Chapter 961 Everyone froze in place as a wave of cheering spread through the crowd. "He won! Over a hundred million! That's ridiculous!" A member of the crowd cheered. *That was so exciting. They lost around one hundred million in just one round! Another man said, shaking his head. I thought my dad was a heavy gambler, but I didn't know there were actually people betting so huge in one round!" Exclaimed another "It's maddening Amidst the clamoring, Eden smiled and nodded to Fade, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your contribution!" As he spoke, Eden reached out for the chips on the table. However, as his hand reached over. Fade directly slapped his hand away. "Mr. Li, please check again, who is the winner?" Eden turned towards the dice, puzzled. Immediately, he was dumbfounded. The three dice were all fives, adding up to fifteen, big. "Wait, what's going on? Wasn't it small? Why is it big? Eden was puzzled, as he raised an eyebrow at Hiller inquiringly. Hiller was similarly stupefied. His mouth was agape, and he didn't know what to say. "This...l don't know either. "How could you not know? Aren't you Macatia's." Eden roared angrily However, Pedro coughed and cut him off, "Mr. Li!" Only then did Eden realize that he almost exposed them. However, he was still not pleased with the results. Meanwhile, Fade looked at Eden with a faint smile and said, "Mr. Li you bet on small. What's the matter? There are so many people watching at the scene. From the moment the cup was lifted, it was b What are you implying, Mr. Li?" Eden's expression sank. Of course, he would not admit it. He said indifferently, "Mr. Chen, you think too much. I was simply mistaken, that's all." "Is that so?" Fade did not pursue the matter any further. He reached out his hand and tapped on the table as he said to Eden, "In that case, Mr. Li, a loser should honor his bets. It's time to pay up. The words triggered Eden again, and he was on the verge of breaking down. He had an extremely gloomy face at the moment. Even though he was the richest in the Li family, he did not originate from the main branch of the family. To his name, he only had Mizzy Cosmetics, estimated to worth a little under five hundred million. Losing over a hundred million was definitely a big blow to him. In that instant, Eden was frozen in place, reluctant to pay Fade, Seeing this, Fade asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Li, you didn't bring enough money? In this case, I don't mind taking other assets as collateral. Of course, there'll be an interest. "You." Eden burst into rage. He pointed at Fade and shouted, "This doesn't count. You must have pulled something funny." Hearing this, Fade couldn't help narrowing his eyes as his expression became serious. He stared at Eden and said, "Mr. Li, are you not willing to pay up? Eden's expression changed. He remained silent for a bit before saying, "I'm not trying to get out of paying. It's just that I think you have done something to the game." He had made up his mind that he would not pay Fade a single cent As for Director Huang and the others, they quickly chimed in following Eden's lead. "Yeah you won every single game we played. How is that still a coincidence? You must have something up your sleeve." "Cheater. You're definitely a cheater. This definitely doesn't count" "Not just this game, but every game before that too. Return our money to us." All of them started clamoring, Seeing this, Fade couldn't help sneering and said, "So these are the bosses of Jade City? Don't gamble if you can't afford to lose. Now, you're being a sore loser. Do you think this is a children's game? Eden and the others looked downcast, and their expressions were sour However, they were willing to sacrifice their reputation for money. The few of them gritted their teeth and continued arguing "We're not going back on our word. We just don't want to lose to you, a cheater" "That's right. We would be willing to pay up if it was a fair game, but you must be cheating! You must be punished!" "Give us back our money!" Their shouting led other members of the audience to exert pressure on Fade "That's true. It's inconceivable that he could win six times in a row!" "He also won a ton of money. How can there be so much of a coincidence?" "He must be playing dirty. I don't believe anyone can be that lucky. "Haha, you people like to cheat." Faced with increasing suspicion and pressure, Nita and Lily were furious but helpless. They wanted to defend Fade but they did not know what to say. However, Fade stood up and bellowed, "Silence!" The whole crowd went silent. Eden looked towards Fade and felt an incredible pressure emanating from the man Gritting his teeth, he said, "Why are you shouting? However loud you become, you can't cover up the facts." I'm cheating?" Fade laughed icily. He stared at Eden and the executives, saying, "Do you really think that I didn't know that you were also cheating?" "You, what are you talking about? We didn't cheat!" Eden anxiously defended. Fade quietly grabbed the dice cup that they had been using and crushed it A small contraption appeared from inside the dice cup. Fade yelled, "You're the one who requested for this dice cup right? Now, would you mind telling me, what is this? Eden and Director Huang were downcast and at their wit's end, but they still defended themselves stubbornly. "We, we don't know what this is either. This is something provided by the cruise ship. It has nothing to do with us." "Are you still refusing to admit it?' Fade snorted. He gazed at Hiller and said sternly, "Then, I'll show you the truth!" As he spoke, Fade grabbed Hiller's right arm and pinned it down on the table. Then, a tiny knife appeared in Fade's hand which he slashed at Hiller's palm with "What are you doing? Let me go... Hiller was terrified at the situation. Eden and the others were also extremely anxious. Some of the womenfolk shut their eyes as they couldn't bear to watch any longer. However, Fade was even quicker. With the knife, he quickly cut a hole in Hiller's palm and picked out a brown wafer the size of a pea from within it.
Chapter 962 However, Fade didn't stop there. He took out the dice and smashed it on the table. Among the shattered pieces, there were three similar black wafers. As Fade brought the brown wafer closer to the black wafer pieces, they attached themselves to each other like magnets. "Mr. Li, please explain. What is the meaning of this?" Fade glared at Eden and questioned sternly. Everyone was dumbfounded. They stared at the wafers in disbelief and then at Eden Eden was under extreme pressure Sweat trickled down his forehead as he stuttered, "I, don't know what's going on either. This has nothing to do with me. "It's none of your business?" Fade snorted. "Hiller was here at your invitation, yet you say it's none of your business. Do you think I'll believe you?" "I, I didn't invite him. He was from the cruise ship and has nothing to do with me. Eden was still explaining. However, a deep voice rumbled from the crowd, "Mr. Li, I have records of all the casino staff and Hiller is not in the list." At the sound of the voice, everyone turned and saw that it was the owner of the cruise ship and organizer of the party, Cooper. Earlier, Eden claimed that Hiller was a staff member of the cruise ship, putting the blame on Cooper. Naturally, Cooper would jump to his own defense at this, Now that Cooper had shown himself, Eden did not dare to act rashly. He could only defend himself. "Well, it was a misunderstanding. Anyway, this Hiller has nothing to do with me." Eden was adamantly denying it. However, Fade had other ideas in mind, Fade held the knife on Hiller's arm and applied a light pressure. Fade said, "Tell me, who are you working for? Every time you lie, I'll cut off one of your fingers." Hiller stared into Fade's pupils and knew that he was not joking. Sweating profusely, he answered, "I'll talk, I'll talk. Please don't cut off my fingers." Hearing this, Eden snapped anxiously. "Hiller, choose your words carefully." Normally, Hiller would have been terrified of Eden, but in these circumstances, his fear of Fade was stronger. Shakily, he confessed, "Mr. Li invited me to the party so that I can use my skills to help him win more money. It was he who ordered me to cheat." As soon as he finished his confession, everyone's expressions changed dramatically Eden frantically denied, "You're defaming me. I didn't do it. You're slandering me. Hiller took out a recording pen from his chest pocket and said, "This is the conversation from when Mr. Li asked me to help him cheat. You can hear it. It's all arranged by him." The recording was played and Hiller appeared to be telling the truth. Suddenly, the whole room went silent. Everyone stared at Eden, disgusted, particularly the ones who had gambled with him previously. Eden was furious and upset. After all, he was a well-known person in Jade City. Losing money was not a big deal to him, but if he was found to be running a gambling scam, his reputation would be ruined. At that moment, everyone was glaring at Eden. Fade stared at Eden and said Icily, "Mr. Li, do you have anything else to say now?" Eden was as pale as a ghost. He knew that there was no use defending himself, so he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Since I'm caught red-handed, I have nothing to say. However, I won't let you do anything to me." Eden shamelessly looked at Fade with his arms crossed. It was obvious that he was going to go back on his word. Fade stared at Eden frostily, "Do you mean that you are not going to honor your bet?" Eden said, "No What can you do about it?" "How confident of you!" Fade laughed. "Do you really think I won't do anything to you?" Eden looked at Fade and said, "I'm from the Li family. If you dare touch me, the Li family will not let you go.'! Fade frowned and waved his hand, saying, "I've heard this too many times. Your son, your nephew, and even Sasha said the exact same thing. However, it was all useless." After that, Fade pinned Eden's hand on the table. The sharp blade cut into his fingers. He asked coldly, "Are you still reluctant to pay up?" "L... Eden was trembling, but he was still reluctant to admit it, "You, you wouldn't dare, I am from the Li family.. However, before he could finish, Fade applied pressure on the blade, severing Eden's thumb Subsequently, he positioned the blade on Eden's ring finger and asked, "Shall we continue? Veins bulged on Eden's forehead from the pain. He looked at Fade lividly and shouted, "You! How dare you... Without waiting for him to finish, Fade severed the next finger. Blood spurted from the severed digit as Eden almost fainted from the overwhelming pain. "Willing to pay up yet?" Fade asked indifferently At that moment, Eden was truly terrified. He nodded quickly and said, "I'll pay up, I'll pay!" "Give me the money!" Fade shouted, Eden handed out all his chips saying, "Here, it's all yours." Fade glanced at him and said, "I believe this isn't enough? Eden's face tensed up and he said, "There's around twenty million there. I don't have that much cash on me." "Only twenty million? What about the remaining hundred million?" Fade sneered disdainfully. "In lieu of money, you should sign an IoU: Fade motioned, and Lily handed him a pen and a piece of paper. Eden didn't dare to refuse. He could only nod. "I'll do it, I'll do it!" However, his right hand was missing two fingers. I would be impossible for him to hold a pen, let along sign an IOU. In the end, Lily wrote up the slip, and Eden put his fingerprint on the IOU in his own blood. Immediately, Fade put the slip away and let go of Eden. He said indifferently, "Get out of here!" Eden ran off, enduring the pain as Director Huang and the others followed behind him. Hiller was also taken away by Cooper's men With a smile on his face, Fade turned and left with Lily and Nita
