Chapter 901 Everyone was worried as they waited for Fade to dish out Haider's punishment. Fade declared. "For your punishment, I'll assign you like a barefoot doctor in Canyon Ville. It's a very poor and rural place, so the doctors and patients will need your help." "You will have to serve in Canyon Ville for three years. I'll be sending people to check on you to assess your work from time to time" "If I'm satisfied with your progress after three years, I'll let it slide. If I'm not, you know the consequences." Fade concluded sternly. Haider was at a loss for words. He gazed at Fade as he fumbled for words. His voice was failing him. Mr. Tu, Caesar and the others were equally astounded. They came back to their senses and advised Haider swiftly, "Haider, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and thank Mr. Chen." Mr. Tu and Caesar could tell that Fade's punishment was actually to train Haider. Haider was very talented and he had the skills to treat patients. The only problem was that he was too impulsive. He refused to work hard and was too emotional. As a doctor, it was important to be composed. Fade's punishment would serve as a stepping stone for Haider to sharpen his skills and his mind. Haider was a diamond in the rough. Therefore, these experiences would polish him and help him grow. Moreover, Haider was still in his early twenties. Even after spending three years in Canyon Ville, he would still be very young when he returned to Dragonville. Moreover, he would be more matured with three years of experience under his belt. of course, the only prerequisite was that Haider needed to meet Fade's conditions. To put it simply, Haider's punishment would serve as a trial as well. Haider snapped back to his senses and understood Fade's intentions. He was in awe and thanked Fade repeatedly, "Mr. Chen, thank you, thank you. I'll definitely do my best to help them. I won't let you down." Fade lowered his voice. "That's not enough. You must not let the patients down, do you understand?" "Got it! Thank you, Mr. Chen" Haider affirmed. Fade waved his hand dismissively "Alright, you have three days to prepare. Go and bid farewell to your friends and family. "Yes! Thank you!" Haider nodded and thanked Fade again before leaving. Mr. Tu let out a sigh as he watched Haider leave. He went up to Fade and bowed. Mr. Tu said gratefully, "Fade, thank you! Fade said, "Mr. Tu, there's no need for that. I have high expectations of Haider too. I know how you feel Mr. Tu stared into the distance and he spoke wistfully, "I hope he won't let you down, Fade." "I hope so too!" Fade nodded. After punishing Haider, Fade left Tu Medical Center. He then drove to Winnie's house. It was no big deal to Fade, who was a master in martial arts, when Blood Blade Killer Organization threatened him. Winnie, on the other hand, was just an ordinary woman. Therefore, the incident must have taken a huge toll on her physically and mentally. Thus, Fade had to check on her. Fade arrived at Winnie's place and rang the doorbell. Winnie opened the door and she was surprised to see Fade. "What brings you here? Fade grinned and teased, "What? Am I not welcome here?" Winnie shook her head quickly and smiled sheepishly, "Of course not. You're my boss! You're always welcomed. Please come in." Fade walked into the house and uttered, "Winnie, I'm relieved that you're in good spirits" Winnie knew what Fade was referring to. Her eyebrows trembled but something warm welled in her heart. "Thank you for visiting me. I'm perfectly fine." "Winnie, I think I should have a look" "A checkup? It would be troublesome, right?" Winnie pouted and added, "I don't want to get an injection. I hate pain." Fade chuckled, "Winnie, have you forgotten? I'm a Chinese Medicine practitioner. I just need to feel your pulse, so there won't be any injections. It won't hurt." "Well, that's great" Winnie nodded smilingly. "Well, let's begin, Winnie. Where should we do it? In the bedroom or in the living room?" Fade glanced at the living room and immediately burst into laughter. The table and sofa were piled with snacks and wrappers. Clothes, books and CDs were all over the place. It was a messy sight to behold. Fade recalled the mess at Winnie's place when he visited for the first time. He chuckled, "It's been a long time but you're still the same!" Winnie blushed. She glared at Fade and retorted, "It's all your fault." "My fault? Winnie, I'm innocent. You love to eat snacks but you're too lazy to clean up. How could you blame me for that?" Fade felt like he was wrongly accused. Winnie explained seriously, "It's all because of the medicine you gave me. No matter how much I eat, I won't get fat, so I stopped holding back. I've to control myself so that I won't gain weight. Yet now, I can eat whatever I like, whenever I like." Fade stared at Winnie helplessly. He waved his hand and replied with a grin, "Okay, okay. It's my fault. Winnie, do you need me to prescribe you another medicine to make up for the side effect of that medicine? Winnie shook her head hurriedly. "of course not. It's such good medicine and only a fool would want that. can eat and drink to my heart's content and it's great." "Alright, okay, then I don't have to prepare any medicine, Fade laughed. Winnie decided to tidy up the living room. However, she realized that the sheer amount of work was overwhelming. Therefore, she instantly gave up and pointed to the bedroom. She declared, "Let's go to the bedroom." Fade chuckled, "It's my first time visiting your bedroom! I wonder if it'll be the same as the living room!" Winnie rolled her eyes at Fade and led him into her bedroom Contrary to the living room, Winnie's bedroom was neat. Winnie sat on her bed and asked, "You can start now. How are you going to do it?
Chapter 902 Fade reached out his arm to hold Winnie's right hand. He was standing while Winnie was sitting. His eyes drifted to Winnie's collar. She was wearing an oversized shirt. Immediately, he saw everything under her shirt. He was dumbfounded and stared blankly. Winnie was surprised when Fade stopped moving. She asked curiously, "Fade, why did you... She raised her head and met his burning eyes. Winnie was taken apart and looked down quickly. She suddenly realized what Fade was looking at. She Immediately held her arms over her breast and leaned away from him. Fade blushed. He cleared his throat and averted his gaze hurriedly. Winnie's cheeks were pink too. She was at a loss as she continued to cover her breast with her hands. It was very awkward. After a short pause, he lowered himself and coughed. He said, "Winnie, let's take your pulse." Winnie finally stretched out her right arm to Fade. Fade held Winnie's wrist. Her skin was very smooth and he could not help but marvel at it. He recalled what he saw earlier and something was stirring within him. "Ahem!" Fade cleared his mind and began to take Winnie's pulse. After a few minutes, Fade released Winnie's wrist. Winnie immediately asked, "How is it?" Fade chuckled, "You're okay. I'm glad that you're healthy Winnie grinned and replied, "I told you, I'm fine. You shouldn't have wasted your time coming here. Fade shook his head, "It's alright. I'm the one who got you into this mess. This is the least I could do." A pang of guilt hit Fade. Winnie held Fade's hand and shook her head. "Fade, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Besides, it's those assassins' fault. You always help me and I'm grateful for that. Fade put on a smile. "Winnie, I swear that I'll protect you in the future. I promise that you'll not have to go through that again." "Okay, I believe you. Winnie nodded smilingly and stood up. She was ready to leave the bedroom. She invited, "I'm fine now. It's rare for you to drop by, so why don't you stay here for dinner?" Fade grabbed Winnie and warned, "Wait a minute, Winnie." "Huh? What's the matter? Do you have something to attend to? Are you leaving?" A trace of disappointment flashed across Winnie's eyes but she forced a smile and continued, "If you have something to take care of, then I won't stop you." Fade explained quickly, "Winnie, it's not like that. It's ok, I'll stay here if you want me to." "Then why did you." Winnie asked in confusion. Fade reached out to point at Winnie's neck. "Winnie, you have a wound here. I'll treat it now." Winnie brought her fingers to her neck and recalled the men that pressed the draggers against her neck. The dagger cut her skin and left a wound on her neck The wound was healed but Winnie was a celebrity. An obvious scar like that would affect her career "Don't worry, Winnie. I'll apply some medicine to get rid of the scar. Everything will be okay." Fade smiled and took out a small bottle of ointment. Winnie nodded. "That's great. I'll put them on right now." Immediately, she reached out to take the bottle from Fade. Fade shook his head and chuckled, "Winnie, it's difficult for you to apply it. Let me do it for you." "Okay! Winnie sat back on the bed with a smirk. She raised her head to reveal her fair and smooth neck Fade moved closer took some cream with fingertip. spread it on her neck and worked it in gently. The cream was a little minty. As his finger glided across Winnie's smooth skin, Fade's mind wandered again. As his mind drifted, so did his eyes. He found himself staring at her breast again through her collar. He was very close to her, so he could see even the minute details. Fade began breathing heavily. His warm breaths trickled Winnie's neck. Her skin flushed as she squirmed from the feeling. Consequently, her breathing was uneven as emotions welled up in her. The warmth coursed through her limbs and she felt like she was going to melt. Fade's eyes met Winnie's. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were misty. She looked like she was going to faint in his arms. "Whoosh!" Fade could feel a surge of flames in his heart as his breathing grew out of control "Winnie!" Fade called as he stared at Winnie's alluring face. Winnie was aroused. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Fade gently. She whispered softly, "Fade, I.. Fade could no longer control himself. He grabbed Winnie by the shoulders and pinned her on the bed. He leaned over and edged closer to her. At the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a flash of light. Fade was immediately on guard and turned to stare at the direction of the light. It was coming from the bedroom's window. Winnie's apartment was located on a high rise building, therefore there should be nothing outside the window. He cast his gaze to the adjacent building. He narrowed his eyes and caught a glimpse of a shadow on one of the windows of that building. Winnie was confused and asked, "What's wrong? Fade pointed to the opposite building and explained, "Someone is taking pictures of us. "What?" Winnie panicked and she pulled the blanket over herself. Fade drew the curtains and concluded, "Winnle, I'm going after that person." He rushed out quickly
