Chapter 1021 Sebastian, Habib and the others who were initially smiling couldn't help but stiffen their cheeks, and the muscles on their faces trembled. They looked at Fade in a daze, completely unable to fathom what had happened before their eyes. The others held their breath. They simply didn't have the guts to look at Fade in the eyes. At this time, Fade peeked at Hulk. Hulk was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. However, Fade didn't bother him. Instead, he walked towards Habib and Kayden. He stared at the father-son duo callously and said, "I mentioned before that you would regret it. Now, you understand what I meant, right?" They were speechless and their eyes flickered at Fade. Diego, who had his arm broken by Fade, glared at him with resentment, gnashing his teeth as he said, "How dare you hit me. The Fingerian Clan won't let you go, our martial artists from the Titan Studio won't let you go, either. We must... When Fade heard that, he turned his head to look at Diego. He thought that this was ridiculous. He shook his head and questioned, "Before you spurt nonsense, you should do a background check on me." "Your background? Diego was stumped. His expression turned peculiar, "You're just a kid so what status would you have?" After he spoke, Diego looked at Sebastian. Sebastian also looked at the father son duo as they waited for a reply. Kayden quickly chimed in, "He, he is just Hannah's boyfriend. A mere doctor. Nothing special about his status." Upon that, Diego clenched his jaw and said, "Boy, don't you try to scare me. The masters in Hall 1 must've known what happened here. They definitely won't leave this matter as it is." Fade shook his head and snapped back, "It's ridiculous that your, so-called Hall 1 masters are still discussing how to avenge Brayden, yet you don't even know who I am. This is just too ludicrous." "What does your identity have to do with avenging Young Master Chiu's?" Diego looked puzzled. At this moment, Hulk, who was looking a bit odd, finally made a sound, "Diego, stop talking. Just stop talking. He is Mr. Chen." "What Mr. Chen?" Diego didn't think Jade City had any great man named Mr. Chen Hulk looked bitterly, and replied, "He is Fade Chen! He is the one who injured Young Master Chiu some time ago. "What!" At this time, everyone at the scene was stunned. Each of them widened their eyes, and looked at Fade with awe. They couldn't imagine that this obscure and unknown kid turned out to be the person who injured Brayden. They felt unspeakable ridiculousness at the thought of how they were still discussing how to avenge Young Master Chiu. At that moment, Dieg doubt was somewhat relieved. It seemed that it had become a matter of course that someone who could've hurt Brayden could easily defeat him. However, it was definitely not a good feeling to be injured. Diego gritted his teeth and glared at Hulk with a reproachful tone in his voice. He said, "Mr. Wan, why didn't you explain this to us in advance? Could it be that you are siding with him?" "I am not. I didn't even know Mr. Chen was here. I just... Hulk wanted to defend himself Before Hulk could finish explaining, Fade gave a cold snort. He looked at Hulk, and said, "Why? Are you going to arrest me and avenge Brayden, Hulk? It seems that the previous lesson was not enough!" As he recalled what happened last time, Hulk couldn't help but be anxious. An instinctive sense of fear developed inside of him. He immediately shook his head and denied, "Mr. Chen, no. I dare not to lay a finger on you." "Afraid?" Fade grunted. He continued, "Since you're afraid, then accompany me to Hall 1. I am really interested to see how strong these revenge seeking Jade City martial artists are." "Ah, this..." Now, Hulk was dumbfounded. If he took Fade to Hall 1, he would definitely be regarded as a spy when the two parties had a collision. At the thought of more than a dozen senior masters in Jade City martial arts society pressing on his Flaming Clan, Hulk felt tremendously pressured. He almost instinctively rejected Fade. However, when he turned his head and met Fade's cold eyes, he suddenly felt a different kind of chill in his heart and he couldn't move. "Why, are you unwilling to do so?" Fade stared at Hulk who was still hesitating, and then glanced over When Hulk saw the look in his eyes, he didn't dare to dilly-dally anymore. He nodded his head and said, "No, I am willing. I will take you to Hall 1. With that said, Hulk took Fade and walked towards Hall 1. Behind them, Diego, Sebastian, Habib, and the others all looked at Fade in shock. They couldn't help but tag along to see what would happen next in Hall 1. At the same time, there were more than a dozen influential martial artists in Hall 1. They were all sitting at a round table. These people were part of the Titan Studio in Jade City's martial art society. They were considered true masters in their arts. As usual, the top of the chains was usually smaller in quantity compared to the base. Even though they were fewer in numbers than Hall 2, their strength was unparalleled. Even Habib was not a match. At this time, these people looked a little bored at the two absent seats and started discussing, "What's the matter, why haven't Mr. Xu and Mr. Wan come back yet?" A man asked, "Is there something going on in Hall 2? They mentioned that someone was making trouble just now" another man said. "Hehe, what can happen? There are already dozens of martial artists in Hall 2, plus Mr. Xu and Mr. Wan No one will be able to defeat them one of them said. "If nothing happened, why are they not back yet? I don't want to waste my time here,' someone exclaimed. "If you want to leave, then, leave. Anyway, there are so many of us who want to avenge Young Master Chiu so we have the numbers we need. If you leave, it will be fine" a man sneered, "You..." The man was angry. The atmosphere in Hall 1 was a bit tense, and the quarrel was getting more and more violent. At this time, an elder wearing a tunic suit coughed and said solemnly, "That's enough. They are back." Everyone heard two footsteps approaching, and they immediately stopped arguing. They looked at the entrance to the conference room in unison. The door was pushed open, and Hulk walked in first As they saw the familiar figure, many people in the room suddenly began to speak. "Mr. Wan, why did it take so long?" "Who is the troublemaker? How was it?" "Mr. Wan, why is your expression a little troubled?" :
Chapter 1022 Amidst the crowd's discussion, Fade, who was behind Hulk. Immediately walked in. They were initially in an uninterrupted discussion, but they were stunned as soon as they saw Fade's figure. Their chattering stopped abruptly and they cast a strange look at Fade, "Who is this kid?" A man asked. "What's the matter, Mr. Wan? Why did you bring him here?" Another man asked unhappily. "How about Mr. Xu. Where is he?" Among the sea of doubts, the elder in the tunic suit looked at Hulk and said with a grave tone, "Hulk, this man is..." The expression on Hulk's face changed and he didn't know how to answer. However, at this moment, the corner of Fade's mouth curled into a smile. He glanced at the people present, and mocked, "You all keep saying that you want to avenge Brayden, yet when I come to you, you didn't even realize. Isn't this ridiculous? "Huh!" They couldn't help but be taken aback upon hearing Fade's statement. They all felt a little stunned, Soon after, everyone recovered and looked at Fade with a gloomy expression "Kid, you're talking nonsense here. Do you know who we are?" A man asked "You said we are discussing you? Could you be Fade Chen? "Hulk, what is going on?" Someone asked. Amidst the voices, Fade replied, "Yes, I am Fade Chen, the enemy you are all looking for As soon as that remark came out, everyone present was shocked, and they couldn't hide their surprise. They threw a vicious look at Fade. "Boy, you are Fade? You're courting death! One of them exclaimed. "It's you who injured Brayden? You should kneel and beg for forgiveness now" a man yelled The yelling continued. Then, the elderly man in a tunic suit coughed. He stared at Hulk and asked in a deep voice, "Hulk, who on earth is this man? What is going on?" "Master Song, I, I just. Hulk didn't know how to answer, his face was full of hesitation. But at this moment, right behind them. Diego, Sebastian, Habib, and other people from Hall 2 appeared at the entrance of Hall 1. When everyone saw them, they couldn't help but be distracted by them, and said, "Mr. Xu, you are back!" Diego came in and bowed to everyone. Maxwell, the elderly man in a tunic suit, huskily stated, "Hulk is unwilling to speak. Diego, why don't you tell us what happened?" Speaking of this, Diego couldn't help but feel the resentment in his heart. He glared at Fade, then dragged Sebastian, Habib and the others in, and began telling the crowd what had happened in Hall 2. According to Diego, Fade was an extremely arrogant man. He brought some people along and vented his anger on Kayden. Not only that, but he also beat Habib violently, knocked Sebastian to the ground, and also broke one of Diego's arms. In the end, he came to Hall 1 with Hulk, and he arrogantly declared that he would defeat all the people in Hall 1. Diego's narration had created an uproar in Hall 1. The top martial artists started to shout one by one. "How dare you be so arrogant" a man said. "You did not respect Titan Studio nor Jade City's martial art society, another man yelled. "Boy, kneel down and apologize now, one of them said. Amidst the chaos, Maxwell turned gloomy. He looked at Hulk and said, "Hulk, is that right? You betrayed us." Hulk's face tightened, he nodded his head and bowed as he tried to explain, "Master Song, I, I just... In the end, before Hulk could finish explaining himself, Fade burst into laughter and grabbed Hulk by his collar. He forced Hulk to stand up and said, "You don't have to apologize to them. I know a sinking ship when I see one and this group is definitely one. You don't have to seek forgiveness." "You." At this time, everyone was focused on Fade. Their expression was stern, and they were clenching their fist tightly On the other hand, Hulk was about to cry. After all, Fade basically confirmed him as a traitor. Everyone had the impression that Hulk was Fade's accomplice. After this, Hulk would probably lose his foothold in Jade City's martial arts world. For a while, Hulk looked sorrowful, he was about to cry Fade saw through Hulk's troubled thoughts. He glanced at him, and continued, "Don't cry, you can follow me. I can guarantee that your Flaming Clan will flourish in Jade City. As for the group of good-for-nothings in front of us, I will just destroy them." Fade's arrogant words caused the people present to become furious, and they all stood up. "Kid, you are too arrogant" a man said. "Let's kill him and avenge Young Master Chiu" a man cheered. "What an idiot, another man said. The masters in Hall 1 shouted sternly. Diego, Sebastian, Habib and the others who tagged along all had a gloating expression on their faces. They were obviously rejoicing for Fade's misfortune, it was written all over their face. They couldn't wait to see Fade being besieged and punished by the masters in Hall 1. At this time, Maxwell stared at Fade. He snorted and solemnly said, "Young man, it's good to have some courage, but if you are overly courageous, you will become ignorant." "You've hurt Young Master Chiu before. This time, Master Chiu has ordered me to let me solve this matter" Maxwell said sternly. One would realize that his connection with Titan Studio was significant "Originally, I only intended to catch the culprit, bring him back to Titan Studio, and teach him a lesson," Maxwell continued, "But now, you've gone overboard. "I must give you a lesson! Otherwise, you will think too highly of yourself." Master Song glared at Fade, then waved his hand and ordered coldly, "Grab him! In an instant, four men rushed from behind Maxwell towards Fade. They were aggressive, and it was clear that they intended to cause harm. When Fade saw this, he didn't dodge to hide. Instead, he laughed and shook his head. "I've defeated Diego and Hulk, both of whom are mid-tier Black Level martial artists. Do you think these four entry level Black Level martial artists could be my opponent? "You." The four thugs were furious and they wanted to attack Fade. However, before they could even attack him, Fade launched an attack first. He moved his figure in a flash towards them, they couldn't even comprehend his speed and weren't able to react in time. Soon after, there were several "cracking" sounds. The four of them couldn't even see the attack that was directed towards them. Then, all four men fell to the ground, spitting up blood. They no longer had the power to move. Whereas Fade, with the speed of lighting, returned to his original place unharmed Under such circumstances, the masters in Hall 1 could not help being surprised and their faces showed a look of astonishment. However, their response was also quick. Maxwell's face sank. With a clap of his hands, several self-proclaimed martial art masters stood up. They rushed towards Fade and surrounded him and were ready to attack
