Chapter 121
When Caesar Du heard what he said, he could not help but shout angrily, “Donny, shut up if you don’t understand. Brother Fade is not someone you can simply offend!”
“Woah, Brother Fade!” Donny Liang said sarcastically, “Caesar, I think you’re getting worse. How ridiculous it is to call a kid brother and bring him as your teacher!”
“Donny Liang, are you looking for a fight?” Caesar Du suddenly stood up, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.
At this time, an old man with a crutch beside him persuaded, “Caesar, we are here to see the treasure. Don’t hurt the harmony for something irrelevant. The treasure is more important.”
Then, the old man looked at Donny Liang and said, “You’re right. It’s meaningless to argue with each other. Stop this argument now.”
Donny Liang and Ceasar Du glared at each other and then sat down with a snort.
Then, Ceasar Du explained in a low voice in Fade Chen’s ear. Mr. Hu, the old man in the crutch, was the president of the local Antique Association in Bay City. His seniority was very high and his speech was not treated lightly. The news of this treasure was first known by him, and then it reached Caesar Du’s ears.
Mr. Hu looked around and saw that all the bidders were here. He stood up and said, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin. Mr. Yuan, please bring it out!”
Then, a farmer-like man dressed in plain clothes walked out with a red cloth bag in his arms.
He looked around the people in the room. There was vigilance in his eyes. His eyes flickered, and he seemed to be a little scared.
Seeing this, Mr. Hu smiled and said, “Mr. Yuan, it’s not the first time for us to meet each other. These are all the people in the association. The credibility is good. Don’t worry. As long as it’s good stuff, we will definitely give you your money.”
“Really? Don’t lie to me. I am a farmer and don’t understand your tricks. I just want to sell it for money.” Mr. Yuan, the old farmer said while still holding the red cloth bag tightly in his hands.
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile. Someone persuaded the old farmer to rest assure, and someone showed his identity and said that he would not lie.
Donny Liang, on the other hand, acted more directly at the moment. He took out two stacks of money and threw them in front of Mr. Yuan. He sneered and said, “All of us have at least hundreds of thousands of money. How could we lie to you? What a joke.”
“This twenty thousand yuan is my deposit. Later, if I buy it from you, I will deduct twenty thousand yuan at the price. If don’t buy it, the money will belong to you,” Donny Liang said impatiently.
Although Donny Liang’s attitude was a little bad, but the money was real. Immediately, the old farmer relaxed his vigilance and put the money into his arms with a smile. Then, he placed the bag on the table. Under everyone’s attention, he carefully opened the red cloth.
For a moment, everyone looked over and saw a palm-sized Buddha statue in the red cloth.
The whole body of the statue was carved out of stone, with some flaws on its surface and even some cracks. There were some soil and moss inside, which seemed to have been dug out not long ago.
The lines of the stone Buddha were rough, and the carving skills were not very good. It seemed to be worthless. But at this moment, when everyone walked to the side of the stone Buddha, they felt a refreshing breath coming in. After taking a breath, they seemed to feel light-hearted.
“This is some good stuff!” The boss’s eyes lit up and his face was full of expectation.
“Master Qin, what do you think of this?” Although Mr. Hu was the president of the Antique Association, he still needed a professional to identify these antiques. So, he turned to an old man in a Taoist robe beside him and asked for advice. Obviously, the man was the stone and gems specialist that Mr. Hu brought along.
“This is a good thing. I’ll have it.” Donny Liang shouted casually and provocatively looked at Ceasar Du.
Ceasar Du glared at Donny Liang. He wanted to say directly that he was determined to compete with Donny Liang. But when he thought of Fade Chen who sat next to him, he turned his head and asked in a low voice, “Brother Fade, what do you think about this?”
Fade Chen thought for a moment. When he looked at the stone Buddha for the first time, he was shocked. Because there was a stream of Spiritual Qi on the stone Buddha, he thought that it was a rare treasure.
But after careful observation, Fade Chen immediately realized something fishy. The Spiritual Qi on the stone Buddha was not fake, but the material and age of this stone Buddha was very ordinary.
Generally speaking, the Spiritual Qi on a stone Buddha could only be achieved after many years of cultivation by a Taoist master. However, the stone Buddha itself was less than five years old, so it could not be a treasure raised by a Taoist master.
However, the Spiritual Qi on the stone Buddha was real. There was only one explanation. Someone tainted the ordinary stone Buddha with a layer of Spiritual Qi on it.
When it was first tainted, this layer of Spiritual Qi was obvious and the effect will be good. But after some time, the Spiritual Qi would dissipate. After all, the stone Buddha was not raised by a Taoist Master. At that time, the stone Buddha would become an ordinary stone statue without any special effect.
In such a situation, Fade Chen could almost be sure that this thing was completely a fake, a scam made by someone deliberately. However, this scam was a little unusual. After all, Spiritual Qi could not be made by ordinary people. Mr. Yuan, who looked like an old farmer, was at most an experienced cheater. It was impossible for him to produce Spiritual Qi.
That meant that Mr. Yuan had companions, and there was a master, who could stain the stone Buddha with a layer of Spiritual Qi.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen could not help but be a little alert. He glanced at everyone.
At this moment, seeing that Fade Chen did not speak for a long time, Caesar Du couldn’t help asking, “Brother Fade, what did you see?”
Before Fade Chen could speak, Donny Liang sneered, “He’s just an ordinary man, what can he see?”
“If the boy can list down all the dynasties in ancient times, he is already good enough. Let alone to identify antique treasures. Haha!” Donny Liang said cockily.
Hearing this, Ceasar Du’s face darkened, he was furious and wanted to refute Donny Liang.
Fade Chen patted Caesar Du’s shoulder gently and said blandly, “Don’t be agitated. I’ll explain later.”
After seeing Fade Chen’s strength, Caesar Du had great trust in Fade Chen. He immediately nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, Donny Liang sneered and said, “Caesar is too soft. Is there anyone else who wants to see? If not, I will bid down this good thing. I am determined to get it!”
Mr. Hu chuckled, knocked on the crutch and said, “Donny, have some patience. Since everyone is here, let’s give all of you a chance to look at it first.”
After that, Mr. Hu twisted his body and looked at the old man in the Taoist robe next to him. He said politely, “Master Qin, please!”.
Chapter 122
As soon as Mr. Hu finished speaking, Master Qin nodded and walk over.
Master Qin wore a wide bright yellow Taoist robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. His hair was combed into a bun on top of his head. With a white beard, he looked like an immortal.
Master Qin first circled around the stone Buddha a few times, and then he stopped in front of it. Holding the horsetail whisk in his right hand, he gently brushed it over the stone Buddha and took out a piece of rune paper with his left hand. He breathed out a breath, lit the rune paper, and turned around the stone Buddha several times.
Suddenly, the bright yellow flame on the rune paper became fierce as it approached the stone Buddha. The flame turned green and instantly burned up the rune paper.
"This is a precious stone!" Master Qin's eyes lit up and he shouted with excitement.
At this moment, the rich people who were in the auction saw this and their eyes were shining. They were surprised and excited to see this magical scene of Master Qin, and they couldn't help but praise him.
Mr. Hu saw this and knocked on the crutch with a smile. He said with a proud look on his face.
"Master Qin was an expert I specially invited from the temple. Master Qin has been cultivating in the temple for more than 30 years and is famous for his geomancy. In recent years, Master Qin has cast out evil spirits and opened the altar to pray. All of these are efficacious. You can be called a master!"
When the rich people heard this, they couldn't help but nod. On one hand, they respected Mr. Hu's words, and on the other hand, Master Qin did perform well just now, which surprised them a lot.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became passionate. Some rich people were ready to compete and bid for the treasures.
But at this time, Donny Liang, who was sitting on the chair, sneered and said with disdain, "Mr. Hu, I respect you very much. But it's ridiculous for me to trust so-called Master Qin."
Mr. Hu didn't expect that Donny Liang would say so. His face darkened and he said unhappily, "Donny, why would you say that?"
Donny Liang snorted, glanced disdainfully at Master Qin, and then said scornfully, "Not everyone is qualified to be called a master."
No matter how well-mannered Master Qin was, he couldn't help but be angry at the moment. He glared at Donny Liang and shouted, "Boy, you said that I am not qualified to be a master, but who do you think you are?"
Donny Liang laughed and said, "Since I did not learn any of this, of course, I am not a master. It's just that you are not strong enough and no skills in this, but you pretend to be a master. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"I'm not strong enough?" Master Qin was so angry that his face turned red. "I don't know which master is Mr. Liang referring to, please invite him here so I can have a look at him!"
Donny Liang waved his hand and turned to look at the old man in a traditional Chinese suit behind him, saying, "Thank you, Master Xie."
Hearing the sound, the old man who was closing his eyes beside Donny Liang stood up and raised his eyelids. When he opened his eyes, there was a glimmer of light.
Seeing this, Master Qin's face changed and he took a few steps back.
Master Xie glanced at Master Qin and said slowly. "Is it you who call yourself a master?"
Master Qin stabilized himself and said, "So what if it's me?" "You are not qualified!" Master Xie sneered. Before Master Qin could speak, Master Xie pointed at the stone Buddha and asked, "If you call yourself a master, I will ask you a few questions."
"Just ask away!" Master Qin shook his robe, raised his head slightly, and looked angry. Obviously, he wanted to regain his dignity.
Master Xie paused and asked, "What's so special about this stone Buddha?"
Hearing this, Master Qin's face lit up with delight and said, "The stone Buddha has spirituality. I think it is a treasure that has been nurtured by the powerful monk for many years. It has the effect of health-preserving, vigorous, and refreshing. It has a great effect on human's physical and mental health."
After listening to Master Qin's words, many rich people's eyes lit up and they became more excited.
But at this moment, when Master Xie heard this, he sneered and said, "If it's just the function of keeping health and strengthening the body and waking up the mind. I'd rather buy some health products to consume. What's the use of this stone Buddha?"
"You.." Master Qin pointed at Master Xie angrily. "You're being unreasonable."
"I'm being unreasonable?" Master Xie sneered and suddenly changed his expression. "That's because you don't know what is the stone Buddha true specialty. You can't see the real strength of this stone Buddha."
"The real strength of this stone Buddha?" Everyone was curious and looked at Master Xie.
Master Xie quickly walked to the side of the stone Buddha and stared at it. Suddenly, he shouted, and his hands changed rapidly. He pinched out several incantations, and a white breath spurted out of his palm, directly gushing into the stone Buddha.
Suddenly, the stone Buddha on the table buzzed and vibrated. A layer of golden light suddenly emitted from the surface of the stone Buddha. In the light, one could faintly see the solemn Buddha statue, the flying of a heavenly woman, and the roars of auspicious beasts.
For a moment, everyone felt that the room seemed to be lit up, and the sound of Buddha was loud in their ears. They were shocked as if they had been cleansed by Buddhism and their hearts became ethereal and solemn.
"This, this is." Seeing this, everyone's face changed dramatically and looked at the Buddha statue in disbelief.
Master Qin's expression changed as well. He exclaimed in surprise, "This is a Buddha treasure!"
Master Xie smiled and said, "You know the Buddha treasure? You're not completely a waste then."
After that, Master Xie's shouted, "But, more than that! There are even more powerful things in it!"
"Something more powerful?" Everyone was surprised and curious. They all stared intently at the stone Buddha and Master Xie.
"Give it to me!" Master Xie waved his hand, and a servant came over with an old hen in his hand. The old hen's neck was cut and blood dripped from it.