Chapter 903 Fade did not wait for the elevator. Instead, he bolted down the stairs at top speed. He rushed to the entrance of the adjacent building just in time to see a helmeted man stopping nearby on a motorcycle. A hooded man rushed out of the building nervously. He ran towards the helmeted man on the motorcycle with some camera equipment with him. "Oh, you have accomplices? You two must be professionals!" Fade snorted and shouted at them, "Stop!" The duo was started and revved up the motorcycle swiftly. Evidently, the motorcycle was modified and it sped away at an alarming speed, putting over ten meters between them and Fade. The hooded man, Jackie, was relieved after managing to get on the motorcycle. He turned over his shoulder and planned to point a middle finger at Fade To his dismay, Fade was hot on their tails. Fade was running but he was way faster than the motorcycle. In a few seconds, he managed to catch up to the motorcycle. Jackie was shocked. He patted the rider on the back and urged, "Hurry up, Nick, he's catching up." Nick floored the gas pedal and the motorcycle revved into a frenzy. However, they did not put any distance between Fade. Eventually, Fade was just an arm away from the motorcycle. He grabbed the tail of the motorcycle and heaved his arm backward forcefully, Jackie was astounded as he stared at Fade. Jackie yelled, "Grabbing a motorcycle with your bare hands? Are you crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" However, Jackie was bewildered when something unimaginable happened. The motorcycle stopped in its tracks. The tires screeched against the road and left behind a trail of soot. However, it could not break free from Fade's grasp. "This. You.." Jackie was dumbfounded. singlehandedly? Is he even human?" Jackie was thunderstruck as Fade gave a sharp tug. Fade flung the duo on the ground with the motorcycle They were sent flying and crashed into a nearby tree. They cried out in pain. The bike was in a sorry state. It was shattered to pieces as it collided with a stone bench The duo winced in pain and got up from the bushes. They tried to run away but Fade thwarted them. He kicked them swiftly and they landed on the ground again. He interrogated them coldly, "Were you the one who took photos earlier?" The duo exchanged meaningful glances and denied it "What photos? I have no idea what you're talking about "You assaulted us. We'll call the cops." Fade glared at them and scoffed, "Playing dumb?" Immediately, Fade grabbed Jackie's camera and checked the content. He found some photos of Winnie. The most recent few were photos of Fade and Winnie. It was taken when he was applying ointment on Winnie in her bedroom The photos were very suggestive. The angle of the photos made the two of them look very intimate. If the photos were made public, it would deal a great impact on Winnie's career. Fade shouted angrily, "How do you explain these photos?" Jackie's eyes darted around as he came up with an excuse. "This. I accidentally took them when I was taking scenic photos." "Accidentally?" Fade sneered and showed Jackie some of the photos on the camera. Fade questioned, "Then how do you explain these photos? The photos were taken throughout the week. They are all photos of Winnie. You're telling me that it's an accident?" Jackie was at a loss of words. He did not explain himself and exclaimed, "This is my camera and it has nothing to do with you. You have no right to touch my things!" "It's none of my business what you want to do. Yet, you violated Winnie's privacy by taking these photos. That's against the law." Fade smashed the camera against the ground. The camera was shattered and bits and pieces flew everywhere. Fade picked up the memory card and snapped it into tiny pieces. Jacket was upset as he stared at the remains of his camera. The whole set cost him well over sixty thousand yuan. There were nothing left of it but fragments. Jackie glared at Fade. "You broke my camera. You have to compensate me. My camera is very expensive and you.. "Compensate?" Fade sneered and slapped Jackie in the face. He added, "I'IL compensate you like this. What do you think?" "You! How dare you hit me? I'll call the cops to arrest you, Jackie shouted loudly. Concurrently, Winnie hurried over with a long-sleeved coat. She could not help but ask, "Fade, what's going on?" Fade pointed to the paparazzi and explained, "They are the ones who took photos of you. They seemed to be doing it for the past week "What?" Winnie was shocked. She glared at them and snapped, "How could you do this?" Jackie glanced at Winnie and scoffed, Celebrities should always watch what they're doing. Why am I not allowed to expose your dirty secrets to the public? I'm doing the public a favor Winnie was livid. She glared at Jackie and retorted, "How... How can you say that? You took photos of me without my consent and you're telling me that?" "I'm just telling the truth. Celebrities like you always pretend to be kind and polite in public but in truth, you're all rotten to the core. We're just trying to bring you to justice. We're going to expose you, Jackie spoke matter-of-factly Winnie was red with anger. She wanted to reason with the paparazzi but they would not listen. Fade was very decisive. He stepped forward and slapped Jackie in the face again. Jackie's face was red and swollen. Fade exclaimed coldly, "You're just some paparazzi that violate other people's privacy. Do you think I'm stupid? You're going to use it to blackmail us for money. Yet, you said that you're doing this out of justice? Who do you think you are?" "Speak! Do you have backups for these photos?" Fade asked lividly. Jackie's eyes flickered and he shook his head swiftly. "No, no, there's no backups." Jackie's slight movement did not escape Fade. Immediately, Fade slapped Jackie again and the latter was bleeding, Fade asked sharply, "Where did you keep your backups?"
Chapter 904 Jackie's cheeks were red and swollen. Blood was oozing out from his mouth. Nick could no longer take it. He tugged Jackie's clothes and advised, "Just give them the backups. We can't afford to offend people like them!" Fade added indifferently. "You should know who I am. You know the consequences if you don't hand it over now." Unexpectedly, Jackie was stubborn. His face was swollen but he remained silent. Instead, he stared at Fade and Winnie with a grin. He scoffed, "I've been tailing both of you for so long now, of course, I know who you are. You're Fade Chen, the big boss of Scott Entertainment, right?" Oh my, the big boss is in a relationship with the company's celebrity. Not just any artist but the most popular star in your company. I wonder what will happen to Scott Entertainment if I expose this. I think you should know the consequences!' Jackie was very adamant and he even tried to threaten Fade and Winnie. Winnie was furious. She argued, "Bullsh*t! Fade may be my boss but our personal lives have have nothing to do with the company" Jackie chuckled, "Miss Huo, even if I believe you, do you think your fans or the public would do the same?" "You." Winnie's face flushed from anger Jackie was more arrogant than ever. He wiped the blood on the corner of his lips and stared at Winnie and Fade. "Well, I guess that makes things easier since we all know the consequences." "A big boss and a famous celebrity, so both of you must be loaded. Say, it's fair if I get some money in exchange for these photos, right?" Jackie held out his hand. Winnie was aghast at Jackie's shameless behavior. She retorted, "You're blackmailing us. Don't you know that it's against the law?" Jackie waved his hands indifferently and replied, "Miss Huo, if I'm breaking the law, then go ahead and call the cops! It's no big deal for me because I'll just be detained for a few days. Yet, Miss Huo, if your photos are published, the consequences. Winnie was so angry that she could not speak. Fade's face darkened but kept quiet. Jackie glanced at Winne and Fade arrogantly. He motioned his extended arm and continued, "You're both running a business, so You should know your priorities, right? It's beneficial to invest a few million yuan in Miss Huo's future." Winnie gritted her teeth and fished out her mobile phone. She wanted to call the police. After all, she was innocent. Therefore, she would not feel guilty even if the photos were exposed. She was single and there was nothing between her and Fade. She was not afraid of gossip Meanwhile, Fade reached out and stopped her. "Winnie, don't bother. I'll take care of this Winnie paused for a moment and put her mobile phone away Jackie was grinning broadly. He stared at Fade and chuckled, "Mr. Chen, no wonder you're a successful businessman. I can see that you take a lot into account. With a famous celebrity like Miss Huo, it'll be easy for you to make millions of yuan in no time." "Haha, Mr. Chen, I'm not asking for a lot. Just twenty million yuan would do!" Jackie stretched out his hand pompously. Fade did not move. He stared at Jackie with a faint smile and asked, "You really don't know me, huh?" Jackie stared at Fade curiously. "Aren't you the major shareholder of Scott Entertainment?" "Do you think I'm scared of you? Mr. Chen, I'm not your employee and I don't work in the same field too. Therefore, I'm not afraid if you want to do anything to me." "Unless you kill me! Otherwise, I can rebuild my career effortlessly with a camera, a car, and a few men. I'll expose what you did to the public and your company would definitely suffer, right? Jackie was very experienced at forcing others into dead ends. If some normal celebrities bumped into Jackie, they would have paid Jackie. However, it was a pity that Jackie encountered Fade. Fade's lips curled into a smile and he shook his head. He chuckled, "You said you know me but I guess you have no idea who I am" Fade took out his mobile phone and made a call. He instructed, "Bring some men here now. Yes, bumped into something at Jonker Residential Area. You have five minutes. Also, ask Pablo to look up these two men..." "Huh?" Jackie was stunned. He regained himself and stared at Fade indifferently. He sneered, "You're trying to threaten me? I met a lot of people like you. I know that you're very influential and you can get someone to beat me up." "You can hurt me now but you can't beat me up forever. As long as I'm alive, i'll make sure to expose you" Jackie concluded resolutely. He was greedy for money Fade did not retort Jackie. He just shook his head and scoffed, "You're very ignorant, huh?" Shortly after a group of men stormed into the residential area. They went up to Fade with utmost respect and greeted him in unison, "Hello, Mr. Chen Fade waved his hand before pointing at Jackie and Nick. "That's them." Jackie was startled by the crowd. Yet, he said stubbornly, "You. I won't tell you anything even if you beat me to a pulp. I'm going to call the police. I.." Fade interrupted Jackie and ordered, "Take good care of them Fade pointed to Jackie and added, "Especially this one. Make sure to keep an eye on him 24/7. Confiscate any electronic devices if he tried to use them. "Yes, sir!" The burly leader nodded. He waved his arm and dozens of men charged forward and surrounded Jackie. Jackie was shocked but he was as stubborn as a mule. "This. This is illegal. Ill call the cops. Fade remained quiet while the leader sneered, "Call the cops? Go ahead. I have thousands of men. I'll send two men to follow you every day. If the cops arrest them, I'll send another pair after you. I have so many under my command and it's easy for me to keep this up for a few years." "You... You. Jackie did not expect Fade to do that. He was at a loss of words.
