Chapter 1741 Hadley turned around and glared at Lexus as he shouted sternly, "If you don't want to get our whole clan killed, shut up right now." "Master Xu, you don't have to do this. No matter how powerful he is, he can only kill me at most. Would he dare to attack the entire Ice Lake Clan?" Lexus shouted back. Hadley slapped him and snapped, "Shut up, you ungrateful brat. How dare you talk to Master Chen like this?" "Master Chen?" Lexus repeated in confusion. Hadley then explained through clenched teeth. The man before you is Fade, the No.1 on the Dragon List. He is also known as Master Chen, a young Martial Arts Master. Upon hearing this, Lexus instantly fell into shock. "No.1 on the Dragon List, a young Martial Arts Master. Could he be Fade, the one who had defeated Faxon?" "That Heaven Level young Martial Arts Master who isn't even twenty-five years old!" With Fade's identity being laid out, not only the people of the Ice Lake Clan, but also the guests around were stunned. Even if they were not martial artists, they knew what a young Martial Arts Master meant. In martial arts, only those who had reached the Heaven Level could be acknowledged as one. Fade was a young Martial Arts Master, which not only showed his strength, but also his great potential. Everyone finally understood why he dared to say that the Ice Lake Clan was not even worth men boasting. his eyes. He had only been tell the tru not The guests couldn't stop gushing in awe. The three families and the Zhou family members were all stunned at the moment. Their bodies were stiff in place, and they could no longer speak. When the identities of Fade, where he was the instructor of Stealth, or the vice president of Fel Enterprises Holdings Inc. had been exposed, they were still expecting the Tao family or the Ice Lake Clan to turn the tables and defeat him. However, they were now clear that they had no chance at all. A Martial Arts Master, not to mention their so-called several large families, even with the Ice Lake Clan and the strength of the East Lake District, could not defeat Fade. This was the power of a Martial Arts Master. Hadley quickly turned to Lexus and shouted, "Now that you know about Master Chen's identity, you'd better apologize quickly!" Lexus came to his senses immediately. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fade as an apology. "Master Chen, it's my fault that I've failed to recognize who you were. I was wrong. "Really? What did you do wrong?" Fade snorted coldly. "I shouldn't have attacked you, Master Chen. I should not have favored my daughter's act of killing. I should not have taught my daughter poorly and allowed her to do such a heartless act." When faced with a Martial Arts Master, Lexus was no longer as tough as he was a moment ago. "Apologizing is barely enough!" Fade replied blandly. Lexus' face turned pale at his words. He gritted his teeth and slapped his other leg. With a snap, his left leg was also broken. "That's not enough." Lexus' face paled even further. He glanced at Hadley, and in the end, he slammed his palm down on his Dantian abdomen. With a light thud, Lexus' Dantian had been broken, and his many years of cultivation all went to waste in an instant. His face turned pale and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Upon seeing this, Fade let out a soft snort and turned his gaze away. Lexus knew that he had passed this test and survived. He could not help but take a deep breath as he fell limp onto the ground. Fade then turned to look at Eudora, the three large families, and the Zhou family. Each of their expressions had changed drastically, and they did not dare to meet his gaze. They knelt down immediately to admit their mistakes, being extremely respectful. "Mr. Chen, the Xu family was wrong." "Master Chen, the Han family knows that we are wrong and dares not to do it again." "I, Eudora, and the Tao family know that we've made a mistake. Master Chen, please punish us." "T-The Zhou family knows we're wrong too." Fade glanced at them and replied coldly, "All of you are from large families. You look down on ordinary people and bully them. "Since that's the case, then I'll punish each of your families. You need to sponsor one billion yuan and donate it to the poor villages like Spirit Bird Village in East Lake District. Do something good for the ordinary people." "Are you all willing to do it?" None of the few great families dared to disagree. All of them nodded without a second thought. "Yes, yes!" "Remember, don't attempt to pull any tricks. If I find out later that you have not done it, you know what the consequences will be!" Fade snorted. "We'll make sure it's done, that's for sure!" He and Quin then turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she looked in the direction of Taegan and said, "Old Master Zhou, on behalf of my father, I wish you a happy birthday. Farewell!" Taegan's expression fell, and his emotions surged. There were countless things he wanted to say, but no words came out of his mouth. As for Fade and Quin, they had already turned around and walked outside. When they reached the door, he thought of something suddenly and took out a small box. He threw it to Walker and said, "You can have this. Cultivate hard and don't get involved in these matters again. Don't bring shame to Stealth." The guests present recognized the small box. It was originally a birthday gift from Fade and Quin to Taegan. Later on, the Zhou family returned it in fear of being implicated by him. Thus, Fade gave it to Walker. "Yes, Instructor Chen! Walker accepted the small box, gave a salute, and watched as they left. It was only then that the crowd came to their senses slowly. Walker opened the box and began to check the things inside the box. After all, he didn't know anything about the contents of the box. As a result, when Walker saw that there were some pills in the small box, he was shocked. He took out a pill and sniffed it. "The spiritual energy is quite abundant. It seems good." He was right. Hadley, who was next to him, opened his eyes wide with a shocked and excited expression. This pill, its concentration of spiritual energy has reached the Earth Levei!" "Captain Kong, can you sell me some of the pills?" Hadley looked at him eagerly. Walker paused before he replied, "This was given to me by Master Chen... Hadley interrupted excitedly, "I can offer a high price, 30 million yuan, no, 50 million yuan. As long as you sell me three, or even two, it will be fine." When he heard the offer, Walker hesitated for a moment, but then he shook his head and answered, "Master Xu, I won't sell it." "Captain Kong, if you are not satisfied with the price, I can increase it... Hadley replied immediately. Walker shook his head and cut him off, "Master Xu, this is not about the price.. Master Chen gave it to me. You know what I mean." "Farewell!" After that, he took the small box and left excitedly.
Chapter 1742 Hadley shook his head with a regretful expression, and left with the people from the Ice Lake Clan. When the guests in the hall saw this, they couldn't help but look at the Zhou family members, and their eyes filled with complex emotions. The Zhou family members themselves were dumbfounded at the moment. They didn't expect this at all. "Those pills are actually so valuable? 50 million yuan for one pill, and there are six pills in the small box; that is 300 million yuan. A casual gift can cost up to 300 million yuan, Samantha remarked. "That was just Master Xu's bid. According to him, we can continue to raise the price, Holden replied. The members of the Zhou family were all speechless at this moment. A great gift worth 300 million yuan had just been rejected by the Zhou family. Moreover, the pills were extremely scarce. Even if one had money, one might not be able to buy it. They thought of how excited they were when they received the medicine from Eudora and the Ice Lake Clan. In the end, it turned out that they turned down the real treasure. The people in the Zhou family felt immense heartache. They not only regretted not accepting the gift, but they also regretted that they failed to recognize Fade's status. As Quin's husband, he had come all the way for the birthday celebration. If only the Zhou family had treated them well. Based on the relationship between the two sides, they could've improved a lot in East Stream City, and even in East Lake District with just a word. As a result, the Zhou family not only did not grasp this great opportunity, but also offended Fade, losing a valuable asset. If it wasn't for Quin's nostalgia for the past, Fade would have attacked the Zhou family. They would not be any better off than the Tao family and the Han family. The Zhou family members sighed in regret. Taegan shook his head as he stated, "In the future, the Zhou family should keep a low profile. We should never show up in public or do anything in a high profile manner." The people of the Zhou family fell silent. They could only sigh and leave. After Fade and Quin left the Zhou family residence, they didn't stay any longer and left East Stream City. While they were in the car, Quin could not help but sigh. She turned her head and looked at East Stream City, thinking that she would probably never come back again. "What's wrong? Are you sad?" Fade held his wife's hand gently. She shook her head lightly and answered, "I can't say that I'm sad, but I'm feeling a little emotional. After all, Old Master Zhou has been my father's good friend for many years. They were very close back then. I didn't think that their relationship would turn out like this when they came to me. So... He comforted her, "Don't overthink it. The relationship between the elders doesn't have to continue. Some things will fade away. This may have been the best result. Besides, you didn't do anything wrong." "I understand. I'm just emotional." She nodded as she looked at him. "Let's go home. We've been away for long enough." He paused before nodding in agreement. "Okay!" He and Quin did not continue the tour, and returned to Dragonville. When the two of them walked along the bustling streets of Dragonville, they couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although it had been less than a year since they left, they seemed to feel that the city had changed a lot, and had become unfamiliar to them. However, when the two returned to their own villa, a familiar feeling could not help but well up in their hearts. The villa was very clean, and Housekeeper Wong had already prepared everything in advance.. Fade and Quin felt relaxed after taking a shower. They didn't go anywhere else, nor did they inform their relatives and friends that they had come back. The two of them stayed at home and had a good rest for the rest of the day. The next day, Quin got busy again Instead of cultivating, she rushed to the company to check up on how it was doing. After all, the end of the year was approaching, and she had left for a long time. In addition, Lily was in charge of the company in Capital City, thus, she needed to find out more about Dragonville's headquarters. Fade was not like his wife, who was crazy about cultivation. When he saw that she had already started to deal with other things, he felt a little happy, thus, he went to the company with her. As there was no prior notice, when Quin and Fade appeared in the company, It caused quite a commotion. She gathered the higher-ups of the company in the conference room quickly for a meeting. He was not interested in these things, so he did not attend the meeting. He wandered around the company. While wandering around, he came to the company's treatment room. Thinking that when he first entered the company, he was working in the treatment room, he could not help but feel slightly nostalgic as he wandered in it. The medical room was much larger than the one in Bay City, and it had more equipment as well. Of course, there were more people working here. When Fade walked in, a nurse asked in surprise, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" He shook his head and answered, "I'm fine. I'm just wandering around." *Just wandering around. This... The nurse trailed off, glaring at him. She was about to drive him away. At this moment, someone cried out in surprise. "Brother Chen, you're back! Fade turned his head and saw a lively, round-faced girl standing before him. She had a round face like a squirrel, and had a ponytail at the back of her head, which allowed him to recognize her quickly. "Xenia, it's you!" "President Chen, you still remember me!" She answered with a smile. "Well, don't call me President Chen. Just call me Brother Chen!" He returned her smile. He saw there was a medical room director's name tag hanging on her chest. He couldn't help laughing, "Xenia, you've been promoted! Now that you're a director, you're able to control people. "Even if I'm promoted, I'm still your subordinate, Brother Chen, she answered with a smile. Her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out, and her eyes lit up upon checking her phone. She pulled him and left. "Brother Chen, you're back just in time. Can you do me a favor?" While in the medical room, looking at the backs of Xenia and Fade, the nurses couldn't help whispering to each other. "Who was that person? He seemed to be very close to Miss Xu. Could he be her boyfriend?" "I don't think so. If he was her boyfriend, she would have mentioned him a lot. However, Miss Xu said that she didn't have a boyfriend." "What are you thinking? He's President Chen. The vice president of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, and also the husband of President Quin. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful that you don't get fired for spreading this nonsense."
