Nash was terrified when he saw Lyla so angry and muttered, "The other party seemed to be pretty influential in Jade City. Since Harper offended them, he's..."

Before he could finish, Lyla said in a displeasing tone, "I don't care who the hell they think they are. Harper is my son and a member of the Soo family. They will pay for what they did to Harper!"

"I have something else to tend to, so I'll leave Harper to you. Send someone to Jade City and make sure to get Harper back before the annual banquet," Lyla commanded.

She then headed straight to the bedroom without waiting for a reply.

Nash sighed and began making arrangements to send someone to Jade City. He needed to find a solution for his son.

At the same time, something similar happened in the homes of Sonia Yao and Abell Liu. Both of them were enraged and wanted to travel to Jade City personally to settle the score and bring their children home.

At that moment, Fade was heading to the villa prepared by South Bay City's very own real estate tycoon, Andrew Xu.

Andrew welcomed Fade into his villa with great enthusiasm. He arranged for his servants to serve Fade humbly. Fade was taken aback by such hospitality.

During dinner, Andrew brought his daughter along for the meal. He even personally poured wine for Fade continuously. In short, he was being very respectful towards Fade.

Fade was extremely surprised at what was going on.

After all, he didn't know Andrew at all. Their only interaction was back when he sold that Einstein Zheng painting to him, and that was it.

Therefore, Fade was also a bit skeptical as to why Andrew was being so nice to him. He said, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your amazing hospitality, but I have a question if you don't mind."

"Mr. Chen, do tell me. I will do everything in my power to ensure your demands are met," Andrew was really humbling himself before Fade.

Fade continued, "Mr. Xu, I don't understand. We just met, yet you are treating me so kindly..."

Andrew heard that. He put down his cutleries and looked at Fade, telling him, "Mr. Chen, you may not know me, but I have known you for a while. Back at Jade City, I personally witnessed your powerful demeanor on Sunset Mountain."

"Moreover, my real estate company has a lot of business with the Li family of Jade City. I hope that we can have a more successful partnership in the future."

"Hence, it would make sense for me to welcome you with great hospitality when you visit South Bay City."

Fade finally understood what was going on. Andrew knew who he was. He knew that Fade was the infamous Master Chen of Jade City and also the mastermind of the Li family empire. That's why he was being so nice.

"I see!" Fade nodded and said, "I thank you for your kind words. I will definitely return your gracious favors when I have the chance!"

Fade treated Andrew like how a businessman would. It was also sort of a promise that they would be able to mutually benefit from in the future. Andrew heard Fade's words and his eyes lit up. He excitedly lifted his glass and said, "Thank you so much Master Chen, let me give you a toast!"

After dinner, Fade went back to his room to get some rest.

Surprisingly, Andrew even asked his daughter,

Lauren Xu to serve Fade in his room. She poured Fade some drinks and was extremely polite.

Fade looked at Lauren and said, "Miss Xu, you don't have to do that. I can do this myself, so you can go take a break."

Lauren heard that and her eyes suddenly flared up in resentment. She bit her lips and said softly, "Mr. Chen, did I do anything wrong for you to chase me away? I can change, I..."

As she said that, Lauren's button came undone, revealing her bare chest. Her snow-white fair skin almost blinded Fade.

"Ahem..." Fade immediately tried to regain his composure and said to Lauren, "Miss Xu, you got it all wrong. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I want some time to myself, and I would like to rest for the night."

"Oh, if that's the case, please go ahead. I'll leave now. If you need anything else, please call for me," Lauren smiled and left.

The next morning, Fade woke up. Lauren had already brought an assortment of toiletries to his room.

She was dressed in a maid uniform and looked extremely delicate.

However, Fade had already gotten used to Quin and Momo who were beauties in their own right.

He didn't feel anything when he saw Lauren.

Lauren served him as soon as he got up and helped him to wash up. She even served him breakfast.

Afterwards, Fade left and Lauren followed suit.

Fade wanted to understand the situation in South Bay City and make preparations for the annual banquet two days later. Hence, he felt fortunate that Lauren was there as his guide.

Lauren knew that Fade was on his way to get some presents, so she brought him to one of the busiest streets in South Bay City. They spent the whole morning together and picking out some gifts. When it was time for lunch, both of them stopped at a high-end restaurant to grab some food.

They sat down and ordered a meal. Suddenly, a crowd of girls gathered around them. They were giggling all the way.

"Lauren, are you having your lunch here?"

"Lauren, who is this? Your new boyfriend?"

"Hello handsome, you're not from around here, are you?"

"Lauren, how did you guys meet? Tell us!"

Lauren glared at her friends and stopped them.

She then apologized to Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry but they are my good friends. I'm really sorry for the way they are acting..."

Faded waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I understand. Why don't they join us for lunch?"

"Are you really fine with that? Mr. Chen, but you..." Lauren mumbled.

Fade answered, "I'm cool with that. Don't worry, just relax."

"Since you are okay with it, thank you so much, Mr. Chen," Lauren said and asked her friends to sit down with them.

However, Lauren couldn't relax in front of Fade. Her friends seemed to be influenced by her as they sat down solemnly as well.

As a result, the entire atmosphere at the table became silent and awkward.
