Chapter 1231 Ryan, who was walking over presently, also noticed Fade. Shocked, he took a few steps back and exclaimed, "You, why are you here?!" "I believe should be the one asking you this question!" Fade's expression turned cold as he strode towards Ryan. Ryan immediately grew frightened. He turned around and ran towards the elevator, waving his hands as he screamed for help, Security, security! Come over quickly. Help!" Before the security guards could come over, Fade had already grabbed hold of Ryan. An invisible force had pulled Ryan back in an instant, right into Fade's hands Clasping his fingers around Ryan's neck, Fade asked coldly, "Tell me, what's going on? Why did you come back, and take over the chairman position of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc? Where is Lily? Ryan's eyes fluttered as his mouth gaped like a fish. It seemed that he was reluctant to answer Fade's questions. Fade did not want to waste time. He snorted coldly, and pinched Ryan on the right arm. Immediately, with a cracking sound, Ryan's right arm was bent into a strange angle. He screamed in pain as sweat dripped down from his forehead. "Are you willing to answer me now?' Fade asked, glaring at Ryan. Ryan was frightened when he met Fade's cold gaze. He nodded in pain and replied, "I'll tell you, I will" "Then do it!" Fade snapped. Enduring the pain in his arm, Ryan responded, "About two days after you left, a group of people came. They found me and said that they would like to help me become the chairman of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. All I needed to do was to cooperate with them." "I didn't believe it at first. However. Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's sales and supply chain had encountered a problem, which had directly affected the operation of the company. I didn't know how they did it either" "After that, I trusted them. I came to the company with them and with their help, we threatened President Wei. Using the company's performance, we forced President Wei to give up her position and let me take her place." "What?" Fade's gaze was icy cold. He glared at Ryan and snapped, "Who are they? Why are they doing this?" Ryan shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I don't know who they are. But they're really powerful and resourceful." "I asked them for their reason, too. They simply told me that they had a grudge against Mr. Chen, so they wanted to ruin your life and force you out." "They had a grudge against me and wanted to force me out!" Fade's expression darkened. "Where are they now?" "1, I don't know. They are probably in Sincere Medicine Center or Scott Entertainment. As these companies are your commodities, they... Ryan replied. Hearing that, Fade did not waste another minute on Ryan. He threw Ryan onto the ground and left the company immediately. Feeling extremely anxious, Fade was preparing to rush to the Sincere Medicine Center. However, he had calmed down after taking a few steps, and immediately fished out his cell phone to call Lily. However, he was met with a series of beeps indicated that the phone had been turned off. Fade instantly felt worried, and quickly called Scott. This time, after a series of beeps, the call was finally connected, Before Fade could speak, Scott's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Brother Fade, is that you?" "It's me. Scott, what's the situation now? Is everything alright on your end?" Fade asked frantically Scott replied, "Brother Fade, everything is fine here. Recently, a group of people came to Dragonville City and said that they wanted to deal with you. What actually happened? I'm also not sure what happened" Fade replied. "By the way, do you know where Lily is?" Scott replied, "Brother Fade, Sister Lily with the Sun family now. After she left the company, she went straight to them. Fade was slightly relieved upon hearing this. "The Sun family has Francesca Sun watching over them. Now that she has advanced to the early stage of the Earth Level, she should be able to handle ordinary enemies. Sister Lily has made a wise choice to rush to the Sun family." Just then, Scott suddenly shouted, "Sh*t, what the f*ck?" "What's the matter, Scott? Are you okay?" Fade asked in a panic. Scott quickly answered, "Brother Fade, I'm fine. It's Tom. I just received a message from him saying that the group of people are currently causing trouble at the Sun family" "What? I'll rush over there right away!" Fade stated coldly. "Brother Fade, I'll meet you there, Scott agreed. "Okay, see you later." Fade then hung up the phone. Immediately after, Fade rushed over to the Sun family. On his way there, his brain reeled. Who was the person who was trying to deal with him? in fact, given his status and prestige in Dragonville City, even if he were to overlook the ordinary family companies, even some small families and clans that hail from martial arts backgrounds, would not dare come up and cause trouble, After all, he possessed quite an intimidating prestige in the martial arts world. However, the other party had not only came to make trouble, but was also launching attacks against his own forces. They even attacked the Sun family This showed that the strength of the other party was not ordinary. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to mess with the Sun family "It could be a foreign power. But who is it?" Fade was trying hard to recall the people who held a grudge against him. He had offended a few merchants in Jade City and warriors from all over the world. It could also be members of the Blood Blade Killer Organization, or members of the mysterious Skull Mob. Feeling a little worried, Fade could not help but speed up, rushing toward the Sun family When Fade arrived at the entrance of the Sun family's house, he noticed that the sturdy wood-and-iron door had been blown to smithereens. Moreover, several of the Sun family's guards were groaning on the ground. They were seriously injured and covered in blood. "Those people." Fade's eyes were clouded with rage at the sight. He injected several surges of positive energy into the guards to stop their bleeding quickly before dashing into the Sun family's house, In the courtyard, there were obvious traces of a fight. Everything was in a mess. All manner of things were scattered on the ground, and blood was everywhere. The sounds of fighting could be heard faintly from the room beyond. Upon hearing that, Fade streaked in like a flash of lighting. As he got closer, the noise inside became clearer. "Haha, is this the strength of the so-called top family in Dragonville City? It's not even worth mentioning!" "Old hag, are you going to continue to keep your mouth shut? If you don't speak up now, you'll die." B
Chapter 1232 In the hall of the Sun family, the silver-haired Francesca was currently fighting a 30-year-old man in uniform, her expression gravid. Francesca was a martial arts master in the early stages of the Earth Level, and she had a lot of fighting experience. She was a skilled combatant. However, her current challenger did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he seemed to be growing more and more excited. With a smile etched in the corner of his mouth, he met Francesca's attacks head-on while saying, "Old hag, I hadn't expect you to hold out this long. You have really exceeded my expectations!" "Not anyone can bully the Sun family Francesca declared solemnly. "Oh really?" The man sneered and sped up. Francesca was forced to retreat repeatedly in the face of his continuous onslaught. Just then, the middle-aged man glanced at the other family members of the Sun family behind Francesca. He said teasingly, "That little girl looks so pretty. Is she your granddaughter? Since you are disobedient, I will ask her to serve me well later." "How dare you!" Francesca instantly flew into a rage at the provocation. Gritting her teeth, she launched an attack, charging viciously towards the man. The middle-aged man felt Francesca's assault and took a few steps back. However, he quickly grew accustomed to her attacks and blocked them easily. "Are you angry? I was just saying. How about do a demonstration on the spot now and let you be the audience?" he sneered. "You... The fury in Francesca's eyes was evident. She gritted her teeth and used up all the power within her body as she launched a vicious attack at the man. Just then, an elder who looked to be in his sixties stated coldly, "Hawkin, stop playing. It's time to get serious now!" "Yes! Master!" The middle-aged man responded upon hearing his words. With an evil smile playing at the corner of his mouth, he sneered, "Old hag, I will ask you one last time. Where is Fade? Ask him to come out now." Francesca's expression was solemn as she said through gritted teeth, "I've already told you. I don't know where he is. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." "Really? Then go to hell!" With his lips curled into a cruel smile, he struck his palm out. His powerful attack sent Francesca flying, as she wasn't able to block it. She hurtled backwards, blood spurting from her mouth. Upon seeing this, every member of the Sun family exclaimed in fright. "Elder!" "Grandma!" "Mother!" The people of the Sun family ran to Francesca anxiously, glaring at the people in uniforms. "What on Earth do you want?" "We have already said that we do not know the whereabouts of Fade. Why are you still treating us like this?" "You don't know?" The man who had sent Francesca flying, sneered. "You think you can cut off your relationship with him just by saying you don't know about it? Do you think we don't know? The Sun family is Fade's biggest dog in Dragonville City" "We are just...." The Sun family members wanted to refute, but they did not know what to say. The man continued to sneer and said, "Spare me the explanation. Since Fade is unwilling to stand up for you, then you should pay the price for him!" After saying that, the man raised his hand and gathered a frightening amount of positive energy in the center of his palm. With a terrifying aura, he was about to thrust it toward Francesca. Upon seeing this, the faces of the Sun family members were filled with dismay. They wanted to stop him, but the didn't know how to stop someone who had managed to defeat even Francesca. "You hag, go to hell now!" He snarled as a cruel smile played on his lips. He was about to thrust his palm out at Francesca. Just then, a figure dashed into the hall and said in a cold voice, "Did you ask for my permission before hurting my people?" "Uh... The man's expression instantly changed upon hearing the voice. He swiftly redirected his palm to attack the figure. However, the figure moved faster than him, landing a slap on the man named Hawkin. The two men's palms collided with each other, resulting in a shockwave that exploded in a loud roar. Then, the man's expression turned to one of shock as he was thrown backwards by a strong force. He howled in pain as his arms were distorted. The people in uniform behind him could not help exclaiming when they saw this. "Senior!" "Hawkin, are you all right?" "Who dares to attack our Hawkin? Show yourselves now." The elder pulled Hawkin over with a grim expression on his face. He quickly grasped Hawkin's arm and diagnosed him. Then, he injected a breath of positive energy into his arm to stabilize his injuries before asking someone to carry him away. After that, all of them shifted their gaze to the figure. Fade had also turned his gaze toward the people opposite him after fending off the attack for Francesca. As soon as Fade saw the twin tower logo on his uniform, he immediately recognized that these people were from the Wushuang Tower. After a quick scan around the place, Fade saw his old acquaintance, Callum Sim, among the crowd. Fade sneered as he stared at them. "So it was you guys from the Wushuang Tower. Callum, was the previous punishment not harsh enough? You've come for more." Upon hearing this, Callum's face darkened. Anger was evident on his face. He was an internal disciple of the Wushuang Tower and a well-received genius among them. However, the incident in South Bay City had caused him to lose his reputation. Not only was he defeated by Fade, the Hallow Ice Spring that he had painstakingly obtained had been also snatched away by Fade. He had been utterly defeated. Therefore, Callum received a good deal of ridicule upon returning to the clan. He ended up reciting the whole story to his master, Santos, the 60 year old man behind him. Originally, Callum only wanted to explain himself. He wanted to see whether his master would forgive him. However, the results were beyond Callum's expectations. After hearing what had happened, Santos actually suggested to come here to look for Fade. Callum was naturally willing to do so. He immediately rushed over with his master and brothers to take revenge on Fade. In the end, when they had finally gotten their hands on Fade's information and made their way to Dragonville, they realised that Fade was nowhere to be found. In order to force Fade to show himself, they supported other parties in Dragonville City and went into a frenzy suppressing the companies related to Fade during this period of time. Now, Fade had finally showed himself. With the support of his seniors and master, Callum felt extremely confident. He looked at Fade and said through gritted teeth, "Fade, now I want you to pay me back double for what you did to me in South Bay City"
