right-hand men, and martial artists in the Middle Stage of the Earth Level. They were the trump cards that he had deliberately left behind. When the Xu family saw Maldrick's serious expression, they also knew that things were not going well. Hence, they couldn't help showing a few traces of worry on their faces. Maldrick's right-hand men came to the door and were ready to open the heavy iron gate. All of a sudden, there was a loud boom. The incredibly heavy iron gate burst towards them. The heavy iron gate was like a huge palm, which slapped the two warriors back heavily with a roaring momentum. Seeing this, Maldrick reached out his arms and supported the back of the two martial artists, helping them resist the huge force of the iron gate. After steadying themselves, Maldrick and the other two saw a clearly protruding palm print in the middle of the iron gate, which made the expression on their faces even more serious. "Fade hasn't died!" "He is indeed a Martial Arts Master." "Get ready, let's attack him together, said Maldrick in a low voice. The Xu family's people were already shocked by the huge sound of the iron door being burst open. When they heard that Fade was not dead, they were even more frightened. "How is it possible? There were so many guns just now. How could Fade not die from it?" What's going on? You have so many men, yet you can't even kill a brat?" Maldrick, what the hell are you..." Maldrick had already felt the dangerous pressure of Fade's positive energy, and he knew that he was indeed a Martial Arts Master. Regardless of the attitude of the Xu family, Maldrick shouted loudly, "Shut up, he's coming." After being scolded by Maldrick, Felix was very unhappy and was about to speak. However, when he saw Fade's figure walking in, he suddenly felt an invisible fear enveloping him, and he felt cold all over his body. His body was stiff and he couldn't move. As Fade stepped into the small room, he immediately understood everything when he saw the Xu family. No wonder Maldrick could get so many guns and was so bold to fire them in Southzobe City. It was the Xu family who were supporting him behind his back. It seemed that the kidnapping plan was completely planned by the Xu family and Maldrick together in order to take revenge on him. Everything seemed to make sense once he saw them. This thought flashed through his mind. Fade's eyes leaped over Maldrick and landed on the tied up Joey. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Joey, I'm here. You will be fine." Her face was also full of tears at the moment. "Fade, you are here!" Then, he looked at Maldrick and said in a deep voice, "You must be Maldrick. Tell me, how do you wish to die?" Hearing this, Maldrick's eyes narrowed. He then grinned and said, "You are Fade, right? You are so young, yet you have such an arrogant tone."
Chapter 1537 "You want to kill me? It's not that simple! I, Maldrick, have been fighting in Southzobe City for more than 30 years. I've grown from a normal martial artist to what I am now. It's all because of..." He said as he gritted his teeth and glared at Fade. Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Fade snorted and gave him a hard slap. "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. If you don't do it yourself, then I'll do it!" It seemed like an ordinary palm, but when he slapped Maldrick, his palm carried a terrifying and shocking energy. Rumbling, it was like a thick wall, striking down ruthlessly on the man. With a serious look on his face, Maldrick roared and threw a punch at Fade, shouting. "You are courting death!" The rumbling fist was like a fierce tiger, roaring as it was thrown at Fade's palm. However, when the two collided, Maldrick's fierce fist instantly turned into a gentle kitten, which was directly smashed by Fade's palm and exploded in the air. The aftermath of the slap spread out with a strong shock wave, pushing Maldrick and his right-hand men away. It took him a lot of effort to steady himself by stomping his feet on the ground. However, this move caused him to change his expression as he looked at Fade. He was a martial artist in the Late Stage of the Earth Level, and he knew how powerful the strength of a martial artist in this realm was. However, in front of Fade, he couldn't even block his palm, which made his fear grow stronger. For a moment, he was reminded of a rumor saying that Fade was a Martial Arts Master who had reached the Heaven Level realm and should not be underestimated. Back then, he didn't take this rumor seriously. Even if he believed it, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. After all, it was impossible to achieve the Martial Arts Master level under the age of thirty. However, after he had fought against Fade, he was shocked immediately. He steadied himself, looked at Fade with a dignified face, and said, "Are you really a Martial Arts Master?" Fade said coldly, "It's not necessary for a dead man to know so much. While speaking, he raised his right hand, ready to launch an attack again. Upon seeing this, Maldrick narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of tension in his eyes. Then, he gave his men beside him a glance. The two of them immediately understood and gritted their teeth. The positive energy on their bodies spew out without hesitation and they charged fiercely towards Fade. At the same time, Maldrick's figure leaped and appeared behind him. He gritted his teeth and let out an explosive energy. Channeling positive energy from his entire body, he was like a ferocious black bear that had smashed toward Fade's back with an earth-shattering amount of positive energy. "Go to hell!" He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Even if you are a Martial Arts Master, so what? You are going to die under my attack. Looking at Fade's back, which was getting closer and closer to him, Maldrick's eyes showed his ferocity and pleasure of revenge. With the energy in his palm, it was so powerful that it could smash a huge stone into powder. If the slap landed on Fade's body, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured. "Sneak attack?" Fade noticed the movement behind him, thus he turned his head and looked at him calmly. When Maldrick saw this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop him!" In an instant, his two middle-stage Earth Level martial artists attacked Fade with their teeth clenched. It was as if they were ready to risk their lives. Seeing this, Fade's eyes became slightly cold and flickered. Two red lotus flames rose up in his eyes. The flames were like lightning which leaped out and fell on the two martial artists. The floating flames landed on their bodies without them sensing it. What's this... The two martial artists were puzzled. They looked at the seemingly weak flame in confusion. However, before they could finish their words, their expressions changed greatly, and they uttered extremely painful screams. When the two balls of flames came into contact with their bodies, they were like maggots attached to their bones. Instantly, the flames ignited their clothes, skin, flesh, and bones. In almost the blink of an eye, half of their arms that were touched by the flame were gone. Having such a horrifying scene in front of them, both the Xu family and Maldrick were startled, and their eyes were filled with horror. However, Maldrick had been a martial art master for many years. Although he was sad and frightened, he did not let go of his attack. The giant bear-like attack struck the center of Fade's back and he shouted, "You killed my brothers. Go to hell!" Although Fade had killed the two middle-stage Earth Level martial artists with his "Blazing Vision", he didn't seem to be able to react in time to block Maldrick's attack from behind. Thus, he had no choice but to take this attack. "Boom! Maldrick's palm hit hard on Fade's back, and the tremendous power poured in instantly as if it could smash his weak body. "Go to hell!" Maldrick shouted through his clenched teeth. A ferocious smile appeared at the corner of his lips. However, the expression on his face soon solidified and gradually turned into a kind of incredible surprise. That was because the feeling from his palm clearly told him that this palm strike was like hitting a majestic mountain. His so-called all-out strike had absolutely no effect on the huge mountain. Fade just turned around easily and looked at Maldrick without trembling at all. He said calmly, "Is this all you've got?" "You, you... Who the hell are you?" At this moment, Maldrick's heart seemed to have been smashed a few times with a heavy hammer. He was so shocked that he almost couldn't speak, and he could only look at Fade with horror in his eyes. "You don't have to know who I am. If this is the full extent of your strength, then you should just die!" Fade said faintly. He then turned around and raised his right hand, using his index and middle fingers to form a sword. He then sent out a virtual sword that stabbed Maldrick's heart. Sensing the threat of death, Maldrick's pupils contracted and his body tensed. Having a strong desire to live, he quickly reacted and moved backwards to avoid Fade's deadly blow. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the top of the house, blinking at the last moment. This was his final trump card, a sniper was positioned in a hidden spot. This sniper was not an ordinary person, but an Earth Level martial artist. With the strength of a strong martial artist and the firearm created by modern technology, he was the hidden trump card of Maldrick's.