Chapter 963 When everyone saw Fade, they unconsciously took a few steps backwards, it was as if they were afraid of provoking him. The casino, which was originally very lively, suddenly became dead silent. It seemed that everyone was not interested in gambling anymore Fade, Lily, and Nita went back to a small room and chatted while eating, With a touch of apology on her face, Nita said to Fade, "Fade, I originally wanted to let Sister Lily and the leaders in the cosmetics industry get to know each other, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen. I'm really sorry." Fade quickly waved his hand and said, "Nita, this has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself. Besides, I had a conflict with the Li family before, so the Li family would also find ways to get back at me even without this gambling matter." Lily also comforted her, "Nita, Fade is telling the truth. Besides, if it wasn't for this bet, we wouldn't have won so much!" Her words made Nita feel much more relieved. Meanwhile, her attention was involuntarily diverted to Fade. She stared at him with curiosity and said, "Fade, you won six times consecutively just now. Was that all luck?" Upon hearing that, Fade laughed out loud and said, "How is that possible? No matter how lucky I am, it is impossible for me to win so many times in a row." "So, do you mean that you really cheated?" With a surprised look, Nita's eyes widened, she looked at Fade with an inquiring expression. Fade smiled and said, "I practically didn't "cheat", I just used my abilities to my advantage." "Advantage, what advantage? Can you show me?' Nita asked curiously Fade stared at Nita and smiled. He then picked out three pieces of ice from the bucket on the table, and then placed them on a plate. Then, Fade said to Nita, "Alright, observe closely." Nita nodded and stared at the plate intensely, she looked very serious. Meanwhile, Fade tapped on the table gently. Suddenly, the plate shook slightly, and the ice on the plate toppled over. When Nita saw that, she was so surprised that she clapped her hands immediately and cried out, "It's really amazing." "Fade, how did you do it? This is too incredible." Nita stared at Fade and said with a burning look in her eyes That time, Fade deliberately made his action more obvious by patting the table with his palm. The ice on the plate directly jumped up and toppled over in mid air, and then fell onto the plate "It's just that simple? By patting?" Nita was in disbelief, she was dumbfounded. Then she also patted on the table, trying to imitate him However, nothing happened. Instead, she felt a sharp pain in her palm and her mouth began to twitch. Upon seeing that, Fade and Lily burst out in laughter "Is it because I tapped it at the wrong angle? I'll try again!" Nita was still determined. Lily reached out and stopped her. "Nita, don't try anymore Ordinary people like us can't do it." So why can Fade do it?" Nita asked in confusion Lily replied, "He's a martial artist, someone who has cultivated positive energy. He's far more powerful than us." Although Nita did not know much about cultivation, she still knew that martial artists were not ordinary people. Then, she stared at Fade in a daze and sighed, "Fade, it seems that I have underestimated you. You are not only the boss of a company and an excellent doctor but also a martial artist." Then, Nita pestered Fade and asked him to teach her something. Thus, Fade could only teach her some simple moves, and Nita practiced seriously Concurrently, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and then Cooper's voice echoed through the door, "Mr. Chen, are you in there?" "I'm here!" Fade responded and Lily went to the door Cooper bowed slightly before walking in. With a smile on his face, he first apologized to them, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry about what happened just now. It's my fault that this happened. "It happened because Eden planned it a long time ago. It has nothing to do with you, Cooper." Fade waved his hand and then asked, "Why did you come here? Cooper handed over three small golden cards and said, "Mr. Chen, in half an hour, there will be a small auction at the top floor of our cruise ship. The participants will be all the big shots on the cruise ship." "By then, there will be a lot of precious things listed for auction Mr. Chen, if you are interested, you can go and have a look." "An auction?" Fade was a little interested in it and he continued after retrieving the cards, "What kind of things will be auctioned?" Cooper replied, Famous calligraphy paintings, antique vases, sometimes there will be some rare martial artists' cultivation methods, weapons, herbs, and even magic tools. It mainly depends on whether there is anyone willing to auction it." "Mr. Chen, if there's anything you'd like to auction, you can go on the stage and auction it at that time." Hearing that, Fade became a little interested. After all, there were also going to be auctions of medicinal herbs. He might find what he was looking for there. Therefore, Fade nodded and said, "Thank you, Copper. We will be there." "Then I won't disturb you anymore. Cooper bowed and left. Fifteen minutes later, the three of them left the room and headed to the top floor of the cruise ship, ready to participate in the auction After verifying the golden card at the entrance, the three walked in. The top floor was not huge. There were only about a hundred seats and a small exhibition table in the middle. However, the interior design was very exquisite. Moreover, they saw many people in the auction that were well-dressed. It was obvious that they were all the big shots of Jade City Everyone who attended the auction seemed to know each other. They greeted each other along the way, which made the atmosphere quite lively. As a result, when Fade entered with Nita and Lily, it made everyone a little surprised, and the originally lively atmosphere quietened down in an instant. After all, Fade's conflict with Eden in the casino was quite a big spectacle. Nonetheless, compared to those big shots in Jade City, Fade was definitely not considered a local. Therefore, no one came to greet him,
Chapter 964 Fade didn't care about how other people looked at him. He headed directly to his seat and sat down with Lily and Nita As soon as they sat down, everyone was surprised. It was due to the fact that their seats were in the very first row. It was well known that those seats were usually reserved for VIPs, and it turned out that Fade, an outsider, was in the VIP's seat. Quite a number of people in the crowd frowned upon seeing that. Some people even went and complained to Cooper However, how could Cooper entertain those people's requests after knowing Fade's real identity? He said forcefully, "The seats have been arranged and it can't be changed anymore. If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to leave the auction at any time." Everyone was even more surprised upon hearing Cooper's reply. Calvin, who was sitting a row behind Fade, was one of them As the young master of the Chiang family, Calvin's status in Jade City was constantly at the top. Even though he was only in his twenties, he was already sitting in the second row with the other big shots so it could be seen that he was the real deal, As a result, he could not accept the fact that Fade, who was younger than him, was sitting in the row in front of him. Calvin became gloomy and furious upon comparing himself to Fade and thinking of Fade's conflict from before. However, at that time, Fade didn't notice that Calvin was behind him at all. Instead, he was having fun chatting away with Lily and Nita. Seeing him like that, Calvin was even more enraged. After all, he was sitting next to two middle-aged, bald and fat men, while Fade was sitting next to two gorgeous women. He got jealous when he compared his situation to Fade's At that moment, the auction began. Cooper went up to the stage and briefly explained the rules and regulations of the auction. After that, a professional auctioneer went on the stage and the auction officially began The first auction of the day was a painting from the Qing dynasty, which was very well-preserved. Quite a number of people took a liking to the painting, and they were willing to bid for it. After an intense bidding session, a big shot in the antique industry bought the painting for three million The following auctions were about things like calligraphy, pottery, and jade jewelry. Although they were considered quite precious and rare, Fade was not interested in them at all. Hence, he did not participate in the bidding. One by one, the items were being auctioned. Along the way, some people went on the stage to auction their own collections, which made the atmosphere quite lively However, all of that had nothing to do with Fade. He didn't raise his hand to bid at all. Just as Fade shook his head in disappointment, the next item was placed on the table, which made Fade's eyes lit up. It was a withered yellow herb that looked like the of a tree; it looked very inconspicuous. Some people even started to whisper and gossip when they saw that item being put up for auction. "What's this? A piece of tree root? How could this be on the auction? What a joke." "Whose item is this? Who would even want to buy this kind of stuff? Such a waste of money" "Haha, who would want something like this? No one is going to bid for it, let's just move on to the next item." " Hearing their disdainful words, Fade smirked and whispered to himself. "A group of idiots. They don't even know what the Dragon Root is, yet they still dared to talk nonsense." That Dragon Root was an Earth Level herb, and it was worth at least ten million, More importantly, if that Dragon Root was combined with the Fire Blame Plant, it would increase the effectiveness of the Fire Blame Plant. It would become more effective in healing Quin's disease that was caused by the Ice Lotus. Therefore, as soon as the Dragon Root was placed for auction, Fade decided to bid for it. Meanwhile, the auctioneer on the stage also introduced the Dragon Root to the people, saying: "This is a precious herb called the Dragon Root. It has the effect of reducing the heat in our body, and also nourishes the organs. It can be made into tea or used to make soup. It can be said to be said that this is one of the best herbs for nurturing your body. This Dragon Root..." Upon hearing that, Fade couldn't help but let out a smile as he thought to himself, "It looks like the owner of this Dragon Root is unaware of how valuable it is. The Dragon Root is an Earth Level item but they judged it as a Black Level item. This would cost them several hundreds of millions." "Since they don't know how precious this item is, I can buy it at a low price." Fade grinned. Meanwhile, many people were already getting impatient. They couldn't help but shout at the auctioneer, "Isn't it just some nourishing herb? There's no need to introduce it. Just start the bidding!" The auctioneer's face changed slightly and a strange look flashed across his face. However, he immediately recovered his posture and said, "The base price for this Dragon Root is one million. Each bid will the price by ten thousand. The bidding will begin right now." "One million for an earth-grade herb, it's totally a steal" Fade whispered under his breath and was about to raise his hand to bid for it. However, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward at that moment, That was because not a single person bid for it after the auctioneer announced the lowest bid. Compared to the previous items, the atmosphere then was very cold. Seeing that, Fade suppressed his urge and deliberately waited for a while. He only bid when the auctioneer began to ask about it. When the auctioneer saw that someone had finally bid for it, his face lit up, and he said: "Number one buyer, bid one million. One million, is there a higher price? This is the Dragon Root. Black Level herbs are extremely rare... After a round of introductions, a slightly older elder who was sitting in a corner raised his card and said, "One point one million. Finally, someone bid for it. The auctioneer couldn't help but be overjoyed, he asked, "The 95th buyer bid it for one point one million. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher? As he spoke, the auctioneer's gaze turned towards Fade. It was obvious that there were only two people bidding for that herb. Fade initially wanted to buy the herb with the base price, but he didn't expect that someone would actually bid for that herb. However, he didn't care about that meager amount of money, he didn't hesitate and raised the bid immediately. "One point two million." "One point two million, number one buyer bids for one point two million. Is there anyone willing to bid a higher price?" The auctioneer looked towards the elder The elder hesitated a little, then continued to bid, "One point three million." That time, before the auctioneer asked, Fade bid directly, "One point four million." The elder's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment, and a trickle of sweat ran down his forehead. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "One point five million!"