"What is he doing?" Everyone was confused.
Master Xie pinched the old hen with one hand and stroked the stone Buddha with the other hand. He waved a golden light in his palm and touched the old hen's neck.
A few seconds later, Master Xie's hand moved away. The old hen's bleeding wound was healed at this moment. It fluttered its wings and escaped from Master Xie's hand. It giggled and ran out of the hall.
Seeing this, everyone was completely dumbfounded. They did not expect such a magical thing to happen.
Even Master Qin was shocked at this moment. He shook his head in disbelief and said, "What, what's going on?"
Master Xie put his hands behind his back and said, "This stone Buddha is not only a personal object of the eminent monk, but also a well- nurtured Buddha treasure. The Buddha's light is restrained and the Spiritual Qi is overflowing. The effect of strengthening the body and waking up the mind is just a small part of the real power."
"The real effect is what I just showed. The wound is healed and the body is restored. If you can use it, you may even save your life. It can be said that this Buddhi treasure is equivalent to the magical medicine that can bring a dying man back to life" Master Xie said.
Chapter 123
As soon as he said that, all the rich people in the hall widened their eyes. Their breathing became rapid, and the temperature in the hall seemed to have rose.
Looking at the passionate crowd, Master Xie sneered and looked at Master Qin, "Now, do you still dare to call yourself a master in front of me?" Master Xie asked.
Master Qin's face was full of bitterness, but he cannot do anything as he had just been defeated. He bowed to Master Xie and said, "I was too ignorant to notice the presence of a true master. I should not show off my incompetence in front of you. I apologize."
After that, Master Qin bowed his head and went back. He lamented in his heart, but he had no other way. After all, Master Xie was more powerful. No matter how he reprimanded him, he could only accept it.
Master Qin sighed, but the surrounding rich people's faces were bright with excitement. They can't take their eyes off at the stone Buddha. Some of them kept looking at Master Xie, apparently thinking about how to befriend such a true master.
Mr. Hu, who invited Master Qin, was not in the mood to care about Master Qin at the moment. He comforted him with some words and then stared at the stone Buddha with keen eyes. The hand holding the crutch trembled slightly and made a sound on the ground.
Even Caesar Du, who was beside Fade Chen, was extremely excited at this time. He muttered, "Treasure, it's a real treasure! This time, no matter what, we must take this treasure down!"
Seeing this, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he could confirm that Mr. Yuan's accomplices with the old farmer were Donny Liang and Master Xie.
Although the scene just now was wonderful, it was just a trick after all. What's more, what Master Xie said later was way too over. He mentioned something about saving a dying man, just like the things in the myth.
Usually, this group of rich people would not believe in this kind of bullshit. But what Master Xie did really shocked everyone and made everyone ignore the unreasonable part of his words. On the contrary, the more he boasted, the more everyone thought it was true.
Although Caesar Du was excited, he did not forget about Fade Chen. He turned his head and asked, "Brother Fade, what do you think?"
Fade Chen shook his head and wanted to tell Caesar Du not to bid.
However, before he could say anything, Donny Liang sneered, "Caesar Du, what's wrong? The 'master' beside you shook his head and sighed. Are you not agreeing what Master Xie said?"
He deliberately stressed the word "master" with irony.
The rich also couldn't help but look over. Their eyes were full of suspicion. Obviously, they didn't trust Fade Chen.
Caesar Du's face darkened with embarrassment. He struggled to refute, "Donny, what are you talking about? When did my Brother Fade say that?"
The two men were about to quarrel again. At this moment, Mr. Hu coughed gently and said, "Donny, stop talking about it. Caesar, this man beside you will still need to learn from the master. Young people should be calmer!"
Speaking of the master, Mr. Hu looked at Master Xie, indicating that Fade Chen was not qualified on such an occasion, so he should not make a statement that could cause misunderstanding.
The crowd also nodded at this moment, apparently agreeing with Mr. Hu's words.
Donny Liang smiled proudly.
Caesar Du's face was awkward, and he pouted, but he couldn't say anything. On one hand, Mr. Hu was a senior, so he should respect him. On the other hand, Master Xie's skill just now was really amazing.
Seeing that Caesar Du did not speak, Mr. Hu coughed and said, "Since the item has been identified and everyone thinks it is a good thing. Then, let's begin the bidding!"
"Mr. Yuan, what's your minimum price?" Mr. Hu asked.
The old farmer looked nervous and said, "I, I don't know how much I should start with. I don't know how much this thing is worth. This, this master knows, he, he..."
When Mr. Hu saw the old farmer pointing at Master Xie, he looked over and asked, "Master Xie, Mr. Yuan asks for your opinion. Is it convenient for you to tell us the price?"
After that, Mr. Hu looked at the rich again and asked, "If Master Xie is the one who set the price, does any of you have any opinions?"
"No problem!"
"Of course we believe in you, Master Xie!"
"We will definitely believe in you."
Master Xie saw this and walked out with his hands clasped behind his back. He said slowly, "Since everyone trusts me, then i'll tell you.
"Three years ago, I was invited by the richest man in Jade City to go to the Jade City Treasure Auction House to identify a treasure. It was also a Buddha treasure, and the final price of the deal was more than 50 million yuan. It was taken by the richest man in Jade City!"
After a pause, Master Xie continued, "This Buddha treasure is better than the one in Jade City."
After that, Master Xie left. Many rich people around him suddenly brightened their eyes with excitement.
It was a great honor to bid down a Buddha treasure that was even more powerful than the richest man in Jade City! Moreover, this Buddha treasure had the magical effect of healing wounds, which was even more priceless.
No matter what, they had to buy this treasure.
At this moment, many rich people were ready to take action. "Fifty million yuan!" Someone bid directly.
"Sixty million yuan! Mr. Wang, you are too stingy. Didn't you heard that Master Xie said this Buddha treasure is better than the one in Jade City." Someone laughed. "
Sixty-five million yuan!"
"Seventy million yuan!"
The price soon rose to eighty million yuan. Caesar Du couldn't help feeling anxious and was ready to bid.
But at this moment, Fade Chen gently shook his head at Caesar Du and said, "Don't bid this object!"
Although Caesar Du was puzzled, looking at Fade Chen's serious eyes, he put down his raised hand.
At this time, Donny Liang, who had just bid ninety million yuan, couldn't help mocking, "Caesar, what's wrong with you? Today, you invited a fake master to identify the treasure, and turned into a coward yourself. Why don't you bid?"
Caesar Du gritted his teeth in anger, but when he saw Fade Chen shaking his head next to him, he still held back his anger and did not bid.
Donny Liang didn't give up and continued to satirize, "Oh, your master is really good at acting and shaking his head? What do you mean this time? You don't like our price? Or do you think it's worthless?"
As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter. At the same time, someone also said for Donny Liang, "Young Master Liang, maybe this young man has seen that Master Qin and Master Xie have taken action, and yet he didn't have time to show himself, so he is somewhat regretful!"
"Oh, I see!" Donny Liang suddenly understood. "It's my mistake, my mistake. It turns out that you want to show your strength but we didn't give you a chance!"
"Well, let's stop bidding and let the young master show himself!" Donny Liang deliberately said in a sarcastic tone.
Chapter 124
After that, Donny Liang purposefully looked at Caesar Du.
Caesar Du then turned to look at Fade Chen. In such an occasion, he was insulted by Donny Liang, his deadly enemy. Of course, Caesar Du was angry. He also wanted Fade Chen to beat Donny Liang in the face.
But after all, it depends on Fade Chen whether he would take action or not, so Caesar Du looked at Fade Chen with a blank face.
Fade Chen glanced at Donny Liang and Master Xie with a cocky smile on their faces, and his eyes flashed a hint of sternness. Originally, he didn’t want to do anything today, he came because he did not want Caesar Du to be cheated.
However, Donny Liang’s repeated provocation irritated Fade Chen.
“Since you don’t know what’s good or bad for yourself, don’t blame me for revealing your scam.”
Thinking of this, Fade Chen nodded, stood up, and said loudly, “Since you said so, I’ll show you!”
“You’ll show us? Woah, this guy seriously thought that he himself is a master. The sarcastic man heard this and laughed again.
“Caesar, take care of your people. This is not a place for you young people to mess around.” Mr. Hu’s tone was a bit heavy, and he said to Caesar Du.
Donny Liang, on the other hand, was in a good mood at the moment. He deliberately said, “Since this master wants to show off, then let him have a try. Or else some people won’t accept that they have been defeated at that time!”
As he spoke, Donny Liang glanced at Caesar Du.
Caesar Du was furious, but Fade Chen patted him on the shoulder and took the initiative to walk to the stone Buddha.
Seeing this, Master Xie, who had closed his eyes, leaned against the chair, then, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Fade Chen. He sneered and said disdainfully, “Previously, Master Qin is able to sense something. This guy, a mortal, will never be able to sense anything from it.”
After that, Master Xie closed his eyes again, and it seemed that he didn’t look at Fade Chen.
Other rich people and their master couldn’t help but shook their heads at this moment, showing sarcasm and disappointment.
Fade Chen turned a blind eye to them, circled around the stone Buddha, and then said loudly.
“Speaking of which, the stone Buddha is surrounded by Spiritual Qi, which does have the effect of strengthening the body and awakening the brain. The ability shown by Master Xie just now is also true. Generally speaking, the stone Buddha is not bad.”
When they heard Fade Chen’s words, they could not help but look suspicious of him.
“Does this guy really understand?”
“What do you know? What he said was what Master Qin and Master Xie just said.”
“I see. This guy only paraphrase the sentence. He almost fooled me.”
“Boy, if you are merely repeating what the previous master had mention, then don’t waste everyone’s time.”
Fade Chen did not care about their words. After a pause, he glanced around the crowd and suddenly said, “Although this stone Buddha is somewhat effective, it is not worth your price at all. Let alone seventy or eighty million yuan, even seven or eight hundred thousand yuan is not worth to buy the stone Buddha. It’s a waste to buy this kind of thing.”
Everyone was shocked by his words.
Master Xie, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and slapped on the chair armrest, shouting angrily, “Kid, what are you talking about?”
Donny Liang’s face changed, and then he shouted, “Caesar, this is the master that you brought. It’s okay if he doesn’t have any skills. But now he is talking nonsense. Are you kidding us?
Even Mr. Hu and others could not stand it any longer. They all shook their heads and looked at Fade Chen unkindly.
Although Caesar Du was also surprised by Fade Chen’s words, he trusted Fade Chen very much. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and stood up. He looked at the crowd and shouted, “Why do you say that Brother Fade is talking nonsense? Perhaps, Brother Fade is right.”
“What a joke, a kid’s nonsense. How can it be comparable to the appraisal of Master Xie?” Donny Liang said loudly at Caesar Du.
Mr. Hu also shook his head at this time and said to Caesar Du, “Caesar, you are still young in this field. Go back and learn more from your father!”
Faced with these doubts and curses, Fade Chen did not refute at all. He just raised his right hand, suddenly gathered a touch of internal vital force, and directly patted on the stone Buddha
Suddenly, the golden light shone brightly on the surface of the stone Buddha. The whole room became bright and the air seemed to become refreshing.
“Kid, what are you doing?”
“He activated the Buddha treasure!”
“Kid, you can’t mess around with such a treasure!”
Fade Chen bellowed, “Have you noticed anything different?”
Hearing Fade Chen’s words, Caesar Du calmed down first. After feeling it for a while, he was surprised and exclaimed, “This is different from the situation when Master Xie activated it just now! There is nothing this time!”