Chapter 1538 This God of Massacre who was hidden in the dark, had always been Maldrick's trump card. He did not even reveal his existence to the Xu family. However, at this moment, at the critical moment of life and death, Maldrick had no choice but to use this trump card. The situation was so critical that his life and death would be determined in the next second. If his trump card managed to snipe Fade, the one dying would be Fade. However, if he failed, or if he was a little slower, he would definitely die in Fade's hands. This was Maldrick's last resort to fight for his life. His eyes were wide open as he gritted his teeth, waiting for his destiny to come to a decision. "Shoot, shoot him now! I'll survive. I'll definitely... He muttered in his heart. At this time, the trump card hidden above the room began to move almost as soon as he received Maldrick's signal. He slightly adjusted the muzzle of the sniper rifle, aimed at Fade's heart, then pulled the trigger to shoot him. For an Earth-level martial artist who was also a skilled sniper, this series of actions only took him less than a second. A second later, Fade, a rare young Martial Artist Master, would be killed by his gun. However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, Fade, with a cold face, suddenly spoke to Maldrick, "If you are hoping for the sniper up there to shoot me, I can tell you, you don't have to. He can't kill me!" "How do you know... This was Maldrick's first reaction after hearing Fade's words. "He noticed me... That was the voice in the sniper's mind. After the shock, Maldrick ignored everything else and shouted, "Shoot now, kill him!" The sniper pulled the trigger almost at the same time. However, just before the sniper made his move, Fade lightly pointed with his finger and said faintly, "Ice Lotus, bloom!" The sniper suddenly felt a chill and his body stiffened. The chill quickly swept through his body from the inside out, making him unable to move at all. "What, what's wrong with me... This was the last thought that came to his mind. Then, a miserable cry sounded. Within his body, an azure lotus flower blossomed, igniting a flame. It directly burned all of his internal organs and burned him into ashes, which scattered down to the small room. Seeing this, Maldrick was dumbstruck, and his face was filled with terror. "How is this possible? How is this possible? That is my trump card, my ace. How could you... Fade said faintly, "Is he your trump card? As soon as I came into the room, I found him at first glance and did something to him." The something that he mentioned was the "Ice Lotus Flame" he had learned from absorbing the Ice Lotus. Compared to the Blazing Vision, the Ice Lotus Flame was even quieter. It could be activated from the inside out, making it impossible to defend against. When he discovered the shooter, he quietly injected the Ice Lotus Flame into his body and waited for the crucial moment for it to flare up. Thus, there was a shocking scene at this moment. After listening to Fade's words, Maldrick sat on the ground with a disappointed look on his face. As a late stage Earth Level martial artist, he was the emperor of the underworld of Southzobe City. He had been dominating for decades, but he had never been as powerless as he was that day. The young man in front of him was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to climb over it. He didn't even have the courage to look up at it. At this moment, he lost all his hope to live and had no will to fight back. He sat on the ground, absent-minded, and said, "I've lost. Just kill me!" Fade's eyes turned cold. He injected a little of his energy into Maldrick's Dantian abdomen and destroyed his cultivation. Then, he turned his gaze towards the people of the Xu family and strode towards them. The Xu family members had already been frightened by the battle between Fade and Maldrick. According to their understanding, Maldrick was an almost invincible martial arts master, but in the end, he couldn't even hurt Fade. Fade's strength was beyond their imagination. "What, what are you trying to do?" Salman was trembling out of fear at this moment, and his body kept shrinking back. Felix was also scared out of his wits, but he was a director after all. He tried his best to support himself and said, "Don't, don't come over here. What do you want to do... "What do I want to do?" Fade snorted, "You've kidnapped my sister and tried to kill me. What do you think I want to do?" After that, a virtual sword burst out from Fade's fingertips. The sharp virtual blade was like the sickle in the hands of death, glimmering with a terrifying energy. "No, don't kill me, don't!" Keith, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was so scared that he peed a little and begged for mercy tremblingly. Mandell wasn't any much better. His body kept shaking and his teeth chattering. However, his parents, Adele and Felix, stood in front of him, gritting their teeth. "Fade, let me tell you, killing people is against the law. If you kill us, you can't escape from it, Felix said. Adele also added immediately, "My husband is a director, and I am a chief. We are officials, and our Xu family almost represents the government in Southzobe City. If you hurt us, you will never have a good end." Haha. Are you explaining the rules and regulations to me now?" Fade said with a sneer, " Well, I would like to ask Director Xu then. "When your son took advantage of his power and broke someone else's leg, when you colluded with the underworld to kidnap my sister, and when you even smuggled weapons to take revenge, have you thought of the law? Have you thought of your own identity?" "I, I... Felix stammered for a while and then said, "I'm guilty. I'm sorry, but you can't kill me. I should be judged by the law... "No, that's enough. I will be the judge." Fade's palm was full of strength, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring. The Xu family members were scared out of their wits, and their eyes were filled with fear. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a group of people in uniform rushed in. Instantly, the gazes of the people in the small house were all focused on these people. Felix, who was almost desperate, suddenly became excited when he saw the group of people coming in. His eyes were filled with the last hope of life and he hurriedly shouted, " us. Please save us. Afton, you are here. Hurry up and catch him. He wants to kill Vera and the others also shouted together. The person who came was Afton, the director of the Stealth Team in Southzobe City. Pascha, the old master, had also contacted Afton to deal with Fade. However, it was refused by Afton, thus the Old Master decided to cooperate with Maldrick to deal with Fade instead.
