Chapter 1141 At that moment, Sasha seemed very calm as she stated, "My grandfather might not be the best person and perhaps he had done something bad. However, as for this, I don't believe that he actually did it." "You're still denying it... Borzoi was enraged. "Listen to mel Sasha interrupted him and continued, "Assuming that things are as you said, that my grandfather found antiques and wanted to take it for himself" "But he has countless ways to obtain it. There is no need to kill for this." "You should know that ten years ago, the net worth of my family was already worth tens of billions. My grandfather also collected numerous rare treasures from all over the world. If he wanted to have that antique, he could just spend money on it." "Assuming that what you said was true, and my grandfather did indeed go to your country to invest and set up a factory in order to make money. However, just for an antique, he forfeited the factory that was halfway done and even killed for the antique? This is totally not making any sense." So, I don't believe that my grandfather would do something like this." After hearing Sasha's analysis, even Borzoi, who was still angry, couldn't help but pause in shock. Then, he retorted furiously, "This is just your assumption. You are his granddaughter. You will naturally think of your grandfather in a good way." "I don't care if your grandfather was good or bad, and I don't care if he had a better way to get the antique. What I know is that your grandfather killed my grandfather. This is a fact "You are not being reasonable. I have analyzed it and this is unlikely. If you don't believe it, I." Sasha glared at Borzoi helplessly Borzoi was determined. "Even if I am not being reasonable, I will still avenge my grandfather" "You." Sasha didn't know how she was supposed to reason with someone like this At that moment, Fade stood up. He stared at Borzoi for a few seconds and then asked, "You keep saying that Fenrir killed your grandfather. How are you so sure that this is true? Did you witness it personally?" Borzoi paused, then he answered, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, many people knew about it. My master and other workers were around at that time. Especially, my master, he was the one who had brought back my grandfather's corpse. *Your master?" Fade frowned and asked, "How is he as a person? Was he the one who arranged for you to come to Jade City this time?" "My master is.." Borzoi stopped as he thought of something and turned to Fade in alertness. What are you trying to do? Are you going to attack my master? I won't allow you to do that. I." Fade frowned as he rushed forward and held him in a choke. He looked at him coldly and said, "You have to understand your current situation. I am not here to talk to you. I am interrogating you. If you don't answer me, I will kill you." After that, Fade proceeded to tighten his grip on Borzoi's neck. Borzoi felt suffocated and breathless, his face paling "Tell me, who is your master?" Fade repeated. Borzoi's face was flushed red but he was determined. He shook his head and answered, "No, I won't. Upon hearing that, Fade's expression fell. He further increased the strength in his fingers, tightening his grip on Borzoi's neck. Borzoi's face was already starting to turn purple. However, even under such circumstances, Borzoi still shook his head and said with difficulty, "No!" "Since you refuse to answer, it's useless for me to keep you here. Die!" Fade looked as if he was about to kill Borzoi and squeezed with such a great force that he almost broke Borzoi's neck. Borzoi knew that he was about to die. He closed his eyes in despair and prepared for his own death. However, Fade released his hand suddenly. He took a step back and said to Sasha, "Let's go!" The two of them left the room without saying anything else. The thick iron door slammed shut and was locked again. Borzoi, who had been awaiting his death, opened his eyes and coughed vigorously. He looked at the iron gate in astonishment, a glint flashing in his eyes as he fell deep into thoughts. Sasha, who followed Fade, looked at him with a puzzled face and asked, "Mr. Chen, why did you release Borzoi, he..." "Did you wish for me to kill him?" Fade questioned. Sasha paused, then she lowered her head and replied, "I don't really care. I'm just curious as to why you didn't." Fade waved his hand. "Don't be so nervous. I didn't mean to kill him just now." "Ah, well." Sasha grew even more confused. Fade explained, I was actually testing him when I wanted him to tell me his master's name. However, if he had confessed immediately, it would prove that he was a coward. Then, his words would not be credible." "But when I threatened him just now, he still did not betray his master although he was on the verge of death. This shows that his words are most likely to be true." "But, my grandfather...." Sasha immediately grew anxious and started to defend her grandfather. Fade waved his hand and said, "What he said might be true, but it doesn't mean that your grandfather had killed someone. There might have been some misunderstanding involved Sasha fell into even deeper confusion as she inquired, "Then what should we do next?" Fade looked at Sasha and answered, "Since Borzoi insists that Fenrir has stolen his grandfather's antique that your grandfather valued very much, we shall look for it. Sasha replied, "Mr. Chen, you're planning to go to my house." Fade nodded. Please make a phone call to ask the elders in your family to gather together and see if we can find what we're looking for. "Alright!" Sasha nodded and called her family Fade drove to the Li family's villa by himself. As they were on their way, Fade glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled. Upon their arrival, everyone in the Li family was already prepared Fade and Sasha entered Fenrir's storage room. It was huge, divided into several rooms of nearly 500 square meters. It was also divided into a few areas according to their storage conditions. Fenrir's storage room was comparable to some of the museums in Long City.
Chapter 1142 It was eye-opening when Fade and Sasha saw the collections in the storage room. Needless to say, there were thousands of them. Moreover, most of them were special collections of Fenrir's and were unique items according to various articles and news. Their prices were at least 50 or 60 million each. Some were even worth more than hundreds of millions, up to billions. Fade found that Fenrir seemed to like the Chinese antiques very much since they made up 70% of the collections in the storage room. Since Borzoi wasn't sure what antique had been dug out at that time, therefore, Fade and Sasha could only follow their instincts, Taking into consideration that it was from Torteland and also the Old Master's preferences, Fade and Sasha decided to focus on the Chinese antiques. Therefore, they began to search in the storage room However, there were too many antiques in there. Fade and Sasha weren't sure which one was the one they were looking for In the end, they decided to ask the elders in the Li family to inquire more about the antique since they were uncertain. However, the elders could not answer them as they had no idea about it at all. They could only tell Fade and Sasha about the Old Master's favorites for their reference Despite having this information, Fade and Sasha were still unable to determine what the antique was. Time passed and it was already evening. Sasha went to the storage room and said, "Mr. Chen, it's late now and I have prepared dinner for you. Shall we end here for today and continue tomorrow?" Fade nodded. He put the antique down and locked the storage room when he left. Then, he went to the dining hall to have dinner with Sasha. After dinner, she arranged for a ride to send him home. However, Fade looked at the dimming sky from the window, wiped his mouth and said, "It's getting late. I shall rest here today!" "Ah!" Sasha looked at Fade in astonishment as she fell speechless. Fade raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, I am not welcomed here? "No, it's not that. Sasha shook her head quickly as she answered, "Of course you are most welcome here, Mr. Chen. I shall get someone to prepare a room for you, No, I will prepare it myself: Fade nodded. Sasha immediately went to prepare the bedroom. As she was preparing the room, she started to have weird thoughts. Why would Mr. Chen ask to stay overnight? Did he have something else in mind? Moreover, Mr. Chen had been very concerned about the incident where Sasha was nearly assassinated. Fade had not only helped to catch Borzoi, but he was also very concerned about the antiques and helped her with everything, even until that moment. Could it be that he...? Sasha blushed as she thought of something and started to have butterflies in her stomach But then she shook her head fiercely and said to herself. This is impossible, there is too big of a gap between us. Moreover, Mr. Chen seems to be married. His wife, President Lin, is so pretty. They." Fade was not aware of Sasha's random thoughts. He was looking out from the villa and whispered to himself, "Will you come tonight? After that, Fade and Sasha chatted for a while and went to rest after washing up It was midnight and all the lights were turned off. There was only complete silence as everyone was deep in their sleep. Out of nowhere, a dark shadow snuck into the Li family's villa. He flipped through the three-meter-high wall with ease, avoiding the alarms and entered the compound of the villa. The dark shadow was getting nearer with the help of the trees and flower beds in the villa that covered him. Soon, the dark silhouette had reached the villa. He opened a small window and entered it. His movements became lighter when he entered the villa, as if he was a cat, walking around the villa without making any noises. Soon, the shadow had reached Fenrir's storage room. He looked around to make sure that no one was around. Then, he took out a tiny device, placed it at the burglar-proof door and quickly activated it. In less than ten seconds, the device clicked and the burglar-proof door was opened. He kept his device and entered the storage room. Then, he took out a small torch and began his search. He passed by rows and rows of antiques quickly but gently. He was focused on searching for his target and did not have any second thoughts about the other treasures About ten minutes later, he found a simple-looking wooden box in a corner. He opened the wooden box to check. Then, he took out a black bag to keep the wooden box as he smirked and prepared to leave. As he was about to leave, suddenly, the lights in the storage room were turned on. The glaring lights shone onto his face making him unable to see clearly for a moment. However, he was still able to move by his instinct. He rolled over on the ground and hid behind a wooden frame. While at this moment, the door of the storage room was opened. Fade, Sasha and the members of the Li family entered the room. Fade smiled and said, "You are finally here. Then, he looked at the dark shadow who was hiding in the corner, waved his hands and sald, "You don't have to hide anymore, we have found you. Let me see, which antique were you looking for? At this time, the elders of the Li family scanned the storage room. Soon, they had identified the missing item and said, "That bronze dagger is missing. "So it's the dagger!" Fade looked at the empty spot and then said in a puzzled tone, "That dagger looks ordinary, nothing special. I didn't expect that you were looking for it!" Sasha demanded, "Put it down and come out to surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite. The security guards behind Sasha were all prepared to fight.
