Chapter 1276 After the phone call, Fade put away his mobile phone and got up. "Yankee, let's go." Yankee paused and started in surprise, "But, what about the company? This..." "Don't worry, I've already settled it. It'll be fine," Fade replied confidently. "You've settled it? How..." Yankee turned to Fade in bewilderment. Fade laughed at her reaction. "Didn't I just make some calls? Don't worry, there won't be a single problem." Then, amidst her confusion, Yankee got off work together with Fade. In the following days, everything that was related to Fei's Life Elixir Wine began to spread like wildfire on the Internet and throughout various media in Capital City. This caused a hot discussion amongst the people. Netizens had a heated debate about the efficacy of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. At this time, for some unknown reason, a group of Chinese Medicine doctors in Capital City suddenly expressed their views on the Internet. All of them claimed that there were some problems with Fel's Life Elixir Wine, and a strict inspection or even a direct ban was needed. Among them, Fenoli was naturally the leader. Although Edmund did not express his views personally, his suggestions and various perspectives that he had mentioned at the meeting were intentionally or unintentionally being spread on the Internet. As the news began to spread fiercely online, followed by a group of doctors collectively boycotting the Fei's Life Elixir Wine and on top of the suggestion from the National Chinese Medicine doctor, all this had instantly led the oblivious netizens to take Fenoli's side. They were calling for a boycott and a complete ban on the Fel's Life Elixir Wine. Faced with such a situation, Fei's Enterprises Holdings Inc had released relevant clarifications and certificates on the Internet, but it did not stir up a heated discussion, so it did not attract much attention. People who were in doubt still continued to doubt the product, and people who had boycotted the product had claimed that the so-called evidence was fake. Despite being in this disadvantageous situation, Fade still remained steadfast, as if he was not worried at all. As time went by, the day of the Chiang Medical Center's science seminar had arrived. Hundreds of people who had come to listen to the seminar had gathered at the entrance of Chiang Medical Center at nine o'clock in the morning. At the same time, there were even more people who were watching the live broadcast of the seminar on the Internet. Following the start of the seminar, various hot topics related to Fei's Life Elixir Wine continued to spread widely on the internet. Various perspectives of doctors had also been brought up and made into small videos, which spread rapidly on the Internet. Of course, almost all of these doctors were attempting to discredit and boycott Fei's Life Elixir Wine. In an instant, as the popularity of the science seminar continued to soar, topics about boycotting and banning Fei's Life Elixir Wine were pushed to the top on the internet. Subsequently, Fenoli personally showed up in front of hundreds of audience at the scene and also countless netizens in the live broadcast. He then stated, "Everything said can be attributed to one thing. That is, the effects of all kinds of Life Elixir Wine and health-care wines on the market are basically exaggerated and false advertising." "Especially one of the products named Fei's Life Elixir Wine. The effects advertised have been highly exaggerated. Furthermore, the prices go as high as 10,000 dollars per bottle. That is definitely a fake product. I, Fenoli, declare that I will boycott Fel's Life Elixir Wine here." As soon as he said that, the scene immediately burst into cheers. It became lively on the internet as well. However, at this time, Fade suddenly stood up from the crowd below and stated loudly, "Mr. Chiang, if you have any dissatisfactions with me, just come at me. In the end, you are only talking nonsense and fabricating lies to mislead the vast crowd. Isn't this a little too much?" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately turned their focus and camera lenses to Fade. Quite a few people had a baffled look on their faces. Obviously, they did not recognize who Fade was. Fenoli's lips curled up into a smug little sneer while thinking to himself, was still worried that you wouldn't come, but since you've shown up, don't blame me for being rude to you." Immediately, Fenoli pointed to Fade and introduced in a clear voice, "Everyone, this is Mr. Chen. He is President Chen from Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, which is the company that manufactures Fei's Life Elixir Wine." His words had immediately caused an uproar both at the scene and on the Internet. "So he's that unethical boss!" "He's so young, but he's already a boss. This Fei's Life Elixir Wine is no doubt a fake." "Huh, how dare this unethical businessman show up here. Is he not afraid that the angry crowd will tear him apart?" "Shameless thing. Refund us and give us back our money!" "All of you are a little too rash. Why not listen to what this boss has to say before deciding?" The scene was a mess. Of course, the majority of the crowd were both dissatisfied and doubtful towards Fade. Fenoli became even more pleased. He turned to Fade and asked, "President Chen, what's your purpose of coming to my science seminar today?" "There's no special purpose. I have come here simply to reveal the Chiang Medical Center's true colors," Fade replied calmly. "My true colors?" Fenoli repeated with a laugh. "I don't know whether you're talking about me, or yourself!" Fade then calmly returned. "We both know the reason why the Chiang family is doing this to me. Don't pretend to be ignorant. "I don't understand what you're talking about!" Fenoli shook his head in denial. Fade then immediately said, "Oh? Since you don't understand what I'm talking about, then I'll explain it to you. Your son, Faber, is at Capital University... Immediately, Fade told them about the conflict he had with the Chiang family when Faber had been expelled. Finally, he finished in a loud voice, "This is the reason why the Chiang family has defamed me." This quickly stirred up a heated discussion both at the scene and the Internet again as soon as this topic was brought up by Fade. "So there's actually an inside story behind it. Things seem to be more complicated than we thought!" "So the Chiang family really is taking revenge by slandering Fel's Life Elixir Wine." "Huh, can all of you use your brains? You lot just believed his words when Mr. Chen claimed that the Chiang family is taking revenge! Besides, he is just a kid. It's very unlikely for him to be a teacher at Capital University!" "Oh, that seems to be true. He is at most 25 years old. How could he be a teacher at Capital University? Moreover, he even claims to be a professor. How fake!" "Also, looking from another perspective, we all know how good Faber's medical skills are. He has always been one of the top students in the class, and yet he has been expelled. I'd like to know what Mr. Chen was thinking. He's the one taking revenge, isn't he!" "Yes, this is definitely the case. What a disgusting businessman. If such a person is allowed to be a teacher, our next generation will be done for "We will not only boycott Fei's Life Elixir Wine, but also demand Capital University to fire him. Fade's explanation did not seem to have much effect. Most people were still doubting and were against Fade, choosing to believe in Fenoli.
Chapter 1277 When he saw this, the smile on Fenoli's face grew even wider. He looked at Fade as he stated, "President Chen, the most important thing for you now is to manage the products from your own brand well. You should respond to the questions and doubts that the public has, instead of finding an excuse for yourself or trying to create some conspiracy theories." Fade retorted coldly. "I'm telling the truth. It's not some conspiracy theory." "Is that so? Then, I'd like to ask you about this. You said that the Chiang family wanted to take revenge on you, but there are so many other doctors and professionals who are against you. Even the Chinese Medicine Association, as well as the National Chinese medicine doctor, are all against you. How will you explain this?" Fenoli questioned him. Fade answered blandly, "Everyone knows that the " National Chinese medicine doctor, whom you are talking about is your father, Edmund Chiang. I have already mentioned the reason why he is doing this. Besides, even if it is the words of the National Chinese medicine doctor", it may not be necessarily correct either His words immediately caused an uproar at the scene. "This kid is too arrogant. How could he say something like that?" "'Mr. Chiang is a respectable figure in the Chinese Medicine industry. Even if he is Faber's grandfather, he won't lie to deceive the public." "Who the hell is he? He's just an unethical boss. How dare he question Master Chiang? What a joke!" "Get lost. Don't stay here anymore. What an eyesore. In a stream of curses, Fenoll smiled proudly and continued, "Since you claimed that the "National Chinese medicine doctor is not necessarily correct, then I'll invite the National Chinese medicine doctor" to come and speak to you personally," After saying that, Fenoli clapped his hands, and an old man in his sixties or seventies, wearing a long robe, with a beard walked out. Many people immediately cheered at the sight of Fenoli. They picked up their mobile phones respectively and started to take pictures of him. All of them recognized this person as the "National Chinese medicine doctor", Edmund Chiang. Fenoli invited his father to sit down and whispered something in his ear. Immediately, Edmund looked at Fade and said in an unfriendly tone, Just now, was it you who had questioned my statements?" Fade looked at Edmund calmly and replied calmly, "I don't know whether your other statements are true. However, your statements on the Fel's Life Elixir Wine are 100% wrong." "How dare you!" Edmund's face fell as he bellowed, "I am a committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association, as well as a National Chinese Medicine doctor. Are you questioning my capabilities?" "I'm not sure about your capabilities, but your judgment about Fei's Life Elixir Wine is ridiculously wrong, Fade replied. "Are you kidding me? I am ridiculously wrong? Then I'd like to ask you, how are the various effects promoted by the Fei's Life Elixir Wine achieved? What medicinal herbs are used and what is the mechanism behind it? You can't prove that your products are effective if you can't explain it clearly" Edmund barked angrily. At the same time, Fenoli secretly gave the people below a knowing look and looked at Fade attentively, ready to record Fade's explanation. As professionals, of course they knew how miraculous the effect of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine was. They had also tried to imitate their own brand of Life Elixir Wine many times in the past, but they did not succeed at all. Now, if Fade revealed the list of medicinal herbs used and the theories, they might be able to get the clues to imitate the product. By then, they would be able to make a big profit by changing the packaging of the wine and rebranding it for sale. What wishful thinking! Of course, Fade knew what they were exactly thinking. He responded coldly, "Regarding the trade secrets of our products. I can't disclose them. "You can't disclose them? Huh, then how can you prove that your products are really effective?" Edmund questioned. Fade replied blandly, "My products have received the certifications from the relevant departments. Other than that, they have also been approved by the members of the Chinese Medicine Association. Of course, they are effective." "Certifications. You don't know how many tricks there are involved in these things. I won't say much about anything else. However, you've said that you have got the approval from the committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association. So, I would like to know which committee member has approved your products? Please get him to come forward and confront me," Edmund requested. Fenoli stood at the side smugly as he stared at Fade. He was feeling extreme pleasure from taking revenge on him. Edmund had informed the members of the Chinese Medicine Association of this matter. With his father's qualifications, it was almost impossible that anyone would come out to stand up for Fade at this time. Just then, the crowd below the stage and numerous netizens gazed at Fade Fade glanced at the time before turning to look at the side of the road and said faintly, "The person will come soon. You will know when the time comes However, at this moment, the end of the road was desolate and there was no one there at all. The crowd could not help but start mocking him again. "This kid, what are you up to?" "Is he trying to waste time? It's impossible for him to invite the members of the Chinese Medicine Association here to stand up for him!" "He can't hold on any longer. This unethical boss is going to fall. "Fei's Life Elixir Wine will definitely be banned." "Huh, you reap what you sow!" Everyone was starting to get a little impatient when they saw that no one was coming even after waiting for a few minutes. Fenoli also sneered. "Fade Chen, where is the member of Chinese Medicine Association whom you claim supports you?" Just then, a car drove speedily towards them. With a smiling face, Fade strode over to the car as he said, "The person is here." Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the car, with curious looks on their faces. They wanted to know which esteemed figure had come. Fenoli indistinctly felt that something was wrong, and he gave Edmund a look. Edmund gave him a reassuring gaze and whispered, "Don't worry, there won't be any accidents. Even if it's really a member of the Chinese Medicine Association, I have a way to overpower him. With my status in the association, there are actually very few people who can defeat me." Upon hearing this, the weight in Fenoli's heart was immediately relieved. Meanwhile, the car stopped at the entrance of Chiang Medical Center. The car door opened and an old man came out of the car. Fade greeted him warmly as he said, "Mr. Tu, thank you for coming!" At this moment, everyone cast their gaze over with a look of confusion on their faces. "Who is this old man? He looks respectable. Is he also a Chinese medicine doctor?" "If there is a Chinese medicine doctor like him in Capital City, why haven't I seen him before?" "Don't you all know him? He is the well-known Three Needles Tu, Jason Tu from Dragonville!" Mr. Tu? Are you talking about the National Chinese Medical doctor in Dragonville, as well as the boss of the Tu Medicine Center?" "Yes, that's him. Mr. Tu was originally a member of the Chinese Medicine Association. Some time ago, due to the Acupuncture King incident in South Stream City, Mr. Tu's reputation and status in the association had risen to a higher level, where he had been directly promoted to a committee member of the board." "South Stream City's Acupuncture King. Are you referring to Lamont Cao's incident? Since Jason Tu had defeated Lamont, his strength is certainly unquestionable!" "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen would be able to invite a member of the association here. Furthermore, it is the National Chinese medicine doctor, Mr. Tu."