Chapter 965 Their bidding surprised everyone. Everyone stared at Fade and the elderly man with a puzzled look. After all, in their opinion, that herb was really not worth much. That so-called nutritious herb could be easily replaced by some supplement; it was a useless herb. However, when they saw the two people who were bidding intensely, their expressions changed. Needless to say, Fade did not know who the elder was but that man knew very clearly who Fade was. The elder's name was Otto Pai. He was an old, well-known Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Jade City. In the last two decades, he was quite famous in Jade City, but in recent years, due to the rise of popularity of western medicine, he gradually lost his reputation and popularity. Seeing Otto bidding for that herb, everyone whispered to themselves, "Is this herb really valuable? Otherwise, why would a well-known Chinese Medicine Practitioner like Otto be willing to bid so much for it?" Thinking of that a lot of the big shot became excited and bid for it. "One point five-five million!" "One point six million!" "One point six-two million! "One point seventy million!" Finally, after a bunch of bidding, a merchant bid it for one point seven million. Compared to the one point five million yuan from before, it was two hundred thousand yuan more. However, after the bid reached one point seven million, everyone stopped bidding for it. After all, everyone bid for it because they saw that Otto was bidding for it. No one was sure about the effect of that herb. Therefore, naturally, they would not continue to bid. However, Fade, who had been bidding all that while, was a little surprised when he saw the situation, He didn't expect Otto to raise the bid. After being in a daze for a while, Fade didn't continue to think much about it and bid again, "Two million." The real value of that Dragon Root was at least twenty million yuan. Never mind two million yuan, Fade wouldn't hesitate to buy it for twenty million yuan. Therefore, at that moment, Fade did not care about the prize anymore and raised the bid. Right then, the price was raised to two million yuan, which shocked everyone Otto's face darkened and there was a wave of hesitation on his face. He gritted his teeth and finally, he raised his trembling hand and said, "Two point two million. Otto increased the bid by two hundred thousand which really shocked everyone. After all, everyone knew Otto quite well, and his "Otto Clinic' was also a well known clinic in Jade City. However, Otto Clinic had been operating at a low price for many years, and Otto often gives free treatments to the poor. Therefore, Otto didn't have much profit over the years. His wealth couldn't be compared to the other big shots there. Otto gritted his teeth and offered a price of two point two million, which made everyone mutter in their hearts. They were all guessing how valuable the Dragon Root herb was, At that moment, Fade also turned around and stared at Otto. He cupped his hands to him and said, "Master Pal, I'm sorry, but I'm determined to get this herb." After that, Fade directly bid three million. At that point, Otto looked disappointed. He then shook his head, and sat down, It was apparent that he could not continue to bid for a higher price. Meanwhile, everyone on the spot started to think. Some people had already gathered around Otto and began to ask him questions. "Master Pai, is this Dragon Root a precious thing? How much do you think this is worth?" "Otto, tell me the value of the Dragon Root. I can lend you some money to bid for it. *** Otto understood what they were thinking about. He shook his head and said, "I can't break the rules!" Then, Otto closed his eyes and shut his mouth. Meanwhile, everyone had no choice but to be puzzled. Looking back and forth at the Dragon Root and Fade, they hesitated. They seemed to be considering whether they should bid for that herb. At that moment, Fade reminded the auctioneer to continue. The auctioneer continued the auction. Many people had their own assumptions, but they didn't raise their cards to bid. After all, no one could be sure if the Dragon Root was really worth the money or not. They couldn't just throw away a few million just because of an assumption In such a situation, the auctioneer picked up the little wooden hammer and was ready to announce the result of the auction. "Three million, the third time, the final result is..! However, just as the auctioneer was about to set the value, Calvin, who was sitting behind Fade, suddenly raised his sign to bid, "Three point five million. As soon as he said it everyone looked over and was stunned. Fade also turned his head; he found that it was Calvin who was bidding Such expressions made Calvin feel delighted. He looked at Fade and said in a low voice, "Don't you want the Dragon Root? I won't let you get what you want" Hearing that, Fade frowned and paused for a moment, he then stared at Calvin and said, "Really? Then let's continue. After that, Fade raised his card. "Four million! The price was once again raised by five hundred thousand, surprising everyone again. Calvin frowned and looked at Fade with a serious expression. He was hesitating to continue the bid. Seeing that, Fade sneered and said, "What's wrong with you. Young Master Chiang? Didn't you say that you won't let me get what I want? What's wrong? You're quitting after only bidding once? I'm not satisfied yet." His words immediately set Calvin off. He almost instinctively wanted to raise his hand to bid. However, at the last moment whe he was about to Calvin saw a smile flashing across the corner of Fade's mouth. He was shocked and he lowered his card immediately. At the same time, he looked at Fade and thought quickly "On the surface, Fade seems to be determined to win the Dragon Root and it looks like he wants to compete with me to the end. originally wanted to raise the price on purpose to let him spend more money" "However, he just said that he is determined to get the Dragon Root. If he is really determined to get it, why did he announce it publicly? Didn't he just tell others what he is thinking and let others bid constantly to raise the final price of the auction? Such a result will only be harmful to those who are really determined to get it." "Hence, Fade is not determined to obtain this Dragon Root at all. Moreover, he deliberately insulted me just now and provoked me to bid again. This proves that what I was thinking just now was in fact true. He was simply pretending to be determined to win. Instead, he wanted to make use of this opportunity to provoke me and make me raise the price. After that, he would probably stop bidding and let me purchase trash at a high price." "Fade is such a cunning person. I almost fell for his trap." Thinking those thoughts, Calvin couldn't help realizing something. He said to Fade while smiling, "I have already seen through your tricks. It's not so easy to trick me." "Since you want the Dragon Root, then I'll let you have it Calvin waved his hand to Fade, and then put down his number card. He then said sarcastically. "Mr. Chen, you really are generous to spend 4 million yuan to buy a root. I really can't be compared to you! Haha!" Calvin's attitude made other people who originally had the thought of bidding give up, and the limelight was on Fade.
Chapter 966 Fade didn't say anything He just shut his mouth and sat quietly on the spot. At that moment, the auctioneer on the stage saw that no one else was willing to continue bidding. Thus, he slammed the gavel against the table and announced: "Four million, sold." Immediately, the staff sent the Dragon Root to Fade, and he signed the necessary document for purchasing the herb. Behind him, Calvin saw that scene, and he did not let it go. He continued to mock him, "A four million yuan tree branch, what a good thing it is! I would like to see how many cosmetics you have to sell in order to get that money back." Meanwhile, other people around stared at Fade mockingly. Their gazes seemed to be saying that only a fool would be dumb enough to spend four million yuan on a useless root. In the face of Calvin's ridicule, Fade didn't say much. He just snorted with disdain and said, "You're the one who is a fool! "You." Upon hearing that, Calvin became furious, but then he sneered and said, "Haha, President Chen, please don't vent your anger on us when you wasted your money like that!" Fade didn't bother to reply to him. Instead, Otto staggered to Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, can you sell me half of this herb?" "Sell half of it to you?" Fade was a little dumbfounded and he stared at Otto in surprise and said. Otto said in a panic, "Just a quarter will do. I'm willing to pay. Two million. I'm willing to pay even three million." Hearing those words, the people around them were surprised. Especially Calvin and the others, they were puzzled at the moment. After all, Fade only spent four million yuan to buy the Dinor Root. However, right then, Otto was willing to spend three million yuan to buy only a quarter of the Dinor Root, which meant that that herb was worth more than 10 million yuan. All of a sudden, there was a burst of discussion in the auction hall. Calvin said, "Master Pal, are you confused? Three million yuan for a quarter, won't you suffer a big loss? "Yeah, Master Pai, if you want this herb, I can ask someone to help you look for it. You don't have to spend your money like this. "Master Pai, don't be fooled by this kid. This Dinor Root isn't worth that much money" Hearing the surrounding conversations, Otto's gaze swept through the crowd, he then clasped his hands together, bowed to them, and said aloud, "I understand that you're all trying to help, but this herb is very rare! Calvin said in confusion, "Master Pal, I'm afraid you're mistaken. Even if the Dinor Root, a Black Level herb, is rare, It's not that hard to find! At the very worst, I'll help you find it later. You can buy it from me. It's still better than buying it from that brat!" Everyone in the auction hall agreed with Calvin. "Yes, Master Pai, stop acting like a fool." "Master Pai, please don't be fooled." They stared at Fade with fierce eyes and warned him. "Mr. Chen, Master Pal is a good man from Jade City. Don't you take advantage of him and cheat his money." "If you dare to act recklessly, we will never let you go." "Boy, know what's good for you, take the initiative to sell the herb to Master Pai. The clamoring made Fade frown Meanwhile, Otto quickly waved his hand and explained anxiously, "Everyone, stop talking Mr. Chen didn't mean to lie to me. I'm the one that wanted to take advantage of him. I was in the wrong!" Upon hearing his words, everyone was puzzled. "Master Pai, this guy is too much. We know you're a kind person, but you still shouldn't help him." Concurrently, Otto let out a deep sigh and said, "It's not what you think. The herb that Mr. Chen bought is not the Dinor Root: "If that's not the Dinor Root then what is it?" Everyone asked in confusion. Otto said, "This is a herb called Dragon Root. This herb belongs to the same species as the Dinor Root, but its nature and grade are different. The Dinor Root is a Black Level herb, and its value is about one million yuan. However, the Dragon Root is an Earth Level herb, and its starting value is more than twenty million yuan." *That is why I would like to buy a small part of Mr. Chen's Dragon Root. In fact, I'm the one who is trying to take advantage of Mr. Chen. Everyone misunderstood him. As soon as Otto said that, everyone was surprised No one had expected that the value of that million dollar herb would instantly increase by twenty times in the blink of an eye. Fade had bought it for four million yuan. Originally, they thought that he was a fool, but they didn't expect that he had a keen eye and actually made such a huge profit. For a moment, everyone changed how they perceived Fade. This was particularly so for Calvin. It was hard to tell what kind of expression was in his eyes at that moment. Just then, when he competed with Fade in the bidding, he was presumptuous and thought that Fade was tricking him, so he did not continue. However, he did not expect that Fade wanted that herb for real and even made a big fortune out of it. Calvin felt aggrieved in his heart. Meanwhile, he stared at Otto furiously and asked in an unkind tone, "Master Pai, since you know that this herb is not the Dinor Root, why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier?" What Calvin said was very rude, Otto's face became dark, but he was a kind man. He explained immediately. "Rules are rules. I can't hurt others for my own sake. After all, in this auction venue, it's a bit similar to picking up the leftovers. Whether you can get something good out of it depends on your personal judgment. After Otto finished speaking, everyone around him nodded immediately and the way they looked at Calvin changed. Calvin also came to his senses at that moment. He knew that what he had just said was a bit harsh. He coughed and changed the subject, "Master Pai, why do you urgently need the Dragon Root? Did anything happen?" When he asked that question, Otto couldn't help but let out a deep sigh and said, "I need the Dragon Root to treat my son. "To treat your son? " Everyone was shocked, "Damian fell sick? No wonder we haven't seen him in a very long time. Even the Otto Clinic has closed its doors." "Damian is ill. Master Pai, have you taken him to the hospital to treat his illness? "Master Pai, you're a famous doctor yourself. Are you really not able to treat him?" There was sadness in Otto's eyes as he said, "Damian's condition is a bit complicated. We have been to every single hospital, but none of them seem to be able to help. Although I can give him a prescription, it is very difficult to collect the herbs needed." 1 spent a few months collecting the herbs needed and I've pretty much collected all of them, except for the Dragon Root." "You only need the Dragon Root! That's why you." Everyone suddenly remembered that Otto had bid for the Dragon Root very seriously.
