Looking at Fade, Ingram smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are being modest. We've seen your performance. I'm afraid that even I won't be a match to you."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look behind him. The group of people who had been following behind him immediately nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, Mr. Chen defeated Faxon so easily. His strength is truly surprising."

"Mr. Chen, your strength must have reached the late stage of the Earth Level at the very least. It shouldn't be too long before you reach the peak stage of the Earth Level." "It's a pity to not have known an expert like Mr. Chen earlier!"

Fade didn't feel proud at all at their flattery. On the contrary, he frowned and his expression became serious.

After all, he had no connection with this group of people. There must be a reason why they were flattering him.

After thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of a reason. He stopped guessing and asked directly, "Mr. Zhao, you are flattering me so much. I can't help but wonder what your true motive is."

Ingram was startled at how straightforward Fade was. However, he immediately smiled and said, "There are really some things that I want to talk to you about."

"Please go ahead then, Mr. Zhao!" Fade said.

Ingram narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him for a while. Then, he said, "You've won the championship in this Martial Arts Convention. Naturally, you would also earn the right of access to the Dragon Mausoleum, right?"

Fade narrowed his eyes at the mention of the Dragon Mausoleum. He paused for a moment and said, "That's true. What can I do for you then, Mr. Zhao?"

"I just want to talk to you about a business opportunity," Ingram said with a smile.

"Business? What business?" He asked.

Ingram replied, "I'm sure you are also aware of the legend surrounding the Dragon Mausoleum. It is said that there are secret guides for martial artists to improve greatly within a short period of time. Not to mention, there are also all sorts of weapons and medicines for our cultivation purposes."

"The business opportunity is simple. I will pay you a 100 million yuan as a deposit to reserve the treasures that you would be getting in the Dragon Mausoleum."

"Deposit and reserve?" Fade felt that something was wrong.

Ingram continued, "Mr. Chen, if you don't understand, I'll tell you in detail. Our Zhao family is willing to buy anything you find in the Dragon Mausoleum. Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about the price. We, the Zhao family will definitely pay you handsomely as long as you manage to bring those items out."

He did not wait for Fade's reply. He waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Give the deposit to Mr. Chen!"

Immediately, one of his men took a special VIP black card and handed it to Fade, "Mr. Chen, here is a deposit of 100 million yuan. Please accept it."

Fade looked at the bank card but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he frowned at Ingram and said, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

A few of his subordinates started explaining after hearing his words.

"What Young Master Zhao meant is he will buy the items you bring out of the Dragon Mausoleum.

With money." "It's a business deal. If you bring the items, he will pay you with money. Do you understand it now?"

Fade narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I don't want to sell them?"

Upon hearing this, Ingram's eyes darkened. Instead of answering his question, he said in a louder tone, "Our Zhao family will offer you a high price. There's no way you won't want to sell anything." "Is that so?" Fade felt that something was wrong and he continued, "What if I really don't want to sell it?"

Hearing this, Ingram's eyes darkened as he glared at him. He was silent for a moment.

The subordinates standing behind him were looking tough too.

"Mr. Chen, the deal will only benefit you. Thus, you'd better agree with it."

"That's right. Other people who are qualified to enter the Dragon Mausoleum have already agreed to accept the deal with Young Master Zhao. You should reconsider it."

"I'm sure Young Master Zhao won't disappoint you."

Ingram joined in and said, "If you are not satisfied with the price, I can raise the deposit to 200 million yuan."

Upon hearing this, Fade completely understood his intention. In his eyes, Fade was nothing but someone who could be bought by money and could deliver him the valuable items from the Dragon Mausoleum. Fade would never agree to this. He sneered at Ingram, and said, "Thanks for your interest! However, I don't lack money, thus it seems like a waste of time for you to approach me."

After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Ingram's face fell and he roared in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, this is a condition made by me, Ingram, and you are offered to make a deal with our Zhao family. Are you sure you want to refuse?" Fade sneered and said, "The Zhao family? So what? Can you force me into a deal just because you are from the Zhao family?"

Ingram's eyes narrowed as he looked at him and said coldly, "Fade, I know you are a capable man. You have several companies under your name and you have plenty of funds in your hands. However, do you think your assets are even worth mentioning in front of our Zhao family?"

"I'll give you one last chance to agree with my proposal. Accept the deposit, and I will ignore everything you've just said," Ingram said to him in a condescending tone.

Fade shook his head and said with a smile, "If you turn around and leave now, I can pretend that I didn't hear what you've just said too."

"You..." Ingram's eyes darkened as he glared at him coldly.

Behind Ingram, his subordinates were all acting tough.

"Hey, do you even know your place? You are talking to Young Master Zhao here."

"If you offend the Zhao family, you are looking for death. You can never step foot in the martial arts world in this country ever again."

"Kid, don't act on impulse. It'll be too late to regret it in future."

Fade ignored their words and turned around to leave.

Ingram snorted and said coldly, "I can still offer you the amount I mentioned, but if you take another step out from here, I will demand more than just the items from the Dragon Mausoleum!"

Fade was not afraid of his threats at all. He looked at him and said coldly, "Really? Why don't you give it a try when the time comes?"

After that, he turned around and left.

"You..." Ingram's eyes were dark and his expression was cold.

The subordinates behind him were about to rush towards Fade.

"Stay where you are, you bold b*stard."

"Are you thinking of leaving after offending Young Master Zhao? You'd better stay here!"

"B*stard, take this!"
