Chapter 1496


    ra exined to him, "Brother Chen, someone who has reached the Heaven Level in the martial


    arts realm would be called a martial arts master. You know that, right? Since Master Windley of the


    Paradox Mountain has trained for more than a decade in the Earth Level, his skills would be so


    outstanding that he''s merely a step away from being in the Heaven Level."


    "There was even a warrior who imed that Master Windley''s strength was beyond the Heaven


    Level''s juniors. However, Master Windley has yet to cultivate and break through the Heaven Level.


    Hence, people call Master Windley a semi-master to acknowledge his potential and status in the


    martial arts realm."


    "Royce is Master Windley''s son. He was famous since young for being talented in martial arts. He


    was even stronger than his father. By his thirties, he was already at the middle stage of Earth Level


    and he will be trying toplete the Earth Level''sst training soon."


    "People spected that Royce''s achievements in martial arts should surpass Master Windley''s, and


    he will be a martial arts master in the future."


    "The father-son duo, Master Windley and Royce, are well- known and respected martial artists.


    Many visitors hade from afar to the Paradox Mountain to meet them and requested for their


    help. However, they rejected every request."


    "It was rather unexpected that the Chai family would be able to invite Royce over for a fight. That''s


    why everyone was shocked."


    After hearing ra''s exnation, Fade seemed to understand the whole situation. He nodded and


    eximed, "So that was what happened!"


    At this moment, Taufeeq cast a worried nce at Fade. He said anxiously, "Mr. Chen, I-"


    Although he knew what was going on and he knew that the Moo family was on the possible verge of


    losing in martial arts skills, Fade insisted on his decision. He didn''t n to help them. After all, that


    was the battle rules and it was up to the Chai family who chose to fight for themselves. He had no


    say in it.


    So, Fade replied Taufeeq, "Mr. Moo, I''m sorry!"


    Without further exnation, Taufeeq immediately understood what Fade meant. A look of


    disappointment filled his face, his mouth twitched as if he wanted to further beg, but he didn''t say


    anything in the end.


    He went forward and whispered something to the butler. After a moment, the judges announced


    after receiving the news. The Moo family forfeited the match and they voluntarily quit.


    The conclusion of this battle was that the Chai family who depended on Royce to turn the tables


    had won the battle.


    Taufeeq''s decision was also the final result of his careful consideration. His best-case scenario was


    to persuade Fade to step into the battlefield, but it didn''t work out.


    Therefore, he had no choice but to give up. He could have tried to put up a fight if the martial artist


    was anonymous. However, this anonymous man''s identity was revealed, and it turned out to be


    Royce, a well-known martial artist.


    This situation worried Taufeeq. Although his skills were towards the advanced stage of the Earth


    Level, which was higher than Royce, Master Windley''s reputation was too great. The martial arts


    realm in the South also knew Royce''s strength. Taufeeq had to consider these facts. If he had to put


    up the fight embarrassingly and ended up losing, it would then be a tragedy.


    As a result of these facts, Taufeeq made the call to forfeit the match. Only through this method,


    could he maintain the Moo family''s image by not losing the battle.


    On the other hand, Taufeeq had his expectations for the civil battle. Even if he lost the martial arts


    battle, he could regain his reputation from the civil battle. After all, he had put in plenty of effort in


    inviting his old friend, Salman, to pair up with him. Then, they could defeat the Chai family without a


    doubt.


    Thinking of this, Taufeeq nced at Salman and said, "Salman, we are depending on you now."


    Salman narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded to Taufeeq. "Don''t worry, Taufeeq. I won''t let you


    down."


    "Thank you, Salman!" Taufeeq thanked Salman gratefully with a smile.


    Keith smiled proudly and somewhat raised his head after he had observed the situation aside. He


    seemed excited and purposely nced at Fade before saying to ra, "ra, didn''t you say that


    there was someone else who was stronger? What happened? Did the person choose to back out


    after knowing that it was a martial artist like Royce? What a joke!"


    "Keith, don''t talk nonsense. Brother Chen, he —" ra stuttered to defend Fade.


    However, Fade did not care about him at all. He gripped ra and said, "ra, there''s no need to


    waste your breath on someone unnecessary.


    There''s no point in doing this." "You-" Keith''s temper rose and he red at Fade. His face flustered


    angrily when he saw how close Fade was to ra. He had the urge to punch someone at this


    moment.


    Suddenly, a burst of drumrolls red, and the whole ce became lively.


    Someone shouted, "The next round of sending festiventerns is beginning!"


    Before his voice died away, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers on the scene. The whole ce


    was boiling in action.


    The Chai family and the Moo family stood at the wooden building and they exchanged nces.


    Then, they each beamed a confident look on their faces.


    Fade noticed this and felt curious. He asked, "It''s just sending a festiventern. What''s with the


    excitement?"


    ra exined, "Brother Chen, sending a festiventern isn''t as simple as you think. This is


    actually the remaining of the contest."


    "Sending out festiventerns is part of the contest?" Fade eximed in surprise.


    ra exined to Fade in detail, "Brother Chen, it''s not about the festiventerns. It''s about the


    person who is sending the festiventern."


    "In this part, the organizations behind each boat will gather their families and friends. The capable


    leaders from all walks of life wille to deliver the festiventerns. In the end, the one with the


    highest number of festiventerns shall be determined to have the highest position in power. This


    also means that his family has a great number of supporters and shall be crowned winner of this


    civil battle."


    After listening to her exnation, Fade came to a realization.


    It turned out that the so-called civil battle was not as simple as he thought. Instead, it was a


    competition of high- ranking officials who were supporting each particr organization. To conclude,


    it was topete about who had the best backing behind them.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    No wonder Taufeeq had a great amount of respect for the father- son, Salman and Keith. After all,


    Salman''s profile as the head of the council and an employee of the Industrial and Commercial


    Bureau would be useful in such a situation like this.


    When Fade came to his senses and looked at the Wavey River again, thepetition scene was


    even more hyped up.