Chapter 967 For a moment, everyone became sympathetic, and they turned their eyes to Fade. Although they were silent, Fade still understood what their gazes meant. It was as if they were saying, "Fade, you are a young man. How shameless you are to compete with Master Pai. After all, Master Pai needs the herb to cure his son. Some soft-hearted women stared at Fade with bright eyes, as if they would not give up until he sold the Dragon Root to Otto. In such a situation, Fade frowned. It was not that he didn't want to help Otto, but the attitude of those people was really too much. It was due to the fact that Otto was a kind person, and he helped them a lot in the past. Therefore, right then, as Otto was in trouble, they had to help Otto to return the favor. Those kinds of people who tried to take advantage of other people disgusted Fade. In addition, there was not much Dragon Root to spare. Moreover, Fade was going to use it on his wife, Quin. Therefore, Fade wouldn't even be willing to sell a quarter of it to Otto. Fade's hesitant expression made those people even more indignant at that moment. One by one, they stared at Fade furiously Calvin was so happy when he saw that Fade was reluctant to sell a small part of the Dragon Root to Otto. He began to satirize him, "President Chen you are such a calm person. You can still manage to control yourself at such a time. No wonder you are so successful in business. We businessmen can't compare with your cold bloodedness." As soon as he finished his words, everyone immediately nodded and agreed. "Mr. Chen, Master Pal is a wonderful person from Jade City. You can even say that he is the last old Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Are you not willing to help him? This is a matter of life and death. Mr. Chen, are you really so cruel?" "Forget it, we won't force him. Let's raise money together and buy this Dragon Root for Otto. I'm willing to pay a million!" "I will also pay a million yuan. Isn't it just 20 million yuan. Let's pool some money together. It would absolutely be enough" The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, it was as if that was a glorious and grand gathering. They seemed to be acting like the heroes in a game, and they were all trying to defeat the villain who was Fade. In such a situation, Fade could not help but look dignified. He said indifferently, "I won't sell it even if you are willing to pay me forty million yuan." As soon as Fade said that, everyone became even more agitated. They glared at Fade and criticized him. "You, you've gone too far. You know that Master Pai needs the Dragon Root to save his son, but still, you don't want to sell it to him. You are just trying to raise the price." "Do you really want to earn money from something like this? How can you be so shameless?" "What a cold blooded merchant! At times like this, the first thing in your mind was not to save people but to earn money!" Some of them even took out their mobile phones and threatened Fade directly "When I bought the Fei Magic Toner from Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, I didn't expect the owner of that company to be so cruel. I'm going to call a press conference to expose this matter to the public and let all the people in Jade City boycott Fei Magic Toner." "Me too. Such a cold and heartless businessman shouldn't have appeared in Jade City. We must drive him away!" "I'm ashamed to even see such a person. A group of people started to scold Fade, forcing him into a corner. Such a situation made Calvin extremely delighted. With a smile on his face, he was ready to contact the reporters and arrange a press conference to expose him. As for Otto, when he saw was going on, he was completely dumbfounded. After all, he just wanted to save his son, but he did not expect that things would take such a drastic turn. Facing the crowd, Otto hurriedly explained, "No, don't do this. I know that you are all doing this out of good intention, but Mr. Chen is innocent. You can't force him..." However, at that moment, the crowd did not listen to Otto's words at all. In other words, at that moment, the excitement in their hearts was not only because they wanted to help Otto, but it was probably from the fact that they wanted the satisfaction of being a helpful person In that situation, Otto was speechless. He stared at Fade and apologized, "Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry. I, I didn't expect things to take a turn like this. ." Otto still wanted to apologize, but he was pulled back by those so called "just" people, Fade understood Otto's intention and gave him a look that indicated he understood what he meant. Then, he looked at the crowd and snorted coldly, "You are all such just, helpful people. You are all claiming that you are helping others, but now you are forcing other people. Is this the so-called "justice"? It's ridiculous." As soon as those words were spoken, a group of people immediately retorted. "Fade, you are the cold-blooded one here. What are you quibbling about?" "Just earn a little less and let Master Pai buy the Dragon Root to save his son's life. It is a simple thing, but you're not even willing to do that." "Sure enough, for a businessman like you, money is more important than human life." "That's right. This kind of person would rather hold on to the herb and let it rot in his own hands than sell it at a low price to save people." Faced with their insults, Fade shouted loudly, "How can you say that I think that money is more important than a human life? And how can you say that this herb is useless to me? Who told you this?" That question made everyone pause for a moment, and they were speechless. However, Calvin immediately said, "Fade, even if you say so much, the outcome is still the same. Stop making excuses." "An excuse?" Fade sneered. Then he glared at Calvin and snapped, hat do you know? You don't know anything. You're just satisfying yourselves and acting as a just person to judge others." "You." Calvin wanted to refute. However, Fade did not give him a chance to refute at all. He glared at the crowd directly and said coldly, "You are all doing this to satisfy your own needs by being "just" and helping Otto, but do you all know why I bought this herb? Do you know that my wife is ill and also needs this herb to cure her illness?" "You guys don't know anything and arrogantly judged me as a gold digger and said that I am willing to sacrifice a human life for money. How dare you criticize me? You know nothing, but you are still ridiculing and judging other people. Is this your so-called "justice"?" Fade's questions made the whole crowd speechless. "He also wants to use that herb to save a human life?" "I can't believe that there would be such a thing. What a coincidence." "It's not because of money that he isn't willing to sell the herb."
