Chapter 1484


    Looking at how excited ra was, and how she didn''t stutter when she addressed him as ''Brother


    Fade", Keith couldn''t help but narrow his eyes. He grew even more hostile towards him.


    "Hello, Mr. Chen." He hid the anger in his gaze. Keith showed a smile, and took the initiative to


    extend his right hand to Fade to greet him.

    Although Keith had his expression under control, but in the eyes of such a skillful martial artist, Fade


    could see all the micro-expressions on his face.


    Fade could clearly see the hostility in his gaze.


    Therefore, he was not very polite to him, and he just greeted him ndly.


    Such an attitude made Keith even more dissatisfied with him. He frowned slightly and then asked,


    "How did you two get to know each other?"


    Before Fade could answer, ra answered excitedly beside him, "Keith, we met Brother Chen while


    we were at the Dragon Mausoleum. Back then we came across a robber, and Brother Chen came


    to our rescue. We..."


    Upon hearing this, Keith roughly understood what


    was going on.


    The Moo family had a martial arts background. Thus, taking part in the excavation of the Dragon


    Mausoleum was not something unusual.


    However, Keith was not interested in these things. The Zheng family was a family of business, and


    they already had plenty of businesses in the country. Now, they were looking to expand to other


    countries.


    Besides, his father, Salman Zheng, was also a member of the officialdom. He started as an ordinary


    wealthy entrepreneur, andter, he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the


    Southern District. Concurrently, he was also amittee member of the Department of Commerce.


    Over the years, his father had taught him a lot of things. Money was important, but power was even


    more important. However, if you had money, you would only be someone who owns a little more


    money. In front of a really powerful big shot, money was nothing at all. Someone powerful could turn


    all the wealth you had worked so hard for, into nothing.


    Therefore, Salman had been working on his power, constantly raising his status. His ultimate goal


    was to be the best businessman of the era.


    He had high hopes for such a goal. Keith was very confident in his own father as well.


    After all, back then, the Zheng family was just considered an average, small family. Compared to


    the Moo family, they were even a little weaker than them. However, after years of hard work, the


    Zheng family had improved by leaps and bounds and they had overtaken the Moo family in terms of


    wealth and power.


    If that wasn''t the case, Taufeeq wouldn''t have invited the father and son pair of the Zheng family


    over to celebrate the Lantern Festival.


    Of course, they wouldn''te all the way here just for nothing. They had their eyes on the Moo


    family''s martial arts.


    Although in Keith''s mind, he prioritized money and power over marital arts. However, the Moo family


    had been practicing martial arts for hundreds of years, thus they had quite a high status and wealth.


    If the Zheng family could make use of this, then it would greatly benefit them.


    In the eyes of the Zheng family, the entire Moo family was nothing more than just a tool for them to


    take advantage of.


    As for martial artists like Fade, in Keith''s opinion, they were nothing more than just pure brute force.


    They weren''t worth a lot. He could hire any of these martial artists at any time.


    Thinking of this, he regarded Fade with even more disdain. Without waiting for ra to introduce


    him further, he asked, "So Mr. Chen is also a martial artist! Where are you from? Where have you


    learnt your martial arts from? From your family, or from a master?"


    Fade then answered, "No, I just practice by myself."


    Upon hearing this, Keith''s impression of him dropped even further. He would have some value if he


    had learned his martial arts from some master, or from his family.


    Now, it seemed like he just learned his martial arts by himself, and coincidentally, he had helped


    ra once. Thus, the Moo family was grateful to him.


    Keith did not pay much attention to someone like him, nor was he interested in making friends with


    him.


    Therefore, he did not continue the conversation with Fade. Keith turned away and said to ra,


    "ra, my father and the others should be here now. Let''s go back."


    "Ah, this..." She was just excitedly introducing Fade''s various heroic deeds and powerful martial


    arts, but had been interrupted by Keith. Now that she was about to leave, she suddenly seemed a


    little upset.


    However, she knew how important the Zheng family was to her father. Therefore, she managed to


    squeeze out a smile and nodded. "Okay, Keith, let''s go back."


    She then turned around and waved goodbye to Fade. "Goodbye, Brother Chen. I''ll be waiting for


    you at the Lantern Festival!"


    Fade nodded and waved his hand with a smile. "Goodbye, I will be there."


    After watching both ra and Keith leave, Fade turned around and went back to his room.


    When he went back, Moore and Joey had finished their conversation, and asked Fade to enter.


    He looked at the tear marks at the corners of their eyes, as well as the smiles on their lips. He could


    not help but let out a sigh of relief as he smiled. It seemed that the father and daughter pair had a


    delightful conversation, and their hearts had been reconciled.


    After talking for some time, Fade learned that they had been honest, and told each other all of their


    experiences.


    After getting adopted by Aldred, Joey had spent most of her time on Tianwu Mountain, training. One


    year ago, she had secretly run down the mountain, and her life was rtively simple.


    Moore''s experience was obviously much more bitter. After his family was hunted down, he had


    wanted to use himself as bait, and allow both his wife and daughter to escape. However, his wife


    and daughter had been hunted down by the Chiang family. In the end, there wasn''t even a trace of


    their whereabouts, and they might even be dead.


    Moore, who was in extreme grief and indignation, had just barely escaped the Chiang family''s


    pursuit. In the following twenty years, he had been in hiding, and lived like a coward. He thought of


    ways to enhance his own strength, to search for traces of his wife and daughter, and to get his


    revenge on the Chiang family.


    These things had basically upied his past twenty years, and he had been living a bitter and tiring


    life.


    Moore had never been happy in the past twenty years, but at that very moment, he wasughing


    with a bright smile on his face.


    The father and daughter were happy, and Fade was relieved. He then mentioned ra''s invitation


    to them. "Master Chen, Joey. In a few days, there will be a Lantern Festival at Wavey River in the


    Zobery District. Someone has invited us to participate. Are you interested in going?"