Hearing Caesar Du’s words, the others immediately realized the difference. Although the current Buddha statue was also shining brightly, it did not have the magical effect just now.
For a moment, the rich people couldn’t help but looked puzzled.
“What’s going on?”
“How is it different?”
Fade Chen looked at the confused crowd and stopped. The golden stone Buddha suddenly returned to its original appearance. Then he focused his eyes and snapped, “Why? The reason is simple, because this so-called Buddha treasure is simply a fake!”
Master Xie and Donny Liang were enraged and shouted.
“Nonsense!”
“Crazy man, what nonsense are you saying!”
Fade Chen sneered and said, “Why are you so agitated? Does this have something to do with you?”
Master Xie and Donny Liang couldn’t sit still. They suddenly stood up and were about to rush over to fight with Fade Chen.
“You are slandering me. You are talking nonsense.” Donny Liang shouted.
“Kid, what nonsense are you talking about. How dare you insult my name! You’re courting death!” Master Xie snarled.
Fade Chen looked calm. He looked at Master Xie and said coldly, “Since you said I was talking nonsense. You said the stone Buddha is real. So, do you dare to prove it to everyone and stimulate the stone Buddha?”
After that, Fade Chen folded his arms in front of his chest and looked at Master Xie with a sneer.
The spiritual energy on the stone Buddha was not much originally. Master Xie showed it before and consumed a lot of it. Just now, Fade Chen activated the spiritual energy again and consumed all the spiritual energy on the stone Buddha. There was nothing much left on the stone Buddha.
The current stone Buddha was just a stone without any value.
Of course, Master Xie could feel that the Spiritual Qi on the stone Buddha had been completely consumed. So he naturally could not demonstrate it.
Therefore, he stared at Fade Chen with cold eyes. The hatred in his eyes was as if he wanted to kill Fade Chen, but he didn’t dare to do it.
Chapter 125
Seeing this, the rich couldn't help but be more suspicious.
"That boy is rude. Master Xie, please show him again and seal his mouth!"
"Yeah, we didn't see it clearly just now. Why don't you demonstrate it again, Master Xie?"
"Donny Liang, talk to Master Xie!"
---
Almost all the rich made a sound, but Master Xie was still motionless, showing no intention of showing the power of the stone Buddha. On the contrary, the sweat on their faces increased, and they seemed to be very nervous.
Seeing this, everyone's heart missed a beat, and their doubts were getting heavier and heavier.
Someone muttered, "Is the stone Buddha really fake? Then what's the situation of Master Xie's demonstration just now?
Fade Chen chuckled and said loudly, "This so-called Buddha treasure is tainted with some Spiritual Qi on the stone figure. Spiritual Qi has the effect of strengthening the body and awakening the mind. As for the demonstration, Master Xie activated the Spiritual Qi to produce light, and then used some tricks to create the wonderful scene you just saw."
"But now, Master Xie doesn't dare to show it. That's because I just used up all the Spiritual Qi on the stone Buddha. Without Spiritual Qi, it can't produce any miracle again. How would he dare to show it again!" Fade Chen said.
After saying that, Fade Chen raised his right palm and slap on the stone Buddha with a snap. He split the stone Buddha in half with one palm.
Suddenly, the stone Buddha turned into a pile of gray gravel.
Mr. Hu and others were experienced experts in the circle. When they saw that the stone was obviously a new one, they immediately realized that the Buddha statue was fake.
Mr. Yuan, who dressed like an old farmer, squatted on the ground with sweat all over his head. He was trembling and extremely nervous.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Yuan quickly waved his hand and pointed to Master Xie and Donny Liang. He said, "It's none of my business. It's them who asked me to deceive you with this fake Buddha. They are the mastermind. I don't know anything else."
Under such circumstances, no matter how poor is the judgment of the rich, at this moment, they understood that this was completely a scam set up by Donny Liang, Master Xie, and Mr. Yuan.
Thinking of the price of tens of millions of yuan just now, the rich could not help but feel scared. Even with their inheritance, tens of millions of dollars would still not be a small amount. Then the fear turned into anger and they glared at Donny Liang and Master Xie.
Mr. Hu snorted, looked at Donny Liang and Master Xie, and said in a cold voice, "Donny Liang, how do you want to explain this matter?"
Donny Liang looked anxious and his mouth moved, but he couldn't explain it. He could only turn to look at Master Xie beside him.
Master Xie looked up at Mr. Hu and the others who were full of anger. There was not a trace of fear on his face. Instead, he laugh and put his hands behind his back, looking very calm. "Explanation? You want me to explain? What a joke. Even if I lie to you, what can you do to me?"
The crowd did not expect Master Xie to be so arrogant. He admitted to be lying, but he still did not admit his mistake.
Mr. Hu shouted angrily at once. He stamped his crutch heavily on the ground and shouted, "Guards, arrest them!"
With a crash, seven or eight strong bodyguards appeared behind Mr. Hu in an instant. Looking at their strong bodies, one could tell that they were definitely not ordinary people.
Mr. Yuan, who looked like an old farmer, was scared to the ground. He was just a small liar. If he provoked such a rich man, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Donny Liang's face turned a bit distressed. Although his grandfather was the president of the provincial antique association, his power and status were not lower than those here in the hall. But this time, he was the one lying. If the matter was exposed, his grandfather would be affected.
Even at this moment of time, when Master Xie saw the seven or eight bodyguards rushing toward him, he showed a sneer on his face with no fear at all.
"Catch him!" Mr. Hu frowned and shouted. Immediately, seven or eight bodyguards pounced on him.
The bodyguard was about to catch Master Xie. But at this moment, Master Xie snorted, took out a one-foot-long wooden sword from his arms, and then quickly pointed it with his left hand.
In an instant, a light shone brightly, and a layer of golden light emitted from the surface of the wooden sword. In the light, roars of tigers and lions rose up to the sky, as if thousands of beasts were running, bringing a great pressure.
The bodyguards were covered by the light and shocked by the virtual shadow. All of a sudden, their bodies sank and they were pressed to the ground, with their teeth, eyes, and ears bleeding.
Seeing this, many rich people were scared out of their wits and stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.
Master Qin, next to Mr. Hu, was shocked at this moment. He looked at Master Xie and said, "This, this is the aura of Genuine Vitality. You are you an Earth Class Master?"
"I didn't expect that I could actually see a real Earth Class Master. This, this is real." Master Qin was so excited that he couldn't speak.
When people around heard the words an Earth Class Master", they were all shocked. After all, in Bay City, the strength of a big shot like Jimmy Wei was only at the Late stage of Yellow Class.
Not to mention the Earth Class masters, there was almost no one, even a Profound Class master in Bay City. Such a master was too far away from everyone. At this time, he really appeared in front of everyone, which surprised these rich people.
At the same time, their hearts were full of despair. Being targeted by an Earth Class master, they had no ability to resist.
Master Xie smiled confidently and snorted, "You know the aura of Genuine Vitality. It's your honor to die in my hands today!"
After that, Master Xie's eyes turned and fell on Fade Chen. His expression was extremely resentful, and his eyes were so gloomy, "Boy, you've ruined my plan. You'd better die here today!"
Master Xie waved his hand, and the wooden sword in his hand shone again, bursting out a dazzling light. It stabbed at Fade Chen with an unstoppable force.
As the crisis approached, everyone could not help but feel anxious.
However, facing Master Xie's attack, Fade Chen was calm and put his hands behind his back, as if he had not seen Master Xie's attack at all.
"Escape!"
"Run!"
-----
The crowd exclaimed. Even Caesar Du, who was confident in Fade Chen's strength, also rushed to Fade Chen with a pale face when he heard that Master Xie was an "an Earth Class Master". He said, "Brother Fade, hide quickly!"
Master Xie smirked and looked at Fade Chen. "Boy, you've asked for it!"
When the wooden sword was about to stab Fade Chen, with his hands behind his back, Fade Chen suddenly raised his head.
In the face of the oncoming wooden sword, Fade Chen's eyes flashed a glimmer of light. Then he raised his right hand and faced the sharp wooden sword.
Chapter 126
Master Xie sneered at Fade Chen's action and said, "Kid, using your bare hands to catch my wooden sword. You're asking for trouble!"
"Stab him!" Master Xie commanded and wrenched his gaze at Fade Chen's palm.
But just as the wooden sword was approaching his palm, something shocking happened. The sharp wooden sword flashed with streams of light, abruptly stopped in front of Fade Chen's palm.
"What, what's going on?" Everyone was stunned.
Master Xie was also stunned and in disbelief.
Both of his hands continuously shot out a few beams of light into the wooden sword to maneuver the wooden sword towards Fade Chen.
However, before the wooden sword could strike, Fade Chen gently grasped the wooden sword in his hand. He examined it and nodded, "The wood material is not bad, but the refining skill is rather poor."
Master Xie turned white. He hurriedly mobilized his Qi in an attempt to take back the wooden sword. But the wooden sword only shook in Fade Chen's grip, yet unable to break free. Finally, as Fade Chen clenched it hard, the sword lost contact with its master completely and was taken by Fade Chen.
"Who, who are you?" Master Xie feared that he had met a master. His face, a horrified look. He shot out a stream of light and retreated desperately.
Fade Chen caught his movement and shouted coldly, "Trying to escape?"
He snorted and threw the wooden sword he had just possessed into the air. He moved his hands rapidly and shot out several beams of light into the wooden sword. The wooden sword instantly let out a ray of light and suddenly catapulted to the sky, dashing towards Master Xie.
"Boom!"
Master Xie, who had just fled to the living room entrance, felt a strong wind whizzed by his ear. He turned his head in time to witness the wooden sword, grazed pass his ear and penetrated the door. The sword completely pierced through the ten centimeters thick wooden door.
Master Xie slumped to the ground, too afraid to move then. He looked at Fade Chen with horror in his eyes. "Sword commanding skill. You, you..."
Fade Chen waved his hand. He did not give Master Xie a chance to continue, but ordered him instead, "Get over here!"
Master Xie was so scared he was trembling. He clambered to Fade Chen's feet, crouched beside his feet as quiet as a mouse.
"Tell me the details of your scam!" Fade Chen said with an icy cold tone.
Master Xie did not dare to hide the truth. He nodded profusely and then narrated the whole incident.
Master Xie and Donny Liang met half a month ago. At that time, Master Xie had just stepped into the industry and wanted to make some money. However, he didn't want to just do small business and make small cash. Donny Liang on the other hand, had just lost to Caesar Du in a dispute. So he came up with a plan and devised the scam of using fake goods for treasures to deceive the rich.
With Master Xie's ability and Donny Liang's identity, the news spread quickly. Almost no one doubted the authenticity of the news. The deceptions especially created by Master Xie had absolutely stunned these rich people.
Had it not for Fade Chen's sudden appearance, Master Xie and Donny Liang's deception would have been a success.
After listening to the truth, the rich people instantly burst into anger. They glared at Donny Liang with fury. Caesar Du was notably furious at this point because Master Xie had confessed that Donny Liang's main target this time was Caesar Du.
Therefore, he had deliberately chosen a time when Mr. Du would be busy and arranged the event to take place in Bay City, which was located away from Long City. This would make it difficult for Caesar to engage a master in time and therefore, could be easily deceived.
"I was wrong, I was wrong! Please, spare me once!" Donny Liang realized that the scam had been exposed and even Master Xie was defeated. He had no courage to retaliate so he quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
The rich wanted to reap this guy into pieces, but considering that he was the grandson of Shawn Liang, the president of the Long City Antique Association, they had to give him some face. For a moment, everyone turned to Fade Chen. "Master Chen has helped us solved the scam. We shall let Master Chen deal with this fella."
