"Are you Fade Chen?" Old Zhan approached first when he saw Fade. Fade nodded and said, "Yes, Iam Fade!" There was no expression on his face and his tone was flat. He was gauging Harald Zhan’sattitude toward himself. He didn’t know the reason Harald was here. Was it to avenge his son, LazzaroZhan’s death or for some other reasons? Old Zhan seemed to have read Fade’s mind. He glanced atFade and said, "Mr. Chen, are you trying to gauge my attitude toward you?" Since he didn’t beataround the bush, Fade didn’t want to hide his intentions either. He nodded and said, "Indeed! Duringthe Martial Arts Contest, Lazzaro and Horatio Zhan colluded with a foreign mercenary group in order toforce the warriors of South Hanover City to join their organization. Horatio mentioned that Old Zhan hadno idea about this matter. Therefore, I would like to know your opinion on this matter." Old Zhan smiledslightly and declared, "I really didn’t know about this matter, Mr. Chen. Do you believe me?" Staring atOld Zhan, Fade paused slightly before continuing. "It doesn’t matter whether I believe you or not. Ikilled Lazarro because he threatened my friends and intimidated the warriors." "There’s no use cryingover spilled milk. If you have a sense of what is right and wrong, I will be very respectful to you.However, if you want to avenge your son, I don’t mind fighting either." Fade’s words were clear, withoutany ambiguity. He stared at Old Zhan once he finished speaking, as if he was waiting for his reply. OldZhan did not say a word when he heard this. He rubbed his hands on the armrest of the chair. His eyesrotated gently, as if he was considering what kind of attitude he should have toward Fade. Around fiveor six minutes later, Old Zhan finally raised his head. He looked at Fade with a smile and turned to themiddle-aged man beside him. He said, "Many heroes emerge from obscurity when they are in theiryouth. Mr. Chen is so young but he already has such fame. He is really no ordinary man." Seeing this,Fade narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Old Zhan without saying a word. Old Zhan thencontinued, "It’s true that Lazzaro is my son, but after all, we haven’t seen each other for decades. Also,as soon as he came back, he did such a heinous thing in the name of the Zhan family. I amheartbroken by his actions." "As the ruler of the Zhan family and also as a former soldier, I can’t tolerateany form of collusion with foreigners that threaten the domestic security of our country. No matter whonovelbin
he is, I will punish him severely for such a matter," Old Zhan shouted sternly. Looking at Old Zhan’sexpression and tone, he seemed sincere. Nonetheless, facing such a cunning fox, Fade would not becareless and believe his words so easily. Although they had not seen each other for many years anddid not have a close relationship, Lazzaro was still his son. Fade had slaughtered his son. Aftershouting for a while, Old Zhan continued, "I heard about Lazzaro and knew that he had made such ahuge mistake. The ramifications of his mistake has not been felt yet. I have come today to make up forthis mistake." "Oh!" Seeing Old Zhan’s attitude, Fade believed that he did not hold a grudge againsthim for killing Lazzaro. "May 1 know how you are going to make up for this mistake?" Fade asked. OldZhan replied, "I heard that the two masters of the foreign mercenary group haven’t been killed yet.They are on their way here to take revenge on Mr. Chen." "That is true!" Fade nodded. Old Zhan said,"This is what I will do. This was my son’s doing, so I will help fight against the two masters." "Then, Ishall thank you in advance," Fade paid obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest."Mr. Chen, you’re being polite!" Old Zhan also paid obeisance in return. He then pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "This is Ron Wang. I have purposely invited Mr. Wang over to assist us in thismatter." "I’ve heard of Mr. Chen’s reputation as the top master in Long City. It’s my pleasure to meetyou today!" Ron said politely. Fade nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang!" "According to updates,they will most likely arrive by tonight or tomorrow.
Thank you Mr. Wang and Old Zhan in advance." Fade said. Old Zhan replied, "Mr. Chen, you’re beingtoo polite. By the way, there are still some small issues that I would like to discuss with you." "What arethese issues?" Fade asked. He raised his eyebrows, sensing that something was wrong. Old Zhanglanced at Ron and said, "Mr. Chen, you are probably not aware of Mr. Wang’s background. He is notan ordinary warrior, but from the military. Once Mr. Wang is involved in this affairs regarding the foreignmercenaries, he will be able to take action and resolved these matters easily." "That’s great. Thankyou, Mr. Wang," Fade answered. Old Zhan agreed and continued, "It’s supposed to be our job to get ridof these villains. However, since these matters are not formally approved by the government, Mr. Wangmay need to clarify his actions to his superiors." "Oh, what sort of clarification is needed?" Fade asked.
Old Zhan said, "Well! Since we will be using their resources, we will need to tell them how our actionshave benefited them." "Benefits?" Fade could guess what this was about it seemed like Old Zhan wasfinally getting his point across. "May know what kind of benefits Mr. Wang is seeking?"Fade asked. Ronresponded, "The military does not lack in many things. We just want to have information on Mr. Chen’straining methods. Also, we would like to know what kind of martial arts techniques Mr. Chen practices,until you can become the top master of Long City at such a young age." "Training methods and martialarts techniques!" The faces of Jimmy Wei and Casper Zhu fell before Fade could even speak Theywere both warriors, so they knew how important these two things were to a martial- artist, especiallythese core skills. When encountering people from different sects, many warriors would hold back thisinformation. They would not completely disclose everything even if they were training their disciples.Now, Mr. Wang’s so-called benefits that he wanted was actually Fade’s training methods and martialarts techniques. He was clearly demanding an exorbitant price from him! Fade’s face fell and he saidcoldly, "Not everyone can employ my training methods and utilize my martial- arts techniques!" Ronsmiled smugly and said, "Not everyone can achieve such great things like Mr. Chen. Hence, I’m sureyou won’t mind me asking you for your advice and for some instructions on these matters." "What if Idon’t want to do so?" Fade said coldly. The expression on Ron’s face darkened suddenly. He gazed atFade with a gloomy expression. At this time, Old Zhan stared at Fade with a serious look and spoke ina low voice, "Fade, although I am retired, I am also an old soldier. Mr. Wang is a member of the army.He wants to learn from you not for selfish gains, but to improve the whole army. This could be a greatcontribution to the army and our nation!".
