Chapter 181
Momo Soo seemed to have realized this as well, and she tried to pass the topic over to Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen. But Chessca Tan was obviously not interested in the two, so it didn't take more than 5 minutes before she was talking to Momo Soo once again Moreover, she is repeatedly mentioned the Soo Family's business, promising that she'll go visit the them in South Bay City whenever she had the chance, and how their two families should collaborate with each other. What was meant to be a leisurely activity had turned into a business conference. Momo Soo really didn't want to talk about it, so she answered everything hastily, hoping to just let it pass. Little did she know, Chessca Tan's face had turned into a darker shade of grey. They were out for the entire day, and Chesca Tan had originally planned to bring them home to rest overnight while they'd continue with the trip the next day. But just as they were about to arrive home, Momo Soo received a phone call and said apologetically to Chesca Tan, "Senior, I'm sorry. My friend posted on social media, saying that a friend of mine from South Bay City came to Hanover City. They have invited me to dinner, so I won't be staying at your place today." "A friend from South Bay City!" Chesca Tan exclaimed as she asked, "Are they business partners of the Soo Family?" Momo Soo shook her head and said, "Just a high school classmate of mine, she came to Hanover City for a trip." Chesca Tan hummed in reply, then said, "Wait! How about I fetch you there?" "That won't be necessary. My friend is staying nearby at a place called the Rujia Hotel, which is just within walking distance." Momo Soo answered, smiling. Chessca Tan's haughty expression froze when she heard the name Rujia Hotel, instantly acknowledging that her friend was not someone of high social class. She was immediately thrown off and said, "In that case, I'll drop you guys off here. Momo, please give me a call if you would like to make plans for tomorrow." "Okay, thank you very much, Senior" Momo Soo replied. Chesca Tan opened the car door for the three of them to get down. They parted ways after waving their goodbyes as Chesca Tan drove away. Both Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang felt at ease as they watched Chesca Tan leave. They let out a sigh of relief, a smile finally reappearing on their faces. Fade Chen smirked as he looked at the girls and said to Momo Soo, "Momo, since when have you learned how to lie? Let me guess, you don't really have a friend at the Rujia Hotel, do you?" Momo Soo threw a glare in Fade Chen's direction, waving her small, clenched fist at him and said, "You're such a know it-all, brother-in-law, and yet you pretend like you don't know anything." Right after that, Momo Soo's expression darkened as she said in a low tone, "Senior Tan had invited me here several times before, and I thought that she'd be enthusiastic and welcoming to see us here. I never expected for her to have only been interested in my family's business. Starting from yesterday, she couldn't stop mentioning about having both our families engage in business collaboration." Yuri Zhang fell silent a moment before she spoke up, her voice as light as a feather, "Momo, don't feel too disappointed. Senior was quite welcoming, she's already brought us to so many places." Kindness came naturally for Yuri Zhang as she always searched for the best in people. Momo Soo curled her lips and said, "I wasn't criticizing her. It's just just." She ran out of words to describe what she was feeling. Fade Chen had noticed this, as he smiled faintly and said, "It's just that you wanted a pure friendship, but you didn't know that the other party is merely taking advantage of you." Momo Soo nodded when he heard his explanation and said, "Yes, that's precisely what I meant." Fade Chen said, "Momo, I understand where you're coming from, but there's no such thing as a pure friendship. The entire societies made up of people taking advantage of each other. Your senior may be a little flawed with her ways, but it's perfectly normal. Because, this is... society." "Society!" The two innocent girls were processing what Fade Chen had said with their heads lowered, digesting their first lesson of entering society. After a while, Momo Soo lifted her chin and flashed a smile at Fade Chen, "Brother-in-law, I understand now. I'll be more considerate in the future." Yuri Zhang nodded solemnly as well. Seeing that the two women have figured it out, Fade Chen changed the topic with a hearty laugh and said, "It's getting late. Also, it's been a whole day. I'm famished." "Me too!" Yuri Zhang nodded with a smile. Momo Soo pointed generously at a five-star hotel not far away and said, "Let's go have ourselves a lavish meal." With their salary, a five-star hotel was considered nothing, so they headed there for a good meal and stayed overnight in three separate suites, finally getting a good night's rest. The next morning, Mom Son contacted Chesca Tan, inviting her over to join and hang out with her classmates. Surely enough, Chessca Tan found an excuse for herself and refused. In the end, Momo Soo and the others set out on their own. Without Chesca Tan with them, things were a little complicated, but they were truly having the time of their lives. Besides, what's not to like about going on a trip without someone who couldn't stop yapping in your ears about a corporate collaboration? Just like that, another day was gone. The gang went around to all the famous scenic spots in Hanover City and didn't return to the hotel to rest until around four in the evening. Who could've expected, Momo Soo received a phone call from Chesca Tan in the evening. She invited her to a gala that was going to take place later at night, with all the attendees well-known socialites of Hanover City. Momo Soo knew, right off the bat, that the gala was nothing more than a guise for a wealthy socialites' party to expand their contacts. Tactfully, she refused right away, because she wasn't at all interested in the event. However, Chessca Tan persevered and she was persistent to the extent that Momo Soo felt sorry for rejecting her any further. Finally, she accepted her invitation, but with the condition that Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang tagged along as well. felt sorry for rejecting her any Chesca Tan wasn't planning to invite them in the first place, but since Momo Soo had insisted for them to come, she had no choice but to agree to her request. So, the three of them took a shower, got changed into their casual attire, and took a cab to the venue of where the party was being held. None of them were fancily dressed, since none of them were particularly interested in the event. The party was held in a luxurious villa by the riverside. The host was a wealthy local businessman, and his invitees were the other rich socialites of Hanover City. Chesca Tan was waiting for Momo Soo at the villa entrance. Her expression soured when saw that the gang had arrived in a cab in clothes that made them look nothing but cheap. Momo Soo's attire was considered decent, to say the least. Her clothes were merely ordinary, but since she was wealthy, her ordinary clothes were all branded and not too shabby to wear to a party like this. The same couldn't be said for Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen though, as Chessca Tan could barely hide the glare in her eyes. She could tell that the clothes they were wearing didn't cost more than two hundred yuan per piece, and at most five hundred yuan in total. They looked as if two beggars were entering the Imperial Palace, Chesca Tan wanted to pretend that she didn't know the two, but after all, they came with Momo Soo. She had no choice to put on a smile as she went to welcome them. However, after saying their pleasantries, Chesca Tan quickened her pace and immediately pulled Momo Soo away to chat. She deliberately left Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen behind
Chapter 182 Fade Chen was walking right behind them. Although there were separated by some distance in between, he could still hear their conversation loud and clear. It was nothing more than to encourage Momo Soo to seize the opportunity of meeting with the rich and powerful of Hanover City and leave them with a lasting impression of herself. At the same time, Chesca Tan repeatedly insinuated the good chemistry between their families, hinting that there could be a possible joint venture underway once an opportunity arose. Momo Soo was never a fan of these events, but after a brief consultation with Fade Chen that this was a societal norm, she went with it anyways. They made their way into the venue after chatting for a while. Chessca Tan started introducing Momo Soo as a member of the Soo Family in South Bay City to the various millionaires of Hanover City. Moreover, with Momo Soo's sweet and lovely appearance, she quickly became the center of attention, with a lot of people buttering themselves up to her. Chesca Tan was able to find some time in between and she walked towards the other two, her face blanketed by dark clouds as she looked at Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang who were eating. She growled at them and spoke in a low tone, "Come with me." Both Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang were feeling a little displeased, but they followed her to the corner of the room anyways. Without Mom Solo with them, Chesca Tan get rid of her sweet disguise as she looked at them with a straight face and said, "I'll just tell you the truth. Attendees of this gala are the rich and powerful of Hanover City. Their net worth is at least in the ten millions. If it weren't for the fact that Momo had insisted, I would've never let people like you come to a place like this." "People like us!" Fade Chen's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening Chesca Tan peeked at him indifferently and she added, "That wasn't an insult, this is how society works. If you don't belong to one of the higher ups, the gap would only get wider from here." "Be mindful of your actions and be careful of what you say tonight. Don't cause any trouble, because you won't be able to afford the consequences." Chesca Tan said, her voice mixed in with a hint of warning. "Also, be mindful of your image when you're eating to not expose yourselves as bumpkins. You're embarrassing me." "Senior, we.." Even the well- tempered Yuri Zhang was starting to get a little pissed off. However, Chessca Tan's condescending attitude didn't stop there as she said, "Don't call me your senior. Know your place. Hide in a corner at best, don't show up and humiliate yourselves." Chesca Tan stole a glance behind her when she heard footsteps and saw that it was Momo Soo walking in her direction, so she said hastily, "Sure, it's also an opportunity for people like you to be able to attend a gala like this. Have yourselves a little self- consciousness and seize the opportunity. Maybe that rich young lady over there's in a good mood and she'll sponsor you thousands of yuan. Itll be enough for your spending in the next couple of years." "No, we..." Yuri Zhang chimed in. But before she could finish, a smile crept its way onto Chessca Tan's face as she turned around to come face to face with Momo Soo. Still beaming brightly, she asked, "Momo, how is it going? Those are the young and talented men of Hanover City. I can help you set up a meeting if you're interested in any of them." Momo Soo smiled politely and said, "I'll pass. Also, senior, they seem to be talking about you, so why don't you join them back there? "They're talking about me!" Chesca Tan face lit up with astonishment as she smoothed the creases on her dress and made her way back to the group of people. Momo Soo stuck her tongue out at Chesca Tan behind her back, then smiled at Yuri Zhang and Fade Chen as she said, "I can finally breathe. They're just a group of people smiling fakely and talking endlessly about stocks, corporations, funds, capital markets and what not. It's so boring." "By the way, senior didn't do anything to you guys, right?" Momo Soo couldn't help but ask when she noticed the defeated expression on Yuri Zhang's face. Yuri Zhang didn't want to put Momo Soo through the trouble, so she just smiled and said, "It's fine. Brother Chen and I were just eating, everything's just fine." "Good then!" Momo Soo nodded and came closer as she took a slice of apple from the plate that Fade Chen was holding. She stuffed it into her mouth and started chewing noisily. "These people, I can't seem to figure them out. They said it was a dinner, but there's nothing to eat at all. I can't believe I skipped dinner for this! To stand there just talking to them for so long has made me both mentally and physically exhausted." Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang's moods changed for the better upon landing their gaze on Momo Soo who was chewing up the fruits with one hand covering her mouth. Instantly, Chessca Tan's words flew out of their minds as they laughed out loud together. The three of them continued eating and chatting on one side, while the conversation in Chesca Tan group gradually heated up. Among them, a tall and handsome man wearing a suit seemed to be leading the conversation, with several other young men and women surrounding him as they chatted away enthusiastically. The same couldn't be said for Chessca Tan though, she could barely get herself involved in the conversation with that ingratiating look on her face. Evidently, she was not as high-up as she thought she was. The few of them seemed to have come across an interesting topic, with their voices getting louder by the second. Among them, a woman in a red dress said, "Have you guys heard that Master Guo got beaten up?" "I did. I heard it's quite serious too. What happened? I would never have expected that someone's daring enough to land a finger on Master Guo in our Hanover City." A man answered. The woman dressed in red rolled her eyes and said, "I have some details." "What sort of details? Tell us!" The others were beginning to get intrigued and the crowd became increasingly eager. The woman in red answered mysteriously, "So this was how it went. Master Guo went on a trip at the hot springs, and he met a rookie actress from Bay City who was filming for an advertisement. She must've been a pretty one, because Master Guo took a liking in her." "So, Master Guo asked the actress to dinner, and hinted some things along the way. You guys should know what they are." Everyone nodded in response. It was evident that they had already gotten used to such unspoken rules in society. The woman in red continued, "You guys would never have guessed the ending. Not only did the actress refuse Master Guo, she also asked her boyfriend to go with her, which ended up with him beating the hell out of Master Guo." "No way, how dare they beat up Master Guo. Do they have a death wish?" Someone exclaimed. The woman in red said, "He wasn't just beat up for fun, he was seriously beat up. I also heard that Master Guo was forced on his knees to apologize." "What? They made Master Guo apologize on his knees? How did that happen?" People were shaking their heads in disbelief. "Don't they know that Master Guo's father, Dominic Guo is the hotshot of the entertainment industry in Hanover City? Have they lost their minds? Not only did they lose the opportunity, they even had his son beat up?" "She was probably not local and unaware of Master Guo's reputation. This whole thing was just huge misunderstanding." "Hmph, it could be a misunderstanding. Just you wait until Master Guo wraps his head around it. The actress can forget about making it big entirely, she's just waiting to be banned from the industry." "The actress is a complete fool, if you ask me. It's pure luck to have yourself fancied by Master Guo as a rookie. Who'd knew that she didn't have good taste. This is simply, tsk, tsk." "True, speaking of unspoken rules, we have so many female celebrities in Hanover City waiting in line to get close to Master Guo. Yet, none of them even stood a chance." "If you ask me, her innocence is just an act to play hard to get with Master Guo. She just didn't think that she'd hit a snag. I mean, she could be in tears, regretting about it so much right now!"
