"I can't believe the two of you are still fighting at a time like this! Aren't we already aware of Fade's demands? If he wants the Fire Blame Plant before sunrise, go get it for him! Sasha's life is at stake!" Old Master shouted angrily.

"I'm on the plane now and it'll take me at least four hours to fly back to Jade City. There'll only be two to three hours left before sunrise by the time I get back. During my absence, the rest of you will have to find a way to save Sasha's life."

After he spoke, the rest of them did not dare utter another word of complaint anymore. As such, they started to put forward their own opinions on the matter.

"I think it's better if we call the police. Murder and abduction are huge crimes! Furthermore, he's taken someone from the Li family hostage! The police will definitely do their best to help us!" Martin's cousin suggested. It was a more conservative option but it made the most sense.

Martin shook his head when he heard it, "I've already reported the matter to the police. They've only agreed to investigate it but there doesn't seem to be any major action being taken."

"Moreover, I know that Fade and Director Xu are well-acquainted with each other. They might not be much help," Martin said.

"Let's just get someone to attack him then! With our family's abilities, we'll be able to find someone to beat up that doctor, right?" One of Sasha's aunts muttered grumpily.

As soon as she finished speaking, Martin shook his head in refusal. He hastily took out his phone and showed everyone clips of Fade taking Sasha away and the bloody scene in the living hall. Upon seeing the bloody mess, some of them paled on the spot as they felt a trickle of fear in their spine.

"That's... How is that..." Someone trailed off and retched out loud.

Martin then proceeded to speak with a pale face, "According to our investigation, Fade isn't just a doctor. He's also a martial arts master. The people we hired were all killed by him." "A martial arts master?!" Everyone in the Li family was taken aback by that.

Everyone remained silent after that. Hanson on the other hand, frowned and took a step forward, and said, "So what? With our family's power and influence, we can hire other martial arts experts as well!" "As long as we're willing to spend some money, well definitely be able to hire better martial arts masters to defeat him! We have to find a way out of this! Since when have we ever backed down from something like this? We have to persevere!" Hanson said with determination.

Hanson's encouragement attracted many of them to nod along in agreement.

Martin couldn't help but frown as he spoke, "Hiring more martial arts experts won't be a problem for us of course. But the main issue we have now is with time. We only have six or seven hours before the deadline... How can we get a top-notch martial artist in such a short time?"

"If we can't hire someone to get here in time, Sasha's life will be over! Moreover, Fade even threatened our lives as well! It won't be just Sasha! He swore to wreck our whole family!" Martin added anxiously. "He wants to destroy the Li family? How bold of him! How could he possibly do that alone?!" Hanson scoffed in disdain.

The others started to speak out as well.

"What an arrogant punk!"

"What a joke! Is he underestimating us?"

"Martin, don't worry about it too much. I think Fade was just trying to frighten us. If he even touches a single hair on Sasha's body, I'll tear him to pieces!"

Martin's face fell a little at that. Hanson decided to speak up once more, "Martin, I know you're worried about Sasha's safety. But you can't lose your mind and get intimidated by Fade just like that! I'm certain he was just faking it... We don't have to worry about it too much.

Right after Hanson finished speaking, the living room's doors were suddenly slammed open. A bandaged figure with a bruised nose and swollen face walked in.

All members of the Li family were taken aback by it. However, Martin recognized the person at once. It was the leader of the group of warriors whom he had hired before.

His name was Benedict Wu, a well-known martial artist from South Bay City who was a Black Level martial arts master.

"Master Wu, why are you here?" Martin inquired, looking him over.

Benedict answered, tone panicked, "Mr. Li, that punk Fade... If he has any demands, please comply with them as soon as you can. He's not someone we can afford to offend!" Martin startled a little as he heard.

Hanson merely frowned, snorted coldly, and said in a displeased tone, "Master Wu, what the hell are you on about? Are you implying that we should give ourselves up to the enemy?! We didn't hire you for nothing, did we?"

Benedict scrambled to explain, "Mr. Hanson, you misunderstood me. I really am thinking for the good of the Li family! He really isn't someone you can provoke."

"Well, why not? He's just a Chinese medicine doctor who knows a few martial arts! Do you really think we can't beat him?!" Hanson snarled in disdain.

The rest of the Li family members were also puzzled. Even Fenrir who was displayed on the screen frowned at them, remaining silent all the while.

"But Fade's not an ordinary warrior, he's a real master, a martial arts expert!" Benedict hastily replied.

"A master? This kid must be in his early twenties! How the hell can he possibly be a master?" Someone scoffed out.

Benedict shook his head and explained, "No, I'm telling the truth! He really is a martial arts master. He was in Bay City about a year ago. In half a years' time, he successfully swept Dragonville and defeated Master Sun of the Sun family! He's the big boss in Dragonville City.

"What? Is the master of that town so worthless?" Hanson sneered. He glanced at Master Wu, mockery filling his eyes.

Benedict understood Hanson's implication but he did not care much about it. Instead, he continued to add on, "Mr. Hanson, Master Chen is much more powerful than me..."

"After Fade swept Dragonville, he subsequently participated in the Martial Arts Convention and successfully defeated all the martial arts masters from five other districts and won the championship. He is also known as the martial arts master of five districts..."

Hearing this, many of the Li family members frowned. Martin's eyebrows quirked up at that, looking more worried than before.

Benedict merely continued with his narrative, "After that, Fade even went over to Westamor District and defeated Weldon. He even managed to subdue the boss of the Yue family..."

At the mention of the Yue family, someone in the conference room exclaimed, "Weldon Yue?!"

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at that person. The person who had yelled out was an average member of the Li family who was usually responsible for the expansion of the family's business. "What are you yelling about? What's so surprising about that?" Hanson scoffed out in anger.