Chapter 1143 The dark silhouette, Tiago who was hiding behind the wooden frame finally revealed himself. He looked at Sasha and the other members of the Li family, holding a green dagger that was about the length of his palm. "Put down the dagger, hands up. Surrender now," Sasha ordered. However, Tiago didn't intend to do so. Instead, he laughed as he turned at Sasha, and said, "You are Fenrir's granddaughter. I didn't expect that you are so pretty!" Tiago was definitely arrogant. He licked his lips as he stared at Sasha lewdly. He then remarked rudely, "Well, I don't have time now. Otherwise, I would've had my way with you in front of your grandfather's portrait. I wonder how the old man would react when he sees us?" Sasha frowned. "How dare you. You have already been surrounded. Now, surrender immediately, otherwise, I-" However, before Sasha could finish speaking, Tiago interrupted her and glanced at the security guards behind her disdainfully. He laughed and mocked, "Do you think you can stop me with those security guards of yours? After that, Tiago moved around from the side and quickly rushed towards the exit. He moved so fast that the security guards couldn't react at all. Soon, he was about to rush out. However, right then, Fade immediately attacked him. At the last moment, he forced Tiago back into the room with a swing of his hand. "You can't leave when I am here. Tiago rubbed his chest that had been attacked by Fade. He looked at Fade with a grim expression and questioned, "Are you the one who caught Borzoi?" Fade looked at Tiago and nodded as he replied, "It was me. If I am right, you are his so-called master, right?" "I am indeed the master of Borzoi, Tiago admitted with a solemn expression as he gritted his teeth. "What a useless disciple! He couldn't even complete the task I gave him, but instead, he sold me out. When I return, I must teach him a good lesson." Fade shook his head when he heard Tiago, and sighed. "You are so disappointing when compared to Borzoi!" "What do you mean?" Tiago frowned. Fade stepped forward with a relaxed expression and answered, "Your disciple did not reveal your identity when he was about to die. But you, his master, had used him as bait to come here and steal. Do you think you are worthy of being his master?" Tiago froze and snorted, "I taught Borzoi by myself. Haven't you heard that you should treat your masters like your own father? No matter how I treat him, you have no say at all." "That is indeed correct. But the premise is that you, as his master, must perform your responsibilities well. Do you really think that you have done what a master should?" Fade questioned. Tiago fell silent as his face fell. He then waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm not gonna waste time talking to you. If you want to stop me, then take this!" Without hesitation, Tiago charged towards Fade, attacking him ferociously As Fade watched Tiago's attacks, his gaze grew cold as he muttered to himself, "It's this feeling! The familiar and disgusting feeling!" Tiago heard his words. Although slightly puzzled, he didn't really care. He continued to dash towards Fade and yelled, "Get out of my way, or die!" His violent claws were aimed straight for Fade's throat; he was about to finish Fade off in one deadly blow. Faced with Tiago's vicious offense, Fade raised his eyebrows and huffed. He took a step back before he blasted a punch on Tiago's claws. Upon collision, Tiago was immediately knocked back, He staggered backwards as he tried to find his balance. Surprise and pain flashed across Tiago's face. His right hand was now on his side and was trembling slightly. He had taken Fade's punch directly with one hand, and it was painful. "Now, will you give up, or will you keep fighting?' Fade inquired, glancing at Tiago. Tiago's expression grew grim as he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Fade again This time, he moved faster than before. He was going to make his attack even more violent. "Impressive! You're now at the pinnacle of the Black Level. However, it's all the same for me!" Fade commented calmly as he extended another punch once again. "Thud!" Tiago flew back after taking Fade's punch. He moved backward unsteadily as his body hit the wall. Blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth. Tiago was taken aback as he stared at Fade and asked, "Are you at the Earth Level?" Fade did not respond, but instead questioned him, "Now, are you willing to surrender? I don't want to fight here. If any item is damaged, I need to compensate for it!" Tiago's expression fell as if he was deep in his own thoughts. Fade waited for Tiago's answer. Tiago had been hiding his right hand behind his back all the while. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and attacked Fade with a flow of green energy. "How dare you! You are digging your own grave!" Irked, Fade shouted coldly, countering Tiago's attack. Tiago concentrated the green light on his right hand and aimed straight at Fade. Fade had wanted to knock Tiago out at once. However, at this critical moment, he found that the green light in Tiago's hand turned out to be the antique bronze dagger that Tiago had stolen. As he thought of this, Fade moved aside and avoided Tiago instead of attacking him directly. Upon seeing this, Tiago simpered and pounced onto Fade even more fearlessly. This time, Fade could see clearly the green light was aimed straight at him. Fade was worried about damaging the antique, hence he decided not to confront Tiago head-on. Tiago saw that Fade had retreated, and instantly, his lips quirked upwards into a prideful grin. He continued to launch a constant wave of attacks at Fade with the antique dagger Fade frowned when he saw that Tiago was about to escape. Immediately, he channeled all his energy on his legs as he accelerated his movements and bombarded Tiago. Tiago didn't even have time to fight back, so he could only watch as Fade attacked him. However, just as Fade was about to succeed, Tiago chuckled and raised his left hand. A red light emitted from his left hand, and it was aimed straight at Fade. Fade took a closer look and found out that Tiago was also holding a dagger in his left hand. It was very similar to its antique bronze equivalent, except that it was red "This-" Fade couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw this. Tiago tittered in delight as he stated, "These are the Double Daggers. After merging them together, they will become more powerful." As he guffawed, he added, "Even if you are a master of the Earth Level, you won't be able to block the Double Daggers!
Chapter 1144 As he spoke, Tiago combined the two daggers. Instantly, the red and the green lights intertwined with each other before they emerged as one and shot towards Fade's heart. Tiago was moving at a rapid speed, so fast that he was able to carry a gust of wind as he sprinted towards Fade. Undeniably, it was going to be hard for Fade to block Tiago guffawed and hissed arrogantly, "Soon there will be a master of Earth Level who would die by my hands. When return and spread this out, my reputation in the world of martial arts will grow even better." The Double Daggers were aimed straight at Fade, and it seemed like was impossible for Fade to avoid it. However, at this critical moment, Fade shook his head calmly and sighed as he counter-attacked Tiago's attack. The Double Daggers were slammed back at Tiago. Fade had managed to face off with Tiago's lethal attack so easily, even though it was the so-called invincible Double Daggers. "How did you-" Tiago exclaimed incredulously as he looked at Fade. Just then, Fade hit Tiago with his palm, and Tiago was knocked out of the storage room. This time, Fade had exerted more force. As Tiago flew out of the storage room, blood spilled out from his mouth before he landed on the ground with a loud thud. He wailed in pain as he couldn't even stand up. Fade walked over to him slowly, and stared down at Tiago. Tiago looked at Fade in disbelief and asked, "How is it possible? How could you have stopped my attack from the Double Daggers? Not even master of Earth Level could have avoided this!" Fade looked at him and replied blandly, "Who told you that I was a master of the Earth Level?" "You've defeated my disciple Borzoi, but you were not a master of Earth Level. So are you at Black Level? But it's impossible for you to block." Tiago paused as a realization dawned on him. He then looked at Fade in astonishment and asked, "Could it be that you are at Heaven Level -" With a wave of his hand, Fade collected both of the daggers from Tiago. Fade took a closer look as he held the daggers. Both of the daggers were almost similar, but they were mirrors of each other They looked quaint, but the blade was exceedingly sharp, especially after being infused with such a strong amount of energy The essence of these daggers was that they could be combined together, and unification would render them even more powerful "It's a good weapon nearly reaching the quality of Earth Level. No wonder you came here for them!" Fade examined the daggers and commented aloud. The weapons, medicines, and other items in the world of martial arts were also classified similarly as martial artists, ranging from Heaven Level, Earth Level, Black Level, and finally Yellow Level. The pair of daggers were considered good since they had reached the quality of Earth Level. It was not easy even for many masters of Earth Level to obtain a weapon at their same level. A pair of daggers that could be combined and separated was even more valuable. Especially for a martial artist who was at the pinnacle of the Black Level, weapons of Earth Level quality were even more precious to them. When Tiago heard how Fade had immediately recognized the daggers, he grew even more surprised. It had further confirmed his own assumption. "He really is at the Heaven Level." Fade handed the daggers to Sasha, then looked at Tiago and asked, "Now I want you to tell me. Why did you ask Borzoi to come here and assassinate Fenrir?" Upon hearing this, Tiago's face fell. Fade repeated coldly, "Why the silence? Do you want me to give you another kick?" Tiago trembled when he heard Fade's words. He shook his head immediately and answered, "No, no, please don't. I'll tell. I'll tell you everything "Then do it!" Fade demanded. Tiago replied, "The actual purpose of me asking Borzoi to assassinate Fenrir was to obtain this dagger. I took advantage of Borzoi's hatred towards the Li family to make him do this, as an act of revenge. Fade pressed on, "What had happened between Borzoi and the Li family? Did Fenrir kill Borzoi's grandfather. Sakda?" Tiago paused when he heard that, and only continued to speak when he met Fade's stern gaze. "N-no, Fenrir did not kill Sakda." Sasha was thrilled when she heard that. "I told you. My grandfather was not that kind of person." Fade remained calm as he continued asking, "Then what about these daggers, how did Fenrir bring it back to Jade City?" Tiago replied in a low tone, "Actually, when Fenrir was investing and establishing the factory, Sakda was responsible for the construction. He found an antique, which were these daggers." "Fenrir liked these daggers very much, so he wanted to buy them back for collection. As the owner of the land and Fenrir's partner, Sakda agreed immediately and decided to sell it for ten million dollars, added Tiago. "Originally, the deal should have gone smoothly. But at the critical moment, one of my men told me about the deal." "I am a tycoon among the martial artists of that land, similar to a local potentate. I wanted to get a share of the deal, so I rushed over and prepared to talk with Sakda and Fenrir. Tiago's eyes lost their gleam as he narrated what had happened. "But when I saw the daggers, I immediately realized that it was not some ordinary dagger, but a treasure with Earth Level quality. As a martial artist, I was naturally excited and wanted to take the daggers for myself." "So, I made a purchase request to Sakda. But Fenrir also liked it very much, and his offering price was higher than mine. I couldn't compete with him at all." Tiago let out a sigh at this moment, "In a blink of an eye, Fenrir was about to return to his country happily with the daggers. Back then, I succumbed to my own greed and before Fenrir left, I secretly rushed over to snatch the pair of daggers from him with force." "But what didn't expect was that Fenrir's bodyguards were so powerful. Although they were not as strong as me, they were at a similar level as mine. Despite their attack, I managed to grab one of the daggers. His bodyguards protected Fenrir before he was escorted out of the country immediately." Tiago paused for a while before he continued, "At that time, after fighting violently with Fenrir's bodyguards, I suffered serious injuries and was about to go back to heal myself. But at this moment, Sakda showed up. It turned out that when he came to see Fenrir off, he had seen everything that had happened."
