Chapter 353
"At that time, Lazzaro Zhan went to the Capital City to participate in apetition among all the
special task forces. He represented the Wild Dragon Special Task Force. His results were amazing.
He passed all the tests,until he was defeated by the royal guard of the Capital City in the semi-
finals."
"After thispetition, Lazzaro felt that he had no more room for improvement in the army.
Therefore, he rejected the rank of general granted by his superiors and quit the army."
"At that moment, many people, including myself, thought that Lazzaro had left the army in order to
take over leadership of the Zhan family. After all, Lazzaro was a shining star of sess, and
nothing posed any obstacle to him. His reputation and strength among the younger generation of
soldiers were unmatched."
"Even if he was not an important family member, he won over the hearts of many senior members in
the Zhan family. They tried their best to rmend Lazzaro as the patriarch of the Zhan family."
Hearing his words, Quintus Zhan''s mother
couldn''t help but feel excited yet regretful. She said, "It would have been great if he had epted
the arrangements of the senior family members at that time, and became the patriarch of the Zhan
family. With your close rtionship with him, your current status in the family would have improved
a lot. We wouldn''t have found ourselves in such a quandary. Even when your son was crippled, not
a single member from the family was willing to take the lead to avenge Quintus."
When Quintus''s father heard his wife broaching this subject, he quickly changed the topic of
discussion. "I''m talking about Lazzaro, so why bring my position in the family into this conversation?
Besides, it may be a good thing that Lazzaro didn''t ept the position as the patriarch of the Zhan
family. After all, with his personality, he can''t remain idle. If he was really appointed to be the
patriarch of the family, I''m afraid that the oue would not be positive,"he said.
"Then, where did he go after that?" Quintus''s mother asked.
Quintus''s father said, " Lazzaro is the kind of person who can''t remain idle. He is aggressive in
nature and will constantly pursue progress in his martial- arts skills. Therefore, during the time he
was home for three months, he challenged all the warriors in South Hanover City, and defeated
them all." "He was only in his early twenties at that time, but he had already reached the peak of the
Yellow Level. He was one of the top masters among all the martial- artists in South Hanover City."
"He''s so powerful!" Quintus''s mother said, and she was impressed by Lazzaro.
Quintus''s father continued, "As he had no rivals in the martial-arts circle, Lazzaro felt that these so-
called traditional martial-arts were just deceptive tricks. For him, they were not useful in actual
combat. Therefore, he decided to venture out and learn some practical skills that were valuable in
actualbat, also improving his strength in the process as well."
"He traveled abroad. At first, he went to challenge various masters and studied martial-arts of
various countries in Southeast Asia. Later, he went to Europe and participated in the Underground
Boxing Circle championship, and became a famous master there."
"After that, he traveled around North America and South America, leaving his footprints around the
world. As a result, he has wandered around the world for more than ten years. Then, he felt that his
pursuit was no longer meaningful, so he decided to put himself into life and death situations and test
his survival skills."
"Therefore, he went straight to the war zone of Africa and the Middle East, joined the army there
and trained himself on the battlefield to improve his strength. He pushed himself and improved his
strength in these dangerous situations."
"Now, he is finally back. I am looking forward to see how much he has improved in skill and
strength. I can''t wait to meet him again," Quintus''s father said excitedly.
Quintus''s mother was extremely surprised. "Isn''t he being too extreme!"she said.
Quintus''s father said in a low voice, "In the pursuit of strength and skill, Lazzaro can indeed be
described as extreme. However, his determination to improve himself caused him to be the
greatest warrior in the Zhan family. Even the retired senior leaders of the army keep singing the
praises of Lazzaro''s strength."
"What Level has he reached in the martial-arts? Can he defeat Fade Chen?" Quintus''s mother
asked. She was more concerned about whether his cousin could avenge their son.
Quintus''s father shook his head and said, "I haven''t seen him for many years. Wemunicated
asionally through letters or phone calls. I don''t know what Level he has reached."
"However, I am certain about something. Lazzaro''s strength is definitely powerful. After all, when he
was traveling through Europe, he had already reached the Middle-stage of the ck Level. Now, he
should have reached the Peak of the ck Level!"
Hearing his words, Quintus''s mother''s eyes lit up. "That means that he is almost at the same level
as Fade. There should be hope for him to defeat Fade,"she said.
His father gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, "Is Fade that strong? Lazzaro may be at the same
level as him, and even if Lazzaro were one level lower, Fade would not necessarily be a match for
Lazzaro. Lazzaro''s fighting skills have been sharpened due to his experiences with life and death
situations.He will be way stronger than the so- called martial-arts masters."
Quintus''s mother was instantly excited. "Great, great. There is finally hope for Quintus''s
revenge,"she said.
Quintus''s father said, "There is still one month before he returns. Don''t be impatient, and just wait
for him to arrive. During this period, your main task is to take good care of Quintus."Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
Quintus''s mother nodded and said, "He is our only son. Of course, I will be responsible for taking
care of him. You should also research on this matter, gather more information and recruit some
allies during this period of time. After all, the chances of our victory will be higher if we have more
allies."
Quintus''s father was confident. He said, "Don''t worry. As long as Lazzaro returns, Fade will
definitely not be able to escape."
After that, Quintus''s father fixed his gaze at Dragonville, and his eyes revealed a piercing
expression.
At this time, Fade was also busy in Dragonville. As news of his victory against Francesca Sun
spread,many people came to him and fawned over him.He was after all the top master of Long City
now.
Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc expanded their businesses again. Fade was too busy to handle
everything on his own, so he asked the secretary of thepany, Lily Wei, who was in Bay City, to
come over and assist him.
Also, Fade had to deal with matters rted to the martial-arts. Many business transactions were
carried out due to Fade''s rtion to the martial-arts
Fade met ten groups of businessmen in the martial-arts circle who hade to visit him.
Thereafter, he rejected six groups of people who hade to learn martial-arts from him. Finally, he
rejected eight warriors who hade to challenge him. Then, he found some free time and had a
good rest.
Back in the office, Master Xie,or Lucas Xie, became Fade''s secretary during this period of time. He
served tea to Fade habitually and reported work-rted matters to him. Master Xie seemed suitable
for this job.
Moreover, he sometimes had to teach some invading martial-artists a lesson. They were there to
cause trouble, and he would throw them out of thepany.