Chapter 1233 Upon hearing this, Fade calmly scanned the crowd from Wushuang Tower. "And just what are you planning to do with so little of you?" The disciples of the Wushuang Tower were filled with anger at his words, and started shouting one after another. "How dare you! Don't you know who we are? How dare you speak to us like this?" they bellowed. "You b*stard! You're digging your own grave!" "Master, let's kill this guy right now." "That's right, someone like him dared to be so arrogant before us. How ridiculous! Fade was unaffiliated by the loud yells of the Wushuang Tower's disciples. Instead, glanced at them with disdain and said, "Want to fight? Then stop wasting my time. I'll take on all of you at once!" As he said that, Fade waved his hand nonchalantly at them, obviously not taking them seriously. The disciples of Wushuang Tower had always been in the limelight wherever they went. Never had they ever been looked down on like this. They glared furiously at Fade as they raised their arms, preparing to attack. "You b*stard, we'll kill you!" "Let's finish him off!" "Don't bother. I will finish him alone!" Santos, who remained silent all these while, suddenly raised his right hand to stop his disciples from making a move. "Don't be impulsive. None of you are a match for him," he stated. Upon hearing that, the disciples fell deep into confusion and shock. "Master, he's just a self-learner. We're the internal disciples of Wushuang Tower." "Master, you think too highly of him." Santos glanced at his disciples and said in a low voice, "Do you really think that those who can defeat Hawkin with one strike are very weak? Who amongst you are able to do this?" Upon hearing that, the disciples instantly fell silent. Hawkin was not only Santos's disciple, but also his nephew. Among all the disciples, Hawkin was very popular and his strength was ranked among the top few. He had reached the early realm of the Earth Level and was not far from the middle realm of the Earth Level. Even someone as strong as Hawkin had been defeated by Fade with a single move. He was definitely not just a warrior with ordinary strength. At the thought of this, many disciples' faces fell. They were in both shock and disbelief. "If I'm not wrong, the formation in the cave of South Bay City, was also set up by you, right?" Santos continued.. Speaking of this, Fade remembered the formation that he had set up in the cave of the Hallow Ice Spring. He couldn't help smiling as he said, "It seems that you have already experienced the power of the formation. Hearing this, the disciples' expressions grew solemn. After they came out with Callum, their first stop was South Bay City. At that time, they learned that Fade had left, so they went to the cave to see whether the Hallow Ice Spring still existed. They were overjoyed when they found that the Hallow Ice Spring had remained intact. As they were preparing to take possession of it, they found a formation inside, which blocked their route and prevented them from entering. They tried to force their way in and also to break the formation. It took them a lot of effort, but in the end, they failed to break the formation. They were almost hurt by the formation's defense mechanism. If Santos had not been there at that time, at least half of the disciples here would have met their maker. Whenever they thought of the formation, there would naturally be a lingering fear in their hearts and their expressions would change. Santos's expression also changed slightly as he praised, "To be able to set up such a formation at such a young age, your talent in formations is something that even cannot compare to." The disciples of Wushuang Tower were puzzled at Santos' praise. Fade too, was confused. He ignored Santos' words and continued to quietly looked at him. Seeing as Fade did not respond, Santos' expression changed slightly and continued, "Actually, I didn't come to take revenge on you. I just wanted to ask you one thing." Upon hearing this, Fade and Callum were both astonished. They never would've thought that Santos would say something like this. In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted to Santos. Fade asked in a deep voice. "You have a question for me? What is it?" Santos glanced at Callum before turning to Fade and said, "My disciple told me that you had a Wushuang Tower's personal disciples token on hand. Furthermore, it was an old version of the token from more than 20 years ago. Fade's heart quivered slightly as he thought of the jade token left by his mother in-law. "So what?" Santos replied, "If that's the case, would like to request Mr. Chen to return the Wushuang Tower's token to me." "Return the token?" Fade muttered in his heart, visibly puzzled. He was a little perplexed as to why Santos valued this token so much. He had even led a group of people out of the mountain just to search for this token. Callum was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected his own master to come all the way for a single token. It was but an ordinary token from a Wushuang Tower disciple. Besides being an old version of the token, there was really nothing special about it. Why did Santos want this token so badly? After pondering for a moment, Fade looked at Santos and answered, "Whether I have this token or not, it has nothing to do with you. Why should I give it to you?" Santos' face darkened upon hearing Fade's words. Forcing a smile on his face, he said solemnly, "Because that is the token of Wushuang Tower. It will definitely do more harm than good if you carry it with you. I am also taking it back for your sake, Mr. Chen." "Of course, as compensation, I can agree to a small request of yours, Santos stated while looking at Fade. Before Fade could react, Callum and other disciples were bewildered. They knew how difficult it was for their master, Santos Li, to personally make a promise. After all, Santos was a martial arts master from the Earth Level's advanced realm. Even in the Wushuang Tower, he commandeered a high-level presence. To the powerful people in the secular world, he was a superior existence. In order to get his help, many people had traveled all the way to him and promised a lot of benefits, but there was still no certainty that they would receive it. Now, Fade only needed to return the token, and he would be able to obtain a favor from Santos. To them, this was a huge boon. Even the disciples themselves were getting a little interested. However, Fade's expression grew calmer after hearing Santos' words. Santos had made such a promise just for a token. This made Fade begin to suspect whether there were other hidden secrets behind the token. Furthermore, Fade did not need Santos' so-called favor at all.
Chapter 1234 Therefore, Santos' so-called conditions were not attractive to Fade at all. He could make a choice without hesitation. "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your offer!" Hearing this, Santos' face instantly darkened. Many of the Wushuang Tower disciples glared at Fade in fury. "Do you know what you are talking about?" "What you had turned down is favor from our master" Santos' face darkened. Looking at Fade, he finally questioned in a deep voice, "Are you sure you want to refuse me?" Fade replied, "I'm sure." Hearing that, Santos' disciples immediately burst into an uproar. They were glaring at Fade, wanting to dash over now and tear him apart. "We tried to be polite, but you just wouldn't take it." Master, you don't have to be so courteous with someone like this. You should just give him a good beating." "You ingrate. We are the disciples of Wushuang Tower. Who do you think you are?" "Master, allow us to attack him. We must teach him a lesson." All the disciples were filled with indignation. They glared at Fade fiercely, as though they were angry lions, intending to dash over and tear him apart. After staring at Fade for a few seconds, Santos realised that Fade had no intention to change his mind. His expression suddenly sank as he ordered, "Let's coordinate our attacks. We will teach him a lesson." "Of course, try not to be too harsh. Don't kill him because I still have some use for him, Santos added in a cold tone. Callum and the rest of the disciples behind Santos immediately charged at Fade, their fists and feet primed. However, perhaps it was because of the lingering fear, Callum hid himself at the very back of the group. His eyes were flashing as he looked at Fade. Looking at the disciples who were dashing toward him, Fade turned to Santos with a smirk and asked, "You ordered them to fight me. Do you have a grudge against your disciples?". "What do you mean?" Hawkin growled. Fade replied, "What? Didn't you hear me? I'm saying that by ordering them to attack me, you are personally sending them to their deaths. The disciples immediately burst out in anger once they heard Fade's words. "What an arrogant man. An ungrateful b*stard!" "We are the disciples of Wushuang Tower. What are you?" "There are over ten of us. Let's go up together. No matter how strong you are, you're no match for us." "You're all empty talk. Die!" Amidst all the bawling, Santos looked over with an icy gaze and said in a deep voice, "I know that you are powerful, and you have just defeated Hawkin. But don't forget that we are from Wushuang Tower." "Wushuang Tower's disciples are unparalleled anywhere in the world. Show him what you've got," Santos called out to his disciples. In an instant, all the disciples furiously echoed one after another, " Tower's disciples, unparalleled anywhere in the world!" "Set up the formation, join our hands, and launch!" Over a dozen people connected and worked together. A series of energies surged and rolled, stirring up a big storm. It was as if the entire hall of the Sun family was about to be wiped from the face of the Earth. The people of the Sun family had no choice but to retreat as they could not withstand their imposing aura. Wushuang Tower was worthy of being one of the four Heaven Level Clan. Under the joint effort of over a dozen disciples, their tenacity was indeed extraordinary. Their collective power was almost equivalent to a blow from an Earth-level's advanced realm master. Such oppressive attacks had made both the disciples of the Wushuang Tower and Santos smile, feeling incomparably proud of themselves. However, Fade remained calm in the face of such a strong attack. He just smiled and said, "Joining your powers together to set up a formation. What an interesting method of increasing your power level." After a short pause, Fade focused his gaze and continued in a cold voice, "However, it's nothing more than that. A small trick like this is not enough to defeat me." "You..." Upon hearing this, the disciples of Wushuang Tower were furious. They glared at Fade, and if looks could kill, Fade would've been dead by now. However, before they could say anything out of anger, Fade had already stretched out his right hand and aimed it towards them. Suddenly, an invisible wave of energy gushed out and dashed toward the dozen of Wushuang Tower's disciples. The invisible energy was unstoppably destructive. It instantly shattered the vigor of the disciples and sent them flying out. Each of them flew into the air and fell onto the ground, howling loudly. Callum, who had been hiding at the back, had managed to escape from the blow. He was not affected by Fade's attack. However, his body had stiffened upon seeing that his brothers were sent flying by Fade's palm in front of him. He did not even dare to move his eyes or look at Fade who was standing opposite of him. Santos' demeanor darkened upon seeing this. He then glared fiercely at Fade and said through gritted teeth, "You actually..." Fade looked at Santos and replied, "I've already warned you. You will get them killed if you let them fight me." "Do you really think that I wouldn't dare to kill you just because I spoke nicely to you earlier?" Santos snapped angrily as the energy within his body blasted out. His aura was so majestic that it rivalled the aura of the alliance of the dozen disciples just now. Furthermore, Santos' experience in battles was not something that a dozen disciples could compare with. In an instant, it felt like a ferocious tiger was approaching Fade, about to swallow him whole. Fade snorted coldly upon seeing this. He looked at Santos and asked, "You want to fight me?" Santos stepped forward and approached Fade with a monstrous aura. "Right now, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the token and be my servant. Then, I'll spare your life." Hearing this, Fade immediately laughed. Shaking his head, he said, 'Initially, I thought that could've made you see the situation clearly for yourself. Now I realize that was wrong. Your judgement is poorer than I thought." "You arrogant b*stard, I, Santos Li, am an internal disciple of the Wushuang tower, a martial arts master from the advanced realm of Earth Level. Do you think that you're a match for me?!" Santos angrily shouted. "Only the advanced realm of Earth Level?" Fade sneered and sent out a punch. It was a simple punch without extravagant moves, aiming straight for Santos. The punch seemed to be harmless, but it made Santos feel as though he was being assaulted by a mountain-like pressure. It instantly crushed him, suppressing his aura. He could not move at all, and could only watch as the attack approached him.