Chapter 1539 Meanwhile, Afton had become their savior no matter what had happened before. However, the next scene was totally out of their expectation. Afton just glanced at them, ignored them, and went straight to Fade. He respectfully saluted and said, "I'm Afton, the director of the Stealth Team in Southzobe City. Good to see you, Instructor Chen." Fade nodded and answered gently. Felix and the others were shocked, and there were looks of disbelief on their faces. "Afton, what, what's going on? He.... Afton looked at Felix with a serious face and said seriously, "Director Xu, let me introduce him to you formally. This is Mr. Chen, the special instructor of the headquarters of the Stealth Team. He is in charge of the special training of the Stealth Team. The captains of the Five Elements Squad are all the students of Instructor Chen. "What? He is the chief instructor of the Stealth Team?" "He trained the Five Elements Squad as well? This, this... When they heard of this, the Xu family members were dumbstruck. Their eyes were full of shock and disbelief. Afton was not done yet. He continued to introduce, "At the same time, not long ago at the Martial Arts Convention, Instructor Chen defeated Faxon and won the championship, obtaining the first place in the Dragon List." "He is Fade Chen, who ranks first on the Dragon List? "If we had known about this earlier, we wouldn't... Afton continued, "Besides, during the exploration of the Dragon Mausoleum some time ago, Instructor Chen caused a big scene. He defeated two Martial Arts Masters from the hidden Chiang family and brought the secular martial artists back safely. He is worthy of respect. Upon hearing this, the Xu family members were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Maldrick, whose cultivation had been destroyed and who was in his last breath, was so petrified that his eyes were filled with shock and remorse. As a martial artist, he certainly knew what a Martial Arts Master meant. He understood more clearly what a hidden family's Martial Arts Master was. As for Fade, he could kill two hidden family's Martial Arts Masters, which showed that his strength had already reached a level beyond his imagination. "I deserved to be defeated!" Maldrick let out a long sigh. The last breath was stuck in his throat and he died, right there and then. The king of the underground world of Southzobe City, who had dominated the area for thirty years, had died in such a way that made people sigh. The members of the Xu family had already been so frightened that they couldn't even speak. After the introduction, Afton looked at the Xu family and said sternly, "Felix, now you know what you have done! Your Xu family has offended Instructor Chen. It's unforgivable. Apologize to him now." Hearing this, Felix froze for a moment, and then he seemed to have understood something. He quickly knelt on the ground, bowed and said, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong, our Xu family was wrong. We deserve to die. We shouldn't have offended you, Mr. Chen. We... With Felix taking the lead, the rest of the Xu family cried out and begged for forgiveness in front of Fade. Fade's eyes were cold as he watched this scene. He glanced at Afton beside him and said coldly, "Afton, what are you trying to do?" When Afton saw his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble. His eyes moved slightly. He quickly bowed his head and said, "Instructor Chen, the Xu family has made a huge mistake and should be taught a lesson. I am only letting them realize their mistakes." Was it just a mistake?" Fade's eyes turned cold, and he said, "As for the lesson, " you don't need to be troubled. I will do it myself. After that, the virtual blade burst out from his fingertips again. When the Xu family saw this, they were scared out of their wits and trembled. Afton's body also trembled, and his expression was unsightly, but he still said, "Instructor Chen, Felix has a high position and the Xu family is extraordinary. If we kill him directly, I'm afraid that the impact is not good!" "Is it because of the bad impact? Or do you have other thoughts?" Fade looked at him with cold eyes. Afton suddenly felt a chill all over. He felt as if Fade had seen through his thoughts, and there was no secret that could be hidden from him. Although Afton refused to help Pascha, he was still a student of his. He had also been in Southzobe City for so many years, thus he was more or less acquainted with the Xu family. Therefore, he came here now to speak up for the Xu family, hoping to help them obtain a chance to live. However, to his surprise, Fade saw through his intention at a glance. Suddenly, Afton didn't dare to say anything else. He bowed his head and cupped one hand in the other before his chest, "I don't dare to. They are at your disposal, Instructor Chen!" Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Xu family members revealed a look of despair. They cried and wanted to make their final pleas. However, Fade's movements were even faster. With a swish of his finger, the virtual sword sliced open the necks of the Xu family members and he killed them all in one move. The six people of the Xu family fell into a pool of blood and they died. Even though Afton had experienced and witnessed such a scene before, his entire body began to tremble when he saw this scene. Then, Fade loosened the rope which was trapping Joey. He gently held her and stepped away. As he walked to the door of the small room, he turned to Afton and said, "Take care of the rest!" "Yes, I will handle it properly." Afton immediately made a bow and said. Fade nodded and then left with Joey. At the same time, in the Xu family mansion, Pascha was sitting on a chair and having a sip of tea. Listening to the melodious sound of the Zither, his heart could not calm down. After waving his hand and calling for his secretary, Pascha ordered, "How's the situation over at Felix's side?" The secretary quickly bowed and said, "Old Master, I'll call them and ask. Based on the time, it should be almost over." "It's good as long as it ends here. A person who disrespects my Xu family should be punished," Pascha coldly snorted and said. A moment later, his secretary came in with a flustered look on his face, and his movements were a little hasty. "What's wrong?" Seeing this, Pascha couldn't help frowning, and there was a slight dissatisfaction in his voice. The secretary quickly said, "Old Master, I, I just called Director Xu, but no one answered." "No one answered? Is it not over yet?" Pascha frowned. The secretary shook his head and said, "Not only Director Xu, but Adele, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Mandell and Master Kun as well. None of them answered." "What... Immediately, Pascha could sense that something went wrong. The secretary continued, "After that, I sent someone to check on the situation. They said that there seemed to have been a fierce battle over at the steel factory. There were also gunshots, and the shooting lasted for a long time." "In the end, the people of the Stealth Team went in. Only Fade and Joey came out. They didn't see Director Xu or Mr. Mandell." Upon hearing this, Pascha couldn't help but be shocked. He sat up from the chair and said, "What did you say?"
