Chapter 976 Otto and Fade proceeded to the second floor. Although it resembled the consultation hall on the first floor, it was separated into small cubicles. A fully furnished living space was situated on the third floor. There was a living room, a kitchen and bedrooms. Otto gestured to Fade to sit and explained, "I own the building. The first and second floors are used as a clinic to treat our patients while our family lives on the third floor "I see!" Fade nodded and received a cup of tea from otto. Suddenly, there was a string of footsteps and two disheveled middle-aged men descended from the stairs. They noticed Otto and bowed to greet him, "Good day, Master Pai!" "Good day to you too. Go on!" Otto replied warmly. The men nodded hurriedly and bid their farewells before leaving. Fade observed them curiously. Judging by their appearance, they did not seem to be a part of Otto's family, hence he asked, "Master Pai, they are?" Otto chuckled, "My tenants." "Tenants? Fade was taken aback. Otto explained, "My family stays in the top three floors of this building. Yet, apart from Teddie and Hannah, many of my descendants didn't practice Chinese medicine. Therefore, they didn't live here and most of the rooms are unoccupied "Sometimes, I'll come across some people in need, so I rent out the place to help them," Otto continued. Otto's reply made Fade respect Otto more than ever. Earlier, the two men did not seem to be well-off and Otto certainly did not need their rent. Nonetheless, he did so to help the others unconditionally. That elevated Fade's admiration for Otto. Fade immediately bowed to demonstrate his respect for Otto again. Shortly after, Otto brought Damian to the living room and the latter thanked Fade. Damian was in his forties. He was neatly dressed and wore a pair of glasses. His illness took a toll on him and he was very skinny "Thank you so much, Mr. Chen, Damian expressed his gratitude and bowed. Fade asked Damian to sit and checked the latter's pulse. After a while, Fade was certain that his medicine was working and he was relieved. After that, he prescribed some medicine to nourish Damian's body and lessen any mild side effects. Otto checked the prescription and he could not help but compliment Fade. Otto was in awe and he exclaimed, "Mr. Chen, you're very talented! My skills are nothing compared to you!" Fade chuckled, "Master Pai, you're too humble and you flatter me. I really respect you for being so helpful!" They were chatting when they heard a loud crash on the first floor. Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice roared, "Is your grandfather at home?" "My grandfather has a guest. How may help you?" It was Hannah's voice. The middle-aged man raised his voice, "What guest? Ask your grandfather to come down now. My wife's condition is getting worse, so ask him to check on her A thunderous footstep came from the stairwell. It seemed that the man was trying to come upstairs. Hannah and Teddie tried to stop him. "Mr. Huang, you can't go up." "Mr. Huang, my grandfather made himself clear. It's better for you to send Mrs. Huang to the hospital, so please stop." "I don't care. Your grandfather is the reason why my wife fell ill. He must be responsible for it. Mr. Huang's voice was loud and there was a commotion downstairs. Otto and Damian turned pale and they immediately stood up. Otto glanced at Fade apologetically and said, "Sorry, Mr. Chen I'll settle it immediately, so please wait for a second" Fade jumped to his feet and answered, "It's alright, Master Pai. I'll go down with you." Otto wanted to speak but Fade headed for the stairs. They descended down the stairs hurriedly to the first floor. Instantly, they spotted Teddie and Hannah were in a heated argument with a burly middle aged man. Meanwhile, a chubby woman was pale as she sat in a corner. "What are you doing?" Otto glared at Mr. Huang and questioned harshly. Mr. Huang immediately grinned when he noticed Otto. He retorted, "Dr. Pal, don' t you know why I'm here?" "My wife's condition is getting worse because of your prescriptions. You have to be responsible for it!" Mr. Huang glared at Otto and threatened. Otto was livid and exclaimed, "Your wife's illness has nothing to do with me "You're trying to deny it?" Mr. Huang scoffed, "There were many witnesses when I sent my wife to your clinic!" "If you're unwilling to be responsible for it, I'll expose you on national television and you'll no longer be the best Chinese medicine practitioner in Jade City, Mr. Huang threatened. Teddie retorted furiously, "What the hell do you want? Mr. Huang's eyes flickered and replied, "What else? I just want you to cure my wife. Also, my wife suffered mentally and physically because of you, so you must compensate us. I don't want much, so five hundred thousand yuan will do" Hannah trembled in anger and hissed, "Marvin Huang, how could you be so shameless? My grandfather helped you countless times but you're blackmailing us? Are you out of your mind?" Mr. Huang widened his eyes and scoffed, "Helped me? Stop fooling around. He did this to my wife and you're saying that he helped us? If you won't compensate me, I won't let this slide." "You... You!" Hannah and Teddie were so furious that they could not speak. Otto's face was gloomy as well but he suppressed his anger. He stared at Mr. Huang and concluded, "Mr. Huang, I told you that your wife's condition has nothing to do with me. Also, you should send her to the hospital or it'll be too late. You." Mr. Huang was oblivious to Otto's advice and snapped, "Old man, stop denying it. After my wife took your medicine, she had a fever on the third day. Who else could it be but you? Hurry and compensate me or I'll tell everyone about this."
Chapter 977 Otto was still trying to persuade the middle-aged man. Meanwhile, Fade turned to ask Hannah and Teddie, "What's going on?" They immediately explained, "Mr. Chen, my grandfather..." After hearing the entire story, Fade's face darkened and he stared at Marvin coldly Initially, Otto set up his clinic in the area to help the poor. He wanted normal and poor citizens to have access to health care. Therefore, Otto charged an affordable price for his service and was respected by the poor Moreover, he barely profited from his work. Occasionally, he would have to fish out his own money to cover the expenses. Otto was kind and he wanted to help the needy. However, after everyone heard about it, some people came to exploit his service. They heard that Otto Clinic was affordable and the medicine was great, hence everyone overcrowded the clinic. Consequently, Otto wanted to help but he was unable to serve everyone. After all, he was only human and he would suffer a huge loss if that continued. In the end, Otto revised the rules. He hiked up the price of a few expensive herbs to make up for the clinic's loss. On the other hand, he would skim through his patients before they entered the clinic. If the patients could afford the hospital's medical bills, he would refer them to the hospital Naturally, if well-off patients insisted on receiving Otto's treatment, he would charge them higher like in the hospitals. It was impossible for Otto to use his own money to pay for the rich. He could only try his best to help those in need. It was a good idea but it was difficult to execute. It was not hard to hike up the price of the herbs. Yet, more often than not, Otto would lower the price to accommodate the poor. Nevertheless, it was challenging to weed through patients. Otto was familiar with the people in the neighborhood, hence it was not difficult. However, Otto often struggled to assess unfamiliar faces. Nevertheless, was kind and he would treat them as financially unstable individuals. A month ago, Marvin Huang rushed to Otto Clinic from another place. Back then, Marvin was disheveled when he arrived at Otto Clinic and he seemed very poor. Therefore, Otto was very kind and he treated Marvin for free. As a result, Marvin visited the clinic repeatedly. He would even appear three times a week Occasionally, he was sick but he would bring his sick family and friends too, He would have different illnesses for every visit. It was normal if it happened once or twice. Yet, Marvin would appear over eight times in a month, hence Otto was suspicious. Otto decided to ask someone to investigate Marvin. Otto was enraged when he knew what was going on. Marvin never intended to seek Otto's help. On the contrary, Marvin was exploiting Otto's kindness to make money. Marvin gathered a few patients and dressed them in rags before visiting Otto Clinic, Otto was sympathetic because they seemed poor, thus he would lower his charges or even do it for free. After leaving Otto Clinic, Marvin would sell the medicine to other patients to get money. He gathered patients with common illnesses and the medicine from Otto Clinic was very effective. In the end, Marvin managed to earn a fortune effortlessly. Within a month, Marvin made over ten thousand dollars by reselling the medicine Furthermore, Otto was livid because Marvin was not poor. In truth, Marvin was a millionaire that owned a few shops and several estates. As such, Otto was exasperated and blacklisted Marvin. Otto would no longer treat any patients that came with Marvin. Marvin realized that Otto found out about his tricks, hence Marvin made an excuse to blackmail Otto. Previously, Marvin's wife, Layla Chen, was the final patient that he brought to Otto Clinic. Therefore, Marvin blamed Otto for Layla's condition. Fade's eyes were dark as he stared at Marvin, who was arguing with Otto. Fade strode over to Marvin and landed a slap on Marvin's face. Fade exclaimed coldly, "Get out!" Fade would not hold back against people like Marvin. Marvin committed fraud and more importantly, he was exploiting Otto's kindness. If people like Marvin increased, kind people would be disappointed. In the end, no one would be willing to do a simple act of kindness. Marvin may be burly but his swollen cheeks were burning and Fade's slap nearly made him tripped Marvin glared at Fade furiously and yelled menacingly, "Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you hit me? I'll kill you!" Marvin flexed his muscular arms and clenched his fists. He was prepared to throw a punch in Fade's direction. Hannah and Teddie were anxious and they rushed to defend Fade. They shouted, "Be careful, Mr. Chen!" Unexpectedly, Fade turned to them smilingly and assured them, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. B*stards like him won't be able to touch me. As he spoke, he launched a forceful kick on Marvin's stomach and sent the latter flying out the door Marvin landed on the floor with a loud thud and he was coughing blood. "Honey! How dare you hit my husband? I'll make you pay!" Layla noticed that her husband was injured and she immediately jumped to her feet. She screamed and charged at Fade. Layla's reactions surprised Fade. Initially, he thought that Marvin hired her to act the part but judging from her feisty behaviors, she might be Marvin's wife. Marvin was very cruel. He would even ask his wife to take part in his fraud. Fade frowned as he stared at Layla. He wanted to make a move but he decided against it when he noticed Layla's pale face and sweaty temples. He exclaimed sharply, "Stop!" Fades demeanor frightened Layla. She stopped dead in her tracks and was paralyzed with fear. Fade glanced at Layla coldly and warned, "You wouldn't want to cheat others by risking your health, right? "What... What do you mean by that?" Layla was nervous. Fade replied coldly, "You'll know if you go to the hospital! "L. I." Layla was hesitant and doubtful. Suddenly, Marvin shouted from outside, "Dear, don't listen to him. He's just lying to you. Hurry, help me up. Layla's eyes flickered and she rushed to Marvin. She helped him to his feet and they strode away Before they left, Marvin pointed at the clinic menacingly and hissed, "Watch it, I'll be back" Fade was indifferent to Marvin's threat. On the contrary, he felt sorry for Layla and stated, "From the looks of it, she's really ill. I guess the rest is up to them now."
