Chapter 1495


    Amidst all themotion, on the Chai family''s side, Cadmus had a proud smirk on his face as he


    nced at Taufeeq.


    Taufeeq''s expression was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he seemed a little tense.


    He had never expected this to happen. After Laxton was defeated, the Moo family had no one else


    to fight against Royce, although he still had a chance to find another substitute to rece thest


    contestant.


    However, the only one stronger than Laxton in the entire Moo family was Taufeeq himself.


    However, if Taufeeq were to participate in the tournament himself then it would greatly affect their


    Moo family''s reputation. Unless he was forced to the corner, he would never have thought of fighting


    by himself.


    However, seeing what was going on, the Moo family was really going to lose this fight if he doesn''t


    participate in thepetition himself.


    Taufeeq''s expression turned grave as he tried to figure out the best course of action.


    Without a doubt, the best course of action now was to find someone else stronger to rece the


    third contestant of the Moo family in facing Royce.


    If that really were to happen, then Taufeeq has to participate in the fight, but this was going to affect


    the Moo family''s reputation before the fight itself even began.


    The worst option was to admit defeat, meaning the Moo family would lose to the Chai family in


    terms of their strongest aspect, martial arts, and this was definitely not something Taufeeq wanted


    to see.


    While Taufeeq was still hesitating, Cadmus, who was on the other side, took the initiative to say,


    "Master Taufeeq, this match is over. Have you decided who would be the third contestant of the


    Moo family?"


    "I..." Taufeeq was at a loss for words for a moment.


    Cadmus said mockingly, "If there''s no one else in the Moo family, then just admit defeat. It''s better


    to avoid having another injured person."


    Upon hearing this, Taufeeq''s face darkened and his body erupted with rage.


    However, his anger then turned into helplessness. He had no idea what to do right now.


    The best choice was to find someone else more skillful as a recement. His gaze fell on Fade and


    he couldn''t take his eyes off him.


    He didn''t doubt Fade''s strength at all. He was a Heaven Level martial artist and he had once


    defeated the Chiang family masters. It would not be a problem for him to defeat Royce.


    But now, the biggest problem was how he could get Fade to agree to fight on behalf of the Moo


    family.


    He quickly thought of various ways, such as begging, offering him benefits and temptations, and he


    might even start getting emotional by saying that he has a close rtionship with his daughter.


    However, Taufeeq quickly dispelled all those ideas in his mind. He knew that all his tricks were


    meaningless to Fade.


    In the end, he still chose the most direct and frank method. He stared at Fade and requested, "Mr.


    Chen, our Moo family is in a tight situation. I would like to ask you to represent our Moo family in the


    fight."


    After that, Taufeeq bowed to Fade with a sincere pleading expression on his face.


    Hearing this, Fade was silent for a moment and he didn''t speak. He vaguely squinted his eyes and


    stared at Taufeeq for a few seconds.


    If it was just a fight, Fade had no problem helping them.


    But now, this battle was between the Moo and the Chai families. This was a crucial moment in Long


    City, even in the entire Zobery District, and Fade wasn''t interested to be part of this.


    Moreover, Fade was also somewhat dissatisfied with Taufeeq''s indifferent manner regarding how he


    handled ra and Keith''s engagement.


    After a brief hesitation, Fade decided that he wanted none of this. After all, he wanted to take a


    break with Moore and Joey by visiting the Lantern Festival and enjoy themselves. He did not intend


    to join a fight.


    Once he had made up his mind, Fade was about to open his mouth to speak.


    Taufeeq seemed to have sensed Fade''s intention in rejecting his request. Without waiting for Fade


    to speak, he once again pleaded, "Mr. Chen, please help our Moo family once more for the sake of


    ra and I. The Moo family will definitely be very grateful to you."


    A disapproving expression appeared on Keith''s face when he saw this. He said disdainfully in a low


    voice, "Mr. Moo, you don''t have to do this! If others saw the way you beg such a youngd, you


    would definitely be aughing stock."


    ra defended, "Keith, don''t talk nonsense if you don''t know anything. Brother Chen is really


    skillful. He is a real master of martial arts. Do you think my father would be aughing stock if he


    personally requested Brother Chen to fight on behalf of us?"


    "A real master of martial arts? Him? I don''t believe it." Keith had an unbelieving look on his face.

    Upon hearing this, ra was both furious and dissatisfied. She wanted to speak up for Fade.


    But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of exmation at the scene, next up an outburst of


    discussion followed. It was as if a drop of water had dripped into a pot of boiling hot oil, suddenly


    bursting outwards violently.


    The conversation on the Moo family''s side was immediately interrupted. Everyone turned to look at


    the boats.


    Immediately, they realized the reason for everyone''s exmation. The hooded man had his hood


    blown off by the night breeze. It slipped down, revealing his face.


    He seemed like a young man. His cheeks were thin, his jaw was angr, and there was an evil grin


    on the corners of his mouth, which gave him an inexplicable sense of self-confidence.


    "It''s him! It''s actually him!" Taufeeq couldn''t help but be astounded when he saw the man. His


    expression instantly turned unpleasant, and his face seemed more gloomypared to when


    Laxton was defeated. "No wonder Laxton was defeated. I didn''t expect it to be him!"


    "How much did the Chai family pay to invite this master to help them?"


    "No wonder. Now I understand. Everything is clear now."


    The surroundingmotion caused Fade''s face to be filled with bewilderment. He looked at ra


    in confusion.


    ra''s beautiful face also looked a little ufortable at this moment. She exined to Fade in a


    low voice, "Brother Chen, the man in the hood is Royce Ma."


    "Royce Ma? Is he famous?" Fade frowned as if he had never heard of him.


    Before ra could exin, Keith said mockingly, "You''re still putting on an act. Are you even a


    martial artist? You don''t even know Royce Ma!"


    "Let me exin. Royce Ma is from Paradox Mountain and he is the son of the semi-master, Windley


    Ma. He is also the actual apprentice of his very own biological father. Now, you know!"


    "Windley Ma?" Fade still felt a little estranged.