Chapter 183 A few of them were getting gradually excited as they spoke, laughing gleefully from time to time. Their conversation was steered towards their complete failure to understand the actress' refusal towards Master Guo, despising and defaming her along the way. Fade Chen and the gang, who were originally in a good mood heard this, and their expressions immediately darkened. This was because the protagonist of their conversation, the actress who was so-called "playing innocent" was no other than Yuri Zhang. Momo Soo had an extremely bad temper and was easily provoked. Seeing those people talking recklessly had made her so angry that she slammed the plate of fruits onto the table and walked towards them, boiling with anger. Yuri Zhang's face was filled with worry as she tried to hold Momo Soo back, consoling, "Please don't go. I'm fine, it's okay." "But I can't stand them talking about you like that, Yuri." Momo Soo huffed angrily. Yuri Zhang's face turned grey, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she said, "Momo, I knew that something like this would happen the moment I signed the contract. Being a celebrity, it's difficult to please everyone. Rumors are just what they are." "But they've crossed a line..." Momo Soo couldn't bring herself to calm down. Yuri Zhang tried to talk some sense into her, "Above all, we're here because senior had invited us. It's not going to be good for her if you get into an argument with them." Although she wasn't a fan of Chessca Tan's snobby attitude, but all things aside, she did manage to entertain them as guests here. After hearing so, Momo Soo could only try to hold back her anger for now by stuffing a few pieces of fruit into her mouth. She said, "Parties like these are no fun. Let's come up with an excuse to leave later." "Sure." Yuri Zhang nodded in reply The anger on this side was just beginning to subside, but none of them in Chessca Tan's posse had the intention to refrain themselves. They were just getting started. It was to the extent that Chesca Tan even waved at Momo Soo and asked, "Momo, you studied in Bay City, didn't you? The celebrities from Bay City as well, you must know some things. Come here and tell us. What's wrong with that innocent acting bitch who's foolish enough to reject Master Guo's unspoken rule?" Chessca Tan's group were grinning from ear to ear, looking very interested in this conversation. "That's what she is. Foolish." "A female celebrity from Bay City, maybe she didn't know our Master Guo's real identity." "She's just a bitch who doesn't know what's good for her, if you ask me." Yuri Zhang just managed to gather her composure when she heard all the nasty comments, and couldn't help but feel down in the dumps again. She kept her head low as she bit her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. Fade Chen rushed over and gently held Yuri Zhang in his embrace as he began comforting her softly. Thanks to Momo Soo's temper, she couldn't hold it any longer when she heard the words and she erupted furiously, "Do you even know what really happened? Don't talk rubbish if you don't know anything about it!" They were stunned because obviously, they didn't anticipate such a huge reaction from her. A glum look appeared on their faces as they looked at Momo Soo, before their gaze landed on Chesca Tan. Chessca Tan's face was drained of its color in an instant. She knew what they were trying to indicate: she had brought someone who was ignorant of the social workings with her to the party. Surely, that meant that she had to deal with it herself. Displeased, Chesca Tan quickened her pace towards Momo Soo and growled in a low voice, "Momo, what's gotten into you, raising your voice at everyone? Apologize, quickly." Just as Momo Soo was starting to have a better impression of Chesca Tan, she did nothing but to completely disappoint her instead. Momo Soo snorted rudely and said, "You want me to apologize? What a joke! If you really want to hear my opinion, you guys are the ones who need to apologize." "Momo, you've gone too far. These people are.. For instance, Mikael Xu or Master Xu here, is..." said Chessca Tan as she pointed at the tall and good looking man in a suit. But Momo Soo interrupted her and said, "I don't care who you are. You've defiled her for no reason, and what for?" "Also, don't judge others with that petty standard of yours. You may think that the unspoken rules are glorious, but don't assume that others feel the same way as well. When you gaze into the abyss, so shall it stare back at you. You guys are ridiculous." Momo Soo erupted into a ball of flames, attacking everyone with her words. Chesca Tan group was made up of the rich and famous in Hanover City. They had never experienced a scolding like this before, and they were immediately visibly irked at the insults that were being thrown at them. The woman in her red dress who started the conversation in the first place especially, was aggravated. She threw her champagne glass onto the floor and glared furiously at Momo Soo, "Are you scolding us?" "It would be an insult to my lips if I did." Momo Soo answered, her voice filled with hatred. Chesca Tan, right now, was a mixture of anxiety and fury. She quickly bowed in repentance towards the group of people, then glared at Momo Soo and growled at her, "Momo Soo, what is wrong with you? I brought you here to get you acquainted with the noble, and you came here to look for trouble. Besides, we're just casually talking about a puny celebrity, what does it have to do with you anyways?" "I don't need it." Momo Soo puffed furiously, then stole a glance at Yuri Zhang. Chesca Tan looked in the same direction that she was looking at and she was stunned. After a brief pause, she looked at Momo Soo in realization and said, "I remember that you've told me about your roommate who was good at singing, and that her popularity rose during one of your school's art festivals. That's her, right? The actress who'd rejected Master Guo?" Chessca Tan had her finger pointed at Yuri Zhang. Momo Soo snorted, she didn't give a direct answer but her body language betrayed her, affirming to what Chessca Tan had just said In the blink of an eye, everyone, including the woman in red, was looking towards Yuri Zhang. Usually, one would feel embarrassed if someone's heard them gossiping about others, but they were different. They took one look at Yuri Zhang before their faces beamed with pride and arrogance with not a shred of conscientiousness. Even more so, they started checking her out from the top to bottom with a condescending look on their faces. The woman in red had done so specifically. Puckering her lips, she said disdainfully, "I just can't figure out what she has that I don't. What was it that Master Guo saw in her?" Momo Soo glared at the woman in red. If it weren't for Yuri Zhang who had grabbed onto her in time, she would've made her way towards them and given her a decent beating Chessca Tan found herself in a dilemma. It wasn't ideal that she was talking behind others' back and was caught in the act. However, the group that she was gossiping with were the rich and the famous, all of which she wanted to butter up to. She couldn't afford to offend any of them. Chesca Tan was in the middle of coming up with a solution when someone shouted, "I just got off the phone with Master Guo and he said he'll be here soon. So hype up, guys, let's give Master Guo a warm welcome later." As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the room stirred in enthusiasm. This was because said Master Guo, aka Haldon Guo, was considered the most privileged out of everyone here. After all, there were only two other big shots who preceded Master Guo's father, Dominic Guo's social status in Hanover City. One of them was Stirlake City's hotshot Hubert Qian, also known as Big Brother Qian, and the other was Shawn Hu, the head of a martial arts aristocratic family, the Hu Family. These two were the equivalent to Bay City's Jimmy Wei and Aaron Wan.
Chapter 184 Big Brother Qian's son was a man in his mid-thirties who ran errands for his father, so he was not one to mix with this bunch. The other was Shawn Hu's son, who was said to have joined a special task force, so he wasn't one to belong to the crowd either. Therefore, those two hotshots aside, Haldon Guo, the Master Guo was next in line on the list of iconic figures in Hanover City Master Guo would be arriving anytime now. Yuri Zhang, who was directly involved in an altercation with Master Guo, and Fade Chen, who had beat him into a pulp were still here. Even more so, all of them had gotten their way because she'd invited them. The thought of it made Chesca Tan face turn pale as she started to panic. Her initial intentions were to build rapport with Momo Soo in order to stand a chance of collaborating with the Soo Family. But, Chesca Tan would never sacrifice herself to piss off the local Guo Family just for Momo Soo who lived far in the south. Chesca Tan face darkened in an instant, and she said to Momo Soo, "Momo, why didn't you tell me straight off the bat that you had offended Master Guo?!" Momo Soo answered her angrily, "What does it have anything to do with you?" "Of course it has everything to do with me! You people have crossed Master Guo, and now he's coming over. If you guys were to come face to face, he'll blame me for sure." Chessca Tan said again, panicked and infuriated, "Momo Soo, I look to you as a friend, and I invited you to a dinner like this, but you're making me your victim. How could you?" Momo Soo was so angry that she was about to burst into flames, she contradicted without even thinking twice, "A friend? You have got to be kidding me. You're saying that the reason of your invitation for me to Hanover City, was merely for a trip, and not because you wanted to butter up to me? It was because you heard that I came from the Soo Family and you wanted to do business with my family. Would you still extend the invite then, had you not known that I was related to them?" "Besides, I didn't want to come here at all. It was you who'd insisted that we come. You're turning the blame on me now, because you're scared." Momo Soo snorted coldly and said, "Chessca Tan, I knew you were petty, and I also knew of you as a snob, but I never knew that you were so shameless." Chesca Tan was so angry that her face had turned red as a tomato. She growled, "Momo Soo, I took you around, treating you to every meal. But what you're saying to me now, you..." "Good for you! Is it money that you want? I can compensate you with ten times the price right now." Momo Soo was in a blood-boiling rage, she wasn't about to back down either. Right at this second, the man who had shouted moments ago spoke again, "Master Guo is only one kilometer away. Get ready, guys. Let's welcome Master Guo together." The atmosphere was suddenly passionate again. Some people even rushed out of the room to give him a warm welcome along his way here. Anyone could tell that this Master Guo's existence was more than a mere legend in Hanover City. Chesca Tan, who had heard this, was beyond angry and anxious that she couldn't care less anymore. She tried to push Momo Soo away and said, "All of you, get out through the back door. Quick, don't let Master Guo see you, or i'll be in trouble." Momo Soo pushed Chessca Tan's hand away unapologetically and snorted coldly, "You want us to go? Sure, but we're leaving through the front entrance. You cowards may be fearful of Master Guo, but we're not." Momo Soo and her gang were about to step out of the room as she announced their departure. At the same time, the bustling crowd outside were sparking up a commotion, as Master Guo's ride could vaguely be seen from a distance. At this rate, the gang was bound to encounter Master Guo on their way out Seeing this, Chesca Tan was so anxious that her eyes were about to go up in flames. All she wanted to do was to pull them back into the room. Somewhere among the red-dress women's group, a faint smile crept up the face of the tall and handsome young man as he said to Chesca Tan, "Chesca Tan, there's no need to panic. It's not as bad as it looks." "Master Xu..." Chesca Tan turned towards the man to look at him, her eyes were doubtful yet expectant. The man's name was Mikael Xu, and he was also a member of the rich and powerful of Hanover City. Though his status may have been a little lower than Master Guo's, it was way higher than Chesca Tan. Mikael Xu smiled confidently and said, "Master Guo and I are close. I figured that he would honor me if I were to explain the situation to him, and everything will go back to normal once the misunderstanding is resolved." Chessca Tan couldn't hide the joy on her face as she thanked him over and over again, "Thank you, Master Xu. Thank you very much. If there's anything that I can do for Master Xu in the future, the Tan Family will be glad to return the favor." "It's not that serious." Mikael Xu smirked, shaking his head lightly. He stole a glance at Momo Soo with a glimmer in his eyes and said, "The girl, Momo Soo, is she your Junior?" Chesca Tan was dazed, but she immediately caught on to what he had meant when she saw the look on Mikael Xu's face. It looks like Master Xu had taken a fancy to Momo Soo. As a response, Chessca Tan answered immediately, "She's my Junior in her first year from South Bay City. Her family's considered quite well-off, they run their own business. If Master Xu is interested, I can go talk to her." She paused for a while, before her eyes turned cold as she said heartlessly in a low whisper, "If Master Xu is in a rush, there's always drugs. Consider it done tonight." Mikael Xu only smiled, shook his head and said, "She's a fiesty one, that's interesting. We can take it slow. It's no hurry." "Then, Master Xu.." Chessca Tan looked at Mikael Xu expectantly Mikael Xu offered himself and said, "Take me there. I'll talk to them about settling the misunderstanding with Master Guo." Chesca Tan was overcome with joy as she led the way for Mikael Xu, flattering him along the way, "Momo will be so grateful to you! She'll definitely shed tears of gratitude, and even be willing to sacrifice herself for you if she were to know that Master Xu offered to assist them in solving this problem of theirs." Mikael Xu was silent, but the smile on his face had betrayed him, exposing him of his proud ego then and there. Fade Chen and the gang, on the other hand, found themselves being squished at the door due to the impending welcome party for Master Guo. In turn, it didn't take long for Chessca Tan and Mikael Xu to catch up to them. Chesca Tan shouted from behind her, "Momo So." Momo Soo turned her head, displeased as she said, " thought you're afraid? What are you doing here then? Aren't you scared that Master Guo might see you?" Chessca Tan's face burned upon hearing the sarcasm in her voice, but she quickly came back to her senses at the thought of more serious dealings at hand. She forced a smile on her face as she said, "Momo, this is Master Xu, Mikael Xu. He's good friends with Master Guo, and he's willing to offer to resolve the misunderstanding between you and the master." The three of them were a little flabbergasted as they set their eyes on Master Xu. Above all, he belonged to the same group as the red-robed woman who'd dishonored Yuri Zhang just moments ago, so it was a little suspicious that he'd offered to lend a hand in the situation. Mikael Xu right now was smiling politely, and with his gaze fixed on Momo Soo, he said, "I'm just seeking to get acquainted with Miss Momo." The look they gave and the words they said meant otherwise. It only took one look from Fade Chen before he immediately understood what was really going on. Instantaneously, Momo Soo snorted and said, "That's not necessary. We can handle this on our own." Mikael Xu was stunned. Obviously, he didn't think that she would refuse his offer.