Chapter 968 The auction hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone seemed to be confused. However, at that moment, Calvin still said, "Fade, stop making excuses. How can there be such a coincidence? When we said that Master Pal wanted to use it to save a life, you also said that you are using it to save a life too. That's such a lazy excuse. Please make up a better one next time." After hearing Calvin's words, many people immediately showed doubts and fixed their eyes on Fade. Fade became even darker. He stared at Calvin coldly and said indifferently. "Don't speculate about me. You don't have the right to!" "You." Calvin was furious. He almost couldn't help but rush over to start a fight, but when he was stared at by Fade's cold eyes, he suddenly did not have the guts to do it Meanwhile, Nita, who couldn't stand it anymore, went up and explained to everyone, ". Nita, promise that what Fade said just now is true. I've seen Fade's wife in person. She is indeed ill." Lily also explained, "President Chen's wife is the chairman of our company, Quin Lin, also known as President Lin. Some time ago, President Lin and I went to meet with a lot of businessmen in Jade City. Later on, President Lin suddenly fell ill. We even went to several hospitals. Someone here should know of this matter. Upon hearing Lily's words, the people who came into contact with Lily before suddenly recalled and nodded, "Oh, so President Chen's wife is President Lin? I've seen her before." I was wondering why President Lin was absent all this time. It turns out that she is ill!" "I know that President Lin went to several hospitals." Quite a few people spoke up and were almost certain that Fade's words were true. Therefore, Calvin's malicious speculations were dispelled Fade glared at Calvin coldly and said in a low voice, "Now, do you have anything else to say? II. Calvin felt embarrassed and couldn't think of any better excuses at the moment. He could only say, "Even if you say so much, it's still the same. You are still unwilling to lend a helping hand. You are a cold-blooded person Hearing that, Fade snorted coldly and said, "Haha, I'm cold-blooded indeed. Young Master Chiang you're indeed strict with others, and easy on yourself!" "Then let me ask if right now. If it's your father, Leslie Chiang, who fell ill, will you be willing to give out his cure to treat other patients?" This question made Calvin speechless, so he could only retort forcefully, "Your assumptions are unreasonable. The fact is that you are not willing to help Master Pai. No matter what you say, it can't be covered up." "But when did I say that I don't want to help Master Pai?" Fade asked directly Calvin said, "Fade, don't you think your words are a little contradictory? Just now you said that you won't be selling the herb, but now you say that you will help Master Pai. Don't you think it's funny?" "What's so funny!" Fade said indifferently, "What I meant was that I'm not willing to use this kind of arrogant and self-appreciating way to help others out" "Then how are you planning to help Master Pai? With your mouth?" Calvin mocked him "I am not you." Fade replied immediately, then he walked up to Otto and said, "Master Pal, I am also a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. What's the condition of your son's illness and the prescription you wrote? Can you tell me about it?' "Ah, this." Otto replied; it was obvious that he was a little surprised. Nita went to support Fade immediately, "Master Pai, Fade really is a doctor. My mother's illness couldn't be cured even when we went to several hospitals, but Fade was able to cure my mother." Hearing what she said, Master Pai was immediately persuaded by her words, Then he gave Fade a detailed description of his son's condition and wrote down the prescription he gave on the spot. Otto was a professional Chinese medicine practitioner who was very experienced. His description of the symptoms and his diagnosis were very detailed, which helped Fade's judgment greatly. After looking at the prescription Fade could already make a rough assumption on Damian's illness. Fade picked up the pen and wrote a prescription with a smile on his face. Fade handed the prescription to Otto and explained, "Master Pai, your son's condition can also be cured with this prescription. The medicinal herbs in this prescription are more commonly found. It doesn't need the Dragon Root and it should be easy to collect all of them." Otto took over the prescription and looked at it carefully. He also murmured, "Main herb and auxiliary herb, this prescription, main herb...! After murmuring to himself, Otto calculated the effectiveness of the prescription himself. Then he exclaimed with delight, "This really works: "Dr. Chen, this prescription really can cure my son's illness. Moreover, the effect of this prescription is much better than my prescription. It's too ingenious. Why didn't I think of it before?" Otto said in surprise He put away the prescription and bowed to Fade while saying, "Thank you so much, Dr. Chen. Thank you so much. I'm really at a loss for words." Fade helped Otto up and said, "Master Pai, you don't have to bow to me like this. Your son's condition is of the utmost priority." Otto immediately clapped his hands and said, "Thank you, Dr. Chen. I will go back now and treat my son." Hearing that, Cooper hurriedly told the servant, "Quickly, go and prepare Master Pai's speedboat! Fade also said, "Master Pai, if you have any other questions, you can come to me again." "Sure. Thank you, Dr. Chen." Otto thanked him again and then left the auction hall. With Otto's departure, the clamoring finally settled down. That result made the people who previously accused Fade feel a little awkward. Among them, the most awkward one was Calvin Some people even stepped forward and apologized to Fade in an instant. Others pretended as if nothing had happened before. As for Calvin, he returned to his seat with a long face and he didn't look like he wanted to apologize at all. Fade also didn't give a dtmn about him. He only snorted and went back to his seat Meanwhile, Cooper stood up and auction not over yet. There are still several items to be auctioned. Among them, there is one wonderful thing. Don't miss it!" Hearing that, everyone's interest was piqued. Then, the auction continued. The next few items were indeed exquisite. The final price of each bidding exceeded ten million. After an intense bidding session, each of the items went to their new owners. It was only Fade who did not have much interest in those things, so he did not participate in the bidding Then, it came to the last item for auction, When it was the time to reveal the last time, it was not brought out by a staff member. Instead, it was brought out by a handsome young man who was dressed in a silk robe. He came out with a wide smile on his face, and brought the item out confidently.
Chapter 969 When the man appeared on stage, everyone started cheering even though the item wasn't even announced. "It's Young Master Chiu. The last item of the auction is Young Master Chiu's item. "Young Master Chiu's item must be extremely precious!" "It's a once a lifetime opportunity for this to happen. This time, even if we're going bankrupt, we must get our hands on Young Master Chiu's item! "Young Master Chiu, what exactly are you auctioning?" Everyone became very enthusiastic all of a sudden. Seeing that, Fade was a little surprised, so he asked, "Who is this Young Master Chiu? Is he famous or something?" Nita leaned towards Fade gently and said softly, "Young Master Chiu's real name is Brayden Chiu. He is a martial artist and one of the best among his generation. I heard that he has the strength of a middle stage Black Level" "Middle stage Black Level, not bad. Fade nodded gently, "However, just a middle stage Black Level martial artist isn't enough for these big shots to go crazy, is it?" After all, some big shots could even spend money to hire middle stage Black Level martial artists as their bodyguards. Nita continued to explain. "If It's Brayden himself, he naturally wouldn't have so much influence. It's mainly because of Brayden's master, Titan Chiu. "Around 50 years ago, Titan came to Jade City. Relying solely on his martial arts, he established his own martial arts center on Sunset Mountain, called Titan Studio "Titan Studio has cultivated and recruited many martial artists in Jade City since it's founding. Some of these martial artists had gone on to become bodyguards of big shots, while others joined society and built up their reputations." "Anyway, for so many years, solely relying on Titan Studio, Titan established a good network in Jade City. Almost all the big shots have a good connection with him. Around seventy percent of the martial artists in Jade City are Titan's disciples. He has gained the reputation of the "Martial Soul of Jade City" "The Martial Soul of Jade City!" Hearing that nickname Fade couldn't help but ask, "What stage is Titan in? Is he very powerful?" Nita said, "After Titan Studio became powerful, Titan rarely fought in the past ten years. Therefore, only a few people know his real strength. The last rumor of him was from eight years ago, and it is said that he reached the early stage of Earth Level." "Eight years ago, he was at the early stage of Earth Level. If he worked hard in his cultivation, he should be at the middle stage of Earth level right now." Fade thought, but he didn't take Titan's title "Martial Soul of Jade City" seriously. Looking at Brayden on the stage, Nita said, "This is Brayden. He was the last disciple whom Titan accepted when he was in his late 70s." "It can be said that Titan loved Brayden and he taught him everything; he even used all his resources for him. Thus, at the age of just over twenty, Brayden was able to reach the Middle stage of the Black Level. He's quite impressive." "However, there was another rumor that states the reason why Titan values him so much, to the extent that he even dotes on Brayden is that he is rumored to be Titan's illegitimate child." "He's in his twenties and is in the Middle-stage of the Black Level. He's quite skilled, but he's not considered talented either, but Titan actually gave everything to Brayden. Perhaps it's because he's really Titan's illegitimate son" Fade thought. He couldn't help but stare at Brayden who was on the stage and questioned. The Titan Studio is well-established, and Brayden is loved by Titan, so why is Brayden auctioning something? Could it be that he needs money? Nita explained, "This has something to do with Brayden's personality. "He's been pampered by Titan ever since he was young, and the fact that he is a capable person caused him to become an arrogant person. When he became an adult, he was allowed to leave Titan's side and live on his own and he became more arrogant." "Maybe it was because he trained too hard when he was in Titan Studio. After leaving, he played every day and spent money as he wanted; he didn't care about anything, Just like that, he became a famous playboy in Jade City, and was regarded as a VIP by a lot of major entertainment places even though he only left for a month "Of course, with how Brayden spent his money, he spent it all in no time. However, everyone knew his identity, so they were still willing to let him pay in credit. Just like that, Brayden was able to spend around a hundred million in just three months. In the end, he was not able to pay for his credit purchases and was chased after by various big shots, which caused a stir in Jade City" "After Titan Studio learned about this matter, Titan paid off the debt and brought Brayden back. He was grounded there for half a year before he was released again." "Later, when he left Titan Studio again, he was much more disciplined, but his personality was still the same. However, he didn't spend as much as before. Moreover, after spending money, he knew that everyone would not be willing to let him delay his payment, so he thought of ways to earn money. The best way he could think of was to sell off his personal belongings." Listening up to that point, Fade had a rough idea of what was going on. So he couldn't help but look at Brayden and say, "So, in this auction, he is..." Nita nodded and said, "He's Titan's last disciple who has been badly pampered. Therefore, all weapons, herbs, and talismans around him of quality He was in a hurry to exchange it for money so he's selling them, and naturally, his items sold like hot cakes." "Sometimes, when Brayden is in a hurry for money, he would even steal things from Titan Studio that belonged to his master, Titan. This makes him even more popular among the many wealthy merchants. After all those items are items from an Earth- level expert, Titan. It's hard to buy them even if you have the money to do so. I see!" Fade nodded and said, "So, Brayden is short on cash again, and he is trying to auction off his belongings for some quick cash. "That's very likely to be the case!" Nita nodded. "It's just that I don't know if the item he's auctioning this time is one that belongs to him, or if it belongs to his master." Meanwhile, all the other big shots were also curious. They all looked at Brayden with burning eyes; they were determined to spend their money on his items. It was as if they were asking Brayden to start the auction immediately. Looking at the lively atmosphere, Brayden saw that it was about time. With a smile, he said, "I won't keep you guys guessing. Next, the item I'm going to auction is..."
