Chapter 1428
"Gosh, forget it. I''ve been staring my eyes out and still can''t figure it out. This reward just isn''t
something that someone like me can get."
"Let''s try it again. Maybe we''ll be able to crack it."
"Absolutely. It''ll be good enough to break even only one of them. If Moore can bring out the Frost
Plum Blossom, there must be some other good stuff in his possession too."
In the midst of the discussion, Fade did not choose to break the formation first. Instead, hetched
his gaze on Moore, the stall owner who was squatting on the ground.
Moore was a middle- aged man. His hair was tousled and his clothes were rather unkempt. He
looked no different from the street folks in the city.
However, Fade felt a deep aura from Moore. It felt as if he was akin to theke water, which surface
looked ordinary and calm, but something exceptional was hidden beneath that.
"He''s an expert, a powerful expert," Fade evaluated in his heart.
Then, he looked away and focused his attention on the three formations, starting to solve them.
Not long after, just when Fade was still in his thoughts, a burst of noisy footsteps came rushing in
this direction.
A man in his thirties was leading a group of people and wading through the crowd. They squeezed
straight to the front of the stall.
As soon as he got in, the man shouted at Moore with an arrogant tone, "Hey, how much are you
selling the Frost Plum Blossom for?"
Moore looked up at the man, then he pointed to the linen cloth on the ground and said faintly, "Just
break the formation. There''s no price on it."
Hearing this, the young man suddenly frowned and said coldly, "I did try to be nice with you, didn''t I.
I, Farrell Hu, don''t believe that there''s something that can''t be bought for money."
"I''ll make it clear right now. I''ll take this Frost Plum Blossom," After finishing his words, Farrell
chucked a bank card at Moore and said, "Well, I won''t rip you off. There''s fifty million yuan in this
card, I''m buying this."
Farrell bent down and was about to pick up the Frost Plum Blossom from the stall.
Seeing this, the crowd started murmuring among them.
"He''s too conceited. It is already stated that it''s not for sale, yet he is forcing the owner!"
"Goodness, he''s Farrell Hu, the young master to the Hu family. You just can''t refuse him, do you get
me?"
"Farrell Hu? Is he that powerful of a man? His name doesn''t ring a bell in the martial arts world,
though."
"He''s not from our world; he''s from the officials. Do you still not get it?"
"So full of himself just because he''s an official? He can''t just force someone else to sell that to him!
What the h*ll?"
"I agree. We martial artists hate it the most when someone tries to bully others with nothing else but
their social status."
"You guys better stop with that. Although the Hu family is not from our martial arts world, still, they
have connections to our world, and as officials, they can easily torture us."
"What connections?"
"The Zhao family! Haven''t you heard of it?"
"The Zhao family? I haven''t heard of that either. Are they well known? Why didn''t I spot anyone from
the Zhao family in the Martial Arts Convention then?"
"Man, they won''t even be bothered to participate."
"Let me tell you this. For decades long, the Zhao family have been serving the renowned figures as
personal bodyguards. They are equivalent to the imperial pce guards in ancient times. The Zhao
family have already established their status in the world of officials, so why would they bat an eyelid
in events like this?"
"No wonder..."
Most people in the crowd couldn''t stomach the scene, but after learning Farrell''s identity, they all
had to take a step back, lest they provoked someone like him.
Farrell had only grown even haughty with people in the crowd acknowledging his background. He
red at Moore and said, "You hear that? You won''t get away with this if you said no."
"Just take the money and scram. You can still make a fortune at this, ''cause otherwise I won''t be
paying you a cent!" He snorted.
Furious as the martial artists in the crowd were at his attitude, they could only hold back their anger.
Some of them even started to rope Moore into this exchange.
"Boss, let''s just ept it! At least you get the
money."
"That''s right. It''s better not to provoke people who we can''t afford to offend."
"As the saying goes, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit!"
Moore was expressionless as the crowd around him started persuading him. He did not pick up the
bank card, but instead, he stretched out his right hand and pressed Farrell''s right hand. He said
coldly, "I said, unless you break the formation, or else no one can take this Frost Plum Blossom
away."
"What did you say?" Farrell''s face fell. He stared at Moore with a frigid glint in his eyes.
Farrell''s men strode out and yelled at the stall owner.
"Let go of Young Master Hu."
"You are courting death. Let go of him."
"Or else we won''t spare you mercy."
In the face of those threats, Moore remained unfazed. With a determined look, he shook his head
slightly and repeated, "I''ve said that no one can take away my Frost Plum Blossom unless they
break the formation."
"D*mn it, you are seeking death!" Light in his eyes dimmed, Farrell cried out, "Kill him!"
In an instant, his followers barricaded Moore and were about to attack him.
Although the onlookers around sympathized with Moore, no one was willing to get involved with the
Hu family. Moreover, Farrell''s followers were obviously not people to be trifled with.
Every single one of them was a martial practitioner with a solid foundation of skills beyond the ck
Level. If there were seven or eight of thembined together, even a martial artist of the Earth
Level would have to think twice before engaging in the fight.
Just as the fight was about to set into motion, Fade, who was on the side, stepped forward and
said, "You''re going overboard!"

Upon hearing this, Farrell looked over at Fade and sized him up. Then, he smirked and said, "Who
do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business? Are you on a suicide mission?"
Farrell wasn''t a martial artist, and he hadn''t attended the Martial Arts Convention. Therefore, he
didn''t know Fade at all. Naturally, he looked down on him since Fade was but a young man to him.
Bereft of a hint of emotion, Fade looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Moore has already set his
own rules. Not abiding by the rules means you''re making trouble, and I hate troublemakers the
most."
"Who the f*ck are you? Do I, Farrell Hu, look like I care about your opinions?" Farrell spat and
waved his hand, "Get him out of my way and teach him a lesson.
"What the h*ll is happening with everyone acting against me," Farrell said, his tone dripping hubris.
A few of his followers immediately changed targets and were about to attack Fade.