Chapter 978 Otto and the others paid their respects to Fade once again as they returned to "Otto, you're one of the kindest souls I've encountered on my journeys. However, you need to stand up for yourself. If you fail to assert yourself, many the clinic will eventually exploit your altruistic intentions. You and the clinic will be worse off as well!" Fade responded Otto sighed and responded, "Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Chen." Fade waved his hand in reply, "I was merely advising you. I just hope you'll be protected from the harm that could ensue." All of a sudden, Fade thought of a solution. He immediately dialed a number and spoke to Otto. "Otto, I just reminded Sergeant Xu to keep a watchful eye on your clinic. If anything like this occurs again, just give Sergeant Xu a call" he said. Fade immediately handed Sergeant Xu's phone number to Otto. The entire family was once again filled with gratitude After that, Fade and Otto headed upstairs as they started to chat once more. Soon, it was time for Fade to leave. He stood up and bid them farewell. Otto and Damian personally ushered Fade on his way out. He proceeded to start his car as soon as he bid them both a final farewell. Fade began his journey as he drove his car through the narrow alley. Suddenly, a beautiful young woman emerged from the side of the alley The girl was none other than Otto's granddaughter, Hannah. Fade was familiar with her as she was spotted at Otto's Clinic At that moment, Hannah wore a pastel yellow dress with a satchel on her back. She waited at a bus stop at the side of the road. She patiently waited for the bus as she gazed towards the cars that passed by Upon seeing this, Fade slowed his car and parked at the side of the road. He rolled down the window and called out to Hannah. "Where are you going Hannah, do you need a ride?" He shouted. Hannah quickly shifted her gaze towards Fade's voice. Hannah was surprised that it was Fade! She immediately fixed her posture and respectfully bowed. Then, she responded, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Chen. L.I'm heading to Jade City University" "Jade City University." Fade briefly hesitated as he thought of a route to her destination. Then, he replied, "That's not far from the hotel I live in. Let me take you there, *This.." Hannah uttered with doubts in her mind. Fade laughed and spoke with a tinge of playfulness in his voice. "Are you afraid that I might be a bad guy?" He asked. Hannah quickly shook her head and said, That's not what I meant Mr. Chen. You helped our family beyond our wildest imagination. How could you possibly have shady intentions? Please don't take it the wrong way. "Get in the car then!" Fade exclaimed, "Or we'll really anger some incoming drivers." He joked Hannah responded with a nod. She quickly entered his car and sat beside him Fade immediately started the car after she fastened her seat belt. A conversation arose between the two as Fade steadily drove. "What motivates you to go to Jade City University at this hour Hannah. It seems late, don't you think?" Fade asked. Hannah replied, "I have classes to attend every Monday. I need to arrive at the university this afternoon." "Wow, I never thought of you as a student! Fade was surprised at her response. "Mr. Chen, I'm indeed a senior at Jade City University. I'll be graduating in half a year's time,' Hannah said. "So that explains it. I saw you working from home and assumed that you had already graduated!" Fade said with a smile "Mr. Chen. Good hands are often short in my family. If I could spare some time, helping my family would be beneficial for us all, Hannah spoke with a gentle voice. Fade nodded and said, "Although you may still be a student, working at the clinic was truly a statement of your remarkable abilities. Your skills as a budding practitioner should be given the credit it deserves." "You flatter me, Mr. Chen. My skills as a practitioner are far from comparable to yours, Hannah responded as her face turned red. "Well, if you don't mind me, could I call you Hannah?" Fade asked. Hannah was shocked at his request. Nonetheless, she indicated her agreement with a subtle nod. An animated smile emerged from Fade. Hannah was nervous as soon as Fade asked that question. "You don't have to be so reserved in front of me. Relax, we are just friends. You can call me Fade," he said with a friendly tone "But... Mr. Chen." Hannah seemed perplexed at his requests. "Please don't call me 'Mr. Chen' again. After all, I'm only 22 years old. We should be around the same age. I'll feel like an old man if you were to call me that again, Fade spoke as he pretended to be upset with Hannah "Twenty- two years old! At this age, you." Hannah looked at Fade in astonishment. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. She never knew that Fade would be that young! Hannah's shocked expression made Fade laugh and it lightened the atmosphere. "That's it. Just call me Fade. You don't have to be formal at all." He responded with a smile. "Well, I'll call you Fade then!" Hannah responded as she gradually eased her inner skepticism Their casual interactions took flight as they eased themselves into a relaxed conversation. Most of it consisted of Hannah's queries towards Fade. Fade acquired greater knowledge about her family alongside Hannah's relevant academic goals. After a thirty-minute drive, they finally arrived at Jade City University. Hannah and Fade had familiarized themselves with each other along the journey. Since then, Hannah was less reserved as a result of their budding friendship. As he made his way into Hannah's campus, Fade came to a crossroads. He paused and asked, "Where is your dorm? I'll drive you in." Hannah followed in a quick response, "Thanks for your help Fade. It's fine if we stop here. I'll just go in by myself, Nevertheless, Fade spoke to her with a smile on his face, "Well, we've made it this far. Distance isn't an issue at all. After all, sending you to your dorm is of my utmost pleasure!" Hannah did not reject and nodded her head in agreement. She then pointed to a road in front of them. "I live in the eighth dormitory building. You can proceed from there and make a right turn" she said. Soon, Fade arrived the entrance the dormitory and parked his car. Although the dormitory was not luxurious, its residents injected it with a surge of youthful vibrancy. Many girls walked in and out of the dorm and the atmosphere was filled with a broad stroke of liveliness and vigor. A group of young men emerged from their dorms amidst the crowded atmosphere. Many of them appeared in pairs with the girls. It seemed that the dormitories of Jade City University incorporated a Western setting of residence. That meant that mingling between the men and women was a normal occurrence. As soon as he stopped the car, Hannah got out of the car and thanked Fade. Many of the students were astonished at the scene. Many of them whispered amongst each other. "Isn't that Hannah? Why did she arrive in such a luxurious car?" Asked a student. "Could it be that Hannah was seduced by a wealthy businessman and had fallen into his trap?" Responded another. "No way! Hannah is like an angel. I can't see that happen!" Exclaimed another student "Let's take a picture of that license plate and post it online. Maybe someone will recognize that man!" Yelled another student. Fade felt uneasy at the sound of their voices. He despised rumors and frowned in response. Fade had initially thought of driving off as soon as Hannah had gotten out of the car. However, he immediately stepped down from his car and walked towards her
Chapter 979 Hannah was surprised when Fade stepped down from his car. "Why did you leave the car, Fade?" She asked As Fade scanned the students, he casually spoke with a shrug. "Hey, I don't want to be seen as a flirtatious man, who seduced the most popular girl on campus, so it's time to show them my handsome face." Hannah couldn't help but laugh at his spontaneous Jokes. She glanced at her surroundings and a subtle frown appeared on her face. "Let them say whatever they want. Just ignore them, Fade" Hannah responded with a tone of frustration I understand. Well, it's all good now. You can be on your way. I'll just escort you in and leave you to your own devices." Fade said. Hannah smiled at him and nodded. Then, she waved her hand at Fade and proceeded to the dormitory. Nevertheless, the students continued to gossip as they watched the scene unfold. The conversations that surrounded Hannah adopted a change in its contents "He can't be a wealthy businessman. He looks so young! He can't be Hannah's boyfriend right?" Asked a student "It can't be. Hannah rejected all her suitors in the past. It didn't matter if they came from wealthy backgrounds. How could she suddenly have a boyfriend?" Responded another. "He could've gotten his wealth from his family business! Judging by his pride, it seemed that he infiltrated our precious Hannah and drove her back to school. Look at him flexing his wealth. I can't wait to punch him in the face!" Another student exclaimed. Fade remained speechless at their merciless rumors and speculations. He shook his head and was prepared to take his leave. Suddenly, a deep and masculine voice emerged from the back. "It looks like you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for three hours. I picked this flower just for you,' said one of the students. The students unanimously shouted in agreement. "Take it, Hannah!" Responded a student. "Accept him, Hannah!" Fade was stunned at the excitement of the scene. He exited his car and headed towards the source of the commotion A beefy young man stopped her in her tracks as Hannah stood at the entrance of her dorm The young man was approximately six feet tall and his muscles protruded from his clothes. He was obviously a strong and brawny young man. At that moment, a fresh bouquet of flowers was found in the beefy man's hands. He had planned to confess to Hannah. Another four to five men accompanied the beefy man; they were substantially smaller in stature. They cheered and applauded at the sight of such an event. Indeed, the group of men was filled with joy and enthusiasm However, Hannah scowled and appeared to be significantly displeased. She immediately rejected the flowers from the beefy man. Instead, she took a few steps back and took a deep breath. She responded to the man with a disgusted look, "I'm sorry Alwin, I just don't have feelings for you. I can't take your flowers. Why don't you leave?" Hannah walked towards the dorms as soon as she had finished her piece. Nonetheless, Alwin rushed towards her side and glared at Hannah. "What is it that you don't like about me, Hannah? I'll change myself to be the man you want!" He passionately exclaimed. Hannah was speechless at Alwin's countless attempts to please her. "Love can't be forced, Alwin. I'm sorry. just don't see us both being together" Hannah said with an irritated tone. "No, I don't believe you! sincerely confessed my love to you, I." Alwin was blinded with excitement. He immediately reached out to Hannah and grabbed her arm with his beefy hands. Hannah's face turned pale and trembled in fear. She immediately stepped back and said to Alwin' Don't mess with me, Alwin. I." However, Alwin no longer rationalized his actions. Instead, he instantly smothered her with his beefy arms. His actions no longer resembled a call for love. It was seen as a violent attempt to attack her! Hannah was stunned by his actions and froze in fear. At that moment, a hero-like figure arrived at Hannah's rescue. He quickly shielded her from Alwin's beefy body. A familiar yet assertive tone was sounded in response to Hannah's cry. "Hannah said that she has no feelings for you. Is there any point in beating a dead horse?" The voice sounded. "Fade, you. Hannah was surprised that Fade had come to her rescue. "As long as I'm here, everything will be okay" uttered Fade as he smiled at Hannah. His gentle words and a tender smile touched Hannah's heart. A faint blush instantly emerged on her face and she was embarrassed to the core. Alwin, the beefy young man was shocked at the scene. He glared at Fade with a cold, hard stare and spoke in a surge of bitter aggression, "Who do you think you are? Get out of my way!" Alwin yelled. Fade responded, "I'm a friend of Hannah's. Since you've harassed her, it is time for you to get out of the way." Indeed, Fade was barely fazed at all. "Friend." Alwin was infuriated the moment Fade had uttered those words. At that moment, the young men who had accompanied him whispered into Alwin's ear, Alwin was enraged after he heard the news. He pointed at Fade and furiously glared at him. "Hannah arrived from the back of your car? Who are you to Hannah?" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Once again, Fade explained to him in a brief and calm manner. "As I said, we are just friends," he explained once more. "i don't believe it. Hannah has never sat in any man's car to come to school. What did you do to her! Tell me the truth!" Alwin bellowed to the wind as he charged towards Fade, Fade was certainly at a loss for words for that man. Hannah was infuriated at the sight of such chaos, "Don't be unreasonable, Alwin. I clearly rejected you and I certainly don't have feelings for you. It doesn't matter if I'm his friend or if I sat in his car to come to school. Whatever happened between us has nothing to do with you!" Hannah explained as she raised her voice. Hannah's words instantaneously left the crowd in a state of shock. At that moment, anger and despair gradually permeated Alwin's face. It was due to Hannah's constant rejection of him. No matter how hard he pursued her within the last few months, Hannah had never taken him into consideration. Although he may have repeatedly failed, he was tremendously furious by the fact that a random guy had effortlessly captivated her attention. Whatever it may be, both of them were certainly close to each other. Alwin's blood boiled at the thought of this matter. He instantly glared at Fade with a bloodshot expression in his eyes. "Hannah is mine. I don't care how wealthy you are. You need to leave now! Otherwise, don't blame me for my actions, Alwin shouted in anger. As soon as he had finished speaking, Alwin raised his massive fists and threatened to hit Fade in a fit of anger. Hannah was overwhelmed with anxiety and rage. Alwin was the captain of the Martial Arts Club at Jade City University. He had represented the club and won a championship at a prestigious Martial Arts Convention. His strength should never be underestimated! Hannah couldn't help but raise her voice at the thought of this matter. She glared at Alwin with her beautiful eyes and yelled in a stern voice. "What are you doing, Alwin? Let Fade go!" She exclaimed. Hannah's protective instinct towards Fade only angered Alwin even more. His eyes were blood-red whilst he grabbed Fade's collar. On the other hand, he clenched his right hand into a mighty fist as he prepared to punch Fade. " I'll give you one last chance kiddo. Get out of here immediately and never come close to Hannah again. Otherwise. Alwin threatened once more.