Chapter 970 Following Brayden's words, everyone's curiosity was at their peak. They all stared curiously at the wooden box on the stage with eyes filled with anticipation. Brayden swept his gaze across the auction hall and said, "The item I want to auction is the Tormiado Talisman. While speaking, Brayden opened the wooden box and revealed a yellow talisman Meanwhile, all the big shots became excited upon hearing the name 'Tormiado Talisman'. Some of them couldn't even control themselves and stood up directly *The Tormiado Talisman, this time I will definitely obtain it" That was the talisman that made Master Chiu become famous. 50 years ago, when Master Chiu came to Jade City, he only relied on the Tormiado Talisman and made him famous in one fell swoop. "The Tormiado Talisman has extraordinary effects. Not only can it dispel evil spirits and prevent disastrous events from occurring, but it can also nourish one's body, cure diseases, and save lives. It's an extremely valuable thing" "That's true. I've heard that ten years ago, the Old Master of the Li family, Fenrir Li, was gravely ill. When he was about to die, Titan used the Tormiodo Talisman to cure him." *The Tormiado Talisman! It is a life-saving talisman! If anyone had one, it would mean that they would have an extra life!" "It's just that it takes a large amount of positive energy and vitality to make the Tormiado Talisman. Therefore, Master Chiu hasn't made one in many years. I didn't expect that Young Master Chiu would auction it." "Who do you think Young Master Chiu is? It's only natural for him to get hold of the Tormiado Talisman. There's nothing to be surprised about." There was a heated discussion. Everyone was almost out of control for a moment. All of them were staring excitedly at the talisman in the wooden box. Even Nita, who was next to Fade, felt a little eager at that moment. It looked like she wanted to participate in the bidding Seeing that, Fade could not help but ask, "Nita, do you also want to bid?" Nita said, "With this Tormiado Talisman, my mother's health can be guaranteed, so I want to... As she said that, Nita seemed to realize something and explained to Fade in a panic, "Fade, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to..." Fade said, "Nita, it's okay. I know what you're thinking. It's just.." Fade replied. "Fade, it's just what?" Nita stared at Fade with some doubts and asked. Fade did not answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at the Tormiado Talisman with a trace of doubt in his eyes. It wasn't that Fade didn't believe in Brayden, but Fade was also a martial artist. He knew very well that it wasn't impossible to successfully make a talisman that had the effect of curing anything and for 'protection'. It was just that that matter was very difficult. Even if it was Fade himself, it would take a lot of energy to create a talisman that could really achieve such effects. If it was drawn by the Earth-Level, Titan, it would be even more difficult. Even if the effects were only 60% or 70% of what everyone thought of it, it was likely that Titan would have to spend a lot of his strength to make it. Creating such a talisman would take a toll on the creator, so it was rare for a martial artist to actually create such a talisman. However, right then, when Brayden took out such a precious talisman to auction, Fade had no choice but to be doubtful of it. After all, if that talisman was truly effective, it was worth more than a hundred million. Moreover, that was just the starting price. Meanwhile, Brayden also carefully picked up the talisman in the wooden box and began to introduce it to the crowd. The talisman was very thin, but on the yellow paper, it had a dense and crystal clear light, exuding a fresh and refreshing aura. It made people feel relaxed and enlightened after just a light sniff. Moreover, on the surface of the paper, those painted vermilion red lines with silver hooks were also extraordinary, showing Titan's profound power. After seeing that, it tempted every wealthy merchant. They called the martial artists around them to identify it. Brayden was also extremely confident. He allowed martial artists to get close and identify it. He even triggered the seal gently in front of everyone, causing the seal to emanate a shocking aura. All of a sudden, those wealthy merchant's eyes lit up, and they shouted. "It's the real deal, it's absolutely the real deal!" "I'm very familiar with this aura. It's definitely the Tormiado Talisman." "Young Master Chiu, don't keep us waiting. Please start the auction at once." *That's right. How much is it? Quickly, name a price." In the bustling crowd, Brayden smiled and said loudly, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll start the auction immediately. This is the Tormiado Talisman drawn by my master, Titan. The starting price is one hundred million yuan. Each raise is at least one million yuan. Now, please bid!" When he announced the price, quite a number of people's faces darkened immediately. They had limited wealth. However, there were still quite a number of big shots who could afford it. Moreover, the starting price was also within their ctations Therefore, as soon as Brayden announced the starting bid, the sound of bidding immediately came from below. "One hundred million, I'll pay one hundred million." "One hundred and five million!" "One hundred and eight million!" "One hundred and ten million!" There were a lot of sounds of bidding and the price kept rising. Many big shots were really excited, but the most excited one was none other than Calvin. As the eldest son of the Chiang family, Calvin was not familiar with the value. He said loudly, "A talisman of this level, and you guys are raising so little in every bid. Don't even bother bidding then." After that, Calvin raised his sign and said loudly, "I bid one hundred and fifty million. The Tormiado Talisman is mine." That price really shocked quite a few people. After all, the prices had only been raised by a few million a few moments ago. No one was like Calvin, who tried to raise it by more than thirty million. For a moment, the lively auction hall settled down Seeing that, Calvin showed a confident smile and said, "It's mine." However, before he could finish his words, a wealthy, middle-aged businessman raised his card and said, "One hundred and sixty million." Upon hearing that, Calvin turned his head and stared at him, saying, "Mr. Hu, do you want to compete with me?" Mr. Hu, who was a big-bellied man, was also a tycoon, and his net worth was practically equal to the Chiang family's. He did not hold back at the moment and said, "I'm old already and I need health care. Young Master Chiang, can you not compete with an old man like me?" Calvin replied, "Mr. Hu, you're still young and vigorous. You're not old at all. Besides, this talisman is for my grandpa. Please give it to me." Mr. Hu smiled and said, "Young Master Chiang, since you said it like that, then. I also want to buy this talisman for my father."
Chapter 971 Evidently, arguing was fruitless, hence Calvin initiated the bidding decisively. "One hundred and seventy million yuan!" Mr. Hu did not hesitate and shouted vigorously, "One hundred and eighty million yuan!" As a result, many wealthy merchants stopped bidding. After all, they could not afford to pay for it. In truth, most of the executives only had a net worth of one billion yuan. Therefore, it was impossible for them to fork out twenty million yuan to bid for a talisman In the end, the auction turned into a fierce competition between Calvin and Mr. Hu Immediately, Mr. Hu announced his bid. Calvin paused to glance at Mr. Hu before raising his bidder card and exclaimed, "Two hundred million yuan. *Two million yuan?!" Mr. Hu was hesitant but he gritted his teeth and decided to raise his bidder card. Suddenly, Calvin spoke, "Mr. Hu, your company seems to be struggling and you're having troubles with your assets. Are you sure you're going to fish out two hundred million yuan to bid for Tormiado Talisman? Your company's shareholders won't be happy about it, right?" Mr. Hu's face darkened. Calvin was smug as he added arrogantly, "Mr. Hu, why don't you let me have Tormiado Talisman? I'll definitely remember your help. Calvin's remarks put out Mr. Hu's determination. In the end, Mr. Hu lowered his arm reluctantly. Calvin smirked and glanced at Brayden. He asked proudly, "Young Master Chiu, two hundred million yuan is the highest price. Shouldn't you end the bid?" Brayden intended to make more money, hence he did not close the bidding. On the contrary, he gazed the wealt merchants and tempted, "Everyone, my master put in painstaking effort to craft this talisman. After this, it would be impossible to get your hands on Tormiado Talisman." Brayden's remarks caused a stir among the wealthy merchants. After all, they were willing to spend a fortune in exchange for their lives. Nita was fidgeting as well. She bit her lip and wondered if she should raise her bidder card. On the other hand, Fade was observing the talisman. In the end, he pressed Nita's arm and shook his head. He concluded, "Nita, don't. "Fade, I." Nita was confused. Meanwhile, Calvin scanned the anxious crowd. He was intimidating and tempting the bidders. Alas, no one raised their bidder cards to compete with Calvin. Brayden was a little upset with the outcome but he hammered the gavel reluctantly. In the end, Calvin purchased Tormiado Talisman for two hundred million yuan! Calvin was thrilled and proud as he received the talisman After all, he crushed his opponents and managed to acquire a valuable talisman. The talisman was a display of his wealth and status. Brayden was on stage as he received the money. He chatted with the wealthy merchants briefly and he was prepared to leave. Nita glanced at Fade in confusion and there was a hint of regret in her eyes. Fade was solemn as he explained softly, "Although I'm not an expert on Tormiado Talisman, I'm sure the talisman they auctioned was not as effective as they claimed it to be." "Not as effective?" Nita gasped in surprise, "Fade, you're saying that the Tormiado Talisman is fake?" "In a way, the Tormiado Talisman is fake because that talisman is incapable of saving a dying patient. From what I can see, the talisman could only nurse the body and the effect is similar to nourishing the body with positive energy. "Are... Are you sure? Nita asked in astonishment. Lily chipped in and persuaded, "Nita, you must believe Fade. After all, he's a powerful martial artist and he's stronger than Brayden's master, Titan." "Wow!" Nita was puzzled but she nodded and replied, "Fade, thanks for reminding me. Otherwise, I'll be bankrupt because of a fake talisman." Fade concluded in a low voice, "It's better to be careful with things like that. If no experts could appraise it, it's better to not believe them. Nita nodded and answered, "I'll keep that in mind, Fade." She sighed and continued, "Well... I never expected Calvin, the young master of Titan Studio and Titan's disciple, to sell fake talisman at an auction. "Earlier, you mentioned that Brayden is a playboy. He has a few hundred million yuan debts and he even stole his master's belonging to sell them off. Judging from his character, it's possible that he's selling a fake talisman." "I was too naive" Nita exclaimed as she stood up to leave with Fade and the others. However, Calvin, who sat behind Fade, overheard the conversation. His face darkened and he sneered, "Why don't you just admit that you can't afford it? No one will taunt you for it. Yet, just because you can't afford it, that doesn't mean that you could accuse Brayden of selling fake talisman. Don't you think you're going too far?" Calvin's voice was loud and clear. Immediately, the crowd turned their attention to him "Fake talisman! What?" "Why would they sell a fake talisman at an auction? "Who are you referring to, Young Master Chiang?" Amidst the deafening crowd, Calvin's lips curved into a scornful smile and he pointed at Fade. He exclaimed, "Everyone, I was just behind Mr. Chen and I heard everything. He told Miss Nita that the Tormiado Talisman is fake." Everyone was bewildered by Calvin's accusations. "What? This is Young Master Chiu we're talking about!" "Rubbish! Stop running your mouth. "Haha, you're just an outsider. Who do you think you are?" The crowd was doubtful and sarcastic. Fade frowned but he did not take it to heart. He was ready to leave with Nita and Lily. However, Calvin refused to leave them alone. He blocked Fade and scoffed, "What? Mr. Chen, are you leaving?" Fade furrowed his brows and retorted, "Why not? Who do you think you are?"
