"How dare you..." Sanford shouted angrily at Fade as blood poured from his mouth.

However, Fade didn't give him a chance to finish and just struck out with his palm again, hitting him further into the ground. Sanford's whole body was submerged in the soil completely, with only his head above the surface, immobilized.

Such an ending stunned everyone, and their expressions showed utter shock. They couldn't believe what was happening.

The complacent members of the Hsiang and Qin families were also dumbfounded. They couldn't believe what they were watching, some rubbing their eyes.

"I-Is this really happening?"

"Master Tuan lost? Defeated by a single palm strike. How... How is this possible?"

"Who on earth is he!"

Just when everybody was still in a state of shock, horror, and doubt, Fade walked towards the Qin and Hsiang family members with his hands behind his back.

When both families saw Fade approaching, their expressions changed drastically.

"What do you want to do?" Kadmiel could still stand the pressure and stood right in front of the rest, his expression wary.

"What do I want to do?" Fade sneered at both families before speaking, "The Qin and Hsiang families deliberately oppressed my people, and now, you're asking me what I want to do?"

The expressions of both families turned even more unsightly when they heard this.

The corners of Kadmiel's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head, "We did all those things for a reason. Now, we'll let bygones be bygones. Both our parties are now even."

When Dacre heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed, "That's right, we're even. The Qin family won't trouble the Ernest Company again!"

"We're even?" Fade laughed out loud like he heard the funniest thing in the world. Then, his eyes turned cold and he glared at the two families, "Good one. It looks like I have underestimated how shameless you all are."

"Fade, we've made a concession. Don't push it," Kadmiel spat through gritted teeth.

"Pushing it!" Fade hmphed coldly before slamming his fist into Yaakov's abdomen. He directly shattered his dantian abdomen from the inside, sending him screaming through the air.

"How dare you..." Kadmiel shrieked in anger. He was furious and was about to make a move when he saw Fade's cold stare. Instantly, his feet were glued to the ground, and he couldn't move.

"I made a move. What can you do about it!" Fade glared coldly at him, radiating an icy pressure around him.

Kadmiel felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He felt as if his whole body was submerged in ice and he couldn't move. In that moment, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him wasn't an amiable young man, but a powerful master who had just defeated Sanford with a single palm strike.

Immediately, he bowed his head and shut up, not daring to say another word.

However, Fade snorted and declared, "Isn't the Hsiang family's so-called reason for Daemyn's death? Everyone saw how Daemyn deserved to die for his own actions of jeopardizing his entire troop of soldiers and his own life. Even without that, how was I wrong in not saving him?"

"Could it be that just because he's a member of the Hsiang family so bystanders have to risk their lives to save him? If that's the case, there are so many dangers and accidents in East Coast City everyday. Did the Hsiang family do anything to save them?"

In the face of Fade's questions, Kadmiel just bowed his head silently.

"Answer me!" Fade bellowed.

Kadmiel chattered through his teeth, "No, the Hsiang family didn't do anything to save them."

"You didn't? Then why does the Hsiang family have the audacity to ask me to save Daemyn, treating me as an enemy just because I didn't save him!" Fade shouted at him icily.

Kadmiel's body trembled under the enormous pressure, "Th-The Hsiang family's in the wrong."

"Is it enough just to say you're wrong? Fade's tone was chilly and unforgiving.

Kadmiel shook his head and replied immediately, "The Hsiang family is willing to make compensation. Please forgive us, Master Chen!"

On the other side, Dacre didn't wait for Fade to speak and quickly spoke up too, "The Qin family is also willing to make compensation. Please forgive us, Master Chen!"

Fade narrowed his eyes at them, pausing for a moment before speaking, "The Qin and Hsiang family must transfer half of their assets to the Ernest Company."

"Half of our assets, it's..." Macbeth cried out in surprise, obviously unwilling. However, before he could finish speaking, Kadmiel shot him a warning glare and he swallowed back his words. Kadmiel bowed, "Master Chen, you can rest assured. The Hsiang family will prepare all this immediately when we get back, and we will transfer the assets within three days."

On the other side, although Caere's heart was aching, he didn't dare have any objections and could only say, "It's the same for the Qin family."

"Scram!" Fade waved his hand, dismissing the two families.

Immediately, the Hsiang and Qin family members stumbled away from the scene like dogs with their tails between their legs.

On the other side, the Geng family had different expressions when they saw this, and they sighed with relief.

"I never thought that Mr. Chen was a Martial Arts Master!" Thamar sighed.

Derex also spoke, "With half of each of the Qin and Hsiang families' assets, the Ernest Company has become the most powerful party in East Coast City."

"Fortunately, the Geng family didn't offend Mr. Chen, or else..." Jenski sighed too.

When Derex and Hiro heard this, their expressions darkened. After all, the two of them were the ones who had offended Fade.

Thamar noticed his son and grandson acting abnormally and spoke, "No matter what, the Geng family made the right choice. From now on, we will follow Master Chen's orders."

The Hsiang and Qin families finally left the scene, defeated and crestfallen. Next, Fade looked at Sanford and Eckhart. The two of them had wounds all over; one buried in the ground and the other one, sprawled. Both of them didn't dare to move at all.

When they saw Fade walking towards them, they became nervous, trembling.

He looked down at them and asked coldly, "Tell me, how should I punish the two of you?"

Upon hearing this, Eckhart and Sanford were incredibly uneasy. Then, Sanford spoke up, "Our ability is inferior. We admit defeat."

"It's not enough to admit defeat!" Fade spat. Then, a ball of positive energy appeared in his palm, "We're all martial artists and you have quite some prowess. I feel uneasy about letting you go like that. Why not I just destroy your dantian abdomen..."

When they heard this, Eckhart and Sanford were shocked. As martial artists, it wasn't easy to cultivate until their current levels; that was all in the dantian abdomen. It was worse than death if their cultivation was destroyed in seconds.

"Master Chen, don't! I admit defeat and submit myself to your mercy. As long as you don't destroy my dantian abdomen, I'll do anything you want me to!" Sanford begged out loud. He didn't even care to act as a master in the situation.

Eckhart was even more terrified, nodding his head frantically, "It's the same for me!"

"Really?" Fade squinted his eyes at them.

"Absolutely, we swear! If we go against our oath, we will be struck by lightning," Sanford quickly replied.