Chapter 1540 A strong ominous feeling welled up in Pascha's heart, which made him agitated. "You said that the Stealth Team went in? Then, call Afton quickly. I have to ask... He said anxiously. He then quickly grabbed the mobile phone from his secretary and dialed Afton's mobile phone. The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. Afton's voice rang, Master Xu, you... "Afton, I'm Pascha. I heard that you brought people to the steel factory in the eastern suburb. What was the situation inside? Are Felix and Mandell still there? Have them talk to me," he said in a hurry. At this moment, Afton, who was on the other end of the line, froze. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Master Xu, you need to be mentally prepared." "Huh? What do you mean?" Pascha's eyes were wide open and his tone was raised. Afton answered in a low voice, "Master Xu, when we arrived, Director Xu, Adele, and Mr. Mandell; all six of them were dead. Now, we are cleaning up the scene. "What? They're all dead?" Pascha raised his voice, "What did you say? Felix died? Mandell died? This is impossible. It can't be possible. How could this happen?" Afton knew that Pascha was agitated, but his tone did not change. He said in a low voice, "Master Xu, this is the truth. My deepest condolences to you. "What do you mean by condolences?" These words were particularly harsh to Pascha, which made him upset. "Afton, my son, my daughter, my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law, they are all dead, yet you are conveying condolences. How can I be calm?" In the face of his roar, Afton could not help but frown, and he said, "Master Xu, we will investigate this matter clearly. At that time, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." "What is there to investigate clearly? What's the point of giving a satisfactory explanation?" Pascha roared, "Afton, you are speaking to me with an official tone to fool me, right? Do you think that I don't know what's going on? The murderer is Fade. Go arrest him. Hurry up. Hearing this, Afton felt a little annoyed. He said in a low voice, "Master Xu, this is a very important matter. We can't speculate at will. We will investigate it carefully. What the hell! Afton, did you collude with him?" Pascha said angrily, "When I asked you to help me previously, you tried every possible means to reject my request, but my men had witnessed that you brought the people of the Stealth Team into the steel factory, and only Fade came out of it. "You must have met him. Why did you let him go? Why didn't you catch the murderer? You have colluded with him. You are also the murderer who killed my son and grandson. I will report you and arrest you." Pascha was extremely angry. On the other end of the line, Afton frowned deeply when he heard this. He was filled with grievance and anger. In the beginning, when Pascha wanted to deal with Fade, he had warned the Xu family not to make a move. However, they did not listen to him, and they had ended up like this. Even just now, for the sake of their past acquaintance, he had tried to help Felix and the others at the risk of offending Fade. As a result, he had almost been blamed for being an accomplice. He had done enough, and yet he was being misunderstood by Pascha. He was being blamed for being an accomplice again. Suddenly, he couldn't help but raise his voice, and he shouted on the phone, 'Pascha, if you want to report me, go ahead, but before that, you'd better think about yourself first." "How, how could you talk to me like that?" Pascha was surprised by Afton's attitude. He was dumbfounded for a moment. At this time, Afton was completely at ease. He did not care about anything and said, "To tell you the truth, Felix, Mandell and the others were indeed killed by Fade. When I went to the scene just now, I did meet him and he left in front of my eyes. "You, you actually... Pascha was a little angry and surprised after Afton had admitted it directly. Afton continued to say furiously. "This is the truth, but let me warn you, don't think about catching Fade, or even trying to seek revenge. All of this is what your Xu family deserves. "I've warned you not to mess with Fade before, but not only did your Xu family not listen to me, but you also took advantage of it. You colluded with Maldrick to kidnap the hostage, smuggled guns boldly, and armed a squad with gunmen "You are an experienced official. You know very well what all these things meant. Once the higher-ups pursue this matter, what will be the result of it?" At this point, Pascha, who was on the other end of the line, couldn't help trembling, and his face showed a hint of worry. "I, I, my Xu family was wrong. but Fade went too far. How could he kill Felix and the others out of the law? This is illegal, it is... "Illegal?" Before Pascha could finish, Afton sneered and interrupted his words. "Let me tell you Fade's real identity. His name is Fade Chen. He has the Martial Arts strength of the Heaven Level and is known as a young Martial Arts Master. He won the Martial Arts Convention not long ago and ranked first on the Dragon List." "This, this... Hearing Fade's identity, Pascha couldn't help but be shocked. Afton continued to say, "In addition, Mr. Chen is also the special instructor of the Stealth Team. He is responsible for the training of the Five Elements Squad. He is the superior of my superior. For many matters, he has the power to behead anyone before reporting. What? He is the head instructor of the Stealth Team? How could that be? I, I... " At this moment, Pascha was really shocked. His face was filled with astonishment. Afton didn't listen to him. "I'm not done yet. Besides, you should know that the Dragon Mausoleum, which was discovered in our Zobery District not long ago, has attracted a lot of martial artists to explore and search for treasures. While in the process of exploring the Dragon Mausoleum, Mr. Chen killed the two martial arts masters from the Chiang family of the hidden family. His strength is extremely terrifying." At this time, Pascha was completely dumbstruck. "He killed two martial arts masters, and they are martial arts masters from the hidden families. This, this... In the end, he was frozen from shock. He couldn't utter a single word. Afton vented all the grievance and dissatisfaction in his heart in one breath. He then finally said angrily, "Now, do you know who your Xu family has offended?" "I, I... Pascha gulped and struggled to speak. His heart was filled with fear and regret. Afton said, "I can tell you now that the deaths of Felix and the others are entirely their own fault. They only have themselves to blame. As for yourself, you should also be prepared to be investigated."