Chapter 1023 The people who were going to fight with Fade were the most powerful people in Jade City's martial arts world. Almost all of them were around the middle stage of Black Level. All these people charged towards Fade at the same time, bringing with them a tremendous momentum that made the people in Hall 2 take a few steps back in fear Maxwell and the others curved their lips upwards slightly, watching triumphantly as the fight unfolded. "Take note not to kill him. Master Chiu would want to deal with him personally when he gets out of prison!" Maxwell exhorted. After hearing this, the martial artists laughed with confidence. "Maxwell don't worry, we know what we are doing, a man said. "Kid, I will only cripple you but will not kill you another man said to Fade. "Haha, what an arrogant guy, now you know what fear is!" The crowd cheered them on. Sebastian, Habib, and Kayden watched the fight with twinkles in their eyes. At that moment, they couldn't care about the pain in their bodies; they were trembling with excitement. However, Hannah and the other girls looked worried. They placed their hands on their chests, looking extremely anxious. Kayden looked at Hannah and the other girls, gritted his teeth, and said, "Hannah, now you know what real power is. You have refused me earlier. Now, it's too late to even regret it." Hannah's face sank and her expression became a little uneasy. However, when she thought of Fade's confident words just now. Hannah felt certain of it and said firmly, "Fade will not be defeated" "He will not be defeated? Would you believe that kind of nonsense yourself?" Kayden sneered with a look of hatred. "Why don't you start thinking about how please me in bed when that kid loses the fight. "You... Shameless!" Hannah's expression changed drastically as she glared at Kayden. Kayden licked his lips and scanned Hannah up and down as he said with a grin, "Is this shameless? When we get in bed later, there will be more waiting for you! I can hardly wait now. After giving Kayden a fierce look, Hannah ignored him. She focused her gaze on Fade, with determination and expectation in her eyes. When Kayden saw this, he sneered, "I'll let you have one last hope, and then watch your hope shatter before your own eyes." At this time, several people had already besieged Fade. These people were leaders of their sects, and their strengths were higher than the previous group of men who tried to attack Fade. Moreover, knowing what had happened earlier, they were more cautious. They kept a good distance between each other. After they exchanged a look at each other, they began to attack "Taste my Flaming Fist!" One man charged forward. "Look at my Killing Palm another man roared. "Tornado Kick!" A man yelled, Amidst the clamor, these martial artists bombarded Fade with their own sect's signature moves Undeniably, when these martial artists of Black Level showed their true strengths, they were terrifying The Flaming Fist whizzed out with a burning vigor, as if it could light up the air. On the other hand, the Killing Palm might seem gentle, but the moves were very strange, exuding a different kind of inner strength, and it was powerful As for the Tornado Kick, Just by the howling of the wind, it was enough to feel its formidable power. All the energies and moves from the martial artists converged and landed on Fade. Everyone thought that Fade would be defeated, and might even die. Fade, who was in the center of the siege, sudden his head and sighed. He said with a disdainful expression, "Everyone's move looks pretty good, but they are all just for show. Is this the strength of the martial artists from the so called Titan Studio of Jade City? It's ridiculous." "Kid, you're courting death! "Kill him!" "Such an arrogant person. He is still in oblivion at this moment" one of the men said. Fade's words outraged them even more. Their attacks grew in intensity. However, at that moment, Fade moved. With his opponents' attacks before his eyes, Fade narrowed his eyes and raised his hands. Once he locked an opponent's movement accurately, he returned the attack at lightning speed. "Bang!" Fade's fist attack blasted against the Flaming Fist. It was no fancy punch, but the immeasurable force that came with it knocked the opponent out directly "Snap!" Fade used a palm attack against the opponent's killing Palm. Before the other party could react, Fade's majestic power snapped the opponent's palm and broke it instantly with the sound of bone cracking. "Boom!" Fade struck a punch in response to the Tornado Kick. The punch hit the opponent's abdomen and sent him flying. After a round of crackling and rumbling. In the blink of an eye, the martial artists who were attacking Fade, had all but fallen to the ground, wailing in pain. The scene stunned everyone who was present. They turned towards Fade with astonished expressions. They couldn't imagine the outcome at all. Those Black Level martial artists were all defeated. Moreover, Fade defeated them with only one attack each. "This this... A man stuttered in shock. "What the hell happened?" "I'm not mistaken, am 1? This kid, he, he won!" While everyone else was utterly surprised by the outcome, Maxwell, who was smiling initially, suddenly turned gloomy. He stared at Fade and his bony palms slapped the armrests as his anger surged. "You, how could you... The furious Maxwell slapped the armrest, and stood up abruptly As he stood up, his strength which was at the late stage of Black Level exploded. A gust of wind emerged from nowhere, casting an oppressive atmosphere at the scene "Master Song is enraged!" "Master Song is about to attack, what would the outcome be? "Master Song would surely win. He was a direct disciple of Master Chiu back then, unlike the others who have barely gotten acquainted with Titan Studio." said a man. "However, the kid's strength seems a bit eerie. Maxwell is at the last stage of Black Level, which is only slightly higher than those martial artists earlier. I am afraid..." "There's nothing to be afraid of. You haven't reached this level, so you won't understand. In the later stage, any small advancement would make a huge difference. Maxwell has entered the late stage of Black Level for decades. He would be able to defeat this kid, a man said confidently, Amidst the debates, Maxwell, who had gotten up, was about to attack Fade. However, at that moment Fade stamped his feet and leapt up, then landed beside Maxwell. Next, before Maxwell could react, Fade slapped his palm on Maxwell's shoulder, and said calmly. "You are old now. Just sit down. You wouldn't want to hurt yourself."
Chapter 1024 The turn of events surprised the martial artists who were at the scene. glared at Fade fiercely and barked through gritted teeth. "Bold fanatic, how dare you do that to Master Song!" "What an arrogant guy. Get down to your knees now a man yelled. "ignorant kid! How dare you do that in front of Master Song, you are courting death" one of them mocked, Amidst the commotion, Maxwell felt Fade's palm on his shoulder. Maxwell's face sank. With a cold expression, he said, "Remove your hand, As he spoke, Maxwell readjusted his energy and began to stand up. He was angry. However, Maxwell had only managed to rise a little when Fade pressed him down hard with his right hand. Suddenly, Maxwell felt a huge force coming towards him It was a force that Maxwell couldn't resist at all. He was forced to sit back down on the chair. "I have said, you should sit down!" Fade repeated. Fade's words were indifferent, but the strength from his palm made Maxwell feel an unquestionable sense of oppression "You." Maxwell gritted his teeth and stared at Fade. At the same time, he tried to break free from Fade's palm, Remove your hand Maxwell shook his body, and a wave of energy burst out from him, as he tried to shake Fade's palm away. However, when his energy hit fiercely on Fade's palm, it had no effect on Fade at all. "This, how could it be." Maxwell was shocked. He was a little surprised with the situation. At this time, Fade's face had turned cold. He shook his head disappointedly and said, "I've told you to stop moving. Otherwise, I will not be so polite anymore." After saying that, Fade lifted his palm slightly, and then patted it down on Maxwell's shoulder again. It was only a simple move, but Maxwell's expression changed drastically. His body began to tremble. This was because he felt a strong force pressing down on his shoulder. He couldn't bear it and bent over involuntarily Maxwell gritted his teeth and used all his strength in a desperate attempt to resist Fade's oppression The martial artists around them expected to see Maxwell teach Fade a lesson. Instead, they witnessed how Fade had held Maxwell down on the chair with a palm, and Maxwell could barely move. They were dumbfounded. In an instant, someone urged curiously "Master Song, why don't you make a move yet?" This kid is too arrogant Master Song, you have to teach him a lesson said another man "You arrogant man, take your palm off Master Song's shoulder now," someone demanded. In the midst of all the noise, Maxwell's cheeks grew redder and he looked terrible. In the end, Maxwell couldn't withstand the huge force. The solid wooden chair that he was sitting on was crushed abruptly. Maxwell stumbled and sat on the ground, his cheeks flushed. A strand of blood could be seen from the corner of his mouth Everyone was petrified. "Master Song, are you all right!" "Kid, what did you do to Master Song?" "How dare you.." Someone yelled. The other martial artists were shouting. Some couldn't help but dash towards Fade. However, at time, Maxwell, who was sitting listlessly on ground, panted heavily and shouted, "Don't do anything. Stop now." When the martial artists heard Maxwell's order, they stopped in their tracks and looked curious. Fade raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at these angry martial artists who were about to attack him, and said lightly, "You have saved your own lives today" "You." The martial artists looked angry and wished they could punch Fade's face However, when they were about to do so, Maxwell shouted again, "Stop all your actions. Do not do anything to him." Fade nodded to Maxwell and said, "You are smart. In that case, I will spare your life. Go back and tell the people of Titan Studio, if this happens again, I will not be that polite again." After saying that, Fade turned to leave. Some were still angry and tried to stop Fade. However, Maxwell commanded coldly, "Let him go. Suddenly, no one dared to stop Fade. Diego, Sebastian, Habib and the others could only look at him with hatred and they watched him walk away. They could not stop him. Fade left with Hannah and the other girls. In Hall 1, people gradually spoke up again. The crowd gathered in front of Maxwell. They helped him up and chattered non stop. "Master Song, are you okay, please get up." "Master Song, why did you let that kid go? That was too easy for him" another man said "Yes, Master Chiu has ordered us to avenge Young Master Chiu. If that's the case, I'm afraid it would be hard to explain to him!" One man said worriedly. "Master Song, that kid must have not gone far, we should catch up with him." Many voiced their opinions, and among them. Diego, Sebastian, and Habib looked particularly resentful. They wished they could rush out and stop Fade. However, right at that time, Maxwell glanced at everyone and roared, his face was terribly gloomy, "Shut up, all of you." "If you want to die, you can go after him" Maxwell pointed outside and shouted sharply. The scene fell into silence. No one dared to speak. However, their expressions were of confusion and puzzlement Maxwell understood their thoughts and explained through gritted teeth, "That Fade's strength far exceeds all your expectations. Even I am no match for him." "What! How come?" "Master Song, you are a master at the late stage of Black Level, how could you not be that kid's opponent?" "Then, is that kid at the peak stage of Black Level? That's quite impossible." "He is so young. How could he possibly reach the peak stage of Black Level?" An old master said. No one believed that Fade was that strong For a moment, there were voices of shock and doubt everywhere. Master Song touched the blood at the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Are you doubting what I said? Or do you think that my strength is not as good as yours?" While speaking, Maxwell smashed a chair into pieces. With that, the martial artists came back to their senses. They were extremely shocked. Indeed, Fade was a man who could defeat so many masters in an instant. He could render Maxwell motionless with just one palm. How could he be an ordinary man? They were all blinded by his appearance in the first place. They had believed that Fade was just a nobody and didn't want to believe that he was better than them. Therefore, they found all kinds of excuses to defend themselves even though the truth was right before their eyes. Maxwell's words had banished all their excuses. They had to accept the fact that Fade was a master, and his martial arts skills had far surpassed theirs.