Chapter 905 Even in the face of the dire situation, Jackie was still skeptical. The leader, Tigre, claimed that he had thousands of men but he was probably lying. It was impossible for Fade to hire so many men to monitor Jackie. Jackie was excited again and decided to stand his ground, Suddenly, Fade's mobile phone rang. It was from Pablo. "Mr. Chen, regarding the duo you asked, I've collected some information about them. I'll send the details to your phone." "Okay, thank you. Fade hung up the call and checked Pablo's message. Immediately, Fade gained access to Jackie's and Nick's personal information, including their names, age, marital status, address and even their hometown Fade made the right choice when he saved the programmer. Pablo's skills were on par with hackers. After scanning through the details, Fade showed the message to Tigre and ordered, "Go to these addresses and look for their family members. Similarly, monitor them 24/7! Earlier, Jackie was indifferent but the color drained from his face when he spotted the addresses. Everything displayed on Fade's mobile phone was spot on. It included his home address, his daughter's school and his wife's workplace too. His family members would not be able to take it if the gangsters monitored them. He was flabbergasted. He stammered, "You... You can't do this! You're violating my privacy and it's against the law." Fade sneered, "You're talking to me about privacy now? Then why do you violate the privacy of celebrities?" "Since you make money off other people's privacy, you have no right to call me out. This is just the beginning. If you're unwilling to cooperate, I'll take further action" Fade continued coldly, Jackie was frightened. He would not be afraid if he was on his own but it was a different matter if his family was involved. Tigre's subordinates looked fierce and intimidating. Jackie dared not wager his family's safety on it. He was no longer stubborn and his head hung low. He pleaded, "Till give you the backups, so please leave my family out of this." "Where is it?" Fade asked coldly Jackie replied hurriedly, "I saved it in my personal computer at home." Tigre, follow him home and destroy all the photos," Fade ordered. "Yes, sir!" The Tigre nodded and tailed Jackie, Jackie was escorted away by Tigre and his men quietly Jackie was dragged into Tigre's van and they headed to Jackie's house. In the van, Tigre stared at Jackie scornfully and sneered, "Mr. Chen is just too nice. Why did he even bother to go through all the troubles for a wimp like you? He should just kill you and be done with it." Tigre's remarks made Jackie tremble in fear. Yet, Jackie was still skeptical about it. He thought that Tigre was just trying to scare him Tigre noticed the looks on Jackie's face and added coldly. "What? You don't believe me? You probably don't know what Mr. Chen is capable of, huh?" "Mr. Chen is the boss of Scott Entertainment, right?" Jackie asked in confusion. Tigre burst into laughter. He stared at Jackie and shook his head. He scoffed, "You're very ignorant. Otherwise, you're digging your own grave if you talk to Mr. Chen like that." "He has other identities?' Jackie was more confused than ever. Tigre became deadly serious. He lowered his voice and uttered, "Mr. Chen has many other identities. Any one of them is enough to make you beg for dear life." "No, that's impossible. He's just the boss of Scott Entertainment and he's probably just loaded. How could he. Tigre retorted coldly, "Just the boss of Scott Entertainment? You're really an idiot. It's a miracle that you managed to stay alive for so long." "Let me tell you. Mr. Chen, Fade Chen, is not only the boss of Scott Entertainment but also the vice president of Fei Enterprises Holding Inc." Jackie was taken aback. Fei Enterprises Holdings inc was more influential than Scott Entertainment. The former was the largest enterprise in Long City and its net worth was over tens of billions of yuan. Tigre continued, "Mr. Chen is the boss of Sincere Medicine Center too. They call him Magic Dr. Chen." "What? Sincere Medicine Center? Are you talking about the Sincere Medicine Center that produced the Ephedra Syrup?" Jackie was shaken and his face turned pale. Tigre scoffed, "You really know nothing, huh? Ephedra Syrup was formulated by Mr. Chen. Moreover, Mr. Chen has another title. Everyone knows him by Master Chen!" "Master Chen? What Master Chen?" Jackie was unfamiliar with the title. "How many Master Chen are there? Of course, I'm referring to the Master Chen who practices martial arts. "Martial arts... Master Chen. This.." Jackie was shocked. He continued to ask hurriedly, "You're talking about Master Chen who defeated Elder Sun, Francesca Sun, and the one who won Martial Arts Convention of the Five Province? The number one martial artist in Dragonville?" "Who else would dare to call themselves 'Master Chen?" Jackie was bewildered after Tigre confirmed it. Jackie's eyes went blank as he murmured, "This. This." "You finally know who you're messing with? You should know just how lucky you are. Tigre added, "Master Chen is more than capable of killing any Black Level martial artists effortlessly. How dare a nobody like you speak to Master Chen like that? You're playing with fire. A chill crept down Jackie's spine. His heart shuddered and he was trembling in fear He had no idea how terrifying Fade was. Jackie was scared out of his wits as he recalled what he did earlier. He froze and stared ahead of him blankly. "You're finally scared? Then you should just do as you're told. Tigre chided. Jackie was no longer in defiance. He nodded frantically and agreed hurriedly, "Yes, yes, you're right. I'll do whatever Mr. Chen asked me to. I'll delete all the photos as soon as I get home." "I.. I'll never work in this field again. No, I'm going to move. I'll move out of Dragonville right away. I'll never appear in front of Mr. Chen again!" Jackie muttered as cold sweat formed on his forehead.
Chapter 906 After resolving the incident with the paparazzi, Fade and Winnie returned to Winnie's apartment Half an hour later, Tigre made a phone call to Fade and reported that everything had been dealt with Fade passed on the news to Winnie. She breathed a sigh of relief and expressed her gratitude to Fade. After chatting for a while, they exchanged knowing looks, triggering flashbacks of what they did in her bedroom earlier. They lowered their heads and their faces blushed. They were thinking about the same thing. "If the paparazzi did not show up just now, they would have." Winnie blushed at the thought of that. She stole a glance at Fade. To her surprise, their eyes meet and she noticed the flames in Fade's eyes. Winnie's cheeks were burning. She lowered her head swiftly and fidgetted silently. She was at a loss. Fade noticed the awkward atmosphere between them. The air around them seemed to be warmer and their breathing was heavy "Winnie, L.." Fade's voice came out hoarse. He inched closer to Winnie in the heat of the moment Winnie's heart was racing when Fade moved closer to her. She tugged her shirt shyly and her face was bright red. "Erm." As their cheeks drew closer, they could feel each other's warm breaths. There was some chemistry between them. Their eyes were unfocused as they inched closer to each other. They were about to touch each other when they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the hallway. Promptly, the door swung open and a figure rushed in, "Winnie, I heard about what happened. Are you okay? I came to check on you. I bought your favorite..." A woman entered the room and it was none other than Winnie's best friend, Yoko. Yoko was carrying a huge bag full of snacks and groceries. She strode in beamingly to be greeted by the sight of Fade and Winnie embracing each other on the sofa. Immediately, Yoko was rooted to the spot. Yoko was shocked and turned to run out the door. She "Don't mind me. Just go on. You didn't see me." apologized hurriedly, It would have been better if Yoko kept quiet. Her remarks shattered the atmosphere between Fade and Winnie like a hot knife through butter. Winnie got up frantically and ran after Yoko. She called, "Wait, Yoko, come back!" Fade cleared his throat in an attempt to cover up the awkward mood. He exclaimed, "Yoko, what a coincidence. Are you here to visit Winnie too?" "Yeah!" Yoko nodded and passed the bag of groceries to Winnie. Winnie accepted the groceries and carried them to the kitchen. Yoko glanced at Fade apologetically and sniggered, "Fade, didn't mean to barge in on you. I think I should leave. You can just up from where you left off!" Yoko's remarks made Fade recall the first time he visited Winnie's place. Back then, he came to treat the bruises on Winnie's legs. Yoko rushed in when he was he was applying medicine for Winnie, Yoko even misunderstood his relationship with Winnie. Surprisingly, history repeated itself and Fade could only smile weakly. "Yoko, I'm here to treat Winnie. There's nothing else going on between us," Fade cleared his throat and explain Yoko did not seem to believe him. "Really?" "Ahem, of course." Fade was flustered as he scratched his head. Having put away Yoko's gift, Winnie walked out from the kitchen. Winnie spotted the looks on Fade's and Yoko's faces. Winnie asked curiously, "What were you two discussing? What's with that look?" Yoko gave a dry laugh and replied, "Nothing. I was just discussing with Fade about lunch. Why don't we dine out together? Winnie, it'll help take your mind off the incident too." "Well.. Winnie was a little hesitant. After all, she was a celebrity. It would be troublesome if someone recognized her. Paparazzi just tailed her, therefore she was very uneasy Fade knew Winnie's concern and he came up with an idea. He suggested, "I know a restaurant that serves delicious food. The owner is a close friend of mine. I'll book a private room and no one will spot us if we eat there. Before Winnie could answer, Yoko clapped her hands excitedly and cheered, "That's right, Fade a big boss and he should know all the good places. Winnie, is let's go. I'll tag along and see how big shots like Mr. Chen have lunch." Fade chuckled, "Yoko, stop teasing me. If you like, I'll tell the owner and you can just eat to your heart's content in the future." "Till keep that in mind. You must keep your promise!" Yoko said. Winnie nodded smilingly and said gratefully. Thanks, Fade." "It's my pleasure!" Fade waved his hand smilingly Winnie went back to her room to change. Fade made a phone call to Big Brother Liu and asked, "Big Brother Liu, it's Fade. Are you free now? I'm bringing two friends to Dragonville Seafood Restaurant Is there a private available?" Big Brother Liu immediately replied warmly, "I'm free, of course. Mr. Chen, you're the major shareholder of our restaurant and there'll always a place for you. If we have to, we'll even close the restaurant just to serve you!" Fade laughed, "Big Brother Liu, there's no need for that. I'm just an ordinary guest. Well, reserve a private room for me. I'll arrive shortly with two friends for lunch." Sure, Room 1 is all yours, Brother Liu chuckled. *Thank you, Big Brother Liu. I'll be right there right away" Fade hung up the call. Winnie finished changing. She was wearing an oversized overcoat, a wide brimmed hat and a pair of sunglasses. She masked herself so that no one would recognize her. The three of them left together Fade drove Winnie and Yoko to Dragonville Seafood Restaurant Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the restaurant Yoko's eyes lit up when she spotted the sign. She was at a loss for words. She clapped her hands happily and exclaimed, "Fade, you were talking about Dragonville Seafood Restaurant?" "That's right. I'm pretty close to the owner. Why? Do you know the restaurant too, Yoko?" Fade stared at Yoko curiously
