"What! A Martial Arts Master!"

"How is this possible?"

"How could this be?"

"Nelson, you must have made a mistake!"

Shock and doubt were the Chai family's first reactions when they heard Nelson's report. They were astonished, in disbelief that someone as young as Fade was a Martial Arts Master.

Even Payton, the steadiest among the rest, was flabbergasted. "Nelson, did you confirm your finding?"

Nelson nodded heavily. "Old Master, I'm completely sure of it. Moreover, it was not difficult to investigate. Some time ago at the incident in the Dragon Mausoleum, Master Chen was one of the participants of the Dragon Mausoleum exploration. Many martial artists in our Zobery District also participated in this event."

"They said that during the exploration, Master Chen took the lead and was proved to be someone truly powerful. Later, when they retrieved the treasure and came out of the Dragon Mausoleum, the hidden family sabotaged and surrounded them, threatening them to hand over the treasures."

"Just then, Master Chen alone brazenly took action and killed Raleigh and Harold, the Heaven Levels of the hidden Chiang family. He scared away the thieves of the hidden family and saved the day for everyone. Many martial artists knew about this. Plus, I've also asked quite a few people, and they were all certain of this truth."

The Chai family gasped lightly, listening to Nelson's update.

"So he- he really is a Heaven Level master, A Martial Arts Master!"

"A Martial Arts Master under the age of thirty. This- this is extraordinary."

"Moreover, he's the one who killed two Heaven Level masters."

"Furthermore, his opponents were no ordinary Heaven Level martial artists, but the Heaven Levels of the hidden Chiang family. This means that his strength is even more powerful than any ordinary Heaven Level's juniors. He might have reached the middle stage of the Heaven Level!"

Everyone in the Chai family knew that it was their cue, including Payton. Without further hesitation, he cupped his hands in Fade's direction and declared, "Master Chen, please forgive me. The Chai family accepts our defeat and will leave the city from now on."

Fade nodded and said in a faint tone, "I'll give you three days. After three days, if I still see any members of the Chai Family here, don't blame me for what I'll do."

"Within three days, you won't see any of the Chai family members in the city," Payton echoed.

With a slight tap of his foot, Fade jumped up and landed on the wooden building.

Then, Fade, Joey and Moore went downstairs together, with the Moo family following in ecstasy. As for the others, they were filled with sudden admiration when they saw Fade. Wherever Fade went, they all automatically made way for him and dared not meet his gaze.

After Fade and his gang left, the Lantern Festival resumed its usual liveliness after being on pause all this while. All kinds of discussions burst open an instant.

"How unexpected! I really didn't think that this year's lantern festival would be this exciting and soul-stirring."

"That's right. Even a Martial Arts Master has shown up. It's really shocking."

"I thought that Windley, a semi- master, was powerful enough. I didn't expect Fade to be a Martial Arts Master."

"The Moo family has struck gold this time. I didn't expect them to have such a powerful backer."

"It's the end of the Chai family's legacy. The Chai family will surely gradually decline once they're gone."

Amidst the commotion, Payton looked pale and extremely decadent, like he had aged ten years in an instant. He turned around and went downstairs with a poker face.

The rest of the Chai family followed him with bitter faces, like a silent team of zombies.

After the Chai family began to leave, Salman hurriedly left with Keith and his broken leg. They couldn't care less about getting treatment, and boarded the next immediate flight from Zobery District to Southzobe City.

With such an unexpected ending, the Lantern Festival was the immediate talk of the town the next day and was the only thing the district could talk about.

The Chai family had also immediately began to withdraw themselves.

Since the Chai family quitted, the Moo family naturally took over a lot of the Chai family's businesses and territories as the second- chair. From that moment on, the Moo family undoubtedly became the first family of all Zobery District.

Taufeeq was immensely grateful to Fade, so he invited him to dinner. All the influential, powerful and wealthy from the district also rushed over, eager to show their goodwill to Fade, hoping to curry favor with this man.

However, Fade refused all the banquets and flatterings. Instead, he let Clara be his tour guide to take him, Joey and Moore to visit the famous attractions in the district, finally having a taste of the city's quaint scenery.

Meanwhile, in a huge, vintage mansion perched on one of the business streets of the bustling Southzobe City. Passerbys could occasionally peer through the windows and see the lush greenery of a garden inside. They could vaguely make out fresh blooming flowers and running water, like a refreshing enchanted forest.

To have such a large and well-decorated house In the center of the bustling city, even if one were not a local, they could tell that the owner of this property was not an ordinary person.

As for the locals who knew about it, they would look up at the huge "Xu Mansion" plaque hanging on the luxurious mansion's entrance and then scurry away with envy.

It was because they all knew that the person who lived here was Southzobe City's own big shot, Pascha Xu. He was the ex-deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce at Zobery District and he had just retired.

Pascha's position as the deputy minister was definitely huge. Even though Pascha was now retired, his son, Felix, was still working in Southzobe City's commerce department. His daughter, Vera, was also an important figure in Southzobe City's Education Bureau.

Besides, Pascha had been in office for so many years with countless students and subordinates under him, scattered all over various departments of Southzobe City. Some locals even claimed that half of Southzobe City was governed by the Xu family. One could see the Xu family's influence in Southzobe City as clear as day. Similarly, due to the Xu family's tremendous influence over Southzobe City, very few cars passed through this wide road in front of their mansion, so it was peaceful. However, this serenity was suddenly broken by rapid slamming car brakes.

A speeding black Mercedes Benz swerved and stopped exactly on the double yellow line in front of the Xu Mansion, screeching to a halt. The car door flung open as a pair of middle-aged man and woman got down.

They were obviously in a hurry. After tossing the keys to the guards at the entrance, they immediately went inside with large, urgent strides.

The pedestrians who witnessed the scene in surprise instantly recognized the two people who had arrived in a hurry. They were none other than Pascha's daughter, Vera, and his son-in-law, Salman.