Chapter 1025 The scene was silent all of a sudden. No one spoke. At this moment, they were still in great shock that Fade was at the peak stage of Black Level. They couldn't bring themselves to believe that Diego. Sebastian, and Habib had hateful looks on their faces. They were shocked yet unwilling to let Fade go. They clenched their fists repeatedly but they could not exert much force. Someone broke the silence, "Since Fade is so powerful, should we just forget about our revenge?" Hearing this, Maxwell's expression turned cold. With a hint of hatred on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we can't just forget about it. How can we, the Titan Studio of Jade City, be bullied by an outsider." "We must take revenge." Maxwell said harshly. "How should we do that? We can't find anyone competent enough to fight him, not even in Titan Studio. Moreover, even someone at the peak stage of Black Level is not necessarily his match' a man said. Maxwell gritted his teeth and said, "If the masters at the peak stage of Black Level can't beat him, we'll find someone from the Earth Level." *The Earth Level!" The martial artists were shocked. Suddenly, they became a little excited at the thought of something, "Master Song, did you mean Master Chiu who is at Earth Level?" A man asked. "Master Chiu is the only Earth Level master in Titan Studio, right? "Is Master Chiu going to take matters into his own hands?" Someone asked. Maxwell said, "Master Chiu is cultivating his skills now, and he is not far from a breakthrough. When he re-emerges, it will be the end for the kid." Hearing this, the martial artists present were both surprised and delighted. "If Master Chiu is going to break through again, then, wouldn't he reach the middle stage of Earth Level?" A man asked excitedly "The middle stage of Earth Level, that's a real master" another man added. "I can't imagine what kind of power he would have at that stage." "I can't wait to see Master Chiu teach that kid a lesson" commented another. However, at this time, Fade had sent Hannah and the other girls back to the school. He drove back to the hotel after that. After a day of rest, Fade got up early. He felt revitalized and began to get busy at work again. At present, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Sincere Medicine Center had ventured into Jade City. Business development was going in full swing for this branch office. Furthermore, their business was thriving every day. Even Fade, a guy who didn't care about the business, had to help Lily deal with the company's affairs, as he wanted to stabilize the branch's business in Jade City as soon as possible. After a busy morning, when Fade was just about to take a break after his lunch, Titas turned up at Sincere Medicine Center Fade greeted him immediately, "Sergeant Xu, what brings you here? Are you here to check on my pharmacy?" Titas smiled and waved his hand, "Quit joking Mr. Chen. I came here today to bring you good news." "Good news, what good news?" Fade was a little curious. Titas did not say it directly, but took out an envelope and handed it to Fade. "This is." Fade took the envelope, opened it and found out that it was an invitation card. An invitation card?" Fade was a little surprised. He glanced at Titas and smiled, "Who could it be to let you send an invitation to me in person." While speaking, Fade opened the card and scanned the content. Then, his expression changed. He replied with a little surprise, "This, this is an invitation card from the Chief Executive." Titas smiled and said, "Yes, this is the invitation card from the Chief Executive. Mr. Chen and Miss Wel are invited to attend a dinner at the Government House tonight" "The Chief Executive invited us to the dinner, but why?' After the surprise, Fade couldn't help but felt a little curious. Titas smiled but did not reveal anything. He said to Fade, "I don't know the Chief Executive's thoughts. However, Mr. Chen, you will find out when you are there tonight" Fade smiled and kept the invitation, "If that's the case, I'll go tonight "Alright, Mr. Chen, see you tonight, Titas replied and waved goodbye immediately. After Titas left, Fade didn't continue his break but went to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's branch office. He found Lily busying herself at work. "Why are you here?" Lily was a little surprised to see Fade's arrival. "Aren't you busy at your pharmacy? Fade couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he saw Lily eating lunch while doing her work. He walked over, took away the pen in Lily's hand, and said, "Sister Lily, you should focus when you eat. Lily smiled at Fade's action and said, "It's fine. I need to get some work done, so I'll do it while I eat." "By the way, Fade, you are not here to supervise me eating, are you?" Lily picked up her lunch box, and joked with Fade as she ate. Although Lily was smiling, she looked slightly exhausted. Fade couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He reached out inadvertently and stroked Lily's cheek lightly as he said gently, "Sister Lily, thanks for all the hard work." Lily couldn't help but be stunned by his gentle gesture. In an instant, her eyes were a little red, but she immediately lowered her head and buried her face in the lunch box. Then, she said as calmly as possible, "I'm fine. I'm not exhausted. I'm used to it already." Fade felt even more distressed when he heard the words. He reached out and took Lily's lunch away. Then, he took Lily's hand and stood up as he said, "Sister Lily, follow me." *Fade, where are we going?' Lily was surprised. "Let's go eat something good" Fade said solemnly. Lily said, "It's too troublesome. My lunch is specially packed and is very nutritious. Besides, still have work to do in the afternoon. It would take up too much time if we go out to eat" Fade did not listen to Lily's excuse. He took her hand and walked straight out of the office, saying, "Sister Lily, no matter what you say today, you have to listen to me. Let's go out and have a good meal" "Okay, okay, I'll go out with you, but can you slow down? I can't keep up with you" Lily smiled Fade slowed down when he heard this. Then, Fade drove Lily to Queen Avenue, the most prosperous district in Jade City After parking the car, Fade chose a luxurious local restaurant. He ordered a sumptuous meal and enjoyed the food with Lily. They took an hour and a half to finish all the delicious food. After the meal, Lily checked the time and said to Fade, "Since we have finished eating, we should head back now." Fade shook his head and said to Lily instead, "Sister Lily, let's go shopping at the nearby mall. "But, there's still some work in the office, 1.." Lily hesitated. Fade took Lily's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Lily, I won't delay the company's affairs. Moreover, I have something more important for you to do!