Chapter 907 Yoko rolled her eyes at Fade and replied, "Who doesn't know about Dragonville Seafood Restaurant? Dragonville Seafood Restaurant has been very popular for the past six months. It's all over the news and many TV programs have been featuring them too. It's trending online too. Even the chef, Mr. Liu, has hundreds of thousands of fans on social media!" "Wow, I didn't know about that!" Fade was surprised, "You said you know the owner but you didn't even know about this? I've always wanted to try their food but it's always crowded. I can't even make a reservation. I finally have the chance to try it out!" Fade chuckled, "Enjoy it to your heart's content later." Yoko beamed brightly. She tugged Winnie as she got down from the car and said, "Winnie, Mr. Chen is treating us, so we must enjoy ourselves." After Fade parked his car, they walked towards the entrance together. Big Brother Liu welcomed them at the entrance smilingly and ushered them in. He greeted smilingly, "Mr. Chen, you're here. We reserved Room 1 for you. Please follow me." Fade chuckled, "Big Brother Liu, why are you being so polite? You can just call me Fade." Brother Liu laughed, "Fade, the friends you bring are our guests. It's normal for me to be courteous to our guests." The trio entered the private room Room 1 was the best private room in the restaurant. It was spacious and the interior was very elegant. It was a luxurious room with great ambiance. After taking their seat. Big Brother Liu said, "Fade, wait for a moment. I'll ask my dad to cook for you! After that, Big Brother Liu left to make some preparations. Yoko was delighted to hear that Mr. Liu was going to cook for them. She turned to Fade in awe. "Fade, you're really a big shot. They reserved the best private room for you and Mr. Liu is even cooking for us. If I were to come on my own, it'll be impossible for me to get this type of treatment!" Subsequently, Yoko turned to stare at Winnie and added, "Winnie, Fade is a great catch. He's so nice to you. You must strike when the iron is hot!" Yoko winked at Winnie meaningfully. Winnie's heart skipped a beat. Naturally, she understood what Yoko meant. Previously, Winnie shared with Yoko about everything. Yoko knew that Winnie had feelings for Fade. Moreover, Yoko caught Winnie and Fade being intimate with each other earlier. Hence, Yoko decided to hint at Winnie. She wanted Winnie to seize the opportunity and face her own feelings. Winnie's face reddened. She lowered her head and her cheeks were burning. Suddenly, they heard a series of footsteps coming from outside. They even heard someone screaming. Instantly, the trio turned to check what was going on. A woman's arrogant voice echoed in the hallway. "Mr. Tuan decided to dine here, so why aren't you escorting him to Room 1?" A waiter explained, "I'm sorry, sir. Room 1 is currently occupied. How about Room 2? The... "What? Hey, are you kidding me? This is Mr. Tuan we're talking about. You want us to eat in Room 2? What's wrong with you?" the woman shouted condescendingly. "But." The waiter wanted to explain but the woman interrupted harshly. "You two, go to Room 1. I don't care who it is but kick them out. Tell them Mr. Tuan is here. "Sir, I don't think that is a good idea, we." The waiter wanted to stop them but he suddenly cried in pain. Fade heard the commotion and frown. He stood up to check what was going on. Without warning, the door to the private room swung open. The door bounced heavily against the wall with a loud bang. Two bodyguards in black suits rushed into the private room A young man in fashionable clothes came in after the bodyguards. He wore a pair of sunglasses and strutted in with his head held high. There was a woman in her thirties next to the man The woman frowned and commanded the bodyguards, "What are you waiting for? Go and kick them out! Me Tuan is hungry, don't you understand?" "Yes, ma'am!" The two bodyguards nodded and approached Fade to evict the trio. One of the bodyguards began, "You guys.." Fade snorted without waiting for the bodyguard to finish. He bellowed, "What are you doing? "What? Are you deaf? Leave! We want this private room. The woman strode over arrogantly. Fade's face darkened and he retorted icily, This is our private room. Why do we have to leave? Who do you think you are? "Why?" The woman snorted. She pointed to the fashionable young man behind her and continued. "See? This is Mr. Tuan and I'm his manager, Bianca. Mr. Tuan is here for lunch. Now, move!" "We don't have time for people like you. Get out now. Do I make myself clear?" Bianca waved her hand to dismiss the trio pompously. Fade almost lost his temper. He sneered, "Mr. Tuan? I don't know him. Also, I don't care who you are, this is my private room. You're the one who should leave. Get out!" Fade pointed at Bianca and shouted angrily Bianca went ballistic. She glared at Fade and hissed, "Are you blind? This is Mr. Tuan, Efrian Tuan. Get out of here!" "Efrian?" Fade frowned and paused to think about the name. He seemed to have heard it somewhere but he could not recall it. Meanwhile, Winnie and Yoko were taken aback as they got up. They glanced at the young man and whispered to Fade, "Efrian is a celebrity." "A celebrity? I've never heard of him." Fade was a little confused. Yoko explained, "He's from Jade City. Two months ago, he rose to fame after he acted as the protagonist of a popular romance web series. He attracted a lot of fans, especially young girls. He's trending online lately." "Web series?" Fade furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. He vaguely recalled something about Efrian.
Chapter 908 However, Efrian had a good reputation online. All the discussions labeled him as a joyful, gentle and caring young man. He was always smiling gently during interviews and other events. Yet, his snobbish behavior did not fit the image he had online. Fade frowned at the thought of that. Bianca watched smugly as the trio discussed Efrian amongst themselves. She raised her head proudly and exclaimed, "You finally know who we are, huh? You should feel honored. Of course, it's not every day that you get the opportunity to give up your seats to a celebrity. Now move along." Fade sneered, "Efrian? So what? He's just a celebrity and he's not even that popular. Even if he's a superstar, this private room still belongs to me. I'm not leaving." "You.. How dare you... Bianca was furious. She pointed at Fade's nose and was about to scream at him. Concurrently, Big Brother Liu walked in hurriedly with his staff members. He asked, "What's going on? What happened? Bianca was as proud as a peacock as she scrutinized Big Brother Liu. She inquired, "You're the owner, right "Yes." Big Brother Liu nodded. Bianca declared arrogantly, "This is Mr. Efrian Tuan. We want to dine at your restaurant. We want to dine in Room 1, so prepare the seats for us right now." Bianca waved her hand and ordered Big Brother Liu matter-of-factly, "Hurry up, we can't waste time here." Big Brother Liu was taken aback and his face darkened. He snapped, "Sorry, Room 1 is taken. If you want a private room, then you should go to the other rooms. "What did you say?" Bianca seemed surprised. She stared at Big Brother Liu and added, "Think carefully. This is Efrian and he's a celebrity. Your business would be booming if everyone knows that Mr. Tuan patronized your restaurant. You know that, right?" Efrian uttered unhappily, "I read online that your restaurant is good, so I decided to visit. Otherwise, I would never even considered stepping into a restaurant like this." Big Brother Liu was so furious. He laughed madly and waved his hand to dismiss Efrain. He sneered, "If you don't want to eat here, Mr. Tuan, then please leave. We have enough customers to deal with!" "You." Bianca glared at Big Brother Liu in disbelief and screamed furiously, "Are you mad? We're celebrities and they're just three ordinary citizens. Yet, you refused to give us the private room because of them? You must be out of your mind! Big Brother Liu was seething with anger as Bianca continued to insult Fade. He took a big step forward and stared at Bianca in the eye. He proclaimed, "I don't care if you're a celebrity or an ordinary citizen. You're but a customer in my restaurant." "Also, no matter how you put it. Mr. Chen is way more important than people like you!" Big Brother Liu waved his hand at Bianca dismissively and continued, "You're not welcome here. Leave!" "You. What did you say?" Ethan was furious, He took off his sunglasses and glared at Big Brother Liu. He snapped coldly, "How dare you offend me?" "A single post from me and you can say goodbye to your restaurant. You're kicking me out?" Efrian threatened. Big Brother Liu sneered disdainfully and waved his hand. Several security guards came in immediately Big Brother Liu retorted icily, "Are you going to leave or do you want me to throw you out?" "Okay, great, I'll remember this. You.." Efrian was livid. He ordered his burly two bodyguards, "I don't care but I'm going to dine in Room 1. Go and kick them out." The bodyguards approached Fade menacingly. Big Brother Liu yelled angrily, "How dare you?" The security guards rushed over and intercepted Efrian's bodyguards. Efrian's expression turned grim. "You're going against me for these commoners?" Big Brother Liu said indifferently, "You're nothing to me. Mr. Chen is the major shareholder of our restaurant and the real boss. Miss Huo is a top celebrity Who do you think you are? How dare you insult them? "What, they.." Efrian and Bianca was astonished as they stared at the trio. They were bewildered when they recognized Winnie's face under her wide brimmed hat "Winnie Huo? This. "How could she.. Efrian and Bianca were dumbfounded and their expressions soured. Efrian just rose to fame not long ago. Yet, he was pale in comparison with top celebrities, However, Winnie was in the entertainment industry for over ten years. In recent years, she even regained her popularity and reclaimed her throne as a top celebrity. She was undoubtedly one of the best in the industry Efrian was just a junior to Winne. Yet, after a while, Bianca whispered something in Efrian's ear. It was not loud but Fade heard it clearly. Bianca scoffed, "Efrian, although Winnie is a top celebrity, she doesn't have any influence over you. Also, you belong to a company in Jade City, so we have nothing to do with her crappy company in Dragonville. You don't have to be afraid of her "Besides, she's almost thirty. She could only retain her popularity for another two or three years. Yet, you're still young. You're only twenty-three and there's a promising future ahead of you. We don't need to be afraid of her." Efrian regained his composure. He snorted. "I'm from Jade City, so I'm not familiar with any celebrities here. Miss Huo? Who you're talking about" "Is she is a real celebrity or just a random social media influencer? After all, 1 heard those stupid influencers are even treated like celebrities here. How ridiculous! "How dare you?" Yoko was livid when Efrian insulted Winnie. She pointed at Efrian and snarled, "Who do you think you are? You just gained some popularity and you're still wet between the ears. You don't have the right to talk to Winnie like that. Apologize now!" Fade snapped as well, Apologize to Winnie immediately!"
