Chapter 753
In the end, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh. He said to the youngdy, "Regardless of that,
you''reing back with us!"
Cherry pouted. She wanted to voice an objection, but her mother came over and said in
exasperation, "Cherry, don''t me us. We are doing this for the sake of your Grandpa."
At the mention of her Grandpa, Cherry had no choice but to give in. She stood up obediently and
went over to her parents.
Seeing this, the middle-aged couple nodded and were ready to leave the food stall with the young
lady.
Just as she was about to leave, the girl suddenly thought of something. She turned around and
walked toward Fade.
Standing in front of Fade, the girl bowed to him. She smiled, "I''m sorry, I''ve troubled you. I''m Cherry
Xie."
Fade was surprised before a faint smile tugged on his lips. He nodded slightly and said, "No
worries. I''m Fade Chen."
"Thank you, Fade!" The girl nodded in gratitude and was ready to leave.
However, Fade stopped her, "Cherry, wait a minute."
The girl turned to look at Fade with curiosity. "Er, Fade, you..."
Meanwhile, Cherry''s parents also turned to look at him warily. It seemed that if Fade made any fishy
moves, they would rush up and give him a good thrashing.
However, Fade did not make any inappropriate move. He merely handed Cherry a name card and
chuckled, "I am a doctor. If you need any help, you can contact me."
His words were totally out of Cherry''s expectation. It seemed that he had overheard her
grandfather''s condition.
After a brief hesitation, Cherry took his name card. She nodded and said, "I will. Thank you, Fade!"
With that, the girl turned around and walked toward her parents.
His parents asked warily, "Cherry, what did he give you?"
Cherry showed them the name card, "His name is Fade. He is a doctor. He said I can contact him if
I need him."
"A doctor!" When Cherry''s parents heard this, they couldn''t help but turn to look at Fade in disbelief.
However, theyter frowned, "We have consulted who knows how many famous doctors. You''d
better not simply put your trust in a roving doctor."
Clearly, they did not trust Fade''s medical skills at all. They were even doubtful of his identity as a
doctor. They strongly suspected that this was just a trick of him to ost their daughter.
Although Cherry did not have much confidence in Fade''s medical skills, she carefully kept his name
card in her purse. After all, Fade mere did so out of goodwill.
After Cherry and her parents had left, Fade went on to satiate his rumbling stomach for a while.
While he did, he took this opportunity to engage in a lively chat with the other diners around him.
It didn''t take long for Fade to figure out the opening day that they were talking about.
The opening day was apparently a tradition of the Lightning n dating back to many years ago.
The asion would be held every four years. When the herbs in the Dragon Source Herb Farm of
the Lightning n matured, the herb farm would be opened for visitors who did note from this
ce.
They would set up some examinations for the visitors. Only those who have passed would be
granted entry into the Dragon Source Herb Farm to pick any herb of his desire.
It was widely known that the Dragon Source Herb Farm was the ce where the Lightning n
carefully cultivated herbs. Even the least valuable herbs on the farm were worth millions of yuan on
the market, let alone those precious herbs. These rare herbs worth invaluable, and even if one had
the money, one may not be able to procure them on the market.
Therefore, the opening day of Dragon Source Herb Farm is certainly to attract an influx of people
once every four years. After all, nobody would want to miss a golden chance to acquire precious
medicinal ingredients. There was no harm in trying their luck.
Fade was fascinated by what he had heard. He went on to ask, "Wouldn''t there be a lot of people
who''d grab this opportunity? If every one of them takes one nt, can Lightning n take it?"
When the people in the vicinity heard him, they burst intoughter, "Bro, you think too much.
There''s no way the Lightning n would let everyone go in without having any restrictions? To be
able to enter, you are either a practitioner of martial arts or a rich person."
"Commoners like us have no chance to visit the Dragon Source Herb Farm at all."
"That''s not it. Even if we could go, we couldn''t pass the test anyway!"
"That''s right. After all, the Lightning n spent so much to open the farm, they''re not giving out
herbs out of kindness, but they are up to something else."
"Up to something else? What is it?" Fade asked in a casual tone.
The others said, "Bro, you are still too young to understand the evil of the world!"
"Although the Lightning n is a powerful and influential martial arts association with a rank of
ck Level, they are no different from ordinary people! They are profiteers who worship money.
Why would they organize the opening day years after years if it doesn''t benefit them?"
"That''s right. Although the Lightning n''s opening day looks just like a giveaway, you must bear in
mind that those who are qualified to attend are no ordinary people. If they are given a precious
medicine by the Lightning n for free, they will certainly remember the favor given by Lightning
n."
"In the future, whenever the Lightning n needs help, they will naturally lend a helping hand to
repay the favor, be it financial or authoritative support. This is the true motive of the Lightning n."
Upon hearing this, Fade came to a dawning
realization.
There was no way Lightning n would trade in a losing business. The so-called opening day was
merely an asion for them to use the precious herbs of the sect to create a bond with the
influential people.

Although he understood why they were doing so, Fade could not control the distaste that had
evoked.
After all, the Lightning n had already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him a few months
ago. Now, the herb field actually belonged to Fade.
As a result, the members of the Lightning n were using his own property without his knowledge
to hold this opening day. It was no different as to using his belongings illegally for their own profit.
Thinking of this, Fade''s eyes turned cold. He snorted inwardly and whispered to himself, "Franklin,
oh, Franklin, it seems that you have forgotten my lesson when I''m not here to put a leash on you!"
After he bottomed up his wine, Fade bid goodbye with the folks and returned to the hotel.
The next day. It was the first day of Dragon Source Herb Farm''s opening. Fade set off early in the
morning and headed for Thunder Mountain.
Simr to Fade, there were a lot of people heading to the same destination. Along the way, Fade
met a lot of wealthy businessmen and martial arts practitioners. They were bubbling with much
fervor and enthusiasm.
Fade restrained his positive energy and advanced alone.
Halfway through the journey, a loud cry came from behind, "Fade!"
Fade heard the voice and turned his head around, only to see a small car slowing down behind him.
When the door opened, it revealed the pretty face of a youngdy. She waved her hand eagerly at
Fade and greeted him warmly. She was none other than Cherry whom he met at the food stall
yesterday.
When Fade saw Cherry, he smiled and raised his hand to return the wave. "Cherry, hello there!"
Seeing Fade''s friendly response, Cherry continued to wave with a huge grin, "Fade, are you going
to the Lightning n? Hop on! Come with us!"