Chapter 185 Chesca Tan was boiling with rage. She tried to maintain whatever was left of her composure as she said to Momo Soo, "Momo, learn how to appreciate the opportunity that Master Xu is presenting to you. If you must know, it'll be far too late for any of you once Master Guo arrives." Mikael Xu added, a hint of warning in his voice, "Miss Momo may not be aware of this, but Master Guo is very bad tempered. There really will be no turning back once that engine of his is ignited." Momo Soo looked at Mikael Xu with disgust and said, "Let's not be corny with how we address each other, we're not that close. Besides, I don't give a damn whether he's Master Guo or a son of a b*tch. Either way, he doesn't scare us." "Momo Soo, you..." Chesca Tan was seething, to the point that she almost broke out in a curse. The blue veins on Mikael Xu's forehead started to twitch a little, but the tension that he'd felt in his heart was immediately released when he came across Momo So's lovely and delicate face. He tried again, "Miss Soo, I just wanted to help you guys, I mean no malice. After all, we're acquaintances, at best." "Oh really?" Momo Soo chimed, her tone filled with irritation and impatience Chessca Tan retorted and said, "Momo, don't go overboard here. Master Xu's doing a favor for you, so you should be honored. Don't be ungrateful." Mikael Xu was starting to get annoyed as he spoke in a low voice, "I heard that Master Guo's spent tens of millions of yuan to hire an advanced Yellow Level martial arts master this time around. If you really get into a fight with him, you might be." He didn't finish his sentence, but his words meant a threat to anyone who's listening. Momo Soo was a little astonished when she heard him, but then a smile crept onto her face as she said, "Advanced Yellow Level, you say? You can hire one hundred advanced Yellow Level martial arts master and yet be no match for us when it comes to martial arts." After saying her piece of mind, Momo Soo went over to Fade Chen and put her arms around his intimately. She smiled and said, "Brother Fade, if there really is a fight, you must protect us!" "Of course I will." Fade Chen grinned, "Nothing but a few puny minions. Nothing I can't handle." Michael Xu's eyes narrowed into a fine line at the sight of Momo Soo and Fade Chen's intimacy. His gaze was as cold as ice, and as deadly as daggers. Chesca Tan chimed in as well, "Just cut the crap. Do you know what it means to be an advanced Yellow Level martial arts master? It means you might as well be sitting ducks, they'll take you out effortlessly like squashing puny ants." "They're still no match to my Brother Fade." Momo Soo leaned against Fade Chen, a look of assurance on her face. The scene almost made Chessca Tan and Mikael Xu's eyes light up in flames Then and there, a wave of applause could be heard coming from the front entrance of the villa. The crowd seemed to be surrounding a young man in his mid-twenties, as they made their way in with an intimidating pose. That young man was indeed Master Guo - the Haldon Guo. Haldon Guo was in the building. It was too late to hide now. Fade Chen furrowed his brows slightly as he fumbled for his phone and dialed a number. He said a few words to the other end of the phone before he hung up. Chessca Tan face turned pale as she looked towards Mikael Xu, concerned. Mikael Xu snorted coldly and said, "Sit tight. We let them suffer a little before I offer my assistance. Otherwise, some people will never learn the importance of being grateful." "Sure. That is wise of you, Master Xu." Chessca Tan complimented him almost right away. Master Guo made his way into the villa grinning from ear to ear, completely engulfed in the crowd. His eyes quickly scanned the room, and his gaze quickly landed on Momo Soo and her companions who were on their way out. In an instant, Master Guo's expression turned ice cold, his voice sent chills down their spine as he exclaimed, "You guys! Everyone else was dazed and perplexed, so they looked in the direction of Master Guo and Fade Chen collectively with blank expressions on their faces. While at the same time, the comrades of the red-dressed woman who had just found out the details, passed on the information they had gathered through whispers. It didn't take long before everyone was caught up to speed. Everyone now had full disclosure, that these three were the ones who'd fought with him, and they were the ones who had injured him. The hustle and bustle of the crowd died down immediately. Every soul in the room had their eyes on Fade Chen and his gang. Every single one of them had a smile plastered on their faces as if waiting for a movie to start, standing by to watch how Master Guo was about to subdue them. Fade Chen stole a glance at Master Guo and said flatly, "Move aside, you son of a b*tch. We're trying to get out of here." Everyone who'd heard it let out a gasp, as the worst case scenario comes to mind. They all looked towards Fade Chen and started discussing among themselves. "Oh my god. He's an arrogant one, isn't he? How dare he talk down to Master Guo like that?" "He's courting death. How irrational." "Judging by the look on Master Guo's face, I'd say that he's really angry." Mikael Xu snickered and said, "Such ungrateful people. Master Guo's not a force to be reckoned with." Chessca Tan sniggered obsequiously. Haldon Guo trembled with fury when he had heard what Fade Chen had said and glared at him, as he retorted, "How dare you talk to me like that? You're a dead man." "Me? You better think it through, haven't you had yourself well beaten up the last time?" Fade Chen sneered, scowling at Haldon Guo. Haldon Guo felt a chill run down his spine, his whole body began cowering in fear as he subconsciously took a few steps backwards. Right then, behind him stood a middle-aged man in his fifties with a massive scar on his face. He reached out and held Haldon Guo down by his shoulders to keep his feet on the ground. Stealing a glance at Fade Chen, he murmured, "Was he the one who'd hit you the last time?" Haldon Guo could feel his cheeks burning, but he nodded anyways and answered, "That's him." Scarface twitched his lips, exposing a smirk as he said, "Don't worry, you have me here. He's a dead man now." Haldon Guo immediately became confident upon hearing those words, and he said, "Young man, don't be too proud of yourself. I will make you pay ten times what you previously did to me." On that note, Haldon Guo ordered his subordinates, "Hold this one down, and bring the girl to me. Since she didn't listen to me the last time, l'l have to take my time with her tonight." A group of bodyguards rushed towards Fade Chen, while another group of them went to grab Yuri Zhang. Yuri Zhang trembled at the sight, but Momo Soo braved herself as a human shield, standing in front of Yuri Zhang. Haldon Guo's eyes lit up when he met eyes with Momo Soo. He licked his lips and said, "Hey there, another pretty woman, I didn't see you the last time. Bring her to me as well. I'll have the thrill of my time with a threesome tonight." In the blink of an eye, the group of bodyguards hurried their way towards Yuri Zhang and Momo Soo. Somewhere in the crowd were people who just wanted to stay for the show. Some were shaking their heads with pity, while some were secretly envious of the duo. After all, they were indeed two stunning beauties. If they could have their turn with them, they were bound to experience immense pleasure. However, none of them dared to speak up since Master Guo had spoken Mikael Xu, who saw that Master Guo was about to lay his hands on Momo Soo, twitched his eyes nervously, as the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Chapter 186 Momo Soo was the only one that he had ever cared about. That was why he was indifferent when Haldon Guo had ordered to grab Fade Chen and Yuri Zhang. In fact, he was rather supportive of the idea. But now that Momo Soo was about to suffer, Mikael Xu couldn't just sit there. He hesitated for a while, before he got up and shouted, "Master Guo!" Haldon Guo turned his head towards where Mikael Xu's voice was coming from and said, "Mikael Xu, what are you doing?" Mikael Xu smiled faintly, pointed at Momo Soo and said, "Master Guo, Miss Soo and I are friends. I was wondering if Master Guo would do me a favor, and let Miss Soo go?" "Uh..." Haldon Guo's brows furrowed, obviously not expecting Mikael Xu to help Momo Soo out of this mess. Everyone has the look of astonishment on their face. After all, they were completely aware of the fact that Momo Soo and Mikael Xu were mere acquaintances. But the Momo Soo right now who had heard this rebuked, "Since when have we become friends? I don't know you at all. Don't you dare play that card to get close to me." Upon hearing that, Mikael Xu's expression fell, and his eyes were filled with fury. Chessca Tan, who was standing aside, shouted, "Momo, apologize to Master Xu! Now! How can you say something like that when Master Xu's trying to help you?" To her dismay, Momo Soo answered her disdainfully, "Have I ever asked for his help?" The crowd began whispering among themselves all of a sudden. Even Haldon Guo couldn't wipe the smug smile on his face as he said to Mikael Xu, "Mikael Xu, it looks to me that this young lady doesn't know you!" Mikael Xu couldn't help but to frown as he took in a deep breath, all to suppress the rage boiling up in him and said, "Miss Soo, I just really wanted to help you here." He paused, before he said again, "Miss Soo, since you are from South Bay City, you may not be familiar with the happenings in Hanover City. Master Guo was never known to be merciful to his enemies." On that note, Mikael Xu stole a glance at Haldon Guo, cupping his fist with his hands. Haldon Guo nodded, as he looked towards Momo Soo and said, "I'll let you leave with Mikael, since you weren't involved in the previous argument. This is my offer to you, for Mikael's sake. Mikael Xu's lips broke into a smile when he heard the words coming out of Master Guo's mouth. He turned to look at Momo Soo with pride written all over his face. Chesca Tan, on the other hand, couldn't wait to call out to her as she said, "Momo, come here quickly. Master Guo just showed you mercy, and Master Xu did you a favor. Don't let it slip away" Momo Soo curled her lips and seemed unmoved as she said, "I don't care about Master Xu or Master Guo. What can you do to me if I refuse to leave?" The few people who were smiling before had the grin from their smiles erased as their faces were drained of color upon hearing what she had said. Haldon Guo snorted, then snarled, "You ungrateful little bitch. I'll let my men have their turn with you after mine." Mikael Xu's face turned an even darker shade, starting to get a little pissed off. Chesca Tan yelled hastily, "Momo, what the hell are you talking about? Apologize to Master Guo and Master Xu immediately!" Momo Soo had dismissed her entirely, and she pointed at Haldon Guo, as she said to Fade Chen, "Brother Fade, that man has a dirty mouth. I'd like to give him a few slaps later." Fade Chen nodded lightly and answered, "It's just a few slaps, no big deal. I'll let you rip his mouth off too, if you want to." "What the f*ck did you just say?" Haldon Guo was infuriated, glaring at Fade Chen as he growled at him. Mikael Xu, who stood in the other corner of the room, could no longer contain the rage fuming inside of him as he said coldly, "Momo Soo, you shameless and ungrateful little thing. Now brace yourself for Master Guo's fury." On that note, Mikael Xu cupped his fist with his hands and said humbly, "Master Guo, apologize for putting you through that just now. Whatever you want to do to them now, is entirely up to you!" Chesca Tan threw Momo Soo a stone cold glare, a hint of hatred evident in her eyes, obviously blaming Momo Soo for her ungratefulness. Not only had she incriminated herself, she'd gotten the former into this mess as well. Haldon Guo pointed his finger at the Fade Chen and the two girls and yelled at his men, "Don't just stand there, grab them!" There was a rumble in the crowd, then a group of bodyguards in black darted towards them. Haldon Guo watched the scene unfold in front of his eyes, with a condescending smile as if he was the God who was in control of everything, including the fate of these three souls. He couldn't wait to see Fade Chen kneeling in front of him, begging for mercy. Haldon Guo had wanted him to repay whatever happened to him in the hotel the other day tenfold. The guests were becoming increasingly hyped up, scrutinizing Fade Chen and his gang with gloat written all over their face. They were excited by the scene that was unfolding before their eyes. Some were secretly concerned about Fade Chen, but didn't dare to stand up for him because of Master Guo. "Bring me the two girls, and give the boy a good beating! Beat the hell out of him!" Haldon Guo shouted with a wave of his hand. In a wink, a lot of them bolted towards Fade Chen menacingly Haldon Guo burst into laughter, Mikael Xu was dark and gloomy, his eyes still fixated on Fade Chen; Chesca Tan was resentful and was cursing under her breath. Fade Chen had brought this upon himself. She had invited Momo Soo to the party because she wanted to use her to make friends with the young and the rich and to gain leverage for herself. Her plan was about to come into fruition with Master Xu, but they had messed it up, which displeased Chesca Tan to the extreme. For a moment there, almost every single one of them thought that Fade Chen, who was surrounded by the bodyguards, would not make it out alive. But just as they began attacking him, Fade Chen, who had been standing still in his place this whole time, finally made a move They were simple moves, simple punches and simple kicks: nothing fancy much. His feet had never even left the ground. A series of "pow's that could be heard alongside his movements. The guards were no match for Fade Chen at all. He outed them one by one with a single move, sending them flying across the room. "What, what the hell's going on here?" "That young man is a martial arts master!" "What level is that? It's amazing!" The crowd were still in the middle of a discussion, but Fade Chen had already rushed towards Yuri Zhang and Momo Soo in a flash. He grabbed onto the guards who tried to snatch them, one in each hand and flung them onto the ground. The guards yelped out in pain and were thrown directly towards Haldon Guo's line of sight. Haldon Guo turned pale with fright at the sight of this. He had yet to recover from the injuries that Fade Chen had bestowed onto him, but he was once again placed in danger due to this man's brilliant moves. He couldn't help but panic, his instincts leading him to retreat. Instead, he staggered and tripped over himself, almost falling over. Just as the flying guards were about to slam into Haldon Guo, Scarface, who was standing behind him let out a battle cry as he deflected them off with his fists. Two distinctive, yet muffled sounds could be heard from the bouncers. Scarface had hit them both hard on the chest, which sent them flying in the opposite direction once again. Blood spat out of their mouths as they landed heavily on the ground and stopped moving. Everyone was immensely shocked at this point and once again started to engage in heated discussion.