Chapter 980 Alwin's sidekicks echoed and cheered him on as they stood by the sidelines. "Alwin won the championship title when he represented the university at the Martial Arts Convention. Get out of his way if you know what's good yourself, kiddo!" One of the sidekicks shouted. "Don't look for trouble, kid. Alwin's not only a skilled fighter, but he also acquired his skills at a prestigious level from a Black Level master;" replied another. "Don't waste your time! Hannah is the person that Alwin desires the most," said a third in unison. Many of the students whispered amongst themselves as the scene unfolded. However, several girls stood up from the crowd and whispered towards Hannah "Hannah, ask your boyfriend to stop said one of the girls. That's right. Both of you will be dead meat if you continue to anger Alwin." another responded. "But... I don't have any feelings for Alwin, I." Hannah said. Amidst her panicked responses, Hannah had forgotten an important element. She forgot to explain the fact that Fade wasn't her boyfriend, One by one, the girls stood beside her and persuaded her to call off the fight. "Hannah, I know you don't have feelings for him, but this occasion is unlike the rest. Just tell him that you're in love with him, then we'll find you a way to escape, said one of the students. "That's right. If Alwin was to use his fists. Your boyfriend would be good as dead," said another. "Hannah, you obviously know about Alwin's strength. He once broke a student's ribs in a single punch, exclaimed a third. "Hurry up and say something, Hannah! Otherwise, your boyfriend will be in danger." Hannah was crippled with fear as the girls slowly chimed in. She hesitantly stepped forward and said, "Fade, I." Nevertheless, Fade maintained his composure amidst the commotion. He smiled at Hannah and spoke in a confident tone. "Hannah, there's no need to worry. This young man may be huge but his strength is incomparable to mine," he said. "Don't take this upon yourself. I don't want you to be in danger, Hannah worriedly said. At that moment, Hannah and the girls were awestruck by Fade's intoxicating words. It was only at that moment where Alwin was genuinely enraged. He immediately bore his humongous fists and threw them at Fade. "... I will kill you! She is mine, Hannah is mine... yelled Alwin as he bellowed into the air. "Come on Alwin, destroy his face!" Someone shouted. "Hannah belongs to no one but Alwin. Anyone who dares to claim her will surely die," responded another. "Alwin is invincible!" Exclaimed someone else. Just as the crowd uttered such words, Hannah and the rest of the girls stood in fear. Their faces quickly paled as they were worried about what would happen. "Bad news Hannah Alwin's gonna throw a punch" said one of the girls, "Call the police!" Yelled another. Fade shook his head as he stared at Alwin in the middle of such chaos. A scornful smile emerged from his face. "Your strength is lousy and your technique is mediocre. Are you even the champion of martial arts at Jade City University?" Fade arrogantly questioned Alwin. At that moment, Fade immediately blocked Alwin's ferocious attacks with an effortless swing of his left palm. "What did you say you little b*stard?" Alwin asked as he heard Fade's biting commentary. He clenched his jaws and released a deafening shriek of anger. Then, he mustered all of his strength and funneled his attacks into one aggressive blow Fade but only reacted by gently lifting his left arm and effortlessly grabbed Alwin's right arm. An irresistible force arose from his arm as he lifted Alwin from the ground. As soon as he was lifted, Fade twisted his arm and launched Alwin towards the ground. Everyone was dumbfounded at Fade's defenses. After all, there were significant differences between both of their physiques and Alwin was much larger than Fade. Everyone had initially thought that Alwin could've destroyed Fade with a single punch. However, they were shocked as a slender man like Fade was able to swing his fists at Alwin. He was also surprisingly relaxed when he launched his attacks. At that moment, all of the students were dumbfounded by the commotion. Fade immediately slammed his fists towards Alwin and launched him towards the ground. In the end, Alwin was left in a state of dizziness. Alwin's nose profusely bled and his face had been bruised after the attack. His motionless figure laid on the ground as if the living daylights had been knocked out of him. His lackeys were shocked at the sight of Alwin's injured state. They fearfully stared at Fade and dared not approach him. It was only until Fade raised his hand that they rushed towards Alwin. They immediately lifted him from the ground and disgracefully fled the scene. One by one the students came to their senses and applauded in a state of excitement. All of them cheered and roared at the outcome of the battle. "His strength is remarkable. He knocked Alwin all in one move!" Cried a student. "Hannah's boyfriend is truly extraordinary!" "Alas, if this is Hannah's boyfriend. My chances have disappeared, sighed a third The girls next to Hannah winked at each other and gathered around her. Different topics gradually emerged from the crowd. "How did you stumble across such an amazing boyfriend, Hannah? You always seemed so discreet, asked one of the students. "That's right. Not only is he rich and handsome, but he's also a professional fighter. That's so awesomel" Responded another "Your boyfriend is truly remarkable, Hannah. I wouldn't blame you for liking him at all! "That's right! With his muscular figure and physical strength, Hannah must've lived an easy life!" Exclaimed another student. I would already be satisfied if my boyfriend had half his strength!" Hannah blushed as she heard the girls speak. She quickly waved her hand and immediately explained, "Please don't take it the wrong way guys. Fade is not my boyfriend. We're just friends." However, her explanations were far from convincing. Fade immediately rushed to Hannah and spoke in a gentle tone. "Are you alright Hannah?' He asked. "I' m fine, don't worry!" Hannah said in a state of embarrassment. She uncontrollably blushed as a result of her embarrassment. "Thank you so much, Fade. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know if." She spoke with a grateful heart. Fade reached out his hand and caressed Hannah's head. He spoke with a smile on his face. "Didn't you just say that in the car? You don't have to be so polite with me" He said. Hannah never expected that Fade would've been so affectionate in public. She was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red, and she was struck speechless. Once again, the girls responded in a fit of excitement and cheered altogether. "Don't be shy in front of your boyfriend Hannah!" Teased one of the students. "When did you start dating this handsome, young man?" "What's your name handsome? How old are you? What do you do for a living?" Someone asked. "We don't have a place to stay at the dormitories for the next few days. Mind if we stayed at your place, handsome?" "Come on guys, don't talk nonsense. Fade and I are really just friends. Hannah assured them as nothing was going on between her and Fade. Once again, the girls immediately kicked up a fuss. Fade briefly spoke to them and directed his attention towards Hannah. "Well, at least the matter is resolved. Go back to your dormitory and have a good rest. Call me as soon as you need any help, Fade said with a calm and gentle voice. Hannah responded to his advice with a subtle nod. "Well, thank you, Fade, she said humbly. The girls burst into laughter. "Why are you so polite to your boyfriend?" Asked one of the girls. "Don't you want to stay in the dorms tonight? We won't disrupt your relationship with Hannah. We can find another place to stay." said another. "Hannah, it's still early. Don't you want to hang out with your boyfriend for a little while? All of a sudden, a burst of footsteps was heard from their surroundings amidst their laughter.