"Master Chen, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Donny Liang kowtowed to Fade Chen, so hard that his forehead was bleeding.
Fade Chen snorted and said, "That's not your attitude just now!"
Donny Liang quickly defended, saying, "I did not recognize you just now. It's my fault, I'm so sorry!"
Fade Chen thought for a while and said coldly, "For your grandfather's sake, I will spare your life this time. But you have to pay for your intention to deceive."
"I'Il pay, I'll pay, no matter at what cost!" Donny Liang hastened.
Fade Chen scowled, "If I've remembered correctly, the final auction price for the stone Buddha was 90 million! Since that's the case, then you shall buy the stone Buddha!"
"What." Donny Liang was dumbfounded.
"You're not willing?" Fade Chen glared at Donny Liang.
Donny Liang quickly shook his head and said, "Yes, I do. I am willing to buy that stone Buddha, but, Master Chen, don't have so much money at the moment, so, I..."
Fade Chen waved his hand and declared, "I'll give you half a month to raise the money. After you have accumulated it, you can pass it to Caesar Du first. If I don't see the money after the deadline, I think you'll clearly know the consequences."
"No, I will do it. Definitely!" Donny Liang nodded quickly.
"Get out!" Fade Chen dismissed him and drove Donny Liang out of the hall. At the same time, he glared at Master Xie who was next to his feet and said, "Go outside and wait."
Master Xie scrambled out in a hurry.
Inside the house, all the rich people were now gathered around Fade Chen, mumbling their gratitudes and words of flattery. After all, he was more powerful than the "Earth Class Master", Master Xie. It was definitely not a bad thing to be friends with Fade.
Even Mr. Hu, who was the most senior there stood up unsteadily and bowed to Fade Chen with much efforts. "Master Chen, I didn't know your identity just now, and didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Master Chen!"
Fade Chen waved his hand lightly to express that it was not of concern, that immediately made Mr. Hu let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, the shocked Master Qin cupped his hands to show respect to Fade Chen, and then asked cautiously, "Master Chen, you just defeated Master Xie. He is an Earth Class master. I wonder which realm are you at. Are you already a Heaven Class master?"
When mentioned about "Heaven Class" master, everyone could not help but gasped. After all, to them, an Earth Class master was already something beyond their imagination, and Heaven Class master would almost be legendary.
In the whole country, there were only very few Heaven Class masters. They existed almost only within noble families, and government officials. These people were definitely more rare than the giant panda.
At this moment, everyone glanced at Fade Chen with anticipation and excitement.
Chapter 127
Fade Chen did not answer directly, but said, "Master Xie is not an Earth Level Master. He is at the advanced stage of Yellow Level, which is the lowest level in martial arts practice."
"What? Not an Earth Level master?"
"Only at advanced stage of Yellow Level? This, this is impossible!"
"But then he used his true vital energy to suppress those bodyguards!"
---
The rich people heard Fade Chen's words and immediately inquired in disbelief.
Fade Chen shook his head gently and explained, "Martial arts warriors are divided into four levels, namely Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Amongst them, masters of the Black and Yellow level, have cultivated the internal vital energy. Once they enter the Earth level, their internal vital energy can be transformed into the purer, true vital energy, which can be released from the body with various magical effects. Once they have cultivated the true vital energy and become an Earth Level Master, they can be regarded as the elites and has great ability to protect themselves even when alone."
Although these rich people were not martial arts practitioners, they had their own bodyguards who practiced martial arts, so they could clearly understand the strength of a martial artist. After listening to Fade Chen's detailed explanation, they nodded in agreement and looked at Fade Chen to wait for him to continue.
Fade Chen paused slightly and continued, "The true vital energy is richer and purer compared to the internal vital energy. It can be released from the body. So when you saw Master Xie's gesture just now, you misunderstood that as the true vital energy, and therefore thought he was an Earth Level Master.
"In fact, the true vital energy can be released, but not all of the energy released is true vital energy. As you know, there are many unknown existences in the path of martial arts. In addition, the ancient martial arts practice has a long history, and there are just too many unknown methods."
"Master Xie had only used some of the tricks of traditional Taoist magic, coupled with some special elements to expand his internal vital energy in order to create a heavy suffocating effect. In fact, what he had used just now was the internal vital energy. You couldn't notice it because you were already scared."
After Fade Chen's explanation, the rich people nodded awkwardly. Being amongst the rich and elite, they felt humiliated to be deceived like this.
In reality, even the warriors at the advanced stage of the Yellow Level were absolutely masters in the eyes of these rich people. Therefore, it was normal that they couldn't distinguish the levels.
"Thank you, Master Chen!" They thanked Fade Chen.
Then, someone suddenly remembered something and asked Fade Chen, "Master Chen, so which level are you at?"
For a moment, everyone looked at Fade Chen skeptically Since Master Xie was not an Earth Level Master, then Master Chen, who defeated Master Xie, naturally would not be a Heaven Level Master.
However, what they didn't know was that although Master Xie was not an Earth Level Master, Fade Chen was indeed a Heaven Level master, in fact, he was at the pinnacle of its level.
But then, even if Fade Chen said that he was a Heaven Level Master, they would probably doubt him. Therefore, Fade Chen chose to keep silent.
When everyone noticed Fade Chen did not say a word, they thought that Fade Chen was too embarrassed to admit that he wasn't a Heaven Level Master. After all, everyone expected him to be one, but then, Fade Chen was probably just a master at the advanced or pinnacle stage of the Yellow Level. Although still considered very good, it was still far from what was expected.
Therefore, Mr. Hu, who was a veteran, quickly laughed and changed the topic.
The group of people chatted for a while. After exchanging their contacts, they took their leave respectively.
Fade Chen and Caesar Du left together. On the way out, Caesar Du once again expressed his gratitude towards Fade but was gently refused by Fade. He bid Caesar Du goodbye and asked him to leave, while he still had something to deal with.
Although Caesar Du was confused, since Fade Chen had voiced out, he drove away obediently.
Fade Chen strolled around for a while with his hands behind his back. Then he turned into an alley and broke the silence, "Come out!"
Master Xie immediately appeared behind Fade Chen, his face showed only respect.
Fade Chen took out the wooden sword that was used by Master Xie just now and asked, "Where did you get this sword?"
Master Xie looked at Fade Chen in perplex. Why would someone like Master Chen be interested in his not so valuable wooden sword? But since Master Chen asked, he replied without hesitation, "Master Chen, I requested someone to make this sword."
"You asked someone to make it?" Fade Chen frowned and then asked, "Where did you get the material for this sword? Did you provide it yourself or it was chosen by the creator?"
Master Xie was stunned, he continued to explain, "I provided the material. Three years ago, I was picking herbs in the mountains and stumbled upon a piece of yellow wood. At that time, I noticed that the wood had a clear wood grain and emanated faint wood scent. The wood was also very hard."
"I thought it was some sort of valuable wood from plants such as yellow pear trees, rosewood and so on, so I thought of selling it for money. But when I got back, I found someone to identify it and discovered that it was just a piece of hard ordinary wood."
"Later, when I was ready to throw the wood away, my friend suggested that although the wood was not so valuable, it was tough and a good material for making swords. So he made me a wooden sword."
After Master Xie finished speaking, he looked at Fade Chen uneasily and asked cautiously, "Master Chen, is there something wrong with this sword?"
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong. The only thing is you're ignorant and as a result, wasted a piece of treasure
"This wooden sword is a treasure?" Master Xie looked surprised.
Fade Chen said, "The wooden sword is very common, but the material for making the wooden sword is good stuff. The wood is not yellow pear tree, but Rudraksha wood."
"Rudraksha wood!" Master Xie was shocked. As confused as he was, he still knew what Rudraksha meant, especially the rare one. It was the legendary sacred tree of Buddhism. "Is it really Rudraksha Tree?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Fade Chen snorted and then said, "Besides, without the reinforcement of the Rudraksha wood, do you think your puny power could create the life-like illusions of the Buddha and the Divine Maiden?"
"Ahem, this -" Master Xie blushed and felt a little embarrassed. When he first used his internal energy to render the image of Buddha and the Divine Maiden, the effect was unexpectedly good, it made him thought that his strength had improved, and he was ecstatic for quite a while. Unexpectedly, he now knew that it was not his own progress, but the power of the wood.
"Master Chen, this... this wooden sword is for you. Only masters like Master Chen deserves to use this kind of treasure." Master Xie swallowed hard. Although he was reluctant, he still presented the wooden sword to Fade Chen with both hands
Chapter 128
Fade Chen waved his hands and said, "You can keep it for yourself. Although this is a good sword, it is nothing to me."
Master Xie stared at Fade Chen for a few seconds to make sure that Fade Chen was not testing him, then he put away the wooden sword with joy. He was much more careful than before.
"Then, Master Chen, you-"Since Fade Chen didn't want the wooden sword but had called him over, he must have some other intentions.
Fade Chen said, "I need to go to the location where you found the wood. Do you still remember that place?"
Master Xie nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember! remember. I went there once last year."
"Very well, I am occupied recently. But when I need it, I will ask you to take me there. Do you understand?" Fade Chen said.
"Understood, understood!" Master Xie nodded quickly, and then asked hesitantly, "Master Chen, so, I, can I go now?"
Fade Chen nodded. Master Xie turned around with a grin on his face. He was scheming on something.
However, before his second step, there was a sudden strong gust of wind coming from behind him. Master Xie had just turned his head when he saw Fade Chen shot a red beam into his back. His body felt hot for a moment and then returned to normal.
Master Xie's expression changed instantly and his voice trembled. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "Master Chen, I, I.."
Fade Chen waved and said, "Don't be afraid. You won't die now."
"Now!" Master Xie caught the key word and gulped.
Fade Chen said, "I have injected a trace of poison into your body. You will be fine within half a year. But if you don't find the antidote by half a year, there will only be one outcome, you will die."
"Ah!" Master Xie now shocked and scared and began to tremble violently.
"Don't worry. As long as you are obedient and don't have any unnecessary plot twist within these six months, I will come and look for you. After you take me to that place, I will give you the antidote," Fade Chen said coolly.
Master Xie calmed down a little, but his heart was still thumping, he was at the verge of crying.
Fade Chen was too lazy to bother about him, so he just turned around and left. "Stay alert in the next six months. I will call you at any time."
Master Xie was depressed. As a martial warrior at the advanced stage of the Yellow Level, he could have pretended to be a master in front of ordinary people and enjoyed a good, comfortable life. But he ended up becoming Fade Chen's servant who had to respond whenever he was called, and at the same time worried about his dear life.
While Master Xie was muttering in his heart, Fade Chen paused and advised in a cold voice, "Of course, you can choose to not believe me and escape. But you will be responsible for your own consequences later."
After that, Fade Chen strode away without looking back, leaving Master Xie with a worried face. After a sigh, he decided to be a servant for half a year, not risking his life.
At this moment, Fade Chen inadvertently observed the scene behind him. Knowing that Master Xie had accepted his fate, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
The poison he mentioned just now was just to deceive people. After all, under normal circumstances, he would not carry the poison with him. As for the red beam, it was just the scorching true vital energy of Fade Chen, who practiced the "Kung Fu of Jiu Yang".
Fade Chen's intention to control Master Xie, was so that he could find more precious treasures following the trail of the Rudraksha wood.
It was known that if there was a Rudraksha wood, there would be a Rudraksha tree nearby. And if there was a tree, it would be very likely to find the Rudraksha seeds. The seeds were the real essence of the tree.