Chapter 1743 The nurses all fell into shock upon hearing those words. "He's Mr. Chen? I can't believe it!" "He's President Lin's husband. Miss Xu won't have a chance!" "I heard that Mr. Chen is very powerful. He used to..." The girls then started to talk about Fade's former achievements. In the corridor, Xenia pulled Fade along as they ran. He could not help but ask, "Xenia, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?' She then answered, "The job seekers are coming, and I'm going to interview them." "An Interview? Isn't that done by the HR department? Since when were you interviewing people?" He asked in confusion. She rolled her eyes at him. "Among the interviewers, there are applicants for our medical room. As the director of the medical room, of course I have to go to the interview personally" "Oh, I see!" She had already pulled him into a conference room. In the room, there were two people sitting there. There was a man and a woman, both in their thirties or forties. When they saw Xenia entering, the two of them greeted her immediately. "Miss Xu, you're here!" "Miss Xu, please take a seat. It's about to start." Xenia nodded to them and introduced them to Fade. "She is Miranda Wang, the recruitment supervisor of the HR department. He is Willard Zhuang, the deputy general manager of the marketing department." Fade had no impression of these two, and were also not familiar with him. either. At this time, Willard couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xu, this is..." Xenia answered, "He's Fade, our..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Fade. He smiled and answered, "I used to be an old employee in the clinic. I worked for a period of time and quit." "Oh!" Willard regarded him with confusion written all over his face. "However, we're interviewing now. Miss Xu, you..." Xenia understood the meaning behind his words. She glanced at Fade and answered, "Mr. Chen's medical skills are very good. I invited him over to give some opinions on recruiting people. "Oh, I see." Willard nodded and fell silent. At this time, the applicants outside came over. Miranda then said, "Miss Xu, Mr. Zhuang, let's begin!" The first candidate entered. He was a fresh graduate. He came in with a resume. When he saw that there were four interviewers, he suddenly grew nervous. Miranda asked a few questions, and asked about some basic information. After learning that the candidate was here to apply for the position in the medical room, her gaze turned to Xenia. Obviously, the following specialized knowledge would have to be asked by the relevant departments. Instead, Xenia nudged Fade gently and said, "Brother Chen, you can ask some questions? He nodded and began to ask, "You mentioned that you are a graduate of traditional Chinese medicine, so I will ask you a few simple questions." "Name ten herbs for fever relieving, name ten herbs for flu relieving, and list five acupoints each on the head, chest, and back of the human body. The candidate was a little nervous. He paused for a moment before he began to answer, "The fever relieving herbs are mainly gypsum rubrum, rhizoma anemarrhenae, reed rhizome..." "The flu relieving herbs are mainly ephedra, cassia twig, perilla leaf... "In terms of acupoints, the head has Baihul acupoint, Fengchi acupoint, Tianzhu acupoint... Although the candidate was slightly nervous, he still did a good job. In the end, he managed to answer all of Fade's questions. Fade then ended the interviews, but did not give the results immediately. He interviewed several candidates for the medical room. Xenia left all the professional questions to him. After comparison, the boy at the beginning had the best overall performance because his professional knowledge was strong. In the end, Fade and Xenia decided to recruit the first candidate. After telling Miranda about the results, the people in the HR department handled the position and the salary of the candidate. The candidate had been confirmed for the medical department. The next person would be interviewed for the marketing department, which Willard was. responsible for. Initially, Fade had wanted to leave after that. However, he decided to stay and check on how his employees handled recruitment. Compared to the medical room, where there were only four people applying for the job, there were more people applying for the marketing department. After all, those who majored in management were much more numerous than those who majored in traditional Chinese medicine. After that, it was all up to Miranda and Willard. Fade and Xenia sat aside and watched quietly. They did not express any opinions. Willard conducted the interview very quickly. After asking some technical terms and methods of marketing, he wrote down his evaluations and handed them to Miranda immediately. Fade did not agree with his interview method, but he did not say anything. After all, he was not a professional in the field. Soon, more than a dozen people had been interviewed. Miranda scored points for the candidates roughly, and she already had some candidates in her mind. The last candidate came in. She was Vivian, a young girl who was dressed in a very fashionable way, and she didn't look like a freshman in college. "Why don't you introduce yourself?" Miranda started. Vivian raised a brow as she replied, "I feel like this is a complete waste of time. There's no need for me to introduce myself at all. I am qualified for your job." Upon hearing this answer, all of them raised their eyebrows, and their expressions changed. Miranda put down her pen, looked at her, and asked, "You mentioned that you are capable of doing this job, I would like to ask you, why do you think so?" Vivian laughed and threw out her certificate. "Because I'm a graduate of a master's degree at the University of Technology Dragonville. Miranda checked the certificate and did not say anything. She put it aside. Fade could not help but whisper to Xenia. "Vivian looks awesome. Is the University of Technology Dragonville very good?" "What? They can only be considered second-rate in Dragonville. They can't compare to students like Bay City University and Dragonville University at all. Of course, the decision to hire her is based mainly on her ability, not her education. "She's so confident, so she must be very good!" "I suppose so. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to be so bold." On the other side, Miranda asked a few basic questions and Vivian answered them all accordingly. "Do you have any experience of working or working as an intern?" "No, I just graduated this year. This is my first job." "You've never worked as an intern in college?" "It's a small company arranged by the university. It was such a measly job, so I didn't go. "Do you have any awards or achievements in your studies or in your fields?" "What you said is nothing more than memorizing the contents of books to death. I don't care about those things. I am a free woman.
Chapter 1744 After a few questions, Miranda had already rejected Vivian in her heart. She was very arrogant, but she didn't have anything to prove for it. She was just being ridiculous. She turned to look at Willard. She waited for him to ask a few professional questions before she prepared to chase her out. He nodded and cleared his throat. He said to Vivian, "Our Marketing Department needs to be responsible for the research of the company's market. Please tell us how to do market research!" "This is too simple. Observation, experiment, interview, and questionnaire!" Vivian answered arrogantly. "Well, not bad!" Willard listened and looked very satisfied. After a few rare compliments, he continued to ask more questions. She answered them one by one successfully. As a result, he became excited as he listened. He was all smiles and even clapped his hands. He replied with a smile, "Good, your answers are very good, I am very satisfied." "Madam Wang, I'll recruit her as a member of the marketing department," Willard announced the result on the spot. Hearing this, Miranda stopped writing and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Her? Are you sure?" Fade and Xenia were also confused at this moment. They looked at each other and whispered. "Mr. Zhuang seems to be very excited. Did this girl answer very well? Why do I feel that the ones before her were better than her?" "That's right. There are a few answers that have been answered correctly by the others. Mr. Zhuang wasn't even that excited!" "Perhaps this is something related to their field!" Thinking of this, although Fade had doubts, he did not say anything. Willard clapped his hands at this moment and talked to Miranda, "I'm sure that she's a talent, a rare talent. Our company can't miss her." After that, with an eager look, he looked at Vivian and asked, "Vivian, are you willing to join the marketing department of our company?" She answered with a proud face, "I can join, but I have some requirements. Of course, my requirements are not high. I hope that after entering the company, I can be in the supervisory position of the company. My monthly salary should be at least 30 thousand yuan. As for other benefits, I also have..." Hearing this, Miranda could not help but put down the pen in her hand. Fade and Xenia were also surprised. Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc was one of the top large companies in Dragonville, and the salary was relatively high. However, Vivian asked for a starting pay of 30 thousand yuan and requested to be in the supervisory position, which was far beyond the standard of a freshman of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. If she was capable enough and made any special contributions, they could give her a salary of 30 thousand. It was just that Fade had only noticed arrogance and self-righteousness in her, he didn't see any special abilities. It was not only Fade and Xenia who thought so. Miranda could not help but frown slightly. She looked at Vivian and explained patiently, "Vivian, according to the principles of our company, freshmen have to start from the basics." "You don't have relevant work experience. I'm afraid it's impossible if you want to be a supervisor as soon as you enter the company." "30 thousand monthly salary, that's already the salary of a vice director. I don't think your performance was qualified for that." After Miranda finished, Vivian frowned immediately. "Don't forget, I'm a graduate student from the University of Technology Dragonville. With my educational background, I don't think it's very demanding for me to be a supervisor and get a monthly salary of 30 thousand yuan. "Is that so? I'm afraid that our company won't be able to match your expectations, Miranda replied in a low voice. Following this, she looked at Vivian. It was obvious that she was trying to chase her away. Vivian seemed to have not expected this result and she was stunned on the spot. She looked at Willard, who was next to her, "Mr. Zhuang, I... He cleared his throat when he heard that. "Madam Wang." Willard said to Miranda, "A freshman as a supervisor with a salary of 30 thousand yuan seems to be a bit high, but she is a talented person at the same time. If we don't take her in, it'll be a huge loss to our company." "Mr. Zhuang, I don't think she has... Miranda wanted to continue. Before she could finish, Willard interrupted her. "Madam Wang, it's better to let our professional staff judge the contents for the best. I think this candidate is very suitable. I'm determined to hire her." "Well... Miranda didn't expect him to be so stubborn. She sighed, "Since Mr. Zhuang has insisted, I will hire her. However, if she doesn't meet the standards of the assessment, or if the higher-ups blame her, Mr. Zhuang..." "I understand. If there's a problem, I'll take responsibility for it! Willard promised and took the initiative to take out the contract. He waved to Vivian and asked her to come over, "You've been employed, come and sign the contract!" She walked forward with a proud face, took the pen, and was ready to sign the contract. At this time, Fade, who was on the side, stopped them coldly, "Wait a minute!" When they heard him, everyone turned to look at him. Willard frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?" Fade looked at him coldly, glanced at Vivian again, then continued coldly. "The company shouldn't hire such people, not to mention give her the supervisor position and monthly salary of 30 thousand yuan." Willard frowned when he heard this. He looked at Xenia, "Miss Xu, this is my marketing department's business. Since when was it up to an outsider to give an opinion?" Xenia remained silent. Fade snorted coldly and answered, "I will intervene in unfair matters, so what?" "You..." Willard waved his hand and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Ask the security guard to come and take him away." He had a disdainful expression on his face. At this moment, Vivian also had a proud look on her face. She looked at Fade and sneered, "What, are you worried that someone like me will enter the company and grab your position? Don't worry, according to your current performance, when I enter the company, I will suggest firing you immediately." "Fire me? You are not qualified to do that!" Fade replied coldly. Willard snorted and stood up. "She doesn't have that qualification, but I do! Whether you have resigned or not, I can assure you that you won't be able to work in any company's medical room in Dragonville in the future." "You brat, you... have been banned!" He continued in a proud voice. Hearing this, Fade shook his head and talked to Miranda, "Madam Wang of the HR department, right? Now, inform the HR department to fire Willard immediately, and make an announcement to the whole industry. "This..." Miranda was a little stunned as she looked at Fade in surprise. Xenia then explained to her, and her expression changed drastically as she quickly searched for her phone.