Chapter 981 At the sound of these footsteps, the crowd could not help but turn their heads. They noticed a group of men in their 20s and 30s dressed in smart clothes, rushing forward menacingly. Almost all of those present were university students. Where had they ever seen such a thing? They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't help but hide. Hannah and her friends were even more alarmed to see the other side aggressively coming towards them. Someone seemed to have thought of something and was worried beyond belief. "These guys aren't the helpers Alwin called in, are they!" A short man shouted. "No way, Alwin is only the president of our school's martial arts club. These guys are obviously from the community!" A lady covered her mouth as she squeaked "You guys know nothing. I've heard that Alwin has studied under a real martial arts master. These people wouldn't be the ones his master brought with him, would they?" As he said that, Hannah and the others couldn't help but worry. "Hannah, let's hide in the dormitory for a while, one of her friends suggested. *Call the police! Call the policel" Someone started to panic. "Hannah, what are you standing around for? Tell your boyfriend to hide with us!" Hannah's friend urged. Several women scrambled towards the dormitory building to hide, and when they saw Hannah and Fade, who was still standing in place, they couldn't help but shout anxiously Hannah looked a little nervous at this point and tugged on Fade's sleeve, "Fade, let's hide inside. We..." However, Fade smiled and said, "There's no need for that. These guys cant do anything to me. You go ahead and hide!" "But.." Hannah was hesitating when the other party had reached Fade, and it was too late for them to escape. Hannah bit her lips at the sight of such a situation, and instead of fleeing, she stepped forward and stood next to Fade, "Fade, I'm staying too." "Hannah, what are you staying for? Get inside," Fade urged. Hannah shook her head and said firmly to Fade, "I can't go. This whole thing happened because of me. I can't just run away and leave you to face them alone. I'm here with you!" With a determined look on her face, Hannah stared at the men across from her. She fought back her instinctive fear and said, "I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with Fade. He's just helping me. Fight me if you must!" The students around Hannah looked stunned as to her brave behavior. They had never seen such a determined and brave scene from Hannah. Moreover, it was in such a critical situation that she stood up for her boyfriend. In a flash, many students ere inspired by her, and their eyes glowed as they stepped forward "We're in it together! We're rooting for Hannah!" Someone started shouting. "You villains will have to cross us first before getting to Hannah!' Another student added "Alwin had better not go too far. It was his fault, to begin with a lady warned as she squinted. Just then, the crowd was outraged and hundreds of students stood out one by one in excitement, glaring fiercely at the group of men. Such a situation was a bit confusing for the group of men. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. With a sweeping gaze, he glared at the students standing out and bellowed coldly, "I, Hulk Wan and the Guardian of the Flaming Clan. I have come to find Fade Chen. This is none of your business, so get lost!" "Ah!" At that, the students were shocked, "What Flaming Clan? Aren't you Alwin Song's masters?" "What Alwin Song? I don't have such a disciple. Hulk bellowed, and then glared. "A bunch of immature little brats, acting all heroic, Get out of my way!" With an intimidating shout, the indignant students were frightened, and their eyes darted around However, Hannah remained firm and spoke out, "I don't care who you are. Fade is my benefactor and my friend. None of you is allowed to take a swing at him. "Yes, this is Jade University and you're not allowed to mess around." The rest of the students were still holding on Hulk was impatient by sight. With a snap, he slapped against a thick cypress tree in front of the dormitory. The straight and thick trunk of the tree then broke with a click and fell with a thud before the eyes of the students. Hulk gazed over and bellowed sternly again, "Those who are still here, do you want a taste of my slap?" In the face of such terrifying strength, the outraged university students were instantly stunned. Their eyes flashed, and they ducked back into their dormitories. In the end, only Hannah and her few hesitant friends remained. The momentary anger of these bloodthirsty college students was subtle. However, when faced with a real threat, it was a bit difficult to ask them to risk their lives for someone they didn't know like Fade. On the other hand, Hulk sneered and said disdainfully, A bunch of dullards who think they're heroes in books. I'll scare the shit out of them. Hulk's gaze withdrew to Hannah and the few remaining girls, "Aren't you guys going to go away?" After witnessing Hulk's strength, Hannah felt fear. Still, she was more worried about Fade. After all, their opponent was strong, and there was no telling what would happen if Fade was taken away by them, Hence, Hannah said firmly. "I've told you. Fade is my friend and I won't allow you to do anything to him." Oh my this little girl has some guts! She's better than the boys." Hulk laughed, but then his face sank, and he said in a cold tone, "But as gutsy as you are, I don't mind making a move on you if you try to ruin my plan." "Wouldn't it be a shame if a pretty little girl like you was beaten up and crippled? I think it would be better to take you back so that my brothers and I can have a good time." As soon as Hulk said that, the group of disciples behind him burst out laughing. They then looked at Hannah with looks of desire. "Guardian, she's a real college student, unlike one of those fakes from the nightclubs." "Brother, she's so delicate. I can't hold it in any longer." "What a nice face and figure she has. Not bad." A lusty laugh made Hannah's face flush as she bit her lip, a thin line of blood appeared A few of the students behind Hannah were worried. They whispered and advised, "Hannah, come back. You shouldn't put yourself in danger. They are real martial artists, and it won't do you any good if you stand out."
Chapter 982 "Why don't you back off, little beauty? It looks like you do want to have a good time with us!" Hulk laughed out loud, and then stretched out his rough hand towards Hannah's face. "In that case, I'll satisfy you." The situation was so frightening that Hannah's body trembled. Her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a few steps backwards. Just then, Fade struck out quickly and smacked Hulk's hand. He said coldly, "Bullying my friend in front of me? Am I invisible to you? Fade's words instantly caught the attention of the crowd. Hulk's face sank as he glared fiercely at Fade and spoke out, "You're courting death! I was going to give you extra time, but here you are, ungrateful! Don't blame me for what's going to happen next." As Hulk spoke, he waved his hand and ordered, "All together! Take this guy down and send him to Titan Studio to avenge Young Master Chiu!" Fade sniffed, but his eyes were slightly startled as he said, "You guys are here for Brayden?" Hulk shouted coldly, "Of course! You've wounded Young Master Chiu, and you're wanted by the entire martial arts community in Jade City!" After Hulk finished speaking, he waved his hands, and immediately more than a dozen of his minions surrounded Fade with ferocity, each waving their fists. Fade took a look at the disciples, almost all of whom were at the mid-late Yellow Level. However, martial artists around this level were no match against Fade. Fade shook his head in disappointment and said, "You're avenging Brayden with such little power? This so-called Flaming Clan of yours truly is disappointing!" "Arrogant brat, you're looking for death." The Flaming Clan disciples who had been taunted were furious and swung their fists at Fade. Fade shook his head with a careless look and sighed, "It's kind of pointless to waste fists and feet on you people!" *D*mn, you're on the brink of death yet still talking big. Lay down your hands and teach him a lesson, boys!" Hulk's face sank as he waved his hand and snapped. The disciples of the Flaming Clan immediately surged towards him. They were so aggressive that they frightened the students gathered in the dormitory building Suddenly, Fade sighed and then moved his body. Fade, who was standing still at the moment, seemed to shine in the eyes of the crowd. He turned into a streak of shadows and rushed directly towards those martial artists. There was barely a trace of his actions; only the sound of punches and kicks could be heard. Then, in less than three minutes, the Flaming Clan disciples all fell to the ground, bruised, and screaming; they had lost the ability to fight. Fade, on the other hand, returned to his original form, standing straight in place with a breezy look on his face as if nothing had happened. Such a situation left the onlooking university students dumbfounded. "What, what's going on? What on earth just happened? "Did I hallucinate? He took down a dozen men by himself and was unharmed!" "What's more, these people are all martial artists!" "Hannah's boyfriend is even stronger than we thought!" Hulk, who had been confident, was dumbfounded as he looked at the ground full of his disciples, "How dare you! You. Fade shook his head. He stepped towards and said coldly, "Did you not learn of my strength from Brayden before you came for revenge? How daring of you to go against me with such little power Hulk felt tremendous pressure as he watched Fade approaching him. A few days ago, Brayden returned from a cruise ship party with injuries. The incident caused quite a stir in Titan Studio and the Jade City martial arts community Almost the entire martial arts community in Jade City was in action, clamoring for revenge on Brayden's behalf. After all, a large part of Jade City's martial arts community was connected to the Titan Studio. Even those who didn't have ties to the Titan Studio wanted to take this opportunity to show their goodwill and get in touch with them. That was what Hulk had in mind. The Flaming Clan had some ties to the Titan Studio, based on the previous generation. However, It was a very shallow relationship now, and Flaming Clan didn't have much of a presence in the Jade City martial arts scene either. To please the Titan Studio and re-establish his strength, Hulk came over with his men as soon as he heard the news about Fade. He was ready to take Fade back to Titan Studio for a reward. Furthermore, it was not as if he didn't consider Fade's strengths before coming. Brayden was a mid- Black Level martial artist. Meanwhile, Hulk also had the strength of a mid-Black Level. Together with more than a dozen mid-late Yellow Level apprentices, he thought that they had a good chance of winning if they went together What he didn't expect at all was that in a matter of minutes, Fade had knocked out all the people he brought with him cleanly and without any fuss. At that moment, Hulk looked at Fade and felt that he had made a mistake. He said in a stern voice, "Don't, don't come near me. We, Flaming Clan, have a very close relationship with the Titan Studio. Don't you dare touch me, or I will." Fade shook his head speechlessly and said, "Move your brain. I've beaten up Brayden from the Titan Studio, so how would I not dare to touch you? Can the Flaming Clan be more connected to Titan Studio than Brayden?" "L. Hulk was speechless for a moment. "Neither your brain nor your strength function. How on earth are you even a Guardian?" Fade looked annoyed and then, he slapped Hulk. Hulk gritted his teeth and breathed in preparation to block Fade's attack. Though Hulk knew he was no match for Fade, he thought he could block Fade's attack with his mid-Black Level strength However, he was dumbfounded the moment Fade's palm landed on him. The raging force was simply beyond his ability to resist. Furious momentum followed Fade's palm and Fade slapped Hulk hard in the chest, which sent him flying straight out of the room. Hulk hit the wall of the dormitory with a heavy thud and spurted out a mouthful of blood. He then slid to the ground and was barely able to move. At that point, the onlookers looked even more dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, a burst of applause and cheers followed.