Chapter 1541 After that, Afton hung up the phone. His eyes were serious and cold. He calmed down and shook his head before commanding his men to continue cleaning up the scene. Just then, in the courtyard of the Xu family, Pascha was rooted to the ground, unable to make a move. The beeping tone of the mobile phone could still be heard as he was still holding his mobile phone. "Old Master, Old Master!" In the end, Pascha finally came to his senses after being nudged by his secretary. He handed the phone to his secretary and walked to his room. When his secretary noticed his pale face, she looked worried as she followed behind him, "Old Master, let me help you. You should get some rest.... "No, you may leave. Leave me alone for a while, Pascha waved his hand,. He then slowly hobbled into the room. Right then, he had completely lost his previous high-spirited appearance and seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Although his secretary, Anstice was worried, she could only turn around and go about her own business when Pascha asked her to leave. But not long after, Anstice suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by a noisy commotion coming from outside. All of a sudden, Anstice's heart dropped and she immediately rushed out. She quickly rushed into the courtyard. Currently, many people had gathered in the yard, each of them looking extremely frightened as they kept retreating. Anstice pushed through the crowd and rushed over. Then, she saw a man lying facedown on the grass. The person had slammed head first into the grass, his skull deformed from the impact of the fall. Beneath the body, a pool of dark, red blood had staining the green grass a crimson ruby colour. Looking up again, she noticed that Pascha's coat was still hanging on the balcony on the third floor, dancing along with the wind. "The Old Master, he... Anstice muttered. She recalled the last few words and deadpan silence after Pascha made the call just moments ago. She murmured in a daze, "The Xu family is finished!" The next day, the whole Southzobe City was in an uproar. Even in this era where news was flying everywhere, people had already gotten used to all kinds of strange news. Yet, when the news of six Xu family members being killed in an abandoned factory, as well as the suicide of the Xu family's Old Master, Pascha Xu broke out, Southzobe City and even the entire Zobery District were swept with shock and disbelief. All kinds of gossip and rumors quickly spread around. There were many different speculations trying to explain the sudden death of the six Xu family members and Pascha's death, but there was no evident conclusion. Nonetheless, the final consensus that everyone had arrived to was eerily similar: the Xu family's era was officially over. The Xu family, which could almost represent the official government of Southzobe City, suddenly collapsed, catching everyone off guard. Of course, back at the Choo family's house, Clara, Hailey, Heinz, and the rest understood what was going on! They already thought Fade was extremely admirable, but after knowing what had happened, they were even more in awe of him. The well-informed rich and powerful people in Southzobe City quickly came to visit the Choo family. One by one, they presented Fade with all kinds of precious gifts, hoping they could get close to him. Nevertheless, Fade was not interested. He refused to meet any of them and sent all of them back. Moore, on the other hand, found Fade. He had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he had a question he wanted to ask. Seeing this, Fade said directly, "Master Chen, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Moore nodded and asked, "Fade, Joey told me before. She trained under Master Hsuanyuen from Tianwu Mountain in martial arts, just like you." "That's true!" Fade said. Moore continued, "Joey also told me that your current strength has already reached the peak of the Heaven Level, which is very powerful. As for her, she has attained the strength of the mid-Heaven Level stages." "That's true too, Fade agreed, " cultivation, I can... Master Chen, if you want to improve your Moore shook his head and explained, "I'm not in a hurry to raise my cultivation for the time being. What I wanted to ask was why Joey was captured by Maldrick's men despite being so strong? It seems... Speaking of this, Fade's face couldn't help but sink, and his expression grew a little serious. "Is there anything you are not comfortable telling me? If that's the case, I won't ask any more questions," Moore smiled. Fade shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's nothing much. It's just that I thought that she would tell you herself." "What's the matter?" Moore felt a sense of ominousness. Fade revealed, "See, when my master took Joey back to Tianwu Mountain, she was seriously injured and was on the verge of death." "Thankfully, my master finally managed to save her. However, Joey was already seriously injured in the first place. Even if he rescued her himself, she was still very weak, even more so than most ordinary people." "If so, Joey... Hearing this, Moore couldn't help but feel his heart ache. Fade continued, " Master taught her martial arts from an early age in order to train her body. His original intention was to help Joey build up some muscles and keep her in good health." "He never expected Joey's potential in martial arts to be astonishing. She surpassed most of the martial artists and made rapid progress." "Initially, it was good news for any martial artists to improve quickly. But for Joey, there was an exception." Moore couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Joey?" Fade sighed, "Joey has been seriously injured since she was a child. Apart from her severe injuries, her internal injuries were pretty bad, affecting her meridians and several organs." "It wasn't such a big problem at first. However, as her cultivation increased, the positive energy within her continued to grow denser and circulate quicker. Because of that, her weak meridians and dantian abdomen were unable to withstand the impact of the positive energy." "That was why Master had forbidden Joey from cultivating martial arts. At the same time, she was perseverant in martial arts and insisted on cultivating. She was also looking forward to her success in her cultivation and finding traces of her parents." 'Hence, Master has thought of a lot of ways to help her. He used a lot of different medicinal concoctions to help Joey repair her meridians and dantian abdomen. However, it wasn't enough. She has to slow down her cultivation. If not, her meridians and dantian abdomen would explode from the sheer impact of the positive energy circulating within her." Master once said that Joey's talent in cultivation is no less than mine. If it " weren't for her body, perhaps she would have already long surpassed me At that thought, Fade couldn't help but sigh heavily, his gaze filled with resignation and empathy.
Chapter 1542 Moore, who was sitting opposite of Fade, was silent for a while. He had a complicated expression on, which was a mixture of pity, sadness and surprise. Eventually, he could only sigh deeply, "She was worried about her meridians and dantian abdomen, no wonder she couldn't wasn't able to give it her all. This does explain why she was captured by Maldrick." Fade nodded and said, "That's right. Of course, it's not that Joey can't use any positive energy, it's just that she can't use too much of it." "She can still use the positive energy belonging to the Black Level for now. It'll be dangerous once she tries to use positive energy belonging to the Earth level, and it will start causing harm to her body. As for her own mid-Heaven level cultivation, if she uses it with all her strength, she can only use it at most for three times. More than that, and her dantian abdomen and meridians will burst due to the pressure." Moore was worried for Joey after hearing this. He looked up at Fade and asked, "Then, is there any way to cure it?" Fade replied, "In recent years, Master has tried a lot of methods. The effects of ordinary medicine and cultivation methods are very limited. Now, there is a rare medicinal material called the Nine- star Root which can probably still work. However, it is very difficult to find. Truthfully, we still have no idea how to completely cure her." "The Nine- star Root... I'll keep this in mind." Moore nodded, a solemn expression lurking on his face. Then, he stood up and walked towards the door, "Thank you, Fade. I'm going to have a chat with Joey. I have owed her too much over the years. For the rest of my life, I will do everything for her. Fade nodded. He looked at Moore and smiled, "Joey is very blissful to have a father like you." Just then, Joey had tiptoed to the door. She made sure to be as silent as she could, and was ready to eavesdrop on Fade and Moore's conversation. When she heard the conversation between the two in the room, especially Moore's last words, tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes. She was going to push the door open and scare them. However, she retreated silently, carefully wiping her tears away and left. Fade and the others stayed in Southzobe City for another two days. By then, the turmoil in Southzobe City had died down. The Xu family was completely destroyed, and the relevant personnel and forces involved had also collapsed or fled. After the fall of the Xu family, the Choo family had taken over their positions. At first, as the Choo family was merely a larger merchant in business, it was impossible to be able to replace the Xu family that quickly. However, Fade had been living with the Choo family