Chapter 1145 Upon hearing this, Fade and Sasha had vaguely guessed what would occur next, but they allowed Tiago to continue. Tiago then said, "After Sakda discovered what had happened, he was furlous, asking me to return the dagger and apologize to Fenrir. Of course, I didn't want to. "Then, Sakda threatened to report me to the local tycoons saying that I broke the rules and that I had crossed the line. He would make me look like a person who attacked his own people and also disturbed the construction of the factory, Tiago clenched his teeth. "I was a nobody at that time. If he really told them, the local tycoons and the officers who supported the establishment of the factory would definitely not have forgiven me." "So I killed Sakda and fabricated a lie, telling Chongrak that his grandfather Sakda was killed by Fenrir as Fenrir wanted to get himself the antique dagger." Both Fade and Sasha could see the resentment sparkling in Tiago's eyes. "Chongrak believed me without any doubt, and hated Fenrir very much "I was worried that Fenrir would expose this incident, and at the same time, I wanted to get the dagger back. Therefore, had accepted Chongrak as my disciple, taught him martial arts, and trained him over these years." At this moment, Tiago raised his head and looked at Fade. "Finally, I found a chance to send Chongrak to assassinate Fenrir as revenge for his grandfather and obtain the dagger at the same time." "This is the whole story. The end." Tiago lowered his head as he finished. Fade clapped his hands and said, "Let him out!" Under Tiago and Sasha's shocked gazes, Borzol, who was supposed to be locked up at the Stealth Team base, appeared in front of them. Shock and anger were evident on his face. Borzoi glared at Tiago fiercely as he gritted his teeth. "Why did you have to do that? Why did you have to lie to me?" When Tiago saw Borzoi, whose real name was Chongrak, he was stunned. He quickly tried to defend himself. "Borzoi, about this, I-" "My name is Chongrak, and my grandfather's name is Sakda. I am not Borzoi!" Chongrak yelled. The name Borzoi was given to him after he had learned martial arts from Tiago. He had participated in various fights as ordered by Tiago. Now, when he learned that the master whom he regarded as his benefactor, was actually the murderer of his grandfather, the resentment and anger he felt made Chongrak not want to have anything to do with the title Borzoi. Chongrak stared at Tiago and questioned, "Don't try to defend yourself. Answer me, did you kill my grandfather?" "T-this, I. Tiago wanted to defend himself. However, he dared not to lie as he stole a glance at Fade. He nodded and admitted, "Yes, I killed him Upon hearing that, Chongrak's face was immediately plastered with red fury. He immediately attacked Tiago. "Since it was you who killed him, then you should pay for it now! Tiago tried to dodge, but he could not move at all as he was being held down by Fade. He could only take the hit from Chongrak, which landed straight on his head. His neck broke. And, with a loud crack, Tiago fell onto the floor lifelessly. With that, the tycoon of Torteland had died in the hands of his own disciple. After killing Tiago, Chongrak knelt down in front of Fade and Sasha and slapped himself twice. "I was wrong. I didn't figure out the truth and blamed it on you, and even tried to assassinate Miss Sasha. "I deserve to die, I have avenged my grandfather. So for now, no matter how you two want to punish me, I'm going to willingly take it." Sasha looked at Fade. It was obvious that she could not make a decision for such a situation Fade looked at Chongrak who was kneeling in front of him and noticed his determined gaze. "You are indeed guilty of attempting to assassinate Sasha." "I deserve to die!" Chongrak lowered his head. Fade immediately continued, "However, because of your determination, I will spare your life and give you a chance to turn over a new leaf." "A chance? I." Chongrak was shocked as he looked at Fade in disbelief, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do I need to do?" "You don't have to do anything. What you need to do most now is to return to Torteland immediately and take over your master's power, and strive to become the overlord" Fade replied "Huh? This." Chongrak had never expected that Fade would spare him so easily, Fade even asked him to take over Tiago's powers to become an overlord. Chongrak could not understand Fade's thoughts and asked, "Mr. Chen, I don't know why." Fade then Interrupted him and responded, "You don't need to know why! Just do as I told you. When I have time, I will visit you in Torteland. By then, I hope you would have met my expectations." "Yes, I shall work hard to meet your expectations, Me Chen, Chongrak stated. Fade waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up!" Chongrak stood and bowed gently at Fade "Mr. Chen, then I will leave immediately to book the flight ticket." Fade crouched down and took out a piece of paper. He then began to write some notes on it quickly. "Wait a minute!" Soon, he handed the notes to Chongrak. "Keep this!" "Mr. Chen, this is... Chongrak looked at the words on the paper in surprise. Fade explained, "These are some techniques of martial arts that I have improvised for you. If you continue to practice martial arts in the future, use these "Ah, techniques of martial arts. 1.Chongrak was even more astounded. For a martial artist, or even a clan, the techniques they practiced were incredibly important. After all, mastering a good technique was equivalent to having the capital to survive in the martial arts world. People with a certain degree of talent could also use this technique to create a new clan before becoming an overlord in that area. And now, Fade had just given Chongrak the guidance of different techniques to practice, and it seemed that it was an improved version of his previous method. That also meant that this exercise was definitely better than the one Chongrak had practiced before. It was natural for Chongrak to be shocked when Fade had given away such a valuable thing Fade waved his hand and said, "This is nothing to me. Practice this when you've returned before developing your influence there. After a year, I will see you in Torteland and will give you some tasks. Understand?" "Understood!" Chongrak nodded and answered loudly. Fade waved his hand again. "Okay, you may leave now. Chongrak nodded and thanked Fade before leaving
Chapter 1146 As Chongrak was leaving, Sasha looked at Fade in doubt. Something was bothering her but she chose to bottle it up as Fade seemed to have no intention of explaining further. Fade also noticed how puzzled Sasha was. However, it wasn't something he could explain to her. It wouldn't do her any good. In fact, Fade let Chongrak off easy and gave him a set of martial art skills because Fade felt a sense of familiarity when observing the style of martial arts that Chongrak and Tiago practiced. He sensed the same thing from the two of them with the one in his encounter with the Skull Mob Fade's most recent battle with a member of the Skull Mob was in Hamlin City. When Shinnie returned to Bay City, she was poisoned by the Snow Lotus Seed while Quin was poisoned by the Ice Lotus Seed. Fade assumed that it was related to the Skull Mob. However, he had no direct evidence to prove his theory Therefore, when Fade noticed Chongrak's energy was similar to the member of the Skull Mob, he was concerned, Fade arranged for Chongrak to return to Torteland and improved his skills so he could prepare to face the Skull Mob in the future. However, he could only know how effective his plan was when the time came. After all, Fade didn't put in much thought before he gave Chongrak the notes. have to worry anymore. Please send someone to clean this storage room." When Chongrak left, Fade told Sasha while beckoning her, "It's settled, you don't Sasha nodded. Soon, the servants came to clean the storage room. Fade was about to leave the Li family as there were no more matters for him to attend to Right then, Sasha held the Double Daggers, went to Fade, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do with these daggers?" Fade looked at the daggers and pondered for a while. The quality of these two daggers was at the Earth Level. Keeping them as antiques would be a waste. However, they were not useful to him either. Fade was reminded of Lucas. He decided to give them to Lucas since he just advanced to the Earth Level. On top of that, he was new to the position of Martial Soul of Jade City. It would be good as these daggers would help him to strengthen his power. Hence, Fade took the daggers and said, "I'll have them since I have a use for them." "Of course, one of the daggers belonged to your grandfather. I won't just take them from you. Tell me what you want in return" Fade asked. Speaking of which, Sasha's eyes flickered. She waved her hands again and again while saying, "I don't want anything. If it weren't for you, I would not be alive. Besides, my family and I are now your men, and if you would like to have the daggers, we. Fade raised his hand and said, "You can drop all the formalities with me. You are not a slave, and I don't want to engage in the bullsh*t of these talks of the aristocracy. You just need to mind your business, and if you don't cross the line I wouldn't be bothered about you." "So, let me take your daggers and pay you the equivalent price,' Fade insisted. When Sasha heard this, she was touched and a little excited. After all, it was a wonderful thing for someone of such caliber in Jade City like Fade to make such a promise to her. She was certain that everyone in the entire Jade City would be envious of her. Sasha had countless thoughts on her mind at the moment. What should she request? Should she ask to be in charge of the Li family? Or, should she request longevity drugs? Or better still, should she make Fade give his words to protect the Li family? But Sasha quickly shook off