Chapter 1071


    Thepliments made Sasha giggle and proceeded to speak in a breathy tone, "You''re a smooth


    talker, aren''t you? I really like that about you. Come on then, let''s see what else you''ve got. I''m sure


    you have much more to offer than that."


    Not a momentter, the sound of clothes being rummaged and discarded filled the house.


    Just as they were about to get down to business, Fade was already standing outside the door. He


    was filled with anger at that moment, his eyes looked as if they were capable of shooting mes.


    He kicked the door open with no hesitation.


    With a loud bang, the hardwood door flew open, breaking upon impact. The deafening sound


    startled the couple in the room, making them turn their heads towards themotion.


    At this moment, the flustered young man hugged the half- dressed Sasha to him to secure her


    modesty. He looked up and shouted with rage, "Who are you? Get the hell out!"


    Fade''s face was devoid of all emotions. He merely ignored the man''s demands, stepping into the


    office as he intended.


    At this moment, Sasha, who had been lying on the desk, raised her head out of curiosity to take a


    look at the intruder.


    When she saw who it was, her nonchnt expression immediately morphed into one of panic as


    she hurriedly stammered, "Mr. Chen! What are you doing here? I..."


    Fade red at Sasha and answered coldly, "If I hadn''t been here, I wouldn''t have found out that you


    were nning to go back on your words."


    As soon as he said that, Sasha''s face fell. This meant that he had already heard what she said just


    now. Rendered speechless by fright, she eventually started to stammer out, "I, I''m... That''s..."


    On the other hand, the young man who had been getting frisky with Sasha had no idea what was


    going on. He went ahead and shouted at Fade, "You b*stard! How dare you speak to her like that!


    Get out of here! Otherwise, I''ll have you kill..."


    Before he could even finish his sentence, Fade had stretched his hand out and made a grab for the


    other man''s throat.


    It felt like an invisible force hadmanded the young man into Fade''s grip as he was lifted up by


    his throat.

    As he started to suffocate from theck of air, he began to panic and choked out in a flurry, "You...


    Let go! Let go of me!"


    Fade ignored the man''s struggle, tightening his grip instead, pinching him until he passed out. It was


    only until then that he decided to let him go, tossing the unconscious body out of the office like a rag


    doll.


    Sasha trembled with fright at the scene before her. She took a few involuntary steps back from


    Fade as she tried to exin, "Mr. Chen, this is all a huge misunderstanding, I..."


    Before she could start exining herself, she was startled into silence by Fade''s heavy palm hitting


    her desk. The force of it left a clear five-finger palm print on it.


    Fade spared Sasha a fierce re and stated in a chilly tone, "I don''t care for what exnations you


    have. All I want is the Fire me nt."


    "Hand it over to me right now or bear the consequences."


    Fade''s ferocity scared the living daylights out of her. She tried to exin as she trembled in fear,


    "Mr. Chen, please understand. Whatever you heard just now... I was just joking, I was fooling


    around!"


    "Don''t worry, we''ll definitely have the Fire me nt delivered to you as soon as possible. I


    promise!" She insisted.


    "No, that''s not good enough. I want it now. Take me to the Li family''s house immediately, I''lle


    with you to get it," Fade answered.


    Sasha turned ghastly pale, a look of embarrassment slowly oveing her features as she said,


    "Mr. Chen, that would be impossible." "Why not?!" Fade questioned, tone menacing.


    Sasha spared a quick nce at Fade''s sullen expression and quickly supplied, "It''s because the


    Fire me nt is still in Earlington. It hasn''t been shipped back here yet so there''s literally no way


    for us to get it right now."


    "I don''t believe you!" Fade spat.


    "Mr. Chen, please believe me! I''m telling the truth! The Fire me nt really hasn''t been shipped


    yet. Moreover, there are still two days left from the seven days stipted in the contract. Trust me,


    we''ll definitely have the nt delivered to you within the agreed deadline."


    Fade''s eyes gleamed a little as he muttered coldly, "Then what did you mean just now?"


    Sasha stiffened at that. Her resolve crumbled once she made eye contact with Fade''s fiery gaze.


    Hurriedly, she tried to assuage the situation, "Dr. Chen, you need not worry about that. I was just


    bragging, please don''t take anything to heart, it was all just a joke."


    "The Fire me nt is worth 20 billion. Even to my family, that''s a lot of money. To be honest, I felt


    a bit reluctant to give it up so yes, I''ll admit that I did think about reneging the debt."


    "But even so, my grandfather has told me that I can''t ruin the reputation of the family because of


    that. He has criticized my way of thinking before... Please, I was just bragging a little just now, it was


    all lies..."


    "Really?" Fade retorted, looking at Sasha solemnly.


    Sasha nodded fervently and even got on her knees before him, "Mr. Chen, what I said is all true. I


    haven''t lied to you at all! My father''s doing his best to get the Fire me nt here as soon as


    possible. Everything has been arranged ordingly."


    "I have proof as well! There are some relevant documents and videos I can show you," Sasha


    hurriedly got back on her feet and dug out a stack of documents and videos as she spoke, showing


    them to him.


    Fade looked through them. It seemed like she was telling the truth.


    After a long silence, Fade eventually spoke up, "You have two more days. Once your time is up,


    have the Fire me nt delivered to me immediately." "Otherwise, your family will bear the


    consequences."


    Sasha couldn''t help a shiver as she listened to Fade''s words. She felt an unrelenting chill up her


    spine, causing her whole body to tremble. The fear he evoked was so prominent that it felt as if it


    were embedded into her bones.


    Satisfied that he had rendered Sasha a trembling mess, Fade turned and left the office.


    Watching Fade''s retreating back, Sasha felt her body finally rx as she slumped to the ground in a


    cold sweat.


    She hurriedly got up from the ground and took out her phone. She dialled her father''s number with


    shaking fingers, "Dad, something horrible just happened. Fade came by the hospital just now and


    I..."


    After returning from The Li''s Hospital, Fade felt a little uneasy, as if something was off.


    Immediately, he called Director Xu and asked him to help track the Li family''s movements so as to


    avoid any unprecedented idents.


    Two days would pass them by soon enough.


    At the moment, it was thest evening of the deadline as agreed in the contract.


    Fade had heard from Director Xu that the Li family had indeed flown a special ne back from


    Earlington to Jade City. It arrived that afternoon.


    It was also reported that Sasha and Martin from the Li family were up to their normal daily routines.


    It didn''t seem like they had anything suspicious nned as well.