Chapter 983 "Holy shi*! That's awesome, that's so awesome!" "He sent the man flying with a slap. Am I not watching a movie here? "He's so strong. No wonder Hannah likes him!" " know the Flaming Clan. Their Guardian is a mid-Black Level master. I can't believe he's defeated just like that." "He's so cool and awesome!" It was amidst this enthusiastic cheering and chatter, Alwin, who had just been beaten up by Fade, was walking a short distance down the road beside a bald man in his thirties, He was covered in bruises and with a look of hatred, he added fuel to the fire, "Master, that kid is too arrogant! You must take revenge for me!" Lennox Huang replied with a confident look on his face, "I know, and since I'm here with you, I'm definitely going to avenge you." "Thank you, Master!" Alwin hurriedly thanked him. Lennox grunted and shot Alwin a look, "Don't give me that smirk. You have not trained well and that's why you got defeated. I'll have to give you extra training from now on." After listening to what Lennox had said, Alwin looked bitter and cried out in agony, "Master, it's not my fault that I've been defeated as that brat is too weird. He looks so thin and weak, but his strength is terrifying." "You can't beat him because he's stronger? What happened to the moves! taught you? Martial arts are not a tug of war and not a mere contest of strength. You need to learn to fight with your head," his master lectured. Alwin nodded hastily, "Yes, Master, I'll train well when I get back. Let's hurry up now, or we won't know where to find him if that brat runs away" As they spoke, the two had arrived at the dormitory, and hearing the enthusiastic cheering from this side, they could not help but feel a surge of curiosity "What's going on? Why is there so much cheering? Is something good going on?" Lennox questioned. With a twinkle in his eye, Alwin spoke out, "Master, perhaps everyone knows you are coming and they've come to greet you." "Stop flattering!" Lennox glared at Alwin, though there was more than a little smirk on his face The duo arrived in front of the dormitory building and looked at the enthusiastically cheering students. Their faces sank as soon as they saw Fade, who was smiling. Alwin's eyes almost burst into flames, especially when he saw Hannah leaning close to Fade. Alwin was furious and pointed at Fade, "Master, that's the one who beat me up! You must teach him a lesson and avenge me! With that, Alwin barked in Fade's direction, "Fade, get your *ss over here! My Master is here! Such a shout immediately drew the attention of the crowd, and they looked over When the crowd saw Alwin's return, they could not help but murmur with shifting faces. "Alwin's actually back?" "How dare he come back? Wasn't that enough of a lesson just now?" "He doesn't stand a chance against Mr. Chen for Hannah Alwin listened to the chatter around him and couldn't help but frowned. He glared fiercely at the crowd and shouted, "My Master is a real martial artist! Fade you brat, be prepared to die!" This kind of hooting and hollering would usually have caused a bit of attention in school. After all, real martial artists were scarce for students. However, the situation was so peculiar that Alwin's shout did not elicit envy and admiration, but rather sighs and strange looks, It was a look that made Alwin feel uncomfortable, and because of that, his anger at Fade grew even more exuberant. Thus, Alwin yelled again, "Fade, kneel down and confess your mistake. If you are sincere, my master and I will spare your life!" Alwin's overbearing and threatening voice was not only ridiculous to Fade but also the university students around him. Suddenly, some students shouted in reply. "Alwin, stop boasting. Hurry up and leave with your master!" "Exactly! Otherwise, it'll be too late to regret it later!" "What nonsense are you guys talking about? My Master is a martial artist, a true martial artist! He has already reached the peak of Yellow Level and will soon enter the Black Level realm. Do you guys even know what Black Level stands for?" Alwin shouted triumphantly. However, what greeted him was a louder chorus of mockery. "The peak of Yellow Level? Don't bring that kind of strength to the table! It's not worth mentioning in front of Mr. Chen!" "Haha. Alwin, don't you want to take a look on what's going on with these people on the ground?" "How, how could this be.." Alwin hadn't noticed these people on the ground at first. However, when he was reminded of them, he was taken aback by a sweeping glance. The students mocked again These people are also martial artists, and have just come for Mr. Chen too. Sadly, they've ended up on the ground. You should weigh the consequences yourself!" "If I were you, I'd hurry up and apologize. Otherwise, you'll regret it! "They're all martial artists, and Fade had defeated all of them? How is that possible? Don't you dare lie to me!" Alwin looked unconvinced. Lennox was also upset at the moment. After all, how could he be happy when he and his disciples were being looked down upon by a group of university students? Lennox swept a glance at the seven people on the ground and snorted in disdain, "Don't compare these crooked people to me. They are not worthy of the word ' martial artist'in front of an expert of my level." "I'll show you all what it means to be a true martial artist!" With an arrogant look on his face, Lennox stomped up to Fade. Alwin was proud as well. He glared at Fade with anger and condescension, "I warned you, brat, not to fight me for Hannah. Get down on your knees now and apologize for your mistake." "You came for real?" Fade shot a look at Alwin and felt ridiculous. Lennox glared at Fade with his head held high, and said in an icy tone, "Alwin is my disciple, and if you dare to touch him, you are slapping me in the face. I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and beg for mercy and I'll let you go Lennox smiled and put his hands behind his back with an expression of arrogance. However, just then, his proud gaze inadvertently swept up to Hulk, who had slid to the ground against the wall, and his eyes flashed with surprise, "Mr. Wan, what are you doing here?" Lennox immediately ran towards Hulk who was spitting blood. Alwin, who was standing still, froze at sight, but then he too ran over, "Master, what are you doing? Who is he? He's none of our business!" Lennox gave Alwin a stern look and scolded, "What do you know? He's the Flaming Clan's Guardian, Mr. Wan. He's a mid-Black Level master and my senior"
Chapter 984 Alwin's face changed dramatically after listening to what his Master said. He hastened to curb his earlier arrogance and bend down respectfully, "Mr. Wan, it's you! I didn't know what I was talking about. I hope you're not offended. I..." It was no wonder that Alwin's attitude had changed so drastically. Knowing that the Guardian of the Flaming Clan, Hulk Wan was a significant figure among martial artists, Alwin's Master was just a nobody in comparison Hence, Alwin didn't dare to take any liberties in front of Hulk. The Master and disciple were full of respect as they helped Hulk to his feet. Meanwhile, Lennox asked with concern, "Mr. Wan, how did you get hurt? Who did this to you? I'll definitely not let him go!" As he spoke, Lennox patted his chest together with a look of assurance After all, what strength did he have to avenge Hulk when he couldn't even beat him? Alwin had inherited his Master's character. Just then, he said with an ingratiating face, "Mr. Wan, I'm quite popular in Jade City University. Tell me who did it and I'll bring him over for you to teach a lesson." Hulk sniffed and couldn't help but glance at Fade with a strange look in his eyes. At that moment, the university students around could not help but laugh at the duo's conversation. Some of the students who had disliked Alwin were eager to stir up more trouble, "Alwin, are you that capable of avenging Mr. Wan? Alwin's face twisted but then he patted himself on the chest and said, "Fear not! At Jade City University, I'm known as a man of my words! Do you have any objections? The student replied, "I have no objections! I just want you to know that the person who injured Mr. Wan is him!" With that, the student pointed to Fade. Alwin looked over and saw that it was Fade. Immediately, he shook his head, "Him? How is that possible? Don't you dare try to fool me with your nonsense! Do I look like a fool to you?" Having said that, Alwin beckoned to Fade with a disdainful look on his face and uttered, "Fade, my master is here, so get your *ss over here and kneel down and apologize. Immediately afterwards, Alwin went over to help Hulk again. At that moment, Lennox also looked at Fade with a serious look. He was about to call out to him and make him kneel and admit his fault. The attitude of the duo did not frighten Fade, but Hulk. After all, Fade's strength was something that he had just learned. If they did provoke Fade and let him strike again, Hulk would be in trouble. With that in mind, Hulk ignored his injuries and turned to Lennox and Alwin with rough bark, "Shut up! Both of you!" The duo froze, then looked to Hulk in confusion, "Mr. Wan, did we say something wrong?" Hulk grimaced and spoke up, "The both of you, shut up. Stop causing me any more troubles." "Mr. Wan, how are we causing troubles? We're just trying to... The duo said in disbelief. Hulk grimaced and looked over at Fade, "He's the one who took out all the men from the Flaming Clan." "What!" Alwin and Lennox were shocked and stunned at his words, "How is that possible? How could a brat like him have injured you? That's not." Hulk then responded in an icy tone, "How is that not possible? Do you know who he is?" "Who? Isn't he just a rich kid with a little bit of money?" Alwin had a puzzled look on his face. "Rich kid? Hmph!" Hulk snorted, "His name is Fade Chen and he was the one who beat up Young Master Chiu, a few days ago. Hence, we, the Flaming Clan, stepped in to deal with him. Meanwhile, you're saying someone like him was only a rich kid? "What? He's, he's the one who injured Young Master Chiu!' Lennox was shocked. His face was full of horror as he glared at Alwin and said sternly, "How dare you offend such a man?" Alwin was still confused. With a puzzled look, he asked, "Master, what Young Master Chiu? I'm a bit confused." "Brayden Chiu, also known as Young Master Chiu, is a disciple of Master Chiu of Titan Studio. Do you understand now?" Lennox bellowed sternly. Alwin's face was full of shock as he realized, "Young Master Chiu from the Titan Studio? He's a powerful guy so how is that possible. For a moment, Alwin was genuinely stunned, After all, a schoolyard bully like him was a little too far removed from someone of Brayden's calibre. Hence, when he first heard the Young Master Chiu title, he didn't associate it with the Titan Studio. It was only when Master Chiu revealed his identity that he then understood. He was dumbfounded when he came to understand, and the look he gave Fade was also complicated, Alwin's bald Master was even more furious. He slapped Alwin across the face and said with a look full of anger, "Are you trying to get me killed? How dare you ask me to deal with Mr. Chen! Don't drag me in if you want to die." After saying that, Lennox nodded and bowed in front of Fade, "Mr. Chen, please forgive me for not recognizing you. There will never be a next time." With that, Lennox shot a glance at the dazed Alwin and chillingly scolded, "Get over here and apologize to Mr. Chen and admit your fault!" Alwin blanched and hurried over to bend and bow, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I was wrong." "An apology is all you have?" Fade said coldly, "I recalled someone just ordered me to kneel and kowtow in apology!" Without hesitation, Lennox sniffed and snapped to his knees, thumping his head at Fade's feet and confessing his mistake. When Alwin saw that his Master had done so, he dared not hesitate to kneel and kowtow to Fade in apology. Fade grunted and was silent for a moment before glancing at Hannah, "Hannah, what do you think I should do with them? After all, Hannah was kind-hearted. Hence, she whispered to Fade, I'll let it pass as long as Alwin stops pestering me." "Did you hear what Hannah said?" Fade asked. nodded head," her, 1 her. I'll never dare to pester Miss Paj again, and I'll never be within ten meters of her again." Fade said, "How about this. If anything happens to Hannah on campus, I'll come to you. You'll be responsible whether you did it or not, understand?" "I. Alwin hesitated but was then slapped hard on the back of the head by his Master. Hastily, he nodded his head, "Yes, yes. I will ensure Miss Pai's safety