all these ideas as they flashed through her mind. Regardless of whether Fade would agree to these requests, it would ruin Fade's impression of her. In the end, these requests of hers would only come back and backfire on her Quickly discounting these thoughts, Sasha was tongue-tied for a while. Upon seeing this, Fade swung his hand and said, "If you can't decide what you want right now, you can look for me whenever you have an idea With that, Fade was about to leave the Li family. Upon seeing this, Sasha's heart missed several beats at once. All of a sudden, she didn't want Fade to leave. Thinking of this, she said immediately, "Mr. Chen, know what I want!" Fade stood still looking at Sasha. "Alright, tell me what your request is. I'll help you as long as it is reasonable." Sasha patted her clothes with both her hands before she bowed her head slightly, looking a little nervous. She took a deep breath before raising her head. "Mr. Chen, my request is a simple one. I hope you can spend the night resting in the villa and leave tomorrow!" "Uh, this. This request was not within Fade's expectations. He glanced at Sasha and asked, "Are you serious about this request? I." Sasha nodded firmly and interjected, "Thanks to you, my family and I are still alive. I dare not and cannot request anything more from you, Mr. Chen. After a pause, she continued, "It's getting late now, Mr. Chen, you have gotten your hands full until now because of my family. hope that you rest well tonight. Fade didn't doubt her sincerity, for he realized how genuine Sasha was. He looked at the time again, and it was already midnight. He nodded and responded, "If this is the case, then I will spend the night here and leave first thing tomorrow!" "After you, Mr. Chen! Sasha led Fade into the room enthusiastically. As a result, Fade stayed for a night in the Li family's villa and left the next morning After Sasha sent Fade away respectfully, the rest of the Li family couldn't help but gather One of them asked, "Sasha, you have lost a golden opportunity! Why didn't you make a proper request from Mr. Chen? Instead of something so trivial!" "Yeah, it was indeed a good opportunity, and we could have gotten much more. But all you did was ask him to stay." another remarked. Sasha, I don't understand. What on earth are you thinking? Sasha looked at the person who questioned her, pursed her lips, and snorted. "You are too short-sighted. If we request anything materialistic, no matter what benefits it can bring to us, it will come to an end eventually" She paused for a while and added, "But the request I made is different." "What's the difference? Your request does not bring us any benefit. It is better to have something more practical!" someone said, dissatisfied. Sasha stared at the other person and replied in a low tone, "Think about it. If news about Master Chen sleeping over at our family got out, what do you think will happen?" Immediately, a realization dawned on everyone in the Li family. Their expressions changed at once. "Master Chen slept over at our villa. How would people connect the dots." One of them rose to his feet and paced around the room. "Try adding the narrative of Master Chen saving Sasha. If people put the two and two together... surely their imaginations would go wild! He clapped his hand and exclaimed, "If such news went out the relationship between Sasha and Master Chen will be." In an instance, there was an in the Li family
Chapter 1147 In the midst of the excitement, someone leaned over and said to Sasha, "Miss Sasha, how about we contact some reporters to release the news, then..." Sasha glared at him and yelled, "Shut up. Are you trying to ruin my relationship with Master Chen? "No, Miss Sasha, I just." he tried to explain Sasha interjected solemnly, "I know what you're thinking, but have you really thought it through? Do you think Master Chen would not find out that you had a reporter to leak the news? If Master Chen gets infuriated after knowing about our little shenanigans, what do you think will happen?" He immediately nodded his head in agreement. Terrified, he was sweating profusely as he said hastily, "It's wrong of me for not thinking it through. Sasha immediately looked at everyone in the Li family and declared, "We don't need to deliberately spread this matter. Just let it happen. Someone like Master Chen is not someone to be trifled with. Don't even think about having these thoughts. Otherwise, it will only bring disaster to our family. Understand?" "Understood!" Everyone nodded, their eyes sparkling with admiration for Sasha At this moment in his car, Fade was thinking about why Sasha asked him to spend the night. Suddenly, he thought of something "Seems like Sasha has something up her sleevel" Thinking of this, Fade whispered to himself, 1 can understand that though, but if she ever crosses any lines, I." Fade was finally able to take a good rest back at the hotel. Everything in Jade City finally settled down. Quin and Lily had been taking good care of Fel Enterprises Holdings Inc. The development was going smoothly with the help of the Li family. As for the Sincere Medicine Centre, had also been on the right track and had completely stabilized with the support of Otto Clinic and the other experienced Chinese medicine practitioners, such as Otto Fade felt at ease now that everything seemed to have fallen into its right place. This was probably his most relaxing time for the past few months in Jade City Since Fade had nothing to do, he decided to pay a visit to one of the branch offices of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Fade arrived at the top floor and was about to enter Quin's office for some 'fun'. All of a sudden, a shout came from behind, "Fadel" Fade turned his head and saw that Lily was calling for him, and he couldn't help but smile, "Lily, how are you? Lily sized Fade up. He was obviously snooping around. "Fade, what are you doing here? Are you going to disturb Quin again? Fade waved his hand immediately and said, "No, of course not. I just come here to have a look. I have nothing to do anyway!" "Great, since you are free, I would like your help with something." Lily clicked her tongue Fade asked, "What's the matter?" Lily replied, "Follow me and you'll find out. Let's go. We got to be quick." Fade was rendered speechless, hence, he could only follow Lily downstairs. He became more uneasy and couldn't help but ask again, "What is it that you need help with? Tell me. I am a little nervous now!" Lily chuckled as she rolled her eyes before saying, "You are Master Chen, a martial arts expert who everyone admires. It is surprising for you to be afraid." "No, I am not." Right then, Lily opened the door of a room and interjected him, "Here, come in!" Fade walked into the room and noticed that all the tables, chairs, and benches had already been removed from this originally large conference room. At this moment, it was just a large area of open space "What are trying to do here?" Fade was curious. It Immediately, a burst of laughter rang out from behind them. Then, Fade saw a group of young and lively girls sashaying into the conference room They were startled when they saw Fade here. They instantly kept quiet as they timidly looked at Fade. After all, Fade was the vice president of the company, and he was also the boss of the Sincere Medicine Centre. In a way, he was their superior. Upon seeing this, Lily giggled and clapped her hands. She said, "No need to be so squeamish. Mr. Chen is here today to rehearse with all of you. He will be your dancing partner "Huh?! President Chen is performing too!" one of them chirruped. "President Chen is our dancing partner!" A tumult of screaming and shouting echoed off the wall. Fade himself was also a little shocked. He looked at Lily and asked, "What is this for?" Lily winked at Fade and responded with a smile, "We will be celebrating the new year in less than a week. Our company has to prepare for the annual banquet and of course, we need to prepare some performances. The dancing team does not have enough performers so you will join them as well! Fade was exasperated upon hearing that. "You're asking me to dance with them? Well, I am fine with singing, doing martial arts stunts, and even dancing alone. But if I were to dance with so many girls, I." Lily comforted Fade, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about Quin. I will explain to her. You just have put on your best performance." "But, I." Fade was still hesitating At this moment, Lily sighed, "If you don't agree, then I'll escalate this issue to Quin. I will mention that a certain senior member of the company is often absent from work, constantly late, and not doing his job properly. He is trying to find excuses just as the company is about to assign tasks to him... Helpless, Fade could only agree to Lily. "Stop. I promise I will perform, okay? Lily chuckled triumphantly. She rubbed her palms together and said, "Well, you and the girls should practice hard then. I don't want to see you embarrassing us when you perform at the annual banquet!" "Okay!" Fade could only agree before he sent Lily off her way. Fade greeted the other dancers. Fade was young and amiable in their opinion. Soon, they were no longer nervous being around Fade. Instead, they started to strike a conversation with Fade. Fade was relaxed too. He felt good that he could contribute to Quin's company this way However, he was instantly dumbfounded when the rehearsals started This was because it turned out to be a lovely girl group dance. The girls were in their sailor suits. Truth be told, they did look quite adorable. But for a brawny man like Fade, he seemed out of place. However, Fade could only practice with them silently. Well, he didn't have a choice, did he? Soon enough, Lily rented a large venue to gather all the staff members from Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and the Sincere Medicine Centre on the night of the company's annual banquet.