If fully aged, the Rudraksha seeds would be very beneficial even for a master like Fade Chen. The Rudraksha seed could help with Qi cultivation, treatment for illnesses, weapon refining, and many more.
Putting aside the issue of the Rudraksha seed for the time being, when Fade Chen returned to the villa, his wife, Quin Lin was already home.
Although Quin Lin did not ask, Fade Chen still briefly summarized for her, the series of events that happened when he and Caesar Du went to bid for the treasure, which was found to be a scam at the end. Although she did not say anything, when she finally went upstairs, the side of her lips curved upwards to show her approval of Fade Chen's actions.
As days went on the story of the stone Buddha deception gradually spread within the circle of antique collectors in Bay City, and Fade Chen the Master Chen became famous in the circle.
However, compared to the influence and change as a result of the meeting between Quin Lin and Charles Wu, Fade Chen's influence was not as significant.
After half a day's discussion, Charles Wu and Quin Lin had officially reached an agreement, and Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Galaxy Plaza Mall had reached a strategic partnership.
The Galaxy Plaza Mall would completely let go of the threshold and profit margins for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products to penetrate the shopping mall. At the same time, it also increased the distribution scale of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products. On the other hand, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc would award Galaxy Plaza Mall, its sole distributorship for the company's hot-selling products to the mall, including a limited amount of its exclusive health elixir to be supplied to the VIP counter at the Galaxy Plaza Mall.
In less than a week, the result of the cooperation between the two business giants was evident.
The market share of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Bay City increased by fifteen percent as a result of this strong collaboration. The brand image was also enhanced.
Contrary to the rise of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, it's closest competitor, Shang Enterprises Holdings, who was originally at the second place in the cosmetic market share, was badly hit following the strategic move of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Shang Enterprises Holdings' market share took a plunge and the profit was significantly diminished.
The stock price of Shang Enterprises dropped by 20 percent. Everyone within the organisation were grim. Leonard Zhu's father, Xavier Zhu, instantly looked like he had aged a few years.
On the other hand, Galaxy Plaza Mall began to develop rapidly in Bay City. Its business expanded from the initial commercial real estate to the residential real estate. In a short period of time, it actually went from zero to owning a huge chunk of the economy in Bay City.
This made the biggest real estate company in Bay City, the Hans Real Estate jumped to their feet. Howard Zhang, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly showed up again. He even came to Quin Lin's villa to seek Quin Lin's help to connect him with Galaxy Plaza Mall, to make compromise with the company.
However, when Charles Wu and Quin Lin decided to collaborate, they had already expected this. Under such a good situation, none would take the initiative to pull out, so Howard Zhang did not stand a chance and was directly being driven away.
As a result, the glamorous No.1 young master of Bay City, left with a somber face.
Howard Zhang himself was also a tragedy. Since he was taught a lesson by Fade Chen at Mr. Wu's banquet that time, his ego was badly wounded. So he had planned to stay at home and lay low for a while until the matter subsided.
However, just as he was about to make a come back, his plan was disrupted by the collaboration of Galaxy Plaza Mall and Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, once again taking a huge blow.
Chapter 129
The drama in the business world continued, but Fade Chen was not an expert in the industry, so he didn't get involved. As usual, he went to the company's medical room every day.
On this day, Fade Chen went to work as usual, but in the office corridor, he encountered an unexpected individual. It was Lily Wei, who had been on leave for more than half a month. She had just showed up today.
Compared to last time, Manager Wei did not put up a cold looking face this time. When she saw Fade Chen, Lily Wei nodded at him and gave him a rare smile.
Surprised, Fade Chen returned the smile. Fade Chen thought of asking about how she was doing. After all, they had been through many things together during this period and were friends.
However, when Fade Chen was still organizing his words and wondering how to start a conversation, Lily Wei took the initiative to approach him and asked softly, "Fade, do you have some time after work? I would like to treat you to a meal!"
"Ah!" Fade Chen was surprised but he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, of course, I have time. Manager Wei is treating, so even if I don't have the time, I have to make time!"
Lily Wei gently acknowledged and smiled, "Then i'll wait for you at the basement parking after work!"
"Okay!" Fade Chen nodded, and Lily Wei moved on. Just like before, her high heels clicking, and the fresh lily fragrance lingered around Fade Chen. But Fade Chen's sharp observation caught a slight change to Lily's expression. She didn't look as good as before.
After work, Fade Chen swiftly packed up his belongings and proceeded to the basement parking. He got into Lily Wei's car. They drove out of the company, and headed for the busy commercial street in the city center.
Lily Wei had already booked a table at a high-end Chinese restaurant upon arriving.
After the dishes were served, Lily Wei poured Fade Chen and herself each a glass of white wine.
Then, she picked up the glass and said to Fade Chen, "Fade Chen, I'm sorry about what happened before. Today, purposedly invited you here to formally apologize to you!"
After that, Lily Wei tilted her head and emptied the glass of white wine.
Although Lily Wei was capable of drinking, it was still a little difficult for her to down a full glass of wine. As soon as she did that, Lily Wei's face turned a shade of pink and her body swayed slightly. A mixture of wine and the fragrance of lilies from her body lingered in the air forming an intoxicating fragrance.
"Fade Chen, you have secretly protected me and even blocked the bullet for me. But I've misunderstood you. I owe you an apology. This glass is my toast to you!" While speaking, Lily Wei poured another glass of wine and emptied it at one go.
Before Fade Chen could stop her, Lily Wei poured herself the glass, she lifted the glass, "Fade Chen, the earlier glass was for my apology, and this glass is for my gratitude. Thank you for saving my mother. If it weren't for you, my mother would still.."
With this, Lily Wei again tilted her head upwards and was about to gulp down the wine again.
Fade Chen that Lily Wei had begun to sway, so he quickly grabbed Lily Wei's wrist and took the wine glass from her hand. He said, "Manager Wei, you can't drink like this. If you continue drinking, you will be drunk."
Lily Wei reached out to snatch the wine glass from Fade Chen's hand and lamented, "Fade Chen, please let me drink it. I need to drink to get the feeling off my chest. I feel so guilty."
Fade Chen would not let go of the wine glass. He tilted the glass and poured away the wine. Then he threw the bottle of white wine to the side. He got up, put his hands on Lily Wei's shoulders to settle her onto the seat and said, "Manager Wei, if you really want to thank me, drinking is not the way."
"Then, then, how do you want me to thank you?" Lily Wei's cheeks were red, her eyes blurry. Her delicate lips slightly parted and streams of fragrance rushed into Fade Chen's mouth and nose, he felt his body warming up.
"How can you thank me?" Fade Chen rolled his eyes and his gaze fell on Lily Wei. He scanned this charming girl up and down.
He looked at Lily Wei daringly, as if his eyes could pierce through her body.
Lily Wei caught Fade Chen's gaze, her body suddenly became stiff. She instinctively frowned, and almost wanted to show her temper. But then she twitched her eyebrows, bit her lip slightly, and held herself down. She did not move and let Fade Chen's blazing gaze perused all over her.
"I've come up with an idea to let you thank me properly!" Fade Chen suddenly stood up and leaned over to Lily Wei. His head almost touched Lily Wei's forehead. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly and he glanced at Lily Wei with a sinister smile.
Lily Wei instantly grabbed her collar, looked at Fade Chen with alert, and said, "What, what do you want to do? I, I want to thank you, but there are some things I don't do."
"Really?" Fade Chen frowned and looked unhappy. "That wasn't what you said just now! Then, I can't feel your sincerity!"
"Fade Chen, you don't cross the line. I won't agree to any excessive demand." Looking at Fade Chen's piercing eyes, Lily Wei felt a little flustered. She wanted to get up, but perhaps it was because of the wine or the pressure of Fade Chen's presence, she felt that she could not even move.
"Too much? Manager Wei, can you tell me what is too much?" Fade Chen glanced at Lily Wei again and asked.
Lily Wei bit her crimson lips, and her eyes almost teary. "Fade Chen, apart from my body. I can promise you anything you want."
Fade Chen frowned, "But, the gratitude is related to your body?"
"Fade Chen, you're shameless." Lily Wei didn't expect Fade Chen to request her to thank him with her body. She was so angry that she shouted, "You'd better give up. It's absolutely impossible."
After saying that, Lily Wei shielded her collar with her hands, her expression nervous. She was getting on her feet, ready to retaliate and leave at any time.
Seeing this, Fade Chen stepped back and then started to pile a generous amount of food into Lily Wei's bowl, saying, "Manager Wei, what I want, is for you to eat more."
"What?" Lily Wei was still in a daze. It wasn't the kind of request she had expected.
Fade Chen sighed and said, "Manager Wei, you have been exhausted during this period and lost a lot of weight. So I asked you to eat more and take care of yourself. However, Manager Wei seemed to have misunderstood my intention for something else."
"Alas, it's hard to be a nice person!" Fade Chen touched his forehead and lamented.
Lily Wei blushed. She knew Fade Chen was teasing her, she turned her beautiful eyes and glared at Fade Chen, then pouted, "Who allowed you to do that just now? You deserve to be misunderstood! Humph!"
With a snort, Lily Wei picked up the food Fade Chen had put into her bowl and started eating.
Chapter 130
After eating a few mouthfuls of food, a thought struck Lily Wei. She put down her chopsticks and turned to Fade Chen and asked, "Am I really thin?
Fade Chen paused for a moment, and then glanced over at Lily Wei, his eyes fixed on a certain spot. He stared at her for a few seconds then nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, they are not as big as they used to be!"
Lily Wei didn't understand what Fade Chen was talking about at first. But when she followed his gaze, her pretty face suddenly turned red. She covered her chest, swallowed hard and scolded, "Fade Chen, you're a jerk!"
"Manager Wei, why do I get scolded for telling the truth. Nowadays, good deeds don't get rewarded!" Fade Chen complained bitterly. Then he took a piece of papaya from the fruit plate and gave it to Lily Wei, urging, "Eat more, they can still be recovered."
"You." Lily Wei turned all red. She darted a look at Fade Chen, but began to munch the papaya hastily.
Fade Chen chuckled. Then poured Lily Wei a glass of water and handed it over with a smile. "Slow down, don't choke! After all, they don't just grow overnight. It can't be rushed."
Lily Wei rolled her eyes at Fade Chen, took the water, and took a sip. Then her face gradually turned serious and said, "Fade Chen, to be honest, I had misunderstood you for what happened before. Obviously, you did it for me. But in the end, I still..."
Fade Chen smiled and brushed it off. He looked at Lily Wei and said, "Manager Wei, let's just leave the past behind. Besides, I didn't take it to heart at all, so you don't need to say thank you."
"Really?" Lily Wei looked quizzically at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen smiled and shrugged, "Looks like no one believes in honesty now. Manager Wei, are you forcing a reward on me? Or, you could marry me!"
"You wish!" Lily Wei's eyes rolled skyward. Then, she pondered on something and decided to satisfy her curiosity, "By the way, Fade Chen, you have extraordinary ability and also excellent medical skills. Why are you willing to hold just a small doctor position in our company? With your capability, you could have achieved anything greater than now."
"Well.." Fade Chen scratched his head. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. After all, he had decided to stay in Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc for multiple reasons.
Watching Fade Chen's expression, Lily Wei remembered. She said meekly, "I almost forgot that you are Quin Lin's husband. It's normal for you to stay in the company."
"It's normal for you to assume an ordinary role for a beautiful woman like Quin Lin. I should've guessed that." Lily Wei grabbed a glass of water and raised her glass to Fade Chen.
