Chapter 628


    Fade left Green Peace Lake with Mnie, for the Martial Arts Convention had ended.


    The results of the convention spread through the media quickly.


    In the end, it was the headline of every martial arts news portal that Fade had severely injured


    Yohannes.


    Of course, there were also many rted news reports about some other incidents that urred


    during the Martial Arts Convention. The news reporters were particrly concerned about


    Yohannes'' use of his bone token. As it was controversial, they wrote a lot of articles about it.


    That day, Fade brought Mnie back to the hotel. Afterforting her, he sat opposite her and


    said, "Sister Mnie, can you tell me what happened this time?"


    Things were strange since Mnie came to Long City. After all, in the beginning, Mnie arrived to


    sign a contract with Winnie Huo on thetter''s endorsement by Emerald Plum Jewels.


    Butter, Mnie invited Fade to have a meal privately. The appearance of Qiana and


    Yohannes implied that there was more to it.


    Now that Fade had asked about it, Mnie sighed. Then, she exined to Fade slowly, "Fade, I


    believe you''ve investigated it as well. I''m from the Westamor District. I''m from the Yu family."


    Fade nodded. Indeed, he had investigated the Yu family and the Yue family. "The Yu family is a


    business family in Westamor District, and the Yue family is the first martial arts family in Westamor


    District," he contended.


    "Yes," Mnie agreed. "The Yu family rose in the Westamor District through business. However,


    without the support of any martial arts force, the Yu family is considered inferior to the powerful


    martial arts families," she added.

    "As the Yu family grewrger in the Westamor District, the other families and ns in Westamor


    District, especially the martial arts families and ns, tried to take the Yu family down through


    various means. Some were disguised as cooperation, some directly threatened, and some


    attempted to assassinate us."


    "However, the Yu family is not weak, and the other families and ns were not courageous enough


    to go too far. Hence, we have been safe for quite a number of years."


    "But things changed half a year ago," Mnie grunted as her face fell.


    Fade could not help but frown, his brows were knitted together.


    Mnie added, "Our family has been doing business for so many years, and our business has


    expanded all over the country. Among them, the headquarters of our most important jewelry


    business is set up in Capital City."


    "But half a year ago, due to business conflict, ourpany offended a big shot in Capital City. He


    pressured ourpany so much that Emerald Plum Jewels and the other Yu family businesses


    were all affected," she said.


    "He has coerced us into handing over forty percent of our shares to him. Otherwise, he will not let


    us go easily as he is capable of destroying the Yu family all by himself," she uttered.


    "Forty percent of the shares is almost half of our family''s property. Naturally, the family did not


    agree. However, the Yu family has no resistance to his threats in Capital City," she said. Frowning,


    Mnie continued, "It was right at this moment that the Yue family came to us. They said that they


    have the power to help us resolve this matter, and we will have to pay them the price."


    "The price is you, Sister Mnie, Am I right?"


    Fade said as he stared at Mnie.


    With quivering eyebrows, she replied after a few seconds of silence, "Yes, it''s me. Yohannes, the


    next-in-line to the Master of the Yue family, was widowed in his early years. And he said that he has


    a crush on me.


    "As long as I marry him, the Yue family will be willing to help us resolve the threat of the big shot in


    Capital City," she exined.


    As she said this, Mnie couldn''t help but take a deep breath. Her eyes were teary, yet they were


    glowing with fury and agony. "Yohannes is already in his fifties, and he is more than 20 years older


    than I am. He is almost the same age as my father. In addition to that, there are many rumours


    about him being a yboy," she whispered.


    "Of course I won''t agree to this marriage," she stressed.


    "However, after the elders of the family evaluated the threat of that big shot in Capital City and


    following the request of Yohannes, they decided to marry me to him," she said. As she said this,


    Mnie ridiculed herself with a bitter smile. "Yeah,pared to forty percent of the family''s


    property, it is more beneficial to them for me to marry an old uncle. At least, it won''t be a great loss."


    "As a result, my family has confined me at home. My aunt, Qiana, keeps an eye on me at all times.


    She wants to send me to Yohannes'' bed in good condition," Mnie uttered despondently.


    Fade felt distressed when he caught sight of Mnie''s agonised look. He reached out his hand to


    hold Mnie''s hand tofort her. "Sister Mnie, as long as I''m here, I won''t let the others force


    you to do something you don''t want to do."


    Fade''s assurance made Mnie smile. She replied, "Thank you for your assurance."


    Fade was serious. He held Mnie''s hand tighter and said, "Sister Mnie, this is not just an


    assurance. I will do it."


    "1-1 believe you!" Mnie nced at Fade who looked solemn, and her heart skipped a beat. She


    felt a pang of warmth, so she smiled and nodded at him.


    At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was Francesca. "Master Chen, We have brought


    Yohannes back. When do you want to interrogate him?" she asked.


    When it came to Yohannes, Fade couldn''t help but think of the incidents rted to the Skull Mob.


    Hence, his expression darkened.


    Noticing his reaction, Mnie got up and said, "You go ahead. I''ll leave now."


    Fade took Mnie''s hand and said, "Sister Mnie, are you going back? But the Yu family and the


    Yue family are treating you..."


    Mnie replied him with a faint smile, "Don''t worry, it''s not very serious. Although they forced me to


    marry him, I''m not a prisoner. They won''t do anything to me. Besides, Yohannes is here with you so


    I can''t marry him anyway. There are still some things that I need to deal with in regards to my family


    business."


    "Well, I''ll ask someone to send you back," Fade said. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded


    as he urged, "Sister Mnie, if anything happens to you, just let me know!"


    "I know." Mnie nodded with a smile.


    Then, she walked over to Fade, held his head, and pressed her red lips against his lips. "Fade,


    thank you," she whispered.


    After giving him a warm kiss, Mnie waved at Fade and said, ''Tm leaving. This is a token of


    appreciation."


    After that, Mnie strode out of the room.