Chapter 1745 However, Willard was still oblivious as to what was going on. With a proud expression, he glanced at Fade and sneered, "Are you firing me? I am the vice director of the marketing team, what can you do to me? ...." Just as he was speaking arrogantly, his cell phone rang all of a sudden. He turned on the speaker. A cold voice came from the other end of the phone. "Willard, the HR department is officially informing you now. You have been fired by the company, so please pack up immediately "What's going on? How could I be fired? Did you guys make a mistake? I... He tried to explain. In an instant, Vivian exclaimed, "How could you fire my Uncle?" Fade and the rest understood instantly why Willard had been so optimistic about the girl, and why he was willing to offer such a high salary. It turned out that she was his niece. After confirming the incident, Fade snorted coldly and said to Miranda, "From today onwards, the company will conduct a thorough investigation of everyone in the company. Once something like this happens, all the employees involved will be fired. If something similar happens in the future, you will be fired as well." "Yes, I will investigate it strictly. I will never allow something like this to happen again." She nodded quickly, and watched as Fade and Xenia left the conference room. Meanwhile, Willard was still in a state of confusion. He looked at her and asked, "Madam Wang, is there something wrong? That brat..." Miranda quickly cut him off, "Mr. Zhuang, you'd better behave now and shut up. Pack your things and leave." "If you continue to make a scene, it won't be as simple as expulsion. It's a question of whether you'll survive: Willard's face paled with fright, and he shook his head immediately, "Miranda, don't scare me. He's just a guy who had already resigned. How would he be able to deal with me? I'm going to court to make a lawsuit. I don't believe that you can do whatever you want..." Vivian also spoke out excitedly, "Uncle, this is a violation of labor law. We must fight to the end." Upon hearing Willard's words, Miranda looked at him, and lowered her voice. "Mr. Zhuang, let me remind you that Mr. Chen's full name is Fade Chen. He used to work in both the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Dragonville, and the medical room of Bay City, and he later resigned." After finishing her words, Miranda turned around and left. Willard was pondering over her words with a frown. Vivian didn't take it seriously and remarked, "What's the point of talking so much? No matter what, he's just a resigned employee. It's no big deal." Just then, Willard suddenly realized something. His expression fell as he exclaimed, "Fade, Fade Chen? President Lin's... As he thought of this, he remembered that Quin had come to the company and gathered the company's top management for a meeting. Coupled with Fade's matter, Willard confirmed his identity immediately. "It's really him, really.... Vivian was still a little confused as she asked him, "Uncle, what's wrong with you? What do you mean by Fade, President Lin, and so on?" Willard glared at her instantly and shouted in a low voice, "Stop talking, or we'll both be screwed." "Uncle, what do you mean by that?" "Fade is President Lin's husband, as well as the vice president of our company. Other than that, he is also the top martial arts master in our province. Even the Sun family has surrendered to him. When she heard this, she was dumbfounded. "H-He's really powerful." Willard's expression was grim as he said, "We almost made a big mistake this time. It's a great blessing that we were able to keep our lives. "Don't look for me anymore when you're looking for a job. Go and look for one yourself!" "Uncle, how could there be a job suitable for me? Those wages are too low, I don't want to do it!" She replied unhappily. Willard became furious when he heard this. "If you don't want to work, you can go home and spend the rest of your life with your parents. Do you really think that you have a good degree? There are plenty of graduates of your level. Do you want 30 thousand yuan? Dream on." "Uncle, how could you say that about me... She felt a little wronged. He interrupted her impatiently. "It's good enough that I didn't hit you. It's bad enough that you were so arrogant, you've even caused me to lose my job. I won't help you at all in the future. Do as you please!" He then turned around and left. Vivian's expression quickly fell, but she could only stamp her feet and leave. At noon, after Quin's meeting, she and Fade had a meal together at the company and returned to the villa in the afternoon. Momo had returned. She was on winter break. When she heard that Fade and Quin were back, she rushed to the villa without even setting down her luggage. "Quin, it's been a while. I've missed you so much." As soon as she rushed in, she threw down her luggage and gave Quin a big hug. After the two hugged each other, Momo finally let go of her. She looked at Fade and stretched out her arms, rushing over. When Fade saw this, he was stunned. Was she going to hug him in front of Quin? It didn't seem appropriate! However, it was okay to give her a hug out of courtesy, right? A lot of thoughts came to his mind. In the end, he decided to welcome her hug. After all, it had been a long time since he last saw her. As a result, he opened his arms and was ready to welcome her into his arms. However, she stopped right before him, reached behind him, and took out a cute doll. She held it in her arms as she said, "Hi, my doll, it's been a while." After getting intimate with the doll, Momo widened her eyes in surprise as she looked at Fade. "Fade, you're back too?" "You..." He felt that his eyelids were twitching. "Fade, why do you have your arms open?" Momo exclaimed in surprise. "Do you want to hug me? Fade, you're a big man. How dare you think of something like that? You're taking advantage of me!" "Quin is still here, and yet you dare to do that. If she wasn't here, wouldn't you be... With that, she held the doll in her arms and hid behind Quin. "Quin, Fade has bad intentions towards me. Look..." "Quin, I..." He let out a few hollow laughs and felt that his scalp was throbbing with anger.
Chapter 1746 Momo then winked at Fade and stuck her tongue out, further infuriating him. He wanted nothing more than to punish her right at that moment. Quin smiled. "You two aren't children anymore, yet you're still playing around like this!" "Quin, I was just kidding. Look at Fade, he's really mad. He's too narrow minded." Momo pursed her lips. As soon as Fade had returned, she had already angered him. After that, she settled herself down in the villa. "Quin, Fade, my dad is away on a business trip during this period of time, so I won't go home. I'll stay with you guys! "Okay, sure." Quin nodded with a smile. Therefore, the three of them stayed in the villa. It made them feel like they had returned to the villa in Bay City. However, the three of them had changed a lot. Fade was no longer the rash kid who had just come down from the mountain. Quin was no longer a cold-blooded workaholic. She was a little gentler, and spent a lot of her time on cultivation, consolidating the Black Level of martial arts that she had just reached. On the other hand, Momo didn't seem to have changed much; she was still naughty. She grabbed Fade and Quin and asked them a lot of questions. She asked about what they had seen along the way, and asked about their experience in Capital City. In the end, she looked at Quin and asked with interest, "Quin, you're also a martial artist now? How do you feel about your cultivation?" Quin smiled lightly and nodded. "Nothing much. There's energy surging in my dantian abdomen. This aura makes me feel more tic." "Abdomen, dantian, energy. Momo pondered on her words and reached out her hand to touch Quin's lower abdomen. "Don't touch me!" Quin patted her hand away. The little goblin's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Quin, I feel like your little belly is bulging and hot. Is there something wrong with your energy? Are you pregnant?" These words shocked Quin and Fade so much that they froze in place, not knowing what to say. They couldn't understand why Momo would suddenly change the topic to being pregnant when they were talking about the cultivation of martial arts. After a pause, Quin came back to her senses. She glared at Momo. "Don't talk nonsense. "Quin, I'm telling the truth, you and Fade have already gotten married for so long. It's almost been two years, right? Why aren't there any developments? Don't you both want children?" Momo asked. Quin's face flushed when she heard the question. She glared at her and went back to her room. "Don't ask any more questions. It's getting late so I'm going to rest." "Quin, don't be mad. I'm just asking." Momo shouted from behind her. As a result, after Quin left, Momo's gaze fell on Fade. She looked at him strangely. He couldn't help but ask, "Momo, what are you looking at?" She leaned over, lowered her voice, and asked him, "Fade, Quin hasn't been pregnant for so long. Is it because of you?" He was stunned, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, indicating his irritation. "Little brat, you deserve a beating." He grabbed at her while speaking. Momo quickly ran away, but she could not escape Fade's pursuit. His big hands reached out and caught her. He pressed her on his legs, raised his right hand, and slapped her buttocks. "If you talk nonsense again you'll be beaten, understand?" She screamed as she was hit. She struggled to get up, but she could not get out of his control. "Fade, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that it was your problem. You're very strong in that aspect, you really are!" She shouted out loud, but her words sounded a little strange and ambiguous. "You are still talking nonsense. I'll teach you a lesson." Fade slapped her. As they fought, he found that she had quietened down gradually. She did not struggle or make any noise, which surprised him. He was worried that he had beaten her too hard and hurt her. He looked down and found that the Momo's pretty face was rosy, and her eyes were teary. She bit down on her lips gently, and she hummed lightly occasionally. Fade was stunned upon seeing her face, and his expression fell. He thought of something and put the her down quickly. He got up and cleared his throat. "I've finished teaching you a lesson, I'm going back to my room to rest." He then left immediately. Momo's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but touch the place where she had been hit. She bit her lip and whispered to herself, "Why did I feel that way? Fade was hitting me!" The next morning, after having breakfast, he drove away with Momo. In the vehicle, Momo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, moved from time to time, looking very unsettled. Seeing this, he couldn't help remind her, "Momo, sit properly. Don't move around. Upon hearing this, she glared at him and replied, "It's all because of what you did last night, Fade. You hurt my private parts so much. How can I sit down?" He knew that she was talking about the previous day's incident, however, when her words fell into the ears of others, it was difficult not to misunderstand them. Someone looked at them with amazement and began to talk about it. "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, d*mn. They're really something else!" "Laying hands on his sister-in-law, how shameless. What scum!" "That young girl is so pretty! That man is too blessed." Fade fell speechless. He stepped on the gas pedal quickly and drove at a faster speed. "Fade, what are you doing? Why are you speeding up like this? I haven't recovered yet!" Momo was shocked by his sudden acceleration. He didn't dare to continue talking about the previous topic. He coughed and changed the subject. "Momo, are you going to your classmate's house today?" "Well, it's one of my seniors at Bay City University. She usually takes good care of me. Her grandfather passed away. We have made an appointment with a few good classmates to come and visit together to comfort her." At this point, her mood sank. Soon, the car arrived at a county town in the north of Dragonville. Although it belonged to Dragonville, it was basically a suburb. Therefore, many people wore mourning clothes because of the funeral.