Chapter 187 "Who is that? He's amazing!" "You weren't paying attention at all, were you? That't the martial arts master that Master Guo paid high money to hire. I heard that he's at least an advanced Yellow Level holder." "Advanced Yellow Level, no wonder he's so good." "I bet the bouncers are having the worst day of their lives. They were merely thrown out by Fade Chen, only to find themselves half-beaten to death by one of their own." "They're just two thugs, aren't they? I'm sure they don't mean a thing to Master Guo. All he has to do is spend more money to hire more of them." "That's an advanced Yellow Level master's moves. That kid is done for." "He will be. He's too arrogant for his own good, he'd forgotten whose territory this belongs to!" In the midst of the commotion, Haldon Guo's expressions returned to normal. He thanked Scarface, then glared resentfully at Fade Chen, gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, you're dead." And on that note, Haldon Guo gave Scarface a look as he said, "He's all yours." Scarface nodded appreciatively. With a light jump, he showed himself right in front of Fade Chen. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking at Fade Chen arrogantly and disdainfully with his cold eyes. He ---- smirked and said flatly, "Not bad for an intermediate Yellow Level master." "Though, you shouldn't have messed with the people you couldn't afford to mess with. Scarface threw a stone cold glare at Fade Chen Fade Chen was expressionless, even smiling faintly as he retorted, "I don't give a damn about them. All I know, is that I will not be merciful to those who bully my friends and 1. Scarface sneered as he said, "That's a ridiculous ideology from young people like you. You don't know your limits, and you don't know when to stop. You must know that there are so many magnificent people in the world who are much better than you. It takes a real fool to act on impulse when you don't even have the slightest idea of where they're coming from." Fade Chen shook his head and said monotonously, "I have to disagree. I think that it takes passion and enthusiasm to stand up for your friends. It would be an honor if I were to lose. Besides, I'm not going to lose!" Scarface was in agreement with Fade Chen during the first half of his sentence, nodding his head a little. But he was stunned, and sneered coldly when he caught on to the other half of the sentence. He retorted, "You're not going to lose? You arrogant bastard. You have no idea what you're talking about. There's only a few people in the entire Chinese civilization that has had the audacity to say such a thing. You can cut the crap, you subservient little roach." "Is that so?" Fade Chen retorted blandly, "I just thought that anything's better than being some guy's faithful b*tch." Scarface's expression immediately turned an ugly shade of black as soon as he heard the words. He put down his arms that were crossed in front of his chest, his voice a trembling snarl, "What the f*ck did you just called me?!" Fade Chen picked his ears indifferently, and said flatly," called you a b*tch." "You... you're courting death!" Scarface growled, rattling his teeth. "Let's cut the trash talking, I've heard enough. You came here to fight, didn't you? Otherwise, get out of my sight." Fade Chen blew impatiently on his pinky finger in a smooth provoking motion, his face as calm as a millpond. "Good, good, good!" Scarface shouted, his voice getting louder and deeper with each word. His eyes narrowed into a fine line, sending an ice like gaze that pierced through everyone in the room. His visibly wide-eyed expression sent a domineering aura that spread throughout the entire room, blanketing the villa with a depressing atmosphere. The guests could feel a sinking sensation throughout their bodies as a sense of fear crept up onto them. "What's going on? Why do I feel like it's getting cold in here?" "I'm shaking, and I can't control it at all." "You guys probably wouldn't know this, but this is what a master's posse feels like. Just by using the atmosphere to suppress the opponent they can defeat their opponent without even lifting a finger." "That boy is a sitting duck. He's infuriated the master." "I hope he doesn't get us involved as well." "What a pity for the two chicks. If only I could.. "Don't talk rubbish. Didn't you hear what Master Guo wants to do to them? He wants a threesome. So stop your bullshit." Amidst the tense atmosphere, Scarface had finally made a move. He bellowed, and with his fist that was the size of a bowl and an impeccable momentum, he smashed Fade Chen hard in the chest. The air crackled wildly as the fist hit its target, and everyone staggered back from the stream of rotating airflow that accompanied the tremendous strength and pressure. The opponent had attacked, but Fade Chen remained as cool as a cucumber. Not even a hint of fear was reflected on his face. He retorted, "Finally. It's just a punch though, nothing much." "You arrogant son of a b*tch!" Scarface snarled, "Take this punch of mine!" Fade Chen stretched lazily and indifferently as he raised his right fist for a forward punch, "Not until you take mine!" Seeing this, the crowd began debating among themselves. "Is the kid stupid? He's about to face death, and yet he's still trying to show off. "Can't believe that's he's actually going to fight with the best. I guess he has a death wish." "Look at that weak punch of his. I'm afraid that his arm might actually shatter into pieces if they actually fight it out." "He's too arrogant for his own good. Kid came from a small town to show off his puny fighting skills in Hanover City. He's asking for trouble indeed." In the midst of the discussion, Haldon Guo was excited that he was finally about to be avenged. Mikael Xu and Chessca Tan who'd hung a look of gloom and resentment on their face, were exhilarated, as if to say: Told you it'd be best to listen to us. Guess that you're regretting it now. "Boom!" Everyone watched as the two fists collided. One was the size of a bowl, coupled with a strong and powerful arm, the other was weak and feeble, partnered with a long and slender appendage. There was almost no need to keep watching. Everyone had already predicted the outcome. But right at the moment of collision, a crisp crack sound could be heard, and then there was a scream that shot up towards the sky loud enough to the sky apa "Well, that's it for the kid. He asked for it." "He went looking for trouble on his own. This serves him right." "Judging from his posture a moment ago, I thought that he could take at least two to three punches. I'd never expected that he'd be gone in one." "That's what you get if you provoke Master Guo. It was his fate all along." Everyone seemed confident, with comments flooding the room one after another. But what they saw was Scarface, wailing as he was sent tumbling in the opposite direction that he had come, his right arm flailing in the air. He was sweating buckets from the pain, as he landed heavily before Haldon Guo, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The entire room was flabbergasted. The words that they said hung in mid-air, while the rest of their words were left stuck in their throats at an impasse. They looked at the scene of the crime with an astounded look on their face. "The master lost. It was one punch, and he lost." "How is this possible? What happened? How was that kid able to defeat a master?" "But he's a master in the advanced Yellow Level, which ranks him in the top ten of Hanover City!" "Could it be that the kid had some help? Maybe that's why he was so fearless." "What the hell is going on? Did anyone manage to get that recorded on their phones?"
Chapter 188 The crowd couldn't stop talking since they couldn't believe what they had just witnessed. The Haldon Guo right now had turned completely pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead. That was because he was standing in the opposite direction of Fade Chen, and managed to have a good look of the scene that unraveled before him. The master that he'd squandered a lot of money on was really defeated by Fade Chen's weak and feeble punch. That one punch had shattered his arm into a million pieces, and sent his body flying out of the room. "How... how could this be? How could he be that skilled?" Haldon Guo looked at Fade Chen. His face drained of color and his body began trembling out of fear. Fade Chen strode forward until he was face to face with Haldon Guo. He got rid of the master with one kick, then looked at Haldon Guo and sneered coldly, "I remember warning you the last time. Seems to me, that you have forgotten about everything that I said!" Haldon Guo shivered as he took a few steps back. Waving his hand, he uttered, "No, I.." The moment that the words left his mouth, only did he realize that his throat was running dry and he could no longer find the words to say. "There's no need to explain anymore. Looks like it's time for me to teach you another lesson." Fade Chen's face turned cold as he gave him a slap across the face. An echoing slap could be heard throughout the villa, and Haldon Guo's face was instantly imprinted with a bright red handprint. Everyone else was left stunned. Haldon Guo didn't fight back. After all, how could a powerless playboy like him stand against a pro like Fade Chen? Fade Chen gave Haldon Guo a few more hard slaps before he stopped abruptly. Haldon Guo secretly let out a sigh of relief, the tension in his heart a little lighter. He thought that he'd gotten lucky this time around since he only had to endure a few slaps, though it didn't feel as painful as the last time. Just as he was getting ahead of himself, Fade Chen turned his head and waved towards Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang. He offered, "Momo, Yuri, he's all yours if you want to teach him a lesson!" Momo Soo jumped in excitement and made her way to him without hesitation as she exclaimed, "Yeah, sure. I've always wanted to slap him, I want to slap him hard. Filthy mouth." Yuri Zhang was a little hesitant. Butat the thought of the hardships that she'd endured, even a kind-hearted girl like her could feel the rage boiling up inside of her as she walked over, a dark cloud over her head. "Just do whatever you want with him. I'll take over if he fights back, or even dodge." Fade Chen said, sneering at Haldon Guo. Haldon Guo quivered, not daring to move another inch. He feared for dear life that his life would be forfeit if Fade Chen had decided to slap him himself. Momo Soo and Yuri Zhang came forward, about to have their turn. Mikael Xu frowned, as if he'd wanted to stop them. Chesca Tan saw what Mikael Xu was trying to do, so she took the initiative and yelled, "Momo, stop now. That's Master Guo, you..." As soon as the words left her mouth, Fade Chen turned to look in her direction with a gaze as sharp as knife. He slapped Chesca Tan hard across the face and snarled, "Shut up, or I won't mind giving you a few slaps either." Chesca Tan held her swollen cheeks in her hands and curled herself up, trembling. She didn't move an inch. Next to her, Mikael Xu couldn't help but to furrow his brows at the sight and said, "It's not decent to hit a girl." "Slap!" Another abrupt sound could be heard as Fade Chen awarded Mikael Xu with a slap across his face and said coldly, "Did I say it was okay for you to open your mouth?" Mikael Xu was infuriated that his face had turned red as a tomato, his instincts immediately kicking into raging mode. However, Fade Chen glowered coldly at him and retorted, "Do you really want to give it a shot?" Mikael Xu's ego immediately deflated like a balloon when he heard this as his entire body went limp. He lowered his head, wholeheartedly giving up on the thought of seeking revenge. After all, Fade Chen had dared to take on Master Guo and get away with it. He would be a piece of cake to deal with After he finished setting the two as an example, Fade Chen turned on his heels only to find that, of all the places that his gaze could reach, every single one of the guests had lowered their heads, afraid to look at him in the eye. As for the two girls, Haldon Guo was in the middle of witnessing the two girls discussing who should go first. He felt extremely uncomfortable and out of place hearing the talk. He had always been the one to bully women in the past, and never in his wildest dreams could he imagine that this day would come. He was secretly rejoicing, however, that he got these two girls instead of Fade Chen, since there was no way that they would be stronger than Fade Chen. Haldon Guo had just begun to think that luck was on his side. Right then, the two girls seemed to have come up with a plan, Yuri Zhang being the first to slap him. A palm landed on Haldon Guo's face, and a loud slap was heard. Though it was a little painful, one could tell that it wasn't as powerful as the slap that Fade Chen had given to him just now. Haldon Guo was delighted, but didn't show it on his face. Eventually, Momo Soo started guiding Yuri Zhang how to do it the right way, her face deadpan, "Yuri, that won't do. You won't be able to exert as much strength and it won't hurt at all. How about you watch as I do it?" And with that note, Momo Soo granted Haldon Guo with another hard slap across his face without a single hint of doubt on her face. Haldon Guo felt a searing pain on his face almost immediately. The slap was still a little lacking compared to Fade Chen's, but it hurt like hell. It was to the extent that the skin on his cheeks were starting to peel off and blood seeped through the wound. The crowd couldn't help but to gasp at the sight of this. This girl was a fierce one, they thought to themselves, so ferocious that she was able to make Haldon Guo's face bleed with just one slap. Yuri Zhang was stunned as well. She looked at Momo Soo and asked, "Mom, how did you." Momo Soo spread her hand open pridefully, revealing the metallic ornament resting on her palm and said, "I had this in my hand." The guests caught a glimpse of the prismatic pendant made of metal in her hand and color drained from their faces at once. Instinctively, they all took a few steps backwards, a look of fear appearing on their faces. As for Fade Chen, he didn't even think that Momo had tricks hidden on her sleeves. "Yuri, this is an interesting little toy. Yes, you have to hold it in such a way that the sharp edge wouldn't be hidden in your palm, and just hit like that. Here, I can show you." Haldon Guo felt a chill running down his spine seeing that the two women were teaching each other how to throw a slap. The fear in his heart grew even stronger than when Fade Chen made an example out of him. His body started quivering, as he trembled a little, "No, don't. I, I was wrong.." The duo dismissed him completely and slapped him anyways, making full use of their time. A few minutes later, blood was oozing from Haldon Guo's face. Not only was his face as swollen as a pig's head, he might as well be disfigured. Momo Soo was slowly getting bored of the same slapping methods after around ten slaps, much to Haldon Guo's dismay. She began looking for other ways to torture him, like pricking his finger, smacking him in the back, and slapping his thighs, every single one of them even more torturous than the last. She had even "accidentally" kicked him in between the thighs, which almost obliterated Haldon Guo's precious assets. It sent him rolling on the ground in immense pain, crying for mercy like there was no tomorrow. The crowd turned pale as they retreated a few more steps backwards, a look of dread on their faces. The men especially were mortified as they clasped their thighs shut unconsciously. After some time, the girls were starting to get tired of all the lesson-teaching. They wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads and the torturing session finally came to a halt. The Haldon Guo right now was a total mess as he laid on the ground. The light had escaped from his eyes, and there was only a little bit fight left in him now. "I think you've learned your lesson. Let's go!" Fade Chen made eye contact with the two ladies and said to them. The crowd gave way to them immediately and no one dared to do otherwise.