Chapter 1235 "No, how could you... Santos' face was filled with surprise as he exclaimed in fright. However, before he could finish his sentence, the majestic and powerful energy had rushed over, pushing Santos' body hard onto the ground. With a rumble, Santos' body caved in as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was extremely red. Two half-meter deep holes had appeared on the spot where his feet were rooted, his legs already sunk into them. A single strike was enough to take Santos down. The disciples of Wushuang Tower had been left dumbfounded by this scene. "Master!" "How could it be? How could he have such strength?" "He had defeated a master from Earth Level's advanced realm with one punch. What kind of warrior is he? Which level and realm is he from?" "How old is he? How could he be so powerful at such a young age?" In an instant, many of the disciples turned their gaze to Callum. It seemed that they were questioning him. "Didn't you say that Fade was self-instructed? Why was he so strong now?" they thought to themselves. At this moment, Callum was both frightened and stunned. He hadn't expected Fade's strength to be of such caliber. It was completely beyond his imaginations. The faces of the crowd from Wushuang Tower which were filled with shock and astonishment. Under their watchful gaze, Fade withdrew his right hand and put it behind his back. He slowly approached Santos. He gazed quietly at Santos and said, "Now, you finally know my true strength!" A complicated expression appeared on Santos' face. He looked at Fade and asked in a low voice, "Who the hell are you? Why do you have this kind of strength?" Fade replied, "It doesn't matter who I am. just want you to know the only reason why I didn't kill you was because I had something to ask you about." "You have something to ask me?" Santos was stunned. The colour drained from his face as he thought of something. Just then, Fade took out a jade token from his pocket and placed it in front of Santos. "This should be the jade token that you want to take back!" Focusing his gaze, Santos stared at the jade token for a while. "You really have this jade token! How did you get it-" He asked, surprise flashing across his eyes. Before he could finish his words, Fade had flipped his palm and put away the jade token before saying, "You don't need to know how I got this jade token. Now, I want to ask you, why did you want to take back this jade token? Why is this token so important that you even brought so many people to Dragonville City just to get it?" Hearing this, Santos's expression changed. He immediately shook his head and replied, "I don't know." "You don't know?" Fade snorted coldly. "Do you think I'm a kid? Do you think I would believe these words?" Santos' body trembled as he felt the chill emanating from Fade's body. He shook his head and said, "I can't tell you. This is top secret information from the Wushuang Tower. I am not at liberty to reveal it." "You can't reveal it!" Fade's tone became grim. He then stretched out his right hand and placed it on top of Santos' head. Positive energy started to surge out from his hand. There was a terrifying pressure. It felt as though a boulder weighing a tonne was suspended above Santos' head. "I, I really can't reveal it. If I leaked this information, the clan would not leave me alone, Santos shouted pleadingly. "Mr. Chen, I've made a mistake, I know I have. I will do whatever you want me to do, but I really can't reveal the secret of the clan!" Fade's expression did not change upon hearing Santos' plea. He lowered his palm again, this time barely a centimeter away from Santos' head. "You'd rather die than to reveal the secret?" Fade asked. "I, I... Santos paused, a little hesitant. Fade did not give him any time to hesitate. He immediately said, "If that's the case, then there's no point in keeping you alive. You can die now... Fade's palm was about to bring his palm down as he spoke. At the most critical moment, Santos suddenly cried out in terror, "I'll tell you. Don't kill me! Please don't." Fade's palm, which had almost touched Santos's scalp, stopped right at the last moment. Staring at Santos, Fade uttered coldly, "Tell me now!!" Santos glanced over the crowd and said to Fade, "This is a very serious matter. Can we move to another place?" Fade nodded, turning his head to give Francesca a knowing look. Francesca understood and immediately said, "Master Chen, you can use my cultivation room!" "Sure!" Fade nodded. He then picked up Santos with one hand, as if he was carrying a chicken, and dragged him out of the hall. Callum and other disciples of Wushuang Tower were shocked to see their master taken away in such a sorry state. They stood rooted to the spot, looking at each other, not knowing what to do. At the same time, Fade had dragged Santos to Francesca's cultivation room. Flinging Santos onto the ground, Fade sat in a chair and looked at him. "Can you tell me the secret of the jade token now?" Fade asked. Santos looked a little hesitant. However, his blood ran cold at the sight of Fade's serious expression. "Well, I'll tell you," he said hurriedly. After a slight pause, Santos said, "Actually, the reason why I value this jade token so much is because it's related to a rumor in Wushuang Tower from twenty years ago." "What's the rumor about?" Fade asked. Santos answered, "It's that there is a clue to a treasure hidden in the jade token. So, if we have this jade token, we may be able to obtain the clue leading to treasure." "A clue and a treasure!" Fade did not expect that the jade token was actually connected to a treasure. He continued to ask, " What treasure is it?" Santos shook his head and replied, "I don't know what the treasure is. It's a secret that only the senior leaders know. However, I have heard that the treasure is very precious. It was said that the Guardian of Wushuang Tower revered the treasure when he got to know about it 20 years ago." "Uh...." Fade was truly surprised this time. The Guardian of Wushuang Tower was a Heaven Level master. If the treasure was so highly valued by a top martial artist, it definitely was not something ordinary. After a short pause, Fade continued to ask, "As far as I know, this jade token is only a Wushuang Tower disciple's personal token. How could it be connected to the treasure? Furthermore, to such a precious treasure?" Santos replied, "Actually, I'm also not sure myself. I only know vaguely about it. It seemed to have something to do with a disciple who was a traitor in Wushuang Tower more than 20 years ago." "At that time, I heard that Wushuang Tower had a genius disciple who had betrayed the clan. Later, for some unknown reason, he had returned to the clan and mentioned the precious treasure. As a result, he was valued highly by the Guardian and other senior leaders in the clan." "However, after another few years, this traitor fled the clan again. This had caused everyone in the clan to fly into a rage. They searched everywhere for him, but couldn't find him. It was also because of this that the Wushuang Tower's disciple token had been modified and reissued. All old-version tokens were recalled and replaced with the current token we use" "However, the old-version tokens that we recovered mplete. Among them, one of the rare personal disciple tokens had gone missing. That's why for so many years, the Wushuang Tower has been secretly searching for this token, trying to find the clue to the treasure."
Chapter 1236 Hearing this, Fade suddenly thought of his mother-in-law, Chrystal Xie. He had never met her before, but he knew that she was once a disciple of the Wushuang Tower. Fade had only heard about Chrystal from a few of her past servants, including Francesca Sun, Honor Qi, Yanko Shi, and Latifah Gong. As to what Chrystal was actually up to, Fade had no idea.. Thinking of this, Fade looked at Santos and asked, "What's the name of the disciple you're talking about?" Santos paused for a moment, then said, "I think her name was Chrystal Xie, she was a woman. However, I can't remember the specific details. Moreover, the higher-ups had sealed off all information on her when she returned to the clan back then. Topics regarding her were a taboo among clan members, and all reports regarding her were destroyed. I was but an ordinary internal disciple at that time, so I had limited access to her data." At that point, Fade managed to confirm that the "traitor disciple of the Wushuang Tower was actually his mother-in-law, Chrystal Xie. However, as a personal disciple of the Wushuang Tower, Chrystal had extraordinary talent. Furthermore, Francesca and the others had mentioned that Chrystal exhibited a very good attitude towards her clan. She did not seem like the type to rebel against her clan. Furthermore, Fade performed some prior research on the jade token in question. He was sure that it was just an ordinary jade token from the Wushuang Tower. There was nothing special inside it, and he had not found any clues about the treasure as well. Thinking of this, Fade fell silent for a moment. He had his doubts regarding the so-called treasure of the Wushuang Tower. However, he recalled that for more than 20 years, Wushuang Tower had made a big fuss regarding this matter. Not only did they conceal all intelligence surrounding Chrystal, they also recalled all old versions of the jade token, replacing them with a new version. There must be some special reason behind this. However, it was impossible for him to figure out the details by himself. He could only wait for an opportunity to go to Wushuang Tower, and see if he could force the truth out of the higher management. Then, he could help Quin figure out her mother's whereabouts. After making up his mind, Fade looked at Santos and said, "I know the whole story now. "I can tell you that the jade token that I have on hand doesn't contain any clues about the treasure. I won't kill you for the sake of my friendship with Wushuang Tower. Now, you may leave," Fade said while looking at Santos. A hint of joy flashed across Santos' eyes upon hearing Fade's words. However, at the same time, he seemed to doubt Fade's words. Fade then snorted, "You can return to Wushuang Tower for reinforcements if you have doubts. If you show up again, however, I will no longer show you mercy. You should think of the consequences of your actions." After hearing his words, Santos' body trembled in fear. He quickly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will never tell another soul about what happened here today. This will definitely not happen again. Fade nodded at his words. He then waved his hand dismissively and said, "Okay, you may leave now!" Fade felt that he could trust Santos. After all, this was a highly guarded top secret of Wushuang Tower Generally speaking, they were not allowed to leak it out. By telling him this information, Santos was already a whistleblower. If the top management in the Wushuang Tower found out, Santos would probably be done for. On the other hand, Fade was not worried about Wushuang Tower coming to take revenge on him. He was not afraid of them, on the grounds of his Heaven Level strength, as well as his master's friendship with Wushuang Tower. As such, the people from Wushuang Tower would not dare to act rashly against him. Of course, it was also because of the old man's friendship with the Wushuang Tower that Fade was letting Santos go so easily. Fade and Santos left the room, heading back to the Sun family's hall. The disciples of the Wushuang Tower were still waiting in place, not daring to move. Santos did not wait for Fade to speak when they me out from the room. He immediately led his group of disciples in a respectful apology towards Fade, and compensated for the losses they had caused during this period of time. When the Sun family saw this, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, they became even more surprised as they grew more and more curious about Fade's identity. After all, they had once thought that Fade was an Earth-level master. However, they later learned that Fade was actually a Heaven Level master. They also knew that Fade had in his possession a token of the Tianwu Clan. Every bit of the information surprised Francesca greatly. Francesca suddenly thought that Fade's true identity was much more extraordinary than she could've ever imagined. After all, just like Wushuang Tower, the Tianwu Clan was one of the four Heaven Level powers. Both their strengths were on par with each other. If Fade was just an ordinary disciple of the Tianwu Clan, how could he suppress the internal disciples of the Wushuang Tower? However, Francesca knew her boundaries. If Fade had remained silent about his own identity, she would never uncover his secrets of her own volition. Following the departure of people from the Wushuang Tower, the Dragonville City had once again regained its peacefulness over the next few days. As for the troublemakers who jumped the gun during the Wushuang Tower's arrival, Fade had dealt with them in one fell swoop. After this incident, Fade's position and power in Dragonville City had further solidified. He was absolutely a force to be reckoned with in Dragonville City now, and no one dared to oppose him at all. After all, even a force as mighty as Wushuang Tower had been defeated. Ordinary people would never dare to provoke Fade. Once everything had returned to normal, the city regained its peacefulness again. When Fade returned to the villa, he couldn't help but read his wife Quin's letter over and over again. "Honey, I'll definitely find you." Fade had secretly made up his mind. At this moment, Housekeeper Wong shouted downstairs, "Sir, there is a parcel for you." "A parcel?" Fade was a little surprised. He hardly bought anything online, and there shouldn't be anyone who would send him a parcel. Generally, people who knew Fade's identity would come and deliver the things personally to him. They would not pass him anything via courier. Although puzzled, Fade still went downstairs and asked, "Who sent it?" Housekeeper Wong was holding a box that was only the size of a book. She took a look at it before handing it to Fade. Shaking her head, she answered, "The delivery slip has been torn off. I don't know who sent it because the name of the sender cannot be seen clearly. Fade accepted the parcel, and went silent as he took a look at it.