Chapter 1278 The audience at the scene and on the internet were all discussing enthusiastically. However, the expressions of the Chiang family members, who were initially looking very proud, became devastated. Their faces appeared to be cold and gloomy at that moment. Fenoli looked towards Jason and asked with a frown, "Why is Jason Tu here?" Edmund, on the other hand, had remained quite calm and said to Fenoli, "Jason is also from Dragonville, so it's normal for him to know Fade. Although Jason is also a committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association, he is still a newly promoted member. can still overpower him." Hearing his father's words, Fenoli's uneasy heart calmed down a little. However, just when he felt a little relieved, the door on the other side of the car opened, and an elder's face appeared. Everyone was stunned and glanced towards the person in surprise and curiosity. "There is another person. Who is he?" "Judging from his looks, he should be an experienced Chinese medicine doctor." "Fade has quite a strong backing. Not only did he manage to invite Mr. Tu, but also an experienced Chinese medicine doctor. Is he the National Chinese Medical Doctor?" "Do you think the National Chinese Medical Doctor is ordinary? Is it so easy to invite him over?" Just when many people were talking about it, Fade helped the elder to get out of the car. Everyone was in shock when they finally saw the elder's face. "Isn't... Isn't that Flynt Chol, Master Choi?" "It is Master Choi. How is this possible?" "That's really the National Chinese Medical Doctor. Furthermore, it's Master Chol" "Master Choi is famous and experienced Chinese Medicine a practitioner in Capital City. He is also a committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association. His status is actually on par with Edmund's!" "Fade actually has such a strong backing. He can even invite Master Chol over." "In this way, things seem to be a little different now. Meanwhile, the Chiang family, who felt relieved a while ago, had a completely different expression when they saw the situation. "How is this possible? He has also invited Master Choi over!" Fenoli was absolutely flabbergasted. Even Edmund furrowed his brows at that moment while his expression turned a little grim, "Since when did Master Chol have a connection with this kid?" "Dad, what should we do now? If Master Choi and Mr. Tu form an alliance with Fade, I'm afraid that we..." Fenoli said worriedly. Edmund shot Fenoli a glare and said, "Why are you panicking? Everything is still under our control now. Besides, even if Jason and Flynt speak up for him, there are still people on my side. Meanwhile, Fade's eyes lit up when he heard what Master Choi and Mr. Tu had said to him. He said excitedly, "James mentioned that he would come. That's awesome!" After that, the three of them went to the entrance of Chiang Medical Center. The audience at the scene and on the internet were astonished to see the three National Chinese Medical Doctors gathered there. Although Edmund was not feeling very pleased, he still had to mind his manners. He approached them with a warm smile and said, "Jason, Flynt, why didn't you tell me earlier that you'd be coming? I could have arranged for someone to pick you up!" Outsiders might think that Jason and Flynt were there for Edmund when they noticed Edmund's enthusiastic expression. Looking at Edmund's enthusiasm, Jason and Flynt responded calmly, Edmund, you are being too polite. We were invited by our friend, Fade, to help clarify some things for him." Seeing that the two of them were not showing him any respect, and they even mentioned Fade, Edmund's expression became sullen. Squinting his eyes, he paused for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then I think this popular science seminar will just end here today" Edmund was actually thinking of retreating so that he would succeed in the end. He wanted to end the science seminar and the live broadcast activities directly, so that Fade would not have a platform to express himself. However, how could Fade let him succeed? He stepped forward and said immediately, "Master Chiang, you have been too polite. I think it's better to continue with the science seminar. Besides, I haven't clarified your doubts about my company's products just now." The audiences focused on them after hearing his words. Seeing this, Edmund could only nod and say, "If that's the case, I'll hear you out." Fade continued, " Master Chiang had doubts about the quality of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine manufactured by my company. This is absolutely something that I can't agree with. My products have been tested and verified by the relevant departments in the country. They are definitely high quality and excellent products." "Both Mr. Tu and Master Choi can testify for me!" Fade looked at the two National Chinese Medical Doctors after saying that. Mr. Tu took a step forward and said, "The Fei's Life Elixir Wine was initially manufactured in Dragonville. I have personally checked and reviewed the entire process myself, and there is absolutely no problem. Moreover, I am also a loyal consumer of the Fel's Life Elixir Wine. have been taking the wine for over a year now. As a consumer, I'll say that the wine is absolutely effective." Everyone did not expect that Mr. Tu would have such high regards for the product. They started to talk about it among themselves. The various queries and doubts that the public had of Fade and the Fei's Life Elixir Wine, had taken a turn at that moment. When Edmund saw the situation, he had a feeling that things were not going smoothly, so he quickly said, "Mr. Tu, I have no right to comment about your personal experience, but I'm not so sure about the benefits as advertised by the Fei's Life Elixir Wine in the Capital City. I still have reservations about the product. I recommend that the Fei's Life Elixir Wine be tested and temporarily banned until the test results have been finalized." Fade's gaze froze when the word "ban" was mentioned. However, Master Chol took a step forward at that moment and said, "Edmund, I don't think it's appropriate for you to say that." "What's inappropriate?" Edmund asked. Master Choi replied, "The Fel's Life Elixir Wine has been certified and has officially been approved for sale by the relevant departments. You recommend to ban the Fei's Life Elixir Wine solely because of your own doubts. This is definitely not in accordance with the rules." Edmund retorted, "A product with certification does not necessarily mean that there will not be a problem at all. After all, there are always all kinds of counterfeit or poor quality products going around in the market. Furthermore, there seems to be several poisoning incidents related to the Life Elixir Wine recently. Therefore, I feel that there is a need to ban and test the product. Of course, it's just not my opinion. There are many members of the Chinese Medicine Association who agree with me as well." He was trying to use the committee members to put pressure on Master Choi. However, Master Choi did not give in. He continued, "No matter how many people think so, something that goes against the rules is inappropriate." Upon hearing this, Edmund's tone grew colder and harsher. He replied in a cold voice, "Whether it's appropriate not, I don't think have the final say. There will be an outcome after the association has finalized the voting result." Master Choi said in a deep voice, "I don't agree with such voting. Besides, I firmly believe that the Fei's Life Elixir Wine has no problem at all." "Is that so?" Edmund said coldly. Meanwhile, a group of people came over and Edmund waved and greeted them.