for a few days. This gave others the impression that he was supporting them. With that, the other forces in Southzobe City naturally did not dare to act at will. On the other hand, on the other side of Long City, Taufeeq had also managed to control the situation well. With the title of the number one family in Long City, he arrived in Southzobe City to help the Choo family gain a firm footing. Fade didn't care much about that. The empty position in Southzobe City would always be occupied by others. In this case, it was better if someone he knew took over the position compared to others. After the Choo family managed to gain full control over Southzobe City, Fade, Joey, and Moore bade farewell to them and returned to Capital City. At the Capital City International Airport, Fade and his friends walked out of the airport. They looked up at the dusky sky of Capital City and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "It's been close to two months. Finally, I'm back," Fade sighed. Along with Joey and Moore, they got into a taxi on the roadside and went back. Fade went back to the dorm. Since it had taken much difficulty for Joey to reunite with her father, it would be inconvenient for her to continue living in the dormitory. Hence, Fade bought a house near Capital City University so the two could live together comfortably. As such, Moore was able to express his fatherly love and doting care towards Joey. Every day, he would help Joey wash her clothes, even making her adorable packed lunches and bringing them to university. At the beginning, Joey was a little moved. However, after a long time, the active Joey could no longer stand her father's exceptionally warm care anymore. As a result, the father and daughter duo started having small quarrels with each other. From time to time, they would even have a physical fight and caused much fuss. Fade was used to this. After all, he was very clear about Joey's character. In fact, this was actually quite normal for her. If she were to pretend to be sentimental and gentle, she wouldn't be able to take it. Therefore, after Fade's persuasion, Moore reduced his overbearing care towards his daughter. Instead, he focused on other matters, such as dealing with some matters from a few decades ago and meeting some old friends from years back. Of course, the most important thing for him now was to help his daughter find out anything about the Nine-star Root. Fade also paid close attention to this. He asked the staff in the Sincere Medicine Center to help him keep an eye out for this, and he also contacted some herbal suppliers to have them look for it. After making all these arrangements, Fade immediately thought of Master Chol. As the National Chinese Medical Doctor as well as an official imperial physician in the Capital City Imperial Hospital, he might know some ways to obtain such valuable herbs. With that in mind, Fade contacted Master Chol and asked for his help to look for the Nine-star Root. After Master Chol learned about the matter, he agreed and invited Fade to come over the next day to have a chat. Of course, Fade agreed. The next day, he planned to go to the Capital City Imperial Hospital to look for Master Choi. Before he left, he received a sudden message from Master Choi, saying that he had something urgent to do that day. He was not at the Capital City Imperial Hospital, but at the National Medical College instead. Hence, he asked Fade to go to the National Medical College to meet up with him. Fade knew that in addition to being employed in the Capital City Imperial Hospital, Master Choi was also a teacher like Fade himself. Master Choi was a lecturer at the National Medical College, which was considered a hub to promote the use of Chinese medicine. The National Medical College was not far from Capital City University, so Fade didn't see the need to ride a car. Instead, he walked there. When he arrived at National Medical College, Fade noticed that the students here walked much faster. It seemed that they were extremely busy. Studying medicine was truly harder than studying for other general subjects. After he secretly teased these students, Fade asked a student where the Chinese Medicine School was and walked over. The Chinese Medicine School was located in an old three story building. The building's red and grey bricks made the whole building look pretty old, but it had perfectly encapsulated the beauty of having passed the test of time. Compared with other medical colleges where the number of students would enter and exit the building in endless stream, the number of the students passing through the entrance of the Chinese Medicine School were significantly less. Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help but sigh. There really was a need to popularize Chinese medicine!
Chapter 1543 After a slight sigh, Fade walked into the building. Fade did not know the location of Master Chol's office, and there was no such thing as a map in this old building. Fade could only look into each and every room manually. After searching on the first floor, Fade still did not find Flynt's office. Hence, he headed for the stairs and was ready to go upstairs to look for him. Just as he was about to go upstairs, a crisp female voice could be heard, "Hi, what's wrong? Fade turned around and saw a girl around 19 years old standing in front of him. She was the one who asked him politely with a smile on her face. It seemed that she was a student of the Chinese Medicine School who thought that Fade was a student of the National Medical College as well. Without further explanation, Fade smiled and asked, "Hello, may I ask where Professor Choi's office is? Can you point out the way for me?" Hearing that, the girl smiled and said, "So, you are also looking for Professor Choi too! His office is on the top floor. Follow me, I'll take you there!" "Alright, thank you," Fade expressed his gratitude before going upstairs with the girl. He had small talk with her along the way, "Are there a lot of students in the school looking for Professor Choi?" The girl, whose name was Felicity, looked at Fade and replied, "Of course! Professor Chol is a National Chinese Medical Doctor as well as an imperial physician in the Capital City Imperial Hospital. In the Chinese medicine field, he is a famous figure, thus there are a lot of people who would look for him." Fade nodded. He immediately smiled, "You must be very lucky to be Master Choi's student. If so, you can meet him regularly!" Felicity nodded and answered solemnly, "That's right. Last year, I indeed applied for the Chinese Medicine School of National Medical College because of Master Choi." "I see. Are you a first year student?" Fade asked casually. Felicity said, "Yes, it has been half a year since I've enrolled in the school. Many classmates of mine are just like me since they all have enrolled here just for Master Choi. But now, some people in our class are regretting it." "Regretting it? Why? Master Choi is such a famous professor. Why do they regret it?" Fade asked. Felicity pursed her lips and frowned, "Chinese medicine is too unpopular. It's too troublesome and hard to learn. Besides, Master Chol's teaching is quite strict. Some students haven't been able to cope well, saying that it is way more difficult than back in high school. Because of that, some have decided to transfer courses." Hearing this, Fade could only sigh. At the same time, he understood the students' concerns. Back in the days, Chinese medicine was usually taught from a young age. One would start learning from an early age, from memorizing different concoctions to learning about herbs and various prescriptions. Without years of effort, they wouldn't be experienced in it. Nowadays, a lot of students had never been exposed to Chinese medicine when they were young. Once they got into college, they would have to learn everything from the very beginning. Naturally, it would be harder for them as Master Choi had stricter requirements as well. However, Fade did not want to say too much. They chose this difficult path in the very beginning, only to complain about how hard and unpopular it was. If they decided to give up and stop studying because of that, it would be all their fault. Felicity noticed Fade's contemplative look for a while. She mumbled, "Actually, I'm feeling a little regretful too." "Oh, you don't want to learn Chinese medicine either?" Fade looked at Felicity with some surprise. Just a while ago, she seemed to be quite interested in Chinese medicine. Why did she suddenly say she regretted it? Hearing that, Felicity quickly waved her hands and laughed. "No, no, I didn't mean it like that. It's not that I don't want to learn Chinese medicine." "What do you mean then?" Fade asked. Felicity explained, "Although I said I'm feeling regretful, to be honest, I'm actually envious." "Envious?" Fade was even more puzzled. Felicity said, "I like Chinese medicine, and the Chinese medicine major in National Medical College is considered one of the best in the industry. Hence, I decided to apply here after the college entrance examination. "But to my surprise, I heard from my classmates that in the Chinese Medicine School of Capital City University, there is a young lecturer teaching Chinese medicine. His name is Fade Chen, if I'm not mistaken, and his classes are very interesting. He talks in a profound way and often conducts various intriguing experiments, making his teaching fun, simple and clear for students. Moreover, he is also a National Chinese Medical Doctor himself. His medical skills are not inferior to that of Master Choi's. In short, he is very awesome. "Of course, there is a classmate who also