Chapter 1395


    Hoce didn''t expect Fade to be so frank. His mannerisms weren''t like a young man at all. After all,


    a grand national martial arts event like this was coveted by countless young martial artists, and they


    would jump at the opportunity to participate. Who wouldn''t want to show off at Martial Arts


    Convention and make a name for themselves in the martial arts world?


    On the contrary, Fade wasn''t interested in attending the Martial Arts Convention at all. Fade''s


    indifference towards the event was so unexpected that it stunned Hoce and rendered him


    speechless.


    "If there''s nothing else, then I''ll go now." Fade looked at the dumbfounded man and said.


    Hoce came back to his senses and blurted, "Mr. Chen, please don''t leave. The Martial Arts


    Convention will reward you generously. There will be secret scrolls on all kinds of martial arts


    techniques and elixirs. As long as you get a good result, there will be a reward."


    "If that''s the case..." Fade hesitated for a moment, but he was still unconvinced. After all,mon


    martial arts secret techniques were of no use to Fade. The Nine Sun ming Skill that he cultivated


    was already the top- level secret technique.


    Hoce noticed that Fade was lost in his own thoughts. "Mr. Chen, I''ll reveal a piece of information


    to you, but you mustn''t tell anyone about it!" he whispered.


    Hoce''s mysterious tone piqued his interest. "What is it?"


    Hoce''s eyes scanned the whole room cautiously before he answered, "It is said that the top five


    of the Dragon List will be granted qualification to explore Dragon Mausoleum during the Martial Arts


    Convention."


    "A chance to explore Dragon Mausoleum!" Fade''s eyes lit up as he thought to himself, intrigued.


    Rumors on the appearance of Dragon Mausoleum had been spreading around for some time. Fade


    had sent his people to inquire after Dragon Mausoleum, but they all returned without a clue. They


    couldn''t even figure out its location and when it appeared.


    But now, the top five on the Dragon List to attend the Martial Arts Convention actually had the


    chance to explore Dragon Mausoleum. Fade was genuinely surprised.


    "Dragon Mausoleum is heavily guarded, and we''re not even sure when and where it appeared. Are


    you sure Martial Arts Convention received permission to explore Dragon Mausoleum?" Fade asked,


    still doubtful.


    Hoce nodded seriously and insisted, "I don''t know the exact source of information, but I''m certain


    that it''s true, because my master told me this himself."


    Fade nodded in agreement and pondered over Hoce''s words.


    Hoce''s master, Galeno, was the Martial Arts League''s leader and a Heaven Level expert. He was


    a well- known powerhouse on the Divine Dragon List. If the news came from him, then it might


    really be true.


    Hoce decided to strike on the iron while it was hot when he saw that Fade finally seemed


    interested in the topic. "Mr. Chen, with your strength, it is no doubt that you''ll obtain the qualification


    to explore Dragon Mausoleum as long as you participate."


    He paused to observe Fade''s reaction and continued, "Besides, my master said you should feel


    free to ask him if you have any requests. He''ll fulfill them for you as long as they''re reasonable."


    "I..." Fade contemted the idea of participating. As he was considering the offer, his eyes flicked


    towards Jasmine, who stood by quietly with her head hung low. An idea suddenly came to him, and


    he turned to Hoce. "I will attend Martial Arts Convention, but under one condition."


    "What is it, Mr. Chen? Please tell me!" Hoce pleaded.


    Fade pointed his finger at Jasmine and said, "I want Jasmine toe with me. Would Galeno agree


    to this?"


    Upon hearing Fade''s request, Hoce pped his hands in delight and replied, "It''s not a big deal at


    all! All we have to do is to get one more ticket, and I can get it done without my master."


    "If that''s the case, then thank you for your help." Fade nodded.


    Hoce was ted. "That''s settled then! I''ll go through the formalities on your behalf."


    Shortly after Hoce bid goodbye and departed, Fade and Jasmine left Night Rose Club and


    decided to head towards the school by car.


    Both of them didn''t say a word as they walked towards the vehicle. When they both entered the car,


    Fade asked Jasmine, "I signed you up for the Martial Arts Convention without asking you first. You


    won''t get angry at me, would you?"


    Jasmine shook her head and replied softly, "I''m sure you have your own reasons for signing me up,


    Mr. Chen. I understand."


    Fade''s eyes softened as he gently exined, "You have already achieved the ck Level in terms


    of your strength. However, with what you learned from Westbrook Studio, you''re still far from being


    on par with others when ites to actualbat. Those who are attending the Martial Arts


    Convention are all elite fighters, and I reckon it will be a good opportunity for you to improve your


    technique."


    "Alright, I''ll work hard to improve myself," Jasmine replied earnestly.


    Fade hummed his acknowledgment and kept his eyes on the road while driving them back to


    school.


    The next day, Fade received news from Romeo informing him that arrangements had been made


    with the representative from Encyclo Hall. Romeo reminded Fade that he may pay a visit to the


    representative when he had time to introduce themselves to each other properly.


    Fade didn''t hesitate when it came to Joey''s matters, so he immediately rushed over to the ce.


    The rendevous point was in an office building. As soon as he arrived at the destination, Romeo led


    him into the building.


    Fade briefly observed the surroundings. Office workers dressed in suits and ties were busy working


    on their respective stations. The office building wasn''t much different than the ordinarypanies.


    If Romeo had not told Fade that this was Encyclo Hall, he would have thought that it was just a


    regr office.


    After passing through the office workers, they finally arrived at the general manager''s office.


    "Mr. Liu, I brought a friend," Romeo greeted.


    He gestured to the man sitting across the room and said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, this is Pancho Liu, the


    general manager of Encyclo Hall."


    "Mr. Liu, this is Mr. Fade Chen, whom I mentioned about to you before."


    Manager Liu was about 40 years old. Dressed in a modern suit and leather shoes, he looked just


    like a typical businessman rather than someone involved in the martial arts world.


    Despite this, he could feel Manager Liu''s strong positive energy with his own. His positive energy


    was at least at the middle- stage of the ck Level.


    Manager Liu''s eyes betrayed a hint of surprise when he saw that Fade was younger than he


    expected. He tried to cover his amazement with a friendly smile. "Hello, Mr. Chen. I''ve heard so


    much about you." "Hello, Manager Liu. I''m very pleased to meet you too." Fade shook hands with


    him politely.


    Beside them, Romeo casually sat on the sofa and said, "Both of you, let''s skip the formalities and


    get down to business!"


    The two of them nodded and sat down.

    Manager Liu went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Chen, Romeo told me that you were


    nning to bid for a consultation from Encyclo Hall for some answers, right?"


    Fade nodded. "Here''s the thing. I''m searching for someone, but the trail went cold. I want to look for


    some clues from Encyclo Hall."


    "Well, generally speaking, it shouldn''t be a problem for us to search for a person," Manager Liu


    said.


    A satisfied smile painted across Fade''s face. "If so, Manager Liu, could you sell the consultation


    opportunity to me now? I''m willing to pay for it at any price."