Chapter 1237 The packaging box was in a sorry state. Half of it was stained with mud, and the other half had obviously been soaked in water. "D*mn it! What kind of courier service is this? It's so terrible! Fade commented, picking up the parcel with his fingertips as he headed upstairs. Just as he was about to open the parcel in his room, his phone rang. Fade paused as he looked at the caller ID before picking up the phone. However, before he could speak, a wretched old man's voice accompanied by sounds from a love movie came from the other end of the phone. "Brat, you should have received my parcel by now, haven't you?" said the old man. Hearing that, Fade took a quick glance at the broken parcel box again and said helplessly, "Old fogey, so you were the one who sent it to me!" "Of course it's me! Otherwise, who else would send a parcel to a lonely man like you!" The old man replied narcissistically, "Furthermore, didn't you see my chic signature on the delivery slip?" Fade was speechless when he took a look at the torn slip. "Old fogey, why did you send me an express delivery for no reason? What on earth did you send to me?" "You haven't opened it yet! What are you waiting for? Open it now!" the old man urged. Fade was speechless. He could only set the call to speakerphone he began to open the parcel. As he was opening the box, Fade couldn't help but complain about the torn box. "Old fogey, which delivery company did you use? The box is completely damaged and wet. Couldn't you have chosen a better company?" In the end, Fade almost rolled his eyes in exasperation when he heard the old man's response. "The only thing you know to do is to complain. A better delivery company would have costed a lot more. Don't you know that? For example, the 'better companies' that you mentioned, charge ten times more than the ordinary ones. I'm not that stupid. Why should I choose them?" The old man said with a stingy look, "Besides, the stuff that I sent you are not that important. It wouldn't matter as much. "Old fogy, am I even your personal disciple? Why are you treating me this way?!" Fade asked exasperatedly. The old man urged, "Okay, stop spouting nonsense. Have you opened the parcel? Have you seen what's inside?" Fade had already opened the box and took out a red booklet that resembled a marriage certificate from it. "Old fogey, what is this?" he asked. While speaking, Fade had opened the little water-damaged red booklet. He was instantly surprised when he saw the contents. "Capital University, School of Chinese Medicine, distinguished professor appointment letter... "Old fogy, what's going on?" Fade asked in surprise, "Why is Capital University sending me an appointment letter, offering me the position of a professor at their school? This must be a mistake!" "No, it's definitely not a mistake!" The old man said, "I have used all of my connections to get you a position in the university. You have to work hard. Remember to be grateful!" Hearing this, Fade grew more speechless towards his unreliable master. "Master, why did you get me a job in a university as a professor for no reason? I have my own career now, and I don't have the time to be a professor. Besides, I don't even understand what I should teach?" The old man smacked his lips as he roared angrily, "Why are you asking me that? Do you still remember the task I gave you when you went down the mountain?" "Of course I do!" Fade replied. "Master, you asked me to leave the mountain to train, striving for a breakthrough. You want me to break through the peak of the Heaven Level and advance to the Lord Level realm." "This is one of them. What else?" The old man continued to ask in a cold and hard tone. Upon hearing that, Fade could not help but shudder. His tone instantly softened when he suddenly remembered something else. "Also, the other task is to find clues about Joey. "You still remember that you have to look for Joey! How long has it been since you left the mountain? Did you receive any news about Joey? Have you even attempted to find her?" The old man roared. Fade knew that he was in the wrong. Lowering his voice, he explained, "Master, I-I was busy, so it has been delayed. Actually, I have been thinking about Joey all the time." "Moreover, Joey is my granddaughter. She is smart, so I believe no harm would come to her. Moreover, her Martial Arts strength is of the Heaven Level. I don't think anything will happen to her." The old man snorted coldly and added, "Humph, now you know to call me master and flatter me. But I can tell you it's already too late for that. "Master, don't be angry! I know that I am wrong. I'll pack my things now and head out to find Joey. I will definitely bring her back to you even if I have to travel all over the country or even to the ends of the Earth," Fade stated, in an attempt to calm the old man down. The old man on the other end of the line huffed in reply. "Your flattery won't work on me. Plus, you don't have to seek her out anymore." "Master, I really know that I've done wrong. I will definitely... Fade pleaded weakly. "Okay, okay! Stop pretending. I know your character well. The old man interrupted Fade and said, "You don't have to look for Joey anymore because I have already received news about her "She is currently just an ordinary student at Capital University, the old man added, "That's why I got you a professor job at Capital University. I want you to go and take good care of Joey. Do you understand?" Fade took a look at the wrinkled appointment letter and said, "So that's what you intended. Joey is a lucky granddaughter of yours indeed. I will definitely be a good professor and take good care of Joey. I will not let you down, I.... "Alright, alright. Speak normally and stop being mushy. The old man interrupted Fade impatiently. "I don't expect you to teach well, and I don't need you to take care of Joey either. You just need to look out for her. Don't let her get hurt, both physically or mentally, do you understand?" At his final sentence, the old man's tone grew serious. Fade understood what the old man meant. He nodded and replied solemnly, "Master, don't worry. As long as I am around, no one can hurt Joey" "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you. The old man then hung up the phone immediately. Fade put away the appointment letter and said to himself, "Seems like I have go to Capital City. Then, he looked out of the window and said emotionally, "The last clue about Quin is also in Capital City. Now Joey is there too. Capital City, I'm coming!"