Chapter 972 Calvin scoffed, "What did you say? You slandered Young Master Chiu! Did you think that I'll let it slide?" The crowd agreed with Calvin "How dare you slander Young Master Chiu? You're playing with fire!" "Does he even know about Young Master Chiu? He's just digging his own grave." "Haha! Young Master Chiu will teach him a lesson." Amidst the restless crowd, Brayden stopped in his tracks. His eyes flickered as he turned to stare at Fade. Shortly after his face darkened and he went up to Calvin Calvin did not notice Brayden's strange gaze but only detected the latter's gloomy face, Therefore, Calvin was feeling smug as he went over to Brayden and added oil to the fire. "Young Master Chiu, this disgusting man slandered you. You must teach him a lesson!" The crowd roared in excitement. "Teach him a lesson! "Make him pay!" "Apologize! Make him apologize on his knees!" The situation was getting awkward and Cooper's expression changed as well. He rushed to Fade and put on a worried look. He persuaded, "Mr. Chen, there must be a misunderstanding. Young Master Chiu won't sell a fake talisman, so why don't you apologize to him?" After that, Cooper immediately turned to Brayden and tried to lighten up the mood. He continued, "Young Master Chiu, it's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Chen is my friend and he's Sergeant Xu's friend too. Young Master Chiu, please..." However, before Cooper could finish, Calvin interrupted him and snapped coldly, "Cooper, you're planning to offend all of us for a foreigner?" "No... That's not what I meant!" Cooper explained hurriedly. Yet, Brayden was furious too. He asked icily, "You're bringing up Sergeant Xu to scare me?" Cooper was influential in Jade City but he could not afford to go against Brayden. Therefore, he forced a smile and tried to explain, "Young Master Chiu, that's not what I meant. I just... "I don't want to hear from you. I can handle this myself!" Brayden interrupted Cooper and went up to Fade. He glared at Fade and hissed coldly, "You said that I was selling a fake talisman?" Fade's expression changed and he parted his lips to speak. Yet, Cooper gave Fade a pleading look and motioned Fade to calm down. Fade sighed internally and spoke flatly, "You should know if it's a fake talisman. I was just saying Fade was being indirect and he did not point out that Brayden was selling a fake talisman However, the crowd was watching Brayden's every single move. Moreover, he was very powerful in Jade City. Naturally, he needed to get his revenge after Fade implied that he was selling a fake talisman. Hence, Brayden pressed on and asked coldly. "You were just saying? How could you be so irresponsible?" "If that's the case... Then it's okay for me to say that your father is a bästard and your mother's a bitch, huh? was just saying, so it's fine, right?" Brayden was rude and he poked Fade's chest as he exclaimed, "Apologize on your knees now" Fade was livid and his eyes were cold. Initially, Fade decided to tolerate it because Cooper pleaded with him. However, Brayden's abrasive remarks infuriated Fade. Fade glanced at Cooper apologetically before glaring at Brayden icily. He snapped, "You should shut your mouth or I'll make you pay." "Oh, make me pay? How are you going to make me pay?" Brayden scoffed and balled his hands into fists. He continued coldly, "I'm Brayden Chiu and no one in Jade City ever talks to me like that." On the other hand, the crowd was laughing as they involved themselves in a heated discussion. "What a silly kid. How dare he offend Young Master Chiu?" "Does he even know that Young Master Chiu is a Black Level martial artist?" "He's playing with fire and no one can help him now. "I'm giving you one last chance. Apologize on your knees and beg for mercy! If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life." Brayden scoffed as he eyed Fade arrogantly Fade's eyes were cold as he frowned. His voice was coated with frost as he spoke, "I warned you. You asked for it Immediately, Fade landed a slap across Brayden's face loudly. Brayden, Calvin and the others were shocked. The crowd never expected Fade to attack Brayden and more importantly, Fade managed to slap Brayden Everyone was taken aback. Initially, Brayden was in a good mood but his face darkened. Anger crept on his face and he widened his eyes. He glared at Fade with his blood-shot eyes and hissed through gritted teeth, "How dare you hit me? I'll make you pay!" Brayden flew into a rage. Nita and Lily were worried Meanwhile, Calvin and the others were excited. They could not wait for Brayden to teach Fade a lesson "Go to hell, you b*stard!" Brayden's body trembled and a surge of positive energy exploded A gush of energy engulfed Brayden's fist and he aimed for Fade's chest. The overwhelming attack thrilled Calvin and the others and they almost cheered for Brayden, "A Black Level martial artist. Brayden is so strong" "Haha! What can that kid even do?" "It's a punch? Oh well, Young Master Chiu could kill a cow with his fits, that kid wouldn't be able to take it "It would be boring if Brayden kills him with a punch." "Whoosh!" Brayden was very powerful. His face was menacing as his fist aimed at Fade. Concurrently, Fade looked solemn and cold. He stared at Brayden's fist and shook his head. The corner of his lips curled into a sneer and he whispered, "This is nothing." "You arrogant punk! I'm going to kill you!" Brayden went ballistic upon hearing that. He gritted his teeth and charged at Fade at full force.
Chapter 973 Calvin and the others were shocked by the punch. They widened their eyes and their mouths agape as they waited for the punch to land on Fade. However, Fade extended his right arm to defend himself and blocked Brayden's fist effortlessly Suddenly, the powerful aura that engulfed Brayden stopped dead in its tracks. Initially, Calvin and the crowd were planning to cheer but they choked on their voice "What's going on?" "Wait... Huh?" "Is that kid a martial arts practitioner too?" The crowd was confused while Brayden clenched his jaw in a fit of rage. He exerted more strength and was determined to beat Fade. Yet, Brayden soon discovered that his attack was futile against Fade. Fade's palm blocked Brayden's blows. The latter felt like there was a huge wall in front of him and he could not bring it down. Fear crept over Brayden's heart and he raised his head to stare at Fade. His eyes flickered and he stammered, "You.. What on earth..." Before Brayden could finish, Fade seized Brayden's fists and twisted. There was a crackling sound and Brayden's sleeve exploded into tiny pieces Brayden's arm was in a frightful state. His bones were snapped and blood was gushing out Brayden unleashed a deafening cry. The veins on his forehead were bulging as he shrieked agonizingly. Fade frowned and let go of Brayden before kicking the latter. Brayden crashed on the floor and Fade stepped on him. Fade hissed coldly, "Stop screaming or I'll cripple your cultivation." Brayden could feel Fade's foot pressing against his abdomen. Therefore, Brayden dared not move and he could only grind his teeth to hold back his scream. In a blink of an eye, Fade managed to defeat Brayden. After Fade stepped on Brayden, the crowd snapped back to their senses and they could not believe their eyes Calvin, who was the most excited member in the crowd, received a huge blow. He widened his eyes and he was at a loss for words. After a short pause, Calvin turned to Fade in bewilderment and asked furiously, "How dare you attack Young Master Chiu? Similar opinions erupted from the crowd. "Young Master Chiu is a member of the Titan Studio. You'll pay for what you did!" "Master Chiu adored. Young Master Chiu. If Master Chiu hears about this, you'll "If you go against Young Master Chiu, then you'll be making an enemy out of be dead meat." every martial arts practitioner in Jade City." "Release You Master Chiu now, or else..." Fade raised an eyebrow and waved his hand to interrupt their threats. He asked coldly, "Go on, run your mouth and you'll end up like Brayden. Do you want to try for yourself? The crowd immediately shut up and dared not speak. Nonetheless, the glow in their eyes gazes gave away their thoughts. Although Fade managed to defeat Brayden, they were certain that Fade would pay a huge price for offending Titan Studio and Titan. If Fade continued to stay in Jade City, he would suffer the revenge of Titan Studio. However, little did the crowd know that Fade could not care less about Titan Studio's revenge. Every martial art practitioner in Jade City was no match for Fade, let alone Titan or Titan Studio, Yet, Fade did not bother to explain it to the crowd. Fade crushed Brayden under his feet and scoffed, "Well, they just reminded me that you'll attack me again if I let you go!" Brayden was livid but he realized that he could not show his anger. Hence, he shook his head hurriedly and murmured, "No. I won't seek revenge Fade retorted, "Really? Do you think I'll believe you? Look at them, from what can tell, Titan Studio will never let me go! If that's the case, it's better for me to kill you now and throw you into the sea. After all, the outcome is the same." Brayden was petrified and he quivered. Immediately, he gave the crowd a warning look and responded swiftly, "Mr. Chen, no, that'll never happen. It's my fault and you're just punishing me." Fade chuckled, "You're smarter than you look." "I know it was my fault and 'll apologize, Brayden declared. The crowd was dumbfounded. It never dawned on them that Young Master Chiu, who was a prominent figure in Jade City, would stoop so low. On the other hand, Brayden seemingly managed to persuade Fade. The latter lifted his foot from Brayden's abdomen. Brayden let out a sigh of relief as the pressure lifted off his stomach. Fade turned to leave but he suddenly recalled something. He turned back to Brayden and stepped on the latter again. Fear crept onto Brayden's face again and he cried, "Mr. Chen, I know it's my fault. I'm really sorry, so please... Fade was speechless at the sight of Brayden's pleas and apologies. He immediately dismissed it and snapped, "Shut it, I have something to ask you." Brayden nodded hurriedly and urged, "Ask me anything. Mr. Chen. I'll tell you everything." "Okay, then tell me about the Tormiado Talisman you just auctioned!" Fade ordered. The crowd, Calvin in particular, was taken aback by Fade's instruction. After all, the cause of the conflict was Fade's accusation. Earlier, he accused Brayden of selling a fake talisman Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Brayden. His face changed and he shifted uncomfortably. Yet, he dared no go against Fade after what happened. He responded, "I'll tell you everything. "Go on," Fade urged Brayden concluded, "It's a fake Tormiado Talisman." The crowd was puzzled. Calvin trembled and widened his eyes at Brayden. He stammered, "Young Master Chiu, you must be joking. I... Brayden ignored Calvin and turned his attention to Fade. He explained, "Recently, I've been having some financial issues. I couldn't earn money in the mountains too, so I decided to sell some fake talisman at an auction."