mentioned that he is a handsome guy. Many girls like him." "My entrance results are good enough to apply for Capital City University. If I had known of this, perhaps I would have applied for the Chinese Medicine School at Capital City University instead, Felicity said emotionally. Fade, who was listening aside, couldn't help but scratch his nose. He couldn't describe what he was feeling at the moment. He didn't expect that rumors of his reputation had already spread to the National Medicine College. Moreover, news of his teachings had been so widespread that it attracted Felicity's attention as well. Fade thought to himself, "If I reveal my identity at this moment, will Felicity be disappointed? She will probably think that I have ruined the perfect image of myself she thought up!" Fade didn't say anything for a long time. From Felicity's point of view, it was a period of awkward silence. It suddenly occurred to Felicity that this senior seemed to be here to visit Master Choi. Perhaps, he was here to apply for Master Choi's postgraduate entrance examination, or perhaps he was a student who had come due to Master Choi's fame. She had actually mentioned her regret of being Master Chol's student in front of him. It was no wonder that he would be displeased. Suddenly, Felicity's face turned pale. She quickly explained, "Hey, don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm not satisfied with Master Choi's teaching. I'm just saying things aloud. I don't regret it. I..." Fade looked at Felicity with some surprise and was confused for a while. After a pause, he came to his senses and finally understood what she was concerned about. Fade parted his lips with a smile, "It's okay. I know what you mean. There's no such misunderstanding." "Okay, seems like we are on the third floor already. Where is Master Choi's office?" He changed the topic. Felicity pointed to the left and directed him, " Master Choi's office is over there. It's the innermost room. Come on, let's go!" Fade nodded and walked forward with Felicity by his side. The door of the office in the innermost room was closed, so they couldn't see the inside of the room clearly. Felicity knocked on the door, then she stood at the door and waited respectfully. A moment later, a soft cough came from the room, after which a deliberately suppressed voice asked, "Who is it?" Felicity replied, "Someone is here to look for Professor Choi "Come in!" The voice from inside ordered. Then, Felicity pushed the door open and walked into the office. Fade also followed behind her. This office was not small and it was divided into three rooms. In the outermost room, there was a man in his twenties, wearing a tie and glasses. He was currently sitting in front of a desk and looking through some files.
Chapter 1544 Beside the man, Tenant, was a woman in a suit called Betty. She was holding a stack of documents and was busy sorting them out. Seeing this, Fade could not help but feel slightly doubtful. Seeing this, Felicity whispered to Fade, "The buildings in the Chinese Medicine School are too old, and we don't have enough offices. Master Choi's office is relatively large, so he suggested dividing his office into another few parts so they can be used for other functions. "The outermost room is our school's student union office. The room in the center is where Master Choi teaches his postgraduate students, and only the innermost room is Master Chol's office." After hearing this, Fade finally understood and nodded thoughtfully. Just then, Tenant and Betty noticed Felicity and Fade whispering to each other. They couldn't help frowning out of displeasure. Tenant said in an unpleasant tone, "Felicity, aren't you here to report something? Are you here to just chit chat?" After hearing Tenant's words, Felicity quickly explained, "Of course not. This student here is here to look for Professor Choi, but he got lost. Thus, I brought him here... Before Felicity could finish, Tenant harrumphed loudly. Beside him, Betty threw the documents on the table heavily and glared at Felicity. She snarled, "Felicity, are you aware of the school rules?" "Betty, I-I... Felicity was at a loss. She looked at Betty in panic and in distraught, with no idea what to do. Betty remarked coldly, "Who allowed you to address Tenant by his first name? You should pay attention to your identity and status. You should address him as Mr. Liu instead." "Oh, I... Felicity was a little flustered. Then, she looked at Tenant and said timidly, "Mr. Liu, I-I'm sorry, I... Tenant did not reply to her and instead, continued looking indifferent. Betty cleared her throat and snorted coldly. A second later, she shouted at Felicity, "Felicity, do you know the rules? Do you know who you are?" "You are also part of the student union of our college. Don't you know that you have to report everything based on the hierarchy of our student union? Do you even have a shred of common sense?" Betty berated. "H-I... Felicity's face was slightly pale. It was true that she didn't consider so much. She then stared timidly at Betty before stammering, "Betty, I..." "Why are you still addressing me as Betty?" Betty's expression darkened as she berated Felicity. Felicity quickly amended her words and said, "Miss Zhang, I-I have something to report to you. Hearing this, Betty crossed her arms in front of her chest. After a pause of around four to five seconds, she scoffed haughtily, "Go on!" Felicity quickly continued, "Miss Zhang, I- I've brought this student to find Professor Chol. May I know if Professor Choi is in his office?" After the question, Betty nodded and then leaned over towards Tenant. She smiled seductively. "Tenant, about this... Without waiting for her to finish, Tenant waved his hand and said, "I understand, I'll handle it." Then, he looked at Fade and asked in a deep voice, "Are you looking for Professor Choi?" Fade noticed Tenant's arrogant tone and could not help frowning. However, he still nodded and said, "Yes." "Who are you? Why are you looking for Professor Choi? Have you made an appointment in advance? If not, come and register first, Tenant said. As a student, his tone had become more and more domineering, which made Fade feel uncomfortable. With that, Fade decided to ask, "Why are you asking so much? I'm looking for Professor Chol, not you." What's wrong with your attitude? How can you talk to me like that?" Tenant was furious. He slammed his palm on the table and shouted at Fade. Betty, who was next to him, also took the chance to shout, "Who are you? Which school are you from? What's your name? What's your student ID number?" Fade snorted and rolled his eyes, "I'm not from your school. You don't have the right to ask me these questions." "You... how can you talk to us like that?" Tenant was so angry that he was already raising his voice. On the other hand, Betty glared at Felicity and reprimanded her, "What have you done? You've brought someone here without looking into his identity clearly. If he has evil intentions and wants to harm us or Professor Choi, what are you going to do? Can you bear the consequences if that happens?" "H-I didn't think so much. I just wanted to help lead the way. I... Felicity did not expect this to happen and tears welled up in her eyes. "You didn't think that much? As a student union, you do things without keeping the iron rules in mind, and you don't have the proper thinking as well. In my opinion, you are not capable of working here anymore. Write a reflection letter and resign after this." "I-I just..." Felicity wanted to explain. However, Tenant waved his hand and dismissed her, "The decision has been made. Our organization has made the final call, and your only job is to obey us. No other explanation is needed." "It's an extremely dangerous act to bring unidentified people to the student union. Even if you refuse to do any work, you have to reflect on your own behavior, Betty was still reprimanding her haughtily. At that moment, Felicity's tears flowed down silently. She couldn't say a word to retort Betty. Fade patted Felicity's shoulder gently and comforted her, "It's okay, don't cry. You did nothing wrong. They are the ones who did something wrong." "But, I..." Felicity looked at Fade helplessly. Fade said, "Professor Choi asked me to come here and you led the way for me. This is an act of kindness, and you shouldn't be blamed because of that." Felicity nodded and felt a little better. Meanwhile, Tenant and Betty started to sneer at Fade after hearing what he said. "Professor Choi asked you to come? Are you kidding me?" Who are you? Judging by Professor Choi's identity, why would he take the initiative to invite someone like you here? You should really learn how to spin logical lies. "I have good reason to suspect you of improper intentions due to your suspicious identity. Betty, please ask the security guards to come over! Detain him and conduct a search to prevent any accidents from happening." "Yes, Mr. Liu." Soon, the two security guards came upstairs and were going to take Fade away. Fade warned them coldly, "I am Master Choi's guest. If you don't believe me, you can call Master Choi to confirm. The security guards looked at each other in dismay before turning to Tenant. Obviously, they did not have Master Choi's phone number, so they could only seek for Tenant to help. However, Tenant didn't want to confirm Fade's identity at all. He waved his hand and ordered, 'He is just a young lad with no proper identity. How could he be a guest of Professor Choi? You don't need to confirm anything, just arrest him and take him to the Department of Safety and Security. If you investigate him carefully, perhaps you can tell us more things.