Chapter 189 Just as the three of them were about to leave, the sound of car brakes could be heard outside the mansion. It was followed by the hasty sound of footsteps. Hearing this, the crowd looked towards the door. When they saw what was happening, they took a deep breath and moved a few steps back. A group of bodyguards, dressed in black and in shades, stormed into the mansion while shoving people in their way away mercilessly. They divided and stood into two lines facing each other with their heads lowered in sign of respect. The steady sound of lone footsteps could be heard amongst the two lines of guards. It was steady and neither quick or slow as though the person had planned their steps meticulously beforehand and headed towards the mansion. As the footsteps drew near, the crowd could make out the figure of a man. It was a middle-aged man in his fifties. The man was dressed in a tailored burgundy suit, wearing a pair of shades and his hair well-coiffed. He was slightly plump but still had an authoritative and patronizing demeanor. As he came into view, the guests who were crammed to the side exclaimed in surprise, their faces in shock. "This, this is Chief Guo, Dominic Guo!" "Master Guo's father is here. That guy is in trouble." "He is one of the elders of Hanover City. I can't believe that he came in person to this event." Fade Chen heard the buzz and chatter of the guests. He presumed that one of Haldon Guo's friends, who was amongst the invited guests, had contacted the Guo Family to request for Dominic Guo's presence. Walking into the mansion, Dominic Guo looked around at the crowd. As he made eye contact with them, the guests froze in silence. Dominic Guo spotted Haldon Guo, a shapeless lump on the ground. He frowned instantly. With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards and doctors behind him rushed forward, carried Haldon Guo onto the stretcher, and started to leave quickly. Passing Dominic Guo, Haldon Guo glared at Fade Chen and his companions. He gritted his teeth as he said, "Father, they did this to me, you have to avenge me!" Dominic Guo nodded at his son and said, "Yes I will. Rest assured, anyone who lays hands on a Guo Family member will suffer dire consequences." As Haldon Guo was being carried out Dominic Guo had a darkened expression. He spoke icily to Fade Chen and his companions, "You did this to him." Fade Chen replied without emotion. "He deserved it." "How dare you!" Dominic Guo yelled in anger. His eyes were sunken as he gritted his teeth and said, "You outsiders have no right to judge a member of the Guo Family." Fade Chen's expression was unreadable as he spoke. " Fade Chen, will use my own judgement to punish anyone who deserves it. We have no desire to hear your lecture or your admonition. "You... Dominic Guo didn't expect Fade Chen to be so bold and brazen. His eyes flashed in fury as he glared at Fade Chen, "Young man, you are too arrogant!" Fade Chen replied in indifference, "So what? What does this have anything to do with you?" "Really! Alright then!" Dominic sneered scornfully, his expression quickly darkening further like the sky on a rainy day He turned around to face the crowd. He spoke clearly, projecting his voice, "Greetings everyone. This thug beat up my son Haldon Guo. Therefore, I, Dominic Guo, would like to teach him a lesson. Does anyone have anything to say about that?" His words were intended as a direct threat and warning to everyone. Dominic Guo announced this in front of the crowd to prevent them from gossiping about it or even reporting it to the police. These were not an issue for him, but still, he did not want more trouble coming his way. There was silence as no one dared to speak. Dominic Guo nodded in satisfaction and continued. "Alright, thank you for your support. I, Dominic Guo, would like to officially invite you to a banquet at my place, to be held once my son has recovered." Hearing so, many of the guests were thrilled and excited. This was a great opportunity to gain favor with the Guo family. Instantaneously, the crowd and Dominic Guo came to a silent agreement. If they did not reveal today's happenings to outsiders, Dominic Guo would reward them. Dominic Guo looked back darkly at Fade Chen. "You evil man, I am here to avenge my son. What do you have to say?" Fade Chen sneered and said, "Take your revenge then, why give such a long speech. A dog will always return to its vomit." "You.." Dominic Guo was furious. He glared at Fade Chen, and his expression was so grim, as though he was about to murder someone. At this moment, Chesca Tan wanted to continue stirring up the fight, so she addressed Fade Chen loudly. "Fade Chen, you are so full of nonsense. You should kneel down and beg Chief Guo for forgiveness." Mikael Xu, with a dark look, also proceeded to add fuel to the fire, saying "Chief Guo, this thug is from Bay City. He behaves in whatever manner he likes and has completely no respect for the people of Hanover City." "You are asking for trouble!" Dominic Guo spat out the words. He made a gesture and shouted, "Get him!" In an instant, twenty or thirty henchmen in black rushed over to surround them. They seemed formidable in person and highly skilled. Within seconds, Fade Chen and his companions were besieged. These guards were definitely experienced in battle. "Get him! Strike him down!" Dominic Guo roared. At this moment, they were interrupted by a shout "Stop!" The crowd looked towards the sound of the voice. They noticed a young man, who was slightly plump and sweating profusely, running towards them. He was agitated and panicked as he shouted. "Chief Guo, please stop.". Dominic Guo raised his eyebrows as soon as he spotted this man. As the plump man ran in, he made eye contact with Fade Chen and greeted him, "Brother Fade." Fade Chen was surprised as this person was none other than Scott Huang, or nicknamed 'Fatty Huang! Scott Huang took in a few deep breaths, then looked at Dominic Guo and said, "Chief Guo, I beg you, on behalf of my father Fernando Huang, please leave him alone." "Fernando Huang ! Are you Scott Huang, his son?"Dominic Guo looked at him with a dark countenance. Upon hearing this name, the guests in the vicinity immediately started to chatter and discuss this new turn of events. "Fernando Huang, isn't he a tycoon of Bay City's entertainment industry? His social standing is similar to that of Chief Guo in Hanover City." "What are you talking about, it seems similar but in reality it is quite different. Fernando Huang is always in cahoots with Bay City's Uncle Wei, almost like his subordinate. Our Chief Guo, even though he is under the authority of Big Brother Qian and the Hu family, he is still considered an elder. Without doubt, he is definitely of a higher rank than Fernando Huang. They are like apples and oranges." "I disagree. In the past, Fernando Huang's position was definitely lower than Chief Guo's. But recently, there has been a drastic change in Bay City. The appearance of Lunatic Chen has caused Bay City to completely come under his dominion. Uncle Wei is now gaining control of Bay City and Fernando Huang's position continues to rise as they gain power. "What are you talking about? You seem to know so much. Whose side are you on?" "I'm just analyzing the situation. Why are you so upset about it, no one is taking sides whatsoever. Don't be childish."
Chapter 190 As people chattered and gossiped amongst themselves, Dominic Guo was pondering over the situation. He had heard much in regards to the power shifts that had occurred at Bay City, and he was aware of Fernando Huang's rising position there. However, his son had been beaten up. He felt disgruntled with the fact that Scott Huang had come all the way to his home territory in aid of that miscreant. He spoke gravely, "What message does Chief Huang have for me?" Realizing the fact that he was in foreign territory, Scott Huang's tone was deferential. He quickly explained, "Chief Guo, this matter is really just a misunderstanding. Miss Zhang is an artist under our company's management. This rift between Master Guo and her is not desirable for us as well." "She is under your management." Dominic Guo nodded. It was no surprise that Scott Huang was here then, he mused. However, this artist under the Huang family management had the audacity to raise such havoc and cause his son much suffering. Thinking about this, Dominic Guo spoke in resentment, "My son Haldon Guo has suffered great injuries. Master Huang, you can't just chalk it up to a mere misunderstanding. This would be doing the Guo family a great injustice." Scott Huang frowned slightly and replied, "Chief Guo, Master Guo's situation is unfortunate indeed. The Huang family will compensate you accordingly." *Compensation!" Dominic Guo sneered. "Does Master Huang think that our family is lacking in this aspect?" Scott Huang was trying to be conciliatory, but it didn't seem to be working. He spoke in a gloomy tone, "How would you like us to resolve this issue, Chief Guo?" Dominic Guo paused briefly. After giving it some thought, he looked at Scott Huang and said, "Master Huang, I am willing to make a concession. After all, your father is the respected Chief Huang." Scott Huang looked expectantly at Dominic Guo, hoping that they could come to a compromise that would satisfy both parties. Dominic Guo proceeded to name his terms and conditions. "Since that woman is under the management of the Huang Family, I can let her off the hook for now. I would like to request for her to wait on and serve my son till he recovers. Pausing for a moment, Dominic Guo's expression darkened. He glared at Fade Chen and said fiercely, "However, those that use violence cannot be pardoned so easily. Cut off one of his arms and legs. These are my terms and conditions, which I feel are reasonable and fair. I am already being very accommodating and respectful towards Chief Huang." As soon as he finished speaking, Scott Wei's face fell. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, he could not agree to those requirements. Scott Huang had to decline. He said, "Chief Guo, if we really look carefully into this matter, Haldon Guo started this chain of events by harassing Miss Zhang just for his amusement." "What do you mean by that?" Dominic Guo answered coldly. Scott Huang said, "Chief Guo, I think you are too demanding in regards to your terms and conditions." "Too demanding?"Dominic Guo snorted as anger flashed in his eyes. He shouted, "Scott Huang. I am being so accommodating and you refuse to oblige me, this is too much indeed." "Chief Guo, my father said.." Scott Huang replied in a low voice. Dominic Guo interrupted him, speaking coldly, "Don't bring up your father. Even if Fernando Huang were to make his way here personally, at the end of the day, this is my territory. As a young kid, you have no say in anything. Please leave now. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, we will cancel the business dealings between the Guo and the Huang families." As he spoke, Dominic Guo looked sullenly at Scott Huang, his gaze slightly threatening. He reckoned that Scott Huang would proceed to leave, as the Huang family would not want to jeopardize their family business over one of their artists. However, Scott Huang's subsequent action was something Dominic Guo could not have foreseen. Scott Huang lowered his head thoughtfully, then shook his head. Instead of leaving the scene, he walked up to Fade Chen and spoke gently, "Apologies, Brother Fade. I was not able to resolve this issue." Fade Chen also shook his head, smiling lightly. "No worries at all. If negotiations don't work out, we can just crush them directly." "Well, Brother Fade, it is easy for you to solve things in such a way." Scott Huang nodded, looking confident. He even grinned. Observing this situation, Dominic Guo frowned in bewilderment. Why was Scott Huang so deferential towards that thug, and how could that scoundrel be so arrogant and smug, does he really possess such great strength and skill? The answer was not clear to him. Dominic Guo decided not to think about it any longer. He gestured in command, "Attack them!" He gave his subordinates a discreet look so that they would spare Scott Huang from the onslaught. After all, if he suffered severe injuries, the relationship between Fernando Huang and Dominic Guo would sour, or worse, break down completely. That would be of a disadvantage to Dominic Guo. The guards in black surged towards Fade Chen, dauntless and unrelenting in attack. Fade Chen remained calm, as he stood protectively in front of Momo Soo, Yuri Zhang and Scott Huang. As the guards rushed towards him, he raised his arms slightly and fixed his gaze on them "What is he doing, has he lost his mind? Why doesn't he fight back!" "He showed such skill and strength previously. Why is he not taking action now." "Just now, there were only a few men. Look at the number of guards now. Also, did you notice that behind Chief Guo, there are two high level martial artists that have not gone on the offense yet? He doesn't have the guts to fight back right now." "He will be completely defeated this time, no doubt." "He deserves it. He was so haughty and pompous, I thought he had an ace up his sleeve. Looks like his secret advantage was just his connection to Fernando Huang's son." As the crowd buzzed and chattered, Chesca Tan and Mikael Xu looked in satisfaction at Fade Chen, who was besieged. They had a delighted expression on their faces, only seeming rather regretful as they laid eyes on Momo S. At this moment, the guards clad in black arrived directly in front of Fade Chen. They were about to use violence force on him. In an instant, Fade Chen moved his arms and with just a gentle gesture, a gust of energy emerged, forming an arch. The energy arch broadened and launched towards the guards with great impact. Dozens of the guards in black were hit by this burst of energy. They flew backwards in great speed and crashed to the ground, howling in pain. The crowd, including Dominic Guo who had a confident expression plastered on his face, had a great shock. Everyone was stunned and flabbergasted. "How, how in the world could this be possible?" "That kid has such great powers?" "No wonder he's so fearless. He's an extraordinary martial artist!" Dominic Guo's expression started to falter. At this moment, both bald men behind him snorted in contempt, saying, "Chief Guo, this is just a common trick by martial artists. It can be used to intimidate an average person, but after we are done with him, he will be completely annihilated." "Please assist in this matter!" Dominic Guo gave them the directive in a reverential tone. These two men were considered highly skilled martial artists. They had reached the late Yellow level in ability and were no weaker than Scarface, the man who was by Haldon Guo's side. They were twins, and that gave them a unique advantage. With a kindred bond, and tacit understanding between them, they were more effective fighting alongside each other, achieving more power and strength through their synergy With a cry, both of them leaped forward, each on one side as they approached Fade Chen diagonally. In a split second, the air began to swirl, slowing creating a vortex. The vortex increased in velocity and speed, and they launched themselves at Fade Chen like a tornado.