Although her expression was well concealed, Fade Chen still noticed the slight change in her expression.
However, it was really hard to explain his relationship with Quin Lin. Fade Chen could only lift a glass of water and clinked it with Lily Wei. "Cheers!"
Both of them were in their own thoughts. They casually took a sip of water and then put down their glasses.
At this moment, came a surprised voice. "Lil, you are here!"
Fade Chen and Lily Wei turned to the direction of the voice.
The voice was from a young man in his mid-20s. The man was wearing a tight fitted T-shirt, and his defined muscles bulged out giving him a strong, brawny appearance.
Behind the muscular man were four or five young men in sportswear and all of them sporting short hair. They seemed to be from a martial arts club.
"Lil, didn't you say that you have to work overtime today and don't have time after work?" The man walked to the table and questioned Lily Wei in a somewhat aggressive tone.
Lily Wei's eyebrows knitted in a frown and then said blandly. "The company had decided not to work overtime. Also, hope you can call my full name." "
No more overtime! That's great. I just made a few new friends. Lil, come and have dinner together!" The muscle man pulled a smile, ignoring Lily Wei's annoyance to the nickname.
Fade Chen frowned at the sight of the man. Lily Wei had obviously displayed her refusal through her words and attitude. But the muscle man didn't notice or pretended not to see the cues. At this moment, he continued to try to please her.
Lily Wei gestured towards Fade Chen and said, "Thank you, but no need. My colleague and I have already eaten."
Finally, the muscle man leveled a glowering look at Fade Chen. Then, he narrowed his eyes and smirked. He reached out his big palm I see that your colleague is feeling a little unwell, and is patted Fade Chen on the shoulder. "Lil, leaving soon."
As he spoke, he exerted force into his palm, and pressed down heavily onto Fade Chen's shoulder.
Fade Chen's expression suddenly changed, anger crept over his face. Although the strength of this muscle man could not hurt him, as he was a master, but if it were to be an ordinary person, the force would have dislocated his shoulder.
At the thought of that, Fade Chen gently shrugged his shoulder and sent a force back to the muscle man. He blurted coldly, "I'm all good. Don't worry about me, sir."
Muscle man did not expect that someone thin and small like Fade Chen, could resist his strength and even fought back. He was suddenly caught off guard.
However, after the surprise, the muscle man snorted and showed an angry face. He exerted his force again on Fade Chen, but this time more assertive than before.
This had really provoked Fade Chen. He grabbed the muscle man at the wrist and removed the big hand from his shoulder. At the same time, his eyes were cold and his voice frigid. "Hey man, your behavior is very rude."
Lily Wei had also realized that the muscle man was doing something to Fade Chen at this moment. Furious, she bashed, "Duncan Wei, what are you doing to my friend?"
The muscle man scoffed, "Nothing, just giving someone a warning. Don't try to get something that one doesn't deserve, and get out of here as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, the muscle man applied more force and held down Fade Chen's right hand forcibly.
He exerted a lot of force this time, and with him standing in a condescending position, he had an advantage. He was confident that this time, Fade Chen's shoulder would be dislocated. This fella should've known not to compete with him for a woman.
Just as the muscle man was full of confidence, Fade Chen's face turned cold. His right hand that was holding the muscle man's wrist, firmly sustained the muscle man's tremendous downward force.
"Hey... Seeing that his attack did not succeed, the muscle man was a little surprised. But before he came to realization, Fade Chen snorted and twisted the muscle man's wrist.
Suddenly, Fade Chen twisted off the muscle man's wrist following a crisp, bone breaking sound. He let out a bloodcurdling howl, holding his wrist, and screamed. He glared at Fade Chen fiercely, "How dare you hurt me?"
Chapter 131
Fade Chen snorted and did not reply anything. He just increased the strength of his hand, which made the muscle man scream in pain and burst into tears.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" The muscle man cried with tears and snot all over his face. "Let me go, do you even know who I am?"
The young men of the martial arts club behind the muscle man saw he was beaten and immediately surrounded him with fury eyes, ready to attack Fade Chen.
Fade Chen snorted at them and said coldly, "If you want to die, just do it!"
They were scared by Fade Chen's cold gaze and trembled. Then they turned around and ran away without looking back.
At this moment, the muscle man had been so painful that he collapsed to the ground. He no longer dared to say anything malicious and turned to beg for mercy. "I was wrong, I was wrong. Please, let me go!"
Fade Chen did not respond, but looked at Lily Wei with a questioning look in his eyes. Obviously, this muscle man knew Lily Wei, so Fade Chen needed to ask for Lily Wei's opinion.
Lily Wei looked at the muscle man unpleasantly and said coldly, "Duncan Wei, you are the one who is impolite to my friend initially, you deserve it."
"Yes, I deserve it!" The muscle man grimaced in pain. At this moment, he was not in the mood to make a fool of himself. He nodded quickly. "I deserve it. I will not retaliate. I will never."
After hearing this, Lily Wei's eyes softened a little, and then she nodded to Fade Chen.
Fade Chen immediately let go of his hand and the muscle man quickly covered his right wrist, the muscles on his face were twitching. He got up and glanced at Fade Chen with hatred in his eyes. His mouth moved, but he didn't utter anything in the end. He quickly turned and left.
Fade Chen's eyes turned cold as he said, "He won't let it go!"
Hearing this, Lily Wei was surprised and wanted to stop the muscle man. But then she shook her head, sighed softly, and said to Fade Chen, "Fade Chen, I'm sorry. I got you involved in this matter."
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
"The muscle man, is he after you?"
Lily Wei sighed softly and said, "I guess you can say that but we're not close with each other."
"Eh?"
"He's Duncan Wei, a disciple of a master my dad invited from the south." Lily Wei said in a soft voice.
"Jimmy Wei, Uncle Wei!" Hearing Lily Wei called him father, Fade Chen was a little surprised, but then he felt relieved. It seemed that Lily Wei's mother had recovered from her injury, so both of them are reunited. "Why did Uncle Wei invite masters? Isn't he a master himself?"
Lily Wei sighed softly and explained, "Tom Wei should have told you that my father killed the other's boss when he was competing with his enemy. But the other's boss's brother escaped. Now, he is back. Besides, he gave my dad an order to kill him."
"It's a hunting order!" Fade Chen narrowed his eyes.
"The man personally sent the hunting order to my father's bedroom. On the full-moon night in three days, he officially come to my father for revenge. That is the day his brother died." Lily Wei said.
"Is that man very powerful?" Fade Chen asked.
Lily Wei nodded and said, "My father's villa was arranged with several security guards, but the other party actually sneaked in soundlessly. No one discovered them. It can be seen that the other party is a master."
"My dad hired an investigator and got obtained some clues, It is said that the man has been abroad for a few years, and now he came back. It is very likely that you have made great progress, and you are very likely to reach the peak of the yellow level. Lily Wei said with some worries, "The top of the yellow level, such a master, in the whole of Bay City, is probably only the old man of Wan family."
"My father is a master at the late stage of the yellow stage. Although he is only a small realm away from that man, there is still a big gap between his strength. In order to protect himself, my father asked someone to help him. He invited a master at the late stage of the yellow class from Sanjue Mountain in the south. The master is called Thomas Qiao. He just arrived the day before yesterday. Just now, Duncan Wei, the disciple of Thomas Qiao, also has the strength of the middle stage of the yellow class."
"Two experts at the Advanced Stage of the Yellow Class, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult to deal with a master at the peak of the Yellow Class!" Fade Chen could not help but say.
In his impression, it was not a big problem to fight ten people with each higher realm. Therefore, it might be difficult for two masters at the Advanced Stage of the Yellow Class to deal with a master at the peak of the Yellow Class.
Lily Wei said, "I don't understand these. But my dad said that it's very difficult to invite a master at the peak of the Yellow Level. It's not about money at all. In such a short period of time, the masters he can invite are at the same level as Thomas Qiao."
"He said that Thomas Qiao is very powerful. Although he is at the late stage of the yellow class, he is very close to the peak of it. Moreover, my father has secretly arranged some helpers. If we attack him together, there should be a chance of success."
Hearing this, Fade Chen shook his head secretly. Jimmy Wei and Thomas Qiao had underestimated the strength of a master at the peak of the Yellow Level. Regardless of the truth of Thomas Qiao's words, even if he was only one step away from the peak of the Yellow Level, there was still a gap. This gap was difficult to bridge with numbers.
Thinking of this, Fade Chen looked at Lily Wei and said, "Well, tell Uncle Wei. I'll go that night. After all, Uncle Wei and Tom Wei helped me a lot. I should help at this time."
"You want to help?!" Lily Wei was a little surprised, but then she looked worried and said, "However, my father's enemy is a master at the peak of the Yellow Class. If you go, it's too dangerous."
Although on the roof of the building, Fade Chen showed the magic of receiving bullets with bare hands, Lily Wei, who knew nothing about the strength of martial arts, could not see Fade Chen's strength at all. In her eyes, Fade Chen was powerful, but after all, he was only in his early twenties, just about the same as her cousin, Tom Wel. This kind of strength was not bad in the younger generation, but it was not enough to deal with a master at the peak of the yellow level.
Fade Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Warriors at that level can't hurt me."
"But..." Lily Wei was still worried.
Fade Chen smiled and reached out to pinch Lily Wei's face gently. He said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will protect myself and not let Manager Wei worry about me."
Lily Wei did not expect Fade Chen to do such a thing. She was stunned, and then she blushed and looked shy. She glared at Fade Chen and said, "Who is worried about you? You care about your dignity, and you deserve to be in danger! Hum!"
"Oh, my heart aches! In order to help, Manager Wei said that I deserve it. Alas!" Fade Chen covered his heart with his hands and looked sad.
Seeing Fade Chen behave like this, Lily Wei couldn't help but laugh. She picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Fade Chen's mouth. "Well, you're too old. Don't act like a child. Hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold."
Chapter 132
Fade Chen took a bite of the meat and chewed it with his eyes squint. He looked rejoiced and said, "The food fed by Manager Wei was really tasty and delicious!"
After eating, Fade Chen smiled and leaned over again. He squinted his eyes and said, "Beautiful Lily, feed me once again!"
Lily Wei picked up a small sip and stuffed it into Fade Chen's mouth. She stared at him with her beautiful big eyes and said, "Hmmm, eat it. I'll make you feel bloated!"
Fade Chen swallowed all the dishes in one gulp and then drank half a glass of water. He patted his chest and burped, then he said with a look of enjoyment, "The dishes fed by beautiful Lily were so delectable, it was such a joy."
"You are have such a glib tongue!" Lily Wei lowered her head and said. Her cheeks were blushed, and the smile on her face could not hide but exposed.
After a tumultuous meal with Lily Wei, their relationship became better and closer than before. Instead of having a cold look with serious businesslike attitude she had, Lily Wei coquettish stared at Fade Chen, who occasionally made jokes on her, then she blushed.
Having a little girl like shy look, coupled with Lily Wei's graceful figure, which made it so special. Fade Chen's eyes lit up and his heart was burning up after seeing.
After sending Lily Wei to the rented apartment near company, Fade Chen drove home. On the way, he called Tom Wei and asked on regarding the enemy's attack in three days later.
When Tom Wei knew that Fade Chen was willing to take action, he was so delighted. After all, in his point of view, Fade Chen has great strength, at least he was not much worse than his uncle. Having such a master, with additional of Thomas Qiao and uncle Wei himself, the three masters at the late stage of the yellow stage had improved a lot.
