Meanwhile, Keith and Hollad were already having a conversation. Perhaps Keith wanted to be more presentable in front of Clara, he was very proactive, and their conversation was very intense. However, Hollad, who was opposite Keith, seemed calm. He even took the initiative to back down so as to not have any direct conflict with him.

Instead, he pointed at Clara and said indifferently, "Clara Moo, I'm certain you and your father have something to do with the death of Zelson and Horgan. The Chai family will not let this go so easily." Obviously, Hollad did not know that Fade was the one who murdered Zelson and Horgan. The only thing he knew was that the Moo family had something to do with their deaths, and they were blaming it on Clara.

A hint of anger flashed across Clara's face and she replied, "Hollad, I don't care about your Chai family, but our Moo family has nothing to do with this, and we are ready to face whatever you all throw our way." "Ready to face it? However bold you are, I don't think you can afford to offend the Chai family! Hmph!" After that, Hollad gave a heavy snort and turned away with his subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Clara pulled a long face and she seemed worried.

The Chai family had been developing well in recent years, and they were especially flourishing in the political and business world. They had some great connections and they had surpassed the Moo family. The Chai family had successfully become the most powerful family in Long City.

If they really tried to go against each other, the Moo family would most likely lose the battle.

But now, a misfortune had happened in the Chai family. The head and the young master of the Chai family were now dead. Under such a circumstance, the Moo family had a higher chance of winning if both families were to come into confrontation.

However, it was only a possibility. No one could say for certain if they could accomplish victory.

Perhaps due to this reason, Taufeeq invited his old friend, Salman, over to help him boost his superiority.

Keith obviously also had this thought in mind. Seeing the situation, he quickly came over and comforted Clara, "Clara, don't worry. My father and I are here. This time we will definitely be able to help the Moo family defeat the Chai Family. You can rest assured."

Clara was not in a good mood, but after all, Keith was speaking for her. Therefore, she smiled politely and nodded gratefully, "Well, then I'm grateful to Mr. Zheng and Young Master Zheng."

"Clara, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Keith." Keith pressed on, "By the way, Clara, what do you think about the matter I mentioned to you before?"

When it came to this, Clara's face immediately sank, and her expression was somewhat unnatural. She replied, "This, this, I still need to think about it. And my father, he..."

Upon hearing this, Keith looked anxious and he said with pursued excitement, "Clara, why are you still hesitating? Is there anything that you don't like about me? Tell me, I'll correct it right away." "Keith, I, I am not..." Clara was somewhat hesitant.

Keith became more and more excited. He took the initiative to reach out to grab Clara's hand. "Clara, I really like you. I have always regarded you as my goddess. I want to be with you even in my dreams." "Besides, the Zheng and the Moo families have

such a great relationship. It's good for the two of us to be together," Keith said excitedly.

Clara's expression became more and more evasive. She stepped back to avoid Keith's outstretched hand and stammered, "Keith, I, I'm still too young. I haven't even started thinking about these things..." "Clara, you still don't know me well. We have to spend more time together. Once you get to know me, you will definitely fall in love with me." Keith took the initiative to approach her again and he was about to reach out his hand.

Clara had already retreated to the railing, and there was nowhere else for her to recoil. She was flustered, and she was about to be held into Keith's arms.

Meanwhile, Fade stepped forward, stood in front of Clara to block Keith, and uttered indifferently, "Young Master Zheng, that's not how a gentleman treats a girl."

Seeing this, Keith couldn't help frowning. He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Clara is my fiancee. I have a close relationship with her. What relationship do you have with her?"

Fade's face darkened at those words.

Clara glanced at Fade and hurriedly explained, "No, that's not it. I'm not engaged to him. I'm not his fiancee." "Clara, my father and yours have already talked about the engagement. It will happen sooner or later. There is nothing to be embarrassed about," Keith uttered and stepped over again, trying to pull Fade out of the way and get closer to Clara.

However, Fade moved to the side and stopped Keith in his tracks. He growled angrily, "Young Master Zheng, Clara has said that she is not your fiancee, at least not for now. You better not act recklessly." After being blocked over and over again, Keith was really getting a little furious. He rolled up his sleeves and glared at Fade, saying in a deep voice, "Since when was it your turn to take care of my business? Get out of my way!"

Fade's face sank, he sneered, "Are you sure you want to fight with me?"

As he spoke, Fade smacked his hand on the railing aside. When it was moved away, he left a clear palm mark on the steel railing.

Seeing this, Keith couldn't help but shiver. He came back to his senses in an instant. With a horrified look on his face, he took a few steps back.

Only then, he recalled that Fade here was a martial artist. He benefited from his martial arts skills in rescuing Taufeeq and Clara, and that was why they were so respectful of him.

If they were to fight head-on, Keith was definitely no match for Fade.

Of course, in Keith's opinion, all these martial artists were just brute force. The real and most powerful martial art masters did not have to fight.

Hence, Keith stepped back and stared at Fade coldly. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll remember you. Once the festival is over, I'll let you know the consequences of offending me." Then, Keith took a deep look at Clara, turned around, and left.

Looking at Keith leaving, Clara's eyes showed a trace of worry. She then lowered her head and apologized to Fade, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and that's why you..."

Fade shook his head and reached out to pat Clara on her head. He whispered gently, "Clara, there's no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. Also, what happened between you and Keith?"

Upon mentioning this, Clara's face sank and she sighed softly, explaining, "The Moo family has been suppressed by the Chai family for the past decade, and it is gradually getting harder for us to continue our business in Long City. This time, the

Chai family has suffered a great loss and since it is also the Lantern Festival, my father wants to take advantage of this opportunity to surpass the Chai family and regain the position of the number one family in the province."

"It's just that in order for us to have a stable position as the most powerful family in Long City, we would need support from all aspects. Our Moo family is a martial arts family, and we are confident that we can beat the Chai family in martial arts, but in terms of politics and commerce, I'm afraid that we might still have a long way to go before we can surpass them."