Chapter 1026 "Something more important?" Lily looked at Fade with confusion. Fade said, "I'll tell you later. Let's go to the mall to buy some clothes." Before Lily could respond, Fade took her to a premium boutique in the mall. Fade beckoned to the sales assistant and asked, "Where is the evening gown section? Take us over to see. "Mister and Miss, the evening gown section is here, please come with me, the sales assistant said with a smile and led Fade and Lily to the evening gown section Lily would have guessed it by now. She looked at Fade and said, "Evening gown? Is there a dinner to attend?" Fade smiled and said, "I'll tell you after we buy the evening gown. "You." Lily looked at Fade and smiled. She did not pursue the matter further. When they arrived at the evening gown section, Fade's eyes lit up. There were all kinds of gorgeous gowns that one could only see on celebrities on TV and in movies. Each piece of the gowns was exquisitely made. Fade was stunned momentarily. On the other hand, Lily's eyes sparkled when she looked at all the gorgeous evening gowns in front of her. Fade smiled when he saw Lily's expression and he urged, "Sister Lily, go try them on and see which one you like." "Miss, what kind of evening gown do you like, I can recommend them to you. We have... The sales assistant began to introduce the gowns professionally, and Lily carefully chose a few pieces. Fade proceeded to the men's section. Compared with the variety and complexity of the women's clothing, there were fewer choices for men's clothing. Most of them were basically dark colored suits. Fade gestured for a sales assistant to help him get a suit that would make him look relatively matured. After trying the suit on, he thought it felt good. Therefore, Fade decided to keep the suit on and went straight to the women's sect to show Sister Lily so that she could give him some advice After Fade had chosen his outfit, Lily had not even started to try on the gowns. After all, a woman would usually take longer to choose an outfit compared to a man "Sister Lily, how do I look in this suit?" Fade asked aloud. He turned one round so that Lily could take a look. Hearing his voice, Lily looked up. Her eyes lit up immediately, revealing a hint of surprise. Even the sales assistant next to Lily was a little surprised when she looked towards Fade. The sales assistant's eyes flickered, and a blush appeared on her face. After Fade had changed into the formal suit, his image and temperament improved tremendously. He looked more energetic, even as good looking as the celebrities on TV. Lily especially was used to seeing Fade dressing up casually. The sudden change rendered Lily speechless from the surprise. Fade looked at Lily's stunned expression and waved his hands in front of Lily He said, "Sister Lily, why don't you say something. Are you stunned by my handsome look? Lily came back to her senses. She did not complain at Fade's comment but smiled and nodded, "You look really handsome indeed. "Haha! Sister Lily, this is the first time you praise me for being handsome." Fade smiled and then urged, "Sister Lily, then you should go and change your clothes. I also want to see how you would look when you wear an evening gown Lily nodded and went on to choose the gowns. A moment later, Lily came out in a black evening gown. She twirled in front of Fade, then asked, "How is it? Do I look good in this?" Fade glanced over at Lily's figure. He had to admit that Sister Lily had a good figure and appearance. She could wear anything and still look good. The black gown itself looked a little old-fashioned, but Lily carried it well and gave it a refreshing look. However, Fade was still dissatisfied, he commented while touching his chin, "You look pretty, but something's missing." "What's missing?" Lily looked at herself in the mirror, feeling pretty good. Fade thought for a while. After a few seconds, he realized something and came to Lily's side. He leaned close to Lily's ear and whispered, "Sister Lily, I think this gown is too conservative." "Conservative?" Lily was taken aback. Fade said immediately, "Sister Lily, didn't you notice the female celebrities on TV? It is common for celebrities to bare some of their body parts. Your gown is too conservative." When Lily heard the words, her pretty face blushed. She glared at Fade and said, "What were you paying attention to when you watched the TV? You are a pervert! Fade explained with a smile, "Sister Lily, I'm not a pervert. It's a pity as this gown has covered your perfect figure. It doesn't show off your good features at all!" Hearing Fade's sweet flattery, the corners of Lily's mouth turned upwards inadvertently. She smiled and said, "Then, let's change into another one. Subsequently, Lily chose another gown. She entered the fitting room and began to change A few minutes later, Lily emerged in a new gown. This time, Fade couldn't keep his eyes off her. This was because the gown that Sister Lily had worn this time was exactly the kind that a celebrity would wear. The gown almost only covered the key parts of the body. Her fair skin and beautiful figure were well accentuated. At that moment, Lily looked even more beautiful than the actress on TV. No wonder Fade could only stare. Even the sales assistant's eyes lit up. She couldn't help but compliment, "Miss, you look absolutely stunning in this gown." "Thank you!" Lily nodded, then she turned to Fade and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" Fade wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, nodded quickly, and said, "You look so beautiful." *Then I will wear this gown Lily said. However, Fade's expression changed when he heard that. He shook his head quickly. "No, Sister Lily, you can't wear this gown. "No, why? Didn't you just say that I look beautiful in this?' Lily felt a little strange. Fade scratched his head. He leaned over to Lily and whispered, "You do look pretty in this. However, I don't feel com able at the thought of how the people at the dinner would look at you." Lily was taken aback. She stared at Fade and said, 'I didn't expect you to be the jealous type." "Sister Lily, I'm not being jealous. It's just that if you are being gawked at by strangers, it doesn't feel right" Fade said in all seriousness
Chapter 1027 For some reason, Lily felt a sense of warmth. She smiled in delight. She said to Fade immediately, "Then I should change into a more conservative gown." After saying that, Lily said to the sales assistant, "I don't want this, let's choose another one." However, as soon as she finished speaking, Fade said, "We'll take this one too, but we will buy another one as well." "Take this as well? Why? Fade, didn't you just say that you don't want me to wear this gown?" Lily was puzzled. Fade touched his head, he smiled cheekily and leaned closer to Lily, then whispered, "I don't like it when you wear it and be seen by other men. However, would very much like it if you were to wear it for me." When Lily heard the words, she was stunned. She rolled her eyes at Fade and mocked, "Men!" Even though she said so, Lily took the gown and proceeded to choose another one. Upon seeing that, Fade couldn't help but begin to fantasize. He thought of Sister Lily dancing in front of him wearing this gown. In that instant, Fade felt his heart race and his clothes suddenly felt a little tight. Hence, Fade turned around and asked the sales assistant for a glass of water to suppress his desire. When Fade returned from drinking, Lily had already entered the fitting room to change into another gown. Fade was waiting outside the fitting room when a hot-looking sales assistant approached, leading a middle-aged woman into the fitting room. The woman looked like another customer, After waiting for about five minutes, Lily still hadn't come out. Fade felt a little strange and started to wonder what Lily was doing in the fitting room. However, Fade thought of the continue waiting. of a woman's gown, and decided to Another ten minutes later, Lily still did not come out. This time, Fade was a little anxious. He got up and walked towards the fitting room, and looked around at the entrance Seeing this, the sales assistant serving Lily stopped Fade quickly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. This is the ladies fitting room. Men are not allowed to enter." Fade said, "I just want to see why my friend hasn't come out yet, it's been so long." The sales assistant smiled and sald, "Sir, it takes a longer time for a woman to change her outfit. Please wait a moment." Fade frowned and turned around, ready to go back and wait. However, at this moment, he heard something. His eyes widened and he turned towards the direction of the fitting room and yelled, "Sister Lily, are you inside?" He seemed to have heard Lily's cry just now. Although the voice was very soft and was blocked off almost immediately, Fade was sharp enough to catch the sound. "Sir, you can't make loud noises here. Please quiet" the sales assistant stepped forward to stop Fade. However, Fade was already a little anxious. He shouted again, "Sister Lily, can you hear me? Please answer me." There was still silence from inside. There was no response. This time around, Fade was really anxious. He glared at the sales assistant, pushed her away, and rushed into the fitting room There were many small cubicles inside the fitting room. Fade didn't know which one Lily had gone into. However, it was an emergency, so Fade couldn't care less. He searched every single cubicle in the fitting room. He pushed open every door from the entrance, to check the situation inside. Fortunately, this was a premium boutique. There were not many customers, and even fewer patrons on working days. Therefore, several cubicles that Fade had searched were vacant Fade continued to check. The moment he opened the sixth door, a dart shot out from inside, straight towards Fade's chest. The dart came at close range and lightning speed. For ordinary people, it was almost impossible to dodge. However, it was a small matter for Fade. When Fade saw the dart, his body immediately reacted. He turned his body to the side and the dart missed his chest At the same time, Fade reached out his right hand, pinched his fingers in the air, and caught the flying dart. As soon as he did that, Fade took a closer look at the situation in the fitting room Lily, who was putting on her evening gown, was struggling as her mouth was being covered by another woman. The woman who held Lily, was the sexy sales assistant, Teresa, who had entered the fitting room earlier. When Teresa saw that Fade had caught her dart in the air, she was taken aback for a moment. She came back to her senses quickly, rubbed her palm on her waist, and threw another attack towards Fade. "Leavel" Fade's eyes widened with a hint of anger on his face. He bellowed and then slammed his fist on Teresa. With a "bang". Fade's fist landed on Teresa's abdomen directly. The powerful force instantly made her scream and slump to the floor, clutching her abdomen. As a result, her hand that was covering Lily's mouth came loose. Lily was breathing heavily. There was a look of horror on her face when she said, "Fade, she, she is a bad person Fade pulled Lily into his arms and comforted, "Sister Lily, it's okay. I'm here, she can't hurt you. Teresa, who was on the ground saw the opportunity. She arched her body and made an attempt to escape However, the second she moved, Fade kicked her back into the cubicle. She slammed violently onto the wall of the fitting room and spat a mouthful of blood. Her face turned pale instantly "Who are you? Why did you do this to Sister Lily?" Fade stared at Teresa with anger in his eyes and asked harshly. Teresa blinked and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm just a sales assistant. Just now, I was helping this lady..! With a "crack", Fade twisted Teresa's left arm and bent it into an awkward angle Then, he said coldly. If you don't tell me the truth, I will break all your limbs." This time, Teresa flashed a frightened look in her eyes. She relented, "I'Ll tell you the truth." "Say it now!" Fade ordered coldly. Teresa said, "I received a mission from someone to bring a message for Miss Lily