Chapter 1238 The plane landed at Capital City International Airport. Compared to Dragonville City, Capital City was obviously more prosperous and lively. As soon as Fade walked out of the airport, he felt the liveliness and enthusiasm of the city, Capital City was like a huge steel forest. In this modern forest, people were striving to make a living and looking for opportunities. Fade had no time to rest. He looked around and was about to hail a cab to Capital University. However, he found that there were actually school buses at the side of the road that headed straight to Capital University. Many people who looked like students got on the buses one after another, and some of them began to chat with each other. It seemed that they were students from Capital University, Fade suddenly remembered that this was the time when students returned to school after winter vacation. No wonder there were buses at the airport to pick the students up. Thinking of this, Fade could not help but walk towards the school bus. He was thinking of taking the school bus to head to Capital University, as it was more convenient than taking the taxi. He found a bus and walked over, about to get on. The school bus was almost full at this moment. There was only a seat on the right side of the bus left. The empty seat was occupied by a school bag. Sitting next to the school bag, in the window seat, was a beautiful girl with long shoulder-length hair. Many of the young boys in the bus were stealing glances at her goddess-like beauty. Naturally, an attractive girl like her would attract a lot of boys' attention. Of course, perhaps because they thought she was way out of their league, everyone in the bus did not dare to approach her. As a result, the seat next to the girl was left empty. Fade did not give it a second thought as he saw the empty seat in front of him. He stepped forward, preparing to sit down. Just as Fade was about to take his seat, a man wearing a white shirt with the Capital University badge on his chest, frowned. He stood up from his seat and stared at Fade fiercely. He was Magnum Han, a senior who was in charge of receiving students this school bus. Of course, he had noticed the elegant and beautiful long-haired girl while watching these students get on the bus. He was interested in her. Therefore, he had specifically taken photos of her and sent them to the school group chat to ask for her information. The girl's name was Jasmine. She was a freshman at the school of Chinese Medicine. Since the start of school, her elegant and attractive appearance had already earned her the title of "Goddess of Chinese Medicine in the academy. As a result, she was very popular among the boys. When it came to such a goddess, Magnum naturally wanted to get close to her. Just a moment ago, he had already taken the initiative to greet Jasmine and learned that she did not like to sit with others. Therefore, Magnum had used his position as a senior to give her preferential treatment, which allowed her to take two seats on her own. In this way, he would leave a good impression in Jasmine's heart. Furthermore, he was sitting right behind her. The two of them might be able to have a good chat on their way back to school. Perhaps, he might have a chance to win over the favor of the Goddess of Chinese medicine. While Magnum was engaged in his wishful thinking, Fade got on the bus and headed towards the empty seat next to Jasmine. Fade's actions had completely ruined Magnum's plans, causing him to feel agitated. "Hello, can I sit here?" Fade walked to the empty seat, squeezed out a smile, and asked Jasmine softly. Jasmine was leaning against the window, deep in thought. She turned her head around upon hearing Fade's voice. Taking a glance at the smiling Fade, she could not help but frown slightly as a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes. She knew her outstanding appearance would attract a lot of unwanted attention. However, she was not interested in ordinary men at all. In fact, she hated them. Besides, she was a clean freak. Therefore, she usually did not like to get close to other people, especially of the opposite sex. That was why she had used her school bag to occupy the empty seat next to her to prevent anyone like Fade from striking up a conversation with her. Jasmine had thought that by doing this, she had already made it very obvious. Little did she expect someone to shamelessly come over and strike up a conversation with her. As a result, Fade had made a very bad first impression on Jasmine. Jasmine frowned and said to Fade, "I'm sorry, there's someone sitting here!" Fade paused as he scanned the inside of the bus and immediately continued, "Everyone already has a seat. I don't think there's anyone else." Jasmine seemed mildly displeased to hear his words. She found Fade's shamelessness a little disgusting. "I'm sorry, I don't like to sit with others," she said with a frown... Upon hearing this, Fade couldn't help but frown slightly. He was feeling a little dissatisfied with Jasmine. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Hey, this is the school bus, which is a shared resource. don't think it's right of you to occupy two seats just because of a personal preference!" Jasmine was feeling a little annoyed when Fade would not stop pestering her. She glared fiercely at him and said, " Have you said enough? I know what you're thinking. There's no need to hide it. I can tell you that I'm not interested in people like you. If you want to pursue me, give up on that thought now!" Her cold and direct rejection shocked everyone in the bus. Many of the boys were staring them. Some were gloating, some were sympathetic, and some were afraid. As for Fade, he felt a little shocked. After a short pause, he finally came to his senses and understood the meaning behind the girl's words. It turned out that the girl thought that he had purposely come to pester her in order to strike up a conversation with her. Thinking of this, Fade could not help but sneer. He looked at Jasmine and said, "You think too much. I have no intention of pursuing you. just want a seat." "You... Jasmine had not anticipated his response. She was astonished. Looking at Jasmine, Fade continued in a cold voice, "If you don't want to sit with others, then you should stand by yourself. Don't occupy the seats." After saying that, Fade proceeded to take Jasmine's bag away, preparing to sit down. Jasmine had not expected a guy to speak to her in this way. After all, she had always been a goddess who was popular in school. No guy had ever dared to do anything or say a single harsh word to her. Seeing that Fade was about to sit down, Jasmine was not only surprised and angry, but also helpless. After all, Fade was a man. She would definitely be no match for him if a fight broke out between them.
Chapter 1239 Therefore, Jasmine had no choice but to glare at Fade. She picked up her school bag and stood up. She would rather stand than sit with Fade. Fade did not have any opinion about this. He got out of the way to let Jasmine go out. Then, he sat back down. "The seats are spacious. They feel pretty good." Hearing that, Jasmine's face fell. The other boys on the bus were casting different looks at Fade. Some of them were filled with admiration, some of them were filled with fury. Naturally, the murderous gaze came from Magnum, who had just stood up. Magnum got up and walked out. Glaring at Fade, he said, "What are you doing? Get up quick and apologize to Jasmine now!" Fade looked at Magnum with a strange expression when he heard that. He asked with a frown, "Why should I apologize to her?" Magnum snapped angrily, "You've taken Jasmine's seat. Shouldn't you apologize?" "Are you kidding me? I didn't take her seat. This is my seat. She's the one who didn't want to sit. It has nothing to do with me," Fade replied, displeased. "You-" Magnum was furious. He wanted to beat Fade up so badly. Just then, Jasmine said, "Magnum, it doesn't matter. I'll just stand. It's not a big deal." Upon hearing this, Magnum felt both pain and excitement in his heart. His heart ached for Jasmine as she did not have a seat but he was also excited because he finally had the chance to impress her and get closer to her. As a result, Magnum grew even more determined. Nodding his head at Jasmine, he said firmly, Jasmine, he has done something wrong. I'm going to make him apologize to you. Otherwise, how would I, the person in charge, be able to stay on this bus?" After saying that, Magnum glared at Fade and shouted, "I'm asking you to apologize. Did you hear me?" Hearing this, Fade frowned. "I have already said that I did nothing wrong. So, there is no need for me to apologize. Also, if you want to impress her, you should find a way to meet her request instead of abusing shared resources. You' re abusing your powers right now. All the students in the bus were stunned as they heard Fade's words. Some of them could not help but nod their heads, and agreed with Fade's opinion after they thought more about it. After all, as the senior in charge, Magnum should ensure that every student had a seat. However, in an attempt to please and impress Jasmine, he had specially reserved an extra seat for her, and was even trying to shoo others away. Of course, there were also students who were not bothered by this. They felt that it was nothing more than a trivial matter. Moreover, the other party was Jasmine, a Lord Level campus sweetheart. Thus, they did not think that it was a big deal for her to take an extra seat. Suddenly, everyone on the bus started discussing this. Jasmine couldn't help but furrow her brows as the situation began to make her feel uncomfortable. Seeing this, Magnum's heart ached even more. He was getting more furious at Fade. "Have you got any manners? Can you really call yourself a man for treating a girl like this?" He bellowed. Hearing this, Fade shook his head and said, "I will be very disappointed if this is the standard of the students at Capital University. "You-" Magnum glared at Fade. Fade continued, "Let's not talk about gender equality as both sexes share the same rights. I don't think have done anything wrong because I just wanted to protect my rights, yet you insisted that I'm in the wrong and wanted me to apologise." "Are you confused about right and wrong because she's a beautiful woman, and one that you're trying to woo?" Fade looked at Magnum and asked Everyone knew what Magnum's intentions were. However, being exposed by Fade in public made him feel more embarrassed. His anger escalated further. Even Jasmine had a strange expression on as she felt a little awkward. After all. she had never liked lively places, especially situations where she was the topic of the conversation. Magnum clenched his fists tightly and looked like he was about to burst out in anger at any moment. He swung his fist, ready to attack Fade. Fade's gaze turned cold when he saw this. He grabbed an aluminum can from the side and crushed it into flat iron. Then, he glared at Magnum and asked, "Are you sure you want to fight me?" Magnum quivered upon seeing this and did not dare to act rashly. Squeezing a can was easy. However, it was impossible for an ordinary person to crush the can into iron flat with one hand. There was no way Magnum stood a chance against Fade's strength. Magnum stayed rooted to his spot with a raised fist. The atmosphere had become a little awkward as he did not know what to do. Suddenly, Magnum thought of something. His eyes lit up as he looked at Fade and said, "This is the school bus of Capital University. Thus, the bus can only be used by the students of our school. You did not show your student card when you got on the bus just now." "Please show me your student card. I need to check it!" Magnum said as he glared at Fade. Fade frowned slightly and replied, "I don't have a student card." Magnum became enraged upon hearing this. He gritted his teeth and said, "And you dared to come on our bus and spout nonsense? When you don't even have a student card? Apologize now and then get out of the bus, Magnum barked angrily. He then pointed at the bus entrance to show him that he needed to leave. Looking at Magnum, Fade replied, "I only said that don't have a student card. But it doesn't mean that I don't have the right to take this bus. "Not having a student card means that you are not a student at our university, and yet you still want to take the school bus from our university? You must be joking!" Magnum shouted. The students in the bus all directed their gaze at them, including Jasmine, Fade stayed calm as he looked at Magnum and said, "I'm indeed not a student at Capital University. But this doesn't mean that I can't take this bus." "Still trying to mess around, huh? If you still insist on not apologizing or getting off the bus, I'm going to call the police," Magnum threatened, taking out his mobile phone. There was a change in the way the students looked at Fade. Their eyes showed obvious hints of displeasure and disgust. Jasmine, in particular, had her brows tightly knitted together, expressing her displeasure as well. Fade shook his head and said, "Though I said that I am not a student at Capital University, I never said that I am not a teacher there. Is a teacher not allowed to take the school bus?"