Chapter 1279 Most of the audience and netizens did not know the people. However, some people who were familiar with the Capital City Chinese medicine industry could recognize them immediately. "They are members of the Chinese Medicine Association. They are all here." "There should be around twenty of them. Are they all here to support Master Chiang?" "Look, there are committee members as well as ordinary members. Nearly one third of the association members are here." "This time round, I'm afraid that Master Choi and Mr. Tu will be in trouble. They might be isolated in the association in future." Edmund welcomed the people from the Chinese Medicine Association warmly. He updated them on the Fei's Life Elixir Wine in public. They immediately showed their attitudes in front of everyone. "I've heard of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine and the few recent incidents related to it. Therefore, I still support Master Chiang's proposal. I agree that there is a need to ban and have the product be tested." "That's right. After all, this is a matter of life and death. It's best to be extra cautious about it. "I understand what Master Choi and Mr. Tu said, but this time, I will support Master Chiang. Please forgive me. "As a doctor, I also have doubts about the efficacy of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. That kind of publicity is a bit too much." After a round of discussion, all the people expressed their support for Edmund, Suddenly, the situation seemed to be more inclined towards Edmund. At the same time, the feedback from the internet also started shifting. "So many people are supporting Master Chiang. There must be some problems with the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. "But both Mr. Tu and Master Chol are National Chinese Medical Doctors. Their judgment shouldn't be wrong. "That's not for sure. Master Chiang is also a National Chinese Medicine Doctor, and his judgment can also be accurate. "I think that they're right. This is something that involves human life. It's better to be a little more cautious about it." In such a situation, the smugness was back on Fenoli's and Edmund's faces as they looked at Fade. Fade took a glance at Mr. Tu and Master Chol. Master Choi said, "From my point of view, your doubts are completely unreasonable. The Fei's Life Elixir Wine has no problem at all, be it efficacy or quality" "Master Choi, nothing is absolute! If something goes wrong, you won't be able to take responsibility for it!" Edmund said. Master Choi asked in a cold voice, "I can't take the responsibility for it? Then let me ask you this. If there is no problem with the Fei's Life Elixir Wine, can you, Edmund Chiang, take responsibility for your own words?" Edmund laughed and said, "I'm just concerned about the safety of the public. It's normal for me to raise doubts about the product. No matter what, I shouldn't be the one shouldering the responsibility. "Really? Then just wait and see!" With a sneer, Master Choi then looked towards the camera facing the road. Seeing this, Edmund frowned while thinking to himself, "What does he mean? Does he still have a backup plan?" Just when everyone was curious, a black car arrived. All of them were shocked when they saw the license plate of the car. That was obviously a government officer's vehicle, so the person in the car should be from a government department. "A government officer? Who is it? don't think I invited anyone!" Edmund thought to himself. Fenoli, on the other hand, was a little worried, "Dad, what should we do if Master Choi has indeed invited a government officer over?" Edmund replied in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry so much. Ordinary government agencies can't meddle in our Chinese Medicine Association affairs. I don't think Fade has the ability to invite those people who have the authority to meddle in our affairs." Hearing this, Fenoli was slightly relieved. When the car door opened, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, got out of the car. The audience was extremely confused when they saw the man. The man did not look familiar and they did not know him at all. However, the expressions of the members of the Chinese Medicine Association changed immediately as soon as they saw him. "That's, that's Secretary Wen. Am right?" "That is indeed, Secretary Wen, Director Qi's first secretary." "Why, why is Secretary Wen here? What the hell is going on? "Why is Secretary Wen here? Did something happen?" Amidst the discussion, James' gaze swept over the people while putting on a smile. He quickened his pace when he saw Fade and approached him with a grin. He shook Fade's hand first and said, "Mr. Chen, we meet again. Fade also smiled and said, "Sorry for the inconvenience that you had to make a trip over today." "It's no trouble at all. It's my honor to be able to help you, Mr. Chen," James replied politely. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw such a scene. However, the most astounded ones were both Fenoli and Edmund. Especially Edmund, who had confidently said that Fade would not be able to invite someone who had the authority to meddle in his business. He looked very pale at that moment. "How could this be? That's actually James," he muttered. Fenol also looked grim, "Secretary Wen is the first secretary of Director Qi. He can speak and act on behalf of Director Qi who is also our immediate superior." "Dad, what should we do now?" Fenoli asked while feeling a little flustered. Edmund's face looked horrible. After remaining silent for a while, he said, "Don't worry, it's not at its worst moment yet. Even if James speaks for him, we won't necessarily fail too. It's because we have a reasonable suspicion about Fel's Life Elixir Wine. Furthermore, James won't understand it since he is not a professional medical personnel." At that moment, Master Choi and Mr. Tu walked over to James and said something to him. After hearing that, Secretary Wen nodded and then strode over to Edmund. Forcing a smile, Edmund walked up to him and said, "Secretary Wen, you're here. Please come in..." James interrupted Edmund coldly and said, "Edmund, there's something I would like to ask you." "Please feel free to ask me anything. I will definitely tell you everything I know." Edmund replied. James immediately continued, "Mr. Chen just told me that you took the lead in banning the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. I want to know, what's going on?" Edmund's heart skipped a beat. Even though he could feel that things were not going well, he still kept a stern expression. He explained, "James, there have been several Life Elixir Wine poisoning incidents in Capital City. There are even counterfeits which have been reported too." "From our investigation, we suspect that the poisoning incidents are related to the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. For the sake of public safety, we therefore propose a temporary ban on the Fei's Life Elixir Wine so that further tests and verification can be performed." Edmund became more discreet in his choice of words when he spoke to James.
Chapter 1280 However, James still let out a cold snort after hearing this and said with a frown, "Master Chiang, you are not only an experienced doctor of the Chinese Medicine Association, but also a National Chinese Medicine Doctor. How could you be so muddled?" "James, I... I'm just doing my job." Edmund explained. James said coldly, "Just doing your job? Master Chiang, you just said that you are suspecting the so-called poisoning and counterfeit incidents have something to do with the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. How can it be simply banned when there is no actual evidence?" "Well, I, just want to be safe. It's a precautionary measure to prevent any more incidents. After all... Edmund explained. However, before he could finish his words, James interrupted him again and said coldly, "This is not a way to prevent incidents! Moreover, I can guarantee that the Fei's Life Elixir Wine does not have any of those concerns which you have mentioned." "We can't guarantee this kind of thing!" Edmund said in an unfriendly tone. James replied firmly, "I can guarantee this. It's because the Fei's Life Elixir Wine is a product made by Mr. Chen, and I trust him. There is no problem at all." "Secretary Wen, you are being too rash!" Edmund said in a deep voice. Many members of the Chinese Medicine Association looked at James in surprise too. They could not understand why James had strong trust in Fade. It seemed somewhat unreasonable. In an instant, many audience members made various comments. Some people trusted James as he was the leader of a government agency and therefore, he would know those things better. Of course, there were many people who did not trust him. They said he was just an officer, not a medical staff. Thus, he was unable to determine whether the Fei's Life Elixir Wine was safe as he lacked the professional knowledge and qualifications. Some people even made malicious speculations about James having a secret connection with Fade. It was why he supported Fade so much. Facing the various speculations from Edmund and others, James said in a deep voice, "I am not being rash at all. It's just that Mr. Chen's identity is beyond your imagination. "What identity?" Everyone was confused. At that point, James revealed a red certificate and said, "Look carefully at this!" "That's the Special Contribution Award!" Everyone looked at the words imprinted on the certificate and read it word by word. To the ordinary people, the award was nothing special. However, the members of the Chinese Medicine Association were startled by it. Only professionals in the industry would understand the meaning of "Special Contribution Award". It represented the highest level of award one could get in the country's pharmaceutical industry. Only those who had made great contributions to the country's pharmaceutical industry would be qualified to receive the award. Over the past ten years, other than Fade, there was only one other medical professional who had received the honor. That medical professional received the award only after receiving the Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine. However, Edmund and the others found it extremely hard to believe that Fade had also received the "Special Contribution Award". "This... This is impossible!" "How did he receive the Special Contribution Award?" "It's definitely fake. It must be." James snorted when he heard it and said, "Fake? Do you know that the award was personally awarded to Mr. Chen by Director Qi? The award was to commemorate Mr. Chen for his great contribution for the development of the Ephedra Syrup in response to the Alstom Antibiotic shortage crisis." Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing it. Even the audience and netizens, who knew nothing about medicine, also seemed completely flabbergasted. During that time, Micovia Bald Eagle Pharma blocked the patent, which caused a shortage of Alstom Antibiotics in the country, which led to the rapid increase in price. Almost everyone had experienced it. The shortage of Alstom Antibiotics had caused a series of repercussions in the country, such as the prices of various medical supplies skyrocketing. As a result, there were many people who could not afford to see a doctor. In such critical situations, many patients could only wait for their death at home. However, the Ephedra Syrup had been developed in time as a substitute to the Alstom Antibiotic. It not only solved the Alstom Antibiotic shortage problem, but the effect of the Ephedra Syrup was also much better. Furthermore, the price of the Ephedra Syrup was cheaper than the Alstom Antibiotic. It could be said that the development of the Ephedra Syrup had saved the life of thousands or even millions of people in the country. Therefore, it was natural that such a contribution was recognized and Fade was awarded the Special Contribution Award. Edmund was completely stunned when he thought of it. He stood still at the spot and said, "How could this be possible? The Ephedra Syrup was developed by him?" James replied with a snort, "You still don't believe it? Then, let me show you the video that Director Qi has shot personally!" After saying that, James showed a video that recorded Director Qi personally confirming Fade's development of the Ephedra Syrup. Edmund and the others were completely speechless. Meanwhile, James also said, "During the approval process, the team that was led by Director Qi had not only checked and approved the Ephedra Syrup, but also the Fei's Life Elixir Wine. It was approved as a supplementary medicine for the Ephedra Syrup." "Now, do you still want to insist that there are quality and counterfeit concerns with the Fei's Life Elixir Wine?" James retorted harshly. Edmund did not expect that Fade would have such an impressive background. The Fei's Life Elixir Wine was actually approved together with Ephedra Syrup. There was no need to say anything else. As soon as the news was released to the public, there was no concern about the quality of the Fei's Life Elixir Wine anymore. It was because the approval process of the Ephedra Syrup was the top priority of the country, so the standard was definitely the most stringent Edmund did not have any more reasons to defend himself. He just kept silent with his head lowered. The other members of the Chinese Medicine Association also did not dare to say anything more when they saw that Edmund admitted defeat. Meanwhile, James' words caused an uproar among the audience and netizens. They started commenting and debating among themselves. James swept his gaze over the group of people who kept their heads low, before turning to Fade and asked, "Mr. Chen, how do you wish to deal with them?" Fade scanned the group of people in front of him. Eventually, his gaze landed on Edmund and Fenoli as he said indifferently, "I won't hold the others accountable since they have been deceived. But Fenoll and Edmund, tell us about how you planned and arranged all of this in order to tarnish the Fei's Life Elixir Wine." Edmund and Fenoli quivered when they heard his words. There was also a strange expression on their faces. However, Edmund gritted his teeth and said, "This is just a misjudgment on my part. It's not a plan or arrangement to slander Fei's Life Elixir Wine. I'm willing to take responsibility and bear the consequences." "Just a misjudgement?" Fade snapped coldly. Edmund responded firmly. "Yes, it's just a misjudgment. There's no other reason.