Chapter 1747 When Fade and Momo arrived, they saw that there were many flowers in front of a three-story building, and many people wearing white scarves came in and out from the building. There was somber music playing in the room, which made people feel sad. The two got out of the car and found Momo's classmate, Valerie, with whom she had made an appointment. They tidied up their clothes and went into the house. In the lobby of the house, there was an old man's photo, and a candle was lit above it. After paying their respects to the old man, Valerie led them upstairs to a room and began chatting. The topic of the conversation was about how to comfort her, hoping that she would be able to relax a little. After chatting for a while, they heard a commotion downstairs. They went to the balcony and looked down, only to find a group of people gathering at the door and quarreling with each other. When Valerie saw this, her expression changed, and she went downstairs quickly. "Why has Aunt Hillary come to make trouble again?" When Fade and Momo saw this, they looked at each other in dismay. They then went downstairs instantly. As Valerie went downstairs, more people gathered at the door. They surrounded a middle-aged woman in her fifties and kept whispering. The middle-aged woman was wearing a white headscarf. She sat on the ground and cried. "All of you have no conscience. Dad is not dead. You are going to kill him!" "Hillary, Grandpa has passed away. I know that you're sad, but you need to stop making a scene." "Hillary, with so many people watching, just let Dad go with peace of mind." "Hillary, stop crying. I know of your feelings for the Old Master, but he can't come back to life after he dies. Please accept my condolences!" After watching, Fade and the others had a rough idea of what was going on. It turned out to be Hillary, the eldest daughter of the Old Master, who claimed that he was not dead, and insisted on preventing her family from sending him to the funeral center for cremation. The other relatives of the Old Master were unable to persuade her, so a quarrel began. Even after persuasion, Hillary still insisted that the Old Master did not die, and she did not allow anyone to leave. Just as the crowd was getting impatient and was prepared to carry her away, a monk in a robe came over. Hillary rushed to the monk immediately. She hugged his legs and cried, "Master, save my dad quickly. They said that my dad is dead. They want to kill my dad. Please save him!" The monk smiled and helped Hillary to her feet. He replied, "Madam Wang, please get up. I'm here. You don't have to worry about this. I'll settle this." As he said that, he held her as they walked to the door together. When the other relatives of the Old Master saw this, they couldn't help but frown in disdain. "What's Hillary doing? Wasn't it enough to make a fuss? Now she's even got a monk!" "She is never going to let the Old Master leave in peace." During the discussion, the monk came to the front of the crowd. After bowing and saluting, he spoke out, I was entrusted by Madam Wang to come and help Saabir Wang transcend." Although this monk looked kind and friendly, the family members of the Old Master were hostile towards him. "What transcendence? In my opinion, this guy is just a scammer." "Hillary is so stupid. How could she trust a charlatan like this? She even invited him to her house." "The funeral house has been waiting for a long time. The driver is getting impatient." Amidst the discussion, the crowd had no intention of letting the monk enter the room. Hillary grew anxious immediately. The master is here. Why aren't you making way for him? Let him go in and take a look." "Dad is not dead. The master claimed that he has a way to save Dad's life." Several people frowned, and were ready to forcefully drive him away. At this moment, the monk spoke, "Sir and Madam, I understand your worries, but please don't worry. No matter what the outcome is, I will not take a single cent from you. I come with good intentions to save the life of Saabir Wang. "My dad is dead, how can you save him?" Valerie's father asked with a frown. Upon hearing this, Hillary immediately grew anxious. "Dad is not dead. I saw it with my own eyes. He is not dead. Are you cursing him to die?" "Hillary, the doctors in the hospital have given a diagnosis. Dad is already dead, stop causing us trouble," Valerie's father replied. "I saw him move yesterday. He is not dead. You just want to kill him," Hillary retorted. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the relatives next to them tried to persuade them. "Stop arguing. Now that the monk said he didn't want money, just let him in and have a look!" "That's right. After the monk has had a look, Hillary will accept reality and won't make trouble anymore." "Let's wait and see. I don't know how long it will last if we continue to argue like this." After some persuasion, he finally agreed to let Hillary and the monk go in and see the old man together. The old man's coffin was placed at the back of the house, which was provided by the funeral center. The lid on the coffin was transparent. It could be seen that the old man was lying inside with his eyes closed. Upon seeing the coffin, Hillary rushed over and burst into tears. She was trying to open the lid with her hands, and was trying to pull the not dead. Hurry up and pull him out of the coffin." man out. Dad is "Hillary, what the hell are you doing? Don't you want Dad to die Valerie's father questioned. "Hillary, stop it. Grandpa has passed away" The crowd worked together to stop Hillary. At this time, the kind-eyed monk came forward and glanced at the old man in the coffin. He closed his eyes and murmured some words. Hillary looked excitedly at the monk who was reading scriptures. When the monk opened his eyes, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master, is my father all right? You can save him, right? You can." The monk nodded and answered, "The old man is not dead yet. I can save him." Upon hearing this, she became excited immediately. "Master, please save my father. I beg you, as long as you can save my father, Master, I will give you anything you want." The other family members couldn't help but frown. They looked at the monk with wary eyes. They had clearly seen him as a scammer. The monk did not take action instantly, but instead he looked around the crowd, "I know that you may not believe my words. Please be patient. You will see the truth for yourselves." After that, the monk turned to Hillary. "Madam Wang, can you tell us why you are sure that your father is not dead? What did you see at that time? Tell us what happened at that time!" Upon hearing that, she nodded and stood up. Her eyes flashed as she began to recall the situation at that time.
Chapter 1748 "That was the night that we came back from the hospital, when the doctors claimed that he was dead, and we brought him home." "I was on watch. In the second half of the night, I was in a slight daze and almost fell asleep. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise that woke me up." "I looked up and found that my father who was lying in the coffin was moving. His face was red, and he was tapping the lid of the coffin with his hand." "I was stunned at that time. When I came to my senses and wanted to open the lid to let my dad out, he had already laid back down. There were no movements after that. I shouted at him, but he didn't respond. "Afterwards, I told this incident to my younger brothers, but they didn't believe what I said at all." After Hillary finished speaking, many people present felt a chill in their hearts. Their expressions became a little strange. Hillary's younger brother frowned, "Hillary, you said that you were almost asleep at that time. You might've been hallucinating. You probably didn't see Dad come back to life at all." "That's impossible. It was definitely not a dream. I remember very clearly that the sound of Dad slapping the coffin was very loud. He patted it six or seven times. Moreover, at that time, Dad's face was red, and he looked even healthier than normal people." "Aunt, we have invited a doctor for an investigation later. Grandpa has already passed away. The things you said are impossible." Valerie piped up. "I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be fake!" Hillary shook her head furiously. It seemed that they were about to quarrel again. However, at this moment, the monk stood up with a smile. "Madam Wang, please calm down. Everyone will know if Old Master is dead or not soon after I make my move." As he spoke, he walked to the front of the coffin, preparing to cast spells, Upon seeing this, Valerie's father frowned and wanted to go forward to stop him, however, he was stopped by the relative next to him. He persuaded him, "Let the monk have a try. If not, Hillary will not give up and will continue to make trouble." The crowd then watched as the monk chanted quickly with his eyes closed. His mouth moved quickly, and his words were incomprehensible. Everyone's gazes fell on the monk. However, after reading for four or five minutes, there were still no changes. Valerie's father was already starting to grow impatient. He frowned and stepped forward, about to drag the monk away. "Enough, Dad has already... Before he could finish his sentence, the monk opened his eyes at this moment and pointed to the coffin with his right hand. He cried aloud, "Live!" With this stern cry from the monk, the coffin seemed to vibrate a little. With a "bang", the sound of a collision echoed in the room. In an instant, all the people present quieted down and looked at the coffin in amazement. Under everyone's watchful gaze, under the transparent lid of the coffin, the old man raised his right hand and tapped the lid of the coffin. Several thuds were heard. At the same time, the old man's face looked lively, like a living person, and his face was bright red. The crowd stared at the coffin in shock, unable to muster any words. Many people's faces turned pale as they staggered and trembled. They were frightened. Even Momo and a few of her classmates, although they were university students who believed in science, were stunned by such a strange scene. In an instant the temperature in the house dropped. Everyone seemed to have been frozen on the spot. They were extremely shocked. Hillary was the first to come to her senses. She rushed over and was about to open the coffin while crying. "Dad is not dead. He is not dead. You all saw that Dad is not dead. Hurry up and save him!" Her words brought the rest back to reality, but their faces were still pale and their eyes were full of shock. "How... How was that possible? The hospital has examined him twice. The old man is already dead. How could it be..." Valerie's father's face was filled with disbelief. "Could it be that he's a zombie?" Someone whispered. "Crowing corpses has a scientific explanation. It's the gas and nerve inside the corpse that caused the corpse's movement, Valerie piped up. "I know that, but the so-called "crowing corpses" is nothing more than a slight movement. How could it be like this, where he has patted the lid of the coffin so many times," someone asked. "Stop talking about it. Dad is not dead. Help us release him!" Hillary was very excited. Although Valerie's father was very confused, it was indeed best to let the old man out first in the current situation. Valerie took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the doctor. Everyone looked at this scene with curiosity and fear, wondering what was going on with the Old Master. Just as the Wang family was about to open the coffin, a cold voice sounded. "Don't open the coffin." When everyone heard the voice, they could not help looking over, and they saw a young man in his twenties step forward. At this moment, when Momo saw Fade stepped out, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Fade, what are you doing?" The person who walked out was none other than Fade. "Who are you?" Hillary looked at him with a questioning look on her face. "Why won't you let us open the coffin?" He answered coldly, "Old Master is dead, and hasn't come back to life. If you open the coffin now, not only will you not be able to save him, you will also hurt yourselves! "What are you talking about, my father has moved, everyone saw it." Hillary glared at him. At this moment, the monk on the side interrupted, "Sir, saving a life is better than creating a seven-level pagoda. I'm afraid it's not very kind of you to stop me from saving his life!" Fade cast a cold glance at the monk and snapped, "Who the hell are you? I'll find out soon. "How dare you insult the master. Get the hell out of here!" Hillary was so infuriated that she pointed at Fade and scolded him angrily. Seeing that Hillary was extremely agitated, Valerie's father couldn't help frowning at this moment. He glanced at Fade and said, "Young man, we will figure it out. Please step aside!" Fade shook his head and insisted, "Opening the coffin now will only harm you and everyone. That's because inside the coffin is not your father, but something else." "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my father. You are Insulting him. Get out, get the hell out!" Hillary shouted at him in annoyance, and was about to hit him.