Chapter 1028 "Who asked you to do this? What do you want to tell her? Fade asked. Teresa replied, "I don't know who the person is as they contacted me through e mail. They told me to make sure Lily does not attend tonight's banquet. If she does, she will bear the consequences of her decision." The banquet at the Government House, said Fade as his expression became stony. Immediately, he glared at Teresa and pressed further, "Are you hiding anything from us?" "No, that's all I know. Teresa quickly clarified. "I'm a member of the Starwide Gang. I'm only responsible for sending her the message. I really don't know anything else. " "Starwide Gang," repeated Fade. He knew a thing or two about that gang. After all, he had heard of the Starwide Gang when he was dealing with Tiger Gang in Jade City The Titan Studio and the Tiger Gang were the martial arts forces of Jade City while the Starwide Gang was made up of ordinary people. Their combat skills were inferior to Tiger Gang. However, the Starwide Gang was greater in numbers, and they were closely affiliated with the people of Jade City. Therefore, when dealing with disputes within the common folk, the Starwide Gang was sometimes more efficient than the Tiger Gang "Get lost!" Fade could tell that she was truly just a member. Hence, she didn't know much, and Fade couldn't gain more information from her. Judging from her words, the attack on Lily must be related to the banquet at the Government House. However, the matter did not seem too serious. After all, that girl hadn't tried to kill Lily. Otherwise, Lily would have died while Fade was waiting outside for her. Thinking of that, Fade suddenly felt differently about the banquet at night. Lily, who had just regaine onsciousness, comforted Fade, "I'm fine, Fade. You don't have to worry about it." Fade blamed himself, saying, "I failed to protect you, Lily, I put you in danger" Lily shook her head in response, "Dont say that. It's not your responsibility" Immediately. Lily asked Fade, "By the way, what banquet was that woman talking about?" Fade revealed a wry smile in response. He took out the invitation card and explained to Lily, "Just now, Sergeant Xu sent me this invitation. He told me that the Chief Executive has invited us to attend the banquet tonight at the Government House." "A banquet at the Government House... Will something important happen?" Lily was a little surprised Fade shook his head and said, "Sergeant Xu didn't say anything at the time, and I'm in no position to ask." Lily fell silent Reacting to the situation, Fade inevitably decided, "Lily, why don't we stay away from this banquet?" He was really worried about Lily's safety. However, Lily shook her head quickly in response to his question. She said, "How can we not go? This is the Chief Executive's banquet! If you don't go, you will leave a bad impression on him. It's not good for our company." "I would rather leave a bad impression than put you in danger" Fade said. Lily refuted him, saying, "Fade, you can't think like that. Think about it from a different perspective. If we don't go, we won't ever figure out why someone tried to attack me. If that's the case, I will always be in danger. On the other hand, attending the dinner party will help us to figure out what is going on. We'll have a better shot at resolving this issue." Fade fell quiet at Lily's words. After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement. Her thinking made sense to him. Therefore, Fade nodded and said, "Then, let's go tonight. However, you must stay by my side at all times. Lily smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a kid. I know what to do. How about this? Why don't hold your hand tonight? I won't let go." "Well, that's a good idea, Fade agreed seriously to her casual suggestion. He even took the initiative to hold Lily's hand immediately. Warmth blossomed in Lily's heart. She did not remove her hand from Fade's. After that, Fade and Lily left the mall and returned to the company with their attire for the evening's occasion. Soon, it was evening. Fade and Lily put on the clothes they had bought and drove to the Government House. As it was the residence of the Chief Executive of Jade City, the security at the Government House was top-notch. When they drove into the Government House, they went through various inspections before they were finally allowed to enter the courtyard. By the time Fade and Lily arrived, many luxury cars were already parked in the yard. At a glance, they could see many prominent figures of Jade City laughing and talking. It was a lively scene. Their arrival caught the attention of many people. After all, Fade had a good reputation in Jade City. It was due to the sudden emergence of the exhibition, and also his hot-selling Fei Magic Toner. The seafood poisoning incident had also boosted his influence tremendously. It made Fade a famous doctor among the people and helped facilitate the establishment of the Sincere Medicine Center. Therefore, the gazes of many were fixed on Fade at that moment. Nevertheless, their eyes were curious and vigilant. None of them approached Fade. After all, they were business leaders in Jade City. Although Fade's popularity had increased exponentially among the common folk, it was not a big deal to them as every one of them was a lot wealthier than Fade. Instead, was Lily, who was next to Fade, who attracted many men. They came over to say hello with a smile, as if they wanted to befriend her. Beautiful women were always the centre of attention on any occasion. However, Lily treated them indifferently. A faint nod was the most response some of them received. She even ignored some of them. As a result, the people casted strange and dissatisfied looks at Fade and Lily. However, Fade didn't care about their attitudes. After all, he was there to figure out who the Starwide Gang members were and what their intentions were. Therefore, after a brief greeting, Fade and Lily found a place in a corner by themselves and quietly observed the situation and the attendees.
Chapter 1029 As time passed, more and more guests arrived, and the scene became more and more lively. Suddenly, there was a stir in the lively scene. Everyone's eyes were looking in the same direction Noticing that, Lily and Fade looked over curiously. They saw a young woman sporting short hair walking over with a smile. The guests around her all smiled and greeted respectfully when they saw the young woman. Even the big shots who had been dismissive of Fade previously put on a respectful front, flattering even, in front of that young woman, Such a scene naturally made Fade and Lily a little curious. Lily couldn't help but ask, "Who is that? Why are they all reacting like this?" Fade frowned slightly as he stared at the young woman intently. She looked a bit familiar. However, he couldn't remember who the woman was. Just as Fade was thinking about it, the people next to him started talking. "Unexpectedly, Miss Sasha actually came to this meeting," a man said. "Sasha is the eldest daughter of the Li family, and she is very much liked by her grandfather. Isn't it obvious that she would attend this occasion?" Another man answered. "That's right, Miss Sasha rarely attends such events recently," the man said, Fade and Lily immediately understood when they overheard the discussion The young woman was Sasha, the granddaughter of the richest man in Jade City, Fenrir Li. She was the daughter of Martin Li. As the richest man in Jade City, the Li family had tremendous influence. As the eldest daughter of the Li family, Sasha was loved greatly by her grandfather. She was also a very capable person. Hence, she naturally attracted everyone's attention. It was no wonder that Sasha became the centre of attention as soon as she appeared. Looking at Sasha, Lily nodded slightly. She began thinking to herself. The Chief Executive had invited so many businessmen, and even the eldest daughter of the Li family. She wondered what was going on However, at that moment, Fade's mind was on something else. He still remembered that a year ago, when he had been returning from Hanover City to the Cloud Clan to learn about the Cloud-reaching Skill, he had met Miss Sasha on the mountain. At that time, Miss Sasha had attempted to coerce Donovan, the guardian of Cloud Clan, to treat her grandfather's illness. However, Fade had stopped her. There had been a conflict between them. In the end, Sasha's subordinate, Uncle Fenrir, died in Fade's hands. With that thought in mind, Fade suddenly felt that the air around him had become heated. He looked up to see everyone's eyes on him. The reason was because Miss Sasha was walking towards him. Lily was both curious and nervous. She tugged the corner of Fade's clothes, and said, "Sasha is coming over, what is she going to do? How do we respond?" Fade's complexion was slightly stony. He gently squeezed Lily's hand, as he said, "Lily, don't worry. No matter what she wants to do, you don't have to be afraid as long as I'm here." At that moment, Sasha stood before them. With a smile on her face, she looked at Lily and said, "This is the manager of the famous Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, right?" A smile appeared on Lily's face. She nodded, and said, "Yes, I am Lily Wei. Hello, Miss Li. Lily politely stretched out her right hand ready to shake hands with Sasha However, Sasha's expression changed. The smile on her face disappeared. Her eyes departed from Lily, ignoring Lily's handshake, and were fixed on Fade. Stuck in an awkward situation, the smile on Lily's face stiffened. Immediately, she withdrew her outstretched arm. Looking at Fade, Sasha's eyes narrowed slightly. She deliberately lowered her voice as she said, "You must be Mr. Chen. Fade seemed to not have heard her at all. He didn't even spare her a glance. At his behaviour, Sasha's expression soured. Many of the businessmen around were indignant. They began yelling at Fade. "Fade, can't you see the lady talking to you?" "Why is President Chen doing this to Miss Sasha? "What an idiot. Just because you are doing well recently, you ignore Miss Li. think you're courting your own death" chimed in a man "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Sasha,' one of them said. Amidst the shouts, Sasha glared at Fade. Her voice grew in intensity, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?" Fade turned his gaze to Sasha, looked her up and down, and said coldly, "Do I know you?" Sasha raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "It seems that your memory is not very good. Do you still remember what happened at the Cloud Mountain a year ago? Hearing her bring up that incident, Fade was certain that Sasha had no good intentions He pretended to think for a few seconds before he suddenly said, "Oh, it turned out to be that incident! remember that I solved a problem at the time. He was a nobody, so I didn't take it seriously." As soon as the words left his mouth, Sasha's expression turned even gloomier. She glared at Fade fiercely, and she said coldly, "Although Uncle Fenrir was only a subordinate of my family, he has been in my family for more than 20 years. We will never forget what happened to him." Fade waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly, "Come on then. I am never afraid of revenge After speaking, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere became tense. The surrounding guests listened to the conversation between them, and they vaguely picked up a thing or two. Their expressions became little strange "Uncle Fenrir, I know him. He was the steward of the Li family, and he had quite a high position. I haven't seen him this year. I didn't know he had died," a man said. "Moreover, he was actually killed by someone," another man said. "Listening to their conversation, it seems that Fade killed him," a person said. "How dare he come to Jade City after he killed someone from the Li family. 1 think he is looking for death, one of them said. "Not only did he kill a man but he is so arrogant. He would certainly die" a man said. The voices of the crowd made the atmosphere between them more tense. It was like a battle waiting to start.