Chapter 1281 Narrowing his eyes, Fade paused for a moment before turning to look at James and he asked, "James, what kind of punishment would be suitable for this mistake?" James replied in a deep voice, "According to the regulations, we should revoke Master Chiang's position as a committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association. At the same time, we should also expel him from the Chinese Medicine Association and strip him off his 'National Chinese medicine doctor' title. Shocked upon hearing this, Fenoli involuntarily yelled, "No, how can you... "Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, Edmund shot Fenoli a glare and barked, "I'm willing to accept the punishment." "Dad, you... Edmund's National Chinese Medicine Doctor title and the committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association status was the trump card of the Chiang family. If all of these were stripped off of him, the Chiang family would definitely decline. That was why Fenoli was unwilling to let this happen. However, Edmund bellowed again, interrupting Fenoli. Then, Edmund glared at him, followed by a knowing wink before he continued, "I've already made up my mind. You don't need to say anything further anymore." Seeing his father's determined eyes, Fenoli calmed down and pondered for a moment. Then, he immediately understood his father's intention. Edmund would rather use his years of status to take responsibility for this incident than to admit the deliberate frame-up. Otherwise, the entire Chiang family as well as Chiang Medical Center would probably be over. In this current situation, Edmund had taken the sole responsibility for this incident. Although he would be losing his previous status, the Chiang family could still rely on Chiang Medical Center's business to survive. This was due to its long standing reputation. Fenoli immediately closed his mouth and kept silent after everything became clear to him. However, his gaze was still filled with resentment when he looked at Fade. Seeing this, Fade looked at Edmund and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you don't admit to the frame-up incident?" With a firm look, Edmund shook his head and replied, "I don't understand what you mean. This incident is solely a mistake made by me. It has nothing to do with a frame-up at all." Upon hearing this, Fade nodded but did not have much reaction as everything was actually within his expectations. After a moment of silence, Fade looked at Edmund and said, "The reason why you insisted that this is entirely your mistake is to protect Chiang Medical Center for your family." Hearing this, Edmund and Fenoli's eyes widened at the same time. However, Edmund immediately returned to normal and said in a calm voice, "I don't understand what you mean by that. The mistake I said earlier is nothing but the truth." "Really?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Fade's mouth and then he said, "If that's the case, I believe you surely won't mind if Chiang Medical Center collapsed." "What do you mean by this?" Asked Edmund while his expression became tense. Fade did not explain anything. Turning around, he looked at the opposite side of the road and said, "You can start now." Upon Fade's order, a store on the opposite side of the road, which was originally covered by construction cloth, had its cloth removed immediately. In an instant, an antique-styled and elegant store was revealed. On the plaque hung at the middle of the shop, there were three large words, "Sincere Medicine Center" written on it. Everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this. There were some people who still had not come back to their senses yet and wore a perplexed look on their faces. "What is this Sincere Medicine Center? What do Fade's words mean?" "Judging from its appearance, it looks like a Chinese medical center. Is Mr. Chen opening a Chinese medical center to compete with Chiang Medical Center?" "I know this. The clinic that Mr. Chen owns in Dragonville is also called Sincere Medicine Center." Many people already had some idea of what Fade was trying to do. Fade then announced loudly, "This medical center is a branch of my Sincere Medicine Center in Capital City. The center will officially open for business from today onwards." "Our Sincere Medicine Center has established a foothold in Chinese medicine. We have invited various top famous doctors in the Chinese medicine industry to treat every one of our patients." "Mr. Jason Tu and Master Flynt Choi will also be specially employed as doctors at our Sincere Medicine Center branch in Capital City. In addition to that, all of our charges will be 30% cheaper than what Chiang Medical Center charges. If we fail to do what I have just said, we will waive all the charges. They were caught by total surprise when Fade made the announcement. In an instant, all their attention was focused on Sincere Medicine Center and they started to discuss enthusiastically among themselves. "Mr. Chen's medical center should be quality guaranteed! After all, he was the one who developed the Ephedra Syrup." "In addition, the two National Chinese Medicine doctors, Mr. Tu and Master Chol will also be serving at the medical center as specially employed doctors. You might not even be able to enjoy such a treatment in any of the top three hospitals in the country!" "Most importantly, even with such a quality offering, Sincere Medicine Center only charges 70% of what Chiang Medical Center is charging. That's really a bargain." In the midst of the discussions, many customers rushed straight to the opposite side at that moment, eager to try out the experience at Sincere Medicine Center. As for Edmund and Fenoli, their faces instantly sank at this moment and their expressions became dejected. Edmund had put in a lot of effort to protect Chiang Medical Center. However, Fade had now opened a Chinese medical center right opposite it. Sincere Medicine Center had leveraged a greater reputation and a lower price to attract customers. Coupled with this incident which had surely brought negative impacts to Chiang Medical Center, how could they even compete with Sincere Medicine Center in the future? If this continued, Chiang Medical Center would surely collapse soon. Edmund could no longer control himself when he thought of this. With a malicious expression, he barked at Fade, "You can't do this, you can't do this. Chiang Medical Center is the result of my decades of hard work. You can't destroy it!" Seeing this, Fade said indifferently, "Does it have anything to do with me?" "What's more, I only opened my own Chinese medical center. I didn't do anything to Chiang Medical Center, Fade continued after a pause. "You, you..." Gnashing his teeth with hatred, Edmund glared at Fade and said, "Fade, you have destroyed Chiang Medical Center and my family. I won't let you go. I will definitely not let you go." Fenoli was also very agitated at this moment. He barked at Fade, 'Fade Chen, even though we didn't manage to bring you down this time, we will definitely not let you off in the future." "You wanted to bring me down this time? What do you mean by that?" Fade asked. Fenoli's face suddenly froze. Realizing that he had accidentally spilled the beans, he immediately closed his mouth in a hurry. His face was grim as he fell silent. Seeing this, Fade ignored the two of them and headed straight to Sincere Medicine Center with Jason, Flynt and the others. James also gave Fade a lot of respect. He personally performed the ribbon cutting opening ceremony for the Sincere Medicine Center. Therefore, the live Science seminar ended with a result that nobody had expected. Numerous audience members at the scene and on the Internet continued to discuss this incident enthusiastically.
Chapter 1282 "I never expected that the Chiang family would actually be defeated." "Fade turned out to be such a significant person. I've failed to recognize someone of a great status." "Did you hear Fenoli say that he wanted to bring down Fade just now? Does this mean that this entire incident itself was simply a conspiracy against Fade?" "Needless to say, you will understand it better after thinking about it. It must be intentional. Otherwise, can't a National Chinese Medicine doctor like Edmund Chiang, so many committee members and ordinary members of the Chinese Medicine Association clearly tell the effect of the Fel's Life Elixir Wine?" "They thought that their capabilities and power were strong enough to defeat Mr. Chen, but they didn't expect that he would knock them down so easily. Haha, like this ending." "By the way, does anyone know about the treatment results of the patients who visited this Sincere Medicine Center?" "Is there a need to doubt Mr. Chen's medical center? It would definitely be good!" "It's true that Mr. Chen is really amazing but he will not be personally seeing any patients. I'm afraid that the result is still hard to guarantee!" "You don't have to worry about that. I have experience. The Sincere Medicine Center is absolutely worthwhile." "Let's put it this way. The Sincere Medicine Center already had a good reputation in Dragonville. A branch was opened later in Jade City, which became the largest and most famous Chinese medical center in Jade City. It's not just locals but also many foreigners and celebrities who are also waiting in line at Sincere Medicine Center for treatment." "That sounds awesome. Then, I will go to Sincere Medicine Center instead of Chiang Medical Center in the future. "Of course. What's the point of going to Chiang Medical Center when it's already in this state now?" Amidst the heated discussion, the Fei's Life Elixir Wine incident ended with a huge reversal. After settling these problems, Fade immediately returned to the school and continued his normal life as a teacher. However, Jasmine still did not come to school in the following days. There was no news about her either. Fade was feeling more and more perplexed about it. On this day, Fade was about to return to his office after his morning class when a phone call suddenly came through. "Hello," he answered the phone. "Is this Mr. Chen? I'm calling from the Student Administration Office. Previously, you asked us to look up a student called Jasmine Zhuo right?" The staff member on the other end of the line said. Upon hearing Jasmine's name, Fade hurriedly said, "Yes, it's Jasmine Zhuo. Is there any news on her?" The staff member replied, "Just this morning, someone came to the Student Administration Office and completed the school withdrawal procedures for Jasmine. "What? Withdraw from school? Fade was shocked. Even though he did not have much contact with Jasmine, Fade knew that she would never drop out of school for no reason. After all, Jasmine had asked him a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge during their last meal. After a moment of surprise, Fade immediately asked, "Who came to complete the school withdrawal procedures? Did Jasmine come personally?" "No, it was done by a man in his 30s. He had Jasmine's various documents and an authorization letter that was personally signed by her which is why he could complete the withdrawal procedures successfully. "A man? The procedures have already been completed?!" Hearing this, Fade could not help but frown. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. After hanging up the phone, Fade was preparing to go to the Student Administration Office to check out what exactly was going on. However, a little boy of around twelve year old came over to Fade and stopped him right at this time. "Hi there little boy, is there anything I can do for you?" Fade asked. The little boy took out an envelope, handed it to Fade and said, "Big brother, this is for you. "A letter? Who asked you to give it to me?" Fade asked. The little boy replied, "Just now, an uncle asked me to give it to you." Fade took a quick glance around but did not find any suspicious figures. After pondering for a while, he took the envelope from the little boy and asked him to leave. With doubts and curiosity, Fade opened the envelope and took a few glances at it. Then, he couldn't help frowning. It was because this letter was actually an invitation card that invited Fade to visit as a guest. Moreover, the invitation originated from Szeto Academy. "Szeto Academy, what are they planning?" Fade did not feel that Szeto Academy and him had a friendly relationship. Fade continued reading until the last line where he suddenly narrowed his eyes and clutched the envelope tightly with his hand. It was because, the last line of the letter wrote, "Mr. Chen, please attend the wedding ceremony of Szeto Academy's disciple, Hamlet Szeto and Jasmine Zhuo at that time." "Jasmine, Szeto Academy." With icy cold eyes, Fade started to think quickly trying to figure out how Jasmine became connected to Szeto Academy. However, it was obvious that he could not figure anything out just by thinking. Putting away the envelope, Fade looked into the distance and whispered to himself, "Szeto Academy, I'll be there. You guys better don't do anything harmful to Jasmine or you'll regret it." In the evening, Fade drove to the Szeto Academy. Szeto Academy was a relatively large manor that was located in the northern suburb of Capital City. At that moment, the entrance of the manor was bustling with activities. The atmosphere was very lively. Many of Capital City's wealthy people and celebrities who could usually only be seen on TV and on the Internet drove into the manor one after another. Fade took out an invitation and drove into the manor. After parking the car, Fade walked toward the manor as the emcee at the door announced, "Mr Fade Chen, from Capital City's Sincere Medicine Center has arrived!" Following this announcement, everyone at the scene instantly cast their gazes over. They were all looking at Fade with strange expressions on their faces while whispering voices could gradually be heard softly. "Is that the Fade Chen who defeated the Chiang Medical Center? I didn't expect him to be so young!" "Didn't he have a history with Szeto Academy? How dare he show up here? Is this a deliberate provocation?" "I heard that Kaeran Szeto, the principal of Szeto Academy personally invited him." "Master Szeto personally invited him? Why did Master Szeto do that?" "It seems to be something related to Master Szeto's disciple. Anyway, there will be a good show for us to watch later on." Amidst the sounds of discussion, many guests were criticizing and ridiculing Fade. However, none of them came forward to greet him. After all, almost everyone at the scene knew that Fade had offended the Szeto Academy. Before they could figure out Kaeran's plans towards Fade, they did not want to take any risks. On the other hand, Fade, a non-local who had just arrived in Capital City less than a month ago had already defeated Chiang Medical Center. Besides that, he had also bred enmity with the Chung family as well as offended Szeto Academy. Even the rich and powerful people in Capital City would not want to make friends with such a troublemaker so as to prevent themselves from getting into trouble. Fade did not care about the guests' indifference toward him. He looked for a seat in a vacant corner and quietly waited for the wedding to begin. A figure suddenly came in front of Fade while he was sipping his water and a cold voice followed, "Fade Chen!"