Chapter 1240 Hearing this, everyone in the bus fell into a state of shock. Then, they looked at Fade sarcastically. Magnum sneered, Teacher? Did you say that you're a teacher from our school? Do you think that we're all fools? Do you think we would believe in such a lle?" Sounds of discussion started coming in from the surrounding students. "After wasting so much time, he turned out to be a liar!" "This guy is so funny. He even pretended to be a teacher at Capital University. Is he an idiot?" "That's right. It should be more convenient to pretend to be a student than a teacher." "It's a pity because I actually thought what he said was quite reasonable. Now it seems that he's just... Amidst the discussions, Jasmine also took a glance at Fade while a look of disdain flashed across her delicate face. It seemed that she was very displeased with people like Fade, who loves playing tricks. Magnum stood right in front of Fade and shouted angrily, "Why are you still sitting here? Get up and get out of the car." Fade frowned and said, "I already said that am a teacher at Capital University. Can't a teacher of this school sit in the school bus?" "A teacher, of course, can sit in the school bus. But you can't be a teacher at our school." Magnum shook his head and said, "The Capital University is not only one of the top universities in the country but also in the world. You need to have at least a doctorate degree in order to teach in our university. With your age and educational background, do you think you are qualified for it?" Fade shook his head and took out the wrinkled booklet from his luggage bag. He handed it to Magnum and said, "Read. This is the appointment letter the Capital University has sent me. I'm going to school now to report for work." Upon seeing that, Magnum paused. He hadn't expected Fade to be so well prepared, and had even brought his appointment letter. However, when he saw the wrinkled booklet, Magnum immediately said with a sneer, "Don't try to fool us with a fake letter. Do you really think that I would be fooled with such a clumsy trick like yours?" At the same time, the students around also started to jeer. "At least do better if you're trying to fool us!" "That's right. This wrinkled junk looks like it got picked up from the trash. There's no way this is real." "Get out of the bus now. Stop wasting our time, or else we won't be so courteous with you anymore." Fade frowned and said, "All of you are students of Capital University. Don't you know how to identify the authenticity of the appointment letter? If you don't believe me, you can check the information on the letter." While saying that, Fade opened the appointment letter and revealed a QR code for Magnum and the others to check it out. However, Magnum ignored Fade. Brushing the appointment letter off from Fade's hand, he shouted, "Stop pretending, we are not interested in playing your game with you. Get off the bus now." "Otherwise, don't blame me for being harsh on you, Magnum threated, clenching his fist so tightly until it started creaking. With a smirk, he continued his threat, "Oh right, let it be known that am the deputy president of the Taekwondo Association in the school. If you don't get up now, I'll let you have a taste of my fists." Hearing this, Fade took a glance at Magnum and then looked at the appointment letter on the ground. He said coldly, "You dropped my things. Shouldn't you pick it up for me?" "I don't think you know what the situation is right now! You're still talking to me about these things? Trying to dig your own grave, huh?" Magnum barked angrily as he swung his fists at Fade, trying to intimidate him. Then, he raised his foot and stamped hard on the appointment letter. However, Fade did not move an inch. He did not intend to avoid his fist at all. Instead, he stared at Magnum coldly and said in a deep voice, "You'll regret what you're doing." "I won't be the one regretting anything!" Seeing that Fade was unfazed, Magnum grew even more furious. His expression grew cold as he threw a punch at Fade. This time, he was serious and aimed his fist right at Fade's face. Some of the girls covered their eyes and turned their heads away upon seeing such a powerful fist thrusting towards Fade. They did not dare to look at it because they knew that it was going to be a powerful hit. Jasmine's eyes flickered slightly when she saw this situation. She felt that even though Magnum's actions were a little too much, it was nothing as compared to the liar's actions. Just when everyone thought that this punch was about to hit Fade, Fade moved and blocked his punch with ease. "How did you..." Magnum couldn't help but be taken aback. Then, before he could react, Fade slapped Magnum in the face. A bright red palm print instantly appeared on Magnum's face, causing the area to become red and swollen. Magnum held his cheek angrily. He glared at Fade and said, "You, you actually dared to hit me This slap was a blow to both his body and spirit, especially since this happened in front of Jasmine. Feeling extremely humiliated, Magnum continued to glare at Fade. The other students in the bus had certainly not expected that. They were all stunned for a moment as they could not believe that Magnum, the deputy president of Taekwondo Association, would be defeated by Fade this easily. Jasmine was also surprised at what she saw. A look of fear flashed across her pretty face as she unconsciously took a few steps back. Her delicate body had started to tremble gently. Just at this moment, Magnum came back to his senses. With a face full of resentment, he roared, "Let's fight this liar together and beat his lying a*s to death!" Suddenly, many boys stood up, intending to attack Fade together. After all, Magnum was their senior and also a member of the student union. For Juniors, it was a good idea to curry favor with him. Besides that, there were also people who wanted to show off their power in front of Jasmine. Just as everyone was filled with indignation and was ready to start the fight, a sudden whistle sounded from the side of the school bus, attracting the attention of everyone. They turned around and saw a black Mercedes stopping by the side of the school bus. If a Mercedes-Benz was considered normal, then, it was the person who came down from the Mercedes-Benz that surprised all the students. This was because the 50 year-old bespectacled man in a suit was Walter Loh, the Director of the Disciplinary Department of Capital University. After Walter got out the car, he proceeded to get on the bus. The students stared at him in bewilderment. "Why is Mr. Loh here?" "What's he doing here on a school bus? Is he here to pick up a student?" "No way, Mr. Loh is the Director of the Disciplinary Department. He is considered top management in Capital University. It would be impossible for such a person to specially come here to pick a student up." "What is he doing here then?" "How would I know? Look, Mr. Loh is coming up."
Chapter 1241 Under the watchful gazes of the students, Walter got on the bus. He looked around and saw the scene in the bus. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? So much noise-" Seeing this, Magnum quickly stood up with a smile on his face. He walked up to Mr. Loh and said, "Hi Mr. Loh. I am Magnum, a year four student of the business school. I am the person in charge of this bus transportation. We just met a scammer on the bus, so-" Just as Magnum was about to claim credit for his work, Walter's eyes fell on Fade. He paused, then proceeded to take out his phone. He then looked up at Fade again, seeming to have confirmed that it was the person he had been looking for. Walter's expression immediately changed. Without waiting for Magnum to finish his explanation, he rushed over and said to Fade enthusiastically, "Are you Mr. Chen? Mr. Fade Chen?" Fade nodded and said, "Yes, I am and you are Walter extended his hands and said hospitably, "Mr. Chen, I am Walter Loh, Director of the Educational Administration at Capital University. I was informed that you had arrived in Capital City, so I came to escort you to the school. There was traffic on the road, so I got here a little late. Do forgive me, Mr. Chen." "Oh, Mr. Loh! It's alright. I can go to school by myself. I don't have to trouble you, Mr. Loh," Fade replied calmly. Upon hearing this, Mr. Loh quickly shook his head and said, "It's no trouble to pick you up. Mr. Chen. Initially, the Principal wanted to come together, but something came up. So, I came alone. So sorry for making you wait." "Don't be, Mr. Loh!" Fade said with a light nod. He knew that the old man must have used his connections to get him this position, and had learned something about him which was why he was being so respectful and welcoming. Just then, the students looked at the two in shock and disbelief. They hadn't expected Fade to really be a teacher from Capital university, and Mr. Loh had even come to greet him personally. They were all stunned, unable to think clearly. Magnum was also shocked. He looked at Walter and then at Fade. He still found it hard to believe as he said, "Mr. Loh, about the scammer, we-" Walter looked at Magnum and impatiently said, "Yes, I've been made aware of it. You should report it to the police, there's no need to tell me about it." "Uh... Magnum fell speechless, Walter grew even more impatient when he saw this. "What, you can't even do something this simple? Do you need me to do it?" "No, Mr. Loh, that's not what meant-" Magnum shook his hand in panic. At this moment, Fade stated calmly, "Mr. Loh, the scammer that Magnum was referring to is me." Upon hearing this, Walter was so shocked then he glared at Magnum and questioned, "What? What did you do to Mr. Chen-" Magnum's face paled. "Mr. Loh, this, this was just a misunderstanding. I accidentally-" "You accidentally threw my appointment letter on the floor and stepped on it?" Fade pointed to the book lying on the floor of the bus corridor. Walter looked down and grew even more furious. " Magnum, what have you done?" Magnum quickly bent down, picked up the appointment letter, and wiped the book clean using his clothes. Then he handed it to Fade, bowed and said, " Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. I-" Fade took the letter and stuffed it into his luggage. He then cut him off blandly, "I told you that you were going to regret it if you stepped on my booklet. Hearing this, Magnum bowed his head even lower and his voice trembled. "Mr. Chen, I am sorry, I was wrong." Walter also said quickly, "Mr. Chen, I will punish him when we go back to school. Please get off the bus with me and I'll escort you to school." "Forget about the punishment, it wasn't a big mistake, he was just trying to show off," Fade answered coldly. While speaking, Fade stood up, picked up his luggage and got out of the bus with Walter. As he walked passed Jasmine, he glanced at her coldly. Jasmine felt his gaze burning into her. She immediately lowered her head. After all, she was indeed the one who had misunderstood Fade's intentions. She had thought that he was here to talk to her, but it turned out that he was indeed a teacher and was uninterested in her. She had been overconfident about the matter. Fade and Walter got off the school bus, and Fade was led into Mr. Loh's Mercedes respectfully before the car drove away. Sighs of relief echoed in the bus. Then, the students started chatting about it. "I really didn't expect him to be a teacher at Capital University." "Yeah, he barely looks 25! Normally, people at this age would still be studying for a masters degree. How could he be a teacher?" "It's not that surprising for him to be a teacher. What's even more shocking is that, as an ordinary teacher, he was able to receive such a warm welcome from Mr. Loh. There must be something extraordinary about him." "Definitely. You know, the last time Walter came to greet someone like this, was when a Nobel Prize winner came to our university" The discussions of the students caused Magnum to feel like his face was burning. The discussions made Magnum's face burn in embarrassment and humiliation. He lowered his head and didn't say a single word, his expression grim. Jasmine bit her lips, her expression a grim shade as well. One and a half hour later, Fade and Walter arrived at Capital University. With Walter personally welcoming him, Fade finished the admissions quick and received his pass. He had officially become a distinguished professor at the Chinese Medicine School in Capital University. After completing the process, Walter sent Fade to the staff's apartment personally and arranged a place for Fade to live in. "Mr. Chen, due to the lack of time in preparing for the things you need, the apartment condition is subpar. We will arrange better accommodation for you later on." Fade looked at the apartment. It was an average single apartment. A small room sat next to a bathroom, a kitchen, and a small balcony. Although the area was small, it was quite convenient for him as he lived alone. So, Fade didn't really mind. He waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. This apartment is great, I'll live here!" "Mr. Chen, but you are a big shot. Our school-" Walter continued. Fade interrupted him and said, "I'm here to teach, and not for leisure purposes. You don't have to treat me differently in terms of material conditions." "Sure. Then we'll do it as you please." Walter quickly nodded. "If you have any requests in the future, you can call me anytime." "Yes, thank you for the trouble." Fade nodded, then sent Walter away. After putting away his luggage, he settled down in the apartment.