Chapter 909 Efrian retorted proudly "What? Am I not allowed to express my opinions? People in Dragonville are so rude." Bianca chipped in, "Mr. Tuan, I think there's no need for us to try a shabby restaurant like this. They probably use recycled oil to cook. It would be bad if we get sick. I think it's better for us to leave!" Efrian nodded and got ready to leave. Yoko and Winnie were so furious that their faces flushed. They glared at Efrian and his men Fade shouted, "I'm asking you to apologize, didn't you hear me?" Fade motioned to the security guards to blocked Efrian's way. Bianca screamed, "What do you think you're doing? Mr. Tuan is a celebrity. We'll make you pay if you ever lay hands on us." Efrian crossed his arms haughtily. He waved at his two bodyguards and shot Fade an icy glare. "You're messing with me? So what if you're a big shot? I'll not hesitate to show you who's boss." "Get them to move. I'm leaving" As soon as Efrian gave the order, his bodyguards rushed to the security guards to push the latter away. Efrian's bodyguards were professionals while the security guards in the restaurant were just ordinary citizens. After a few moments, the security guards were at a disadvantage Fade scowled and insisted, "You're not leaving without an apology!" He stepped in front of Efrian swiftly to block the latter. Efrian was upset. He ordered indignantly, "Beat him to a pulp!" The two bodyguards turned to Fade and prepared to hit Fade. Fade roared at them and extended his arms swiftly. His fists landed on the bodyguards. Immediately, the burly bodyguards dropped to the floor and could no longer move. Efrian and Bianca were rooted to the spot. They stared at Fade and he approached them slowly. They turned pale and their voices trembled, "You... What do you want?" "I'm a celebrity and I'm from Jade City. I'll make you pay if you lay a finger on me." Efrian threatened. Fade walked towards Efrian until he was breathing down Efrain's neck. Fade commanded, "I said, apologize." "L. Efrian was furious and he wanted to refute. However, he glanced at Fade's fists before turning to the bodyguards sprawled on the floor. His stomach churned and he could only comply. He muttered, "I... 1 apologize." Fade gestured at Winnie and demanded, 'Apologize to Winnie." "You..." Efrian gritted his teeth as he walked towards Winnie. He bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Huo. I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you. Please forgive me!" Winnie was quiet as she waved her hand in disgust. Fade pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out of here. You're not welcomed here." Efrian was livid but he suppressed his anger. He left with Bianca with their tails between their legs. After dealing with Efrian, Fade returned to the private room with Winnie and Yoko. Shortly after, the waiter served them Dragonville Special Seafood Soup that was prepared by Mr. Liu. Winnie and Yoko tried some soup. They were delighted by how delicious it was. They proceeded to gobble down the food without a care in the world. The two women ate happily and forgot all about Efrian. After that, Fade sent Winnie and Yoko home. In the car, the trio was making small talk. Yoko checked her mobile phone and exclaimed angrily, "Ridiculous! This guy is shameless." "What's wrong?" Fade and Winnie asked in unison. Yoko showed them her mobile phone's screen and replied, "Look, Efrian just posted something. He even highlighted the Dragonville Seafood Restaurant and complained that the food was horrible. He even said that the staff members were rude and they even attacked him. He's asking his fans and friends to boycott Dragonville Seafood Restaurant. Fade grimaced. Yoko continued scrolling through her feed and she got angrier. She added lividly, "Efrian's fans started posting negative comments on Dragonville Seafood Restaurant's page. They even gave very low ratings on all the other social media platforms." "Some celebrities even shared Efrian's post. They tagged some government departments and the cops, asking them to investigate the restaurant. It's escalating." Winnie was furious and took out her mobile phone. "I'll post an explanation. It would be bad if everyone believed him and that'll affect the reputation of Dragonville Seafood Restaurant." Fade stopped her and replied, "Winnie, there's no need for that. I'll take care of it." "But if it goes on like this, the restaurant's reputation would be ruined. I'm worried.." Winnie was frustrated. Fade shook his head and explained, "Dragonville Seafood Restaurant managed to grow because of the food quality and others recommendation. It's very popular and they're always full. Hence, these negative comments will not affect their business." "If you try to explain it it will only cause a war between the fans. It won't solve the problem and you'll get dragged down too. I'll ask Dragonville Seafood Restaurant to post an explanation on their official page." Fade added. "Are you sure?" Winnie was still concerned. Fade snorted, "Of course, I'm not letting it slide. Efrian thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because he has fans. He's nothing but a small product in front of money "Fade, you mean. Winnie and Yoko trailed off. Fade concluded coldly, "Winnie, Yoko, don't forget who I am. We're in Dragonville. It's easy to deal with a small fry like him." After that, Fade immediately contacted Scott on his mobile phone. He instructed, "Fatty, look up someone for me. He's a celebrity from Jade City. His name is Efrian Tuan. He just arrived at Dragonville. Find out what he's doing here! "Okay, Brother Fade. I know Efrian and I'll get back to you right away." Scott promised and hung up the call.