Chapter 191 Fade Chen was aware of their extraordinary skill and strength, which was of even higher level than Scarface. However, Fade Chen did not break a sweat, as he felt he had the situation under control. His arms were still raised. Fade Chen slightly shifted his gaze towards the two, adjusting the directions of his arms. He gathered up as much inner energy as he could, and prepared to launch it towards them. At this moment, a voice like thunder rang outside the mansion. Everyone was stunned and quickly turned their heads towards the entrance of the mansion. They saw a stout middle-aged man with a potbelly walking in, accompanied by another thin middle-aged man. No one else was with them. But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the mansion, the rows of guards clad in black became tense, lowering their heads. They did not dare to move, remaining still and silent. Even Dominic Guo's expression changed drastically when he saw the potbellied man. He was extremely taken aback, but quickly came forward and said, "Mr. Qian, what brings you here?" Mr. Qian, or Hubert Qian, was nicknamed Big Brother Qian. He was one of two highest ranking elders of Hanover City. Most of the guests, who were younger in age, were stunned. This was just a party for the youth and young adults of Hanover City to gather, celebrate and have a good time. They were not expecting important personages or major leaders. Big Brother Qian, who was of higher social standing than Dominic Guo, wielded absolute power and authority over Hanover City. The fact that he would deign to come to this event left the crowd feeling perplexed. At once, everyone began to speculate about this matter. "Big Brother Qian is here to support Dominic Guo, right?" "Are you kidding me? Just to fight against that small fry? Chief Guo can deal with him by himself. Does he need Big Brother Qian to hold his hand?" "Maybe he's here not to support Chief Guo but to back up the other guy! Could he be in cahoots with that thug?" "Nonsense, it's impossible. You might as well say that he is here to support us, that may be somewhat possible." As the crowd came up with their theories and conjectures behind Big Brother Qian's sudden appearance, Dominic Guo was just as puzzled. He plastered on a smile and went forward to greet him, speaking rather cautiously. "Mr. Qian, may I ask..." Big Brother Qian did not reply Dominic Guo, he walked towards Fade Chen, roaring at the two bald men, "Get back!" The two martial artists blinked, looking at Dominic Guo. Dominic Guo was also confused. He could not imagine what was the relation between Big Brother Qian and Fade Chen. But it was better not to go against Big Brother Qian's order, so he nodded at the two men who immediately retreated. As they cleared the path for him, Big Brother Qian continued to walk forward, stopping right in front of Fade Chen. He greeted Fade Chen with a respectful gesture, "I am Hubert Qian, Mr Chen." Hearing this, the crowd was completely dumbfounded. They looked on in disbelief, not being able to process what was happening. "What, what the heck is going on? Big Brother Qian took the initiative to come greet that fellow." "Big Brother Qian really came just for that guy. This..." Chessca Tan was staring at Fade Chen, absolutely baffled and stupefied. She could not believe what she was seeing. Fade Chen and Scott Huang's apparent friendship had already left her in shock. And now, Hanover City's top elder Big Brother Qian had arrived to meet Fade Chen. She was not just surprised, she was agog over this new turn of events. Mikael Xu was just as confounded. His good-looking face twitched, as he tried to comprehend the situation. He immediately tried to hide his resentment towards Fade Chen. Dominic Guo was probably the most astonished of all. It never crossed his mind that Big Brother Qian, who was of such high authority and social standing, would personally come to meet Fade Chen. They seem to be on intimate terms as well. As befuddled as the crowd was, Fade Chen remained calm. He lightly nodded at Hubert Qian, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Big Brother Qian." "No trouble at all, Jimmy Wei is my comrade. Mr Chen, you are his senior, therefore you are my senior as well." Hubert Qian replied gently Fade Chen nodded and remained silent. Before the arrival of Haldon Guo, as Chessca Tan and Mikael Xu were carrying out their plot against Momo Soo, Fade Chen had already contacted Jimmy Wei on the phone as he wanted to know more details on Hanover City Jimmy Wei, who was the elder of Bay City, had a good relationship with Big Brother Qian of Hanover City. They even viewed themselves as brothers. Jimmy Wei had immediately requested Hubert Qian to intervene as soon as he became aware of Fade Chen's situation. At first, when Hubert Qian received Jimmy Wei's call, he did not take the issue too seriously. He was prepared to make another phone call and just send some men to deal with it. However, Jimmy Wei added this statement on purpose, ". Jimmy Wei, will follow Mr. Chen to the ends of the earth." As soon as he said that, Hubert Qian was astounded, but he immediately grasped its hidden subtext. After the downfall of the Wan family, Jimmy Wei had united the whole Bay City. He was now the sole elder of Bay City, and wielded power and influence greater than Hubert Qian at Hanover City Even as Jimmy Wei's social status rose to great heights, he remained deferential towards Fade Chen, putting him on a pedestal. This was probably due to the superior skills and strength of Mr. Chen, whose reputation as Lunatic Chen preceded him and struck fear in men. Coming to this conclusion, Hubert Qian was amazed, and instantly made his way with some men to the scene. He had heard stories from his interactions with Jimmy Wei of the awesome might and power of this "Lunatic Chen." There was a dead silence. One could almost hear a pin drop. After some time has passed, people started to recover their senses. Dominic Guo looked at Hubert Qian in disbelief and said, "Mr. Qian, this.." Before Dominic Guo could complete his sentence, Hubert Qian snorted and said, "Mr Chen is my esteemed guest. What were you going to say?" Hearing this, Dominic Guo was stunned. He was completely speechless. "What's wrong? Weren't you going to attack Mr. Chen?" Hubert Qian spoke sternly. Dominic Guo began to sweat profusely, and he felt under fire and under pressure. He quickly shook his head, saying, "He is Mr Qian's guest, I would not dare to!" "You would not dare?" Hubert Qian sneered. "Does that mean, if he was not my guest, you would dare?" "No, that's not what I meant. I just." Dominic Guo was starting to drip with sweat from fearfulness. "Just what?" Hubert Qian barked. Dominic Guo didn't dare to continue speaking, but kept bowing to Hubert Qian and apologizing. Seeing this, Hubert Qian's expression softened. He helped Dominic Guo up, and spoke more gently, "I know your son has been injured by Mr Chen. However, your son deserved it too. Mr Chen was right to teach him a lesson." "Yes, agree, Mr Qian is right." Dominic Guo quickly nodded, but there was still resentment in his eyes which he could not completely hide. Hubert Qian sighed and said, "I know you are still upset, also want you to know, that I'm trying to help you by preventing you from taking action." but I "Help me?" Dominic Guo frowned slightly. He was sceptical of this, but lowered his head to conceal this.