Chapter 1030 Fortunately, at that moment, a voice announced loudly. "The Chief Executive is here." Just like that the attention of the crowd shifted. The fire in Sasha's angry eyes died down a little. Nevertheless, she still threatened Fade before turning away, saying, "You will regret coming to Jade City. This is my family's territory As soon as those words left her mouth, Sasha plastered a smile Then, she turned around and walked towards the Chief Executive. Fade simply shrugged and left. Instead, it was Lily who seemed nervous about the situation. She asked Fade, "What is the conflict between you two?" Fade replied, saying, "Something happened when I was in Hanover City. "T-this." Lily began to panic. After all, given the position and power that the Li family possessed in Jade City it was extremely easy for the Li family to get rid of them. With that thought in mind, it was only right for Lily to feel nervous. After all, the branches of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and the Sincere Medicine Center had only just been established recently. Although their business had gradually improved, the results would only be bad if the Li family decided to suppress their business, However, Fade was not afraid at all. He squeezed Lily's hand and comforted her softly, "Lily, don't worry. It'll be fine." Under such circumstances, Lily could only suppress the emotions in her heart. She nodded, and then stepped forward with Fade to greet the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive looked like he was in his fifties. Dressed in a suit and a pair of gold glasses, he was wearing a smile on his face. He looked very kind and considerate, very much like a gentleman. At that moment, many businessmen were lining up to shake hands with the Chief Executive Of course, it was Sasha who was at the front of the line. No one dared to compete with her. The businessmen crowded around the Chief Executive as they took turns to shake his hand. The people who were behind could only watch at the crowd in front of them and sigh in disappointment. As Fade and Lily had been standing in a corner, there was no way they could squeeze through the crowd. Therefore, they didn't bother to approach the Chief Executive but instead chose to stand quietly at a faraway spot. However, to everyone's surprise, after the Chief Executive shook hands with them, he asked, "Is Mr. Chen here? Hearing the question, everyone was taken aback. They all moved away on their own accord. Spotting Fade, the Chief Executive smiled and walked over. He greeted him. saying, "Hello, Mr. Chen." Fade was taken aback too. However, he quickly recovered and hurriedly reached out to shake the Chief Executive's hand. Smiling, he greeted him, "Hello, Chief Executive." "I want to thank you for your help in the seafood poisoning incident. Here, on behalf of the citizens of Jade City, I want to thank you Mr. Chen." As he said, the Chief Executive bowed slightly to Fade and expressed his gratitude. Fade quickly helped the Chief Executive up and said, "That is what I should do." Following, they chatted for a while. However, it was nothing too deep The Chief Executive's actions shocked everyone around them. After all, the Chief Executive had taken the initiative to greet and thank Fade when Fade had just found his footing in Jade City. Even Sasha didn't receive such an honorable treatment. The crowd's perception of Fade began to change Sasha was also watching them with her gloomy eyes. She snorted and then turned to look elsewhere. After some greetings, the Chief Executive went up to the stage to officiate the commencement of the banquet. The Chief Executive said straightforwardly, "You are all prominent figures of various fields in Jade City. have invited you all to gather here for a reason." Upon hearing that the businessmen involuntarily straightened their backs. The expressions on their faces were serious. They had all attended the banquet to hear his following words. After a light cough, the chief executive said, "I think you all are aware of the seafood poisoning incident that happened some time ago." Everyone nodded as they recalled the incident. Some of them looked at Fade. The Chief Executive was speaking in a low tone and he was wearing a solemn serious expression. He warned, "I don't want to see such a thing, and it is also something that all Jade City citizens don't want to see. However, it has already happened, so we should face it positively, strive to learn from it, and never make the same mistake again." He paused as his gaze swept over the crowd. Then, he continued, "The root cause of this seafood poisoning incident is our Jade City Pharmaceutical industry' "The bankrupt Maritime Ocean Pharma is the main culprit in this poisoning incident. They have already received their due punishment, he informed. He continued, "However, after the punishment, we have to think about the next step for the Jade City Pharmaceutical industry. How can the citizens of Jade City use safe and cheap medicine, and how can we avoid the occurrence of similar problems? Also, how can we ensure that our pharmaceutical industry will develop in a healthy and sustainable manner in the long run? These are the main issues that I invite you all here to discuss together. You are all professionals in the industry. I would like to ask you to actively put forward your own views and work together to solve the problems faced by the Jade City Pharmaceutical industry." Chief Executive said. "Now, please speak up freely!" He said. The Chief Executive finished his speech and looked at everyone. At that moment, all the businessmen present had been listening to the Chief Executive's speech. Their eyes gleamed as they began to discuss. Those present were cunning businessmen. After listening to the Chief Executive's speech, they quickly grasped the key matter. The Chief Executive wanted to restructure Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. After all, the poisoning incident had affected Jade City negatively therefore the Chief Executive wanted to reorganize the development planning of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. There would naturally be opportunities for them to earn money during the development. That was the real concern of the businessmen at the scene. Maritime Ocean Pharma had been an enterprise with a market value of ten billion. As long as someone took their place, their wealth would certainly increase Thinking of that, even the billionaires became excited. After all, everyone loved money. All of a sudden, everyone began discussing enthusiastically Some bosses in the pharmaceutical industry were even more excited, expounding their thoughts and opinions to the Chief Executive, hoping to make a fortune from the industry's reform Fade's Sincere Medicine Center was also involved in the pharmaceutical industry, However, in terms of scale, it fell far from those large pharmaceutical companies. Under normal circumstances, no one would think of Fade.
Chapter 1031 However, the Chief Executive had taken the initiative to show his favor to Fade previously. At that thought, the businessmen viewed Fade in a different light. However, shortly after, they turned their gazes elsewhere. They started racking their brains to think, trying to make good suggestions to the Chief Executive and leave a good impression, However, Fade himself didn't have much thoughts about it. After briefly discussing a few points with Lily, he had nothing left to discuss. After a heated discussion, many businessmen explained their opinions and ideas to the Chief Executive. Among them, the most striking one was Sasha. Most of their opinions were rather simple, while some were slightly more elaborated. However, Sasha prepared a pamphlet of dozens of pages, which detailed her proposed reforms and measures in the pharmaceutical industry. Seeing that everyone could tell that Sasha had very likely been tipped about the news long ago. Hence, she had prepared in advance. The other businesses seemed to have no chance since the Li family was prepared for it. Many of them shook their heads and sighed, feeling like they had missed a great opportunity Meanwhile, some of them planned further ahead. They began flattering Sasha as they wanted to gain some benefits from her. However, the Chief Executive did not reveal any more information. He would only say that he would study everyone's suggestions in detail and make a decision after discussing with the experts. Everyone understood that it was impossible for the Chief Executive to make a decision during a private banquet They thought that even if a decision was made, it would surely be the Li family who would be awarded a joint role in the restructuring. After the discussion, dinner was served. Soon, it was time to bid farewell. The Chief Executive announced the end of the banquet, and the businessmen also began to leave. Fade didn't want to be squeezed with the crowd. Hence, he decided to stay for a little while before leaving. After most of the guests were gone, he got up with Lily and prepared to leave. However, just as they were about to exit the Government House, Sergeant Xu suddenly appeared by their side and said, "Mr. Chen and Miss Wei, please wait a moment." "Sergeant Xu, what's the matter?" Fade asked. Sergeant Xu looked around before he approached them, saying in a small voice, "Mr. Chen and Miss Wei, the Chief Executive would like to invite you two for a talk "The Chief Executive wants to talk to us?" Lily couldn't help feeling surprised. A look of astonishment flashed across Fade's face. However, Fade nodded immediately and said to Sergeant Xu, "Well, please lead the way." He then took Fade and Lily to the living room behind the Government House. In the living room, the Chief Executive had sat down and waited. Seeing Fade and Lily coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, are here, welcome!" At that moment, the Chief Executive's bright smile was much more genuine than the smile he had been wearing previously Fade was taken aback by his enthusiasm. He sped up his pace, stretched out his hand, shook hands with the Chief Executive, greeting him, "Chief Executive!" "Miss Wei, welcome." Immediately, the Chief Executive greeted Lily again and motioned for them to sit. As soon as they were seated, Fade didn't beat around the bushes, he asked directly, Chief Executive, what do you want to talk to us about? The Chief Executive smiled. Reaching up to prop up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he said, "You are indeed a straightforward man. I invited you over because I want your opinion on the reform of the Jade City Pharmaceutical industry. I wonder what your thoughts are regarding this matter?" Fade was shocked to hear that Recovering from his surprise, he began seriously, "I am not a businessman, nor am l a high-ranking official. I have little experience in both business and politics. Therefore, I can only talk about this from the perspective of a doctor." "The biggest problem you would face during the reformation of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry is undoubtedly the safety problem caused by the seafood poisoning incident. The first thing to do is to convince the public that the local medicines are safe and can treat diseases." Fade said. "Well, this is indeed the most serious problem at present the Chief Executive said and nodded. Fade continued, "In addition, I think the most critical issue is the balance between price and profit." "What do you mean?' The Chief Executive looked at Fade in interest. Fade said, "Citizens would definitely wish that the prices of medicine and medical care are as cheap as possible. On the contrary, a pharmaceutical company would wish for it to be as expensive as possible. After all, their goal is to gain a profit. Hence, there is a conflict of interest." "To resolve this problem we need to establish a balance between them." Fade said, Hearing his words, the Chief Executive nodded and clapped his hands, "You said it well, Mr. Chen. This is indeed the most critical issue faced by our pharmaceutical industry." "Previously, Maritime Ocean Pharma had almost monopolized 70% to 80% of the pharmaceutical market in Jade City. Therefore, they have repeatedly increased the price in the past few years, and it is almost at the limit that the public can afford: "Therefore, we hope that after the reform of the pharmaceutical industry, such problems will not arise." Fade nodded in response, saying, "The citizens will appreciate you." Hearing that the Chief Executive sighed helplessly and said, "Although my intentions are good, it is very difficult to achieve this." "Why would it be difficult?" Fade enquired. The Chief Executive replied, "Now, the Chiang family of Maritime Ocean Pharma has fallen. If we were to support another pharmaceutical company, no one can guarantee that they won't become another Maritime Ocean Pharma After all, those who came to participate are all from business families." "Even if the government takes the lead, you and I both know that Jade City is different from the other cities. We cannot afford such a large expenditure," Chief Executive said. "So, now, we have a dilemma. If we choose to cooperate with these businessmen we might tread the same path as before. However, if we don't cooperate with them, it's difficult for us to bear the cost alone," the Chief Executive said. When Fade heard his words, he was silent for a while. Then, a thought popped into his mind. He looked at the Chief Executive and asked, "What do you mean?" The Chief Executive's eyes brightened as he looked at Fade. He said, "My proposal is that the government will cooperate with you, Mr. Chen. Both Fade and Lily were surprised Lily was so excited that she almost jumped.