Chapter 985 That way, not only was Alwin afraid to pester Hannah, but he needed to block and deal with her other admirers as well. With that, Fade had gotten a bodyguard for Hannah on campus. "Well, that'll do. Get up now!" Fade said with a nod. Alwin and Lennox were instantly pardoned and full of gratitude as they rose from the ground in fear, Fade then pointed to the Flaming Clan and the others who had fallen to the ground, "Get them out of my way "Yes, yes!" Alwin and Lennox sprang into action. After a bit of work, they cleaned up the scene and left in a huff. Alvin, who had been keeping his heartstrings taut, was finally able to relax a little after walking farther away from the dormitory Alwin felt a wave of frustration when he thought about what had just happened. Just a few hours ago, he had been a feared bully at Jade City University, but now, he was the laughing stock of everyone. Moreover, he had to protect Hannah at all times! The massive change in status was a little hard for Alwin to accept. He couldn't help but pout and complain, "It's too much for an outsider like Fade to be running roughshod over Jade City." Alwin's bald Master sniffed and gave him a fierce glare. He then bellowed, "Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Alwin lowered his voice, but was still resented, "Master, why should we be afraid of him?" Lennox answered, "He has defeated Brayden Chiu and many people of the Flaming Clan. This means that he has at least the strength around the late Black Level. Why do you think we should be afraid of him now?" "1.. Alwin was speechless for a moment, but after a pause, he pouted, "But.but he had beat up Young Master Chiu and the Titan Studio will never let him go. Even if he's a late Black Level master, he is no match against the Titan Studio." So what if he is no match against the Titan Studio?" Lennox glared at Alwin, "Does it have anything to do with us? He'll kill us if you offend him right before the Titan Studio has arrived. Do you think that he wouldn't dare?" "..." Alwin was speechless again. After all, Fade was someone who dared to fight even Brayden, so how could he be afraid to take on him and his Master. Lennox said in a deep tone, "In short, the entanglements of these highly powerful characters are not for the bottom-feeders like us to interfere. We have no choice but to give in if we encounter any of them, understand?" "Understood!" Alwin was a little breathless. Lennox snapped, "Don't give me a droopy head, and remember to protect that little girl! If anything goes wrong and I get involved, I'll beat you up first before Fade does." "Yes, Master!" What else could Alwin do? He had no choice but to steel himself and nod his head in agreement On the campus side of the dormitory building, Fade had driven Alwin and the others away. Meanwhile, students who had been terrified emerged from the dormitory building again. Once again, the girls around Hannah chattered and gathered around. Their eyes kept flicking to Fade, and they all laughed and teased Hannah. "Hannah, this boyfriend of yours is cooler than we thought!" "He's so handsome! would die with no regrets if I could have such a handsome boyfriend." "Handsome, mind telling us how you got together with Hannah?" After a lively chatter, Fade said goodbye to Hannah and drove back to the hotel. Just as Fade returned to the hotel to rest, almost all the essential members of the Maritime Ocean Pharma, the Chiang family, were gathered in the lobby with serious faces. At the head of the table, the white-bearded elder, Marcus, glanced at the audience and his gaze finally fell on Calvin. With a stern look on his face, he asked, "Tell me, Calvin, why is there a $200 million overspend in the accounts?" As Calvin heard his grandfather mentioning this matter, he couldn't help but feel wronged and he stood up, "Grandpa, I, I was scammed." "Scammed? Who dares to scam the Chiang family? Tell me, what is going on?" Marcus questioned in an icy tone. Not daring to hide, Calvin then told all about the cruise ship party he attended and the $200 million he spent on a fake Tormiado Talisman. After hearing what he said, there was silence in the halls of the Chiang family. Even Marcus, the Old Master who was about to burst in anger, fell into silence. If it had been an ordinary scammer, he wouldn't have let him off the hook. However, it was Young Master Chiu of the Titan Studio. Even the Chiang family would not have dared to act rashly against the Titan Studio, the leader of Jade City's martial arts community The Old Master's face became even more gloomy at the thought of this. After all, the Chiang family could still recover their money if it was an ordinary scammer. Sadly, their 200 million yuan was gone when it came to the Titan Studio Upon looking at the scene, Calvin's heart skipped a beat, and hurriedly, he made an excuse, "Grandpa, it's Fade's fault, to begin with. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have... With that, Calvin rambled on and on, putting almost all the blame on Fade. Marcus sniffed and the look on his face slowly sunk. Calvin's father, Leslie, also stepped forward to relieve his son, "Father, Fade is the guy who had ruined our plan in Dragonville." "Furthermore, Loomis's death must have something to do with him, Leslie spoke out. Marcus was furious at the mention of his youngest son's death. He slapped the arm of the mahogany chair and said furiously, "Him again! How dare he come to Jade City! We'll settle old scores with him this time, and he'll pay the price!" Upon seeing Marcus's reaction, Leslie snuck Calvin a look. Calvin immediately stepped forward and spoke out, "Grandpa, I have a plan to deal with Fade." "What plan? Tell me about it." Marcus said. Calvin continued, "Grandpa, Fade had recently opened a cosmetics company called Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Jade City and it's selling like hotcakes. We can..." Amongst the Chiang family, the conspiracy against retaliation was unknown to Fade, who got up early the next day after a day of rest. As a result, Fade received an urgent call from Titas early in the morning before he even had breakfast. Fade picked up the phone quickly, "Sergeant Xu, what can I do for you?" Titas sounded anxious and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you come to Jade City Central Hospital right away?" "Hospital" Fade was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions and immediately replied, "Alright, Sergeant Xu. Please wait for a moment, I'll be right there." "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Chen!" Titas apologized.
Chapter 986 Fade explained what had happened to Lily and Quin as soon as he hung up the phone. Then, he left and immediately drove to the Jade Central Hospital. Fade saw Titas coming up to him at the entrance of the hospital as soon as he got out of the car. "Here you are, Mr. Chen!" Titas quickly walked forward, "What happened, Sergeant Xu? Why are you in such a hurry?" Fade curiously asked as both of them walked into the hospital. "Mr. Chen, you reminded me of a previous incident that was related to seafood poisoning Titas said with a pale look on his face. "What's the matter? Did you get any more information?" Fade asked. Titas nodded and said, "We did obtain some information but the situation is currently out of control. Although we ordered Best Shell Seafood Company to withdraw its remaining products, a lot of them have been sold. Ever since yesterday afternoon, people have suffered from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and other symptoms, which were very similar to what you mentioned." "What? A large-scaled poisoning case has happened!" Fade exclaimed as his worst fear had been realized. Titas grimaced and spoke "There have been 36 patients who were sent to Jade Central Hospital ever since yesterday afternoon until this morning. Moreover, it's unpredictable how many people have been poisoned." "Mr. Chen, you are the only doctor who knows about the disease and has successfully cured it. Therefore, I humbly ask for your help to diagnose these patients and confirm if it was caused by seafood poisoning." Fade nodded and said, "I see Let's go and have a look!" Titas led Fade into the hospital ward and he began to examine the patients. After a thorough examination, Fade nodded to Titas and said with a gloomy expression, "I can confirm that the symptoms of these patients are related to seafood poisoning. It's very similar to those of Eric's seafood poisoning symptoms" "Furthermore, these patients are full-grown adults and their immune systems are much stronger. Therefore, their symptoms are more serious than Eric's." Titas's heart sank despite the expected outcome. He asked Fade once more, "Dr. Chen, is there any way to treat it?" Fade glanced at the patient and said, 'I can easily cure him using the treatment method I prescribed to Eric. It's manageable when there are fewer people like now. However, it will be difficult for me to treat them if many more people are admitted" Titas frowned as he heard Fade's response. He spoke to Fade with his head bowed, I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Chen. Please treat them first!" Fade nodded and ordered the hospital's staff to prepare the necessary equipment and medicine. He began to work on the treatment as soon as he was ready Fade diagnosed and treated all the thirty-six patients in the ward after he tirelessly worked for half a day. At that moment, another thirty-two patients were admitted to Jade Central Hospital. That indicated that the spread of the virus was faster than the previous day A large-scaled poisoning incident was inevitable. At that moment, Fade examined the thirty-two patients and brought terrible news to Titas, "The previous thirty-six patients' general symptoms were about the same as Eric's. They can be cured with the previous medication. However, several patients conditions were particularly serious in the second batch of patients. There was an uncertain toxin in their bodies. I can't cure it now "How could it be? Even you can't treat it?" Titas asked as he was overwhelmed by Fade's response. Fade spoke with a degree of seriousness in his expression, "If I can't find out the composition of the toxin, I can't set a precise prescription. I can only try it one at a time by exclusion. In that case, I'm afraid it'll be too late." Titas remained silent. He was anxious yet he tried to calm himself down. After a brief moment, he looked at Fade and asked, "Mr. Chen, does this mean that we have to figure out the composition of the toxins first before we can accurately cure the patients in the quickest time possible?" "Yes!" Fade nodded. Titas said, "We've already sent a batch of the Best Shell Seafood Company's products to the lab. We should be able to get an answer from them!" "I certainly hope so." Fade said. Titas called and asked about the test results. However, he hung up the phone with disappointment on his face after a round of queries "How did it go, Sergeant Xu?" Fade asked, Titas replied with a discouraged tone, "Most of the test results have already been generated, but there's a small batch of seafood that contains a type of toxin that we've never seen before. The lab won't be able to figure out the composition of the toxin within a short period of time." Fades face sank and he immediately fell into a state of silence as soon as he heard Sergeant Xu's explanation At that moment, Titas's forehead was beaded with sweat. If they couldn't figure out the composition of the toxin, then the batch of poisoned people might not be cured. if that were to happen, it would definitely make the headlines as a national pandemic! Titas felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground at the thought of this matter. However, at that moment, Fade instantaneously thought of another way. "Sergeant Xu, there is another way" Fade suggested "What is it?" Titas eagerly asked. Fade eagerly said, "Different batches of seafood have different toxins. This obviously means that the seafood came from different places. We can track the origin of the special seafood! Let's start from the place of origin and see if we can directly obtain the components of the toxins." "Yes, yes, that is a brilliant ideal" Titas was delighted as he heard Fade's suggestion. He immediately took out his phone and said, "We have determined the origins of the seafood. I'll get hold of the information right now." Titas hurriedly called and asked about the origin of the seafood which contained the toxin. Then he hung up the phone. Titas' face darkened as soon as he hung up the phone. Fade asked Titas as soon as he saw his reaction, "Sergeant Xu, what's the matter? You didn't get any information?' Titas shook his head and said, "The seafood is from an aquacultural base called Chiang Aquaculture." "What are we waiting for? Let's go and investigate!" Fade said in a hurry. Titas said in a low voice, "No, we can't." "Why can't we?" Fade asked with a frown. Titas said, "It is the Chiang family's property." "Chiang family's property? Which Chiang family?" Fade asked. His face fell as soon as he meditated on that name, "Chiang Aquaculture, Chiang family. Are you talking about the Chiang family who founded Maritime Ocean Pharma?" Titas nodded and said, "It's exactly that Chiang family"