Chapter 910 After sending Winnie and Yoko home, Fade received a phone call from Fatty. "Brother Fade, I dug up some information about Efrian "Go on!" Fade urged. Scott replied, "He was a big hit after acting in a web series. Two days ago, quite a number of companies in Dragonville invited him over for collaborations. He's invited to several launching ceremonies and a few companies hired him as their ambassador. Currently, his net worth is over several million yuan" "The most important collaboration is the ambassadorship for a sundry company called Cleanary Company. I heard that the contract is twenty million yuan for a span of two years." "They should have come to an agreement. They'll officially sign the contract tomorrow morning and hold a small press conference after that." Fade pondered for a moment and instructed, "I need you to tell all the companies in Dragonville that they're not allowed to cooperate with Efrian. If anyone asks, tell them I called the shot." Scott immediately nodded and answered, "You mean boycotting Efrian in Dragonville? I understand! "Yeah, also, get me the address of the press conference. I'll drop by tomorrow." "Alright, I'll send you the address right away." The next day, a press conference stage was set up in front of Cleanary Company There were still two hours left before the press conference. Yet, thousands of fans gathered at the entrance. All of them held up posters and signs. They were chanting Efrian's name frantically. Most of the fans were young girls. Their cheeks were flushed in the cold but their eyes were glowing with enthusiasm Fade arrived at the venue in casual attire. He stared at the excited young girls and he felt sorry for them. Fade had nothing against their fascination for celebrities. Nevertheless, it would be a different case if the said celebrity was an ill-mannered guy like Efrian. At ten in the morning, a fleet of Mercedes-Benz limousines arrived at the venue. The fans went crazy. They waved the posters and screamed hysterically. "Efrian, Efrian!" "Efrian, I love you!" "Efrian is the best! We will always support you!" Efrin was welcomed warmly by his fans. Yet, he ignored them as the car drove into the building. Inside the company, Efrian and Bianca got out of the car with bodyguards by their side Bianca waved at the staff of Cleanary Company and declared, "Tell your boss that Mr. Tuan doesn't have enough time and he can only stay for half an hour." The staff members frowned immediately and one of them retorted unhappily. "We agreed that he'll stay for an hour. Before signing the contract, there will be a brief interview and a meet and greet session with the fans. Half an hour is not enough!" Bianca was unsympathetic. She scoffed, "Mr. Tuan is a man. He has other matters to attend to after this. Anyway, half an hour is all we got. If that's not enough, then come up with a solution. If worse comes to worst, you can cut off a few programs. Those mini-games and interactive events are just a waste of time anyway." The staff member wanted to argue but Efrian checked his watch promptly and concluded, "The clock is ticking the moment I stepped out of the car. You have twenty-eight minutes left. Hurry up." Although the staff members were furious, they could only glare at Efrian and Bianca as they hurried away to continue their work. Time was limited and they had to report it to their boss. Shortly after, the boss of Cleanary Company. Connor Zu, appeared. He was displeased as he spoke to Efrian, "Mr. Tuan, we had an agreement. If you're only staying for half an hour, then we cannot complete the event." Efrian frowned and retorted, "We only agreed to an hour verbally. In fact, I mentioned that my time is very precious and there would be last- minute changes, right?" "You." Connor was a little furious. Bianca chipped in arrogantly, "Mr. Zu, it's only a signing ceremony, so half an hour is more than enough. We'll have enough time if you cut off those irrelevant programs." Efrian added, "Mr. Zu, my time is very precious. Let's begin." Connor was furious. Yet, he recalled that the company made a lot of preparations to secure Efrian's endorsement. The company would suffer a huge loss if Connor gave up, hence he decided to follow through. Connor hissed between gritted teeth, "Let's go." He turned to his subordinate and instructed, "Tell the staff to cut short the interview and the meet and greet session. Tell them to be quick about it." Everyone went to the venue hurriedly. The time of the event was cut short. Thus, the host announced the theme and itinerary of events swiftly and began the interview with Efrian, In the interview, the host would ask Efrian some questions about his daily problems. He was supposed to relate his answers to Cleanary Company's product to promote their products. However, Efrian was uninterested as he brushed off every single question with fillers like 'Nope', 'Meh' and 'It's a secret Therefore, the very brief interview session came to an end awkwardly. The upcoming event should be a mini-game session. A few lucky fans would be chosen to interact and play games with Efrian on stage. It was not surprising that all of Efrian's fans were looking forward to it. The fans started shouting hysterically before the session even began. The venue was very lively, However, the host announced that the event was replaced with an autograph session. The host asked Efrian to select a few lucky fans to receive his autograph The fans were dumbfounded at the sudden change of event. Despite their disappointment, they tried very hard to squeeze forward in hope that they would be chosen "Efrian, I love you. Choose me!" "Efrian, I am a long-time fan. Pick me!" "Pick me! Choose me!" The crowd cheered, Efrian started giving out his autographs under the close watch of his bodyguards. After signing a few autographs expressionlessly, Efrian turned around to head back to the stage. His fans went berserk and rushed towards the stage madly. A thin young girl stood among them. The sixteen-year-old girl held a sketchbook in her arms. She struggled desperately to get to the front and opened the sketchbook. She screamed, "Efrian, I'm your fan. I drew over thirty pictures in this sketchbook. I want you to have it. I hope you like it."
Chapter 911 The young girl's outburst caught the attention of the fans around her. Everyone turned to look at her. In the sketchbook, every page was filled with Efrian's portrait. Every single image was sketched with a pencil painstakingly and the details were astounding. It was obvious that she put a lot of effort into the sketches. Immediately, all the fans stopped squeezing their way through and cheered for the young girl "Efrian, accept her gift!" "It's so beautiful. If I were as capable, I would draw for Efrian too. "Efrian, we love you." Without anyone pushing the young girl, she immediately made her way to the front. She blushed and walked up to Efrian excitedly. She was hoping to hand over the sketchbook to him personally, However, Efrian just gave the sketchbook a brief glance before he turned his back to her. He uttered icily to the staff, "There's not much time left. Move on to the next session." Efrian's cold attitude shocked the young girl. She stood rooted to the spot as she held up her sketchbook. She stared at Efrian in disbelief. She snapped back to her senses. She thought that Efrian must not have heard her over the noisy crowd. Therefore, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Efrian, I sketched these drawings for you. Please accept it. I hope you like it! Many other fans also shouted on behalf of the young girl, imploring Efrian to accept the sketches However, Efrian had no intention of doing so. He waved his hand impatiently and instructed his bodyguards, "Stop them. Don't let them get near me." Immediately, several bodyguards rushed forth to hold the fans back. The young girl did not expect that all her efforts would go down the drain. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stared at Efrian, who was on the stage. She shouted in a choked voice, 'Efrian, I... I just wanted to give you a gift. L." Before she could finish, the bodyguards pushed roughly and she fell on the ground. Her sketchbook dropped to the ground. Amidst the chaos, the bodyguards crushed the sketchbook under their feet. "No, my sketches!' The young girl rushed to retrieve her sketchbook. However, she was overwhelmed by the bodyguards. They shoved her away and her hands and knees began to bleed. Immediately, everything went out of control. "Someone fell down. Stop pushing!" "Quick, she's bleeding. Help her up quickly "Are you out of your mind? Didn't you see the little girl who fell down? Why are you still pushing!" In the chaos, Fade squeezed to the young girl and helped her up. He asked, "Are you okay?" The young girl wiped the bloodstains off her hands and frowned at Efrian. She shook her head tearfully and replied, "I. I'm fine, It's just.. She trailed off and stared at her torn sketchbook on the floor. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears. Meanwhile, Efrian had no intentions of stopping the bodyguards. He waved his hand and instructed the bodyguards to continue pushing the fans. Fade was furious. He knocked two bodyguards out of the way and yelled coldly, "Didn't you see that someone fell down? Why are you still pushing? Are you out of your mind?" "Also, Efrian, she put in a lot of effort into her artworks. It's fine if you don't accept it but why did you ask your bodyguards to shove the fans? What are you even thinking?" A lot of fans chorused with Fade and shouted angrily at Efrain. "Efrian, you've gone too far!" "That's right, we came here to support you. Yes, your time is limited, so you did not want to interact with the fans. However, you don't even have the time to receive a sketchbook?" "He looked so warm and gentle in the web series but he's actually very cruel "Apologize!' The crowd started chanting. "You must apologize!" "You're being too rude. We want you to apologizel Suddenly, everyone at the venue was calling out Efrian for his behavior. They demanded Efrian to apologize to the young girl. As a result, the staff members had no choice but to suspend the upcoming contract signing ceremony. Connor gave Efrian a knowing glare Connor wanted Efian to clean up the mess he made. However, Efrian merely glanced at the frantic fans offstage. He had no intention of apologizing. On the contrary, he snapped coldly, "My time is very precious. I don't have time to fool around with all of you." Efrian turned to Connor and said, "Mr. Zu, I only have another five minutes left. Let's sign the contract. Connor turned red from anger. He was at a loss for words. In the meantime, many of Efrian's fans started to hate him. They started cursing him and calling him names. The young girl next to Fade could no longer hold back and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was miserable and disappointed. She put in so much time and effort to support her idol. However, all she got in return was a cold glare. She treated Efrian like her sun but he treated his fans like pests. He trampled on their feelings. Instantly, angry voices grew. "Apologize! Apologize right now!" "Efrian, How could you? I can't believe you're someone like that." "Disgusting! To think I actually liked you, I must have been blind." "Apologize! Apologize to us!" As the venue erupted, Efrian furrowed his brows. He was going to lose his temper. Meanwhile, Bianca whispered something to him and said to Connor, "Mr. Zu don't worry about these pointless people. Let's sign the contract Chief Zu's face darkened and he was hesitant. The mess Efrian got himself into would definitely have a negative impact on his career. Connor was worried that Efrian's problems would affect his company's products. However, if Connor did not sign the contract, the amount of money he invested in Efrian would all go down the drain. It would be a huge loss for the company After hesitating for a while, Chief Zu made up his mind. He decided to sit down and sign the contract. After all, he did not want to waste his effort and money. Efrian smiled and ignored his raging fans. After all, he had tons of fans and losing a few of them was not a big deal to him. After signing the contract, he would get twenty million yuan. It was definitely an important contract. Efrian signed the contract quickly and passed it to Connor. Suddenly, a cold voice came from the crowd. "Mr. Zu, don't sign it"
