Eden turned to leave but he suddenly thought of something so he went back to Fade and asked, "Mr. Chen, Miss Sasha is in the hotel and dealing with the financial affairs. Would you like me to ask her to come over?"

"Sasha is here too?" Fade was a little surprised, but then he waved his hand, "It's fine. No need to trouble her. You go ahead with your meeting."

"Sure!" Eden bowed respectfully before returning to his table a few steps away.

All through Eden's exchange with Fade, Sonia and the others were looking over in amazement, curiosity, and suspicions.

"Mr. Li, do you know him?" asked Sonia.

Eden's face fell and he said, "Of course I do! That's Mr. Chen!"

"Mr. Chen?"

Sonia and the others couldn't help but wonder what Fade's true identity was because even though Eden was senior to Fade, he had addressed Fade so respectfully.

Tommy and Hanson were deferential to Fade earlier. They didn't even make a scene when he broke their arms.

Then, Eden appeared to be complacent in front of Fade too.

The group was very inquisitive and they gingerly asked, "Mr. Li, is Mr. Chen some kind of big shot? Why are you..."

"Of course he is..." Eden caught himself midsentence, recalling Fade's low-profile behavior from earlier. He swallowed what he was planning to say, and changed the subject instead. In a deep voice he said, "Stop asking about Mr. Chen anymore. Let's get straight to the point, shall we?"

"Uh, of course! Let us begin from our proposals then." Sonia and the others immediately abided.

Then, the group began to discuss their possible deal whole-heartedly. They didn't even bother to eat the food they had ordered.

After the conversation with Fade, Eden dared not to view Momo as any other identity than Fade's cousin. He didn't even dare to look at her anymore.

After a long and thoughtful discussion, they had finally sealed some business deals. Amongst them, Momo, who performed the worst at the negotiation, signed the most rewarding contract with the Li family. Sonia and the others were understandably puzzled and envious of her

success.

Meanwhile, Fade eavesdropped on their conversation in silence while enjoying his meal.

Truth be told, Fade could have easily made an arrangement for Momo if she really wanted to make a deal with the Li family. After all, he was now the principal shareholder of the family.

However, what Momo and the others had discussed with Eden were only some small trades. Momo didn't really want to make a deal. She was there to train herself.

Therefore, Fade didn't intervene and he let them be.

Meanwhile, although Sonia and the others tried to keep Eden for some more time, he had no intention of staying any longer. He wanted to leave as soon as possible as they had already come to agreement. Sonia and the others got up and prepared to see Eden out of the hotel.

They were already at the main door of the hotel when, all of a sudden, a siren pierced through their ears. The fireproof doors dropped down at once, locking everyone in the hotel.

It terrified those who were enjoying their food a moment ago.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"The doors are closed. Is there a fire?"

"Waiter! Are there any other exits? We have to leave."

"Let us out!"

"Argh! Stop pushing! My shoes!"

The sudden sirens caused a commotion in the restaurant.

Sonia and the others had felt the intense fear too. They were carried by the crowd and were almost pushed into the corner.

Seeing the state they were in, Fade raced over to help Momo out from the agitated crowd. Abell seized the opportunity and used the passage opened by Fade to escape bringing Sonia and the others with him

too.

They reassembled at a corner with fewer people and they were shaken up by the unexpected event. "What's going on? What happened?"

At this point, a panting waiter came down from the stairwell and said, "Miss Sasha was held hostage by some guys! We are evacuating everyone!"

The group was appalled by the news, especially Fade.

Fade remembered what Eden had told him earlierand his eyes turned dark. He immediately turned to Eden and asked, "Where is Sasha?"

Eden replied instantly, "In her office at the top of the hotel. The 18th floor!"

Upon hearing the information, Fade looked at Momo and reminded her, "Momo, stay put with everyone else. Don't run around and keep yourself safe." Following that, Fade rushed to the stairwell and ran to the top floor.

Eden followed the waiter from earlier to help organize the staff to keep the order in the hall.

Momo and the others were safe at the moment since they were hiding in the corner.

Yet, Sonia's eyes lit up as she thought of something. She then stepped out of the corner. Seeing her action, Harper yelled at her, "Sonia, what are you doing? Come back here!" Sonia exclaimed, "Did you hear that? Miss Sasha was held hostage by some people." "Yes, we know! That's why we have to stay here and keep ourselves safe!" Harper said.

Momo also snapped at Sonia, "Fade also asked us not to run around."

Sonia didn't listen to them, and she seemed rather excited, "Think about it! Miss Sasha is in danger. If we can save her, wouldn't it be..."

At this stage, Harper and the others knew what Sonia was planning to do.

However, Harper was still worried, "But it's too dangerous. If the enemy is very powerful, not only will we not be able to help, but it'll put us in danger too."

Momo also said hastily, "Don't mess around, Fade..."

Before Momo could finish, Sonia interrupted, looking at Abell directly, "Abell, Fade dared to go to Miss Sasha all by himself, but you've defeated him. If we go together, we will do better than him." Originally, Abell didn't want to get involved with these matters. However, after listening to Sonia, he started to have a second thought, "I..."

"Or do you think you are no match to Fade?" Sonia tried to provoke him again.

Abell took the bait and was furious that Sonia even suggested that. He snorted, "Are you kidding me? He fled before our match just a few days ago. What made you think that I won't be better than him?" "Of course I'm coming. After all, I'm a martial artist at the pinnacle of the Yellow Level. I'm afraid of nothing!" Abell stood up.

Then, Sonia and Abell left the rest of the group for Sasha.

Harper, who was hesitant, bit the bullet and followed them. Seeing that her interception was to no avail, Momo had no choice but to go after them. After all, Harper was her cousin.

At the same time, Fade had arrived at the top floor of the hotel.

He snuck through the corridor to the office door and he saw that several security guards and staff members were already there. They were standing by the office door and they were shouting to communicate with the people inside.

"Tell us what you want but please let go of Miss Sasha!" "Don't hurt Miss Sasha."