Chapter 1283 Fade looked up upon hearing the voice and found a handsome young man standing in front of him. With a gloomy and resentful expression, the young man glared at Fade in a rather unfriendly manner. "It's you! Wilton Chung," said Fade blandly as he recognized the man. "Why are you looking for me?" Fade's indifferent attitude infuriated Wilton further. Clenching his teeth, Wilton said, "I still remember what happened in the restaurant last time." "Really? Have your wounds from last time completely healed?" Fade asked coldly. "You... Wilton was incensed as he glared fiercely at Fade. He had an intense urge to beat Fade up at that moment. However, at the crucial moment, an elderly man beside Wilton grabbed hold of him and said, "Young Master Chung, don't be impulsive. It's Kaeran's wedding today." Wilton calmed down after hearing the elderly's man persuasion. Wilton snorted and told Fade, "You destroyed Ladarius and Marcello last time. Do you think Szeto Academy will let you go so easily?" "Does it have anything to do with you?" Fade responded indifferently. "You... Wilton's eyes bulged with anger upon hearing that. However, in the end, he still held back his anger. Turning around, he said through gritted teeth, "You can continue to be arrogant, but it'll be too late for you to cry later." After saying that, Wilton left with the old servant by his side. Fade continued to sit quietly and calmly in his original spot. After a while, another figure appeared in front of Fade. Looking up. Fade discovered that it was another acquaintance. It was Mr. Gentle, Gentro Luo, a guy who was as famous as Mr. Wild, Wilton, in Capital University. "Are you also here to threaten me?" Fade asked in an unfriendly tone. With a smile on his face, Gentro shook his head and replied, "Mr. Chen, you have misunderstood me. I'm different from Wilton. I have no malice against you." "Really? Then why are you here?" Fade asked coldly. Gentro replied, "I know that there's a conflict between you and Szeto Academy. Today, Master Szeto will personally preside over his disciple's marriage. I'm afraid that conflicts will inevitably arise as he has invited you here. "If you are willing, there will be a vacant seat on the Luo family's side. Mr. Chen, you can sit with us," Gentro said with a smile. Gentro's face was brimming with smiles. His tone was gentle and he gave one a good feeling when he spoke. This made one feel an involuntary sense of trust. However, from Fade's point of view, Gentro's objective was no different from Wilton's. Therefore, Fade said directly, "The Luo family will protect me? I bet you are here for Joey, right?" Hearing this, Gentro smiled but did not try to hide his intention. He nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, I know that you are Joey's senior. So, even if it's for Joey's sake, I would like to help you." "Besides, on the other hand, your medical skills are superb and you are a teacher at Capital University. The Luo family is also very willing to make friends with a talented person like you." One had to say that Gentro's words left a very good impression on people. He directly admitted that it was because of Joey. This gave you the impression that he was sincere, causing you to unconsciously want to trust this person. However, Fade still shook his head and said faintly, "I know what you mean, but I can settle the problem with Szeto Academy myself." Gentro slightly narrowed his eyes upon hearing Fade's words. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not. He just nodded and said, "If that's the case, I won't disturb you anymore. Of course, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time." Saying that, Gentro turned around and left gracefully. As time passed, more and more guests arrived at the manor as the sky turned completely dark. However, except for Wilton and Gentro, no one came to say hello to Fade. At eight o'clock at night, the noisy scene quietened down following the sound of drums. A middle-aged man in Szeto Academy's uniform walked out and announced, "Thank you all for your coming. Today is the wedding day of a Szeto Academy disciple, Hamlet Szeto and Miss Jasmine Zhuo." "The groom, Hamlet, is Master Szeto's esteemed disciple. Before the age of thirty, he reached the advanced stage of the Black Level. He is indeed a genius in cultivation." "The bride, Jasmine, is beautiful and generous. Hamlet and her are in love with each other. They are truly a match made in heaven and they are the perfect couple." Fade's eyes narrowed involuntarily when he heard the introduction about Jasmine. Most of the other guests were extremely unfamiliar with the bride's name. They were puzzled about Jasmine's background and how she managed to marry Hamlet. Amidst the sound of discussion, the wedding ceremony continued. The bride and groom, who were dressed in traditional clothing, strode out and immediately attracted everyone's attention Hamlet was a handsome 27-year-old youth with a tall and straight figure. Given his Advanced Stage Black Level martial arts strength, he immediately attracted the attention of all the people at the scene as soon as he came out. Many young women's eyes involuntarily fell on him. He was one of Kaeran's disciple, a young martial artist who had great achievements in cultivation. Combining this with his outstanding appearance, Hamlet had long since become the famous Prince Charming of Capital City. Amidst the sighs of admiration, Hamlet greeted everyone with a nod and a smile. Strolling beside Hamlet was a bride in a white gown. Everyone involuntarily exclaimed the moment they saw the bride. "Is this the bride? She's so beautiful. "No wonder Hamlet took a fancy to her. She's really extraordinary!" "How come we haven't heard of such a beauty before?" "I have actually heard that the bride, Jasmine, is just a freshman at Capital University" "What? A freshman? By marrying Hamlet, she has earned the golden ticket into the wealthy circle. She is going to climb up the social ladder now." In the midst of the discussions, Fade's gaze also naturally landed on the bride. Dressed in a white gown, the familiar face was none other than Jasmine's. Moreover, Jasmine had a unique aura around her that day, which made her look ethereal. She was extremely attractive at this moment. On campus, if you were to say that Joey's appearance was nine points or even ten points, then Jasmine's appearance was only eight points. However, at this moment, this unique aura on Jasmine had increased her overall charisma to nine points. She looked even more beautiful than usual. However, Fade couldn't help frowning upon feeling this unique charisma. He whispered to himself, "This aura is the spiritual energy of a cultivator. Furthermore, it's a special kind of spiritual energy" "When did Jasmine become a cultivator? Also, given the concentration level of the Spiritual energy in her body, her current level of cultivation seems close to the Black Level's early stage."
Chapter 1284 Seeing this, Fade frowned deeper and muttered to himself, "How is this possible? Jasmine has advanced from being a layman to an early stage Black Level martial artist in less than a week. This kind of speed is impossible!" While Fade was in doubt, the handsome Hamlet and the beautiful Jasmine walked to the center of the stage amidst the cheers and discussions of the crowd. Immediately, the parents of both sides came forward. Hamlet was Kaeran's beloved disciple. Naturally, his guardian was Kaeran, the principal of Szeto Academy. Kaeran was about 60 years old. That day, he was wearing a red vintage suit, which made him look very festive. However, the strong cultivation aura emitted from his body, giving him an invisible force of oppression. It made the guests at the scene involuntarily feel an inexplicable sense of awe towards him. Meanwhile, Jasmine's parents appeared. It was indeed Abbott Zhuo, Jasmine's father, whom Fade had met in the restaurant the last time. Abbott, who was in his forties, was dressed in luxury branded clothing, and had intentionally dressed himself up. However, the clothing could not hide how ordinary he was. It became particularly obvious when he was standing among these rich and powerful people of Capital City. Of course, Abbott did not care about these. Standing on the stage, he looked at Kaeran respectfully, even fawningly. He was about to kneel down as he greeted Kaeran, "My respects to you, Master Szeto." Kaeran waved his hand, signalling his men to hold Abbott and he said, "Mr. Zhuo, today is Hamlet and Jasmine's wedding day. Today, we become relatives, so there's no need to bow!" "Thank you, Master Szeto. Thank you!" Abbott quickly thanked Kaeran. When the guests saw this scene, they couldn't help but start talking about it. "Jasmine is actually not bad. It's just that her father is too low-class! He's definitely just an ordinary citizen, yet he's able to cling onto Szeto Academy. He's really lucky!" "You can't blame him for having a beautiful and good daughter. Alas, you can't envy him on this." "Anyway, the Zhuo family will definitely climb up the social ladder rapidly." In the midst of the discussions, Kaeran announced loudly, "Since all the distinguished guests have arrived, there's no need to waste any more time. Let's officially begin the wedding of Hamlet and Jasmine. "Yes! Someone immediately responded, then went off to prepare for the wedding ceremony. As Szeto Academy itself was a traditional Chinese clan, this wedding also adopted traditional Chinese etiquette. After all kinds of complicated formalities, Hamlet and Jasmine approached the front of Kaeran and Abbott, ready to perform the three kowtows ritual of the marriage ceremony. When Fade saw this, his eyes narrowed and the momentum in his body began to whirl within him. At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, Fade did not produce any movement as he wanted to see what the hell the other party was up to. However, now, the marriage ritual would be officially completed after the three kowtows. Fade couldn't wait any longer. "Kowtow to heaven and earth... The emcee shouted. Hamlet knelt down and began to kowtow to the heavens. Jasmine, on the other hand, stood frozen to the spot. For a moment, she did not move at all. Upon seeing this, Hamlet's eyes turned cold and his expression grew grim. Kaeran scoffed and looked at Abbott. A look of panic crossed Abbott's face. He hurriedly got up, came to Jasmine's side and whispered something into her ear. After hearing this, Jasmine's body swayed while she slowly bent her legs. She was about to kneel down. Just when Jasmine's knees were about to touch the ground, a firm voice rang out, "Jasmine, don't kneel." Hearing this voice, all the people at the scene couldn't help but be shocked. With curious looks on their faces, they swept their gazes around, trying to find the speaker. Jasmine's body trembled violently and her knees, which were about to kneel down, stood straight again. She muttered to herself, This voice, this is Fade's voice. How could Fade be here? This is impossible. Did I mishear it?" Thinking of this, Jasmine could not help but shake her head. However, there was a glint in her eyes. Just then, the crowd separated and the familiar and firm voice sounded again, "Jasmine, I'm here. When Jasmine heard the voice again, she turned her head and saw Fade's not so-tall figure walking out from the crowd. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she said, "Fade, you, why are you here?" While speaking, Jasmine instinctively spread her arms and almost dashed forward to hug Fade. However, at this moment, Hamlet stood up and coughed coldly. Abbott immediately snapped back to reality. Grabbing hold of Jasmine, he said persuasively, "Jasmine, what are you doing?" "Dad, I don't want to marry Hamlet. I don't like him and I'm not willing to... Jasmine said while her face was covered in tears. Abbott immediately anxious when he heard that. He glared at Jasmine with a pale face and said through gritted teeth, "Jasmine, shut up. Don't talk nonsense. It's your blessing to marry Hamlet. Don't think too much." At this moment, Hamlet's eyes also fell on Fade. Squinting his eyes, he looked at Fade with a probing attitude and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Abbott did not wait for Fade's reply and hurriedly replied, "His name is Fade Chen, and he's a teacher at Capital University. He taught Jasmine previously. I don't know why he's here. I'll chase him out right away." After which, Abbott strode over and glared at Fade. Clenching his teeth, he said, "I have already warned you before not to get close to my daughter. Now, get out of here. Do you hear me?" Fade glanced at Abbott and said coldly, "If you aren't Jasmine's father, you would be lying on the ground by now." "What did you say? I... Abbott said while clenching his fist. He was about to personally attack Fade. Fade snorted coldly and with a jolt of his body, he knocked Abbott straight to the ground. He then walked towards Hamlet and said, "I'm Fade Chen. I received an invitation to be a guest here." After saying that, Fade took out the invitation and threw it at Hamlet. Seeing the invitation, Hamlet frowned and asked, "Who invited you?" Before Fade could answer, a middle-aged woman in her fifties, in vintage style dressing, strode out and said, "I invited him." "Madam Lin, why did you..." Hamlet asked. Joanne Lin immediately looked at Fade with hatred and said, "He was the one who crippled Ladarius and Marcello some time ago." Upon hearing this, all the people from Szeto Academy understood. Joanne was Marcello's wife, while Ladarius was Marcello's beloved disciple. Both she and Marcello treated Ladarius like their own son.