Chapter 192 "Mr. Chen's strength is beyond your imagination." Hubert Qian spoke slowly. His words caused Dominic Guo to react in shock. However, he still felt doubtful regarding this matter. It was clear that he felt that Hubert Qian was exaggerating. After all, a young kid in his twenties might have some strengths and skills, but how high of a level could he have attained. The twin martial- artists under his service had reached the late Yellow Level, and if they combined in force they could match any peak Yellow level martial artist. Hubert Qian's expression darkened as he continued, "You don't believe me?" Dominic Guo quickly gestured his hands in denial. But his expression could not completely conceal his doubts. Hubert Qian glanced at Fade Chen, making a cordial gesture, saying, "Mr Chen, you have always been discreet in your actions and dealings, it is truly unfortunate that while you are here at Hanover City you had to encounter people who confront and offend you. We as citizens of Hanover City would like to apologize on their behalf." Upon hearing this, the crowd was even more baffled and taken aback. They looked at Fade Chen in confusion and began to whisper and mutter amongst themselves. "Is it true, what Big Brother Qian is saying? Is Fade Chen really that powerful?" "I don't think so! After all, Big Brother Qian himself reached the late Yellow-level, and we haven't even mentioned the other martial artists." "In my opinion, Big Brother Qian deliberately said all of this to pacify Fade Chen while threatening Dominic Guo at the same time." As the crowd continued with their chatter and gossip, Fade Chen couldn't help but appreciate the fact that most elders had reached their high leadership position in society due to their wisdom, and there were not many who were foolish or incompetent. Showing up at the scene, Hubert Qian had made the first move to greet him in deference, relying on his high social standing to threaten and subdue Dominic Guo. This was a direct warning to Dominic Guo. Thereafter, sensing the dissatisfaction and discontent of the crowd, he shifted his approach to a more diplomatic and gentle one, clarifying to them that the reason behind his behavior was that he did not wish further harm to come upon Dominic Guo. This helped in lowering the level of resentment Dominic Guo had towards Hubert Qian by a few notches, while shifting the focus and target onto Fade Chen. Finally, he had characterized Fade Chen as a man of discreet action and dealings, who by mischance had encountered people who wanted to confront or offend him. These roundabout words of elucidation was a veiled attempt to spur him into action, allowing Dominic Guo and the crowd to witness his great strength and skill. By doing this, Dominic Guo and the others would be completely awestruck and impressed by his might, and they would be grateful to Big Brother Qian for warning them in advance. Another reason would be that this would give Hubert Qian the opportunity to size up Fade Chen, letting him have a clearer idea of Fade Chen's abilities. After all, his deference to Fade Chen was merely based on his trust in Jimmy Wei and he had never personally witnessed Fade Chen in battle. Fade Chen could read between the lines. He gestured at the twin martial- artists and said rather abruptly, "Come at me then!" The two bald martial artists were stunned, and they looked towards Dominic Guo. Dominic Guo's expression shifted slightly, and he looked quizzically at Hubert Qian. He had every intention of continuing the attack, but he had to take into account Hubert Qian's thoughts on this matter. Noticing Fade Chen's resolute expression, Hubert Qian spoke in a clear tone, "Mr Chen is accepting your challenge, so you can go ahead if you wish. Your men can't harm him or match his strength and skill." He continued to extol Fade Chen, lauding his abilities. Since Hubert Qian had agreed to it, Dominic Guo would not let this opportunity pass him by. He nodded to the two martial artists and said, "Since Big Brother Qian has given his blessings, you can both go ahead with the challenge and let Mr. Chen enlighten you with some good moves." Even though Dominic Guo had used the word 'enlighten', his darkened expression was a hint for the martial artists to attack cruelly and without mercy. Evidently he wanted them to defeat Fade Chen and teach him a lesson. Fade Chen realized this but was unconcerned. He did not move from where he was standing and said to the two martial-artists, "Let's begin and not waste any more time." The twins narrowed their eyes and flared their nostrils, their fury rising. In an instant, both roared and rushed toward Fade Chen in unison. When the crowd saw them move forward, they knew it was no-holds-barred. They were putting in maximum effort and it did not seem like they were treating this as just some challenge Seeing this, Dominic Guo could not help grinning contemptuously, as he relished in the retribution of Fade Chen. Hubert Qian still seemed calm and collected. As he glanced at Fade Chen, he was prepared to pay attention to Fade Chen's alleged skill and strength. If Fade Chen lived up to his reputation as Lunatic Chen, there would be nothing to be worried about, as the two martial artists would not stand any chance against him. However, if Fade Chen did not possess the might and power attributed to the infamous Lunatic Chen, then he would be forced to lend him assistance due to his friendship with Jimmy Wei. However, this assistance would mean that his respect and reverence of Lunatic Chen would be diminished. Everyone has their considerations and reservations. At this instant, Fade Chen was bearing the ferocious attack of the twin martial-artists head on. He moved his body gently, shrugging his shoulders. As he raised his right hand, he bent his fingers and flicked them lightly at the two incoming men. Instantly, one could hear the sound of two invisible bullets propelling through the air, hurtling towards the two men with great force and high speed. The twins were caught off guard, as they wondered what this sound was. "Poof, poof." The sound of the invisible landing on the two targets rang out clearly. Both men felt an excruciating pain in their bodies, and their expressions changed as they clutched their bellies and fell to the ground. They started spluttering blood, and their faces grew pale in agony. Seeing this, the crowd was completely rattled. Dominic Guo in particular, who had an expression of satisfaction from the vengeance he was about to exact, immediately trembled violently. The expression on his face turned to that of incredulity and shock. Even Hubert Qian shrank, his eyes narrowing. Glancing at Fade Chen, who was looking impassive, he felt his stomach churning in fear. This Mr Chen was truly the infamous Lunatic Chen of Bay City who had attacked and slain Old Wan of the Wan family. People had said that he was a Black level martial artist, a young man in his twenties who had already reached this level. Was this the extent of his capabilities? It was not surprising that Jimmy Wei would say that he would follow Mr Chen to the ends of the earth. As he felt a whirlwind of emotions, Hubert Qian came forward to Fade Chen, looking respectful and ingratiating, He said, "Mr Chen, you really live up to your reputation. Your power and might is truly an eye-opening revelation for all the people of Hanover City!" After that, Hubert Qian admonished Dominic Guo and the two martial-artists, "Chief Guo, Mr Chen is being merciful. He has not shown the two men the full force of his wrath, shouldn't you be thankful to him?" Dominic Guo shuddered violently and he looked absolutely perplexed and dumbfounded. He bit his lip and walked towards Fade Chen. In front of Fade Chen, he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Thank you for showing us mercy, Mr Chen. I am to be blamed for the previous issues. Please forgive me." Fade Chen glanced at him without emotion and said, "Alright, from now on, the Guo family will remove themselves from the Hanover City entertainment industry." Upon hearing this, Dominic Guo's face fell. He looked as though he wanted to speak up. However, Fade Chen's actions had left him in shock and in abject terror. For him, Fade Chen's request was crossing the line, as the Guo family enterprises were deeply anchored in Hanover City's entertainment industry. If they removed themselves, they would lose their wealth and revenue. "Mr Chen, this." Dominic Guo tried to speak up. Before he could say a word, Hubert Qian yelled fiercely at him from the side, "Mr Chen is already being so accommodating, what else do you have to say!" As Dominic Guo looked at Hubert Qian, who was furious and savage in expression, he was completely dumbfounded. He hesitated but had to nod in compliance, saying reluctantly, "), Dominic Guo, will honor Mr Chen's wishes." Fade Chen nodded, gestured his hand and said, "Good." Then he turned around and left with Scott Huang, Momo Su and the others
Chapter 193 Hubert Qian quickly went with him, making arrangements for Fade Chen and his companions. At they left the mansion, it could be considered that the curtains have fallen on the banquet. It was an event full of unexpected twists and turns, and the final act was unpredictable indeed. Hanover City's distinguished Guo family, was totally browbeaten by this foreign young man till they had to surrender to his demands, handing over their founding enterprises and removing themselves from the entertainment industry of the city. And speaking of Fade Chen, who was just some mysterious stranger, how did he acquire such power and influence? Not only did he attain skills and strength of a high level in the martial arts, he managed to get the support of Big Brother Qian. These were all facts that the guests could not wrap their head around. They proceeded to leave in confusion and shock. Mikael Xu's face was green, and his expression was full of anxiety and apprehension. He had spoken to Fade Chen in a rude manner, provoking him and his companions. If they wanted to seek vengeance, he would be in absolute trouble. After all, the Guo family was now ruined, and the Xu family would not be able to survive if faced with such a threat. As for Chesca Tan, she walked out of the mansion in a daze. Her face reflected a whirlwind of ever-changing emotions. She was puzzled and astonished that Fade Chen, who seemed the most inconspicuous amongst Momo Soo and the others, possessed such great power. She was anxious and fearful, worried that Fade Chen would retaliate against her due to the previous events. Finally, she felt a sense of regret. If she had not been so quick to fawn over Mikael Xu and Haldon Guo, and instead tried to build a good relationship with Fade Chen and his companions, she might be in a great position right now. Each guest had their own thoughts and feelings, but Dominic Guo felt absolute despair at the fact that he was dealt the worst hand in this situation. He sat in the car, livid, unwilling to leave. He didn't want to give up the family business so easily, which he had poured much effort and energy into. However, he was concerned that Hubert Qian would pressure him to do so, not to mention using sinister plots to make sure he did follow through "Shall we really obey that fellow and hand over our Guo family enterprises? Or should we gather the collective strength of our family and friends and fight against him? Hanover City is our territory, and we have influence and ownership over this land. No matter how powerful that guy is, we have the home ground advantage. It's not like our Guo family doesn't stand a chance." Dominic Guo felt himself vacillating between both options. He gradually began to lean towards the latter solution. Gritting his teeth,Dominic Guo resolved to prepare for battle. After all, he would not be willing to give up his enterprises, which he had labored on with great effort throughout the years, in tribute to others. As he reached this decision, Dominic Guo's eyes lit up. He nodded to the driver and said, "Let's go!" But just as the car engine started, Hubert Qian appeared in front them. Dominic Guo quickly stopped the car, got off and walked towards Hubert Qian in deference,saying, "Mr Qian!" have to warn you, don't try to come up with any tricks. You'd better follow Mr Chen's instructions." Hubert Qian looked at Dominic Guo, who was forcing himself to smile, and his face sank. He said, "Dominic Guo, "Oh, will follow Big Brother Qian's advice, I won't dare to disobey." Dominic Guo spoke, however, he was boiling with rage inside. Hubert Qian glanced at Dominic Guo and snorted. He said, "I know what your feelings are. You are disgruntled, resentful and unwilling to hand over the Guo family enterprises." Dominic Guo was silent, but he bit on his lip till blood appeared When Hubert Qian saw this, he grunted loudly and said, "I know that you would like to try your luck in going against him. But let me tell you, if you give in to his request, you and your family can still live a comfortable and steady life. However, if you try any shenanigans and end up offending Mr Chen, you and your family will be destroyed!" He articulated the last word 'destroyed with such a heavy tone, that Dominic Guo shuddered violently. He stared at Hubert Qian with a look of confusion and disbelief. After considering this matter for some time, he finally spoke, "Big Brother Qian, are you exaggerating Fade Chen's skill and strength?" "Exaggerating?" Hubert Qian sneered and shook his head. "You haven't seen the real extent of Mr Chen's might and power." Dominic Guo frowned and looked even more puzzled. He said, "Fade Chen may be a warrior of great ability and power, but in the end he is just another martial-artist. As long as I'm willing to invest my wealth, I can hire someone whose strength and capabilities exceed that of his. Also, in modern society, there are alternate means to an end other than warfare." As Dominic Guo spoke, his words were laced with a murderous intent Upon hearing this, Hubert Qian froze and said, "It is fortunate that you told me all this. Otherwise, you would be already dead." "Big Brother Qian, you..." Dominic Guo could not grasp why Hubert Qian, who was one of two elders of Hanover City. was so intimidated by Fade Chen. Hubert Qian grimaced as he continued, "Have you ever thought, if Mr Chen possessed only those resources and strengths as you mentioned, would I be so deferential? Do you think you are stronger and wiser than me?" Dominic Guo quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not just that." Hubert Qian sighed and said, "We have known each other for many years, so I will tell you the truth. After that, I will leave it to you to decide." "The truth!" Dominic Guo was filled with curiosity. Hubert Qian lowered his voice and said to Dominic Guo, That Mr Chen is the infamous Lunatic Chen." "Lunatic Chen? This... how could it be that." Dominic GuO was dumbfounded at first, then he came to his senses. His expression was that of shock, and then he seemed doubtful and incredulous. "How.. how could this be possible? Lunatic Chen was the one who annihilated the Wan family. How could he be so young?" Hubert Qian continued in a low voice, "Have you heard of Bay City's Jimmy Wei?" Dominic Guo nodded. "He called me personally to tell me that he will follow Mr Chen to the ends of the earth. You know what this means." After saying this, Hubert Qian turned and left. Dominic Guo was completely astounded. His body felt stiff, and the expression on his face seemed frozen. Some time passed, and he came to his senses and sighed. "I was not expecting to face someone of such identity. It's no wonder." Ultimately, Dominic Guo's face fell in disappointment. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number, saying, "Prepare to emigrate!" The next day, news of the strange events at this banquet started spreading amongst the elite, the rich and the famous of Hanover City The details of the rumors became convoluted and the information was slightly modified as it spread, but two main points of the news remained unaltered. The first was that Hanover City's Guo family, one of the most prominent family of the town, had completely relinquished the family enterprises in the entertainment industry and emigrated away from Hanover city. The second was that Hubert Qian had welcomed a special guest, whom he treated with utmost respect and deference. With the complete retreat of the Guo family, Fatty Huang naturally would not let go of this golden opportunity. He immediately contacted his father at Bay City, and proceeded in full force with the expansion of the Huang family's entertainment industry enterprises in Hanover City. Over the next few days, a dutiful Hubert Qian brought Fade Chen and his companions for a fun-filled tour around Hanover City. Momo Su and Yuri Zhang could finally relax and have a good time. After the tour, both girls families contacted them by phone, so they didn't remain much longer in Hanover City. They returned together to Bay City and then went their separate ways. Fade Chen and Scott Huang, on the other hand, had to deal with some business matters, so they continued their stay at Hanover City.