Chapter 1032 Fade was also taken aback. Turning his head to the Chief Executive, he asked aloud, "Why would you choose to cooperate with me?" Lily was also staring at the Chief Executive. She was wearing a nervous and confused expression. The Chief Executive simply smiled. Looking at Fade solemnly, he said, "Because I trust you, Mr. Chen." "You trust me?" Fade had not expected that answer. The only reason plausible to Fade was his medical skills, Seeing how startled Fade was, the Chief Executive laughed, "I can tell what kind of person you are from the seafood poisoning incident. You tried your best to treat the residents of Jade City and went to the Chiang family's factory to investigate the cause yourself. I believe that you will not allow the people to suffer." Fade did not expect the Chief Executive to trust him so much. He was silent for a while before he put another question forward. "To be honest, I also want to get this opportunity as I am trying to promote the development of the Chinese medicine industry" "However, compared to the other businessmen who are worth billions, the Sincere Medicine Center is far behind. I am afraid that the Sincere Medicine Center is unable to undertake such a big project," Fade said. The Chief Executive laughed before he said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry about this. The reformation of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry will not happen overnight. It will be conducted in phases within three years." To initiate this project, a few pilot projects will be established and consequently reviewed before they are promoted in Jade City. Therefore, judging by the current condition of Sincere Medicine Center, you will definitely be able to undertake this project" the Chief Executive said. He continued, "Besides, as the city government, we will not allow you to shoulder such a huge responsibility alone. We will certainly aid you as much as we can. Hearing that. Lily almost leaped up in excitement. If it was up to her, she would have immediately agreed to the Chief Executive. After all, if the deal with the city government was sealed, the development of Sincere Medicine Center in Jade City would skyrocket. However, on the other hand, Fade was rather calm. He didn't agree immediately. Instead, he looked at the Chief Executive and said, "I want to ask one last question." "Go ahead, Mr. Chen." Fade said, "I'm glad that you are supportive of the Sincere Medicine Center. However, don't you worry that I will walk the same path as the Chiang family after the Sincere Medicine Center has reaped the benefits of this deal?" That question was a sensitive one yet very realistic. As long as they were a subsidiary of the city government, anyone could turn out like the Chiang family. Fade had raised that point in at such an early stage, and it surprised the Chief Executive. However, he immediately shook his head with a smile. He said to Fade, "I believe that you will not follow their footsteps "Uh." Fade and Lily were a little surprised by how much he trusted them. After all, they were not even acquaintances. It was definitely not a sensible thing to entrust such an important project to a person you barely know! Reading the doubt on their faces, the Chief Executive smiled and said, "I trust you so much because of your character and behaviour. Also, know your identity." "Identity? What identity?" Lily asked curiously. His mouth twitched but he didn't say much. He simply spat a word, Stealth. Hearing that, Fade understood why the Chief Executive trusted him. Fade was a special instructor of Stealth, a special organization affiliated to the country. Therefore, to a certain extent, Fade could be considered a member of the country. Therefore, the Chief Executive trusted Fade. Thinking of that, Fade did not hesitate anymore. He nodded and said, "Chief Executive, regarding the reformation of Jade City's pharmaceutical industry, we are willing to cooperate with the government." "Then I hope that our cooperation goes smoothly, Chief Executive. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Fade. After that, both sides left happily. On the way back Lily was extremely excited. She was always calm and steady. However, at that moment, sitting in the passenger seat, she was like a little girl, chattering non-stop. She couldn't wait to start planning the development of Sincere Medicine Center in Jade City Fade understood Lily's excitement. After all, as a competent businesswoman, it was only natural for her to feel excited that she was able to to develop and expand her business territory. However, Fade himself was not too excited about it. He was more interested in the development of Chinese medicine instead. He had already decided that he must still work together with Otto in the upcoming project. After all, Otto Clinic was a well-known Chinese medicine center in Jade City, and his influence in Jade City was also huge. While Fade and Lily were thinking about the future development of Sincere Medicine Center, Sasha, who was sitting in a luxury car, answered a phone call and asked, "How is it, what have you discovered?" A voice answered from the other end of the phone, "Miss Sasha, we just found out that Fade spent half an hour in the Chief Executive's residence before he left." Hearing those words, Sasha's face clouded with gloom. She whispered to herself coldly, "We have done so much preparations. Is the Chief Executive still not going to choose us?" "If this is the case, then I will give him no choice. I will make sure he can only choose us," Sasha muttered. Then, she made an order coldly, saying, "Initiate our second plan. "Yes!" The other party immediately replied, and then hung up the phone. At that time, Fade and Lily were driving on a bridge. Jade City did not have much land. Much of its land was reclaimed from the sea. Therefore, there were many bridges in Jade City. They were driving on a bridge that hung over the ocean. At that moment, with the windows of the car open, the refreshing sea breeze rushed over Fade and Lily, making them feel good However, it was also at that moment that two black cars suddenly appeared on their sides. They rushed to the front of their vehicle, blocking Fade's path. "What's the matter? Fade was startled and hurriedly braked to avoid hitting them. Behind them, two more black cars stopped a couple of inches from Fade's car. Fade's car was barricaded in the middle by the four other cars. It was obvious to Fade that something was wrong. He told Lily to lean down, saying, "Lily, be careful Then, Fade immediately looked forward and backward vigilantly. The doors of all four cars opened, and eight men dressed in black walked out of the cars.
Chapter 1033 The eight men were fierce and aggressive. Four of them guarded the front and the back of the car, while the other four surrounded Fade and Lily. "Get out of the car!" A man shouted coldly. Fade did not respond. One of them took out a black pistol and shouted louder, "Get out of the car, or I'll shoot!" Fade's pupils constricted at the sight of the gun. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. The men were becoming impatient. One of them pointed at Fade's head, and warned sharply, "Get off the car now, or I'll kill you Hearing that, a murderous light appeared in Fade's eyes. He could barely stop himself from killing all of them. Yet, he quickly suppressed his killing intent. He was suddenly reminded of something and walked out of the car, asking, "What do you guys want?" "We want you to come with us." With that, two of them held down Fade, trying to force him into the black car in front On the other hand, another two were about to manhandle Lily. Seeing that, Fade appeared in a flash next to Lily. He kicked one of them over the railing of the bridge, sending him into the cold seawater below. Then, he strangled the other man and bellowed coldly, "You better not touch her, or I'll make you regret it" Fade's sudden movement shocked all of them. They could only watch in stupor, unable to react. By the time they could point their guns at Fade and Lily nervously, one of their companions was already fish food, and the other was struggling to break free from Fade's grasp. "Stop! Lay on the ground, or we will shoot. The remaining men shouted, looking extremely tense. Fade still seemed very calm. He tightened his grip around the man in his hands and managed to render the man unconscious. Then he tossed the man into the "You..!" The remaining men were furious to see this happen. They waters nonchalantly. clutched their pistols as they aimed at Fade, determined to shoot him if Fade attacked them A flash appeared in Fade's eyes. He smirked and clapped his hands together abruptly before saying stonily, "Is this how your master extends their invitation? You better show me respect, or you'll have to excuse our rudeness." The men exchanged glances. Their eyes darted back and forth as they glanced at each other. Then, one of them finally said coldly, "Get in the car." This time, they made sure not to make a move. They watched as Fade and Lily took the initiative to enter their vehicle. It was only then that the men got into the car and began driving. Sitting in the car, Fade held Lily's hand and comforted her softly, saying, "Lily, don't worry. It'll be okay." The reason why Fade was so confident was because of his unbeatable and incomparable strength. He knew he didn't need to worry about the men before him. Also, Fade deliberately did not beat them all up because he wanted to see who the mastermind who sent them was. After all, there was a saying that went, know thy enemy Sitting in the back seat, Fade leaned back in his seat and asked aloud, "Who is your master?" No one responded Fade smacked his lips and said, "It's so boring here. Even if you don't tell me now, you'll bring me to your master later. What's the difference?" The men were speechless. Fade was not acting like he was being kidnapped. On the contrary, he behaved like a guest and seemed more relaxed than they were With the weird atmosphere hanging in the car, the vehicle made its way to a villa. The men got out of the car very nervously and surrounded Fade gingerly. On the other hand, Fade casually led Lily out of the car and stared at the villa as if he were a guest there. He laughed, "This villa is quite nice. Your boss must be pretty rich!" The men resisted the urge to start reprimanding Fade for his unholy behaviour. Wearing sullen faces, they pointed and said, "Go in Fade glanced at them and frowned, "Don't you have any manners? I wonder how your master has tolerated you all for so long!" With that, Fade and Lily walked into the villa. In the large and neat villa, a 27-year-old woman with short hair looked at them with a smile. It was none other than Sasha Li of the Li family. Sasha watched Fade and Lily walk in with a smile on her face. As if welcoming guests, she said, "Mr. Chen and Manager Wei, you are finally here. I hope you enjoyed the journey! Please take a seat." The moment they saw Sasha, the expressions of Fade and Lily changed. Lily looked slightly unnerved as her brows were knitted together. Fade, on the hand, frowned slightly before he plastered a smile back on his face. Then, walking over in a relaxed manner, he sat down on the sofa opposite Sasha and smiled, "The seats are very comfortable, but your servants were very rude. I suggest that Miss Li should have them replaced." His relaxed attitude and ridiculous tone surprised Sasha. Her gaze flickered before she smiled and said, "Since you have said so, then I must replace them." Fade smiled in reply. "You are very hospitable. Since you invited us over this evening, there must be something important to discuss. Sasha smiled and said, "Since you've asked, will get straight to the point. invited the two of you here today to discuss something with you." "Oh, please tell us, Miss Li, Fade said. Sasha began, "From the banquet at the Government House, I think both of you are aware that the Jade City government is going to reform the pharmaceutical industry. I wonder what's your opinion about this matter "What opinion?" Fade rolled his eyes and said, "I think that this is a good thing for the country and the people." Sasha nodded and said, "It is indeed a good thing. Such a large project would require a big company to assist the government in making it a success. Coincidentally, we, the Li family, are very interested in this. "Oh, you seem very confident. I remember that there are quite a few people trying to bid for this project, Fade said A look of confidence appeared on Sasha's face. Her gaze intensified and her volume rose as she declared, "We are bound to win." "In that case, I would like to congratulate you in advance, Fade said indifferently Sasha laughed in response, "Thank you for the wishes. However, I have to say that I admire you, especially your Sincere Medicine Center. I heard that the Chief Executive also favours you very much that he even talked to you in private." "Oh, is that so?' Fade replied nonchalantly.