Chapter 1242 After tidying up the apartment, Fade gave Joey, his junior, a call to tell her that he had arrived, and that he was going to go meet her. Fade then walked out of the apartment and went to the campus. As one of the top two universities in the country, Capital University had excellent facilities, and the campus was huge. As Fade was not familiar with the campus, he got lost and couldn't find the way to where he wanted to go for a long while. He flagged down a girl by the side of the road and asked, "Excuse me, could you point me towards the Archeology Department? Joey majored in archaeology, which was not the most popular major at the university. When Fade first heard about the major she was taking, he was surprised to hear that Capital University even offered such a major. Fade had thought that the girl would point him towards where he needed to go, but to his surprise, she glared at him. "Men are all the same, she muttered before turning to leave. His question had been left unanswered. Fade was confused. Wasn't he just asking for directions? He didn't think that he was being rude. Why did this girl seem to hold a grudge against him? Were all the girls from prestigious universities this arrogant? Fade thought of Jasmine, the girl he had met on the bus, and this girl whom he had just met, and immediately had the impression that all girls from Capital University were arrogant. Shaking his head, Fade put his doubt aside. He then asked for directions from a boy. "Excuse me, can you tell me where the Archaeology Department is?" Fade expected the guy to not help him either. To his surprise, the boy smiled excitedly after hearing Fade's question and responded, "The department's right over there. Just take a turn at the end of this road and you'll get there." "Thank you, I- Fade expressed his gratitude and was about to leave. However, the boy looked very enthusiastic as he walked over to Fade's side, winked and said, "I'll walk you there, dude." "There's no need, I can go alone" Fade was surprised by his enthusiasm. The boy replied, "It's no trouble at all. I'm heading there too, so let's go together!" "Oh, you're going to the Archeology Department too!" Fade was a little surprised, The boy winked, pointed to the boys who were hurriedly walking along the road, and said to Fade, "See, they're going to the department of archaeology too." "Oh, so many people go to the Department of Archaeology! When did Capital City's Department of Archaeology become such a popular major?" Fade asked in surprise. The guy patted Fade on the shoulder and told him with a smile, "Dude, we're all in the same gang. So, you don't have to cover for yourself anymore. Don't you know the reason why we're going to the Archeology Department?" "Huh? What are you talking about?" Fade asked, puzzled. The boy looked at Fade and said, "Dude, there's no need to hide. We're all men. We all go to the Department of Archeology to see Joey Chen, the campus sweetheart. It's nothing to be embarrassed about." "Oh!" This time, Fade was really shocked. He didn't expect Joey to the campus sweetheart of Capital University, and to be on the receiving end of so much attention from the boys. However, when he thought about his junior's appearance and figure, it made sense that she was the campus sweetheart. Thinking of this, Fade felt relieved and could not help sighing. " How is Joey now?" We haven't seen each other for more than a year. When the boy heard this, he looked at Fade in surprise and asked. "Dude, do you know Joey?" Fade nodded and replied, "Of course do. watched her grow up. We often played together when we were young!" "Ah, so you're Joey's childhood sweetheart?" asked the boy. Fade nodded, "I guess you could say so." The boy looked at Fade's serious face. Unable to hold back his laughter, he finally let out a laugh. "Bro," he said, "It seems you are more obsessed about Joey than we are! We only fantasized about being friends with Joey but you straight up fantasized about being her childhood sweetheart. I admire your imagination!" "I wasn't imagining, what I just told you is true," Fade replied seriously. The boy, however, did not believe it and smiled, "Alright bro, there's no need to explain any further. believe you." Upon seeing this, Fade knew that the guy did not believe him, but he did not explain any further. He changed the topic and asked about Joey. "Is Joey really popular in Capital University?" "Are you serious right now? She's the campus sweetheart. She has been famous ever since she entered the university. All the students and teachers have fallen for her. Over the span of a single semester, the trash cans in the Archeology Department are filled to the top with the love letters she received." "Beside this, Joey is often the talk of the campus. Her reputation in school has been known for a long time, and even in the community college of Capital City "The talk of the campus? Her reputation?" Fade asked. He couldn't help but think of the naughty and mischievous junior on Tianwu Mountain. He then mourned for the guys of the Capital University for a few minutes. The boy looked at Fade, shook his head, and said, "You don't even know about her reputation, and you dare say that you are her childhood sweetheart? Your bluff has been called, my friend." Fade chuckled and didn't explain any further. The boy continued, "When Joey first registered at our school, there was a rich kid in school who was interested in her. One evening, he drove a luxury car with flowers in hand and went downstairs to her dorm to confess to her. You know what happened next? Joey poured a basin of water on him, drenching the rich kid. But the key element of the story is that she had poured hot water on him, scalding him in the process. He was wailing in pain on the floor." "Once, the campus hunk of Capital University had brought flowers, a guitar, and a collection of poems to woo her. On a night of the full moon, he played a song, and romantically confessed his love to Joey. Instead of getting swept off her feet, Joey found a group of middle aged women and began to dance awkwardly to the tune of Little Apple, which obviously ruined the romantic atmosphere the campus hunk worked so hard to create." "Then, there was a very rich businessman who stopped Joey at the school gate and said that he wanted to make Joey his sugar baby. As a response, Joey immediately kicked him, and had him rolling on the ground in pain. He was then ambulance, and that was that." "In short, Joey, our campus sweetheart has had countless adventures."
Chapter 1243 The boy went on endlessly about Joey's stories. It was obvious that he was Joey's hardcore admirer. Fade, who had been listening all this time, fell speechless. He thought to himself, "As expected, my junior's personality hasn't changed at all! She's so lively, and she must have made a lot of people suffer because of her." They went on chatting, and it didn't take long until they reached an old school building. The boy said to Fade, "Here we are. This is the Department of Archeology. Joey should be right inside." Fade looked at the old building crowded with boys, and the numbers looked to be gradually growing. Fade instantly understood the kind of attention Joey was getting at Capital University. "There are so many people here. Is there a special event today?" Fade asked. The boy looked at Fade and said, "Bro, it seems you are not a good fan! You don't even know that today is the day that Joey is going to publicly accept confessions." "Accepting a confession in public? What?" Fade felt that he could not even keep up with his thoughts. The boy said, "Too many people try to go after Joey. They would send her flowers every day to express their love for her which annoyed her a lot. So, to avoid this trouble, Joey had announced last semester that she would find a venue to publicly receive everyone's confession starting from this semester onwards. If you can impress her, maybe she will accept your confession." "What-"Fade was rendered speechless for a moment. The boy said, "After Joey announced the news, countless boys have been secretly preparing during this winter holiday. They are all looking to give Joey a surprise today. Even some outsiders are coming over to try and woo her after hearing the news In short, people are using this opportunity to win her over. Those who are rich will be throwing their money at this while those who aren't will be using other efforts to court her." Wow!" " Just then, the crowd cheered. A man's voice rang out, Joey Chen, I like you, I really do. Ever since I first met you, have already fallen for you. I-" It seemed that someone had started to confess his love for her. However, before the boy could finish his words, a cold female voice sounded. "That's it? Next!" The confession was immediately halted, followed by booing from the rest of the crowd. The boys who stood a distance away from the center of the event was not able to see everything unfold. They could not help but feel a little anxious about things and kept jumping into the air to find out what was going on. Seeing this, Fade took the lead and squeezed into the crowd and said, "Follow me." When the boy saw that Fade had easily squeezed into the crowd, he was delighted and quickly followed him. Following Fade to the inner circle of the event location, he patted Fade on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Bro, I didn't expect you to be so strong! You don't look very buff!" Fade smiled and examined the situation around him. There was an old desk in front of the old building. Behind the desk, a girl whose hair was up in a ponytail, and looked to be around eighteen years old, was sitting on a stool. The girl was beautiful without any makeup on her, but she looked extremely exquisite, like the fresh lotus on a pond of water. She had caught everyone's attention. The girl placed hands on the desk, her face blank as she looked at the boy who stood in front of her and confessed his love to her. She didn't seem like she was on the receiving end of a love confession instead, she looked like the invigilator of an exam. After the boy who confessed left, another boy stood out. He looked at Joey and seemed to be anxious. He took out a piece of paper, took a deep breath and read, "Joey, I regret not doing more for you in the past. If God gave me another chance, I want to say three words to you, I love you. If I have to set a deadline to my love for you, I hope Before he finished his confession, Joey frowned and knocked on the table. interrupting the boy's confession. "How old are you? Why are you confessing to me using such an outdated style? You are so lame. Besides, you should be able to memorize such a short paragraph, Reading your confession from a piece of paper? Where's your sincerity?" The boy who was confessing his feelings felt so ashamed that he blushed. He then left in disgrace under the sound of the crowd's booing and laughter. Joey frowned and knocked on the table. She said in disdain, "What's wrong? I've given you all a chance. Is this all that you've prepared? How disappointing. Upon hearing that, the crowd roared with noise and many stepped forward to confess to her. Compared to the two just now, the remaining men who confessed were more well prepared. Some had prepared gifts, and some had thoughtfully collected various items related to Joey's interests. Although they were attentive, her heart remained unmoved. Joey immediately rejected them. Fade couldn't help but smile as he witnessed the scene before him. He thought to himself, "Joey is still the same. Wherever she goes, excitement follows. After the confession were consecutively rejected by Joey, the crowd grew nervous. At one point, no one dared to go up. Fade looked at the boy beside him, who was excited and anxious. He asked with a smile, "Aren't you her fanatical admirer? Why don't you go up and have a try?" The boy shook his head and nervously said, "My love for Joey is hidden at the bottom of my heart. I'm only willing to convey my love for her through secretly watching over her. I would rather be a big tree beside Joey, silently protecting her by her side." Fade instantly understood what he meant. This was just another guy whose head was muddled with fantasies, but when it truly counted, he was nothing but a coward who was too afraid to act. The atmosphere grew tense as no one had the courage to go into the spotlight for another confession. Joey drummed her fingers against the table as she announced, "There's no one else? Alright then, let's call it a day. I'm going to leave-" "Wait, Joey, I'm here!" Just as Joey was about to leave, a loud voice sounded. Then, a well-dressed young man in a designer suit emerged from the crowd. As soon as the man came forward, people started cheering him on. People from the crowd began to discuss who he was. Fade looked at the boy next to him with curiosity and said, "He is-" The boy looked like he was gnashing his teeth as he said, "This guy is Lebron Zhu. His family is in the trading business in the southern area, and his family property is over several billion yuan. He is the rich kid who has been actively pursuing Joey!" Lebron stood up with a confident smile and walked towards Joey. Seeing this, Joey said, "Oh, it's you, Lebron. You may start now." Hearing this, Lebron dived his right hand into his jacket pocket and took out a small gift box, flashing it to the crowd with a confident smile.