Chapter 912 Everyone on stage turned their heads to search for the voice. Efrian narrowed his eyes when he spotted Fade approaching him. He exclaimed, "It's you!" Bianca was very tense. She gestured to the bodyguards and instructed, "Hurry up, guards, kick him out of here!" Immediately, Efrian explained to Connor, "Mr. Zu just ignore this troublemaker. Let's continue." However, Connor's eyes were fixated on Fade. He seemed to not hear what Efrian sald. Efrian frowned and sounded upset. "Mr. Zu, I don't have a lot of time, you.." Before Efrian could finish, Connor's expression suddenly changed. Connor shouted at the bodyguards who were charging at Fade, "All of you, stop! A smile appeared on Connor's face and he approached Fade hurriedly. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?" Fade and Connor headed onstage together and Fade replied flatly, "Did you receive the notice I asked Scott to issue yesterday?" "Notice? What notice?" Connor was a little confused. He turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled look. His secretary paused for a moment and replied, "Last night, we received a message. However, sir, you were already asleep, so we did not notify you about it. Moreover, since this morning, you were busy with the signing ceremony, thus we decided to show you the message later today" "What? How could you do that? Mr. Chen's notice has the utmost priority. Hurry up. go... Connor instructed hurriedly. The secretary turned to head back to the office to get the notice swiftly, However, Fade waved his hand and uttered, "It's just a brief notice. Don't bother to get it. I'll just tell you. "Mr. Chen go ahead!" Connor said respectfully. Fade glanced at Efrian and answered, "The message is simple. I asked everyone to terminate any cooperation with Efrian and boycott him in Dragonville." "This..." Connor was taken aback. He was not expecting that. Fade lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling to do it?" Connor shuddered and shook his head. He explained quickly, "No, I'll obey all your orders, Mr. Chen." Connor turned to Efrian and concluded, "Mr. Tuan, I'm sorry. I'm cancelling our contract Initially, Efrian was skeptical about Connor's attitude. However, he was shocked when he heard Connor. He frowned and argued, "Mr. Zu, I signed the contract." Bianca rushed over fiercely and shouted, "Mr. Zu, we agreed to sign this contract. You must know about Mr. Tuan's popularity by now. If you miss this opportunity, it would be harder for you to get Mr. Tuan to work with you in the future." Fade had spoken and Connor had no choice but to obey. Connor shook his head and replied coldly, "I'm sorry, I've changed my mind." Bianca protested, "Mr. Zu, you're breaching the contract. We could press charges against you." Connor flew off the handle. All along, Efrian put forward nothing but absurd demands. On top of that, he even shortened the time of the press conference on his own. He was uncooperative and did not participate in the flow of the event. Yet, after all that, he was trying to threaten Connor? Connor exploded and snapped sharply, "Let's get things straight. I paid you to be our company's ambassador, so stop acting like a spoiled brat. There are many more celebrities out there and I can replace you effortlessly" Connor added, "Breaching the contract? That's funny. How do I breach an agreement that I haven't even signed? If you want to press charges, then go ahead." "You." Bianca pointed at Connor rudely. She was so angry that she could not speak Meanwhile, Efrian was very upset. He glared at Fade resentfully. He lost twenty million yuan because of Fade's behavior. It was not a small sum of money! "You again!" Efrian gnashed his teeth Fade's eyes darkened and he uttered coldly, "People like you shouldn't even think about making money in Dragonville. It's better for you to leave." Bianca huffed angrily, "Humph, who do you think you are? So what if Mr. Zu calls off the collaboration? There are still a lot of companies who are dying to cooperate with us.' She checked the time and reminded Efrian, "Mr. Tuan, we have another event. Let's go, it's nearly time." Efrian glared at Fade and turned to leave with Bianca Connor was livid. It turned out that Efrian cut short the press conference because he was rushing for another event to get more money. Efrian had no morals and Connor regretted asking Efrian to endorse his brand. He had no choice but to look for another ambassador. All the money he spent on Efrian would go down the drain. Fade said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zu. I will make up for your losses." Connor was overjoyed. Everyone knew how powerful Fade was in Dragonville. A tiny help from Fade was more than enough for Connor. Connor suppressed his delight and kept his composure. "Mr. Chen, you're too nice. It's an honor to work for you. How could I ask for con ion?" Fade waved his hand and replied placidly, "Just accept it. I won't take advantage of you." "Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Chen" Connor was thrilled. Meanwhile, Fade glanced at Efrian and Bianca, who were about to leave. He concluded, "I said that I'll have you boycotted in Dragonville. You'll not be receiving any collaboration offers after this." "Boycott? Who do you think you are? You're just an owner of a small restaurant? You think you can do anything to me? I'm a celebrity. Efrian scoffed arrogantly. Suddenly, Bianca's mobile phone rang. She picked up the call and her face darkened. "Why... Before she could finish, the caller hung up the call.
Chapter 913 Efrian felt that something was wrong. He asked, "What's wrong?" Before Bianca could answer, the phone rang again. Upon answering the call, she was gloomy and was not pleased. "Wait, not you too?.. One after another, the calls kept coming in. In just a few minutes, five to six calls came in. All of them simply said a few sentences and then hung up the phone. With each call, Bianca's expression grew heavier and heavier until it seemingly developed a gravity of its own. Her chubby hands were trembling, and she spaced out as her mobile phone dropped to the ground. Seeing this, Efrian frowned as he asked, "What's wrong? What on Earth happened? Bianca looked at Efrian as her voice turned into a sob, "Mr. Tuan, the organizer of the opening ceremony later called to cancel our collaboration, and asked us not to go." "How could this be?" Efrian was dumbfounded. After all those few minutes at the opening ceremony would net him several million yuan! Bianca continued with a long face, "Not only is the next event canceled, but the upcoming restaurants, jewelry shops, and bath centers all called to cancel their events. They said that they do not wish to collaborate with us anymore." *This, this... Efrian was truly dumbfounded. If one or two of the collaborations were canceled, it might be a coincidence. Now that all of them were canceled, something must have gone really wrong. Efrian and Blanca slowly looked towards Fade as they thought about what he said, "to boycott Efrian from Dragonville." Their hearts skipped a beat and they started having a bad feeling about it. "Is.is this guy really some big shot? Is he really capable of banishing me from Dragonville?" Efrian thought. Just as the two were still dumbfounded, Connor snorted. He stared at them and said, "You have offended Mr. Chen in Dragonville. You must really have a death wish. If you apologize to Mr. Chen now, there may yet be a glimmer of hope for you." "Mr. Chen? Him, you really." Efrian and his agent looked at Fade unbelievably. Fade said placidly, "I have said that I will blacklist you from Dragonville. I have also said that I don't want to see you in Dragonville again. Get out of here." "You." Efrian was so furious that he wanted to order his bodyguards to take action. However, Fade no longer needed to take action himself. As soon as Connor gave the order, dozens of security guards surrounded Efrian and his men. Frightened by the sheer number of security guards, they hurried back to the car and left the scene. After Efrian left, Fade chatted with Connor for a while, promising him the benefits he offered earlier. Then Fade approached the little girl who was pushed down with the sketchbook still in her hands and treated her wounds. The little girl's face was full of gratitude. She looked at Fade and said, "Sir, thank you. I, I really don't know how to... Fade smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. You're still young, of course girls your age would be chasing after the stars. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but next time, choose an idol with a good personality, alright?" "Yes, I will." The little girl looked at Fade and said with a sweet smile, "Sir, you will be my idol from now on. I'm going to chase after you instead of all those celebrities." Fade laughed, patted the little girl's head and said with a smile, "I'm not a celebrity nor any idol. However, if you insist then it's fine by me. *Yes, I will" The little girl nodded earnestly, The other fans surrounding them applauded with smiles on their faces. Then, Fade left the scene. Concurrently, Efrian, who left the scene, was still unconvinced. He gritted his teeth and said, "That guy, he messed up my business, causing me to lose so much money. Perform a background check on him, I still don't believe that such a small boss is really capable of blacklisting me in Dragonville." Bianca nodded and picked up her cell phone and began to make phone calls. "Mr. Huang, I am Mr. Tuan's agent. Yes, yes, it is me. I'd like to ask a favor from you. Help me look into a person from Dragonville. His name is Fade. He is about 20 years old, very young, and..." Speaking of this, Bianca suddenly paused. Mr. Huang, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to be trembling in fear. He said, "Fade, a very young Mr. Chen, I can't look him up. I can't afford to. "Mr. Huang, I." Bianca wanted to say something, but Mr. Huang had already hung up the phone. "What's the matter?" Bianca frowned and then dialed another number on her phone. "I'll ask Boss Xu then. Hello, Mr. Xu, I am..! This time, the exact same thing happened again. When she mentioned Fade's name, Mr. Xu hung up in a panic. "This.." Blanca was dumbfounded. Efrian frowned, then took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll make the phone call myself and ask Miss You. She's well- informed, so she must know something." "Hello, Miss You, I'm Efrian! Yes, Could you help me look someone up? It's not a big deal. I just want to know about someone named Fade. He's about 20 years old, and he's from Dragonville, the owner of a small restaurant. He and ..! Efrian tried his best to make light of it. But before he could finish his words, Miss You on the other end of the phone was so shocked that she started shouting. "Fade, Mr. Chen, how did you make Mr. Chen angry? Please don't have any conflict with Mr. Chen please don't. Miss You's reaction stunned Efrian. "Miss You, is Fade that powerful?" "It's not a matter of whether he's powerful or not." Miss You snapped, "In Dragonville, Mr. Chen's existence is like a god." "Is he that powerful? Who on Earth is he? The son of a senior officer, or is he just some kid from a well-off family?* Efrian asked in surprise. Even on the phone, Miss You unconsciously lowered her voice and said, "It's none of them. Mr. Chen is so powerful he is incomparable to those kids that leech off their parents. Mr. Chen's success is all due to his own hard work and he is more capable than those well off families." "How can it be? He is so young, how can he be so powerful? Miss You, this, this does not make any sense!" Efrian was still full of doubt. Miss You changed her tone again as she spoke seriously, "Efrian, since we have been collaborating for so many years, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't mess with Mr. Chen."