Chapter 1749 At this moment, Momo rushed up and pulled Fade back. She whispered, "Fade, what are you doing? Why did you do that?" He replied, "I'm telling the truth. It's just that they don't believe it." She paused before frowning. "Fade, what do you mean, that...." Before she could finish, Hillary and the others had already opened the coffin. Fade pushed Momo behind him immediately and reminded her, "You and your classmates, stay away from here. Don't get too close. It may be dangerous." "Fade, this..." She still wanted to ask more questions, however, he had already walked away. She could only believe in his words, and go somewhere further away with her classmates. With a thud, the lid of the coffin was opened. Hillary and the others helped the old man up. "Dad, are you okay?" "Dad, are you feeling any discomfort?" His sons and daughters immediately asked with concern. At this moment, the old man didn't reply. He stood there in a daze, like a motionless puppet. However, the old man's face was getting redder. There was a healthy reddish glow to his face previously, but now, it looked bloody-red. It looked like he had applied a layer of blood onto his face, which looked very odd. Moreover, the color seemed to gradually have become darker, as about to gush out from the old man's face. Such a bizarre scene sent a chill down everyone's spine, and they could not help but take a few steps back. Just then, Fade noticed the monk pointing at the old man with his finger. Energy flew out from his fingertip and entered the old man's body. Fade's expression fell as he shouted, "Be careful, all of you! Get out of the way!" The others were shocked, and they stepped back instinctively. However, the few who were supporting the old man did not manage to react in time. When Hillary saw Fade rushing over once again, she couldn't help but scold him, "Brat, what is going on with you..." Before she could finish her words, a shrill scream echoed in the room. She turned around and saw that her father, whom she was holding on to, had bitten her younger brother's neck suddenly. The enormous force had caused the old man's teeth to pierce through the man's skin, and he tore off a piece of flesh. The man covered his neck, and his blood kept flowing out. He was screaming out in pain. The red-faced old man chewed the flesh in large mouthfuls and swallowed it. Upon seeing such a scene, everyone was horrified. They screamed in horror and ran away in a hurry. Even Hillary was a little scared at the moment. She couldn't help but ask, "A-Are you my father?" The old man who swallowed the blood and flesh did not answer. His eyes were scarlet, as if his blood was about to drip out. He let out a roar, opened his mouth, and tried to bite Hillary. She dodged hurriedly, but her arm was still bitten. A piece of flesh was torn off in an instant. The pain made her scream and fall to the ground. The old man did not stop moving. Instead, he leaned over and was about to continue biting her. Fade rushed over and slammed out a palm to push the old man back. He pushed Hillary, who was injured, to the side and ordered in a harsh voice, "Leave, all of you. Don't come anywhere near." The crowd was in an uproar. Their eyes were filled with panic as they fled quickly. In an instant, there were only three people left in the house. Fade, the old man, and the monk. Of course, there was also Momo and the others who were waiting worriedly at the entrance. "So it was you behind this after all." Fade regarded the monk with a cold gaze. The monk stared at him and replied in a cold voice, "Boy, how dare you ruin my plan. If that's the case, I'll make you the first food of my blood corpse!" As he was talking, the monk recited some words immediately and sent another stream of energy into the old man's body. The old man's movements accelerated, and his face was red. He pounced on Fade fiercely. At this moment, Fade stood rooted to the same spot without a single trace of fear on his face. Instead, he stared at the monk and asked, "Blood corpse? Are you a martial artist or a warlock? Are you from Westlake Corpse Driving or Mount Maverest Corpse Refining?" "Boy, you know quite a lot! It seems that you are a martial artist. However, it's a pity that you have blocked my way. You are going to die here today!" The monk had a sinister expression on his face. "Blood corpse, bite him to death!" With the monk's order, the old man, who was already blood-red in color, rushed toward Fade and was about to tear his head off. Just then, Fade only extended his right hand and pointed at the blood corpse lightly. In an instant, a little flame burst out from Fade's fingertips, igniting the blood corpse, causing it to wriggle uncontrollably. It opened its mouth wide, let out a silent hiss, and struggled wildly. However, it was to no avail. Fade's vital flame burned up the blood corpse quickly, turning it into ashes and scattering it onto the ground. Such a situation was totally beyond the monk's expectations. The monk's face darkened as he shouted loudly. His energy erupted, and he looked as if he was about to attack Fade fiercely. "You've destroyed my blood corpse. I will kill you and turn you into my blood corpse." He threw a fierce attack at Fade, as if he was going to tear him apart. Just as he was about to rush over to him, the monk turned around and ran towards the door of the house suddenly. He had actually chosen to run away. Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help laughing. This monk is really crafty. After seeing the burnt-up corpse, he knew that he was no match for me. He still pretended to attack and he escaped unexpectedly at a critical moment." "If I was an ordinary person, there is a chance that you could have escaped. Unfortunately, I'm Fade, he snorted. He stood where he was without any movement. He only stretched out his right hand. A giant hand condensed by the positive energy flew over in the air and fell from the sky. It grabbed the monk's neck, pulled him back, and threw him onto the ground. "You want to escape? Do you think you will manage to do so?" Fade gazed at the monk on the ground. "Tell me, who the hell are you? Where did you learn the skill to make a blood corpse? What is your purpose?" Fade asked coldly. "I'll talk. I'll talk. Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything," the monk hurriedly begged for mercy. "Then do it!" Fade shouted coldly. "My name is Monk Konann, I am.... As soon as the monk opened his mouth and said his name, he choked. His eyes widened instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he fell to the ground, motionless. Upon seeing this, Fade bent down quickly to examine him, and he found that Monk Konann's breath had been cut off. He was dead. Fade frowned and looked into the distance. His heart was ice-cold as he muttered to himself, "Who is hiding behind Monk Konann, and what sort of secrets are they hiding?" The police came and cordoned off the scene for investigation. Fade cooperated with them to make a statement. Then, he left with Momo and drove back home.
Chapter 1750 Although Momo had always been bold, when she encountered this kind of strange and terrifying situation, she was still frightened. On the way home, Fade asked her many times and she said that she was fine. However, after returning home, the little girl did not have her dinner, and went straight to her room. She closed the door and did not come out. He used his mental energy and probed the room. He saw that she was hugging her legs, shivering under the quilt. She had been scared out of her wits by what had happened to the blood corpse that day. He knocked on the door gently, opened the door, and walked into the room. She did not expect that he would open the locked door and come in. She could not help but be stunned. She covered her face with the quilt quickly and whispered, "Fade, how could you break into my room so casually! I have to tell Quin that you tried to take advantage of me." He didn't come to joke around. He walked over and hugged her. He comforted her softly, "Momo, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let them hurt you no matter what. "Fade, I'm not afraid. I was just tired. I wanted to sleep, Momo insisted. Fade patted her back gently and comforted her in a soft voice, "Momo, you don't have to hold it in. You can tell me everything you want." "I, I'm just..." She did not know what to say for a moment. Upon seeing this, he sighed softly and interrupted her, "Momo, I have a way to seal this memory for you. If you agree, I..." When she heard those words, her delicate body trembled slightly. After pausing for a moment, she shook her head immediately and rejected, "No Fade, I don't want to forget these things. This is my precious experience. I want to know what exactly it was." "But, Momo... Those things are very dangerous." He was a little hesitant. Should he tell her about it? If he wanted to explain it clearly, she would have to deal with almost all sorts of things, such as martial artists, clans, and evil cultivators. However, once she entered this world, she might find it a bit difficult for her to leave. She stared at him firmly, "Fade, I am not afraid of danger. Moreover, running away blindly isn't a solution. I don't know about any of it, but it doesn't mean that these dangers won't appear on my side." "I want to know more. I want to become stronger. I want to protect myself and the people around me from harm." Fade looked at Momo's firm gaze and nodded his head finally. He began to tell her about martial artists. He even told her about Quin's identity and her experience. After hearing this, she couldn't help widening her eyes and her face was full of surprise. "Fade, you mean that Quin's father is a descendant of the hidden family, and her mother is a genius disciple of Wushuang Tower, one of the four major Heaven Level." "Yes!" He nodded. The little goblin immediately got excited. "Quin is too powerful. No wonder she's started cultivating now. Fade, I also want to train in martial arts. I also want to become stronger. I can't hold you back any longer." "You... Fine, I'll teach you later." He looked at the excited girl, and could only nod in agreement. He calmed her down and let her sleep peacefully. In the next few days, he started to work as a teacher in the villa. He taught Momo and Quin martial arts everyday. Needless to say, Quin's Xuanyin Aura was definitely a genius gift in the path of martial arts. In the end, he didn't expect Momo, a little girl, to also be very gifted in the field of cultivation. Her speed of cultivation wasn't any slower than Quin. In just a few days, she had reached the middle stage of the Yellow Level, and her strength had improved by leaps and bounds. After the initial tutoring, she had to rely on herself for the rest of the cultivation. Fade did not have to stay by the two girls' side everyday and teach them how to do it anymore. Just as he took a rest, his mobile phone rang immediately. It turned out to be old friends in Dragonville, such as Scott, Caesar, and Mindy. After learning that Fade had returned, all of them contacted him and asked him out for a gathering. He did not refuse and he had a good time with his old friends. He held an annual meeting together with Fatty and Scott in the entertainment company. As the nominal big boss, it could also be regarded as a meeting with his employees. He went to the Tu Medicine Center afterwards to practice medical skills with Caesar. He helped him to solve some diseases he had been struggling with at the same time. Finally, he went to Mindy's house. The little girl, Fish, was now in primary school, and she was much taller than when he previously saw her. Although he hadn't seen her for nearly a year, the little girl still hugged him warmly and shouted, "Uncle!" He met his old friends and lazed around for the next two days. One day, another phone call came in. Fade looked at the caller ID, and found that it was from Tom. He answered the call As soon as the call was connected, Tom's familiar voice came from the other side. "Brother Fade, have you returned to Dragonville?" He laughed as he answered, "I've been back for half a month and met up with Fatty and the others. I was wondering why you didn't contact me. I thought that you've forgotten about me." "Brother Fade, even if I forget my father, I won't forget you!" Tom laughed and continued, "I'm only contacting you now because I was busy with something else, and I've only just found the time now!" "When have you become so busy?" Fade laughed at him. "It's a long story! Brother Fade, when are you available? Let's come out for a drink and chat, Tom suggested. "I'm available at any time. You can arrange the time," Fade replied. Tom then decided immediately. "This afternoon, let's head to the restaurant near my martial arts center!" "Okay, see you later, Fade replied. In the afternoon, Fade met him in the restaurant. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. As soon as Tom came up to him, he gave him a warm hug, "Brother Fade, it's been a long time. Fade patted him on the back. Looking at his tanned face and short hair, he couldn't help but laugh. "Indeed, and you've changed your appearance. You are taking the tough guy's route!" Tom then replied with a smile, "The route of a tough guy, I can't do anything about it." "Why can't you do anything? Does your father still control you now?" Fade asked with a smile. Tom shook his head and answered, "It's not my father. It's a request from the army." "Military camp? You've joined the army?" Fade looked at Tom in surprise. Tom waved his hand and explained, "It's not really joining the army, I'm just assisting the military with some affairs." "Helping the military?" Fade asked curiously, "What's going on? Tell me about it."
