Chapter 749


    "Mr. Ann, If you''re unhappy with this arrangement, I''ll give up the Rudraksha tree," added Madam


    Jodie.


    Hearing this, Mr. Ann sneered, "The Rudraksha tree is nothing ifpared with the Nine Leaf Ice


    Flower. I am willing to give up the Rudraksha tree, can you give me the Nine Leaf Ice Flower


    instead?"


    Madam Jodie was sullen. She said, "No way. I must acquire the Nine Leaf Ice Flower."


    Sensing the brewing fight between both of them, Mr. Liu, the man in a short robe, quickly


    interrupted, "Mr. Ann, Madam Jodie, both of you are well-respected seniors in our region, and both


    the Dark Souls n and the Quiet Heart Monastery are famous sects in Southcloud District. Why


    are you both putting your reputation on the line by quarreling over such a trivial issue?"


    "I have a suggestion. Since there are nine petals in total, and we happened toe from three


    different parties. Why don''t we divide them equally, so that each of us gets three petals. Isn''t that


    brilliant?"


    However, as soon as Mr. Liu finished, Mr. Ann and


    Madam Jodie whipped their heads to Mr. Liu and said in unison, "Divide equally? No way!"


    Mr. Ann said in a low and threatening voice, "Mr. Liu, is the Liu family of Southcloud District trying to


    fight with the Dark Souls n?"


    Madam Jodie also shot Mr. Liu a death stare and said, "Our Quiet Heart Monastery is set on getting


    the Nine Leaf Ice Flower."


    Hearing this, Mr. Liu could not help but put on a bitter smile. He understood that the Liu family he


    came from was not on par with the Dark Souls n and the Quiet Heart Monastery in terms of


    power.


    Therefore, he came up with the proposal to divide the petals in equal. After all, that would be the


    best choice for him as the weakest party of the three.


    However, he did not expect his suggestion to be shot down outright as soon as he voiced his mind.


    It seemed that the duo was serious about the Nine Leaf Ice Flower, they were prepared to fight till


    the end. As for how many petals would be left for the Liu family in the end, Mr. Liu felt hopeless


    thinking about it.


    As Mr. Liu had gone silent, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie immediately moved their attention away from


    him. Mr. Ann red at Madam Jodie and said, "Madam Jodie, give it to me. The Dark Souls n


    will owe you a favor, and I will always remember your kindness."


    Shaking her head, Madam Jodie pressed on firmly. "Why don''t we do it the other way round? You


    give it to me, in return, I will remember your favor."


    The atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, as if they were about to break out into a fight any


    second now.


    But at this particr moment, a loud sneer came from their top and drifted into their ears without


    fail. "A group of stupid thieves, you haven''t manage to steal anything yet, but you''re already


    discussing on dividing the loot. This is ridiculous."


    Hearing this, the trio in the cave were thunderstruck. They bellowed in anxiety, "Who, who is


    talking?"


    "Who''s hiding there? Show yourself!"


    Meanwhile, their followers who were standing guards outside the cave, all rushed in and said in


    frenzied voices, "Oh no, that Aaron Xie is back, and he''s brought a man to aid him."


    "Aaron, that old man, he had the guts toe back?" Mr. Ann frowned.


    "An aid? What aid?" asked Madam Jodie.


    Right at this moment, two figures strode into the cave. They were none other than Fade Chen and


    Aaron Xie.


    The six people in the cave scrutinized the duo with squinted eyes. Then, their eyes fell on Fade and


    shouted to him, "Who are you?"


    Fade''s eyes were grave. He nced at them with a venomous look before shaking his head and


    said coldly, "What a gang of daring thieves. You stole my stuff, but you had no idea who I am?"


    Aaron also said in a deep voice, "This is Master Chen, who owns everything in the cave. Apologize


    for it right this instance, or else..."


    Without waiting for Aaron to finish, Mr. Ann sneered and interrupted him. Wearing a look of disdain,


    he said, "Aaron Xie, haven''t you learnt your lesson? Your nose is bloody and your face swollen.


    Such guts you have to being back again, I think you are seeking for your own demise!"


    Madam Jodie also guffawed. Her eyes fell on Fade. She snorted disdainfully and said, "You''re just a


    brat. How dare you speak so rudely to us? Do you know who we are?"


    Only Mr. Liu was eyeing Fade intensely. He frowned slightly and searched hard in his train of


    memory, but he couldn''t remember having seen this person before at all.


    After hearing their response, Fade''s face turned solemn. He shook his head and said in a cold


    voice, "Silly thieves. I don''t need to know who you are. Go to hell!"


    As he spoke, Fade''s anger exploded and initiated the attack.


    Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie merely sneered at him.


    "Arrogant boy, you don''t know what''s good for you. How dare you attack us! You are looking for


    death!"


    "Boy, are you the so-called Master Chen? Is that all you can do? Ridiculous!"


    While speaking, Mr. Ann wielded a stream of ck light toward Fade, which was akin to a sharp


    sword, charging toward Fade with incredible speed. On the other hand, Madam Jodie waved a


    beam of silver light at him, which transformed into dozens of silver needles that aimed to seal all of


    Fade''s Acupoints.


    Thebo technique of the duo''s signature moves was extraordinary indeed. Both Mr. Ann and


    Madam Jodie had achieved the middle stage of ck Level in martial arts, and they were both


    ranked as the top master of their respective districts.


    However, they were unfortunate to have met Fade as their opponent.


    "Break it!" At this moment, Fade didn''t care about their sarcastic words and offensive moves in the


    slightest. He merely narrowed his eyes and extended his arms to block their attack with his palms.

    When Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie saw the scene, they immediately burst into loudughter.


    "Boy, how silly you are. How dare you block my attack with your own palms? You''re courting death!"


    "An arrogant boy who overestimates himself. You are just a frog in the well who hasn''t seen the real


    deal before. How ridiculous and pathetic!"


    With a condescending attitude, the duo seemed to have foreseen the scene where Fade was


    defeated spectacrly by their attack.


    However, Mr. Liu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly recalled something from his train of


    memory. He stole a few nces at Fade again to reconfirm his suspicion, and his face stiffened


    dramatically into a sheer horrified look.


    He quickly shouted to Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie, "Both of you, stop fighting now, hurry."


    "Mr. Liu, what are you doing?" Hearing his words, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie frowned in


    exasperation. They stared at Mr. Liu disapprovingly.


    At this moment, nervousness was mounting in Mr. Liu. He yelled, "That, that person you''ve just


    attacked is Master Chen. Master Chen, he is the real deal. He is the real master of martial arts.


    Stop now. If we offend him, none of us will be alive."


    Hearing Mr. Liu''s exaggerated holler, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie were overwhelmed by puzzlement


    and disappointment. Their stunned face was in aplete daze. "What Master Chen? He''s just an


    ignorant brat. What''s wrong with you, Mr. Liu?"