Chapter 1285 Naturally, Joanne would hold a deep grudge against Fade since he had crippled her son and husband. Upon hearing this, Hamlet involuntarily frowned. With a displeased look on his face, he said to Joanne, " Madam Lin, that was just a trivial matter. We can find someone to get rid of him later. Why did you bring him to my wedding?" Of course, Joanne could not say that she did not have the confidence to defeat Fade. She could only resort to this method by borrowing the power of the Academy to avenge her husband. Hence, she could only stare at Fade silently and viciously. The atmosphere between Hamlet and Joanne was getting a little tense. Just at this moment, Kaeran said, "Madam Lin, we'll talk about Mr. Szeto's matter later. Let's continue with Hamlet's wedding first!" Since the principal of the academy had spoken in person, Joanne could only retreat at this moment, even though she was full of resentment. However, her extremely resentful gaze locked firmly on Fade.. Hamlet slightly relaxed his gaze upon seeing that, and he said to Jasmine, "Jasmine, let's continue with our wedding. Jasmine's whole body trembled slightly as she looked at Fade with teary eyes. She bit her lips so hard that a row of teeth marks appeared on her red lips. Meanwhile, someone from Szeto Academy forcefully pressed down on Jasmine's shoulder, trying to get her to kneel down and perform the kowtow ritual. However, Fade pushed his way through the crowd and came to Jasmine's side right at this moment. He thrust the person who was holding Jasmine down aside and helped her up. "Jasmine, I'm here," said Fade softly. Hearing that, the tear-stained Jasmine could no longer control her emotions. She plunged into Fade's arms and began to cry pitifully. Fade hugged Jasmine and patted her lightly on the back. "Jasmine, don't worry. I'm here. It'll be fine, he comforted her softly. Such a scene immediately left everyone present dumbstruck. They were almost stupefied. The sound of discussion started to reverberate again. "Wh-What's going on?" "This guy named Fade is actually here to ruin the wedding." "He is cuddling Hamlet's fiancée in front of him. This is getting a little too exciting." Haha, he is just digging his own grave. Now, not just Madam Lin will not let him " go, but Hamlet will also want to kill him." "He's just trying to curry favor with claptrap. How naive is he! Does he really think that the Academy will just let him leave after he caused such a fuss?" In the midst of the messy discussion, Wilton gnashed his teeth, with a taste for revenge etched at the corners of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fade, since you are playing with fire, wait for Szeto Academy to tear you to pieces!" Gentro, on the other hand, could not help frowning slightly upon seeing this. Shaking his head, he said, "Fade is too impulsive. I might be able to settle the problem if it's just Marcello and Ladarius." "Now, he has directly ruined Hamlet's wedding in front of so many people. This would be considered a huge offense to Szeto Academy. I'm afraid that even my father would not be able to turn the whole situation around now." Hamlet looked extremely ghastly amid the racket and discussions. He shot Fade a fierce glare, wanting to tear him into pieces. After all, he was the star disciple of Szeto Academy. However, his fiancée was behaving intimately with some other guy on their wedding day. This was certainly an outright humiliation for Hamlet. "Y-You, let go of Jasmine now!" Hamlet barked and strode towards Fade. Upon hearing this, the entire scene instantly quietened down. Jasmine's body couldn't help but tremble as a hint of fear flashed across her face. Fade gently patted her on the back and said softly, "Don't worry. Leave it to me." Then, Fade stepped forward, looked at Hamlet, and said in a deep voice, "Jasmine doesn't want to marry you." "Jasmine, it's not up to you to say whether you want to marry me or not," Hamlet said through gritted teeth. As soon as he finished speaking, Jasmine immediately mustered up her courage and said, "Hamlet, I don't like you. I don't want to marry you nor be your wife. This was undeniably another resounding humiliation for Hamlet. It made his expression become even darker, and his eyes were almost murderous. At this moment, Abbott, who had struggled to get up from the ground, rushed up towards Jasmine anxiously. Jasmine, stop spouting nonsense. Apologize to Hamlet immediately. Quick... He said hastily. "Dad, I really don't want to marry him. There's no love between us. Don't force me!" Jasmine said to her father as tears streamed down her cheeks. However, Abbott did not want to listen to these words at all. Instead, he said anxiously but furiously, "You're my daughter. Do you listen to me? Quickly come over now and complete the marriage ritual." "Dad, I... Jasmine did not expect her father to force her this way. With a tear streaked face, she was instantly at a loss for words. However, Fade let out a cold snort at this moment and roared at Abbott, "Get lost!" The billowing sound waves hit Abbott like a gust of fierce wind and sent him flying more than 20 meters out of the hall. Then, Fade looked at the crowd and said loudly, "You all heard it too. Jasmine has already said that she doesn't want to get married." Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked and began to talk about it among themselves again. "What's going on? I can't believe that Jasmine would actually be unwilling to marry Hamlet." "It looks like Jasmine has an affair with Fade!" "If I were her, I wouldn't have made such a stupid decision. She must be blind for choosing Fade instead of Hamlet." "He's digging his own grave. This is a route to his own grave." Hamlet was incensed. He balled his fist so tightly that they creaked. He wanted to kill Fade so badly. However, Kaeran stood up at this moment and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, she must get married!" Upon hearing this, Fade looked up at Kaeran and said coldly, "Must get married? Who the hell do you think you are to force Jasmine to get married?" Kaeran strode down and said in a deep voice, "Who the hell am I? Think of me as Jasmine's master. After saying that, Kaeran looked at Jasmine and asked, "Jasmine, have you forgotten everything I've taught and told you?" Jasmine's whole body trembled while a flustered and troubled expression appeared on her face. Biting her lips, she said, "Master, I-I didn't, I just... Fade was also somewhat flabbergasted at this moment. When he was having a meal with Jasmine at the restaurant before, Jasmine had mentioned that she had a master who had taught her Chinese medicine. That was also the reason why her medical skills were so outstanding. However, Fade had never expected the master whom Jasmine mentioned to actually be Kaeran, the principal of Szeto Academy. The other guests could not have thought of this either. They were all shocked and their faces were full of astonishment..
Chapter 1286 "Jasmine, is he the master who taught you Chinese medicine?" Fade asked. Jasmine nodded and replied, "That's him. It's just that I didn't know his identity either. I thought my master was just a doctor who travels all around." Fade nodded. He then looked at Kaeran and said coldly, "Even if you're Jasmine's master, you don't have the right to force her to marry someone she doesn't like." "Once she gets married, she'll like him." Kaeran said coldly. Furthermore, this is a marriage arranged for her by me. She has no choice but to accept it." After saying that, Kaeran took another step forward. He exuded an energy which enveloped Fade. Fade felt the pressure and his face turned cold, but he did not give in. He stepped forward and said in a cold voice, "What if we still refuse?" Kaeran snorted coldly and said, "Then you won't be able to walk out of here today." "Is that so?" Fade snorted coldly and wrapped his arm around Jasmine. He strode towards the door and said, "Then I'd like to see who would be able to stop me." As Fade moved, the guests around him couldn't help but separate. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.. With his eyes full of excitement and the thrill of revenge, Wilton said in a low voice, "Keep moving towards death. If you take any more steps forward, people from Szeto Academy will definitely tear you into pieces. Gentro frowned and his expression was hesitant, "This is bad. There might be no way out of this." Right then, Kaeran's eyes were fixed on Fade. As Fade took the first step, his gaze became hostile. He waved his hand and shouted, "Stop them." In an instant, with a loud crash, dozens of people from Szeto Academy rushed out and surrounded Fade and Jasmine. Joanne's expression was full of resentment. At that moment, she could not help but step forward and said, "Let me kill him. I want to avenge my husband and my disciples. As she spoke, Joanne's energy surged. With a terrifying hatred, she was about to attack Fade. At the same time, Hamlet took a step forward and said through his gritted teeth, "Let me do it. I want his blood on my hands. Seeing this, Joanne stopped and her face darkened. She was unwilling to give up, but when she saw Kaeran nodding his head, she had no choice but to step aside. However, there was still a sense of dissatisfaction on her face. She said to Hamlet, "You'd better be careful when dealing with him. My husband, Marcello, and disciple Ladarius met their ends because of him. I'm afraid that his strength might be at the pinnacle of the Black Level!" Since Marcello was a martial artist at the pinnacle of the Black Level, Joanne's assumption was reasonable. Although Hamlet was the personal disciple of the Guardian, he was still young. His current strength was only at the advanced stage of the Black Level. That was why she reminded him at such a crucial time. However, Hamlet was so angry that he ignored Joanne's advice. Instead, he said, "Don't compare me to those trash. They can't compare with me in terms of actual strength." Upon hearing this, Joanne was so furious that her face turned stiff. Her expression was extremely unpleasant and she could not resist the urge to make a move. However, Kaeran shot her a warning look just in time, so Joanne had to let go. Although she and her husband were both Elders of Szeto Academy, their status was still lower than that of Hamlet, who was a personal disciple. It was really pitiful. Joanne was in a dilemma. She hated Fade and hoped that he would be defeated. However, she didn't like Hamlet, so she didn't want him to win either. In that instant, there was an energy explosion from Hamlet as he strode towards Fade with red eyes. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Fade, come and meet your death!" The energy hit like crashing waves. It caused many people to suffocate with their faces turning ghastly pale. They all looked surprised. In an instant, murmurs and gossip could be heard. "Hamlet's energy is too strong. It's too powerful. Is this the power of the advanced stage of Black Level?" "Hamlet's Black Level is not any ordinary advanced stage. He is the personal disciple of Kaeran, and his combat ability is no less than that of a master at the pinnacle of the Black Level. "Really? Fade is dead for sure." "That goes without saying. Of course he is." "The question now is how long Fade can hold out in Hamlet's hands." In the midst of the gossip, Hamlet's rage and killing intent almost reached its peak. When he was only ten meters away from Fade, Hamlet suddenly roared. He was like a hungry tiger, barrelling towards Fade with a terrifying and aggressive force. The great vitality burst with a roar. It was like a tiger's sharp claws, tearing through the air and clawing fiercely at Fade's chest. If he was hit, it would cause damage to his organs. Fade's whole body might even be torn apart. Seeing such a terrifying energy, the influential officials of Capital City all gaped in astonishment. At the same time, their hearts began to yearn for power. Many of them began to realize that, after the incident, no matter how much money they would have to spend, they had to hire a powerful martial artist to protect them. "Go to hell!" Hamlet's face was full of bloodthirst and he rushed forward, wanting to kill Fade. There was a blade of energy which was so fierce that it could tear everything apart and it was less than a meter away from Fade. In a blink of an eye, it was about to rip Fade apart. However, at that moment, Fade, who was facing such a horrific attack, looked calm, as if he did not even notice the fierce killing move in front of him. "He's dead for sure!" The same thought was in everyone's mind. Fade looked upwards and glanced at Hamlet who was rushing towards him. He smiled slightly and said coldly, "You're so weak, yet you want to kill me?" "Get lost!" Fade gave a cold snort and gently pushed forward with his right hand towards Hamlet's attack. It was a light and single hit from him. In an instant, strong energy surged, immediately shattering Hamlet's aggressive force. The tremendous power made Hamlet fly backward. He flew through the air and finally slammed into a column in the big hall. With a loud thud, he fell to the ground. Hamlet, who had fallen to the ground, gagged and spat out mouthful of blood. His face suddenly turned pale and he almost collapsed. Obviously, he was injured severely. There was an immediate silence at the scene. Everyone was stunned and their eyes were full of surprise.