Chapter 987 After a period of silence, Fade said with a serious face, "Even the Chiang family can't stop the police from handling cases, right?" Titas was embarrassed and carefully explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, influential families like the Chiang family will hire many top-notch lawyers "Those lawyers are all astute. They're all good at exploiting legal loopholes. If we investigate them, they'll definitely find laws to stop us from doing so Titas explained "Additionally, the Chiang family's business has shares in Bald Eagle Pharma from Micovia. It is a foreign-funded enterprise that limits our abilities even more. Sometimes, there's nothing we can do Titas added. Fade remained silent and his face looked gloomy as he never expected such a thing to happen. After a while, Fade asked once more, "Doesn't the Jade City police force have any way to deal with powerful families and corporations? Are we just going to let them recklessly roam about their business? Titas answered, "We won't allow them to act recklessly but dealing with them is much more difficult than dealing with ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, we will only catch them when we have sufficient, concrete evidence "Otherwise, those large families will find all kinds of excuses to take advantage of the law and get themselves out of trouble, Titas added, Fade asked, "Sergeant Xu, does it mean that we need to collect sufficient evidence of the Chiang family before we can lay our hands on them? Titas nodded and said, "That would be the safest way to deal with the Chiang family" Fade solemnly said, "If it's any other case, we can collect evidence and capture them at once. However, this is a food poisoning incident now, and there are still some patients who can't be treated. We don't have time to take it slow." Titas was rendered speechless as he heard Fade's comment. However, he did not have a solution. He remained silent and said, "This, this is... Fade immediately thought of something while Titas was in search of a solution. He looked up at Titas and said, "Sergeant Xu, the biggest problem now is a lack of solid evidence. Therefore, we can't deal with the Chiang family, right?" "Yes!" Titas nodded and continued, "Although we have traced the source and suspected that the poisonous seafood came from Chiang Aquaculture, we can't enter nor confirm it at all. It's mere a speculation now." Fade gave a serious look and said in a harsh voice, "Since we can't go in and search during broad daylight, we'll just have to do it by other means." "Mr. Chen, are you suggesting.. an undercover operation?" Titas asked in all seriousness Fade nodded and suggested, "If we can't work in the open, then we'll do it in secret. We'll secretly send people to collect evidence, and then we'll take action to catch the entire Chiang family in one fell swoop." "But it's not easy to enter the aquaculture. The security of the Chiang family has always been strict, and there are many experts in it. It is almost impossible for our men to sneak in. This... Titas exclaimed Fade patted his chest and said, "Don't you worry about that. Just leave it to me. "Mr. Chen, are you going to be an undercover spy?" Titas asked in surprise. Fade nodded and said, "Yes!" "But this operation is dangerous. Mr. Chen, you are Stealth. Titas said. Fade waved his hand and said, "You already know what kind of organization Stealth is, It's not dangerous for me." "But." Titas hesitated still Fade immediately insisted and commanded, "This is an order. You are not allowed to refute it. Now, prepare the relevant things for me." "Yes, sir!" Titas stood with attention and saluted towards Fade. Fade then instructed Titas to conduct the necessary preparations. Fade also contacted the members of Stealth in Jade City. He called the captain, Leonardo Wan, whom he had encountered before. Fade left a prescription in the hospital and instructed the doctors to boil the medicine according to the prescription for the patients. Although it lacked the ability to cure the patients, it had the ability to relieve most of the patients' pain. As soon as he had finished his task, Fade went to the police station and met Leonardo. He the retrieved the information that Titas had prepared and set off. At that moment, the news of the seafood poisoning incident had instantly spread throughout Jade City. Media companies began to report on it while reporters surrounded Jade Central Hospital. Titas and the management of the hospital stayed in the hospital and answered everyone's questions to deal with the on-site situation. Nonetheless, Titas had kept the information confidential to himself and prevented the spread of such news. Just as the news began to heat up, Fade and Leonardo, simple clothes, came to a rocky slope by the sea. who were dressed in Both of them hid in the crevices of the rocks on the slope and used telescopes to observe the scene below. The slope faced downwards and extended into the sea. Several buildings located by the seashore were surrounded by tall walls. That was Chiang Aquaculture. There were numerous buoys and nets closely situated by the sea. There were also countless cargo ships that traveled back and forth... Fade frowned and said, "The seafood poisoning incident has happened yet the Chiang Aquaculture is still operating. The Chiang family is far too greedy." Leonardo, who squatted beside him exclaimed, "The Chiang family has occupied 70% of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. They have basically monopolized the entire industry and they always do what they want. In the past two years, the price of medical products has risen by nearly 40% Many residents of Jade City are dissatisfied but nothing can be done. "The government's relevant personnel had previously discussed such matters with the Chiang family. However, they were arrogant and didn't give in as they had the support of Bald Eagle Pharma from Micovia. In fact, they had previously threatened the medical departments in Jade City with Alstom Antibiotic. If it wasn't for your invention of the Ephedra Syrup, I'm afraid that the current medicine price in Jade City would've easily risen by ten to twenty percent," Leonardo added. Fade uttered with determination upon hearing Leonardo's explanation. This time, we must take down the Chiang family and make them pay the price they rightfully deserve" Fade said with sheer confidence. "Yes!" Leonardo nodded and asked, "Mr. Chen, their security is strict. Should we make a move at night?"
Chapter 988 Fade glanced at the walls of the aquatic farm as the guard dogs walked alongside the patrolling security guards. He disdainfully smiled and said, "Nope. Their security is weak to me. Just follow me later" As a member of the Stealth Team, Leonardo understood what the position of "Special Instructor" meant. He noted with excitement and responded, "Alright!" Fade stowed away his telescope and said, "Well, let's go!" Fade agilely climbed up the slope and instantly reached the beach within a few quick flashes "He indeed is the special instructor. Mr. Chen is so awesome!" Leonardo thought to himself with his eyes wide open as he saw Fade's quick movements. He then quickened his pace and caught up with Fade. Both of them agilely approached the building of Chiang Aquaculture without making any sound. The walls were three meters tall and were perched with barbed wires on top of them. The security was top notch with a rotating surveillance camera situated at every set distance However, Fade didn't have much reaction towards the security features. The surveillance team was no match for his abilities. Fade learned the time gaps of two cameras after careful observation. He grabbed Leonardo with one hand, immediately jumped over the three-meter high wall, and successfully entered the building, Leonardo was astounded by the fearless stunt. Both of them had previously decided their positions on the slope. The place they had entered through was a corner that was piled up with debris. Therefore, no one noticed them as soon as they jumped in. Both of them reexamined the layout of the building and confirmed the location once more. Soon after that, they immediately rushed out of hiding. Both of them were very keen as they hid within the shadows. They advanced along the edges of the and used all sorts of corners to hide. There were occasional accidents where bodyguards and staff would suddenly appear. Under Fade's keen observation, all of them had been discovered in advance to plan Fade and Leonardo's next course of action. As such, both of them successfully entered the production workshop The production workshop was huge and equipped with large-scale production assembly lines. Not many workers were present. Fade and Leonardo acquired several seafood products from one of the assembly lines. They gingerly placed the seafood in an evidence bag and kept it in their backpacks Both of them then snuck into the factory's head office. They searched through the documents and recorded all the important contents. Both of them had gained a substantial amount of evidence within half an hour's time. It was a complete collection of information that was sufficient to seize Chiang Aquaculture, As soon as Fade and Leonardo were about to leave, two workers passed by them and began to talk. "Fatty, it's time for you to check the pond. Get going!" A worker named Ivan said. Paul, whose nickname was Fatty, immediately complained, "Why is it me again? I checked it last week. Ivan smirked and responded, "Captain Wang is on leave and it's your turn. Time to get going Paul sighed as he reluctantly agreed. "That place has a horrendous stench. I can never eat for three days whenever I enter that place. It's really wicked to use that kind of thing as feed, Paul added. Ivan lowered his voice and said, "Fatty, don't talk about it. We'll definitely be fired if our superiors hear about this." "I'm just saying the truth! They are malicious when they farm seafood with that kind of feed. It's harming people!" Paul said. Ivan sighed and said, "We're here to make a living. Don't worry about others. It's none of our business." "Aye!" Paul shook his head. He waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go At that moment, the two men separated with Paul walking towards a square shaped building Fade and Leonardo, who overheard the conversation, looked at each other, and nodded in agreement. "Let's go and have a look they said to each other in unison. They quickly followed Paul without hesitation Paul changed into a protective suit that resembled the ones used in hospitals. Two security guards thoroughly examined him before he entered the building. Fade and Leonardo were even more curious when they saw their actions. This was because the security in this place was significantly stricter than in any other place. Moreover, there were no other entrances other than the front door of the building Leonardo panicked as he was in a dilemma. He had to enter through the front door if he ever wanted to enter the building. It was impossible to enter as two security guards stood guard by the door. Leonardo frowned as he thought of a plan to sneak into the building. However, Fade got up, and swaggeringly walked towards the building. Leonardo was shocked and whispered, "Mr. Chen, what are you." A surprising event had occurred! Fade had walked past the security guards and entered the building with ease. Both the security guards' faces went blank as if they didn't notice Fade at all Leonardo was bewildered and stuttered to himself, "What... what's going on? Mr. Chen, you.. At that moment Fade came out of the building and waved his hand while saying, "Leonardo, what are you waiting for? Come in!" Leonardo came to his senses and quickly trotted over He nervously rushed past the security guards as they stood guard by the door. Both of them looked dull as if they didn't see him. "Can, can you make people invisible? Leonardo incredulously thought to himself. However, he wasted no time and rushed towards the building. Leonardo curiously asked as he stood by Fade, "Sir, what, what happened? Those two bodyguards, why didn't they see us? Could it be that we turned invisible?" Fade smiled and said, "Invisible? How is that possible? You must've seen too many movies." "I it asn't invisibility. The how could we.." Leonardo was puzzled.
