Chapter 1080


    As the police scrambled downhill in panic, every member of the Li family who had been waiting


    anxiously at the foot of the mountain rushed up at that moment.


    "Why have you guys retreated?! Where''s Sasha?" Martin questioned.


    When the terrified policemen heard Martin''s questioning tone, their faces turned sullen, showing


    their displeasure.


    However, as it was Martin who had been the one to speak, they dared not raise their voice back at


    him, "Mr. Li, we''re sorry, but we''re no match for Fade. We''ve failed to rescue Miss Sasha."


    "How is that possible?! You''re the police, aren''t you? How can you just surrender like that? You''re..."


    Martin cried out, almost pouncing on the police.


    Secretary Liu quickly reached out and held him back.


    "Sir, you shouldn''t be angry at the police now. We still need their help," Secretary Liu persuaded.


    Martin''s anxious countenance eased a little at that but his anxiety did not abate. "Two hours have


    passed since then! I don''t know how much Sasha has suffered already. We need to get to her


    quickly."


    At this moment, a group of people walked up behind him. Secretary Liu looked over at them and


    reminded, "Mr. Li, the director of the security department, Mr. Huang is here."


    At the mention of that, Martin''s heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile onto his face and turned


    around to wee him.


    He knew that Mr. Huang was a bigshot in the security department. He was in charge of police and


    military affairs of Jade City, and his status was almost on par with the Chief Executive.


    Initially, Mr. Huang had not wanted to get involved with a mere kidnapping case. However, as the Li


    family used Old Master Fenrir''s business card this time to request for a special favor, they managed


    to get Mr. Huang there.


    "Mr. Huang, you''re here! Sorry for troubling you," Martin said respectful as he greeted the man.


    Mr. Huang was over sixty years old and slightly plump. He shook hands with Martin and replied, "Mr.


    Li, no worries. I''m d to be of help; it''s just a small matter anyway. Let''s get right to it, shall we?"


    Martin nodded at that and together with the armed forces, he reported all the relevant information to


    Mr. Huang.


    After they were done, Mr. Huang couldn''t help but frown as he inquired, " So ording to your


    statement, this Fade fellow is a martial arts master, and a very powerful one at that. You''re telling


    me that ordinary police forces and even the army wouldn''t be able to tackle him head on?"


    "That''s right, Mr. Huang. He defeated the first batch of police and even scared off a helicopter just


    now before they got the chance to attack!"


    "Furthermore, we suspect that he merely demonstrated surface-level skills and hadn''t gone all out


    yet. If he did, I''m afraid our personnel would most likely be killed or injured."


    Hearing this, Mr. Huang''s face turned sullen as he roared, "How despicable! He''s even bold enough


    to abduct people to be his hostages in Jade City?! You''re telling me that after he attacked the


    police, he said he hasn''t gone all out yet? Ridiculous!"


    Martin who was standing beside him added fuel to the fire, "Mr. Huang, Fade has killed a lot of


    people who were from the Li family. He''s really malicious!"


    Mr. Huang''s eyebrows knitted into a furrow when he replied, "When encountering such an ouw, it


    seems like there''s only one way to go about this..."


    "Mr. Huang, are you referring to..." Martin started to ask.


    "Stealth," Mr. Huang finished the sentence for him with narrowed eyes.


    At the mention of that name, Martin couldn''t help himself from getting startled. He was vaguely


    reminded of something.


    "Stealth Team is a special team formed by relevant departments of our country. Its members are far


    superior to ordinary people and they all have various special abilities. There are many martial arts


    masters in it as well. This team is specifically formed to deal with crimes rted to martial artists in


    which ordinary police would not be able to handle lightly," Mr. Huang exined aloud.

    Hearing Mr. Huang''s introduction, Martin suddenly perked up a little and eximed, "Is the Stealth


    Team really that powerful?! That''s great to hear! Please have them help us out in this matter."


    With a wave of his hand, Mr. Huang proceeded to issue amand, "Mobilize the Stealth Team of


    Jade City right now. Have them sent over here to deal with this."


    Half an hourter, the Stealth Team made their appearance at the foot of Eastset Mountain.


    Mr. Huang wasted no time once they arrived, quickly exining the situation to them and barking


    out orders to the team, "Go up the Eastset Mountain and rescue Sasha from the despicable martial


    artist, do you understand?"


    However, instead of replies of affirmation, he was met with silence from the Stealth team members.


    Feeling embarrassed, Mr. Huang flushed red in embarrassment at that. His expression darkened as


    he red at the leader of the Stealth Team, Leonardo, and yelled out, "Leonardo, did you


    understand my order?"


    Leonardo merely looked up at the man and answered sharply, "Yes, Mr. Huang. I heard you loud


    and clear."


    "Then what are you still doing here? Go do your job!" Mr. Huang bellowed in a deep voice.


    "We''re not able to carry out this task," Leonardo answered.


    "What?! Why not? Are you defying a military order right now?" Mr. Huang shouted at him, infuriated.


    Seemingly unaffected by the anger pouring out of the other man''s body, Leonardo said coolly, "It''s


    because of Mr. Chen''s special identity. We''re not allowed to take any actions against him."


    "What''s so special about his identity?!" Mr. Huang asked slowly.


    At that point, Martin was also getting impatient with the slow pace of things. With a toneced with


    dissatisfaction, he added on, "Isn''t he just some small town doctor? Why don''t you just do away with


    him? Are you people really not going to do anything to help someone who is in danger?"


    Leonardo spared a quick nce at Martin at that but turned his head around immediately after and


    ignored him. Redirecting his gaze back to Mr. Huang, he began to exin, "It''s because Mr. Chen''s


    is a special instructor of our Stealth Team."


    "What? Your special instructor?!" Mr. Huang''s eyes nearly bugged out of his skull as he echoed.


    Martin on the other hand, merely looked confused as he questioned further, "So what?! Even if


    that''s the case, you cannot possibly leave someone he abducted in grave danger!"


    "Mr. Li, you''d better not involve yourself in a mess like this if you can help it. You don''t understand


    the severity of the situation at all," Leonardo red at Martin.


    Martin fumed and proceeded to yell, "Leonardo, are you not a government servant? In the face of


    such a tant crime, how could you possibly turn a blind eye over this? So what if the enemy is


    someone like Fade? Abduction is a crime, through and through!"


    Unaffected, Leonardo let out a cold snort as he answered calmly, "Mr. Li, everyone else might not


    know the reason behind Mr. Chen''s motives but you do, don''t you? I''d advise you toply with his


    requests and requirements as soon as you can. Otherwise, the Li family will be in jeopardy." "What


    are you talking about? Are you threatening me right now? I knew it! You and Fade have joined


    forces, haven''t you? Mr. Huang, did you hear him? This guy is in cahoots with Fade! Have them


    arrested and interrogated! I..." Martin eximed, choking up a little at the end from the


    overwhelming emotions of shock and disbelief that enveloped him.


    With a grave look at Martin, Mr. Huang interrupted him in a steady voice, "Mr. Li, please calm


    down."