Chapter 194 After a brief restructuring, Fatty Huang took over the Guo Family enterprises at Hanover City. In less than a week, they were reopened for business. Fatty Huang wanted a quick boom for his enterprises, so he made an effort to invite Hanover City's rich and powerful through Big Brother Qian, for a grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. After the lively ribbon-cutting ceremony, a banquet was prepared for them to feast, drink and be merry. This banquet was attended by more than seventy percent of Hanover City's elite. Most of the who's who of the town were present, to pay their respects to Fatty Huang, and of course many were there in deference to Hubert Qian. After all, Hubert Qian was one of the two elders of Hanover City. At the outset of the banquet, Fatty Huang made a simple toast. Thereafter, the various guests prepared to make toasts of felicitations in return. They held up their wine glasses and walked over with smiles plastered on their faces. After toasting to Fatty Huang by downing their wine and clinking their glasses, they proceeded to his side, where Hubert Qian and Fade Chen were sitting The invited guests walked respectfully towards the both of them, taking the initiative to introduce themselves and also giving them toasts in veneration, expressing their deepest congratulations to them. By this time, everyone was aware of the relationship between Big Brother Qian and his guest of honor, Mr Chen. Therefore, they did not hesitate to give their compliments in the hopes of gaining favor with them. As the guests were toasting and making their rounds, there was a small interruption. As Chesca Tan and her father came by to make their toast, Chesca Tan suddenly knelt down and groveled before Fade Chen, apologizing fervently and begging him for forgiveness. In actual fact, Fade Chen had already forgotten about Chessca Tan. However, her actions reinforced Fade Chen's feeling of revulsion towards her. He felt that she was way too pretentious. Therefore, Fade Chen did not accept the drink when she toasted him, but directly made a gesture with his hand for her to leave. Seeing this, Chesca Tan and her father instantly turned pale, and left the banquet crestfallen. Although this was only a minor slight on his part, Mr Chen's attitude was seen as an indicator of Hubert Qian's inclinations. Many people of power and status would be hesitant to collaborate with the Tan family in future. After this episode, the toasting of the guests continued, round after round. Although Fatty Huang was considered good at holding his liquor, he became rather drunk and his face was flushed bright red. In the end, he required assistance to be carried home for a rest. Hubert Qian and Fade Chen were still sober as a judge, able to hold their liquor without problem. In particular, Fade Chen, after downing many glasses of wine, still did not turn red, nor did his heartbeat quicken at all. He remained completely unaffected. Observing this, Hubert Qian's sense of shock was amplified, and his admiration for the abilities of Lunatic Chen increased. Finally, after the toasting ceremony was over, Hubert Qian stood up and raised his glass. He said in a clear voice, "I would like to thank all of you for coming today. You are all here to witness something extraordinary." Everyone felt a sense of curiosity and could not understand Hubert Qian's words. Then, they saw Hubert Qian with his raised glass, turning around to face Fade Chen. He proceeded to bow in a deferential manner. Finally, he clasped the glass with both hands and said, ", Hubert Qian, would like to propose a toast in honor of Mr Chen." With those words, Hubert Qian downed the wine in his raised cup in one big chug. Witnessing this, the crowd was stunned and looked on with an expression of incredulity. Although they had heard that Hubert Qian treated Fade Chen like a venerable guest of honor and had the utmost respect for him, they were not expecting him to be so respectful towards Fade Chen. They did not anticipate such a personal toast to Fade Chen from him in the presence of the rich and powerful of Hanover City. This gesture seemed comparable to an explicit announcement to the crowd of the fact that Hubert Qian saw himself as subordinate to Fade Chen. This was Hubert Qian putting Fade Chen on a pedestal. Instantly, speculation about the truth behind Fade Chen's identity, which had died down for a while, resurfaced. The crowd started to buzz and chatter amongst themselves. Some of the guests were shrewd, and quickly came to their senses on how they should react to this. They imitated the gesture, raising their wine glasses and bowing respectfully at Fade Chen. The rest of the guests began to take the cue and follow in gesture. Another round of toasting began in that time, and Fade Chen did not restrain himself but drank up all the wine. He still seemed well, calm and unaffected, without any change to his demeanor. Just as the round of toasting was coming to an end, a middle-aged man, who was around his forties or fifties, suddenly emerged from the crowd. The man was dressed in a smart looking suit and wearing shiny leather shoes. In his tow were two others, and he stepped forward with a smile on his face. Noticing this man, the guests had a surprised expression. They fixed their gazes on him. "Why is he here?" "The Hu family actually sent someone as representative to the banquet. What do you think this means?" "It's alright to send a representative, but why arrive so late? Won't the banquet be ending soon ?" "This is obviously and insult towards Big Brother Qian!" Amidst the crowd's discussion, Hubert Qian's face fell. Seeing Fade Chen beside him with a puzzled expression, Hubert Qian explained, "This man is the butler of Shawn Hu. The Qian family and the Hu family have long been at odds with each other, and in recent years, there has hardly been any contact between us. But now, he has sent a representative to the banquet." Fade Chen nodded, understanding the situation. The history between the Qian Family and the Hu Family were similar to that of the Long Enterprise and the Wan Family in Bay City. There were all sorts of conflicts and grievances between both elders and the families. After all, they were both based in the same territory, so it was inevitable. The fact was that for a very long time, there had been no contact between the two families. However, now out of the blue, a representative had arrived. One had to seriously consider the motives behind this action. The butler walked up to Hubert Qian, made a cordial gesture of greeting and said, "Mr. Qian, it's a pleasure to meet you. When Old Master was informed that a friend of Mr. Qian is opening a business and having a ribbon-cutting ceremony. he sent me to congratulate Mr. Qian. Unfortunately there was a traffic jam on the road, which caused me to be late. Many apologies, Mr. Qian." This excuse was so preposterous that one could not believe it. The Hu Family had a high status in the city, therefore it was impossible for a traffic jam to be of any hindrance to them. It was obvious that they had arrived late on purpose. Hubert Qian was of course aware of this fact. His face was solemn and he said, "Since you were delayed, it would have not been necessary for you to be in attendance. I am in no need of extra gifts." At these words, the butler's expression did not change. He gestured his hand and let the two men behind him bring forward two gifts, one which was larger and the other smaller in size. The butler still had a smile on his face as he said to Hubert Qian, "Old Master has given the command that I must ensure that the gifts are delivered and received." "Just leave the gifts and go!" Hubert Qian knew that they had deliberately arrived late in order to insult him. In such cases as these, Hubert Qian would not be so gracious, therefore he asked them to leave immediately. However, the butler did not move. Instead, he looked at Fade Chen, who was beside Hubert Qian, and continued with a smile, "This time, Old Master heard that Mr. Qian is graced by the presence of an honored guest, Mr. Chen, therefore he prepared two gifts." He pointed to the two gifts behind him, one which was bigger and the other smaller. He proceeded to speak with a simper, "Originally, according to the master's instructions, the bigger gift belongs to Mr. Qian, and the smaller gift to Mr. Chen." this moment, Chen, please assist me in this matter." The butler made a polite gesture in obeisance, continuing to smile ingratiatingly at Hubert Qian and Fade Chen. "But I just observed Mr. Qian giving a toast to Mr. Chen. At am not sure who should I present the bigger gift to, and for who the smaller gift should be given to. Mr. Qian and Mr. I can't tell who is of higher or lower status. I The crowd had become completely silent, and everyone was gazing at Hubert Qian and Fade Chen.
Chapter 195 The butler's words were obviously provoking, as if he wanted to see what kind of relationship Hubert Qian and Fade Chen had. After all, everyone was confused that a big shot like Hubert Qian suddenly submitted to a young man. Facing such a problem at the moment, Hubert Qian's face darkened. He knew of Fade Chen's identity, so he naturally did not try to challenge him. However, it was unacceptable for the Hu family to deliberately set a trap to make him lose face in front of everyone. For a moment, Hubert Qian's face was gloomy and he stared at the butler coldly. However, the butler's expression did not change. Instead, he showed a smile and said again, "What's wrong? Since Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen have such a good relationship, we can't tell who's superior and who's inferior. This is the Hu family's miscalculation. Why not I leave first to prepare two identical gifts for the two gentlemen and return with them!" In the face of such sarcastic and provocative words, Hubert Qian's face was very gloomy. He waved his hand in annoyance, and was immediately surrounded by his bodyguards. But the butler's expression remained stoic. He waved his hand and gestured for two servants behind him to present the gifts. Then he looked at Hubert Qian and said, "Mr. Qian, our Old Master is thoughtful enough to send gifts. However, what does Mr. Qian mean by this?" Hubert Qian's expression changed when he saw the two men behind the butler. He was a little surprised and said, "Dragon Zhang, Tiger Zhao, I would never expect Shawn Hu to send these two aces over." Shawn Hu had four skilled underdogs who were also his confidants that were equally powerful. Therefore, he named the group "Legendary Fighters of Hu Family to assert dominance, and the title was quite renowned in Hanover City. When the butler saw Hubert Qian's face change, he smiled faintly and said, "It was Old Master who ordered Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao to come all for the sake of Mr. Qian. Yet now, I am perplexed whether to assume if it was for the sake of Mr. Qian or Mr. Chen. Could any one of you enlighten me?" This guy started to sow discord between them again. Hubert Qian's face darkened. He wanted to fight, but he didn't want to fight with the two powerhouses, Dragon Zhang and Tiger Zhao in his own territory. In that case, even if he could win, he would suffer heavy losses. Thinking of this, Hubert Qian's face steeled in resolution and he sighed. He secretly made the decision that he would sacrifice his pride this time and present the larger gift to Fade Chen It was not that he was unintimidated by Fade Chen, nor was it that he couldn't bear to put down his pride. It was just that Hubert Qian was a big shot. When he took the initiative to make a toast just now and the news was spread, it would show that he was respectful and generous in person. Yet now, he was forced to let go of his pride and status by force. Even if others knew of Fade Chen's power and strength, the fact that he was a coward would still last in their minds. As a result, his reputation in Hanover City would definitely be tarnished. But now, the situation was urgent and he had to make a choice. After all, Hubert Qian didn't want to start a war with the Hu Family because of minuscule matters such as these, and he didn't dare to offend Fade Chen, an unfathomable master. Therefore, under everyone's burning gaze, Hubert Qian sighed softly, looked at Fade Chen, and said, "Mr. Chen is an honored guest, and this is a valuable gift. Of course.." However, before Hubert Qian could finish his words, Fade Chen stood up and gently pressed Hubert Qian's hand, whispering, "Mr. Qian, you're too polite. Please, allow me!" Hearing this, Hubert Qian couldn't help but relax his thoughts. Now, he not only feared Fade Chen, but he also respected him from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was very rare for a skilled professional like Fade Chen to stoop so low just for his dignity. Fade Chen looked at the butler and inquired, "Your Old Master said that he would give me a gift?" The butler was stunned momentarily before nodding, "Yes, he has passed me two gifts. Which one would you like, Mr. Chen?" Fade Chen glanced at the butler, clasped his hands together behind his back, and started questioning, "The Hu family sent me a gift but failed to assign it properly. What kind of rule is this? Are you looking down on me? If you are not sincere enough, you can take it back. I Fade Chen, don't lack one or two gifts." The butler's expression fell and darkened slightly, noticeably irritated and offended. He said in a cold voice, "Mr. Chen, this is a gift personally sent from the Old Master." "So what?" Fade Chen shot back coldly, "Is your Old Master going to force me to accept the gift?" Just like this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. At this moment, everyone was curious and nervous. After all, Fade Chen had a dispute with the Hu Family. No one could guess how it would end. The butler obviously did not expect something like this. After a pause, he looked at Fade Chen, then looked back at Hubert Qian and announced, "Old Master heard that Mr. Chen has been in the limelight recently and immediately thought that there is young talent in Hanover City. It is unexpected that this person is just of a mediocre standard." With this insult, he had officially started to direct personal attacks on them, the irritation in his eyebrows instantly clearing up and turning into glee. Upon hearing this, Hubert Qian immediately bellowed, "Mind your words. Mr Chen is my honored guest!" The butler smiled and said, "The Old Master has a message for Mr Qian." "What message?" Hubert Qian frowned. The butler continued, "The Old Master would like to know if Mr. Qian is already old and senile." Hubert Qian retorted, "What does Shawn Hu mean by this?" The butler said, "The Old Master said that if Mr. Qian is already weary in age, he should give up his territory and let the Old Master take charge of it." "How dare he?" Hubert Qian was angry and shouted. However, the butler did not budge at all. He said, "So Mr. Qian is saying that he's not old yet! In that case, the Old Master has another question. If Mr. Qian is not old, how did he become so weak and fearful of a young kid?" "You.." Hubert Qian was furious, his eyes bloodshot. He glared at the butter and shouted, "You are courting death..." The butler looked indifferent and said, "I'm just an old man, so Mr. Qian can feel free to do anything to me. However, it would be best if Mr. Qian, you could consider the consequences if you came after me." "Are you threatening me?" Hubert Qian said angrily. " dare not. I'm just recounting Old Master's words." The butler had no fear on his face. And at the moment, Hubert Qian was so furious that he was about to erupt in utter madness just like a volcano. As someone who was of equal standing and fame as Shawn Hu, to be ridiculed by a mere servant was simply unheard of. Gritting his teeth, Hubert Qian was ready to charge at him. However, Fade Chen stopped him in the nick of time and assured, "Mr. Qian, the matter is caused by me. Let me handle it." With this, Fade Chen walked down and looked at the smiling butler. He said, "Go back and tell your Old Master that if he is dissatisfied with me, he can come directly at me. Don't beat around the bush. Otherwise, in my opinion, he is just a coward without guts. "You.." The butler was angry when he heard this. He sneered and looked at Fade Chen with disdain. "Not everyone is qualified to talk to Old Master." "Really?" Fade Chen's eyes were cold. He slapped the butler in the face and said coldly, "Am I qualified now?"