Chapter 989 "It's just the means of a senior martial artist. When your strength reaches this realm, you will understand Fade replied as he laughed. In fact, the method in which Fade had used to prevent the guards from seeing them was very simple. Fade used his strong strength to create a state of oppression for the guards, which stunned them in place. As such, they would not have noticed the people in front of them. When martial artists faced ordinary people, the feeling of oppression was roughly the same. That kind of pressure made people tense up and they would feel that it was difficult to breathe. As long as that pressure was strong enough, it would've produced the exact same effect as Fades', It forced both of the guards into a deep shock and rendered them unable to detect anything in front of them. That type of pressure certainly required profound martial arts cultivation as a foundation. Moreover, an accident might've easily occurred should one fail to control the intensity of their strength. Therefore, that phenomenon was rarely seen. After all, those who possessed such an ability would never use it under normal circumstances. Those who didn't possess such an ability would never be able to use it even if they wanted to After listening to Fade's explanation, Leonardo yearned even more for the increase in his strength as soon as he heard Fade's explanation. At that moment, his heart was filled with motivation. "Well, don't get too excited. The mission is more urgent for now, Fade reminded Leonardo. Both of them passed through the tunnel and walked into the building A narrow door appeared in front of them as they walked through the corridor. The door was small and tightly sealed. It looked like a high-tech laboratory "Did they set up a special lab in here to keep illegal drugs? Leonardo wildly guessed as he gazed at the setup. At that moment, Fade had already opened the small door. As soon as the door opened, a strong wind of suction was sounded. Both Leonardo and Fade were shocked and quickly rushed into the room before they proceeded to close the door "What's going on? There's a huge vent hood here. Is it really a lab?" Leonardo was puzzled. Both of them continued to move forward for another brief moment. They immediately understood the reason behind the vent hood as soon as they had passed it. They were hit with a pungent yet indescribable smell. Leonardo almost threw up as if the smell was produced by a mixture of countless trash Even Fade rolled his eyes in disgust. He hastily sealed off his breathing and used his positive energy to briefly maintain his body's function. "Use positive energy to seal your mouth and nose!" Fade reminded. Leonardo quickly did as he was told. Finally, he felt better and didn't vomit. At that moment, both of them finally understood the reason behind Paul's protective suit. They also realized wh the seal of this building was exceptionally well kept with the use of the vent hood. No one could ever bear such an unpleasant smell without these safety precautions. Both of them retained their nauseated feeling and continued to walk forward, Their faces darkened and their expressions became serious as they saw what was before them. A huge sewage pool was situated below them. The black sewage gave off a strong odor as all kinds of garbage and junk were seen floating in the pool. Paul had previously worn the protective suit and inserted a monitor-like gauge into the sewage. He then recorded the data and made the necessary adjustments. The pool was constantly surged with sewage. The equipment cleaned up the garbage and added various chemicals. Finally, the sewage flowed out from a pipe. Fade and Leonardo, who previously examined the layout of the factory, clearly knew that the pipe led to the sea where seafood was being bred. Fade and Leonardo scow in disgust. Leonardo gnashed his teeth and said, "They're using sewage to farm seafood. This, this is despicable!" Fade glowered with disappointment. He used the camera to record the condition of the sewage pool. At the same time, he bent over and scooped some sewage into a sample bottle. That will be used for forensic analysis as evidence. Fade noticed something while he scooped some of the sewage. His face sank as he whispered. "The Chiang family went overboard. "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?" Leonardo asked. Fade pointed to the garbage in the sewage and said, "Look at the garbage carefully." Leonardo was confused and had a closer look. Soon, he uttered with hatred, "These garbage are Maritime Ocean Pharma's packaging!" "Yes, it's the packaging bags and boxes of Maritime Ocean Pharma" Fade glowered in anger. "The sewage is not ordinary sewage; it comes from the factory of Maritime Ocean Pharma, Fade continued. "It's more than just a factory in the Chiang Aquaculture. It has a connection with Maritime Ocean Pharma" Fade fumed as he gritted his teeth. Leonardo was furious and exclaimed, "They not only farmed seafood with raw sewage but are also illegally disposing industrial waste." "This is the sewage from a pharmaceutical factory. The degree of such pollution is much more serious than any other ordinary sewage. They actually dumped it without carrying any proper processes and used it to farm seafood" Leonardo added. "They certainly are experts in recycling!" Fade angrily spoke as his eyes turned red from anger Fade had initially assumed that the Chiang family was just another typical greedy merchant family. However, the Chiang family had turned into devils! It was no longer a matter of raising the price of medicine or earning money. It was a matter of life and death. Such a thing could never be ignored. Fade resisted the impulse to get angry at the scene and he silently collected the evidence. In the same way, Fade and Leonardo quickly left the factory and returned to the police station in Jade City as fast as they could. Titas was completely shocked upon hearing both Fade and Leonardo's experience. He immediately contacted the top management of Jade City's government and held a meeting for further discussion. The council unanimously decided to detain and search all properties that were under the Chiang family The matter of collecting evidence had finally been completed. However, Fade still couldn't suppress his anger. He wanted to rush to the Chiang family and teach them a lesson. At that moment, Lily suddenly called and said in a hurry, "Fade, where are you? Something had happened to the company. Can you come back? "Sister Lily, what's wrong with the company? ml be right back!" Fade was shocked and urgently asked. "Calvin is at the door of our branch with a group of reporters. He wants to find fault with us but he refuses to leave," Lily continued. "Calvin! How dare he return and trouble me!" Fade was even more enraged as he heard the names of the Chiang family. "Sister Lily, take care of yourself. I'll be right back!" Said Fade as he rushed to the company,
Chapter 990 Fade hurriedly returned to his branch company. As soon as he stepped down from the car, several security guards quarreled with a group of reporters with cameras at the entrance of the company Calvin was being interviewed by several reporters as he stood at the side with a serious look on his face, Moreover, Fade clearly heard the interview clearly "I came here this time to get justice for the people of Jade City. I want their person in charge, Fade, to be responsible for it. He misuses drugs and causes serious consequences. We must..." Fade stepped forward while Calvin blabbered. He coldly stared at Calvin and yelled, "How dare you come to this place!" Calvin looked up and found that Fade was burning with anger. He initially looked nervous but regained his confidence as soon as he saw the security guards behind him. He pointed towards Fade and said, "He is Fade. Stop him, everyone." All of a sudden, the group of reporters surrounded Fade. They bombarded him with all sorts of questions, "Me Chen, what do you think of the previous news?" Asked one of the reporters. "Mr. Chen, do you have any response to Eric's health condition?" Another reporter continued "Mr. Chen, please give us an explanation pleaded a third. Fade's face darkened with gloom. A variety of questions were asked but he refused to respond. At that moment, Lily squeezed her way through the crowd and took Fade to the door of the company under the protection of the security guards. Sister Lily, what's going on?" Fade asked. Lily turned pale as fear crippled her response. She looked towards Calvin and briefly explained, "Calvin discovered the case of Wendy Wen and her son, Eric. He called these reporters to attack us with public opinion." Fade understood the situation as soon as he heard Lily's explanation. His gaze turned cold, and shouted as he raised his voice, "All of you, quiet down." His voice contained positive energy which immediately suppressed the chattering reporters and the scene became silent. Fade stepped out and looked at Calvin as he questioned, "What do you want to achieve by being here today? Calvin looked at Fade's cold eyes and fear crossed his face, but he still said, "President Chen, I'm here to seek justice for the people of Jade City" "What justice?" Fade said coldly. Calvin gestured to his subordinate. His subordinate brought a laptop and played a video The content of the video was the same old stuff. It was an interview between Wendy and Anthony on television where they had accused Fade of being against them in Dragonville, Everyone knew what it was before the entire video had finished playing Calvin smirked and said, "President Chen, you must be familiar with this piece of news." Fade didn't respond but showed a cold, emotionless face. Calvin's face fell and he continued, "It's been a while since the news appeared. President Chen and you have been in Jade City for a period of time. My question is, what's your response to this matter? How are you going to take responsibility for the couple and their son?" As soon as he said that, the reporters turned cameras to Fade and awaited his response. However, Fade gave a cold snort and refuted, "Why should I responsibility?" Everyone was shocked and their faces twisted as soon as they heard it. Calvin smiled and thought that Fade had fallen into his trap. He curled his lips and continued. "President Chen, what do you mean? Don't you want to be responsible for them?" The reporters became serious. They stared at Fade and were prepared to record and report his every response. The entrepreneurs would diplomatically reply under normal circumstances. Fade immediately responded without any hesitation, "Yes, I don't want to be responsible for this matter, because this is a complete lie." "Whoosh!" The crowd was in an uproar, and many reporters shook their heads in disbelief Calvin curled his lips and asked, "President Chen, are you not going to admit it?" Fade said coldly, It's fake. Why should I admit it?" "Fake?" Calvin sneered. "Your explanation is weak! Wendy and Anthony have provided a lot of evidence. Are you verbally trying to deny it?" Calvin continued "Evidence? I'd like to ask them what kind of evidence they provided. Is it just what they said on TV?" Fade retorted. Calvin paused for a few seconds and said, "Of course not. The two of them provided receipts and displayed Eric's wounds. Are you still going to deny it?" "That's the evidence?" Fade shook his head and smiled. "Young Master Chiang, stop your nonsense. The receipt only says that they have been treated at my pharmacy, and the so-called wound is ridiculous. It's just the mark of acupuncture. Is being pricked by a needle considered a wound? Fade confidently added Calvin paused and proceeded, "These are just your one-sided opinions." *Then what you just said is also a one-sided opinion of yours, isn't it?" Fade said. Calvin's eyes burned with anger and continued, "Anyway, it's a fact that Eric became ill after seeking treatment in your pharmacy. You can't deny that. Please give a reasonable explanation." "Explain? I just gave an explanation. Besides, who are you? Why should I explain to you?" Fade confidently rebutted, Calvin continued in a loud voice, "I represent the people of Jade City, as well as the businesses in Jade City. If this is how you treated people back in Dragonville, then we will have great doubts about how your company treats its customers in Jade City!" Calvin associated unrelated comments with Fade while some agreed with him. "President Chen, this is the wish of our people in Jade City. Please respond!" Calvin demanded. "Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's branch company in Jade City is yours. Will the incident in the Sincere Medicine Center happen once more in the branch company? Calvin added. "President Chen, please answer our questions. Please give the people of Jade City and the innocent child an explanation" a reporter shouted along with the crowd. The group of people was aggressive as if they would tear Fade apart if he didn't admit to his mistakes. Calvin smiled with a confident smirk on his face as he saw the scene unfold. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Fade with a smug expression on his face.