Chapter 1148 The annual banquet was at 7 in the evening. First, the president of the company would give a speech, followed by various performances. The atmosphere was getting livelier after a series of astonishing performances. Right then, a staff member came to remind Fade, "Mr. Chen, it's your turn to perform. You should start preparing." When Fade looked at the girls around him who were in their lovely sailor suits, and he in tight-fitting pink clothes, he wished he could just leave. He fought for what he wore now. Well, the original plan was for Fade to put on a sailor suit and perform on stage, dressed as a girl. However, Fade strongly insisted on wearing what he had on now. Although in Fade's opinion, this suit was still rather feminine. Soon, Fade heard the host introducing them. Fade and the girls went on stage, prepared to perform Just when they were on stage, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience. After all, a bunch of graceful girls was always a delight to see. Then, when the host yanked Fade, who was trying to cover himself, on stage, the cheers from the audience turned into sky-shattering yells, almost toppling the entire venue. "Mr. Chen, whoa!" "Dr. Chen, this outfit is beautiful. It suits you so well!' another shouted from the floor. "Mr. Chen, rock the place! Do a sexy dance! While listening to their screams, Fade's entire being was filled with exasperation In particular, Lily and Quin, who were sitting at the front, chortled in elation. Unlike their usual aloof personality, they were clapping their hands at this moment, their cheeks flushed with waves of laughter. Fade glared at them and was about to shout at them. However, at this moment, the music began Fade had no choice but to join the formation and began to dance. The audience was getting more excited at every passing second. Tumults of applause and shouting filled the air. Many employees were chanting Fade's name as if they were watching a star performing. When Fade glanced at the audience, he saw Quin and Lily were enjoying themselves, laughing. Suddenly, as if something struck his head, his lips quirked up into a smirk. Then, during an interlude, Fade directly jumped off the stage and walked towards Quin and Lily. "President Lin, Manager Wei, come and join me on stage!" At first, the audience was stunned. But when they saw Fade dragged Quin and Lily onto the stage, they clapped ardently. Quin and Lily were flabbergasted. They were enjoying themselves but little did they expect that Fade would drag them into his performance. "Fade, don't be silly!" Lily whispered. Quin also scowled at Fade and said, "Focus on your performance. Don't mess around. Turning a deaf ear to them, Fade screamed at the audience, "Now, I invite President Lin and Manager Wei to come on stage and dance with me. Please give them a round of applause!" "Whoa!" Fade grabbed their hands and brought them onto the stage. "President Lin! President Lin!" the audience screamed. "Manager Well Manager Wei!" A wave of enthusiastic cheers burst out from the audience. Fade simpered as he looked at both of them. "President Lin, Manager Wei, everyone is so on fire. You don't want to disappoint them, right? Both of them were rendered wordless. All they could do was glower at Fade while they were being brought on stage by Fade. Fade asked them to stand beside him, and muttered with a smile, "Just follow me and dance." Lily scowled at Fade mutely. After all, she was in charge of the dance. She had some recollection of the moves and started to follow along. Quin, on the other hand, was a little helpless. She wasn't good at singing and dancing. She looked stunned and as stiff as a piece of board. She did not anticipate this to happen at all. Besides, she looked quite tense. Her cheeks were flushed red. She was acting completely different from how she normally was, Seeing this, Fade tittered and came to Quin. He held her arms and whispered softly, "Follow my lead and dance." Quin nodded and moved slowly with Fade. As they swayed to the music, both of them were only inches away, almost gluing themselves to each other. They could feel the body heat from each other there and then Such an intimate act caused an even bigger uproar amongst the audience, bringing waves of deafening cheers. "Wow." a girl exclaimed. "President Lin, Mr. Chen, good job." "Good one! Encore!" another yelled. "Kiss now!" Not knowing who shouted that, the audience immediately chanted together, "Kiss, kiss, kiss!" Upon hearing this, Fade held Quin's right hand and hugged her on the waist. He lowered his head and chuckled gently. "Quin, they want us to kiss. Quin blushed, gave a warning look at Fade, and said, "You better not do that. Otherwise, I'll definitely punish you when we get back "Honey, our employees are demanding it. Can you really bear to refuse the crowd of what they want?" Fade asked. Quin rolled her eyes at Fade, and said, "It's all because of you. How would this happen if you didn't pull me up on this stage?" Fade didn't answer her. Without hesitation, he pulled Quin towards him, and at the sway of the music, he dipped her. Then, Fade leaned down and kissed Quin in front of hundreds of employees. Immediately, the audience burst into cheers, and the entire hall was reverberating their voices. After a long, passionate kiss that left Quin breathless, Fade finally let go of her lips. At this moment, Quin's cheeks were scarlet. She gave Fade a black look while stammering, "Y-y-you... Fade grabbed Quin's hand and said, "Honey, the music is over. It's time for us to take a bow." Immediately, both of them bowed to the audience, walked off the stage, and took their seats together. Then, the next performance began. After several performances in a row, the flush on Quin's cheeks finally faded. Yet, she continued to give Fade a death stare. "You can't imagine what I'm going to do to you when we get back to the hotel." After three hours, the performances finally came to an end. It was now the time to give away the annual bonuses. This particular session had the most attention from the audience. In this regard, Quin was very generous and gave every employee a whopping bonus. Another 500,000 yuans were also allocated for the raffle. The banquet was once again in an uproar. Eventually, the banquet came to an end, and everyone went back, contented,
Chapter 1149 As leaders, Fade and Quin had to stay back to take care of everything else before leaving Once everything was settled, Fade and Quin walked out of the venue together and were ready to drive home. However, when both of them reached the underground parking lot, Fade raised his hand to stop Quin. Something was not right. Two figures were seen standing at the entrance, a man and a woman who were about 20 to 30 years old. Although nothing about them was out of the ordinary, Fade couldn't help but be vigilant towards how imposing their vibes were. Fade's face fell and quickly he protected Quin behind him. 'Quin, get in the car, lock the door and start the engine. If something happens, drive away immediately." "But, you." Quin also noticed something was off and couldn't help but feel nervous and worried. Fade smiled at Quin and mumbled, "I'll be fine. Trust my abilities. I am Master Chen, and not many are my match." "But.." Quin was still worried. She wanted to dissuade Fade from facing them alone but it was out of her character to do so. She eventually got into the car, locked the door, and started the engine. Stay safe." Fade showed an assuring smile to Quin before he strode towards both of them. "You are... Just as Fade was about to ask their identity, the woman with a slightly petite built suddenly emanated a violent force and charged towards Fade ferociously. "Take this!" She was very agile. Her moves were fierce and precise. She was definitely no stranger to combat. Upon seeing this, Fade squinted his eyes, and whispered to himself, "This woman is definitely no ordinary person. I am afraid she has reached the Earth Level." Who was she? Was she sent by one of his local enemies from Jade City? Was she a member of the Skull Mob, or someone else? However, as Fade was thinking about it, the woman, Lucille Lin was already in front of Fade, ready to throw a punch at him. Lucille aimed a swift kick at Fade. Frozen for a brief second, Fade immediately extended his right hand to block her calf. With the right timing, angle, and little use of force, Fade was able to be free of Lucille's attack. "Looks like you have some skill!" Lucille seemed to be a little shocked at Fade's skill and cried out in surprise. However, just as she spoke, she launched another attack. Both of her hands were like claws, aiming straight at Fade's heart and neck. Fade narrowed his eyes, and snorted, "Your skill is not a match for me After finishing speaking, Fade stepped forward and radiated a strong force from his body. He punched the woman hard with both of his fists. Two heavy punches landed on both of Lucille's claws, Although she had skills and was powerful, she was just a woman. She had no chance of winning against someone as skillful as Fade. In the collision, Lucille couldn't withstand Fade's force from the heavy impact of his fists. She was knocked back onto the ground. She rose to her feet again, albeit staggering this time. Fade continued to attack Lucille. His right foot stomped on the ground, and the rebounding force sprung Fade up into the air before he used the momentum to push himself towards Lucille and kick her in the lower abdomen. Fade's kick was rather powerful. Her Dantian abdomen would surely either disintegrate or suffer a heavy injury. Lucille knew how deadly Fade's move was. Startled and frightened, she cried out immediately, "No!" However, Fade wasn't moved by her cry. He wasn't going to show her any mercy. At this moment, the man standing behind Lucille rushed out immediately and blocked Fade. He yelled, "Mr. Chen, we are not your enemies. Please have mercy, Fade didn't believe him and maintained his offense. When the man saw this, he pulled out his identification card hurriedly, showed it to Fade, and shouted, "Mr. Chen, we are from the Stealth." Fade couldn't help but be surprised as he looked at the identification. Nonetheless, Fade's foot landed on the man, even though it was with half the strength. Even so, the man was thrown away and ended up landing on the ground hard. He hit the ground with a loud thud, looking exceedingly miserable. Upon seeing this, Lucille hurriedly got up and came to the man. She held onto him and asked with concern, "Hollace, are you okay?" "I'm okay." Hollace Lin shook his head and looked at Fade who was approaching them "Mr. Chen, we really didn't come with bad intentions, but... At this moment, Lucille raised her head and glared at Fade, pouting. "We only wanted to test you out. Why do you have to be so ruthless?" Fade frowned when he heard her. He looked at Lucille, and said coldly, "Test me out? Do you do this to everyone? How about I test you instead?" "What's wrong with you? We are just.." Lucille continued. "Lucille, there's no need to explain. This was definitely our fault." Hollace quickly stopped Lucille, got up from the floor, and spoke, "Mr. Chen, we came to you for a very important matter" "What matters?" Fade was a little surprised. Spit it out already." Before Hollace could answer Fade, Lucille said displeasedly, "Well, we have come all the way to find you for your help. But look at how you are treating us. You are so.." Hollace glared at Lucille and hissed, "Don't be rude to Mr. Chen" Upon seeing this, Fade rolled his eyes and said, "There is a cafe outside, let's talk there. Hollace nodded and then stood up from the ground. Fade went back to Quin and reminded her to be careful before letting her go home first. After all, Fade didn't want Quin to risk being exposed to anything dangerous when dealing with the Stealth. Quin nodded and asked him to stay safe before driving back home. Fade arrived at the cafe with Hollace and Lucille. As it was getting late, there were not many people in the cafe, which was perfect for them to discuss such matters. After sitting down and ordering some drinks, Fade looked at both of them sternly and spoke, "You can tell me now what's going on." "Your attitude is really... Lucille muttered displeasingly. But Hollace immediately darted her a glare to signal her to shut up before she could finish. Hollace took out both their IDs and showed them to Fade. He then introduced themselves, "Mr. Chen, my name is Hollace Lin and this is Lucille Lin."
