Chapter 1249


    As he spoke, Ladarius charged forward with his burly figure. With his boulder-like fist, he aimed a


    punch at Fade’s chest with an air of ferocity.


    The punch was intimidating, and it sliced through the air with such speed that the air around his fist


    screeched in agony. The colour drained from the face of the patrons dining in the restaurant, as they


    lowered their utensils involuntarily, fixating on the events unfolding before them.


    Even the martial artists among the guests let out exmations of surprise.


    "Judging from his momentum, his mastery must at the very least be of the ck Level!"


    "And for him to be at the Middle stage of the ck Level at such a young age. So young, yet so


    powerful!"


    "How incorrigible must that guy be to pick a fight with such a master of the martial arts!"


    The crowd''s chatter was heard by Yankee, which made her even more worried. She held Joey''s


    hand tightly and said, "Joey, did you hear that? Ladarius is a martial artist at the Middle stage of the


    ck Level. He is very powerful. Fade is in danger. You should stop them now."


    Joey''s face remained indifferent. She pinched Yankee''s cheek with a smile and calmed her,


    "Yankee, don''t worry. He''s only at the Middle-stage of the ck Level. Fade can beat ten of them


    with one hand tied behind his back. It''s no big deal."


    After that, Joey continued to enjoy her food as if nothing was going on.


    As her words reached the ears of the guests in the hotel, it incited yet another round of discussions.


    Many diners, especially those who had just spoken, began chatting amongst themselves while


    shaking their heads.


    "She is still too young to understand the might of the martial artist standing before them!"


    "She must be a spoilt, rich kid. She doesn''t even know how to keep a low profile in Capital City. She


    is simply causing trouble for herself!"


    "Heh, she''s just a kid. She probably has a narrow view of the world. Bullshitting is probably all that


    she knows. Beating ten Middle stage ck Level martial artists with one hand? Does she really


    think her brother is an Earth level master? Haha!"


    "Let''s just keep an eye on things. They will probably learn their lesson after having a taste of that


    man''s abilities forthemselves." "Nowadays, young people truly live in their own bubble. They should


    really go through some hardships to learn their ce in the world."


    As the cacophony of opinions cascaded around them, Yankee''s brows became tightly knit, and she


    grew increasingly worried.


    Joey, however, pursed her lips. She turned towards the gossiping diners and uttered, "What makes


    you think I don''t know what I''m talking about? The way I see it, you lot are the ones living in your


    own bubble! Keep your traps shut if you don’t know what you''re talking about, hmph!"


    "Little girl, what''s with that attitude?"


    "We''re doing this for your own good. You are the one in denial!"


    "I''m a martial artist who runs a martial arts center. I have been in contact with no less than hundreds


    of martial artists. If you think I don''t know what''s real, don''t you think you''re being ridiculous?"


    "It''s okay, she will learn her lesson once they''ve been beaten up by that guy."


    At that moment, Ladarius was also listening to the crowd’s discussion, which fueled the rage and


    dissent within him. He red at Fade as he ced more power behind the swing of his punch. His


    fist roared, rushing towards Fade with gravitas.


    "You b*stard. Now, go to hell!"


    Seeing as Ladarius'' fist was about to connect with Fade, the onlookers kept their eyes glued to the


    scene, with a variety of inexplicable expressions adorning their faces.


    Fade, who remained calm, watched as Ladarius’ fist slowly, but surely flying towards him. Gently, he


    returned the gesture with a p, which resounded crisply as his palm hit Lazarius squarely in the


    fist.


    "You blocked my punch?!" Ladarius was shocked. The corners of his mouth tightened into a


    grimace as he retorted coldly, "So what if you can stop it? Do you think you can withstand the


    strength of my punch?"


    Ladarius promptly exerted greater power into his punch, trying to send Fade flying high into the sky.


    However, he quickly came to the realization that his punch, while forceful, felt no heavier than a


    marshmallow dropping gently onto Fade''s open palm. The punch had no apparent effect on Fade,


    and his target was no more shaken than a de of grass on a cold, windless night.


    "Huh, you-" Ladarius frowned as something felt out of ce with him. He clenched his teeth and


    continued to exert his strength.


    At that point, however, Fade made his move and lightly patted his palm forward. Instantly, Ladarius


    felt an unbearable force rushing at him, sending his entire body flying backwards.


    A loud bang resounded as Ladarius'' body made contact with a marble column in the hotel. Blood


    spewed from the corner of his mouth and he slipped to the ground, his face ashen.


    "You..." Ladarius was shocked, and was struggling to get up.


    By then, however, Fade had already made his way to him. He ced a foot on Ladarius'' torso, and


    a great pressure began weighing down on thetter. It was as if he was trapped under an entire


    mountain, unable to move in the slightest.


    "Now, do you know what I meant by punishment?" Fade looked at Ladarius coldly and spoke.


    "How dare you..." Ladarius began cursing through gritted teeth as he shot Fade a look full of


    animosity.


    However, Joey waved to Fade and shouted, "Fade, stop messing around. The food is getting cold."


    Upon hearing that, Fade nodded. Without so much as another word from Ladarius, Fade picked him


    up with the point of his shoe, and sent him flying with a goal-scoring kick. Ladarius was sent flying


    out of the hotel entrance,nding on the ground with a resounding thud. Thereupon, he spat out a


    mouthful of blood.


    After Fade dropped the kick, he turned and returned to the table without so much as a second


    nce in Lazarius’ direction. "Joey, why are you eating so quickly? Leave some food for me!"


    At the scene, the hotel was deathly silent. The only sounding from the ce was a stream of


    laughter and conversation from Fade''s table, which looked to be the only table which remained


    oblivious to what just happened.


    The diners who were so expressive with their opinions earlier, looked at Fade with bewilderment,


    their mouths agape.


    "Is, is this real? He defeated a Middle-stage ck Level martial artist like it was nothing."


    "Could it be that this runt is also a martial artist?"


    "Keep your voice down. He might hear what we are saying."


    "Could it be that what the little girl said just now was true? This kid can really defeat ten Middlestage


    ck Level martial artists with one hand tied behind his back?"


    "Let’s switch topics. We shouldn''t be involving ourselves in the affairs of martial artists."


    Ignoring the discussion around them, Fade and


    Joey continued enjoying their meal.


    Yankee, on the other hand, looked at Fade in astonishment. Her eyes were glued to him, and she


    couldn''t bring herself to look away.


    Seeing this, Fade joked, "Yankee, why are you staring at me like this? Is it because my charming


    appearance has captured your heart?"


    Yankee''s face turned red. She quickly turned her head and asked, "Fade, is...is it true that you are a


    martial artist?"


    Fade was chewing on food as he confidently patted his chest and said, "Of course. Didn''t I just tell


    you? I am invincible in Dragonville, and everyone calls me Master Chen. Martial artists on the level


    of that dude earlier are but a piece of cake for me."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
