Looking at how excited Clara was, and how she didn't stutter when she addressed him as 'Brother Fade", Keith couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He grew even more hostile towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." He hid the anger in his gaze. Keith showed a smile, and took the initiative to extend his right hand to Fade to greet him.

Although Keith had his expression under control, but in the eyes of such a skillful martial artist, Fade could see all the micro-expressions on his face.

Fade could clearly see the hostility in his gaze.

Therefore, he was not very polite to him, and he just greeted him blandly.

Such an attitude made Keith even more dissatisfied with him. He frowned slightly and then asked, "How did you two get to know each other?"

Before Fade could answer, Clara answered excitedly beside him, "Keith, we met Brother Chen while we were at the Dragon Mausoleum. Back then we came across a robber, and Brother Chen came to our rescue. We..."

Upon hearing this, Keith roughly understood what

was going on.

The Moo family had a martial arts background. Thus, taking part in the excavation of the Dragon Mausoleum was not something unusual.

However, Keith was not interested in these things. The Zheng family was a family of business, and they already had plenty of businesses in the country. Now, they were looking to expand to other countries. Besides, his father, Salman Zheng, was also a member of the officialdom. He started as an ordinary wealthy entrepreneur, and later, he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Southern District. Concurrently, he was also a committee member of the Department of Commerce.

Over the years, his father had taught him a lot of things. Money was important, but power was even more important. However, if you had money, you would only be someone who owns a little more money. In front of a really powerful big shot, money was nothing at all. Someone powerful could turn all the wealth you had worked so hard for, into nothing.

Therefore, Salman had been working on his power, constantly raising his status. His ultimate goal was to become the best businessman of the era.

He had high hopes for such a goal. Keith was very confident in his own father as well.

After all, back then, the Zheng family was just considered an average, small family. Compared to the Moo family, they were even a little weaker than them. However, after years of hard work, the Zheng family had improved by leaps and bounds and they had overtaken the Moo family in terms of wealth and power.

If that wasn't the case, Taufeeq wouldn't have invited the father and son pair of the Zheng family over to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Of course, they wouldn't come all the way here just for nothing. They had their eyes on the Moo family's martial arts.

Although in Keith's mind, he prioritized money and power over marital arts. However, the Moo family had been practicing martial arts for hundreds of years, thus they had quite a high status and wealth. If the Zheng family could make use of this, then it would greatly benefit them.

In the eyes of the Zheng family, the entire Moo family was nothing more than just a tool for them to take advantage of.

As for martial artists like Fade, in Keith's opinion, they were nothing more than just pure brute force. They weren't worth a lot. He could hire any of these martial artists at any time.

Thinking of this, he regarded Fade with even more disdain. Without waiting for Clara to introduce him further, he asked, "So Mr. Chen is also a martial artist! Where are you from? Where have you learnt your martial arts from? From your family, or from a master?"

Fade then answered, "No, I just practice by myself."

Upon hearing this, Keith's impression of him dropped even further. He would have some value if he had learned his martial arts from some master, or from his family.

Now, it seemed like he just learned his martial arts by himself, and coincidentally, he had helped Clara once. Thus, the Moo family was grateful to him.

Keith did not pay much attention to someone like him, nor was he interested in making friends with him.

Therefore, he did not continue the conversation with Fade. Keith turned away and said to Clara, "Clara, my father and the others should be here now. Let's go back."

"Ah, this..." She was just excitedly introducing Fade's various heroic deeds and powerful martial arts, but had been interrupted by Keith. Now that she was about to leave, she suddenly seemed a little upset. However, she knew how important the Zheng family was to her father. Therefore, she managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded. "Okay, Keith, let's go back."

She then turned around and waved goodbye to Fade. "Goodbye, Brother Chen. I'll be waiting for you at the Lantern Festival!"

Fade nodded and waved his hand with a smile. "Goodbye, I will be there."

After watching both Clara and Keith leave, Fade turned around and went back to his room.

When he went back, Moore and Joey had finished their conversation, and asked Fade to enter.

He looked at the tear marks at the corners of their eyes, as well as the smiles on their lips. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief as he smiled. It seemed that the father and daughter pair had a delightful conversation, and their hearts had been reconciled.

After talking for some time, Fade learned that they had been honest, and told each other all of their experiences.

After getting adopted by Aldred, Joey had spent most of her time on Tianwu Mountain, training. One year ago, she had secretly run down the mountain, and her life was relatively simple.

Moore's experience was obviously much more bitter. After his family was hunted down, he had wanted to use himself as bait, and allow both his wife and daughter to escape. However, his wife and daughter had been hunted down by the Chiang family. In the end, there wasn't even a trace of their whereabouts, and they might even be dead.

Moore, who was in extreme grief and indignation, had just barely escaped the Chiang family's pursuit. In the following twenty years, he had been in hiding, and lived like a coward. He thought of ways to enhance his own strength, to search for traces of his wife and daughter, and to get his revenge on the Chiang family.

These things had basically occupied his past twenty years, and he had been living a bitter and tiring life.

Moore had never been happy in the past twenty years, but at that very moment, he was laughing with a bright smile on his face.

The father and daughter were happy, and Fade was relieved. He then mentioned Clara's invitation to them. "Master Chen, Joey. In a few days, there will be a Lantern Festival at Wavey River in the Zobery District. Someone has invited us to participate. Are you interested in going?"
