    After the meal, Fade and Lauren returned to the vi.

    Fade went out again. This time, without Lauren. That was because he had already met an old friend


    in South Bay City.


    This old friend of his was Caesar Tu from the Tu Medicine Center back in Dragonville.


    When the two met, Caesar immediately gave Fade a warm hug and said, "Brother Fade, it''s been


    months since west met. I missed you."


    Fadeughed and patted Caesar''s shoulder, "I''m not gay, I''m as straight as a fiddle."


    "Haha, Brother Fade, that hurts, "Caesarughed and continued, "I''m just being nice. Don''t worry."


    "Alright, alright, I feel your enthusiasm already," Fadeughed. He then said, "By the way, what are


    you doing in South Bay City?"


    Caesar’s face changed abruptly and said, "Brother Fade, I am here because of what happened with


    the Acupuncture King of the Cao family previously."


    "Do you mean the time where the Bronze Acupuncture Manual was involved?" Fade frowned, "Are


    you here to check on Mr. Tu''s grave?"


    Caesar told him, "My grandfather is worried that the Cao family won’t hold up their end of the


    bargain, but he is very busy right now. That’s why he sent me."


    "My grandfather will be here after the new year and he will make an official announcement. Lamont


    Cao must pay for what he did."


    Fade nodded and said, "The Cao family has been engaging in such evil acts for so many years. It’s


    time for payback."


    "Brother Fade, let''s go to Southern Hill," Caesar suggested.


    Southern Hill was where Jason and Lamont met their master. It was also where their master was


    buried after he passed away. His grave was at the peak of the hill.


    Both of them went to Southern Hill using the subway. Southern Hill was also one of the few


    remaining untouchednds in South Bay City.


    It was covered in lush forests and diverse wildlife. The air was fresh and the waters were crystal


    clear. It was definitely a fresh change of pace from the bustling city life.


    Caesar looked around, deduced their location and pointed at a small hill before saying to Fade,


    "Brother Fade, that''s where we are heading. Let’s go."


    With that, both of them trekked up the mountain together.


    The path was serene and quiet. It was extremely rxing.


    However, as they approached the peak, they heard the rumbling noises of mechanical contraptions.


    "What’s this? Why does it sound like we are on a construction site?"


    In an instant, both of them felt that something was wrong and immediately ran towards the peak of


    the mountain.


    When they arrived, both of them were stunned.


    The originally dense and lush forest was now a barrenndscape dominated by machinery and


    concrete.


    Excavators, forklifts and trucks were moving about. There were people chopping down trees too. It


    was simply chaotic.


    Fade and Caesar searched among the debris frantically.


    Finally, they found a shallow grave at the side of a bush.


    The writing on the tombstone couldn''t even be read after years of erosion. The tombstone itself was


    almost indistinguishable from the pile of rocks beside it.


    The worst part was that rubble and debris were all piled up by the tombstone. Some garbage even


    wound up on top of the tombstone. If one didn''t know any better, they would assume that the


    tombstone was part of the trash!


    Caesar saw that and his face sank. He immediately marched towards the tombstone and started


    clearing everything away.


    The construction workers took notice of what was going on.


    Hence, two construction workers came to them frowning and asked, "Who are you? What are you


    doing?"


    Caesar was still enraged. He turned around and immediately yelled, "Who am I? Who the hell are


    you? What the f*ck is going on here?"


    "What''s with that attitude? This ce is for authorized personnel only. You cannot simply barge in


    here without permission. Leave at once, or else..." The construction worker was also riled up.


    Caesar almost burst into mes. He was about to engage in a fistfight with the guy.


    Fade immediately grabbed Caesar and calmly exined to the construction workers, "Mister, this is


    the tomb belonging to one of his rtives. That'' s why he is so emotional, so please don’t take it to


    heart."


    The construction workers heard that and they were embarrassed too. They stammered, "Oh, we


    thought that this was just an abandoned grave, that''s why we... Okay, tell you what, I''ll get some


    men toe help you clean it up."


    Fade saw that they were being so understanding, so he said, "Don''t worry. Thank you so much, but


    we can handle it ourselves."


    "My friend and I just came back from overseas, and it had been quite some time since west came


    back. What are you guys working on?" Fade asked.


    The construction workers answered him, "There is going to be a nursing home here that caters


    specifically to the rich and famous. The prices here are going to go as high as a million yuan


    annually."


    "We are working on a really tight schedule and have to finish before the new year. That’s why we


    have been very busy and overlooked a lot of things," The construction workers admitted.


    "A high-end nursing home? That must be a huge investment," Fade said.


    The construction workers nodded and said, "Of course, the first phase of the building has already


    cost over two billion yuan. This is definitely going to be the most prestigious and luxurious nursing


    home in South Bay City."


    "However, the Cao family are the main shareholders of the project. They can afford it."


    "The Cao family!" Fade and Caesar simultaneously widened their eyes and asked, "Do you mean


    the Cao family, also known as the Acupuncture Kings?"


    "There is only one Cao family that is wealthy enough to support this project, and that is them," The


    construction workers sighed.


    "So it was them!" Fade and Caesar flew into a rage after finding that out.


    Caesar gritted his teeth and said, "The Cao family are a bunch of sore losers! They lost the bet and


    yet here they are, trying to desecrate my grandmaster''s tomb! Isn''t Lamont scared of the retribution


    that may befall upon him?"


    Fade uttered coldly, "It seems like they want to make a preemptive strike andplete the nursing


    home before the new year. Things can''t go on like this."


    "The project must be stopped," Caesar gritted his teeth and dered, "This hill is where my


    grandmaster used to practice and teach. It cannot be defiled!"
