Chapter 1109
"That''s..." The waiter stammered out a little awkwardly.
"What''s the matter? Go get the chef out! Do you want me to do it myself?" Harper yelled sharply.
The waiter had no choice but to turn away and call for the chef as instructed.
Not long after, a middle- aged chef wearing a toque nche walked over to them and asked, "Hello
Sir, how may I help you?"
Harper cast a quick nce at the middle-aged chef and said, "Are you the main chef here? You
made these steaks, didn''t you?"
The chef nodded and replied, "That''s right. I heard that Mr. Chen had brought along some
distinguished guests with him today so I prepared these steaks for you personally."
"Did you?" Harper snorted once more and further added, "So this is the oue of your best
cooking? See for yourself! Do you think this steak can be edible?!"
The chef''s smile waned a little at Harper''s usations. Holding back his anger, he began to speak
coldly, "Sir, if my steak is not to your liking, do you perhaps have a specific preference? I''ll have it
cooked ordingly." "There''s no need for that! I know for certain that no matter what I order, your
cooking will never step up! How the hell did someone with your skills be a chef at a two-star
Michelin restaurant?" Harpermented as he said, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Has the catering industry in Jade City fallen so spectacrly? This is just downright disgraceful!
You know, back in South Bay City, there''s a three-star Michelin restaurant that I frequent and let me
tell you, your cooking is horrid inparison! I won''t being here anymore. What a terrible
restaurant..."
Harper deliberately looked at Fade when he said that as he meant to insult his taste and wanted to
embarrass him.
As a result, many heads turned towards their direction. The other customers in the restaurant
looked over in curiosity at themotion.
Upon seeing this, Harper got emboldened, "See that? No one''s protesting! That means that they
agree as well!"
The chef straightened his shoulders at that moment and replied coldly, "Sir, I know very well
whether my cooking is good or not. However, there''s a little thing I want to remind you about."
"In Dragonville, there are only two three- star Michelin restaurants. One in Capital City and the other
one''s in Meadow City. Funnily enough, I''ve never heard of one being in South Bay City. Have you
perhaps been lied to about the quality of the restaurant? You''d better be careful next time..."
After that, the chef bent over and bowed to Fade, turning around to leave promptly after that.
Harper was left in his seat looking embarrassed beyond belief. At that moment,ughter broke out
in the entire restaurant.
His cheeks flushed a furious red at the ridicule. He tried desperately to sink into his seat, hoping
that it would swallow him whole.
He honestly did not expect this p to the face, making himself look like a fool in front of so many
people. He had only wanted to show off a little...
Harper''s appetite left him immediately. In a rush, he stood up from his seat and dered, "I''m full
now, let''s go."
Sonia followed suit as well, "Yeah, we''re all almost finished as well. Let''s head out together. Thank
you for the meal, Mr. Chen."
Fade nodded in acknowledgement and proceeded to pay the bill.
After that, he made his way to the car. When he got close enough, he could see that Harper was
already sitting inside, hiding away in embarrassment.
Once everyone had settled into their seats, Momo nced at Fade before asking the others, "Shall
we head back to the hotel now?"
If the incident in the restaurant had not happened, Harper had nned to provoke Fade more by
bragging about himself. However, he was not in the mood for that now. With a detached tone, he
began to speak up, "I''m tired. Let''s do that."
Sonia nodded in agreement at that.
However, at this moment, Abell, who had remained silent all the while, started to speak up, "Let''s
not rush back to the hotel just yet. I''d like to find a martial arts hall and learn a little from Mr. Chen if
that''s okay."
After that, Abell looked at Fade in anticipation, He looked eager to take on the challenge.
Fade couldn''t help feeling taken aback when he heard what he said.
Momo quickly exined to him, "Abell is a pretty astounding martial artist in South Bay City. He is
the self- proimed champion of the younger generation in martial arts. I couldn''t take his boasting
any longer so I sort of mentioned your skills in that department and told him how many masters
you''ve sessfully defeated. He''s still a
little unconvinced so..."
Needless to say, Fade knew where this was going. He turned to look at Abell and asked lightly, "Do
you want topete with me?"
The corner of Abell''s mouth twitched upwards into a confident and proud smile. He pointed an
usatory finger at Fade as he replied, "Oh no, you''re mistaken. I''m not here topete with you.
I''m just here to expose you and your lies. I''m sure I''ll defeat you in no time."
Such provocative words and gestures intensified the atmosphere in the car.
Momo couldn''t help getting angry once more. She red at Abell as she spoke, "Abell, what the hell
are you ying at?"
Abell merely spared her a fleeting look and answered, "Well, you''ve always boasted about your
friend here being really powerful, right? You even mentioned that he was able to beat an Earth
Level master!"
"I told you before that it was an impossible feat but you wouldn''t believe me. As such, I''d like to
prove to you what aplete lie that is!"
After that, Abell stared at Fade resolutely, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

On the other hand, Harper and Sonia who had nned to return to the hotel watched the both of
them curiously.
Harper was secretly overjoyed by the turn of events. Since Fade had humiliated him before, he
hoped that Abell would teach him a lesson this time round. His pride would be restored if that were
the case.
With that in mind, Harper piped up with a smile, "Oh? That does sound really interesting! Let''s go do
that then!"
"Since Young Master Harper and Young Master Abell are keen on the idea, why not?" Sonia said.
Meanwhile, Memo was trying hard to stomach her anger. Her face turned red from the effort.
Abell remained regarding Fade with a provocative gaze. With a confident smile, he started to taunt,
"Is something the matter? Do you perhaps not have the guts to take up the challenge? If that''s the
case, I demand you to kneel before us and admit to your lies! I''ll spare you if you''re willing to do
that."
Fade cast a mirthful look at him at that. The corners of his mouth had lifted into a cheeky smile. He
could not believe how ridiculous this man was.
At the moment, Abell only possessed the strength of a Yellow Level martial arts master in the
pinnacle stages. He was inferior to many of the elite Stealth Team members Fade had trained in the
previous two days. He could not fathom how this man could challenge him with such confidence.
Fade didn''t mind showing Abell his skills. He thought that perhaps the man might gain a thorough
insight into what a real martial artist was made of after this.
With that in mind, he nodded and replied, "Well, if that''s what you want, sure."
With that, Fade proceeded to start the car engine and began to drive.
Even though he had been startled by Fade''sck of hesitance, Abell could not help letting out a grin
as he settled into the backseat.
A few momentster, Fade drove up to the nearest martial arts hall. He had managed to borrow the
ming n''s venue for the time being.
When Hulk, the guardian of the ming n, saw that Fade had arrived, he rushed out to greet
him. He then proceeded to lead him to a private practice venue and had everything arranged and
set up to Fade''s liking, remaining respectful all the while.
