Chapter 763
Just as everything was happening on the mountain path, at the top of Thunder Mountain, the upper
echelons of the Lightning n gathered in the main hall, discussing something.
Seated in the main seat was the Guardian of Lightning n, Franklin Chang. At this moment, he
had a worried look on his face. He looked at the elders on both sides and said, "Do we really have
to do this?"
A middle-aged man with a long beard sat down and said to Franklin, "Guardian, you are the leader
of our Lightning n. Why the need to be so afraid?"
Franklin sighed and said to the long-bearded man, "Master Chien, I''m not afraid. It''s just that if he
found out that we did this, I''m afraid that..."
Without waiting for Franklin to finish, Master Chien said directly, "Guardian, to be honest, you think
too highly of that person. You''re too fearful of him! Our Lightning n is a force of the ck Level.
How could we be afraid of an ordinary practitioner?"
Master Chien''s words were so lofty that many other elders agreed with him immediately.
"Guardian, Master Chien is right. We, the Lightning n, have been around for a hundred years.
We have been through so much. If we cancel the event and drive away the guests over such trivial
matters, we will be theughingstock of the public."
"Yes, Guardian, the Opening Day is starting soon. At this point, there''s no need to be hesitating!"
Hearing the elders'' persuasion, Franklin''s expression improved, but he still looked worried and said,
"However, we have already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him. Yet, we are still organizing
the Opening Day at the Dragon Source Herb Farm. No matter how you see it, we are still at fault!"
The "him" in Franklin''s words naturally referred to Fade.
During the battle at the Martial Arts Convention, Franklin lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade
as a result of a bet. Although Fade had note to collect the herb farm in the months after,
Franklin still had some worries in his heart.
In particr, the Opening Day made Franklin even more worried. He had not slept well recently.
After all, the Opening Day was equivalent to using Fade''s property to win connections on behalf of
the Lightning n. If Fade found out, things would get messy!
Thinking of this, Franklin couldn''t help but remember the scene of the arena fight. He shuddered in
his heart, feeling terrified.
However, the other elders hadn''t experienced that fight, so they didn''t understand Franklin''s
concern right now. They even felt that the Guardian was too timid and terrified of an ordinary
practitioner.
Among them, the one who opposed him the most was the First Master Tyrion Chien, the long-
bearded man who had spoken just now.
Sure enough, after hearing Franklin''s words, Tyrion immediately stood up and said harshly,
"Guardian, I don''t agree with you."
"Fade hasn''te to the Lightning n to take over the Dragon Source Herb Farm. The farm is
still not his."
"Even if hees, it''s still debatable whether we should give him the farm or not."
Upon hearing this, Franklin could not help but shiver. He looked at Tyrion and said, "Master Chien,
do you mean..."
Tyrion looked directly at Franklin and nodded without any hesitation. Then, he nced at the other
elders and said aloud, "Guardian, now that all the people present are from our own side, I won''t
hide anything from you. Let''s get straight to the point. We shouldn''t give the Dragon Source Herb
Farm to Fade."
"But we lost the bet..." Franklin said.
Tyrion sneered and said, "Guardian, how many people know about the bet and how many people
approve of it? This is still unknown."
"What''s more, even if we lost to him, so what? We''re a martial arts n. It won''t be that easy to take
things away from us!"
Tyrion''s words caused many elders to rise to their feet in agreement.
"Guardian, Master Chien''s words make sense! Not to mention that it was a small bet, even if we
don''t admit it in public, what can he do to us?"
"That''s right. Guardian, we are martial arts practitioners, not those brainless schrs. We need to
be versatile when ites to certain matters."
"Besides, didn''t the Yue family lose a bet as well? They''re going to hand over half of their property,
weren''t they? Now, not to mention half of their property, even the engagement that they promised to
cancel is still ongoing. What can Fade do? Ha!"
The elders all supported Tyrion''s point - they didn''t want to hand over the Dragon Source Herb
Farm.
In fact, it made sense. As a rare piece of top-grade medicinal herb field, the Dragon Source Herb
Farm was considered the most important asset of the Lightning n. Over the years, the Lightning
n had been growing stronger with the help of the Dragon Source Herb Farm.
Now, they were asked to hand over the Dragon Source Herb Farm to someone else. Naturally, they
would not easily agree to it.
Looking at the angry elders, Franklin couldn''t help sighing. Why would he want to hand the Dragon
Source Herb Farm over if he had a choice?
However, when he thought of Fade''s terrifying skills that he saw with his own eyes on the arena that
day, he could not help but shiver. He said, "I understand what you''re thinking. It''s just that Fade is
so powerful he even defeated Yohannes Yue. If hees to us, I''m afraid..."
The elders had only heard about Fade''s battle results. They had not personally fought with him.
Naturally, they did not understand the terrifying suffocation of his strength.
At this moment, all of them seemed confident and indifferent. They all started speaking up one after
another.
"Although Yohannes is powerful, he''s only one. With so many members of our Lightning n here,
how can we be weaker than him if we work together!"
"Yes, Guardian. Fade boasted so loudly, but he''s just a young boy in his early twenties. He''s not so
powerful!"
"Guardian, think about it. Even if we are no match for him. With so many people''s strength, don''t we
have the capital to negotiate with him?"
"Master Chien, you''re right. If we''re so fearful of a kid, how can we hold a foothold in the martial arts
world in the future?"
Franklin listened to the words of the elders with a hesitant expression. After a pause, he said, "I''ll
think about it!"
The other elders were still trying to persuade him, but Master Chien stopped them, "Give the
Guardian some time to think. Let''s talk about thister. Anyway, most of the guests are here. We''d
better prepare for the opening ceremony!"

Upon hearing this, Franklin was silent for a few seconds. He sighed, got up, and nodded, "Let''s
prepare tounch the Opening Day!"
The crowd nodded and was about to walk out of the hall.
However, at this moment, a voice as loud as thunder suddenly rang out and reached the ears of
everyone in the hall.
"Franklin Chang, I''m here. Come out to greet me!"