Chapter 1751 Tom didn't try to be secretive and blurted out, "Strange things have been happening around Dragonville lately. Some livestock in the remote villages died for no reason." "At first, we thought it was just the occasional viral influenza and didn't pay much attention to it. However, more and more livestock died. When the epidemic prevention team came to investigate, they found that there wasn't any influenza." "What's more, the issue worsened. It wasn't just animals. Subsequently, people began to die one after another. The corpses' faces were flushed red as if they were bulging with blood. It was horrifying to see. Rumors related to zombies even cropped up, and it was causing panic. Everyone was living in fear and havoc." Fade couldn't help but recall the incident with Valerie's grandfather upon hearing this. His heart sank, and he thought, "Could that be related to someone messing with the people of Dragonville instead of a separate issue?" However, he did not interrupt Tom and let him continue speaking. Tom added, "The situation is becoming even worse, and the higher-ups are scrutinizing this matter. They had sent the police but not only have they not found anything, but two police officers died without cause." "Soon the police couldn't take it anymore, so they escalated the matter to the military. The superiors sent a troop down. Since they were not familiar with the locale, they called up a few local martial artists to help. Thus, I signed up. "I see." Fade nodded, then asked, "How's the investigation going? Any clues? Tom's expression changed, and he seemed to look a little uneasy. Lowering his voice, he explained, "This case is somewhat unusual. A bunch of us already tried for half a month and scouted a few places but there are no hints at all. Plus, everything about this is strange, reminding us about spirits and death. It really gives us the chills." "But recently, we did find a spot. However, it's uncanny and dangerous. We didn't dare enter at all and we're still looking for solutions at this point." "Somehow, you happened to be back, Brother Fade. I just wanted to... Needless to say, Fade understood what Tom meant. He wanted him to assist in the investigation of this matter. Since this matter concerned Dragonville's safety, Fade had no intentions to be a bystander either. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look." "Thank you, Brother Fade. With your help, I'm sure we'll be able to take care of anything and everything evil, be it martial artists, demons, and monsters, Tom chuckled, his expression finally relaxing a little. Fade rolled his eyes at him, "Alright, stop your flattering. Now, I want to know everything in detail. Tell me, what's going on?" As prompted, Tom explained the whole story to him in detail. Fade couldn't help frowning after hearing what Tom said. The more he described it, the more Fade found the characteristics similar to what had happened with Valerie's grandfather. He immediately recalled Monk Konann and the blood corpse he had created. "Who on earth is this person to dare sin in Dragonville?" Fade's brows knitted into a tight knot. On the same day, he went home to inform his wife about it. Early the next morning, he hurried to the station with Tom. As the incidents occurred in remote and rural villages, the troops could only be stationed at the foothill. The moment Fade arrived, he could sense the troops vigor and energy although the setup was just simple tents and wooden huts. Tom registered Fade at the entrance and brought him into the barracks. They met a military officer in his forties. Tom saluted, "Commander Huang, I'm back." Then, he pointed at Fade and introduced him with a chuckle. Jacques, this is Fade, the man whom I'd mentioned to you before. Brother Fade is amazing. Tom then introduced Fade to Jacques, "Brother Fade, this is Jacques, our Commander Huang. He is the person in charge of this operation." "Nice to meet you, Commander Huang" Fade greeted with a friendly smile. "Greetings, Mr. Chen." Jacques sized up Fade and shoo hands with However, one could sense a shadow of doubt from his expression. Both Tom and Fade could detect Jacques's suspicion and they exchanged glances. Fade didn't say anything further. Right away, he flicked two of his fingers. His fingertips radiated with a burst of positive energy, then he swiftly scratched at the steel table in front of them. The corner of the steel table instantly dropped on the floor with a loud clang. The incision was sharp and smooth, as if it was sliced by a machine. Jacques' jaw dropped a little in shock and a bright grin replaced the surmise on his expression at once. He reached out both hands to shake Fade's once again, "Mr. Chen, call me Jacques. With the help of experts like you, we would definitely succeed this time. I will be sure to mention you to our superiors!" Fade replied lightly, "There's no need to ask for merit. I'm not here for these things. After all, I've been in Dragonville for such a long time. Its safety is my priority." "Mr. Chen, you are a dignified and admirable man. I respect you." complimented Jacques, buttering him up. Next to him, Tom chuckled, "Jacques, why don't we gather everyone and have a meeting? Let's update Brother Fade about the situation so that it will be convenient for him to help. "Yes, yes, we should have a meeting. I was so delighted that I forgot about it at the moment, Jacques hurriedly said. Soon, everyone in the camp was gathered and they lined up in neat rows. Jacques walked up to the stage and declared, "Everyone, the reason why I summoned you this time is that I have something important to announce." "Our investigation has been stalled for a long time, and there has been no progress. Now, Tom has invited an expert named Fade to help us." "From now on, our plan has changed. With Mr. Chen as the core, we will fully assist Mr. Chen in this investigation. As soon as Jacques announced the news, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. All sorts of questions and complaints were heard. Jacques's soldiers were considered exemplary. Although they were puzzled, they obeyed his orders. However, martial artists like Tom, who were dispatched to assist in the investigation, were instantly disgruntled. *Jacques, what's the meaning of this? How could you change your plan at the last minute?" "We did a good job and just made a little progress. Now, we are suddenly replaced by someone else. Is that fair?!" "I don't know what kind of expert he is. I don't accept this. If he leads the team, then I'll quit." "That's right. What skills does he have to act as a core and ask for our cooperation the second he arrives?" Throughout the commotion and complaints, Jacques shouted calls for silence, trying to control the situation. Still, it was ineffective against the crowd, especially against the rogue martial artists. Therefore, he could only turn his eyes to Fade, giving him a half-frantic glance. Of course, Fade understood what he meant immediately. He took a step forward, "Don't you all know why there was a change? Why was a change needed?"