Chapter 914 "But, I.." Efrian was feeling a bit stuffy under the distress. Miss You could hear that Efrian was not going to let this go, so she said "Efrian, listen to me. Mr. Chen is the vice chairman of Fei Enterprises Holding Inc and his wife is the president of the company. Moreover, Mr. Chen is the biggest shareholder of the biggest entertainment company in Dragonville, Scott Entertainment. Mr. Chen is the boss and the chief doctor of a well-known pharmacy. Sincere Medicine Center. In addition, he is also the inventor of the Ephedra Syrup." "How, how could he... Hearing this Efrian was speechless. Meanwhile, Miss You continued, "Besides, what makes Mr. Chen so terrifying is due to the fact that he is the number one martial artist "A year ago, he defeated Francesca, the Master of the Sun family, the number one martial arts family in Dragonville." "Half a year ago, he defeated all the martial artists from various districts during the Martial Arts Convention and became the number one master of the five provinces." "Half a month ago, he publicly executed an Ace Killer sent by the Blood Blade Killer Organization. Since then, he is known as the number one martial artist in Dragonville, as well as our pride and joy Upon hearing this, Efrian had flashbacks of the time when they were in Dragonville Seafood Restaurant. How he defeated his two bodyguards without breaking a sweat. Immediately, he felt a chill run down his spine and he started shivering Miss You continued giving her advice over the phone, "So, now you understand why you can't anger Mr. Chen. If you provoke him, blacklisting you in Dragonville is but a walk in the park for him. If he's really furious, he could kill you anytime he wishes." Hearing this, Efrian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. His mouth hung wide open but nothing came out. Efrian, that's all I have to say. Take care of yourself" Miss You hung up call Bianca saw the look of fear on Efrian's face and she started growing curious, "Mr. Tuan, what did Miss You say? What did you find out?" Efrian finally came to his senses, his expression taking on a dramatic turn. He didn't bother answering Bianca and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, we're going to the airport. I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now. I'm going back to Jade City "Mr. Tuan, what's the matter? Are you... Bianca was puzzled. Efrian Immediately told Bianca everything Miss You said. Shocked at the sudden influx of information, Bianca froze in place. They rushed straight to the airport, bought tickets for the next plane to Jade City and boarded the plane immediately. It was only when the plane took off that the tension in them finally loosened. After dealing with Efrian, Fade headed home. Before he even had a chance to kiss his wife, Quin had to leave. This was because the cosmetics exhibition in Jade City was about to begin. Lily went over to the venue earlier to make preparations, and she should almost be done. Now, Quin had to go there and take over the corresponding work. Fade personally sent his wife off and secretly asked Lucas to follow Quin, protecting her from the shadows. Although the matter regarding the Blood Blade Killer Organization had been resolved, prevention is better than cure. After sending Quin off, Fade drove home. His phone rang as soon as he got home. Fade looked at the caller ID and found it was Lily. He asked curiously, "Hey, Sister Lily, why are you calling me? Has Quin arrived? I don't think she's there yet!" Lily, who was on the other end of the phone, froze. "I'm aware that Quinn is coming, I'm at the airport to pick her up, but she hasn't arrived yet. I'm calling you because of something else. "Oh, what's up, Sister Lily?" Fade asked Lily said in a serious tone, "Fade, when I was on my way, I came across some news in Jade City that I believe is related to you." "What? The news in Jade City? How could It have something to do with me? I have never been to Jade City. What's the news?" Fade was puzzled. Lily said, "It's an interview. The interviewees were a family of three. They said that they went to Dragonville some time ago to visit the Sincere Medicine Center for treatment because their child was ill. But they said that they had a bad experience there. The staff was rude, the infrastructure was terrible and the staff even tried to threaten them." "In short, they said a lot of bad things about you and the Sincere Medicine Center. Even your full name was revealed in the interview and it has already been aired by the media in Jade City. Although it has little influence, I am worried that it will not be good for your reputation if it continues to spread." "What? Fade frowned. "Was there such a thing? Who was in the interview?" Lily replied, "It's a young couple. The woman's name seems to be Wendy, and the man's name is Anthony. I heard that he's a foreigner working for a company in Jade City "They are" At the sound of these two names, Fade immediately thought of the fat kid in Fish's class, Eric, and his parents, Wendy and Anthony One time, the couple brought Eric to his pharmacy for treatment and arrogantly tried to cut the queue, but Fade was not having it. After Fade berated them, they apologized to Fade in order for Eric to get treated. Initially, Fade thought they had repented. However, it seems that a leopard cannot change its spots. After going to Jade City, they actually went to the media to make false accusations against him. Fade instantly flared up with anger. At the other end of the phone, Lily asked, "Fade, what do you think? Should we do something about this?" Fade said, "Go to the media immediately and explain exactly what happened. "Okay, I'll arrange it right away" Lily was very efficient. Fade nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Sister Lily, please help me relay a message. Tell them that it's for Wendy and Anthony "What do you want me to say? Lily asked. Fade's eyes narrowed as he said, "Tell them that it's advisable to finish the medicine prescribed by Sincere Medicine Center. Otherwise, they will regret it." "This." Lily was a little confused, but she did not question it and immediately said, "Okay, I'll remember this. I'll arrange for someone to relay the message." "Okay! Sister Lily, thank you for your hard work" Fade said with concern. Fade's concern warmed Lily's heart. Her tone softened as she said, "The preparation for the exhibition is nearly done. It's my pleasure
Chapter 915 After talking to Lily, Fade headed home. Not long after, he received a call from his wife, Quin. "Honey, have you arrived safely?" Fade said as soon as he answered the phone. Quin said faintly, "Yes, I am here with Lily. We are on our way back to the hotel! "Well, Honey, you must be tired after such a long flight. Have a good rest tonight, okay?" Fade said with concern. Quin softly acknowledged, then said, "I know but I just thought of something earlier. If it's not too troublesome for you, can you make this trip for me?" "What's the matter? Fade was a little curious. Quin said, "So the thing is. After three days, it will be Shinnie's grandad's death anniversary. As a descendant, I should be dropping by for a visit. However, I won't be able to make it. Three days later, you'll have to make a trip on my behalf." "Hmm, I have time for small matters like this. I'll make the trip when the time comes. Fade immediately nodded and agreed. Quin said, "Alright, that's all. I'm hanging up His wife's attitude was cold and she was not willing to say another word. Fade initially had a few more warm words for her, but he never got to say them in the end The next day, the little girl Shinnie called and told Fade the details about her grandfather's grave visit so that arrangements could be made. Soon, it was the day of the visit. Fade got up early and went to the Sun family Almost all the people from the Sun family were present. They changed into plain clothing and stood solemnly in the lobby Francesca was very respectful to Fade. Upon seeing Fade's arrival she came and greeted him. "Mr. Chen, you're here. Our Sun family is honored. Please take a seat!" Fade waved his hand and said, "Elder Sun, today I am here on behalf of Quin. I'm here today as a descendant of the Old Master. Please carry on, don't let me interrupt you all." Francesca cupped her hands at Fade and said, "Forgive our neglect, then, Mr. Chen." Immediately, Francesca made an announcement and they headed out. The Old Master's graveyard was located on a mountain in the suburbs of Dragonville, so they had to drive there. Fade and Shinnie went in the same car as they headed to the suburbs, On the way, Shinnie told Fade some stories about her grandfather. When Francesca came back from learning martial arts, her status in the family was high. Shinnie's grandfather was married into the Sun family, taking on the Sun family name. Back then, it was a shameful thing to do for a man. Therefore, Shinnie's grandfather was not regarded highly in the Sun family. Many people had no respect for him. However, while Shinnie's grandfather was not of high regard in the family, her grandmother, Francesca treated him with great respect. Even as the Old Master was frowned upon in their family, he endured all the gossip and supported Francesca silently This was also the reason why Francesca insisted on visiting the Old Master's grave every year even though he had passed on for so many years. For this Old Master whom he had never met before, Fade only had respect. An hour later, they arrive at the foot of the mountain Getting out of the car, they started hiking up the mountain. As it was winter, most of the greenery had already withered. Weeds were overgrown everywhere, to the point where it obscured their path. They had no choice but to chop away at the weeds with a pair of shears so they could continue moving forward. Fortunately, all of the members of Sun family were well trained in the martial arts. Hiking up the mountain was a breeze to them. After twenty minutes, they arrived in front of a rock that towered three metres tall at the top of the hill. Navigating around the rock, they came face to face with a small tombstone. Unlike the luxurious tombstone that Fade had imagined, this was a very ordinary and simple grave. A cracked tablet engraved with messy handwriting stood alone in front of a shallow mound. However, when Francesca saw the stone tablet, her eyes softened and she started tearing up. At that instant, a martial master before them became a weathered, elderly woman, her visage ravaged by the years. Seeing Francesca in this state, Fade couldn't help but sigh. Shinnie's eyes were also full of tears. She whispered, "This is where my grandfather met my grandmother. His dying wish was to be buried here after his death. He wanted to always be reminded of how they met the very first time." Fade nodded. He was silent but he understood the Old Master's feelings. Francesca wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and then gently brushed away the dust on the tombstone. Turning around to the younger generation behind her, she said, "Let's begin." Immediately, the descendants of the Sun family got to work. Working together, they cleared the trash and weeds around the area. They also gently and respectfully wiped the dirt off the tombstone with clean water and a cloth. As a member of the younger generation, Fade did his part and participated. It was the only way to express his feelings. After cleaning up the tomb, it was time to pay respects to the Old Master. Fortune paper money, flowers, and other offerings were all placed on the altar, as the descendants took turns to kneel and pay their respects. As Fade was not a descendant of the Sun family, he did not kneel. Instead, he bowed deeply and offered a bouquet of flowers to pay his respects. After everyone paid their respects, they left. Shinnie gently pulled Fade aside and said, "Brother Chen, let's go over there." "What's wrong?" Fade asked Shinnie pointed at Francesca, who was still standing in front of the grave, and said, "Grandma wants some time alone with grandpa, and we, the younger generation will usually wait aside." "Ahh, that's how it is. Let's move aside then." Fade nodded, and then he left together with Shinnie. The others also spread out in the surrounding area, forming a circle with the grave in the center. Their formation also acted as a barrier to prevent anyone from interrupting Francesca Fade and Shinnie walked to the far side of the mountain and stood on a flat precipice, looking down at the foot of the mountain. All he saw were lush pine trees between them and the foot of the mountain. Beyond the trees, there was a small village. Smoke rose from the chimneys of the huts. There were children playing around the scarecrows in the fields. What a serene and peaceful scene. Unconsciously, it made Fade feel relaxed, and an inexplicable sense of comfort settled in his heart
