Chapter 1541


    After that, Afton hung up the phone. His eyes were serious and cold. He calmed down and shook


    his head beforemanding his men to continue cleaning up the scene.


    Just then, in the courtyard of the Xu family, Pascha was rooted to the ground, unable to make a


    move. The beeping tone of the mobile phone could still be heard as he was still holding it.


    "Old Master, Old Master!"


    In the end, he finally came to his senses after being nudged by his secretary. He handed the phone


    to his secretary and walked to his room.


    When his secretary, Anstice, noticed his pale face, she looked worried as she followed behind him,


    "Old Master, let me help you. You should get some rest..."


    "No, you may leave. Leave me alone for a while," Pascha waved his hand. He then slowly hobbled


    into the room.


    Right then, he hadpletely lost his previous high-spirited appearance, and he seemed to have


    aged a lot in an instant.


    Although Anstice was worried, she could only turn around and go about her own business when


    Pascha asked her to leave.


    However, not long after, she suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by a noisymotioning


    from outside.


    All of a sudden, she felt her heart drop, and she immediately rushed out.


    She hurried into the courtyard. At that moment, many people had gathered in the yard, and each of


    them was looking extremely frightened as they kept retreating.


    Anstice pushed through the crowd and rushed over. Then, she saw a man lying face down on the


    grass.


    The person had mmed head first into the grass, and his skull had be deformed from the


    impact of the fall. Beneath the body, a pool of dark red blood had formed, staining the green grass a


    crimson ruby color.


    Looking up again, she noticed that Pascha''s coat was still hanging on the balcony on the third floor,


    dancing along with the wind.


    "The Old Master, he..." She muttered. She recalled hisst few words and the silence that overcame


    Pascha after he made the call just moments ago. She murmured in a daze, "The Xu family is


    finished!"


    The next day, the whole Southzobe City was in an uproar.


    In this era where all kinds of news travelled fast, people had already gotten used to all kinds of


    strange and shocking news.


    Yet, when the news of six Xu family members being killed in an abandoned factory, as well as the


    suicide of the Xu family''s Old Master, Pascha Xu, broke out, Southzobe City, and even the entire


    Zobery District were swept with shock and disbelief.


    All kinds of gossip and rumors quickly spread.


    There were many different spections trying to exin the sudden death of the six Xu family


    members, as well as Pascha''s death, but there was no evident conclusion. Nheless, the final


    consensus that everyone had arrived at was eerily simr: the Xu family''s era was officially over.


    The Xu family, which could almost represent the official government of Southzobe City, suddenly


    copsed, catching everyone off guard.


    Of course, back at the Choo family''s house, ra, Hailey, Heinz, and the rest knew what was going


    on!


    They already thought Fade was extremely admirable, but after knowing what had happened, they


    were even more in awe of him.


    The well- informed rich and powerful people in Southzobe City quickly came to visit the Choo family.


    One by one, they presented Fade with all kinds of precious gifts, hoping they could get close to him.


    Nevertheless, he was not interested. He refused to meet any of them, and sent all of them away.


    Moore, on the other hand, found Fade. He had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he had a


    question he wanted to ask.


    Seeing this, Fade said directly, "Master Chen, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."


    Moore nodded and asked, "Fade, Joey told me before that she trained under Master Hsuanyuen


    from Tianwu Mountain in martial arts, just like you."


    "That''s true!" Fade confirmed it.


    Moore continued, "Joey also told me that your current strength has already reached the peak of the


    Heaven Level, which is very powerful. As for her, she has attained the strength of the midHeaven


    Level stages."


    "That''s true too." Fade said, "Master Chen, if you want to improve your cultivation, I can..."


    Moore shook his head and exined, "I''m not in a hurry to increase my cultivation for the time


    being.


    What I wanted to ask was why Joey was captured by Maldrick''s men despite being so strong? It


    seems..."


    Speaking of this, Fade''s face couldn''t help but sink, and his expression grew a little serious.


    "Is there anything you are notfortable telling me? If that''s the case, I won''t ask any more


    questions," Moore smiled.


    Fade shook his head and said with a sigh, "It''s nothing much. It''s just that I thought that she would


    tell you herself."


    "What''s the matter?" An ominous feeling rose in Moore''s heart.


    Fade revealed, "When my master brought Joey back to Tianwu Mountain, she was seriously injured


    and was on the verge of death."


    "Thankfully, he managed to save her. However, she was already seriously injured in the first ce.


    Even if he rescued her himself, she was still very weak, even more so than most ordinary people."


    "If so, Joey..." Hearing this, Moore couldn''t help but feel his heart ache.

    Fade continued, "Master taught her martial arts from an early age in order to train her body. His


    original intention was to help her build up some muscles and keep her in good health." "He never


    expected Joey''s potential in martial arts to be astonishing. She surpassed most of the martial artists


    and made rapid progress."


    "Initially, it was good news for any martial artist to improve quickly, but for Joey, there was an


    exception."


    Moore couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong with her?"


    Fade sighed, "Joey was seriously injured when she was a child. Apart from her severe injuries, her


    internal injuries were pretty bad, affecting her meridians and several organs."


    "It wasn''t such a big problem at first. However, as her cultivation increased, the positive energy


    within her continued to grow denser and circte quicker. Because of that, her weak meridians and


    her dantian were unable to withstand the impact of the positive energy."


    "That was why Master forbade her from cultivating martial arts. At the same time, she persevered


    and insisted on cultivating. She was also looking forward to her sess in her cultivation and


    finding traces of her parents."


    "Hence, Master thought of a lot of ways to help her. He used a lot of different medicinal concoctions


    to help her repair her meridians and her dantian. However, it wasn''t enough. She had to slow down


    her cultivation. If not, her meridians and her dantian would explode from the sheer impact of the


    positive energy circting within her."


    "Master once said that Joey''s talent in cultivation is no less than mine. If it wasn''t for her body,


    perhaps she would have already long surpassed z-x me."


    At that thought, Fade couldn''t help but sigh heavily, and his gaze was filled with resignation and


    empathy.