Chapter 1752 "Why are you asking us?" "I think you're just here because of your connections. You're here to get credit for yourself!" "We won't accept this!" When he heard the objections, Fade let out a cold snort in anger. He sneered with disdain, "What is so unacceptable for a group of good-for-nothings like you all?" "You have taken over the investigation for more than half a month. What have you found? What measures have you taken? What have you achieved? Did the villagers stop dying? Were the villagers' state of panic resolved?" In the next second, everyone at the scene fell silent at Fade's questions. Everyone's expression darkened in that instant. However, all sorts of disapproval arose again and their tone became defensive. *This matter is bizarre to begin with. It is understandable for us to investigate it slowly." "That's right. It's easy to ask questions. Since you're so capable, why not solve the problem by yourself!" "It's just empty talk. Everyone knows how to talk. He's just a dandy who only knows how to boast." Fade responded, scoffing, "It's just a ridiculous excuse. Since you all complain about it being so difficult, I'll make a military order here. Within three days, I'll solve this matter. If I fail, then I, Fade Chen, shall be punished in whatever way you all want." Everyone on the spot was stunned as soon as he finished his sentence. "Are you serious?" "It's empty talk. Write an oath!" *Jacques, we all heard him!" Fade then wrote a note and handed it to Jacques. He then glanced at the crowd, "I've signed the note, and I've already written down the military order." "However, for the next three days of action, all of you have to listen to my commands. If any of you do not obey, then you will be punished by the military accordingly. Any objections?" "None from me. We'll listen to your commands for the next three days. Let's see what you can do." "I'd like to see how you can solve something we couldn't do for more than half a month in just three days." "Young man, it's good to be hot-blooded, but if it's just bragging, then it would be meaningless "See for yourself then." Fade didn't say much. He immediately turned around and went back to the barracks. In the barracks, Jacques seemed bitter and anxious. He gave Fade a helpless look and said, "Mr. Chen, you don't have to..." Fade understood his intention, but he waved his hand, "Our utmost priority now is to free the villagers from this threat. I do not have the time to buy their votes one by one so that they would listen to me. That would be time-consuming. We must prepare the troops for action now." "But, if we don't succeed in three days, I'm afraid that... Jacques added worriedly. Fade said, "If it's something that I cannot succeed in three days, then it would be meaningless. Moreover, Tom mentioned that you guys had found a clue, but you couldn't enter the place, right? It's not a big problem for me." Jacques still wanted to say something, but he knew that things were resolute at this point. Thus, he could only move on. With no time to waste, he explained to Fade in detail again at the barracks. After Fade understood the whole situation, he decided that the troops would embark the next day and follow the clues to continue their investigation. They set off from the barracks the following day. Fade took the lead and strode in front, full of confidence and valor. Although there was already the note, there were still members in the martial artists' team who were doubtful of him. They discussed non-stop along the way, anticipating him to make a fool of himself. Fade didn't bother explaining and focused on their journey, marching full speed ahead. He didn't stop to rest even after about three or four hours of hiking the mountain road. He led the team at the front of the line, and his pace did not slow down even a little. Upon seeing this, some of the more observant ones in the team couldn't help whispering among themselves. "Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be weak. After such a long journey, he did not sweat, nor is he out of breath. He has quite some strength." "This is considered nothing. Any middle-stage Yellow Level martial artist can walk these roads. It's not worth mentioning." "Let's wait and see what else he's good at." After another two hours of the hike, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. Fade finally stopped. At this moment, Tom pointed to the lush, dark forest and explained to him, "The clue I mentioned before is here. The blood trails and the related suspects all disappeared after entering the forest." "We also wanted to go in for a look at first, but this forest is mystifying. It may look ordinary on the outside, but after entering, you would get lost. It was like going in circles." "What's more, some animals in the forest are savage and aggressive. They attack when they see humans, especially wild boars, and black bears. If they attacked us in a frenzy, even those of us who are in the middle stage of the Black Level will be unable to fend them off." After listening, Fade nodded, "Wait here. I'll go and have a look." After that, he gave a nimble jump and darted directly to the mountain forest. When everyone behind him saw this, they couldn't help but gasp, taken aback. "What's that guy doing? ushed in alone!" "Is he courting death? That forest is uncanny. Even a late stage of a Black Level martial artist might not be safe from entering." "I've heard that someone saw a monster covered in blood inside. It's terrifying. "We lost three of our men in this forest. All of them were mid-stage Black Level martial artists. He's in danger for sure. Just as everyone was gossiping, there was a sudden gust of strong wind in the mountain forest. After a while, a human figure rushed out. It was Fade. He looked at everyone and said, "It's easy to get lost in the forest because someone has laid down a formation spell. If we don't break through the formation, we'll get lost inside easily. I just broke the formation, so we can enter now." Everyone couldn't help but act apprehensive when he spoke so surely. "Is this guy telling the truth? There's a formation in that? Is it that magical?" "Even if there is a formation, how long has it been since he just entered? Is it that easy to break the formation?" "I think that's what he's bragging about. He wants to show his strength so that he can take credit for it." Many people were dubious towards Fade's words, but Jacques trusted in him completely. After he gave an order, they began to march inside. They didn't feel anything when they first entered. It wasn't that different from normal forests. However, after going deeper and deeper, the surroundings seemed to have quietened down strangely. The whole forest was filled with a faint, putrid smell of blood. "There's something wrong with the air!" A rogue martial artist could not help exclaiming, covering his nose with a hand because he couldn't bear the stench Just as he spoke, a sudden gust of foul wind came whistling out in the dense forest next to him. It charged straight towards him at lightning speed. The martial artist felt a strong blow and turned his head in alarm. Suddenly, he saw a wild cat with scarlet red eyes stretch out its sharp claws. It was. swooping towards his throat.
Chapter 1753 When the martial artist came back to his senses, he raised his broadsword high and slashed at the wild cat, cursing. "Sh*t! How dare a cat attack me! You deserve to die!" He was determined to kill it in one blow. However, something unexpected happened when the broadsword hit the claws of the wild cat. To his horror, the rigid alloy sword was sliced off by the wild cat with a snarl. Under his astonished gaze, its sharp claws charged at the martial artist's neck. The martial artist was shocked, his eyes widening. There was no time left to respond. He could only stare at the wild cat coming towards him, and he was about to scream in fear. At this critical moment, a thick branch flew through the air with a "whoosh". It hit the wild cat at the final second, and the enormous force pushed the wild cat away, nailing it to a big tree. The wild cat yowled as it struggled frantically with its claws, desperately trying to cut through the branch. Within a few seconds, it managed to claw away half of the tree branch. Finally, it released its final breath and hung limply on the tree, motionless. "The animals here are abnormal. Be careful, all of you. Stay alert," Fade reminded everyone. Everyone returned to their senses at this moment. Fade was the one who flung the branch at the cat earlier. Suddenly, many of the rogue martial artists saw him in a whole new light. After the incident, their view of him began to change even more significantly. That wild cat at the beginning could only be considered a warm-up for their expedition. After that, various types of animals emerged and pounced from left and right, such as wild dogs, black bears and wild boars. Even gentler animals like rabbits and chickens went berserk and attempted to attack them aggressively. After witnessing the ferocity of the wild cat earlier, everyone did not dare to be careless or let their guard down at that point. They used all they had to fend off the invasions. Yet, no matter how cautious they were, their strength was limited after all. They were still able to face small animals like rabbits and chickens, but they struggled to go against the aggressive black bears and wild boars that were twice their size. These lunatic beasts held terrifying strength, almost as strong as a late stage of the Black Level martial artist. Although they were huge, they were always abnormally nimble and quick. The martial artists could smell their stink before they could see them. As they battled, some of the martial artists were also worn out, which weakened their defense. For a time, a lot of them fell into a dangerous situation, barely inches away from death. However, at every critical moment, Fade would act like a savior that descended from the Heavens and saved their lives with seconds to spare. The wild boars and black bears, which were difficult for them to deal with, all failed to resist his attack. After half an hour of intense battle, the forest finally quietened down again. Everyone was panting as their energy was significantly consumed. They were drenched with animal blood and their own sweat, even some tears. Only Fade's clothes were spotlessly clean, as if he had just entered the forest. Finally, everyone had witnessed his powerful abilities with their own eyes. A handful of them even got their lives back thanks to him. Contrary to before, they were now filled with gratitude, astonishment, and respect towards him. Some of the martial artists who were straightforward, now directly went up and apologized to him. "Mr. Chen, I thought you were not good enough before. I was blind and wrong. In future, I will do whatever you want me to. "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Chen. I acted sarcastically towards you before. I should slap my own mouth!" "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking yesterday. I was too stupid. You are the real master!" Fade laughed and waved his hand, saying, "All of you don't have to do this. We are all here to investigate the case, so we are partners. It's good to clear the air. Next, let's take action together!" His gracious attitude convinced everyone even more, and they all clamored that they would help him until the end of the world. Seeing this, Jacques couldn't help but grin, "As expected of Mr. Chen. I have to admit that your way of winning people's hearts with your strength is much better than mine!" Then, the group of people passed through the mountain forest and continued onwards. Tom also went to work. He followed the previous clues and began to investigate carefully. In the end, they climbed over the forest and saw a column of dark smoke from a small clump of houses and huts. Everyone watched in stunned silence. "There's actually a village in a place like this? Is anyone there?" "There is smoke and noise. There must be people!" "I researched that this village is registered with the municipal government. It's a small village bordering Dragonville and Bay City, called the Twin-dragon Village. It was said to be an ancient village, and it's under the city's relic protection. A few years ago, archaic experts from the city even came to visit." Everyone broke into a discussion, but Tom's expression significantly seemed to darken. He announced, "According to the leads, this village is our final destination." Upon hearing this, someone could not help raising his voice. "No way, no matter how you look at it, this village doesn't seem to have anything to do with those things!" "They're all villagers. They wouldn't manage to have done such a thing, could they?" "Let's go down and take a look. We'll find out after checking. Why the trouble?" One of them was about to descend from the mountains, but Fade immediately instructed, "Don't go down. There's something odd about this village. His current prestige in the team was completely than fore. As soon as he spoke, the person stopped his actions. Everyone landed their gaze at him, "Mr. Chen..." Fade continued gruffly, "I can't determine the specifics clearly because we are too far away, but judging from the aura, the Twin-dragon Village had a similar aura as the forest just now. There's definitely something fishy. What's more, I have a gut feeling that this village will be more dangerous than the forest." Upon hearing this, many people's faces suddenly blanched. If it wasn't for Fade, most of them would probably have died there in the forest. Since this village was even more dangerous than the forest, most of them started to tremble a little in fear. Jacques looked at him and asked, "Mr. Chen, what should we do now?" Fade hesitated slightly, "I could sneak in to assess the situation if I'm alone, but now, there are too many people. Even with me here, I'm afraid I can't handle it if accidents occur. Therefore, I suggest delaying our actions. Let's withdraw first and organize elite troops to come alone tomorrow." After hearing this, Jacques nodded and said, "That would be a better plan. Since there are at least fifty to sixty villagers in this village, there would be a matter related to many lives and their safety. I'll go back and ask my superiors for instructions. "Well, since that's the case, let's retreat!" Fade ordered. After deciding, the group of people immediately retreated using the original route they took to arrive here. On their way back, Fade even took a few of the animal corpses back for investigation. He wanted to know the reason why these animals had turned all aggressive and crazy. Back in the barracks, he began to select people to form an elite team. Meanwhile, Jacques reported the situation to his superiors and asked for instructions on the next step. Soon, the next day arrived. Fade organized a team of elite soldiers, all of whom were at the intermediate stage of the Black Level. A total of twelve people prepared to head towards Twin-dragon Village for a closer look.
