Chapter 1501


    Cadmus looked stormy as he red fiercely at Taufeeq. Through gritted teeth, he spoke, "Taufeeq,


    do you know what you''re doing? Do you know how your choice will affect the Moo family?"


    Taufeeq''s gaze was resolute as he answered, "Cadmus, stop it. I''ve made myself very clear. If you


    want Mr. Chen, then get me out of the way first."


    "You —" Cadmus'' expression darkened significantly.


    At that moment, Salman and Keith stood among the Chai family. They began speaking in a chiding


    tone.


    "Taufeeq, why are you doing this? Is it worth it, for a mere outsider?"


    "Mr. Moo, Fade is a cunning man. Don''t let him deceive you."


    "Cunning?" Taufeeq scoffed with abandon. "Keith, you and your father are the real experts in


    conning people. You''ve been fooling around with me these few days, but you still ended up turning


    tail to the Chai family. Don''t you think it''s ironic for you to be using people of being ''cunning''?"


    Salman shook his head. He was a picture of calmess as he said to Taufeeq, "Taufeeq, I may have


    hidden things from you, but when all is said and done, you''re just far too naive."


    "It isn''t as though I''m not willing to support the Moo family. It''s just that you weren''t willing to meet


    my condition. Since we can''t reach an agreement for this partnership, I have no choice but to find


    another partner."


    "Partnership?" When Taufeeq heard that, he felt the sting of being mocked. "Don''t insult that word. I


    treated you as my brother, but all you did was try to annex the Moo family. Is that a partnership to


    you? Are you calling yourself my partner?"


    Taufeeq bellowed furiously.


    Salman shook his head with a sigh. Then, he replied, "Taufeeq, I don''t have the time to quibble over


    petty issues with you. In short, in my opinion, this is nothing more than business."


    "The Moo family couldn''t fulfil my conditions, but the Chai family did. Of course I would choose to


    partner up with the Chai family. We are all businessmen. I believe there is amon understanding


    here."


    "Is the Chai family capable of fulfilling your conditions?" Taufeeq asked icily.


    Salman nced at Cadmus, who smiled and answered, "Salman wanted the Moo family, you


    refused it. Hence, us Chai family members will give him what he wishes, on your behalf."

    At that, Taufeeq became solemn. He red at Cadmus fiercely and spoke through gritted teeth,


    "Cadmus, do you want to start a full-scale war between our families?"


    Based on what Cadmus said, the Chai family agreed to give Salman the Moo family. Essentially,


    this meant that the Chai family wanted to take over the Moo family. It was a deration of war.


    Thus, Taufeeq reacted noticeably upon hearing what Cadmus said.


    Cadmus, opposite Taufeeq, was rtively calmpared to the infuriated Taufeeq. With narrowed


    eyes, Cadmus spoke in a chilly tone, "The Chai family is not afraid of a full-scale war."


    "You!" Rage bubbled furiously inside Taufeeq at Cadmus'' reply.


    But before Taufeeq could finish what he was about to say, Cadmus interrupted him. "Let''s set these


    things aside for the time being. Now, let me ask you onest time. Will you hand Fade Chen over, or


    not?"


    Cadmus waved his hand as he spoke. Royce, the hooded man, smiled smugly as he walked over.


    He radiated a threatening aura that was not lost on Taufeeq and the Moo family members.


    "I- I already said that if you want Mr. Chen, you''ll have to face me first." Taufeeq''s eyes were wide


    open, and he clenched his jaw as he spoke. In tandem, positive energy burst out from his body,


    meeting Royce''s head-to-head.


    Royce felt the resistanceing from Taufeeq. He snorted, "Do you want to try your hand with me,


    Mr. Moo? I''d like to see what level the Moo family is at, with their centuries of martial arts


    experience in Zobery District."


    Salman was still gloating at the moment. Hemented from the side, "Taufeeq, don''t forget that


    Mr. Ma''s master and also father is none other than Windley, Master Ma of Paradox Mountain."


    At the mention of Windley''s name, Taufeeq couldn''t help but tremble. A hint of fear shed through


    his eyes, but he remained steadfast in the end.


    Cadmus'' eyes narrowed to slits when he noticed that. Then, he nodded to Royce and said, "Mr. Ma,


    I''m sorry for the trouble."


    Royce smiled and clenched his fist so tightly that one could hear his joints crack. With a sinister


    smile, he walked over. "None of the three men just now were powerful. Honestly speaking, I didn''t


    even move my muscles much. Now, things are finally getting interesting."


    "I hope you won''t let me down, Mr. Moo!" Royce was a picture of arrogance. He was about to burst


    out into full offensive mode as he locked his gaze on Taufeeq.


    Taufeeq gritted his teeth. He was about to charge forward when arge handtched onto his


    shoulder and pulled him back. "Mr. Moo, let me handle it!"


    Taufeeq angled his head and saw that it was Fade holding him back. He couldn''t suppress his


    surprise. "Mr. Chen, I—"


    Fade gave a slight smile to Taufeeq and said nonchntly, "Mr. Moo, since their target is me, I


    should be the one to settle things with them!"


    "But Mr. Chen, it''s all because of us that you —" Taufeeq began.


    Fade shook his head and interrupted softly, "Don''t overthink it. I can handle them easily. It''ll be a


    piece of cake."


    Fade stepped forward, greeting Royce with a neutral expression.


    Royce fixed his gaze on Fade and narrowed his eyes, eyeing Fade up and down. He taunted, "Little


    brat, you think handling me will be a piece of cake? How arrogant you are! I wonder if your strength


    will match up to your bluffs?"


    Fade said in a lukewarm tone, "You''ll soon find out." "Really?" Royce red at Fade, then made the


    first move.


    However, Fade angled his body to the side, dodging Royce''s attack.


    When Royce saw that, he sneered, "Why did you dodge it? Weren''t you so confident just now?"


    Calmly, Fade said, "This venue is inconvenient. Let''s move to another ce."


    After saying that, Fade jumped up dozens of meters into the air,nding on the Moo family''s boat.


    Royce followed suit, cing himself on the Chai family''s boat.


    The two stood at the bow of each boat, facing each other. Their auras brimmed in the air.


    The audience got riled up with excitement as they watched. Once more, the buzz of chattering filled


    the air.


    "Is this going to be another good show?"


    "They''re going to fight. It''s between Royce and a distinguished guest of the Moo family, Mr. Chen."


    "Mr. Chen? I recall that he''s a martial arts master."


    "Oh, he''s an expert? Taufeeq requested him to fight before, but he didn''t even dare go onto the


    field. How could he be an expert?"


    "My bet is on Royce. After all, his martial arts skill is at the Earth Level. His father is Master Windley,


    the semi-master."


    "That''s for sure. There''s nothing to specte about."