Chapter 1150 "We are from the headquarters of the Stealth in Capital City, and we are also part of another organization known as the Martial Arts League, Hollace explained. "Martial Arts League?" Fade frowned in confusion. Hollace explained immediately, "The Martial Arts League is a special organization formed by our official martial arts personnel and partnered with famous martial artists from the civil society. We conduct coordination with various martial artists, including its ranking and so on." Fade roughly understood what kind of organization this Martial Arts League was. He nodded and asked, "Why did you come looking for me?" Hollace took out a document, handed it to Fade, and said, "Mr. Chen, we are here for the release of the latest edition of the Martial Dragon List." "Martial Dragon List?" Fade frowned. He was vaguely familiar with it but could not remember what it was. Hollace continued to explain, "The Martial Dragon List is a ranking of young martial artists under the age of 36 created by the Martial Arts League. The ranking is based on your skills and potential. It is used as a reference for determining the level of different martial artists in the martial arts realm. It is also used to evaluate some martial arts activities! "I see, Fade nodded and said indifferently Lucille couldn't help but curl her lips. "I wonder if you really are a martial artist. You didn't have the slightest idea of what the Martial Dragon List is." Fade glanced at Lucille and ignored her. Hollace apologized immediately. "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Lucille is young and ignorant. Please don't take it to heart." Fade couldn't be bothered and said to Hollace, "What does the Martial Dragon List have to do with me?" Hollace opened the file and showed him a ranking while pointing at the name in the first row. He then said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, look. You are ranked first by the Martial Arts League in the current issue of Dragon List "I see. Fade nodded nonchalantly as if the ranking did not matter to him. Hollace was surprised at Fade's response. Lucille's brows became tightly knitted as she became more displeased. She hissed, "Well, just continue to pretend like you don't care. Everyone from the martial arts realm would love to have their name on the Dragon List." She crossed her arms and continued, "The top twenty martial artists are free to roam the entire country. They were admired and invited by countless clans and commercial companies." "The No. 1 on the Dragon List is the best of the bests. Both his clan and wealth are also the cream of the crop. More importantly, he can become the disciple of the top masters on the Divine Dragon List." She took a sip of coffee and added, "I know you are exhilarating right now and already planning to find who on the Divine Dragon List as your master. Stop pretending. We all know how you actually feel." Lucille looked as though she could see through Fade. Hollace also chimed in, "The Divine Dragon List is the ranking of martial artists outside the limits of the Dragon List. If the Dragon List is the ranking for the younger generation of martial artists, whereas the Divine Dragon List is the ranking of the top martial artists in the country" Hollace closed the file and continued, "The general of our army, General Jaguar Xu, and the guardians of the four clans are all in the top ten of Divine Dragon List." D Fade nodded and understood the significance of this Divine Dragon List, "I see. Lucille curled her lips into a smirk. Then she took out a document and handed it to Fade, saying, "This is an invitation from my master. He would like to have you as his disciple. This is a great opportunity. Just sign it! Fade looked at the invitation and was slightly astonished. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a master. I won't be looking for another one! When Lucille heard this, her face turned sulky at once. "Do you know who my master is? He is Galeno Zhu, ranked 16th on the Divine Dragon List. Do you know how many have begged him to teach them, but he rejected all of them. Now, my master is extending this opportunity to you, and you don't even know to appreciate it. You.. Fade glimpsed at Lucille, and retorted, "No matter who your master is, as I have said, I already have a master. I'm not looking for another one." "Besides, I don't think your master is qualified to train me" Fade's tone was indifferent but both of them could hear a tinge of confidence in his voice. Lucille was positively irate; she slammed at the table and bellowed, "You are way too arrogant. My master is really blind for actually liking you and wanting to accept you as his disciple. I." Fade Interjected calmly, "I never beg him to accept me as his disciple." "You." Lucille waved her fists. She wanted to plant a punch on his face. Fury was smoldering like a fire inside her at this moment. Fade glanced at her and said insouciantly, "Are you sure you are going to make this into a fight? This time, I won't show any mercy. Hearing this, Lucille's face darkened. Although enraged, she knew she was no match for Fade. She could only let Hollace take over the discussion. Hollace Immediately apologized to Fade, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry Lucille has a bad temper. I will let my master know about this when I get back." "Sure!" Fade nodded and asked, "Anything else?" Lucille almost burst out in anger at Fade's tone. He sounded as though he was trying to turn them away. She barked, "We have traveled all the way to convey this news to you, and this is how you treat us?!" "I didn't ask you to come, Fade replied indifferently. Lucille's rage was growing inside her like a tumor at this moment. Hollace, on the other hand, was rather patient. He hurriedly calmed Lucille down before explaining to Fade with a smile, "Mr. Chen, forgive me. The purpose of us coming here is mainly to convey this news to you, and at the same time, asking about your thoughts on discipleship on behalf of our master." He paused for a while and continued, "Truth be told, it's because of you defeating Titan and killing Song Khan that you've earned a name for yourself in Jade City. Immediately, you became the number one martial artist on the Dragon List." "It's a shame to say we are also on the Dragon List. I am at the twelfth place, and Lucille is at the eighteenth" He lowered his head while shaking it. "We wanted to see what you are about but did not expect you to be this skilled, Lucille was a little impatient and wanted to challenge you. Please forgive us whatever happened earlier" Fade immediately understood where they were coming from. Lucille was spoiled but she did have some skills. When she saw that he was ranked the first, she was dissatisfied and decided to come to challenge him. "I understand!" Fade nodded and said, "Since we're both from the Stealth, I will forgive her." "But if there ever is a second time, I won't show any mercy" Fade warned, his voice as flat as a stove lid. Hollace put his hand on his chest immediately and promised, "Mr. Chen, rest assured, there won't be a next time."
Chapter 1151 Lucille pouted in dissatisfaction when she heard what Hollace said, but she dared not say anything else. After all, she had witnessed how powerful Fade was in the parking lot, and she knew very clearly she could not fight him. Then, Fade got up and said, "If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving. You should return as well." With that, Fade went out of the cafe. Hollace and Lucille were stunned. They never expected Fade to be so decisive. There was no hint of hesitance in his face. As Hollace watched Fade walking out, a realization suddenly dawned on him. He shouted, "Mr Chen, there is something else that I wanted to remind you!" However, Lucille interrupted and hissed angrily, "Hollace, don't tell him. We came all the way to bring him this piece of good news. But, look at the way he treats us. Let him bel" Hollace had already lost his chance since Fade was already far away. He let out a sigh and decided to let it pass. He mused under his breath, "Let's hope that you will be more careful, Mr. Chen. After all, you now have a target on your back since you're at the top of the Martial Dragon List. I am afraid you will get into trouble very soon." "Hmph, didn't he say that he is very skillful? If anything happens, he should be able to handle it on his own," Lucille remarked sarcastically Hollace exhaled deeply. "If that's the case, then we are done here. Let's go back!" Lucille pursed her lips when she heard that. "Hollace, we have just arrived in Jade City. Why are we going back so soon?" "We've done what needed to, and our master is... Lucille immediately shook Hollace's arm and pleaded, "Hollace, since we're already here, can't you just bring me around? It's Jade City!" She pouted her lips like a spoiled, pampered princess. "I want to visit Disneyland, Victoria Harbor, and many other places. Please bring me there!" Hollace could only nod his head and said, "Okay, okay. Let's stay for two more days and enjoy ourselves in Jade City before we head back." "Yeah! You are the best!" She hugged Hollace's arm in excitement. Fade left the cafe and returned to the hotel. Quin quickly got up and walked towards Fade when she saw him entering the room. "You're back! Are you okay? What about those two fellas?" Fade saw how anxious Quin was. He couldn't help but feel touched. He answered with a smile, "Don't worry, honey. I'm fine, They came in peace and wanted to convey a message." Fade briefly explained what happened to Quin. Although Quin could not fully understand, she was relieved knowing that Fade was all right The next day, the employees began to take their holidays for the new year, especially for those who were transferred from Dragonville. They had been busy for several months, they took this much-deserved break to spend time with their families. Quin and Fade also planned to return to Dragonville after they wrapped up all the loose ends in Jade City. At this moment, Momo pleaded with Fade, "Fade, can you do me a favor?" "What's the matter, Momo?" Fade asked. After moments of hesitation, Momo grabbed the hem of her clothes and told him, "Fade, I would like you to head back to South Bay City with me for the New Year." "Huh? But." Fade was taken aback at what Momo just asked. Quin was literally next to him! Then, Momo saw what a difficult position she placed Fade in and quickly explained, "I didn't mean that. Actually, the Soo family is holding an annual banquet for the New Year "Well, as you know, my family has arranged for me to be engaged to Hector from the Yao family. The Yao family will probably come to propose at the annual banquet. I don't intend to say yes, so I am hoping you could come with me." Her shoulders slumped as she added, "After all when we were in Bay City, you pretended to be my boyfriend in front of my aunt. So, this time, I think..." Momo was beseeching Fade. Fade was in a dilemma. Well, it was definitely acceptable for him to pretend to be her boyfriend under normal circumstances. However, going back with her and especially during New Year was a totally different story. "Hmm, your sister." Momo interjected hastily, "Fade, I'll handle Quin as long as you agree to it." "Still, I don't think it's a good idea!" Fade felt torn Momo pouted angrily. "Fade, you have promised me that you will offer help when I need it. It's the first thing asked for and you're already breaking your promise. Hmph, I'm going to show Quin those photos When Fade heard that, he could only nod his head. "Well, I can agree to it. However, you'll need to get your sister's approval first." Tittering, Momo nodded and said, "Great. I'll discuss it with her now." Then, Momo went to Quin's room, Fade wasn't sure of how the conversation went. About ten minutes later, they walked out of the room together Momo said gleefully, "Fade, Quin has agreed. You're following me back to South Bay City! "Well. Fade looked at Quin in surprise Quin glanced at Fade and stated calmly, "Momo told me everything. I understand that you are just trying to help her. You will follow Momo back while I'll head back to Dragonville with Lily." Quin looked rather composed; she even gave a faint smile to Fade. However, Fade could tell that Quin was distancing herself from him. A pang of pain coursed through his vein at that moment Disappointed, he nodded and looked at her while promising. "I will head back immediately once Momo has managed to turn that boy down. I will try to get back to you before New Year Eve so we can celebrate it together." "Okay," Quin responded calmly, nothing else. "By the way, it's late. You guys should rest. You still need to pack before leaving tomorrow." With that, Quin headed back to the room. Fade felt something was wrong with Quin but he couldn't place his finger on it. Fade sighed and went to rest after washing up