Chapter 1754 As soon as they left the barracks, Jacques stopped them, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment." "Jacques, is there anything else?" Fade asked. Jacques' face darkened., "Mr. Chen, we might need to consider our actions carefully. There's no good in being too hasty" Fade frowned when he heard this and exclaimed, Jacques, this matter is urgent. I'm afraid that things will worsen if we delay any further!" "Commander, I don't know what will happen if this drags on." "That's right. Perhaps the villagers are already suffering as we speak." Jacques seemed bitter as well, replying helplessly, "T-This is not my decision, but the higher-ups. I reported what we saw yesterday, and the leader instructed that they'll send Lieutenant Hsiang to take charge of the village's affairs." As soon as he finished his words, the crowd burst into an uproar. "What do you mean, sending someone over now? He doesn't trust us?" "I know of that Daemyn Hsiang. He's a second-generation soldier and has relations with the higher-ups. He has been working in our division's operations and doing admin work. Why is he holding such a big role this time?" "Isn't it obvious? Since he wanted some merits, he's here to claim them. Mr. Chen just solved the forest issue and discovered a village. Then, the superiors sent Daemyn down. Why didn't the management send him over when we were begging for help?" "What are they thinking? Those people only sit in the office and make a big fuss. They think they can do whatever they want." "This is a major event that concerns the life of the village people. How could we let this office boy run amok!" Jacques remained silent among the crowd's discussions. Fade opened his mouth after a pause, asking gruffly, "Jacques, is there no other way?" Jacques shook his head, dejected, "This is an instruction from the superiors. The men have already departed and will reach here soon to take over control. I have no choice but to follow orders." Fade fell silent after hearing this. Then, he turned to face Jacques and said, "In that case, I shall prepare a few plans. Jacques, please pass it to them when the time comes and remind them to be careful." "Alright, thank you, Mr. Chen." Jacques gave him a helpless nod. However, the moment Fade turned around to return to the barracks and prepare the plans, a loud rumbling was heard. Then, a blaring voice filled with arrogance followed. "Huh? What plan? I, Daemyn Hsiang, had never needed someone else's plan to take control. What a joke!" Startled, everyone turned to the source of the sound. Seconds later, they saw a military vehicle screech to a stop and braked hastily in front of the barracks. A man in his twenties in army uniform exited the passenger seat and stepped out. The man glowered at Fade. He sneered, "Are you the one who wants to share your plans with me?" This was obviously Daemyn, who would be taking over Jacques. Fade identified his strength at a glance. He was a decent late-stage Black Level, but only that - decent. With no expression on his face, Fade nodded and replied flatly, "It's me." At this moment, Jacques hurried out and explained on behalf of Fade, "Lieutenant Hsiang, this is Mr. Chen. We managed to break through the forest and found clues about the Twin-dragon Village because of him. Mr. Chen is powerful and has plenty of experience in dealing with the strange animals." "To accomplish the task more efficiently and ensure the safety of the masses, Mr. Chen intends to write a proposal for your references. Jacques tried to maintain a polite tone, but when Daemyn listened to him, his face had a look of disdain. He glared at Fade and barked, "You led the previous movements? What about your plans?" Jacques gave Fade a hesitant glance. Swiftly, he took out paper and pen and wrote a few suggestions in the blink of an eye. He handed it to Daemyn coldly. "Here's my plan. Fade wasn't afraid of him, but he was worried about the innocent people's safety. He wanted to solve this matter quickly. That's why he couldn't be bothered by Daemyn's rude audacity. Daemyn took over the paper from Fade and didn't even take a glance. He threw it over his shoulders to a middle-aged man in a black suit, instructing, "Lencho, what do you think?" Lencho gave it a flicker, and a smug smirk stretched on his face. He snickered rudely, "You called this a plan? I think this is just some coward's escape strategy. While speaking, he tore the paper into shreds and threw it on the ground. Then, he proceeded to leer at Fade disdainfully with a provocative expression. Fade's expression turned stony as he remained quiet. However, everyone at the barracks who saw the scene was bursting with anger. They glared at Lencho and Daemyn, furious. Jacques quickly stood up and explained, "Lieutenant Hsiang, the monsters and opponents this time are unusual and difficult to deal with. Mr. Chen's plan is cautious and also considers everyone's safety. "Cautious! Ha! I think it's just pure weakness. What monster is it? It's just some wild beasts, right? Just shoot it directly with guns. If it doesn't work, you can directly blow them up. I don't believe those things can survive." Daemyn scoffed, full of pride. "Jacques, you've been fighting a group of wild beasts for a half month. I truly doubt your ability!" Daemyn side-eyed him. Jacques' face darkened, but he still reminded him out of good faith, "Lieutenant Hsiang, the beasts we are dealing with this time are indeed different and difficult to deal with. Also, Mr. Chen has said that the Twin-dragon Village was suspicious. By the time..." "What's strange about it? It's just a village with a few dozen villagers. I'll arrest and interrogate them directly. You'll know everything when they confess at the end of the day, Is it really that complicated?" Lencho snickered by the side. Then, he turned to Daemyn and asked, "Mr. Hslang, why don't I take my subordinates to that village right now and bring all the villagers here. Boom, mission accomplished." "We can't go there. There..." Jacques hurriedly shouted. Daemyn just waved his hand and yawned. He said, "Lencho, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I've been rushing all the way here. I'm exhausted. Let's talk about this after a while. It's not difficult, after all. We can deal with it as we like later." "If that's the case, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Lencho was confident. He then said to Jacques, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear that Mr. Hsiang said he was tired? Go clean up the barracks and let him rest!" Jacques was reluctant and his expression bitter. However, he had no choice but to act. Subsequently, Daemyn swaggered into the barracks with his troops, with around seven or eight cronies following behind him. Seeing this, Fade shook his head. Without saying a word, he walked away from the barracks without looking back. If such a person were to lead the team, he naturally would not stay for this task.
Chapter 1755 The moment Fade walked a few steps, Daemyn frowned and roared at him, "What are you doing? Who said you're allowed to leave? Did I give you my permission? Fade's brows furrowed and he retorted coldly, "I don't need your permission to leave." After saying that, he turned around. With Fade taking the lead, the other martial artists, including Tom, immediately stood up. "Brother Fade, wait for me. I'll go with you." "What the hell is this? I've been working hard for over half a month. Now, someone is here to claim all the credits. I quit." "I can't afford to offend him, but I can't avoid the monsters either! I'm leaving!" "I can't deal with this man. I just can't. I'd better go home." More than twenty martial artists gradually left the crowd as they spoke, following Fade to leave. Some soldiers were also vexed and wanted to quit. However, due to the differences in their status, they had no choice but to stay. They bowed their heads and stood where they were. When Daemyn saw this, he huffed and his face flushed red. Glowering at them, he bellowed, "What are all of you doing? This is a barrack! Who gave permission for all of you to leave? Deserters will be shot to death!" However, no one paid any attention to him. They all followed Fade and left. "Guards, arrest these deserters for me, Daemyn shouted and instructed someone to take action. Jacques hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. He explained, "Lieutenant Hsiang, we can't do that. They're not our troops but Dragonville's local martial artists. They are here to assist us in the investigation. Based on the previous agreement, they can choose to leave whenever they want. Upon hearing this, Daemyn's face darkened even more. He cursed through clenched teeth, "What a lousy group of rogue martial artists. They don't respect authority at all." On the other hand, Lencho hurriedly comforted him, "Mr. Hsiang, let them go. Their presence is not a big deal. I alone can handle Twin-dragon Village. It's good that these useless idiots leave. It would be less troublesome for us if they drag us down, Daemyn relaxed slightly upon hearing this. He gave a cold jeer and disappeared back inside his tent to rest. Lencho then barked at Jacques, "Quickly prepare some wine and food. Get us some good delicacies and antique wine. We don't want any of the army scraps. "But..." Jacques was helpless, but he had no choice but to turn around and make the preparations as ordered. At the same time, Fade and the group of twenty martial artists left, exasperated. "D*mn, what on earth is this? A second-generation idiot, relying on his father's power, acting arrogantly toward us!" "We worked to our bones, but he said that we were timid. I really wanted to beat him into a pulp at that moment." "Forget it. His background is not one that ordinary people can offend. Did you see that man, Lencho? He is a master too. I'm afraid he's an advanced Black Level martial artist." "If something like this happens again in the future, I won't participate anymore. It's too much of a grievance to be suffering so hard for nothing." "We can forget about it, but Mr. Chen is different. He's our hero. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to break into the mountain forest and dragged on the matter. Who are they have to look down on him?" "That's right. Compared to Mr. Chen, he is not worth a glance." Fade listened to everyone's ranting and chuckled. Then, he said, "Forget it, I don't care about these. I just hope that they can solve the problem. Otherwise, the people will still have to suffer." Everyone heaved a heavy sigh, then went their separate ways home. After Fade returned, he met up with Tom, and some other friends, including Fatty, to have a good meal and relieve some of his frustration. The next day, he planned to stay at home for the entire day. However, Quin had arranged for him a task for the day. Shinnie was returning from East Coast, so she had Fade pick her up. Shinnie was Francesca's granddaughter. Quin always had a good relationship with her and treated her like a little sister. The previous year, Shinnie took the college entrance examination and passed with flying colors. She got into the well-known East Coast University, one of the best universities in the country, then began her life in the bustling city. Now that it was the university's winter holidays, Shinnie was returning from East Coast. They were informed that some of her friends would be coming over too, so Fade would also be picking them up. Thinking that it had been a long time since he saw Shinnie, he immediately got up from bed, got dressed, and left the house, After waiting at the airport for around half an hour, he saw Shinnie coming out with a suitcase. The Shinnie from two years ago was shy and timid. She would follow Fade from behind and call him 'Brother Chen' shyly. However, the current Shinnie seemed to be taller and better at dressing up. She was pretty to start with, but now, she looked refreshing and gorgeous. As soon as they came out, many passersby couldn't help glancing at Shinnie, stunned by her charm and beauty. They fixed their gaze on her unblinkingly. The little girl didn't seem to be used to such a scenario. She pulled her collar up to cover her slightly flushed cheeks. When Fade noticed this, he smiled and waved with a call, "Shinnie, this way." She heard the shout and looked over to see him waving beside the car. She beamed instantly and grinned, "Brother Chen, why did you come to pick me up?" "What? You don't like me picking you up?" He chuckled and knocked on her head. Shinnie covered her head and winced slightly, forming a cute expression. "Of course not. I just thought that you would still be in Capital City and won't be returning so soon. That's why...". "I've been back for more than half a month. I'll be in Dragonville for some time," Fade said. "That's great! So you'll be spending the new year here in Dragonville, Brother Chen." The little lady was so excited that she jumped for joy. He opened the car's trunk and took over her suitcase. Then, he asked, "Where are your friends? Didn't you say your classmates would be coming back with you?" As soon as he said that, she waved her hand, and four youngsters came over. There were two men and two ladies. The couple walking in front were dressed fashionably, clad in luxury brands worth at least a few thousand yuan. Obviously, they came from wealthy families. Although the second couple behind them was also dressed in trendy fashion, they were obviously not as wealthy as the couple in front of them. Moreover, the two people at the back clearly listened to the two at the front.. Their manner of speech and attitude were even meek and submissive. The handsome man in his windbreaker grinned and walked over when he saw Shinnie waving her hand. He said, "Shinnie, your hometown, Dragonville, looks great! It's colder compared to East Coast. I should have brought a few more clothes." Fade laughed at this, "It's indeed a little cold. Get in the car. The heater is on, so you'll feel warmer.
