Chapter 589
"Later on, the development of the Martial Arts Convention continued to evolve until today. The
martial artsmunities in various ces also gradually stabilized. Therefore, the significance of
the Martial Arts Convention of the five provinces shifted from the distribution of benefits to a
tform for martial artsmunities to exchange skills and for the younger generation topete.
Of course, if there are major conflicts of interest, they would also resolve it at the Martial Arts
Convention."
After listening to that, Fade Chen understood the significance of the Martial Arts Convention of the
five provinces. At first, it was a fierce battle for territory, but now it gradually evolved into a social
event.
This was not a bad thing for martial artists. After all, a martial artist needed to exchange skills and
learn from each other in order to make progress.

Francesca Sun looked at Fade and continued, "This kind of event is held every three years. This
time it''s Long City''s turn to organise it. As a local representative, our family is responsible for
hosting the Martial Arts Convention of the five provinces. Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions
for this convention?"
Fade replied, "I don''t know matters rted to the convention. You should handle it."
"Yes!" Francesca nodded and continued to speak cautiously, "Most of the time, during the Martial
Arts Convention, the juniors from different martial artsmunities will exchange skills and learn
from each other. I''m afraid my Sun family''s juniors are not capable enough. Therefore, during this
period of time, I''ve gathered all the young generation of my family to undergo special training."
Fade heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He understood why Francesca was so cautious.
Because of the conflict between him and the Sun family, he had severely injured numerous middle-
level martial artists from the Sun family, resulting in theck of members with mid-level strength.
Hence, Francesca had no choice but to gather juniors to undergo special training.
Thinking of this, Fade said, "Is that the reason why you asked Shinnie to take leave for the sake of
the Martial Arts Convention?"
Francesca nodded and said, "Shinnie got talent in martial arts talent, but she has not been very
interested in martial arts. I don''t want to force her to practice martial arts, however, her strength is
just not up to par. If she goes out for the match, I am afraid she can''t even protect herself.
Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to improve her skills."
"You''re right about this. It''s a good idea to be stronger," Fade nodded. Then he thought of
something and continued, "The Martial Arts Convention of the five Long City is the first thing you
wanted to tell me. What is the second thing?"
Francesca looked at Fade and said, "The second thing is, Mr. Chen, you asked me to investigate
the Skull Mob."
"The Skull Mob!" Hearing these three words, Fade''s gaze froze and he had a strange expression in
his eyes. He recalled the encounter he had with Quin in Fuma Town.
That time, a group of people with skull masks took advantage of the news about Jeremy Lin to
kidnap Quin. The incident left asting impression on Fade.
"What clues did you manage to find?" Fade asked intently.
Francesca said, "There are not many clues. I managed to find something by coincidence some time
ago. It is said that a group of men in ck with skull masks appeared in a mountain area in the
neighboring city. They hide during the day and onlye out at night. The ordinary people usually
don''t see them nor know what these people are doing. It was by chance that a local resident took a
picture of them. That''s how I knew where they were!"
While speaking, Francesca handed Fade a photo.
Fade took the photo and looked at it. The photo was not very clear, one could only make out a few
dark shadows behind the trees vaguely. However, Fade recognized them at a nce. The masks
that the dark shadows wore were the skull masks that he had seen in Fuma Town. In the middle of
the mask was a little green bud pattern.
"That''s them!" Fade said coldly, "Where is the exact location? I need to go and have a look."
Francesca handed the map immediately and pointed out the location for him.
He nodded and said with all seriousness, "Please look after things in Long City. I''ll go over there
and have a look."
"Yes!" Francesca nodded and then said, "Mr. Chen, please bring Shinnie along with you!"
"Bring Shinnie along?" Fade frowned and looked at Francesca.
Francesca exined quickly, "Shinnie used to stay there for a while, so she is more familiar with
Longxu City. She may be able to help you there. At the same time, I wish to request you to take
Shinnie along to help her gain experience."
Fade was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. Let Shinnie get ready then. We''ll
embark in two hours!"
"Okay!" Francesca nodded, then sent him off.
Francesca looked after Fade as he left and murmured softly, "Shinnie, I''ve tried my best to create
opportunities for you. I hope you can take the opportunity to leave a good impression in Mr. Chen''s
heart."
After that, Francesca turned around and called Shinnie over to give her some advice.
Fade went home and told his wife about the matter. Then he met up with Shinnie and set off for
Longxu City immediately.
Soon, the two arrived at Longxu City. As the location where they discovered the Skull Mob was in
the mountain area, Fade and Shinnie couldn''t enter the area directly. They had to find other means
of transportation to go up the mountain after arriving in the city area.
It took them more than half a day to get there, and it was already evening when they reached the
city area.
Fade thought it was ratherte, and he wasn''t in a hurry. Therefore, he booked a hotel in Longxu
City to rest for a night and nned to continue the journey the next day.
After leaving their luggage in the hotel, they went downstairs for dinner.
The journey was really exhausting. They ordered many dishes and started to gobble up their meals.
Even the usually elegant Shinnie was eating greedily at the moment.
Just as they were eating, they heard a surprised exmation. "Shinnie Sun, is that you?"
Shinnie was busy eating when she heard the sound. She wiped the corner of her mouth before she
turned around. She saw a girl in her twenties with long hair standing beside her and looking at her
with delight.
"You are..." Shinnie looked at the girl but did not recognize her for a while.
Seeing this, the girl pointed at herself and said with a smile, "Shinnie, I am Fynna Yuan. Don''t you
remember me?"
Shinnie suddenly came to a realization when she heard the name. She smiled and said, "Fynna, it''s
you. I''m sorry that I didn''t recognize you for a while."
"It''s okay. After all, we haven''t seen each other for years," Fynna said to her while smiling.
Then her eyes fell on Fade, who was next to Shinnie. She couldn''t help but turn her eyes over and
said, "Shinnie, is this your boyfriend? I remember that you once told me that your dream man must
be tall and handsome with high literacy and skills in martial arts."
"Fynna!" Shinnie blushed when she heard this. She quickly waved and interrupted her words. Then
she exined, "Fynna, this is Fade Chen, my...my friend."