Chapter 1152 Quin locked the door as soon as she returned to her room She wept silently as a wave of loneliness crept in. Tears started rolling down her cheeks as her body clammed up to the rhythm of her sobs. She wiped the tears and ripped a piece of paper out of her notebook from the cupboard just above her bed, She looked at it blankly as a thought flashed across her mind all of a sudden. She let out a deep sigh and whispered to herself, "When we first got married, I never thought that we would become like this." " thought would hate you, and get a divorce after our contract ended. However, I realized how much I've gotten used to this kind of life. Her tears wet the back of her hands. "I've gotten used to you being by my side, and when I needed help, or when I was weak, even when I was hesitant." "I have no idea how many times you have helped me over the past year. I'm unsure when I've made room for you in my heart." She took a piece of tissue paper and wiped off the tears on her cheeks "You are my savior, my lucky star, and my husband. I want to be with you forever." "However, it seems that the chance has passed." Once again, she buried her head between her legs. "You have done so much and risked too much for me. I am not worthy of you, and I don't want to see you live in such a life with me either." "So, it's time for me to make a choice. I can't be so selfish. I can't continue to keep you by my side and let you continue to risk everything for me. She lifted her head and patted on her chest. "From now on, I hope you can live your life well without me "It doesn't matter if it's Momo, Lily, Winnie, Yuri, Xenia, or Mindy. They are all good ladies and better choices than I am. I wish you absolute happiness." An air of melancholy surrounded Quin as she sobbed silently. She kept the paper in the notebook and tried to calm herself down, pretending as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Fade had no idea what she was thinking at all. The next day, Quin, Lily, and some of the executives of the company returned to Dragonville after wrapping up everything at work. Fade and Momo, on the other hand, were preparing to return to South Bay City However, before leaving, Fade purposefully went to inquire about the latest situation of Harper, Sonia, and Abell was in Initially, Fade asked Falcon to take them away, teach them a lesson and send them away. However, what happened had shocked Fade. Fade never expected Falcon to end up training them after taking them to the Stealth These three spoiled brats were throwing tantrums again like little kids soon after Fade left them. Besides being disobedient, they even retaliated at the Stealth. They also threatened that they would get someone to beat the members of the Stealth up and vanquish them eventually through their family connections. As a result, the Stealth was furious, especially when the person in charge knew that Abell was part of them. Therefore, the person in charge designed a set of special training for them and kept them at the Stealth Team base to shape their characters and force them to reflect upon their actions, Fade thought that they had already gone back to Jade City long ago. Little did he know they were still training in the Stealth, albeit in much agony. Fade was over the moon. After all, a little training and lesson wouldn't hurt them. After that, Fade and Momo briefly packed up their stuff and took a plane to South Bay City They arrived shortly as South Bay City was not far from Jade City. After getting off the plane, Momo tried to call the Soo family to pick them up. However, something caught her mind just as she was about to dial the phone. She hung up abruptly, "I almost forgot something important." "What's the matter?" Fade looked at Momo curiously. Momo answered, "I need to buy some gifts before going back to my house." "Gifts? Fade parroted. Momo explained, "I am bringing you back as their son-in-law, of course, I have to prepare some gifts for my family members. Otherwise, they are going to look down on you." Fade was startled as he did not consider this at all. "Well, as their son-in-law, I should indeed get some gifts for them. Fade chuckled. Momo's face blushed at once. She glared at Fade and said, "Fade, you're teasing me again. Hmph!" Fade tousled Momo's hair and replied, "You silly girl. How could you say that I'm teasing you when I'm actually helping you? Should I leave you to go back home alone?" "Alright, Fade I'll listen to you. Don't leave. Let's buy some gifts," Momo grabbed Fade's arm and begged him. Fade nodded and responded, "Yeah. However, I don't know what they like. You'll have to give some suggestions." Momo patted her chest. "Don't worry, I'll handle it." Then, Momo hired a cab and told the driver, "Pentagon Street, please. Then, the driver started driving Momo explained to Fade, "Pentagon Street is a famous antique street in South Bay City, with all kinds of antiques, calligraphies, paintings, jade, gems, and many more. It's really well-known." "The Soo family has been around for very long. Some of our ancestors were top scholars in their respective times and eras. Hence, we are considered a family of scholars. In general, everyone in my family likes antiques, calligraphies, and paintings, told Momo. "Especially my grandfather, Egbert Soo. He collects calligraphies and paintings as his pastime: So, we have to get a piece of nice calligraphy to keep him happy." Fade nodded as he listened to Momo. Soon, they arrived at Pentagon Street. As soon as they got off the cab, Fade saw various goods being sold at the stalls. The stall owners were welcoming the guests warmly, attracting them to their stalls. The customers were carefully inspecting the antiques with their magnifying glasses. They were trying to look for any flaws that could knock the price down for a couple of notches. However, Momo did not stop by these stalls. She walked into the street instead. "Most of the goods at the stalls outside are fake. It's impossible to find a flaw. Those could only trick people who don't know the industry. We have to get into the well-known shops to get the real deal.
Chapter 1153 After walking for a short while, they came across an old-looking building. "This is Treasure Hall the best antique shop in South Bay City" Momo introduced it. She then entered the shop with Fade. The shop was gigantic. It was packed with people and was home to a vast selection of items. Fade and Momo began browsing through the items sold. There were a lot of excellent products on display, but they were all pretty cheap with a price range of a few thousand to a few ten thousand yuan. There were a few exceptions that cost more than a hundred thousand yuan, however. These products were obviously very rare and luxurious for the masses, but for someone like Fade and Momo, they were very common Therefore, Fade said to Momo after he took a quick glance around, "Let's go upstairs and see if there is anything better upstairs." Momo thought for a while and shook her head, "Let's pick something out here first, something cheap. It's the thought that counts, right? We will get something better for Grandpa later." After hearing what Momo said, Fade nodded in agreement. He then let Momo pick out around six to seven objects that cost about a hundred thousand yuan in total. Momo paid for them all. They put all that away, and now it was time for the main event: they were going to choose a gift for Egbert. Egbert was the head of the Soo family and had a profound love for calligraphy. A common gift wouldn't be able to capture his attention. Hence, Fade and Momo went to the second and third floor to browse for a better gift. However, they were somewhat disappointed. The products on display on the second and third floors were miles better than the first floor, with their prices ranging from a hundred thousand yuan to more than a hundred million yuan. However, Momo wasn't impressed. They weren't exclusive enough. If they got anything there for Egbert, he probably wouldn't like it. Egbert might even think that Fade was just trying to undermine him. After all, calligraphy was his passion. Both of them talked to the owner and asked him to display his finest calligraphy products but ultimately, Momo did not fancy any of them. However, it made sense. Egbert was the head of the Soo family and a calligraphy enthusiast. Treasure Hall was also the best antique store in the area. Egbert must have been there countless times by now. If there were anything here that caught Egbert's eyes, he must have purchased it already. Given the wealth of the Soo family, spending millions on antiques was probably normal They lingered around in the shop but still couldn't find anything suitable. Momo frowned and wanted to just simply get a gift for Egbert and be done with it. At that moment, the owner came over and said, "Hello, there is an Antique Appreciation Conference going on right now in our backyard. Maybe you would find something you like there? "Antique Appreciation Conference? What's that?" Momo asked. The owner answered, "The Antique Appreciation Conference is an appreciation event held by several famous shops in Pentagon Street together with some of our regular customers. Everyone will bring in their prized antique collection and gather around to have a little exhibition" "If you find anything you like, you could also purchase it straight from the owner." Fade and Momo's eyes lit up instantly after they heard what he said. It was because there were bound to be some rare antiques present at the conference. After all, the people attending were famous shop owners and crazed antique collectors. "Could you please bring us there?" Momo asked. After that, both of them went to the backyard of Treasure Hall under the owner ts escort. The backyard was quite spacious. It had been modelled into a small marketplace with rare antiques on display for onlookers to admire. Fade and Momo immediately headed towards the calligraphy section and began to carefully go through all the antiques there. They wanted to find something for Egbert and also hope that the owner would be willing to part with it. In the end, Momo did take a liking to some of the paintings and drawings, but the price was too high. Some of the owners weren't looking to sell their stuff too. Momo was distraught. Just as they were about to call it a day and leave. A crowd of people were gathered and were making a large commotion about something in front "Mr. Liu, come and have a look. What do you think about this painting? "I think it's a counterfeit. This doesn't look like the work of Einstein Zheng!" "However, judging by the markings on the paper, it seems to be from the same era. Upon hearing that, Fade and Momo shot each other a look and said, "Let's go take a look." They squeezed through the crowd and saw an ancient calligraphy painting being displayed on a table. Everyone gathered around the table and were admiring and discussing it. The owner of the painting was a sixty-year old man with grey hair and wrinkles. He stood at the side, silently watching everyone admire his painting. His name was Oberon At that point, a few collectors had already begun talking to him. They tried to get more information out of him about the painting. "Mister, where is this painting from? "Einstein Zheng's paintings are a national treasure! If this is genuine, then it would be a priceless relic!" "Mister, do you have a price in mind? How much are you asking for this painting?" Oberon gave them a simple reply. He had a straight face and said, "I'm not letting this painting go for less than twenty million yuan. For those that are skeptical about the authenticity of the painting, you can leave now." B The price swayed a lot of buyers. A lot of them were hesitant. After all, Oberon said that this was a genuine piece of Einstein Zheng's work. He wouldn't have sold it if it weren't for some family issues Now, if what he said was true, these collectors would battle it out even if it was two hundred million yuan. However, there was a glaring problem. Everyone was scrutinising the painting, yet they couldn't verify its legitimacy. That was because everyone knew Einstein's work too well. Everyone had memorized his every stroke and even his handwriting down to every last detail. Of course, there were a lot of imitators as well. Hence, even when they saw some traces of Einstein's techniques on the painting, no one was able to discern if that piece of art was forged or not. After all, modern counterfeiting technology was very advanced. Even professionals would commit the occasional blunder sometimes. In addition, if these groups of collectors made the wrong judgment, two hundred million yuan was not a small sum of money It was precisely because of that that everyone seemed interested but were reluctant to put out an offer Momo also looked at the painting, but she wasn't very knowledgeable about it. She wasn't any better than these collectors.