Three days soon arrived, the 15th day of the lunar month, it was a full-moon night.
In the evening, Tom Wei personally drove over to fetch Fade Chen to the villa of the Wei family.
The car stopped in the courtyard, and Tom Wei took Fade Chen to the backyard of the villa. There was a large lawn in the backyard, overlooking scenery under the mountain. There was a huge swimming pool near to the courtyard wall. Not only did the scenery looked nice, but also acted as an excellent defense place that was well fortified. It was the place that Uncle Wei chose to confront the enemy.
When Tom Wei took Fade Chen to the backyard, there were already numerous people in the backyard.
Among them, there were a lot of bodyguards dressed in black and armored with guns in their hands. They were setting up a defense line under the command of a middle aged man in his fifties. Jimmy Wei was also helping to set up the defense line.
Noticing the noise, the man turned around and glanced at Fade Chen. His eyes turned cold.
At the sight of this man, Fade Chen couldn't help but to stare at him. This middle-aged man had short hair, muscular strength, and looked very strong, similar to the muscular man, Duncan Wei.
"That's Thomas Qiao, a master from San Jue Mountain that my uncle invited from the south. Tom Wei close up to Fade Chen and explained in a low voice in Fade Chen's ear.
Fade Chen nodded slightly and it seems like he became more familiar to Thomas Qiao after the explanation. He noticed Thomas Qiao's strength was indeed good at the late stage of the yellow level, not too far from the peak of the yellow stage. But, if he and Jimmy Wei are going to be able to defend themselves against a top player of the yellow order, that's a bit of a reluctant.
Thomas Qiao looked at Fade Chen from head to toes, then turned and looked at Jimmy Wei and said, "Jimmy, this is..."
Jimmy Wei with an unflattering face then smiled at Thomas Qiao. He then quickly walked over, glared at Tom Wei, and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Tom Wei pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Uncle, I have told you that Fade is a master of martial arts. He is very strong and powerful. This time, Fade Chen is willing to help us out, so we have a greater chance of winning."
"Nonsense. Do you know how powerful the enemy it is? You are trying to harm Fade Chen. It's still early, you should send Fade back home quickly. And you too, don't come back tonight." Jimmy Wei did not believe in Tom Wei's words at all. He shouted at Tom Wei, which was also a kind of protection for him.
After all, in his opinion, Fade Chen was too young. Even if he had the strength, he would not be very powerful. Besides, the last time Fade Chen cured his wife, he showed his outstanding medical.
It took a lot of time for a young man in his early twenties to reach that realm in medical skills. Where did he have time to spare for martial arts?
Tom Wei still wanted to explain, but Jimmy Wei didn't believe it at all.
At this time, Fade Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Wei, don't blame on Tom Wei. I asked him if I could come over.
After all, Fade Chen was his benefactor, and now it was because of his kindness. Jimmy Wei softened his tone, but still tried to persuade him, "Fade, I know you are kind, but this time, the enemy is not an ordinary person. It's too dangerous, I...."
Before Jimmy Wei could finished his words, a muscular man came in with a cast on his right hand. It was Duncan Wei, who had a conflict with Fade Chen in the restaurant earlier that day.
When he saw Fade Chen, he immediately shouted with resentment, "Why are you here?"
When Thomas Qiao saw the resentment on his disciples face, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Duncan, what's going on? Do you know him?"
Duncan Wei gnashed his teeth with hatred and said coldly, "My right hand was broken by him."
"What!" Thomas Qiao's face turn darkened and his expression turned cold.
Jimmy Wei and Tom Wei also turned to look at Fade Chen with inquiring and questioning look.
Fade Chen nodded and said, "He asked for it. He provoked me first."
Upon hearing this, Thomas Qiao's face turn darkened and his expression became more darkened a little. He lowered his voice and asked, "Hey kid, what did you say?"
Jimmy Wei suddenly felt awkward after seeing this. The enemy had not yet arrived, but they were already fighting amongst themselves.
However, Fade Chen was his benefactor. No matter what, he had to be protected. Hence, Jimmy Wei grinned and said to Thomas Qiao, "Thomas, I think this is a misunderstanding. I'll treat you tomorrow, let's have a drink together
r and talk things over. We'll be alright."
"It's not a misunderstanding. He..." Duncan Wei shouted in dissatisfaction. But, before he could finish his words, his master, Thomas Qiao stopped him. Then he said to Jimmy Wei in a low voice, "Since Jimmy Wei has spoken, let's put this matter aside and focus on the big matter first. However, as an apprentice to me, Thomas Qiao, not everyone can bully my disciple!"
With a cold snort, Thomas Qiao glared at Fade Chen with a warning look.
Fade Chen did not take it seriously and remained silent. On the other hand, Jimmy Wei hurried over to appease Fade Chen. "Fade, this matter is really, I.."
Fade Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Wei, you don't have to explain. I understood. Big matter came first. I'm okay with it."
Upon hearing this, Jimmy Wei patted Fade Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, Fade Chen. Please be safe. I will go get to busy now."
Chapter 133
Jimmy Wei headed to work, while Tom Wei felt a little embarrassed and said to Fade Chen, "Fade, I have told my uncle that you are very powerful, but he.."
Fade Chen understood and he waved his hand then said, "These are not important. The most important thing is to guard against that master."
Tom Wei suddenly became serious too. He nodded and said, "Fade Chen, you are also a superior. Do you think you can defeat that person with your current arrangement?"
Fade Chen shook his head and said rudely. "If your information is correct that the opponent is really an elite master of the yellow class with having such team, then, it is difficult to defeat the opponent as well as ensure the safety of Uncle Wei under a well protection."
"What!" Tom Wei was a little surprised. Although he had expected Fade Chen to say that they had insufficient on-site strength, but he did not expect that Fade Chen would say that the strength of the site was not only insufficient but fundamentally insufficient.
Fade Chen pointed to the guards who were hiding with guns in their hands and said, "These guards seem to be very well protected, but when the elite master of the yellow class appeared, not to mention whether they have the chance to shoot, even if they shoot, it is also definitely a big problem whether they are able to aim it well. These guards can't stop the opponent for ten seconds."
"Fade Chen, is it really that bad? This is my uncle's elite master!" Tom Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "It's not about them, but it is because they are not a realm of rivals. Among ordinary people, they are considered decent, but they are not good enough for martial artists at the same level."
"Erm, Fade Chen, what should we do?" Tom Wei asked with some concern.
Fade Chen said, "We can't count on these people. However, you don't have to worry as long as I'm here."
Tom Wei felt relieved with the promise made by Fade Chen. Just then, a sneer came from the side, "What a maniac!"
Fade Chen and Tom Wei turned their heads together, following the voice, they saw none other than Duncan Wei, who had his hand broken by Fade Chen. With cast plaster on his right hand, he looked at Fade Chen with a disdainful sneer, "You're just a kid. You don't have the right to talk nonsense about it.
Tom Wei was not happy and said, "Duncan Wei, please mind your words. Fade is my friend."
Duncan Wei sneered and said sarcastically, "Friend? I think he just knows how to talk crap. The security measures in the villa were arranged by my master. What right does he have to say that my master's arrangements are not well prepared?"
Tom Wei said on behalf of Fade Chen, "You can't imagine Brother Fade's strength at all. Not to mention about you, even your master may not be able to defeat Fade."
"My master is not his opponent? What a joke. That's ridiculous." Duncan Wei laughed and glanced at Fade Chen and Tom Wei, then scanned them from head to toe. At last, his sight stopped at Fade Chen with a warning look and said coldly said, "Hey kid, I won't argue with you for what happened just now. But you'd better not come to join in the security of the villa today, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Fade Chen looked calm and said, "I don't want to join in the fun. But with the current situation, it can't protect Uncle Wei."
"What did you just say?" Duncan Wei stared at Fade Chen fiercely.
Fade Chen's tone was indifferent and continued, "I'm just telling the truth. You have no idea of the true strength of the elite master of the yellow class at all. With your current arrangement, you are not the opponent for the elite master of the yellow class."
"What a joke! My master, Thomas Qiao is a master from San Jue Mountain. His martial arts have reached the peak of the advanced stage of the yellow class, and there is only a little distance away for him to reach the peak. And also, with the help of the middle stage yellow class strength, and so many security guards, how can the elite master of the yellow class not be defeated?" Duncan Wei said proudly.
Fade Chen glanced at him and said, "The gap between a master at the Advanced Stage of the yellow class and an elite master of the yellow class is much larger than you think. Not to mention your master, even if Uncle Wei and your master worked together, two masters at the Advanced Stage of the yellow class can't defeat the opponent at all. These bodyguards are not worth mentioning and are totally useless after all."
Chen Fei glanced at the plaster on Duncan Wei's right hand and said, "As for you, you are worse than these bodyguards."
"You... Duncan Wei had always been confident. He was less than 30 years old, and his strength at the mid- stage of Yellow Class would be called as a master wherever he went. But then, he was mocked by a young man in this small place, which made Duncan Wei furious. "Hey kid, I showed respect for Uncle Wei, but don't think I really dare not to challenge you?"
Fade Chen sneered and said, "You're challenging with me? You seem to have forgotten how your wrist was broken."
"You... I was careless that day and was attacked by you. Otherwise, I." Duncan Wei was so furious that the face turned red and defended herself.
The dispute drew the attention of Thomas Qiao and Jimmy Wei.
Thomas Qiao glanced at Fade Chen and showed a look of dissatisfaction. Then he asked Duncan Wei, "Duncan, what's happening?"
Duncan Wei glared at Fade Chen angrily and said, "Master, Fade Chen is too arrogant. I was helping to set up the bodyguards here, but he came over and started gesticulating at them. After a while, he said that these bodyguards were all rubbish and useless. Later, he said that you are incapable of defeating the enemy."
"He even said it without shame that, Master, even you are not his opponent!" Duncan Wei said in an exaggerated tone and told the story.
Hearing this, Thomas Qiao couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Fade Chen, snorted and said, "Hey boy, you don't like my setup? So tell me yourself, how is it arranged to ward off the enemy?"
Fade Chen shook his head and said, "With these people, no matter how they set up, they can't defeat the enemy?"
Thomas Qiao sneered and said, "After all, it turns out to be just a guy who talks crap. Everyone can say that, but not everyone has the ability to solve the problem."
Fade Chen was not affected by Thomas Qiao's sarcasm at all. He said, "I said that there are not enough people now, but I didn't say that I can't do it!"
"So, you have a backup plan?" Thomas Qiao said coldly with a tone full of sarcasm.
Fade Chen nodded and said, "I'm the one behind it. With my strength, I'm not afraid of the elite master of the yellow class!"
Thomas Qiao burst out laughter after hearing that. He looked at Jimmy Wei and said, "Jimmy Wei, you've heard this too. A kid who hasn't even grown up, just said that we can't defeat the enemy. Now he said that he's here, there's no need to fear enemies. This is the first time I've heard such a funny joke!"
Chapter 134
Jimmy Wei smiled awkwardly, he could not ridicule Fade Chen with Thomas Qiao. After all, Fade Chen was his wife's lifesaver. But he had nothing to say to help Fade Chen refute Thomas Qiao. He also thought that although Thomas Qiao's words were not pleasant, it was meaningful, what Fade Chen just said was too much.
Jimmy Wei softened his smile and said to Tom Wei in a low voice, "Take Fade into the house to rest. No matter what happens later, don't come out."
Tom Wei wanted to defend, but Fade Chen shook his head, nodded to Jimmy Wei, and then took the initiative to walk into the villa.