Chapter 1244 Seeing this, another uproar broke out amongst the crowd. "What is Lebron going to do?" "This gift looks pretty special!" "What's so special? Isn't it just a ring or something like that?" "Haha, you are so naive. A diamond ring like that is at least a few thousands or ten thousands of yuan. Can you afford it?" "So what if I can't afford it? Isn't this too old-fashioned? Using a ring for confession. How can Joey accept this?" In the midst of the discussion, Lebron smiled confidently. He then opened the small gift box in his hand, revealing a sparkling ring. He confessed to Joey in a loud voice, "Joey, this is a heartfelt gift I have prepared for you." Joey looked over and saw that there was a sparkling diamond ring in the gift box, which looked extremely gorgeous. However, Joey wasn't really interested in it. She asked blandly, "A diamond ring? This is so old-fashioned. Do you think I will accept it? Besides, we are not close enough for me to accept this diamond ring!" As soon as she finished speaking, many students started to cheer. "Well done, Joey. Don't get induced by the wealth of the rich kid." "I told you, Joey is not materialistic. Money is not a problem to her at all." "That's right. Lebron didn't think this through at all. His diamond ring can't even be compared to the thoughtfulness of the others who had prepared drawings of Joey" "Haha, stop thinking that you are better than others just because you have money. There are some things that you still can't achieve even if you have money." Under the crowd's discussion and ridicule, Lebron glanced at them with disdain and despise. Then he continued with confidence, Joey, don't reject me yet. Let me introduce my gift to you." "This diamond ring is called the Tear of the Ocean'. It was mined from Africa more than two hundred years ago. Later, it was bought and made into this exquisite piece by a European businessman. "A Belgium princess liked this diamond ring so much that she bought it and wore it as her wedding ring. Since then, the diamond ring has been donned on the fingers of many European royal families and aristocrats. The last time anybody saw this diamond ring was 30 years ago at an Earlington banquet of the royal family." "But through a connection, my family had located this ring and spent 100 million yuan to buy it." "This represents my feelings for you. It also represents how important you are to our family, Joey" "Joey, please be my girlfriend!" Lebron held the diamond ring up, with a smile on his face, and confidently knelt with one knee in front of Joey as he spoke. The students were stunned after hearing Lebron's speech. They stared at the sparkling ring, which seemed to emit the aura of the sea. It looked like a refined antique from the old European dynasties. Just then, the students who had been mocking Lebron were immediately let out heavy sighs. "A diamond ring that is worth 100 million yuan. That's so generous!" "It's not about the price, but the story of this diamond ring. It's too magnificent! This is the jewelry that has been worn by the European royal family. It's priceless!" "It seems that Lebron really put in a lot of effort into this. Bravo. The boys were all shocked by Lebron's gesture, and their faces were full of helplessness, while the girls had almost gone feral. "Tears of the Ocean! How romantic. If a man did this for me, I would surely accept his confession." "Joey, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and accept his love!" "No matter how much Joey didn't care about money, she won't be able to hold out on something like this!" Amidst the noisy discussion, Lebron looked at Joey again and assuredly confessed his feelings, "Joey, please accept my love!" At this moment, many students who were watching also shouted, "Say yes, say yes, say yes!" However, Joey still felt indifferent in the moment, and her tone was tinged with mockery as she inquired, "Lebron, is this your so-called sincerity?" Lebron was caught off guard by this. After a moment, he said in astonishment. "Joey, this is the Tear of the Ocean, I..." Joey waved her hand. She interrupted him with a frown and told Lebron, "I don't care if your diamond ring is called the 'Tear of the Ocean' or the 'Rock of the Yellow Earth'. It doesn't make any difference to me." "But, the Tear of the Ocean is from the European royal family" Lebron continued to explain. Joey said, "The royal family of Europe? What does that have to do with me? Are you saying that just because this ring was used by the royal family, it's more superior to everything else? So, in the end, you're still using money as a measure for your feelings." "In my eyes, this gift of yours lacks sincerity, Next!" With a wave of her hand, Joey motioned for Lebron to step away. Everyone fell into a state of shock. They didn't expect Joey to actually reject Lebron's confession. After all, it was a diamond ring worth 100 million yuan. For a moment, everyone was astonished. Lebron stood rooted to his spot as his face fell. He glared at Joey as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.. "Joey, I' ve been so nice to you, but you've humiliated me in public. I'm going to kill you, you b*tch As he shouted, Lebron took out a dagger and rushed towards Joey, face full of fury and rage. Everyone paused in shock at this unexpected scene. When they came back to their senses, they staggered back in fright, shouting at the scene in front of them.. Fade glanced coldly at Lebron, and was about to step forward to stop him. However, just as Fade was about to take action, someone else yelled. "Kill him!" "Go stop him." Almost instantly, the students saw two shadows approaching Lebron at an incredibly high speed. Before Lebron could react to this, a muscular man punched Lebron in the stomach and knocked him down to the ground. The other skinny man grabbed Lebron's right hand and snatched the dagger from him. Lebron was immediately knocked down to the ground by the two. He held his stomach in pain. He looked at the two people in front of him and said fiercely, "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? I'm going to kill you. I-" Before Lebron finished speaking, the crowd separated, and a young man with yellow hair, dressed in expensive clothing stepped out. The man walked up to Lebron, raised his right foot and gave Lebron a hard kick. Immediately, Lebron rolled over on the ground, wailing in pain. The man snorted and chided at Lebron, "Did you just say that you want to kill me?" "F*ck you Lebron cursed in pain as he lifted his head. Once he had a good look of the man, he immediately stopped and said, "Young Master Chung, y-you - didn't know that it was you, I'm sorry
Chapter 1245 Just then, a thin and poised-looking young man in a plain gray suit walked over. Although the outfit brands on the man's body could not be identified, judging from the design and quality, it was obviously not the average mall apparel brand. Their value may not be any lesser than the luxury clothes donned by Young Master Chung. The poised man looked at Lebron and said softly, "It's okay to express your feelings. But if you get angry and hurt people, then you have crossed the line Upon hearing this, Lebron looked at the man and shivered again. He said in a hurry, "Young Master Luo, I've realized my mistake. I won't ever do that again. "Hah! Are you expecting something like this to happen again!" Wilton snorted coldly and turned to the burly men beside him, "Finish him and drag him out." The muscular man was about to do as told, but Gentro, who was next to him, motioned something to him. The skinny man then stepped forward and stopped the muscular man. Upon seeing this, Wilton frowned and looked at Gentro unhappily. "Gentro, what do you mean by this? This guy treated Joey like that, and yet you're stopping me from finishing him off? Are you guys colluding with one another?" Gentro looked at him without much expression on his face, and replied softly, "Though he is guilty, your punishment is too much. Moreover, today is Joey's confession day. It's not appropriate to shed blood at this event." "What if I think that it is appropriate?" Wilton looked at Gentro, tit for tat. Gentro looked calm and answered softly, " Well, I don't think it's appropriate." For a moment, the two stared each other down, as if they were about to fight. Just then, Joey knocked on the table and said impatiently. "If you want to fight, go somewhere else. Don't stay here and waste my time. Upon hearing this, both Wilton and Gentro looked over at Joey, and their expressions changed. Wilton glanced at Lebron and said coldly, "Joey has spoken. You got lucky today. Leave!" Gentro also took a look at Lebron and said blandly, "Off you go!" "Thank you, Young Master Chung, Young Master Luo. Thank you Lebron left hurriedly. He was so embarrassed and left in a state so different from how he first appeared at the event. Both Wilton and Gentro turned around and looked at Joey with smiles on their face. When the students around saw this, they grew excited, and the discussion got louder once again. The boy next to Fade glared at the two men with a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Seeing this, Fade could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Who are these two guys?" The boy gritted his teeth and answered, "They are the most popular campus hunks of Capital University. They are also well-known for being the rich kids at our University. More importantly, they are both admirers of Joey." "The narcissist is called Wilton Chung. He's the young master of the Chung family in Capital City. He's known as 'Mr. Wild', noted for his high-profile character." "The superficial one is Gentro Luo, the young master of the Luo family in Capital City. He looks polite, but I think that he's fake. His nickname is 'Mr. Gentle' "Both of them have been trying to woo Joey for a long time now." After hearing this, Fade finally understood. Wilton and Gentro seemed to be men in Capital University with the highest chance of scoring it with Joey. Lebron appeared to be inferior compared to their family background and who they were individually. No wonder Lebron was so vulnerable in front of them. As for other college boys in Capital University, they were even less comparable to the two men. No wonder most of the boys looked like they were about to kill the two men. Fade sort of understood what was going on here. Wilton then took a step forward and said with a smile, "Joey, have been prepping for months for today. This is how I feel about you, and I hope you can see it." After that, Wilton clapped his hands. Then, everyone heard an engine roar. The crowd started to separate. Everyone looked over. They were surprised to see that there was a line of sports cars driving in their direction. There were all kinds of luxury cars Maybach, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce...and there were more than a dozen of them lined up. Wow, there are so many luxury cars-" " "My God, there are like 20 of them. I think these might be worth more than 100 million yuan!" "You can't just look at the price. Some of these luxury cars are limited edition. You can't even get it with money!" All the students were shocked. However, Wilton was not done yet. He continued to clap with a smile on his face. Suddenly, someone appeared with a stack of documents. Everyone took a good look and found that the documents were property ownership documents, and they exclaimed again. "One house in Spring Garden is about ten million yuan." "That's not a big deal. Look at that, the cheapest villa in Stealth Bay is worth more than 50 million yuan." "And that's the document of ownership of commercial buildings. That's a hot spot shop in the second-tier area of the Capital City, and it costs at least ten million yuan. "All these real estate and stores, they must be worth hundreds of millions, right?" "Are these the gifts that Wilton has prepared for Joey?" "These are more than enough to marry a top tier actress! Wilton is spending such a huge sum of money on these gifts for Joey" "Is she really worth all this?" All of the students were shocked to the point of speechlessness. They didn't expect Wilton to be this generous. Compared to this, Lebron's Tears of Ocean was pathetic and lame. Even Fade was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wilton would spend hundreds of millions for Joey. It seemed like he had underestimated Joey's charm. However, unlike the surprised crowd, Joey looked calm. She glanced at everything Wilton had prepared and didn't show any interest in them. She asked return, "Wilton, do you think there is difference between your behavior in and Lebron's?" Wilton was stunned for a moment, and then he replied with a smile, "Joey, my love for you is much greater than Lebron's. My love for you is evidently - Before Wilton could finish his sentence, Joey waved her hand and said impatiently, "Stop being cringy. Next!" Upon hearing this, Wilton's face fell, and he looked a little displeased. However, at this instance, Gentro stepped up. Everyone's gaze then shifted to Gentro.
