Chapter 348


    When Francesca Sun saw the delicate warm jade pendant in Fade Chen''s hand, she thought of the


    jade pendant that had been sealed in the box in her study for a long time. She instantly thought of


    the beautiful woman, and her face turned pale instantly. "How, how did you get this?"she asked.


    "How did I get this jade pendant?" Fade snorted. "Isn''t this the jade pendant that Quin brought to the


    Sun family when she asked for help that time?"


    "In the end, the Sun familypletely forgot about your previous promise. Not only did you not help


    her, but you also tried to force Quin to remain there. Is this how the Sun family returns a favor?"


    Fade asked angrily.


    Francesca trembled all over, as if she couldn''t believe what was happening in front of her. She


    shook her head desperately and said, "No, it''s impossible. She, she is already dead. It''s impossible


    for her to return. It''s impossible!"


    "Don''t tell me that the Sun family''s promise doesn''t count when the other person is dead. Can''t you


    repay the favor you owed?" Fade said coldly.


    "A favor, a promise!" Francesca muttered these words and shook her head desperately. There was


    a determined light in her eyes as she said, "No, no, I don''t owe her anything. She didn''t ask me for a


    favor, so I don''t owe her anything."


    "Is that so?" Fade asked coldly.


    "Of course!" Francesca replied. She was so agitated that she felt slightly insane at this moment. "I


    have already returned the things that she gave me. I have been a servant for so many years and


    was controlled by her like a dog. I have already returned her the reward that was not worth


    mentioning,"she added.


    "A reward that is not worth mentioning?" Fade sneered. "You seem to have forgotten how you got


    your current strength. Without that person, how could you, a neglected member of the Sun Family,


    suddenly rose to power? How could you have returned to the Sun Family and be the top


    master in Long City?"he continued.


    "She helped me slightly in the beginning, and the rest is all through my own efforts. All this has


    nothing to do with her," Francesca shouted, with a hint of agitation in her eyes. "I became stronger


    now and I am the most powerful person in Long City. I am no longer afraid of her and I am no longer


    a servant to anyone,"she added.


    "Moreover, she is already dead. Who knows whether the jade pendant is hers or not. Even if she


    personally returned with the jade pendant, I will no longer be her servant and will no longer be


    controlled by her. I am now more powerful than her," Francesca shouted excitedly.


    Fade shook his head and said coldly, "It seems to me that you don''t know who is the person that


    you served in the past?"


    "Who is she?" Francesca asked. She was stunned, and then said, "Isn''t she just a martial- artist?


    She is probably just atestage ck Level expert. I was too weak at that time, so when I followed


    her, I felt that she was so powerful. But now, I am the top master in Long City. Who is she then?"


    "You are ignorant, but you still act like you know everything. Look at this jade pendant carefully!"


    Fade said as he threw the jade pendant over.


    Francesca held the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. She soon discovered that it was different


    from the jade pendant in her box. This jade pendant was carved with exquisite patterns of stars and


    the moon on both sides of the pendant.


    The pattern was very delicate and ancient, but Francesca felt that it was foreign. She was not


    familiar with this pattern. "What is this? Don''t try to carve a few things and lie to me,"she said.


    "Lie to you?" Fade sneered and shook his head. "It seems that you, the top master in Long City,


    have lost your mind after all these years. You don''t even know the symbol of the Wushuang


    Tower?"he asked.


    "Wushuang Tower? What Wu..." Francesca said. Then, she suddenly thought of something and was


    shocked. Her face was full of surprise as she said, "You, you''re talking about the Wushuang Tower,


    one of the four great Heaven- Level forces? No, this is impossible. The symbol of Wushuang Tower


    is not like this. You''re lying to me."


    Fade said coldly, "The Wushuang Tower has changed its symbol 20 years ago and it has been


    simplified. This symbol is the symbol of the old Wushuang Tower and it is an elite symbol that only


    disciples from the inner circle can wear."


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "Therefore, the person you followed at that time is at least an inner disciple of the Wushuang


    Tower," Fade said, He looked at Francesca and said, "Now, do you still think that the favor she gave


    you is a small reward? Do you still think that being her servant is a shame?"


    "This, this... is impossible,and this can''t be true," Francesca said. She found it hard to believe what


    she had just heard. "She, how could she be a member of the Wushuang Tower? This..."she


    continued.


    Francesca was a little confused. It was known that, for the top Heaven-Level forces like the


    Wushuang Tower, any ordinary disciple would be a talented person that powerful forces would fight


    over to recruit. Many seniors and masters in the martial-arts world would even volunteer to be a


    servant of these ordinary disciples, hoping to receive some guidance and care from them.


    That was just an ordinary disciple, not to mention the disciples of the inner circle of Wushuang


    Tower. That woman was definitely an elite member, and any one of these members would be an


    Earth-level expert.


    Even if someone were to be a servant, a ve or even a dog to such a master, many people


    would be willing to do so.


    Francesca was guided by such a master when she was ignorant. This was something that many


    people were eager to have.


    At this time, Francesca thought of the training methods that this woman had taught her and the


    herbs that she had given her. She realized the amazing situation she had encountered. How could


    she have advanced by leaps and bounds in her middle-age? It turned out that this was due to the


    strength of a top force.


    At this moment, Francesca recalled her unwillingness to respect her and her selfconfidence.


    Suddenly, she felt a jolt in her heart. She felt ridiculous and horrible.


    Francesca''s so-called strength, the title of the so-called No.1 master in Long City, and the so-called


    power of the Sun Family were not worth mentioning at all in that person''s eyes. Her existence was


    just like an ant.


    Francesca didn''t want to believe all these facts. Suddenly, her brain seemed to be triggered and she


    thought of something. She shook her head crazily as if she was trying to grasp at straws. "No, this is


    not true. You made this all up. You are lying to me. You must be lying to me,"she said.


    "Otherwise, there is no way for you to exin why such a strong woman, who was a disciple in the


    inner circle of the Wushuang Tower, had died without any news. Wushuang Tower also did not


    mention anything about a investigation on this matter. This is impossible, and it doesn''t make any


    sense. So, you must be lying," Francesca shouted wildly.


    "Dead?" Fade said. He frowned slightly, and he could not help but tremble at the thought of his wife,


    Quin Lin. However, he shook his head and said, "I don''t know what happened to her. But I''m not


    lying to you about this


    matter."


    "No, you must be lying, you..." Francesca was still denying it. She didn''t want to believe that the


    person she was trying her best to reject would turn out to be a disciple of the Wushuang Tower.


    Fade did not exin anything. He directly took out a jade pendant and asked, "This logo has not


    changed. You should recognize it, right?"
