Chapter 274


    On the same day, Fade Chen told his close friends that he was leaving town. In the evening, he had


    a special candlelight dinner with his wife, to say farewell to her.


    The next day, Fade packed some things and left with Master Xie.


    Fade left Bay City without thinking too much about the consequences, but many people


    misunderstood his intentions.


    Some people spected that Fade was worried about the revenge of the Third River n, so he


    left Bay City to avoid the enemy. Some people also said that Fade had gone to find a secluded


    ce to train, and improve his strength.


    No matter what the reasons were behind his departure, Fade caused many people to feel anxious.


    Amongst them was his wife, Quin Lin, who was feeling panicked.


    Although Quin did not express her feelings when she learned about the division of levels between


    the martial-artists, the skill level of the ck Level, and the strength of the Third River n, she


    could not help but be greatly


    shocked.


    Initially, she had thought that Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc hadrge business operations at Bay


    City, and its assets were worth billions of dors. Also it was constantly expanding. Even if she


    couldn''t go against these martial-arts forces, she should have the ability to negotiate with them.


    But after analyzing the matter in detail, she realized that she was being naive.


    No matter how rich she was and how much her business expanded, without any defense or


    protection from martial-artists, she would just attract others who wanted to snatch her business. She


    had no ability to fight back at all.


    For example, it was definitely not a difficult task for a ck Level n like the Third River n to


    destroy Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.


    At this time, Quin finally understood why the top enterprises in Long City and Capital City had close


    rtionships with martial- arts families or established their own defense forces.


    Quin understood this matter, but when she thought of how Fade was about to face Saga He''s


    attack,she could not help but worry for Fade .Saga was one of the leaders of the Third River n.


    Fade had told her that he was not afraid of the Third River n before he left Bay City, but she still


    felt anxious.


    Quin believed that Fade was just boasting in front of her.


    Thinking of this, Quin was worried. Her heart was filled with anxiety. She kept thinking of ways she


    could help Fade .


    It seemed to her that as a weak businesswoman, there was no room for her to intervene in the


    affairs of these martial-artists.


    Just as Quin was lost in her thoughts, an idea suddenly shed across her mind. She seemed to


    recall something from a long time ago. "Martial-arts skills, martial-arts family. If I remember correctly,


    mother gave me a jade pendant before she left. She told me that if there was any trouble, I can use


    the jade pendant to look for someone in Long City for help."


    "Yes, that''s it. This jade pendant definitely exists," Quin thought to herself. She became excited and


    began to rummage around the mansion.


    After searching for four hours in the spacious mansion, Quin finally found an ancientlooking jade


    pendant from a pile of random items. It was green in colour.


    She wiped the jade pendant, cleansed it, and held it in her hand. Quin noticed that there was the


    sign of an antique wooden building carved on both sides of the jade pendant. Above the small


    building, there was a moon illuminating it, and there were stars surrounding it.


    Before this, Quin didn''t understand much about the jade pendant. She didn''t observe it carefully, so


    she didn''t think that there was anything special about it. But now, as Quin gazed at it and held it in


    her hand, she instantly felt that this pendant was unusual.


    The jade pendant looked very ordinary, just like one of the cheap goods that cost only a hundred


    yuan or so. But when she held it in her hand, she felt an unusual warmth. It seemed to her like a


    ball of warm water in her hand. Moreover, a faint fragrance seemed to rise from it, which caused


    Quin to feel excited.


    At the same time, she took a closer look at the carved pattern on the jade pendant. The lines were


    delicate and clear, without any deviation. Even the corners fitted tightly together without any errors.


    Seeing this, Quin was shocked. She said to herself, "This jade pendant is definitely not an ordinary


    item. My mother was telling the truth when she asked me to take this jade pendant to Long City to


    ask for help. After all, only a powerful martial-arts family will possess this kind of jade pendant!"

    As she thought of this, a glimmer of hope rose in Quin''s heart, and a faint smile appeared on the


    corner of her lips. She immediately called her secretary and said, "I''ll be going to Dragonville of


    Long City tomorrow. Please reschedule everything that I''ve nned to do, and send me the


    timetable."


    After the call, Quin began to pack up and get ready.


    At this time, Fade and Master Xie had already arrived at the ce where Master Xie had found


    wooden branches from the Sacred Fig Tree.


    This was a town in the county. It was not a rich town, but it was surrounded by hills, mountains and


    rivers. It was quite a beautiful ce. In recent years, the tourism industry here was constantly


    developing, and the poprity of this town rose.


    The ce Fade and Master Xie were headed to was still a distance away from the town. It was


    located in a forest at the back of the mountain.


    Cars and such vehicles could not be used around this area. Fade and Master Xie bought some


    items and started walking into the forest.


    They were both strong, so it was not a problem for them to walk around the mountainous area. In


    just two hours, they passed through the area that had been developed for tourism purposes and


    they reached the back of the mountain. The number of people around them decreased drastically.


    After stopping, Master Xie observed the surrounding environment and pointed to the ridge of the


    mountain in front of him. He said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, our destination is behind the ridge. There is a


    valley there. I found the wooden branches of the Sacred Fig Tree at the entrance of the valley."


    Then, Master Xie pointed to the other side.There were noises and various sounds indicating the


    mechanical construction going on. "They are going to build a tourist resort here, which is less than


    three kilometers from the valley. It will only take two hours to climb over the hill, but I''m afraid that


    they will discover us in advance, so..."


    Fade nodded and said, "Well done. After this incident, I will remove the poison from your body."


    "Yes, yes! Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Master Xie said, and he was thrilled.


    "Let''s go!" Both of them continued their trip.


    However, in less then ten minutes of traveling, they suddenly heard loud sounds in the forest ahead.


    Immediately, they stopped and looked in that direction.


    In the forest, there was a group of people who were wearing suits and leather shoes. They were


    holding sticks in their hands and shouting intensely, looking extremely nervous.


    At this time, a huge wild boar appeared in front of them. It looked like it weighed at least 300


    pounds, and it was roaring at the people. It let out a muffled groan, as though it was disturbed by


    their movements and voices.


    These people were obviously unfamiliar with the forest. At this moment, they were very nervous as


    they had encountered this angry wild boar. They did not retreat. Instead, they held the sticks tightly


    in their hands and waved them constantly. At the same time, they shouted in terror.