Chapter 1154 They couldn't verify the painting, and Momo obviously couldn't fork out two hundred million yuan on the spot. So, after a short while, she lost hope and shook her head, sighing, "Fade, let's go. Suddenly, Fade grabbed her and said, "Wait, let me take a look." "Fade, do you know something about antique paintings?" Momo was curious. Fade shook his head, "Of course not. "Then, what are you... Momo was speechless. Fade then patted Momo on the head and smiled, "Trust me. I may not know a thing about paintings, but I can tell a fake and genuine painting apart" After saying that, Momo looked at Fade in awe. He bowed down and said to Oberon, "Can I touch the painting?" Oberon looked at Fade and hesitated, Sure, but be careful, or else. "Don't worry, sir, I won't ruin the painting" Fade smiled and placed his finger on the painting and gently touched it. Fade then withdrew his hand and nodded at Momo before telling her, "This is genuine. Let's get it! "Fade, how did you." Momo was confused. She didn't know how he did that. Everyone else was totally bewildered. "Young man, how do you know the painting is genuine? "You can tell just by touching it? Oh come on!" "Dude, tell us how you did it." Fade remained silent despite being bombarded by questions He didn't explain to them and simply said, "Oh it's nothing. I just think that the painting is genuine" After that, he had already taken out his card and began negotiating with Oberon. Everyone else heard that and were riled up. Some of the people that had the intention of buying it earlier started to get anxious. "Sir, I want to buy it too, Wait" "Count me in, I want to place a bid too. Some of them got excited and rushed up to bid. However, there were still some calm minds among the crowd. They said something out loud. "Everyone, don't be too impulsive. This old gentleman and this dude look so unfamiliar! It seems too much of a coincidence that they appeared on Pentagon Street in South Bay City out of nowhere!" "It is indeed too much of a coincidence. Also, the way this dude judges the calligraphy painting is really unique!" Hearing this, everyone snapped back to their senses and put on a straight face. Indeed, Fade's appearance was too sudden, and his way of judgment seemed too unimaginable. The whole thing looked like a scam, and the purpose was to induce people like them to bid and spend money on this painting. With that thought in mind, the few people who were excited to bid just now shrank back and looked hesitant. Fade didn't mind explaining anything to them. He looked at Oberon and said, "Sir, don't bother about them. I want to buy your painting, so please name your price" Oberon looked a little worried too when he looked at the onlookers who had a skeptical look on their faces. Therefore, he didn't continue to drag on and said to Fade, "20 million yuan it is. Pay me 20 million yuan and I will sell it to you right away." "Well, sir, 20 million yuan should be the starting price. I won't take advantage of you, so I'll pay you 25 million yuan" After that, Fade took out his credit card directly and swiped it on the spot. Oberon didn't expect Fade to give him an extra five million yuan. He immediately bloomed into a smile. He settled the formalities with Fade quickly, collected the money, and handed Fade the calligraphy painting. Fade put away the calligraphy painting and said to Momo, "That's done, I've bought a gift for your Grandpa. I think this antique calligraphy painting should be able to please him." Morno still felt like everything was a little unbelievable at this moment. She nodded and responded, "Grandpa likes Einstein's paintings very much. If it's genuine, he will definitely like it. "That's fine, I promise this calligraphy painting is genuine" Fade smiled confidently. He was about to leave with her. Just then, Momo hesitated, saying, "Fade, but." "What's wrong? Do you still want to buy anything else?" Fade asked. Momo shook her head and answered, "Fade, it's not about that. It's just that this painting is too valuable to be a gift. Besides, it costs so much, it's." Momo's initial plan was to buy some gifts with her own money. Her budget was between a few hundred thousand yuan to a few million yuan. She could afford this price herself. It was also appropriate for the Soo family to give it as a gift on such an occasion. But now, Fade had spent 25 million yuan just to purchase Einstein's calligraphy painting, which was way too expensive. This made Momo feel that this was a little inappropriate. After all, she was the one who asked Fade to pretend to be her boyfriend. It didn't feel right to make him spend so much on her. Looking at Momo's hesitant appearance, Fade understood her thoughts instantly. He patted her head and smiled, saying, "Have you forgotten my current status? It's only over 20 million yuan. This small sum of money is just a drop in the bucket for me, so you don't have to care about it." Upon hearing this, Momo thought of Fade's net worth. After he became the famous Master Chen in Jade City and controlled 51% of the share in the Li family, his net worth had long exceeded tens of billions yuan. 25 million yuan was really just a drop in the bucket for him. Thinking of this, Momo was relieved. She nodded and thanked him with a cheery smile "Thank you so much for your gift this time. I will buy you a gift next time." "Okay, then I'll wait for your present!" Fade laughed. They were ready to leave. After the people around listened to their conversation, they couldn't help sighing and erupted into another discussion. "More than 20 million yuan is just a drop in the bucket for them? They're too wealthy!" "This dude looks so unfamiliar. He's not a local here in South Bay City, isn't he?" "Probably not. Who else can spend more than 20 million yuan easily in South Bay City? I can count off Zarriah Soo, Hector Yao, and maybe a few more. Everyone knows them. "Tsk tsk, it's so nice to be wealthy!" Fade and Momo walked away from the sighs and discussions. However, after taking a few steps away, a man who looked around 27 to 28 years old stood in front of Fade and Momo, blocking their way. This man was wearing a retro sky blue robe, looking handsome with his bright and clear eyes He walked over with a smile with his hands on his back, revealing a well demeanour. The gazes of the people around them, especially the women. couldn't help but be focused on his figure.
Chapter 1155 Fade frowned as his way was being blocked. He looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" Momo frowned, equally displeased, "What do you want?" The man smiled and then responded, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything. I only have one thing to discuss with both of you, "What's the matter?" Fade asked. The man pointed to the calligraphy painting that Fade had put away and smiled faintly, answering. It's nothing big. I just hope that you can give this calligraphy painting to me." Hearing this, Fade couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in dissatisfaction, He paused for a moment and then shook his head, refusing, "I'm sorry, I don't want to sell this calligraphy painting. Please leave now!" However, the man did not intend to get out of the way. Instead, he looked at Fade with a grin and continued to say, "Mister, I think it's better for you to give me this painting. There are some things that may not turn out to be a good thing if you have them. Although he still had a smile on his face at the moment, was a commanding and threatening one As soon as the man said this, the expressions of Fade and Momo froze. Fade's expression became indifferent. He was not afraid of the man's threat at all. He warned, "I don't think so. I'm not interested in negotiating with you too. Get out of my way!" When the other party saw this, a hint of anger flashed on his smiling cheeks. However, he still said, "Mister, I think you'd better think about what I said carefully again. This is South Bay City, and my name is Luther Chee. Maybe you can ask around about who I am." "Luther?" Fade had no impression of hearing this name before. Momo frowned and thought about it before saying, "After I returned home from school, I seemed to have heard someone mention this name before, but I can't remember the specific situation As they were still thinking about it, the onlookers beside them all looked extremely shocked when they heard Luther's name. A surprised discussion began to erupt in the crowd. "Luther, someone from East Deer Academy in East City!" "We can't afford to provoke someone from East Deer Academy. Young man, you'd better give him the calligraphy painting "That's right, Luther is a disciple of the Principal of the East Deer Academy Don't mess with such a person." The people crowded around began to persuade Fade with a look of fear. At this moment, Momo listened to the people around them and finally remembered who Luther was. She whispered in Fade's ear immediately and explained it to him "Fade, East Deer Academy is a force that has suddenly risen in South Bay City over the past six months." "In just over half a year, East Deer Academy has become one of the major forces in South Bay City. It was already on par with the Soo family and the Yao family before we could realise what was happening." "The most important thing is that Valko Chu, the Principal of East Deer Academy, is a martial artist at the master level. I heard that he is a master on some kind of Martial Dragon List and many people serve him." "Luther is one of Valko's personal disciples. He seems to be very highly skilled and has made a name for himself in the martial arts world of South Bay City." Hearing this, Fade was a little surprised. After all, he had just received the news that he had reached the top rank of the Martial Dragon List from Hollace and Lucille. Right now, he actually encountered master disciples on the Martial Dragon List being arrogant to him in South Bay City Feeling that such a coincidence was rather hilarious, Fade shook his head and said to Momo, "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if it's the East Deer Academy or the master of the Martial Dragon List, they're all nothing to me." Fade didn't lower his voice when he said that, thus everyone present clearly heard it For a while, everyone fell silent. Luther's expression, who looked proud at first, became a little callous. He wiped the smile off his face, looked at Fade and said coldly, "What did you say!" Fade took a side glance at Luther and replied blandly, "I said, don't get in my way. You'd better get out of my way right now!" Hearing this, Luther's expression completely turned livid. He stared at Fade ferociously and said, "Originally, I wanted to spend money to buy the calligraphy painting in your hand." "But now, I won't spend even a single penny on the calligraphy painting." After speaking, Luther roared sternly, waved his hand and commanded, "Go, snatch the calligraphy painting. Be careful, don't damage the valuables." Hearing this, the two uniformed subordinates behind Luther dashed out immediately. They were about to attack Fade and snatch his calligraphy painting away. Upon seeing this, Fade snorted Indifferently and rebuked them sternly, "You guys actually rob others' belongings in broad daylight. Do you guys even know of the law?" Luther snorted coldly and retorted, "Law? What a joke. It seems that you still don't understand the position of the East Deer Academy! Even the Soo family and Yao family have to send the things we want to us obediently. Who do you think you are? How dare you violate the order of our East Deer Academy? You're simply digging your own grave." "Let's see who's the one really digging their own grave here. Fade was really infuriated. He squinted a little, lowered his voice and let out an angry roar from his throat. At that moment, Luther's two subordinates also rushed up and were about to attack Fade. However, Fade's movement was faster than them and he slapped them on their faces twice. Fade's strength was so great that the two men were thrown into the air directly They whirled in the air before and flew a distance away. Finally, they slammed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood from their mouths. Their cheeks were extremely red and swollen, and they could not move at all. With that, everyone at the scene was stunned. "He actually defeated two people with just one move. T-t-this... This is just too awesome!" "That's a disciple of East Deer Academy! Is this dude also a martial artist? "But, it will only irritate Luther even more in this case! Even if he's highly skilled, he can't possibly match up to East Deer Academy!" "That's right. Young men tend to be too impulsive. Sheesh!" During the discussion, Luther looked very gloomy. He stared at Fade ferociously and gritted his teeth, cursing, "How dare you hurt my men! You're definitely risking your neck by hurting East Deer Academy's men!" Fade frowned and looked at Luther, who was approaching with a gloomy expression. Fade let out a callous cry, "Get lost!" Then, he slapped Luther on his face in the same way. "How dare you hit mel Diel" Luther was enraged and screamed. An ominous glow shined in his hand to reveal a small dagger. He then stabbed it towards Fade's heart Upon seeing this, Fade squinted as a hint of murderous intent appeared on his face as he warned, "You're too vicious. Your actions are so murderous." While speaking, a red light flashed Fade's palm. The light looked like flames, flickering and burning in the wind. Then, he headed directly towards Luther's dagger, the wind whistling behind him.