Chapter 1545 The two security guards were about to make a move on Fade. Fade frowned and pushed them away with little effort. Then, he headed straight towards Tenant and Betty. When they saw this, their faces suddenly turned pale and their expressions looked anxious. They stammered, "Wha-what are you going to do?" Fade looked at the two people coldly. He grabbed Tenant by the collar, lifted him up, and warned coldly, "I'm here for official business, and I don't want to make any trouble. Though, I don't mind entertaining you if you insist on provoking me. I can show you who you're allowed to offend." Tenant did not expect Fade to be so powerful. He immediately panicked, but still tried to flaunt his identity and status, "Let me tell you, don't mess und with me. I am the president of the student union of the Chinese Medicine School. I have a good relationship with Master Choi." "If you beat me up, I will explain the situation to Master Choi. When the time comes, you'll know of the consequences." Betty who was standing beside him also chimed in, " You'd better let us go, otherwise..." What Mr. Llu said is true. "Shut up!" Fade didn't wait for her to finish. He roared at her, scaring her as she dropped to the ground, not even daring to make another move nor sound. Immediately, Fade threw Tenant to the ground as though he was a ragdoll, then swaggered right to Flynt's office. Seeing this, Felicity was extremely shocked, and there was a look of worry on her face. However, she still stepped up and followed him in. Flynt was not in the office, but Fade was not in a hurry. He sat down in the office and waited for Flynt's return. Meanwhile, Tenant and Betty who were in the outer room got up from the ground with great difficulty. They glanced inside and looked at Fade, resentment bubbling in their gaze. "That brat actually attacked me! I'm going to make him pay the price." "Don't forget, Felicity has colluded with outsiders against us. Her behaviour is not befitting of our organization. People like her must be punished severely. Just as they were discussing how to deal with Fade softly, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside. They quickly got up and looked at the door. Then, they saw an old man walking in with some teaching materials in his hand. It was none other than Master Chol. Noticing that they were in a mess, Master Choi could not help but feel startled and puzzled. He then asked, "What's wrong with you two? Did something happen?" Once they noticed Master Chol was back, they came up to him in a hurry. "Professor Choi, something did indeed happen." Professor Choi, someone broke into our office and attacked us just now. You must punish him!" "What? Did such a thing really happen?" Hearing this, Master Choi looked immensely surprised. He quickly asked carefully, "Is he still here? What is going on? Tell me in detail." Professor Choi, here's the thing. Just now, Felicity brought a strange man with her and broke into our office rashly... Betty immediately started to speak up. Just then, Fade heard Flynt's footsteps and walked out of the office. He smiled slightly and greeted, "Master Choi, you are back. After noticing Fade, Master Choi immediately came up to him with a big smile on his face, "Fade, you're here. I'm really sorry. There were some things I had to attend at the university today. Hence, I changed the location and had you come over to the school from the Imperial Hospital. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Fade shrugged, "Master Chol, I'm here to ask for your help. I should be the one troubling you. You are being too polite." Tenant and Betty were dumbfounded when they heard the close conversation between Master Choi and Fade. The words they were about to say were stuck in their throats, and they soon found that they couldn't say anything anymore. After Master Choi and Fade exchanged a few words with each other, Master Choi shifted his gaze back to the duo and asked, "Do continue what you were saying. What happened just now?" "Professor Choi, this... we... The two stuttered as they stood up. Their expressions were a little unnatural. What's the matter? Is there anything wrong? Why aren't you continuing?" They didn't dare to speak up, and their expressions were growing more grimmer Master Choi asked. by the second. Meanwhile, Fade snorted and walked forward, smirking as he said, "Mr. Liu, Miss Zhang, since the two of you are tongue-tied, let me speak on your behalf." Upon hearing his words, their expression suddenly changed and their faces turned pale. Master Choi also noticed the sarcasm in Fade's words. In particular, the way he addressed them by honorifics was particularly harsh to hear. As a result, Master Choi looked at both parties and asked, "The troublemaker you just mentioned is Fade here, isn't it?" "Um, th-this... Betty was at a momentary loss for words. Beside her, Tenant hurriedly tried to clear up the situation, "Professor Chol, th- this is a misunderstanding. We didn't know about Mr. Chen's identity just now. That was why we stopped him from entering your office. We'll apologize to Mr. Chen now." Then, Tenant quickly tugged Betty's sleeve. The two of them bowed deeply to Fade and apologized.

"As a president of a student union, you flaunted your privileges and abused your power. What is this all about? I can't even fathom how many people are going to suffer if you actually manage to enter government positions in the future!" Betty and Tenant's faces turned pale as they hurriedly apologized. "Professor Choi, we are wrong." "Professor Choi, we won't do it again. Please give us a chance and forgive us." "This will never happen again. We promise."
