Chapter 1072


    Sasha held a dinner party that night to celebrate her 28th birthday. She had invited many celebrities


    and influential figures from Jade City to attend, so it was very lively.


    She had even sent an invitation to Fade.


    However, all he cared about was the Fire me nt. He had not been in the mood to attend the


    birthday dinner and so, he didn''t.


    As night fell, Fade apanied Quin to bed, trying his best to relieve her from cold syndrome.


    Looking out the window, the dark sky was without its star, as if painted in dark ink. Fade held Quin''s


    hand in his and whispered softly, "My dear, after tonight, everything will be alright soon. Once I get


    the Fire me nt tomorrow, I''ll be able to cure your illness. You won’t have to suffer so much


    anymore."


    Fade looked at his watch at the thought of the nt. It was already nine o''clock in the evening. The


    deadline was only a few hours away.


    Right at that moment, the mobile phone in Fade''s hand vibrated, indicating a call. When he saw that


    it was Director Xu who was calling, he couldn''t help the nagging sensation that made him feel


    uneasy. He felt that it was a bad omen.


    He got up and walked out of his wife''s bedroom to the living room before he answered the call,


    "Hey, Director Xu."


    Just as Fade greeted him, Director Xu who was on the other end of the phone started to scream,


    "Mr. Chen, things are not looking good! We were tricked by the Li family!"


    "Tricked? How? What''s happened?" Fade felt his heart squeeze as he asked.


    "Mr. Chen, you asked me to track the movements of the Li family a few days before, correct? Well,


    I''ve been sending people to track them and found nothing unusual. But just a few moments ago,


    some of our colleagues have discovered that the Li family had performed a diversion!" Director Xu


    exined anxiously.


    "They ordered their personnel to perform their duties as usual but had sent out Fenrir, Old Master of


    the Li family in secret!"


    "What? Where was he sent to?" Fade asked, confused. Something had gone terribly wrong, he


    thought.

    "I''ve checked the aviation records just now. Half an hour ago, a small private ne owned by the Li


    family took off to Earlington. Fenrir was on that ne."


    Upon hearing this, Fade''s expression went sullen.


    Fenrir was already a man of age and his health condition wasn''t too great. It was odd for him to fly


    abroad in secret like that; Fade didn''t think it was a coincidence at all.


    Thinking back to the things he heard Sasha say from before, he started to tremble in rage, his


    expression turning cold with rage as he said through gritted teeth, "How dare the Li family trick me!"


    The rage Director Xu could hear in Fade''s voice made him worry. "Mr. Chen, please don''t act


    impulsively. I''m already making arrangements to stop Fenrir..." He continued.


    "Thank you, Director Xu. I will take care of this personally," Fade said coldly, and proceeded to hang


    up the phone.


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, he made a call over to Lily and told her about the situation.


    After that, Fade left the hotel promptly and sped towards the Li family vi in no time.


    At that moment, the Li family vi was still brightly lit.


    Many Jade City''s celebrities and influential figures had gathered around the magnificent hall.


    Everyone was chatting with each other, the atmosphere was high-spirited.


    Sasha was dressed in a gorgeous long gown that glittered under the brilliant light. She looked like a


    princess from a fairytale, being the focus of everyone''s attention at the scene.


    After a greeting toast, Martin pulled Sasha aside and whispered, "Old Master''s ne just left Jade


    City. Things are well under wraps, nothing has been leaked as far as we can tell."


    When Sasha heard him, a smile appeared on her face.


    However, the image of an angry and terrifying looking Fade from the hospital two days ago popped


    into her mind.


    It made Sasha frown slightly as she spoke with concern colouring her tone, "Dad, if Fade finds out


    about this. I don''t think he''ll let it go so easily..."


    At the mention of Fade, Martin couldn''t help but frown and pause a little. However, he immediately


    waved his hand in dismissal and said, "I''ve already made arrangements to deal with him. I''ve invited


    a lot of experts from all over to help us out this week."


    "Besides, we still have someone from Titan Studio to back us up. We treat them rtively well so


    he''ll definitely help us if needed," continued Martin.


    Sasha''s eyes shown with respect and yearning at the mention of the Titan Studio. "I heard that the


    senior will have another breakthrough soon! It''s scary how much his strength seems to exceed


    human expectations!"


    "Yes, if he improves further, he''ll be able to reach the Earth Level in no time. No one in Jade City


    has ever stepped into that top realm for many years now," Martin sighed. "After obtaining this level


    of strength, he can single-handedly resist an army of men!"


    "A person like that would be equivalent to the entirety of our family, more even. It''s terribly


    unfortunate that we don''t have a martial arts expert in our family yet," he continued on.


    After hearing that, Sasha began tofort her father, "Dad, you don''t have to be so upset. A


    master of that level maye to us by chance, you know. It''s all down to fate and luck. We have


    enough money to hire hundreds of warriors to protect us anyway, the end result would be the same


    either way."


    "You''re right!" Martin nodded, and then continued to speak, "Hey Sasha, I think I''ll be leaving a little


    earlier. You''ll have to handle the rest by yourselfter, alright? We''re using this party as a cover-up


    after all; it''ll surely bewilder Fade for a while. After the party is over, I want you to leave Jade City


    immediately and stay somewhere else overnight."


    At the mention of leaving Jade City, Sasha turned reluctant, "Dad, do we really have to leave? My


    business in the Chinese Medicine Hospital has been going pretty well. If I leave now, I''m afraid that


    it''ll be affected. Besides, didn''t you hire abat master to protect us already? Why do we have to


    leave..."


    "You''re my one and only daughter, Sasha. To be on the safe side, we have to prevent Fade from


    doing anything berserk. It would be best if we go hide somewhere else until everything dies down."


    Sasha nodded her head in understanding, "Alright then. Dad, take care, alright? Once the party is


    over, I''ll leave immediately."


    After that, Martin took his leave.


    Meanwhile, Sasha held a wine ss in her hands as she walked back to the main hall.


    As soon as she entered the hall, a group of young and powerful masters started to gather around


    her.


    After all, a wealthydy like Sasha who was still single interested many of them. It was natural for


    them to want to introduce themselves in order to court her into marriage.


    However, just as the group of young masters began to surround Sasha...


    One of her subordinates rushed in looking panicky and shouted, "Miss Sasha! We''re in big trouble!


    It''s..."


    The shouting immediately attracted every attendee''s attention.


    Sasha frowned, quirking an eyebrow as she asked, "What''s the matter? What happened?"


    "Miss Sasha, someone just broke in and demanded to speak to you and the head of the family," the


    servant replied hastily.


    "What?! Someone managed to break in? Who the hell is it?" Sasha eximed, feeling startled. She


    did not feel good about this.
