Chapter 1504


    Cadmus'' expression darkened significantly after being called out Fade. He wanted to dere "yes"


    to his statement with confidence, but he couldn''t. The word was stuck in his throat, and he couldn''t


    bring himself to say it.


    Fade snorted and shifted his attention to Salman and Keith. He said coldly to the father and son


    duo, "Do you have anything to say?"


    Keith seemed irked and wanted to say something. However, Salman, who was next to him, stopped


    his son and shook his head. In the end, he did not say anything but bowed his head and retreated


    to the back.


    Full of indignation, Keith nced at Fade and then whispered to his father, "Dad, why don''t you let


    me speak? That guy is too arrogant."


    Salman''s face turned stoic as he mumbled back, "Didn''t you see how strong he was just now?


    You''re courting death if you offend him now, do you understand?"


    Keith gritted his teeth and hissed, "I don''t think he would dare to touch me. I''m your son, and


    Pascha Xu''s grandson. Even if he''s strong in martial arts, he won''t dare to do anything to me.


    Otherwise,


    Grandpa wouldn''t let him off the hook."


    Salman said, "Of course your grandfather is not afraid of him, but we are now at a disadvantage.


    Moreover, most of these warriors are rough men. If we provoke them, they will attack regardless of


    the consequences. By that time, it will be toote even for Master Xu to avenge us."


    Hearing this, Keith''s heartbeat started to quicken in fear. He wisely shut up and stopped talking.


    At this moment, Fade turned to the Chai family and loudly announced, "The Chai Family offended


    me for no reason. Now, what do you think you should do?"


    Cadmus'' expression was gloomy, his face muscles twitching. He bowed his head with a standard


    Kung Fu salute, an open left hand next to a closed right fist. "This time, it''s the Chai family''s fault.


    We apologize to Mr. Chen, and to show our sincerity, we''re willing topensate Mr. Chen fifty


    million yuan in cash as an apology."


    Upon hearing Cadmus'' words, the audience couldn''t help but stir inmotion.


    "Fifty million. That''s so much money. I could never earn that sum even in ten lifetimes."


    "He''s filthy rich now. He really got the jackpot this time." "Hmph, you''re so ignorant. Do you


    seriously think someone like Mr. Chen would be short of money?" "It''s not about money at all.


    What''s actually important is that the Chai family has surrendered. That''s the main point."


    "Chai family surrendering means that the Moo family still has a chance. The oue of the civil and


    martial artspetition may not necessarily be final yet!"


    Everyone was buzzing heatedly, but Fade remained quiet and didn''t say anything.


    Seeing this, Cadmus gritted his teeth and repeated, "Mr. Chen, the Chai family is willing to


    compensate a billion yuan. Please forgive us."


    "One billion?" Fade sneered to Cadmus, "Do you think I''m in need of money?"


    "Well-" Cadmus was stunned for a moment, taken aback. Then, he said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, please


    enlighten us on how we, the Chai family, can apologize to you!"


    Fade answered faintly, "It''s very simple. From now on, the Chai family shall leave Zobery District for


    good."


    "What!" Cadmus''s mouth gaped, eximing with shock.


    "That''s impossible!" Hod blurted out.


    Almost everyone in the Chai family spoke up at once, immediately refusing. The Chai family''s


    withdrawal from Zobery District would mean giving up on their years of umted hard work and


    their position as the top family in the district. From then on, they would also be banished from the


    list of top families in the Zobery District.


    For the Chai family, it was utterly uneptable.


    Therefore, their kneejerk reaction was rejection. There was no way they could agree to such a


    request.

    Upon hearing their refusal, Fade sneered. Holding the index and middle fingers of his right hand


    together to form a sword, he drew a sword symbol in the air and hacked at the wooden building


    where they stood.


    Frightened out of their wits, the Chai family scrambled to flee while their faces turned pale as paper.


    In the end, Fade''s sword brushed past them with a whoosh, the sharp edge slicing off all the cornice


    decorations on the side of the wooden building. Its surface was slicedpletely smoothly, proof of


    the sheer power the virtual sword held.


    "Now are you willing to leave the city?" Fade asked coldly.


    The Chai family looked like they were forced to swallow something nasty, their brows all scrunched


    up on their pale faces. Cadmus was at aplete loss. His sunken expression was constantly


    changing while he struggled internally.


    Leaving the ce would mean destroying everything that the Chai family had built with their blood,


    sweat and tears. But if they stayed, Fade''s powerful martial arts proved that they were no match to


    mess with him directly. Whatever the oue, the Chai family might end up being crushed in


    Fade''s hands.


    "We- we-" Logic told Cadmus that leaving was undoubtedly the most suitable choice. But the words


    were stuck in his throat, and he couldn''t bring himself to say them.


    Fade stared at Cadmus icily. "My patience is limited. You have ten seconds to decide."


    "Ten, nine..."


    The countdown began. As he counted, Fade''s voice sounded like the footsteps of a grim reaper in


    Cadmus'' ears, a ghoul that was slowly approaching to take away his life.


    "Five, four..."


    The countdown continued. The muscles on Cadmus'' face started to tremble violently. In the end,


    when Fade was about to reach the final second, he raised his head. With reddened eyes, he red


    at Fade with gritted teeth. With much difficulty, he hissed, "The Chai Family is willing to retreat-"


    Just when Cadmus was in the middle of announcing his decision, an aged but strong voice shouted,


    interrupting him. "Since when was an outsider allowed to decide the fate of the Chai family!"


    Everyone''s gaze immediately snapped towards the source of the voice.


    They saw an elder with white hair and youthful features, who was dressed in traditional Chinese


    clothing walking towards them in a solemn, imposing manner.


    His appearance made the Chai family forget they were in a dilemma in an instant. Overwhelmed


    with excitement, they hurried to greet the elder.


    "Dad, why are you here?" eximed Cadmus.


    "Grandpa, you''re here," Hod eximed, giving him a helping hand.


    The rest of the Chai family rushed forward. Even Salman and his son, Keith were thrilled to see him.


    They went forward and greeted, "Nice to meet you, Master Chai."


    At the sight of this old man, the audiences on both shores burst into chatter as well.


    "That''s Payton Chai, master of the Chai family." "Master Chai has appeared. The Chai family may


    have a turning point."


    "How can there be a turning point? Perhaps Payton is experienced and respected enough. But now,


    they are facing a crushing attack from an absolute force. Payton has no way to deal with it!"


    "Well, well, maybe Payton would have a solution. After all, he is Master Chai!"


    Meanwhile, on the Chai family''s side, Cadmus approached the Old Master with a distraught


    expression. "Dad, in this situation, we-"


    "You don''t need to say anything. I know what happened." Payton gave a wave, paused briefly then


    added, "He is not qualified to instruct the Chai Family''s retreat from the city just yet!"


    "But, Dad, Fade is very powerful. We—" Cadmus added worriedly,


    Payton interrupted him in a cold tone, "That is not an issue. How is Royce?"