Chapter 974 Brayden's appalling revelation left the crowd in shock. The fact that he did it "again" made the crowd grimace. Evidently, this was not the first time and he conned his way to success. Yet, many merchants among the crowd fought for his items. Immediately, everyone's face darkened. Nonetheless, Brayden could not be bothered with their reaction and continued, "I planned to return to Titan Studio and grab some of my master's things. I was planning to add a few genuine items with the imitated items and sell them. However, my master saw it coming, so I couldn't get anything." "Coincidentally, members of the Li family came to Titan Studio and begged my master for Tormiado Talisman. They were planning to use it to save Old Master Li. Yet, my master turned them down. He said he was far too old to produce any Tormiado Talisman "After that, I had an idea and I decided to make a fake Tormiado Talisman "However, I know that I was incapable of producing a convincing Tormiado Talisman. Hence, I decided to use my master's Nourishing Talisman as a base and created an imitation. "The Nourishing Talisman could nourish the body and it's effective. Also, it possessed some similar qualities to the Tormiado Talisman. Therefore, I asked for five Nourishing Talismans from my master and altered them to make them look like Tormiado Talisman.' Tormiado Talisman is very rare and no one was familiar with it. Besides, I did not destroy the original properties of Nourishing Talisman, so it was difficult to tell that it was an imitation." "After that, I sold the fake Tormiado Talisman in auctions to make money." Brayden revealed how he fabricated the Tormiado Talisman. Fade could not help but sigh. Brayden focused all his time and energy on immoral things. Nita was worried after hearing the full story. Fortunately, Fade stopped her from bidding, otherwise, it would be a huge loss if she bought a fake talisman. On the other hand, Calvin was dumbfounded Earlier, he pocketed the talisman carefully. He fished it out and scrutinized it but no one could read his mind. He murmured, "This.. This talisman...! The crowd, in particular those who participated in the bidding, were both afraid and relieved Luckily, they did not get the talisman or it would be a huge loss. Calvin was exasperated to the point of tears. He spent two hundred million yuan on a fake talisman. Even if he was the young master of the wealthy Chiang Family, he could not afford to waste so much money! Calvin was miserable and he looked like he was going to break down. Fade could not be bothered about Calvin. Instead, he turned to leave with Nita and Lily. Brayden motioned his men to help him to his feet hurriedly. His face was gloomy and he staggered to leave. Suddenly, Calvin held the talisman and ran after Brayden. He was upset as he muttered, "Young Master Chiu, this talisman... You..." Evidently, he wanted to get a refund from Brayden. However, Brayden would never let it happen as he scoffed, "Goods sold are not refundable. What are you doing? You're asking for a refund?" Calvin replied in a choked voice, "Young Master Chiu, this... It's not Tormiado Talisman and L." Brayden was in pain because his arm was wounded. He was no in the mood to entertain Calvin, hence he snapped sharply. "What are you talking about? Goods sold are not refundable and my words are final. Stop bothering me or I'll treat this as a declaration of war between the Chiang family and Titan Studio." Calvin could not afford to go on an all-out war with Titan Studio. Therefore, he immediately retreated and explained hurriedly, "Young Master Chiu, that's not what I meant. I just. "Then get lost! I need to heal my wounds!" Brayden pushed Calvin out of the way harshly and strode off furiously. Calvin could only swallow his dissatisfaction as he watched Brayden leave. Following that, Calvin's eyes darkened and he glared at Fade's back. He hissed between gritted "It's all your fault! I'll make you pay. Calvin could not afford to offend Brayen or Titan studio, therefore he blamed everything on Fade. Fade was an easy target and Calvin used him as a punchbag, Calvin would rather live in lies than to admit the truth. Yet, Calvin was unaware that the easy target' he picked was far more formidable than he could ever imagine. After the fiasco at the auction, everyone on the ship was no longer in a mood to have fun. In the end, Cooper ended the event and commanded the ship to return to the harbor. It was past midnight when the ship finally docked. The prominent figures of Jade City disembarked the ship rapidly and headed home. Fade returned to the hotel with Nita and Lily. Although Fade did not manage to find a business partner, he did gain something from the trip After all, he managed to get his hands on an Earth Level herb, Dragon Root, with only four million yuan. The herb would definitely help to improve Quin's condition. Moreover, Eden from the Li family still owed him a whopping one hundred million yuan. If Fade had the time, he would not mind taking a little detour to settle the debt. Fade tiptoed to Quins room and checked her pulse quietly. He whispered, "I'll definitely find a way to cure your illness!" After that, Fade tucked in Quin and left the room discreetly. After he showered. he returned to his room to rest. After he left, Quin stirred from her sleep and opened her eyes. She tilted her head and stared at the blanket Fade pulled over her. Her lips curled into a smile and she closed her eyes to drift off. Although Fade slept late the previous night, he managed to wake up early the next morning After preparing breakfast and medicine for Quin, he received a phone call and left. Fade received a phone call from Otto Pai, an old Chinese medicine practitioner in Jade City. The previous day, Fade encountered him on the cruise ship. After Otto received Fade's prescription, he immediately tested it on his son. Surprisingly, the prescription was better than Otto thought. Therefore, Otto called Fade early in the morning to express his gratitude and Otto even promised to bring his son to thank Fade personally.
Chapter 975 Otto was old and his son just recovered, thus Fade decided that it was best for him to visit Master Pai and his son. Moreover, it would be easier for him to check on Damian if he visited them. Otto was quite famous, hence Fade assumed that Otto would live in a quiet hillside villa or a luxurious residence. Unexpectedly, after Fade arrived at the address, he realized that Otto was living in an ordinary residential area. The old residential area was dilapidated and crowded. Fade never expected someone like Otto to live there. Otto waited at the entrance of the residential area to welcome Fade. Fade parked his car outside the residential and Otto led Fade to his house. "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. It's a crowded place and it's impossible for cars to come in, so we'll have to walk." Fade waved his hand nonchalantly and replied, " Don't worry, Master Pai. I'm still young and it's nothing. Otto uttered apologetically, "Mr. Chen, we should've visited you personally to thank you. I'm really sorry that you had to come here." Fade chuckled, "It's an honor to know someone like you, Master Pai." "Someone like me? Oh, I'm just an old man Otto sighed, "If it weren't for you, my son would still be sick." Otto was seemingly overwhelmed with emotions as he spoke. Fade paused before asking, "Master Pai, you're a very famous and talented doctor, so why... Why do you still live here? It would be a piece of cake for you to be a private doctor for a wealthy family or an expert in a hospital!" Otto's eyes flickered and he glanced around him. He replied, "I've lived here for over thirty years. This is my home and I'm used to it." "More importantly, most of the residents here are poor. If I open my clinic here, it would be more convenient for them too. As for the rich, they are capable of finding another doctor. Yet, the residents here would be hopeless without me." Fade was quiet and his respect for Otto grew. Otto noticed Fade's silence and waved his hand, He chuckled, "Old people love to nag but youngsters like you wouldn't like it, right? It's okay if you don't like it." Fade immediately shook his head before bowing to Otto. He uttered respectfully, "Master Pai, you're an admirable man. I really look up to you." Otto rushed to stop Fade and answered, "Mr. Chen, you saved my son. I can't let you bow to me. Come one, I..." Fade shook his head firmly and stared at Otto. "Master Pai, this has nothing to do with saving your son. You're a respectable doctor and I admire you for it." Fade proceeded to bow respectfully to Otto. Otto accepted Fade's gesture solemnly. After that, they continued to chat and strode further into the residential area. On the way, many of the residents greeted Otto cheerfully and some of them even gave gifts. Evidently, Otto was very popular in the area. After walking for fifteen minutes, they arrived at an old five-story building An old-fashioned neon signboard was hung on the second floor. The sign read "Otto Clinic". *Mr. Chen, this is my house. Please come in!" Otto smiled as he welcomed Fade. If Otto was not with Fade, the latter would never believe that the old building was the famous Otto Clinic in Jade City Fade nodded and strode into the building. As soon as he entered the first floor, he immediately recognized a familiar herbal scent. A row of cabinets was lined in front of the entrance. A young man and a young woman were organizing a range of herbs in the cabinets. There was a handwritten sign that read "Otto Clinic" on top of the cabinet. Anyone would tell that it was a good calligrapher that wrote it. Fade realized that it was not an ordinary clinic. It was the most prestigious clinic in Jade City Otto entered the building with Fade and introduced the latter to the duo in the clinic. "Hannah, Teddie, come and meet Mr. Chen." The duo immediately set their tasks aside and greeted Fade respectfully. They were very grateful as they parted their lips to speak. "Greetings, Mr. Chen" *Thank you for saving my father, Mr. Chen." "Don't mention it!" Fade replied hurriedly and turned to Otto to ask, "They are?" Otto chuckled and introduced, "They are my grandchildren, Hannah and Teddie. They are Damian's children.' "Oh, I see. Master Pal, it's admirable that your skills are being passed down to your grandchildren." Otto waved hand helplessly and replied, "You flatter me, Mr. Chen. Well, it can't be helped. Nowadays, Chinese Medicine practitioners are declining and it takes a long time to learn. Besides, most youngsters wouldn't be interested in this." "I was worried that my effort would be lost, so I forced them to practice Chinese Medicine. Back then, they would cry whenever I force them to learn!" Hannah and Teddie were embarrassed. "Grandpa, we were too young to understand that you were doing it for our own good! We understand now and we'll continue the legacy of Otto Clinic." Otto was relieved and he smiled. A stream of bittersweet emotions flooded Fade. He was glad that the Pai family would continue the legacy. However, he was worried about the diminishing of Chinese Medicine practitioners, Suddenly, several patients arrived at the clinic and they asked, "Dr. Pai, is Otto Clinic open today?" Otto turned over his shoulder and replied, "I'm a little busy today, so I couldn't tend to you. If you're okay with it, Hannah and Teddie could... Before Otto could finish, the patients immediately answered, "It's okay, it's okay. we don't mind. It's just a mild cough. Your grandchildren are very talented and they'll be more than capable of treating us." "Hannah, Teddie, go and check on them!" Otto instructed before turning to Fade and continued, "Mr. Chen, let's go upstairs!"