Chapter 1287 No one had thought that it would be such an outcome The battle between the two ended with Fade defeating Hamlet with just a palm Hamlet was Master Szetos favorite disciple and also at the advanced stage of the Black Level Among the younger generation of the martial artists in Capital fi City he was quite famous Unfortunately he was defeated by Fade so easily it was really beyond everyone's expectations a It took a few seconds for the people to come to their senses. The people of Szeto Academy rushed forward and helped Hamlet up. seash The other guests were all in a heated discussion. The entire place was bustling with noise and excitement Kaeran, who had been extremely confident earlier, looked sullen at that moment Squinting his eyes, he glanced at Fade and was about to move forward. At the same time, Joanne, who had just recovered from her shock, took a stop forward and said, "Principal, let me do this Kaeran looked at Joanne and nodded, "Alrignt. People from Szeto Academy must teach him a lesson. Those words were harsh it looked like Kaeran was fuming. He wanted to teach fade a great lesson Joanne stepped out and glanced at Fade. Then she tumed back and said to Kaeran, Principal, I would request that the three elders do it together As she spoke, another two elders walked out and stood beside Joanne. They were as strong as Joanne and they had all achieved the pinnacle of the Black Level Joanne requested for the three elders to act together. It was beyond everyone's After all, Hamlet may have been defeated, but as a clan elder, she was not only battling with a jurnor but also calling for additional support If words got out, even if Szeto Academy won it would have a negative impact on their reputation . The buzz among the guests became more obvious. But at that moment, Joanne was calm while her face was full of resentment. She glared at Fade, intent for revenge. She did not care what the outside world thought of her, nor did she care about her reputation. The only thing she wanted to do was to get rid of Fade and avenge her husband and disciple. She was clearly aware of her strength that was almost similar to Marcello who had been defeated by Fade. If she fought against him alone, she would very likely be defeated too. Therefore, she couldn't care about anything else. She called out two elders whom she had quite a good relationship with to attack Fade together. It was undoubtedly the safest method. On the other hand, Jasmine was shocked and looked at Fade who had just defeated Hamlet, with even more curiosity. However, her curiosity didn't last long. When she heard that the three elders were going to attack Fade together, she couldn't help but show a worried expression. Fade was quite calm. He glanced at Joanne and the other two elders and said with a sneer, "Three elders have joined forces to attack me. Isn't Szeto Academy being too open about this?" His sarcasm made many students of Szeto Academy look bad, but they couldn't say anything to refute him. After all, it was the truth. Kaeran didn't look too pleased either. After a moment's hesitation, he said coldly, "This isn't a one-on-one battle. This is because you have caused trouble, so Szeto Academy is going to catch you for it." Before Fade could say anything, Kaeran looked at Joanne and waved his hand, "Take him down! "Yes!" Joanne responded and moved with the other two elders. The energy of three martial artists who were at the pinnacle of the Black Level, shook the entire hall in an instant. The air burst with explosive sounds and the entire atmosphere became heavy and tense. The energy of the three Black Level experts caused so much pressure that many people present felt suffocated. They kept stepping backwards and even rushed out of the hall. At that moment, Joanne's moves were hostile. From the moment she started, her strength was explosive. She pounced on Fade fiercely with frightening bloodthirst. The three of them joined forces and blocked all of Fade's escape routes. They attacked him aggressively. "Bang, bang bang There were three explosions in the air. The energy which they exuded was like an air cannon, roaring incessantly. "Go to hell!" Joanne gritted her teeth, resentment filling her eyes. On the stage, Kaeran's face looked cold and he watched the scene quietly. The guests took cover while shivering with fear. They watched the battle with amazement and curiosity. "It's too terrifying. This kind of energy is even more powerful than Hamlet's. "Of course! Three elders who are at the pinnacle of the Black Level, attacked together. Of course they're much more powerful than Hamlet, who's at the advanced stage of the Black Level!" "This time, Fade will be doomed." "This guy is too arrogant. Honestly, with his age and capability, he is pretty good. If he is enrolled into Szeto Academy, he might even become a personal disciple. However, he doesn't know that by going against Szeto Academy and taking away Hamlet's bride, he's asking for death." "Now that it has come to this, the end result is clear." In the midst of the discussion, Wilton, who was stunned, gritted his teeth and he looked gloomy, "Fade, let's see what you are capable of this time. How can you fight back against three elders? Go to hell!" On the other hand, when Gentro saw what was going on, he frowned and said, "Fade is in danger this time. He's powerful, but he's too arrogant. He doesn't know how to back off. It's dangerous." "If Fade died in front of me, it would make no difference to me, but if Joey knows about this, she might blame me Gentro's heart was moved and he faltered forward. However, at that moment, the old servant behind him quickly pulled Gentro back and persuaded him, "Young Master Luo, it's not the time to be impulsive. You can't interfere in this kind of matter." "But..." Gentro looked a little troubled. The old servant explained, "If it is just the beginning of the conflict, the Luo family would still be able to intervene and solve it, but now, it's a big issue. Not to mention Ladarius and Marcello before, but now it even involves Hamlet. The animosity between Fade and Szeto Academy is too great and it's impossible to fix it anymore. Now, the Luo family has no way to intervene." "I know this, but Joey..." Gentro sighed. The old servant did not continue, only holding Gentro's hand tightly and not allowing him to move. Meanwhile, Joanne and the two elders were right in front of Fade attacking him aggressively.
Chapter 1288 Facing such a terrifying attack, almost everyone thought that Fade had no way to fight back. In the end, it was just a matter of being injured heavily, or death. However, at the last moment, just like in the previous battle, Fade's face was still calm. He raised his right hand again and hit outward. Looking at the situation, the crowd was excited and surprised at the same time, "What's going on? He's still using that move?" "Now, there are three elders. It's not just Hamlet. Is he stupid? It won't work." "It looks like he's left with only one move. He's beating a dead horse." Amidst the chaotic and skeptical discussions, Fade swiftly hit three times with his right hand.. Three loud explosions could be heard; they happened while the people were still in shock. The three elders flew through the air, suddenly twitched and let out screams. They soon fell to the ground with a loud thud, with blood spurting out everywhere. "This, this... How is this possible?" At that moment, everyone was having the same thought. "What's going on? Joanne and the other two were defeated as well." "Moreover, it was with a single palm. They were defeated with just one palm. This is impossible!" "How strong is Fade?" Fade withdrew his hand and put it behind his back. He looked at Joanne and the other two and said coldly, "You've lost. After that, Fade shifted his gaze and looked at Kaeran on the stage with a grim expression. "Do you want to continue?" Kaeran was silent for a while. His expression froze as if it had been covered with a layer of ice. In the midst of the silence, Joanne, who had been hit, struggled to her feet. With a dagger in her hand that glowed with a faint blue light, she attacked Fade fiercely. "You killed my husband. I'm going to kill you..." The sudden sneak attack really surprised everyone. After all, Szeto Academy was a famous martial arts academy in the Capital City. Were the elders of the academy so dishonourable to pull a sneak attack? If the news of it spread, Szeto Academy's reputation would be greatly affected. Even Kaeran was shocked at that moment. He shouted, "Joanne, stop!" After all, the three elders' joint attack earlier could be explained as a necessary measure to deal with a troublemaker, but a sneak attack had gone overboard. However, Joanne's heart, which was eager for revenge, was completely filled with hatred and there was no space for anything else. Her only thought was to kill Fade to avenge her husband and disciple. Therefore, she didn't listen to Kaeran's order. Instead, she took the poison covered dagger and rushed towards Fade's back. The distance between the two of them was no more than 10 meters, but for a martial artist like Joanne who was at the pinnacle of the Black Level, it was just a short gap. Almost everyone saw what was happening. She was already behind Fade. The sharp dagger glimmering with poison was about to stab into Fade's heart from behind him. However, at that critical moment, Fade turned his head and looked at Joanne. When he saw the hatred in her eyes, he shook his head and said coldly, "I have given you a chance, but if you want to die, then don't blame me. Fade's eyes widened and a stream of fiery red light flashed across them. "Blazing Vision!" The fiery red light in his eyes transformed into a fiery lotus and flew into Joanne's eyes. Immediately, Joanne, whose face was full of resentment, stopped abruptly at the very last moment. She stood still where she was and looked at Fade in astonishment with her scarlet eyes. Everyone still didn't know what was going on. They were full of curiosity. "What's wrong? Why did Joanne suddenly stop?" "Did she change her mind?" "Did Fade do something?" Just as everyone was confused, Joanne suddenly let out a painful shriek as she covered her scarlet eyes with both hands. The people saw something extremely horrifying. Two lotus-like balls of fire suddenly appeared in Joanne's scarlet eyes. The fire was burning rapidly, scorching her eyes and leaving only two black holes. The two balls of flames then entered Joanne's body through the holes in her eyes and she was burned to ashes. In just a few seconds, there was only half of Joanne's head left. Kaeran, who had the fastest reaction, quickly released his energy to suppress the flames from continuing to spread. However, at that moment, Joanne's head had nearly turned into a pile of ashes. Her body fell to the ground and there was not a single breath left. The powerful guests had never seen such a horrifying scene, and it happened right in front of their own eyes. All of a sudden, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they trembled. Some of them even collapsed and vomited. Some were scared out of their wits and they fainted. Wilton, who was in the crowd, was trembling all over. He gritted his teeth earlier in anger but his face was full of horror at that moment. He kept moving backwards and started to hide himself among the crowd, worrying that Fade would spot him, " How, how is this possible? This, this is too.... On the other hand, Gentro's condition was a little better, but his face was horribly pale. He gave Fade a surprised and puzzled look, "Joey's senior is so powerful. Where on earth does he come from?" The old servant at Gentro's side had a serious look. He whispered to Gentro, "Young Master Luo, Fade's strength is far beyond my expectations. His background is not ordinary. Joey is his junior, so her background is not ordinary either. From now on, you must not contact Joey too often." "But... Gentro still wanted to say something, but after a pause, he nodded and said, "I understand." At that instant, the shocked Kaeran looked at Joanne's corpse, and his eyes were horribly gloomy. He looked at Fade, gritted his teeth and said, "You killed my Szeto Academy people!" Fade said indifferently, "She deserved to die!" "Whether or not she deserved to die is not up to you to decide! She's an elder of Szeto Academy" Kaeran shouted harshly. Fade did not back off and said coldly, "Those who threaten me deserve to die. If you don't believe me, you can try." "How dare you!" As the disciples of Szeto Academy shouted one after another, each of them pulled out their weapons and glared at Fade in anger, as if they were going to attack him. Looking at the situation, Fade glanced at them and said with a snort, "What's the matter? The sneak attack didn't work, so now you're going to try and surround me?" "Go ahead. Wait for the end outcome of your Szeto Academy. There is only one and that is total destruction." Fade said coldly.