Upon seeing this, Tom Wei immediately followed.
Behind him, Duncan Wei satirized rudely, "Master Chen, when the enemy comes, we will count on your back-up!" Beside him, Thomas Qiao shook his head, looked at Wei Jimmy Wei and said with some dissatisfaction, "Brother Wei, although I am confident in my own strength, this time, after all, it is a master at the peak of the Yellow Class. We should take good care of our preparations, I don't want my arrangement to be disrupted."
Obviously, Thomas Qiao was very dissatisfied with Fade Chen's arrival.
Jimmy Wei had a request from others, so he could not say anything at this moment. He smiled apologetically and said, "Thomas Qiao, you have worked hard. This matter is really an accident.
While speaking, Jimmy Wei changed the topic to the enemy and asked with a worried look, "Brother Qiao, can we really deal with a master at the peak of the Yellow Class?"
Thomas Qiao said nothing but smiled.
His disciple, Duncan Wei, said at this moment. "Uncle Wei, don't be fooled by that kid's words. It's said that the gap between a master at the peak of the Yellow Class and a master at the late stage of the Yellow Class is very big. It's just a gap of a small realm. No matter how big it is, it can't be that much."
"What's more, my master is not much worse than a master at the peak of the Yellow Class. With these bodyguards arrangement, there is no problem to defeat the enemy."
Thomas Qiao also smiled confidently at Jimmy Wei and said, "Jimmy Wei, don't worry. The enemy of this time is nothing to be afraid of."
By hearing what they said, Jimmy Wei felt relieved and accompanied them to continue to arrange security work.
At this time, Tom Wei, who returned to the room, still felt somewhat indignant. "Fade Chen, the master and disciple just mocked you, why didn't you refute?"
Fade Chen smiled and said, "How can I do that? Fight with them or just argue with them? No matter what it's not good and this matter is related to the safety of your uncle after all."
"Did we really have no other choices but to let them mock us?" Tom Wei said unhappily.
Fade Chen leaned back on the sofa and said, "Don't worry. there is a chance. When the enemy comes, I will naturally take action."
"Are you sure that Thomas Qiao and Duncan Wei are no match for the enemies? Tom Wei asked.
Fade Chen solemnly said, "Absolutely not."
As time went by, the sky was completely dark. A full moon rose up to the sky, scattering silver light to the earth. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be very quiet.
In the backyard of the villa, Thomas Qiao checked the security arrangements again, then sat on the chair and looked at the bright lights at the foot of the mountain with burning eyes.
Jimmy Wei sat next to Thomas Qiao, but his position had obviously been specially calculated and would not be directly attacked. It was also easy for Thomas Qiao to protect him.
It was late at night, but it was still quiet in the backyard of the villa. There was no movement and no trace of enemies could be seen at all.
Duncan Wei, who was a little impatient, couldn't help muttering when saw the situation. "Is that guy a liar? He won't come at all or he was scared away when he found out my master was here."
Upon hearing this, Jimmy Wei torrent frowned and thought in his heart that it was impossible. He wanted to make a sound to remind Duncan Wei not to let down his guard.
At this moment, a burst of birds were startled and flew up from the trees beside the wall of the villa. They rushed to the night sky and formed black shadows under the bright moonlight.
Just as the shadow of the birds was shaking, a figure jumped high. Under the moonlight, the figure blended with the shadow of the birds, creating a different atmosphere of chill.
"He's coming here!" Thomas Qiao instantly reacted, bounced up from the chair, tensed his muscles, and stood up.
And at this moment, Jimmy Wei also got stunned. He stood up suddenly and looked at the black figure in the night sky.
The figure rose to the highest point of the air and then fell down like a big bird. The place where he landed was exactly the huge swimming pool inside the courtyard wall.
If he stepped into the swimming pool, he would definitely be affected.
So, Thomas Qiao waved his arm and gave signals to Duncan Wei. He ordered the bodyguards to prepare to take action and to start immediately when the figure falls into the swimming pool.
But just as the black shadow was about to fall into the pool, their eyes narrowed and their faces turned serious. The black shadow landed on the surface of the pool, but he did not fall into the water as they expected. Instead, he stepped gently on the surface of the water and rushed over directly.
Seeing this, Thomas Qiao's face changed and he said in a serious tone, "The opponent's strength is stronger than I expected. I'm afraid that he has entered the peak of the Yellow Class for several years."
Hearing this, Jimmy Wei's face changed and became more gloomy.
On the contrary, the black shadow landed on the grass. He looked around and said, "Jimmy Wei, I haven't seen you for so many years. I didn't expect that the brave elder brother Long has turned into a coward!"
Jimmy Wei frowned and he was dissatisfied, but he did not say anything. Instead, he stared at the man in front of him with furious eyes. The man looked in his forties. He was not tall, but his face was covered with seven or eight horrible scars.
The scars crawled on his face like centipedes, making him look gloomy and horrible, with more terrible temperament.
"Jimmy Wei is under my protection. If you leave now, I won't attack you!" Thomas Qiao took a step forward and looked at the black shadow in front of him in a deep voice. He tightened his arms and seemed ready to attack at any time.
Behind Thomas Qiao, Duncan Wei, with several bodyguards in black, was also ready at this moment, nervously staring at the black shadow less than ten meters away.
The black shadow laughed disdainfully and said, "You expect that you are able to defeat me with your level! Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
The muscles on Thomas Qiao's face twitched a few times, and he looked furious.
Chapter 135
When he saw his master humiliated, Duncan Wei jumped out from behind him. Pointing at the black figure, he directly yelled, "How dare you scold my master! You are looking for death!"
"Arrogant boy!" The black figure heard the words and his voice suddenly became cold. He directly stood where he was and slapped him hard.
Suddenly, everyone felt a black shadow flashed in front of them, and then with a crisp sound, Duncan Wei's whole body was directly slapped to the ground, and a red hand print appeared on his face.
Duncan Wei had never been humiliated like this. He got angry and stood up from the ground. Pointing at the black figure angrily, he shouted to the bodyguard behind him, "Shoot him! Shoot him to death!"
Suddenly, the black- clothed bodyguard moved and stretched his arm to his waist, ready to pull out the pistol to shoot the black figure.
But at this moment, the black figure moved at a much faster speed.
He shook his wrist slightly, and a silver light flashed in his hand. Immediately, the black figure swayed and rushed into the bodyguard crowd. The silver light drew an arc with the black figure and passed through the crowd, bringing screams.
In less than a few seconds, the black figure returned to the distance.
At this time, Thomas Qiao and Jimmy Wei heard a miserable howl behind them. They turned their heads and saw the bodyguards who were ready to shoot with guns covered their wrists and fell to the ground painfully.
Their hands, which were ready to hold guns, were cut off from their wrists, and blood gushed out.
Looking at the black figure again, under the bright moonlight, it could be vaguely distinguished that the silver light in his hand was a small sharp blade. Under the silver moonlight, the blade was shining with cold light. The slowly falling blood at the tip of the blade made everyone feel a chill from the heart.
The black figure slightly turned his wrist, and the blade disappeared without a trace. He said in a low voice, "Jimmy Wei, I follow the rules of the underworld and seek revenge on you. But you break the rules and take the shot. You are looking for trouble."
Jimmy Wei's heart trembled, and then he said angrily, "Kevin Huang, since you're here, why don't you take revenge?"
The black figure named Kevin Huang smiled and shook his head. He looked at Jimmy Wei and said, "Jimmy Wei, it seems that after so many years of a comfortable life, you have lost the passion you used to have!"
All of a sudden, he said in a low voice with coldness and endless hatred, "Jimmy Wei, I thought it was enough to kill you alone. But since you broke the rules and started shooting, don't blame me for being rude."
Jimmy Wei's heart skipped a beat. "Kevin Huang, what on earth do you want to do?"
Kevin Huang sneered and said, "Jimmy Wei, do you need me to make it clear? You have a wife, a daughter, and a nephew. Do you need me to tell you their names one by one?"
Hearing this, Jimmy Wei's face changed greatly. He was anxious and rushed out and shouted, "Kevin Huang, Take you revenge only on me, it's none of my family's business. Don't touch them!"
"It's none of their business?" Kevin Huang snorted, "My brother was killed by you, and my sister-in-law and nephew died because of this. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you tell me not to kill your family?"
Jimmy Wei quickly said, "I know the rules of the underworld. Don't let our mistakes drag our families. Your sister-in-law and nephew, I didn't do anything to them back then."
Kevin Huang sneered and said, "Do you think I will believe your words? Even if you didn't kill them directly, they died because of you!"
At that time, Edwin Huang, who was Kevin Huang's eldest brother, fought with Jimmy Wei for territory, but was eventually defeated and killed by Jimmy Wei. At that time, Jimmy Wei did not touch his wife and children, but sent them to another city to live in seclusion.
However, Edwin Huang's enemy was not only Jimmy Wei alone. After knowing Edwin Huang's death, his enemy secretly found his wife and children and killed them. It was too late for Jimmy Wei to send people there after hearing the news.
For this matter, he felt that he had a clear conscience. But he also knew that no matter how he explained, the heart of Kevin Huang was filled with hatred, it was just an excuse.
The explanation was useless. At this moment, a fight was inevitable.
Jimmy Wei jittery roared, directly facing the black figure, and said in a low voice, "Kevin Huang, I know that you have had some adventures over the years, and your strength has made great progress. But I, Jimmy Wei, am not idle. If that's it, then let's fight!"
Kevin Huang sneered and said, "Fight! With your level? It's just a dead end!"
Jimmy Wei didn't expect that Kevin Huang would ignore him so recklessly. He couldn't help but be angry.
At this moment, Thomas Qiao snorted and stood up. He looked at the black figure and said in a low voice, "What about involving me?"
While speaking, Thomas Qiao did not hide his strength but burst out an internal force and stirred up a strong wind in the backyard of the villa.
Duncan Wei also stood up at this moment. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and cheered for his master, "Master, beat that guy to death."
The combination of Thomas Qiao and Jimmy Wei, two mature masters at the late- stage of Yellow Class, this strength was almost invincible in Bay City.
But at this moment, when the black figure saw this, the sneer at the corner of his mouth did not fade away. Instead, it became stronger. "Jimmy Wei, is this the helper you invited? With such strength, you want to fight with me. It seems that you really know nothing about strength!"
"Arrogant!" Thomas Qiao shouted and took the lead to attack the black shadow. With a heavy punch, he slammed the black figure with a strong wind.
On the other side, Jimmy Wei also moved. His legs were very good. He swept out and fiercely swept the black figure's waist.
Obviously, they had gone through some training, but when they cooperated with each other at this moment, they actually had a tacit understanding and had a good momentum.
But at this moment when the black figure, Kevin Huang, saw this scene, he shook his head with a sneer and said, "What a cheap trick!"
"You're courting death!"
Thomas Qiao had the strength of the advanced stage of the yellow level. He was respected as a master and treated respectfully whenever he went. He had never been ignored like this, hence, he couldn't help but be furious. With the whistling wind of his fists, he exerted 100% of his strength and smashed fiercely to the face of the black figure.
At the same time, Jimmy Wei gritted his teeth and used all his strength. He widened his eyes and fiercely swept toward Kevin Huang's waist.
As they were about to attack Kevin Huang, he moved and flashed.
But he didn't dodge, instead, he directly rushed up against the two men's attack. He stretched out his hands to grab Thomas Qiao's arm and at the legs of Jimmy Wei. "Ignorance, let me show you the strength of a master at the peak of the Yellow Level!"
