Chapter 1777
Fade frowned slightly and paused before speaking again, "I have indeede to East Coast
because of this matter, but it has nothing to do with this."
"Mr. Chen, we have alreadye to this point, so it''s meaningless if you continue to put up an act,"
Hiro spoke up as well, "You have saved Jenski and can be considered a benefactor of the Ceng
family, but if you want to make use of that debt to obtain benefits from us, we, the Ceng family are
not fools."
"Hiro, Brother Chen doesn''t mean that. Don''t utter nonsense." Jenski red and reprimanded him.
However, Derex also spoke up at this moment, "Jenski, you''re still young, so you don''t have enough
life experience and are easily manipted by others. Just keep silent about this matter."
He then looked at Fade immediately after, and spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, since we have
alreadye to this point, I''ll just make everything clear. If you hold prospects that the Ceng family
will intervene in the coboration between yourpany and the Qin family based on the kindness
you showed Jenski, I can directly tell you that this will never happen. The Ceng family would never
come into a conflict with the
Qin family over such a trivial matter."
Upon hearing this, Fade''s face couldn''t help but darken. He put down his spoon and his gaze turned
gloomy.
Thamar also said slowly right then, "Mr. Chen, if you are not satisfied with these gifts, the Ceng
family can add to it. However, we won''t have anything to do with each other after today."
The Ceng family was obviously worried that he would use the debt to pester them, so they wished
to make use of the banquet that day as a chance to repay the debt and be done with him.
"There''s no need for that." Fade put down his spoon. His face was serious and cold, and devoid of
emotions at the same time.
Beside him, Jenski became agitated at once, "Grandpa, Uncle Derex, how can you all act this way?
Brother Chen saved my life and is the benefactor of the Geng family. Today, I invited him as a guest.
Things aren''t what you think they are."
Hiro curled his lips and said, "Jenski, I say, you''re not a kid anymore. Why are you still so naive?
You think that just because he never spoke of it, he doesn''t have the motive!"
"What other motive can he have foring to the Geng family other than looking for benefits?" He
continued to sneer.

At this moment, Fade stood up and swept his gaze across all the Geng family members before
speaking coldly, "I have finally understood how the Geng family thinks of me. You really think that
I''m here just to ask for favors. What a joke."
With that, he nced at the gift box and said in a cold voice, "I have a worth of over tens of
billions. You can keep these miniscule things for yourself. As for the Qin family, I have never even
taken them to heart, let alone needed the help of the Geng family."
After he was finished speaking, Fade looked at Jenski, "Jenski, I have some business to take care
of. I''ll make a move first."
"Brother Chen, please wait a moment!" Jenski quickly shouted before looking at Thamar and the
rest of his family members as he spoke up, "Grandpa, I''ll be honest with you. I invited Brother Chen
as a guest to our Geng family to ask for his help in investigating my father''s incident."
"I hope that you can publicize the results of the investigation during that time and allow me and
Brother Chen to continue the investigation."
When the Geng family''s members heard Jenski''s speech, their expressions changed abruptly.
Thamar was especially perturbed. He mmed his hand on the table before standing up and
shouting harshly, "Jenski Geng, the nerve of you. How many times have I told you to stop thinking
about your father''s incident anymore? So you won''t even obey me now, huh?"
Jenski was also particrly distressed at this moment, "Grandpa, I don''t understand. Why won''t you
allow me to investigate my father''s incident? He''s your son, the eldest son of the Geng family. He
died so abruptly. Why won''t you investigate? Why won''t you let my father rest in peace?"
"Jenski, how can you speak to your grandfather in that manner!" Derex, who was standing at a side
bellowed, "We have already investigated your father''s incident at that time. Your father was ill and
he went insane. What''s there to investigate when it has passed for so many years?"
Hiro also spoke up, "Jenski, it''s also time for us, the Geng family, to look forward. We can''t keep
dwelling on a matter of the past."
"My father was fine all along. Why would he go insane for no reason? Moreover, I dug up some
clues from my trip to Dragonville. I suspect that..." Jenski said excitedly.
Thamar shouted furiously and cut him off, "Enough about this matter. No one is to investigate the
East Coast incident anymore. That''s all for now. If anyone intervenes abruptly in this matter again, I
won''t act kindly, even if he is a member of the Geng family."
After that, he turned around and strode away.
Derex red at Jenski before hurriedly following after Thamar.
Hiro on the other hand spoke up, "Jenski, Grandpa''s advancing in years. He won''t be able to bear
all the trouble you''re causing. It would be a disaster for the Geng family if you agitate and cause him
to fall ill."
With that, he left the room too.
Jenski was left alone, puzzled and full of grief. Indignation burned in his eyes.
Holding back the confusion and unwillingness in his heart, he took a deep breath and walked
towards Fade. He spoke apologetically, "Brother Chen, I''m sorry. I didn''t think that my grandfather
and uncle would act in that manner. I..."
"It''s fine. It''s no big deal." Fade shook his head. He then looked at Jenski and asked with concern,
"Are you alright?"
"I''m fine." Jenski shook his head, but he couldn''t help saying, "I really don''t understand why
Grandpa won''t let me investigate my father''s death. Back then, he doted on my father the most. The
person he doted most on, the most outstanding son of the Geng family, had passed away. Why
won''t he investigate and even prevent me from continuing my investigation as well?"
Fade naturally couldn''t give an answer but uncertainties started to grow in his heart.
It was true that Thamar''s reaction towards Eastin''s death was fishy. It wasn''t the reaction a father
should have to the death of his son.
However, even Jenski didn''t know the reason behind all that, not to mention Fade, who was an
outsider.
There wasn''t any other way to go about this, so he could only console Jenski and leave the Geng
family residence.
At the same time, after returning to the rear part of the Geng family residence, Thamar asked Derex
and Hiro to leave before closing the door. He opened a locked drawer, pulled out a photo album
from it, and looked at the pictures in silence.
On the photo album was a handsome man with a warm smile. He had identical features to Jenski,
and he was his father, Eastin.
"Eastin, don''t me me for being ruthless. It''s just that..." Thamar mumbled to himself.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded leisurely by Thamar''s ear, "You still can''t let go of what
happened to your son?"
Hearing this, he was surprised. He quickly closed the photo album shut before turning around, then
he instantly saw a dark shadow wearing a skull mask.
On the creepy mask were pale and terrifying patterns of a skull, with a green sprout in the middle of
its forehead. If Fade was at the scene, he would have recognized on sight that the patterns were
the symbol of Skull Mob.