Chapter 1034 Sasha continued, "Yes, indeed. It is precisely because the Chief Executive admires you that I would like to invite you to work together with me on the reformation of the pharmaceutical industry." "Oh, a cooperation! Mind telling me more?" Fade narrowed his eyes as he asked "We both will have part of the shares. The LI family will have 90%, while your Sincere Medicine Center will have 10%. Finally, we will work together to reform Jade City's pharmaceutical industry. What do you think?" Sasha smiled, her tone sounded secretly overbearing. She was clearly trying to show Fade who was the boss here. Lily was furious to hear that. As a person well-versed in business dealings, she knew Sasha's true intentions behind the supposed cooperation Sasha knew that Mr. Alastair admired Fade very much and that he had already met with them in private. Therefore, it didn't take much for her to discover that he was planning to work with the Sincere Medicine Center. This left the Li family little to no chance to bid for the project, Despite the circumstances that were against their best interests, Sasha had offered Fade a ridiculous split of nine- one. This was equivalent to stealing Sincere Medicine Center's working deal with the government! Nevertheless, Sasha worded it as if it was a win-win situation. Her behaviour disgusted and angered Lily. Of course, Fade also understood Sasha's true intentions. Smiling, he replied, "The Li family is the richest family in the area, while we are just a small medical center. I think such cooperation should be avoided. When Sasha heard that, anger flashed across her face. She said solemnly, "Are you really refusing my goodwill?" Fade reiterated, "We cannot accept this." "If there's nothing else, we will have to take our leave. It's pretty late." With that, Fade got up and was about to leave with Lily. Sasha couldn't keep up the act anymore. She snorted coldly and decided to threaten them, "Mr. Chen, if you don't agree to cooperate with my family today, I'm afraid you will not be able to leave. As soon as her voice fell, a commotion immediately took place. Around 30 bodyguards clad in black surrounded them with their guns drawn. The guns were all aimed at Fade and Lily. Fade stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Sasha. He asked lightly, "Ms. Sasha, what is the meaning of this?" Sasha smiled and returned to her seat with an air of confidence around her. Picking up a cup of tea, she took a sip before saying, "What I am trying to say is that I just want to work with you." Fade scoffed, "Has Miss Sasha always tried cooperating with others like this?" Sasha snorted coldly, "Of course not, I would never bear to use such methods on other people. However, I will have no choice but to resort to this if a person doesn't know what's best for them." Having said that, Sasha glared at Fade confidently, as if she was sure of her victory. Fade shook his head in response and asked, "What if I still don't agree?" Sasha smirked, "It's better for you to agree, Mr. Chen. I can't guarantee what will happen next if you don't "Are you planning to attack us?" Fade asked coldly. A burst of energy radiated from his body, shocking everyone in the villa. Everyone held their breath Even Sasha felt it. Her body swayed with the impact. However, a man in his thirties appeared next to Sasha. With a wave of his palm, he formed a shield to block the impact of Fade's energy Immediately, Sasha looked at Fade triumphantly and chuckled, "Mr. Chen, I know you are a martial artist. You're quite famous around the area." "However, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to defeat guns and ammunition!" The man next to Sasha, Dion, also added sarcastically, "Mr. Chen, this is Jade City. You're not in your hometown, and you're not the only one who knows martial arts here. I would advise you to accept Miss Sasha's proposal. It's your honour to be able to cooperate with her." "Besides, even you are not afraid Miss Wei, who next to you, is a beautiful woman. It'll be too bad if something happens to her. After saying that Dion's eyes darted towards Lily's body and he scanned her from top to bottom lustfully. Taking in the situation, Fade's gaze turned stony. He flung his hand towards the man as he tried to slap him. "How dare you!' Dion had not expected Fade to do something to him in that situation. Shocked, he quickly tried to block Fade's hand. However, when their hands collided, he experienced Fade's immense power "Pop!" Dion's arm was flung away. Fade's hand landed on his face harshly with a loud slap The huge force drove Dion backwards. He spun a few times in the air before slamming heavily on the expensive and exquisite furniture behind him. Then, he collapsed on the ground with a thud. His cheeks were extremely red and swollen. "How dare a dog of the Li family talk to me like this, Fade said as he looked at the man indifferently, "I'm going to kill you, I." Dion was furious. He struggled to get on his feet in an attempt to fight Fade to the death. Just then, Sasha waved her hand and stopped Dion. Then, she stared at Fade and smirked, "Mr. Chen, your strength is a little beyond my expectations." "However, no matter how powerful you are, your body is made of flesh. It is no match for my weapons, She snickered. Then, she glared at Fade and said coldly, "You have injured my men. I will give you one last chance. If you don't accept my proposal. I will shoot you to death. In that case, I won't even have to share 10% of the profit with you." "You are a smart person and you should know what to choose." After Sasha finished speaking, she looked at Fade with an extremely confident expression. Fade shook his head and smiled when he heard her words. He told her, "Miss Sasha, you are very bold and courageous to use firearms so openly." "The strength of my family is beyond your imagination after all" Sasha announced proudly. Fade's tone changed. His cold glare was locked on her as he warned, "Indeed, 1 may not be able to imagine the strength of the Li family. However, the strength of a true martial artist is not something that you can imagine either. Don't belittle me As Fade spoke, he moved swiftly. His afterimage appeared in front of Sasha and before she could even react, Fade had rushed towards her. Sasha was shocked that Fade would dare to do something to her despite being heavily outnumbered. She suddenly panicked and laid on the ground, barking orders at her henchmen, "Shoot them! Kill them! Kill them all now."
Chapter 1035 The gunmen of the Li family were all hired at a high price, and they were well trained. They jumped into action the moment Sasha commanded them to. The black muzzles of their guns were pointed at Fade as they pulled the trigger and fired mercilessly at him. Loud shots resounded one after the other. Bullets showered Fade from all directions. The bullets pierced through the air, whistling in the wind with the intention to kill. They were about to penetrate Fade's body and turn him into a beehive. However, Fade managed to avoid all the bullets. He was extremely flexible and his body weaved between the tight-knitted bed of bullets in the air. In the end, Fade escaped unscathed. "How did he avoid the bullets? How is this possible?" Taking in the situation, everyone was shocked. A look of astonishment was plastered on their faces. Sasha, who was lying on the ground, also froze for a while. When she recovered, she hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, continue shooting him! Kill him!" However, before the gunmen could react, Fade made his move. He rushed over to Sasha's side and picked her up, using her as his body shield. "Now, do you guys still want to shoot?" Fade asked coldly. Sasha was taken aback. There was a look of horror on her face as she waved her hand and yelled, "Don't shoot! Stop!" All the gunmen had no choice but to put down the guns in their hands. They retreated slowly, visibly distraught and at a loss. After all, Miss Sasha was being held hostage. if any harm were to befall her, the Li family would never let it slide. They would all be gravely punished. The air was thick with tension. Sasha asked in horror, "Fade Chen, what do you want? Let me go!" "Let go of you?" Fade curled his lips and sneered, "Miss Sasha, you were about to kill me. Why don't you guess what I'll do next?" While speaking, Fade grabbed Sasha's neck and tightened his fingers around it. Suddenly, a surge of energy filled Sasha's body from the base of her neck. The fear of death struck her, causing her body to tremble. "Let me go. As long as you let me go, I will promise you anything, Sasha said quickly. At the thought of death, she was frightened. Looking at Sasha, Fade scoffed indifferently, "Can I believe what you just said, Miss Sasha?" Sasha nodded quickly and agreed to Fade, "Yes, you can believe me. I will definitely do what I say, and I won't bother you again in the future." Fade gave her words some thought. Then, he looked at the gunmen outside, and requested Sasha, "Dismiss them first." Sasha quickly waved her hand and ordered, "All of you are ordered to leave. Now!" Although the gunmen were reluctant, they did not dare to go against Sasha's orders. They could only retreat as per her commands. "Fade, they have all left. You can let me go now" Sasha said, forcing an ugly smile. Fade didn't utter a word. He dragged Sasha with him as he helped Lily to her feet. Lily's legs had gone weak from the fright. Then, they left the house. After Lily entered the car, Fade lugged Sasha to the other side of the car, ready to place her into the car. Due to the angle of Fade's movements, their bodies were slightly separated for a while. Sasha's gaze flickered towards the villa Dion, who had previously been knocked to the ground by Fade's slap, was standing there. He held a pistol in his hand and pointed it at Fade's heart. Then, he pulled the trigger. "Go to hell!' Dion had a vengeful smile on his face. He had been waiting for an opening for a long time. From afar, he seized the opportunity and sent the bullet into Fade's heart with great accuracy. The bullet scorched the air with immense killing intent, ready to penetrate Fade's heart. At that moment, Dion could already imagine Fade's death. A pleasant retaliatory smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. He muttered, "Fade, you must pay the price for hitting me." Sasha also heard the gunshot. Although she had been prepared for it, she was still taken aback at that moment. However, the surprise on her face was quickly replaced by a triumphant smile. The thought that Fade, who had just threatened her life, was about to die from a gunshot wound filled her heart with endless pleasure. "Fade, it doesn't matter how strong you are! You're still not a match for bullets!" Sasha and Dion were excited. They could hardly wait to cheer and celebrate Fade's death Fade, whose body was bent as he was trying to get into the car, suddenly stopped. He straightened his body and stood alert, In such a posture, the bullet that had been aimed at Fade's heart was now flying towards his abdomen. Even so, the shot was guaranteed to severely harm him, if not kill him. "Go to hell!" Sasha and the young man ere grittit their teeth in anticipation. They were looking to see Fade vulnerable and close to death after being shot. Just as the bullet was about to hit Fade's body, Fade, who had seemed unaware of it, suddenly raised his head. A sneer of disdain appeared on his face as he stretched his right hand forward, as if he was planning to catch the bullet. His actions startled both Sasha and Dion. They looked extremely shocked "What does he want to do? "Is he trying to block the bullet with his bare hands?" In the midst of their shock, Fade's right hand moved swiftly. Instantaneously, the surroundings fell silent. Nothing had happened. Sasha and Dion were shocked. Their faces were full of doubt and confusion. How could this be? Where was the bullet? Maybe Dion had missed? As a million questions ran through their heads, Fade spread out his right hand. In his palm was a crushed metal bullet, smoke still seen from the bullet, Fade laughed, "Are you looking for this?" Fade's palm was perfectly fine. There was no sign of a bruise or even a red spot, let alone a scratch. They were dumbfounded. "How is this possible? He caught the bullet empty-handed. How?!" "Impossible! There's no way he could do that!" Dion yelled in disbelief and once again raised his gun. He pointed it in Fade's direction and was about to pull the trigger. Upon seeing this, Fade narrowed his eyes mercilessly murderous intent appearing in his gaze, Swiftly, he flicked the bullet in his right hand back at Dion Instantly, the bullet left his palm, gliding through the air as it flew back towards Dion. Its speed and strength were exponentially larger than when it was released from the gun.