Chapter 1289 "You're asking for death!" "How dare you!" "Kill him!" Over a hundred disciples of Szeto Academy roared angrily and glared at Fade with resentment in their eyes. Kaeran's expression was cold. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his right hand to stop the raging disciples. Then, he looked at Fade with a stern gaze and said, "Today, it is you who has ruined my disciple's wedding and snatched his bride away for no reason. Now, you've killed a person from Szeto Academy. Do you realize that you will suffer the wrath of the entire martial arts community in Capital City?" Fade sneered and said, "The entire martial arts community of Capital City? Does Szeto Academy represent the entire community?" "You might say I'm insolent. Even if that's true, so what? If anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill them!" Fade shouted furiously, with a violent and domineering aura, which stunned everyone in the hall and rendered them speechless. In the eyes of the public, Fade, who was originally thin and weak, seemed to have become so tall and big that everyone had to raise their heads and look up at him. Upon hearing his remarks, Kaeran was enraged. His body shook and a terrifying pressure spread towards Fade, "Arrogant brat, I'll show you what the real power of Szeto Academy is." In an instant, there was a loud explosion followed by an invisible shockwave spreading out from Kaeran's center. The ornaments in the hall were shattered by the impact and they smashed to pieces. Kaeran seemed to have transformed into a different person. His energy was like that of a legendary giant deity. With heavy footsteps, he exerted pressure on Fade, one step at a time. "Kneel!" Kaeran roared at Fade. The sound waves were solid. They were like a storm and shattered the ground around Fade, forming a big hole. At the sight of such a scene, the guests were extremely shocked and they were frightened to the point where their hearts raced. "Kaeran is not just a master at the Earth Level, but also master at the middle stage of the Earth Level. He's a top master in the martial arts world!" "This time, Fade won't be a match for Master Szeto!" While facing the terrifying pressure, Fade stood where he was. He frowned slightly and said, "Middle stage of the Earth Level! Your strength isn't too bad!" "You arrogant brat, go to hell!" Kaeran shouted angrily. A long sword came out of his long-sleeved robe. The virtual sword whistled and its ferocious energy was like countless sharp blades, piercing through the air and showering down like rain, completely enveloping Fade. "Thousand Swords Rain!" With ice-cold killing intent in his eyes, Kaeran seemed to have seen Fade being stabbed through the heart by the swords' energy. The horrible attack shocked everyone on the spot and left everyone speechlessness. Although they were powerful people in the Capital City, it was a rare occasion to see a master at the middle stage of the Earth Level attack with all his might. Fade had no way to retreat in the face of this deadly rain of swords. There was no room for him to dodge at all. He was almost forced to a dead end. Jasmine's face turned pale at that moment and she shouted, "No, Master! Don' t...I'm willing to marry Hamlet, I... However, Kaeran's face was like ice. He said coldly, "It's too late to agree now. He has offended Szeto Academy, so he must pay the price. "Master, I beg you, I... Jasmine was about to kneel before Kaeran and beg for mercy, However, Fade gently waved his hand and helped Jasmine up, saying, "There's no need to beg him. Trust me, it's alright." Fade then looked at the virtual swords above him and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "The Thousand Swords Rain is really quite interesting" "Ever since I had a battle with Titan, I haven't been moving around a lot. Now, this is quite interesting. In that case, let me train with you today." "Arrogant! Nonsense!" Kaeran roared and turned his palm over. His energy consolidated and erupted continuously, attacking Fade repeatedly and aggressively. At that moment, when Fade was facing the murderous swords, he finally made his move. As he clapped his hands, energy consolidated and turned into a wave, slamming towards the rain of swords. In an instant, it was like the heavy rain of swords met the raging waves of the sea. The swords were slammed down by the raging waves and were instantly drowned without a trace. The outcome was really beyond Kaeran's expectations. He was shocked and said, "How could it... Before he could react, Fade made his move again. He moved like lightning, leaving behind his after-image and he created a strange arc in an instant. He dodged Kaeran's continuous attacks and rushed towards him. "This, this technique, this speed... Seeing Fade's movement, Kaeran's heart suddenly thumped as he had a bad premonition. However, before he could react, a cold volce sounded behind him, "You're dead!" Kaeran turned pale with fright and quickly turned around. At the same time, he reached out, wanting to hit Fade while trying to dodge his attack. However, Fade moved even faster. He gathered his energy in his palms, which carried a horrifying pressure. His energy condensed and slammed onto Kaeran's skull with a loud bang. It was like a heavy boulder falling from the sky, making Kaeran freeze in place. He could only watch the attack approaching him. Seeing that death was approaching, Kaeran couldn't be bothered. He quickly shouted, "No, I admit defeat. yield. "This is not a competition. It's useless for you to admit defeat!" Fade said coldly and continued to attack. Kaeran's face turned pale with fright. Just as he was about to die, he suddenly saw Jasmine and shouted, "Jasmine, I'm your master! I've taught you so many things. Do you really want to kill me? I'm your master..." At that moment, Abbott had returned to Jasmine's side and advised, "Jasmine, that's your master! He was so good to you. How could you kill your own master?" Jasmine's eyes were instantly filled with conflict as she looked at Fade. "Fade, Fade's movement came to a halt when he saw this. He looked at Jasmine and asked, "Jasmine, what do you think?" "Fade, I, I don't know either. It's just that... Jasmine was coherently. It was too difficult for a twenty-year-old girl like her. unable to speak At that point, Fade's palm which was above Kaeran's head, was like the grim reaper's scythe, ready to fall at any time and take away Kaeran's life.
Chapter 1290 The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a moment. It was as if time and space had frozen. Everyone's gaze was fixed on Jasmine. Kaeran was also looking at her nervously. He would never have imagined that his life would actually be determined by what his disciple, Jasmine, would say. "Jasmine, I'm your master. I've taught you..." He wanted to persuade Jasmine. However, as soon as he spoke, Fade instantly snorted and interrupted Kaeran, "Shut up." On the other side, Abbott also wanted to persuade her. When Fade's cold gaze swept over him, he immediately retracted his words and did not dare to speak. Jasmine was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a while, her eyes twinkled. Then she raised her head, looked at Kaeran and said, "On my journey in learning Chinese medicine, you are my master and have indeed taught me a lot of things. In any case, I should thank you." Hearing this, Kaeran looked excited. He quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, that's right." However, Jasmine changed her tone and said, "On the other hand, can't forgive you for forcing me to marry Hamlet." "This, about this... Kaeran's expression became nervous when he heard this. He quickly explained, "I did that for your own good. Your father and I want to.... Abbott hastily said, "Hamlet is Kaeran's favorite disciple, a famous martial artist from the younger generation of Capital City. It's an honor to marry him. How can you hate your master for it?" Jasmine frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with status. I'm not close to Hamlet and don't have any feelings for him. I don't want to marry someone I don't like, let alone be forced into it. Speaking about it, Jasmine's expression became a little emotional. "We're really doing this for your own good! Once you're older, you'll know the benefits of choosing Hamlet. We... Abbott wanted to persuade her further. However, when he saw Jasmine's expression turning colder, Kaeran quickly gave him a look that made him shut his mouth. He then said, "It is true that we have been too hasty and did not consider your feelings. Now that your father and I have understood your intentions, of course we will not force you." "Really? Jasmine looked at the two of them. "Of course. I'll announce the cancellation of the wedding immediately. I won't interfere with your relationships again. Kaeran quickly nodded and hinted at Abbott.. Abbott quickly nodded and said to Jasmine, "From now on, your marriage will be entirely up to you." "This..." A smile appeared on Jasmine's face when she heard it. She pondered for a moment before raising her head to look at Fade, "Mr. Chen, if that's the case, then I'm satisfied. So they... Kaeran and Abbott's expressions were both excited and emotional. It was obvious that Jasmine had been moved by their words. It was because she cared about them, so she wanted to let them go. Fade understood what Jasmine meant. He nodded and said, "If you think it's appropriate to let them go, then I will do as you ask "Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Jasmine said with a nod. Kaeran was extremely excited. He looked at Fade's palm, which was as heavy as a mountain over his head, while he tried to break free. Just as Fade's palm was about to move away, Fade suddenly stopped. He thought of something and said, "Wait a minute. Before I let you go, I have a question." Kaeran trembled, but he still nodded and replied, "Mr. Chen, you may ask! As long as I know the answer, I will tell you everything." Fade glanced at Jasmine and asked calmly, "Where did you bring her and what did you do to her after she left the university?" "This..." Hearing the question, Kaeran's expression changed and became a bit strange as he spoke incoherently. "If you don't tell me, you'll die," Fade shouted coldly. Kaeran was so scared that he started shivering. He said slowly, "We brought Jasmine back to Szeto Academy to prepare for her wedding to Hamlet." "Then why did you withdraw her from school?" Fade asked. "Because we were going to let Jasmine learn in Szeto Academy. That's why we withdrew her from the school." Kaeran explained. Fade continued to ask, "Did you get Jasmine's consent for this?" "This, this... Kaeran's expression turned unpleasant. For a moment, he was unable to answer.
