The tour guide snorted and said, "This is Pagodaland, not your home country. You'd better consider the consequences first before you cause a scene." "Now, go back inside and shop for me!"

The middle-aged tourists had no choice but to turn around and return to the shop at the sound of the chilling voices, and the sticks and the iron rods.

The crowd burst into a discussion.

Some people were angry and said they wanted to fight them. Some even said they wanted to find reporters to expose them through the media. Some also suggested staying put as they were and see who could wait it out until the end.

Of course, there were some of those who wanted to just spend money to settle this matter.

10,000 yuan was not a big number for those who wanted to make a fortune after all.

It was chaotic in the jade store.

As for the group of young people who were with Fade, all of their expressions changed. They didn't expect that things would turn out this way.

Rachel turned to Fade and said, "Thank you for your reminder just now."

Obviously now, they knew that all of the items in the shop were counterfeited. Fade's reminder earlier was done with good intention.

However, Kingston and Hazel's expressions now made them look like they swallowed a fly.

The additional chaos outside also frightened Hazel. "W- What should we do now? If we don't fulfil the purchase requirement, they won't let us go. This..."

Rachel frowned and said when she heard this, "Hmm, he's just trying to intimidate us. He can't be serious!"

However, it was at this moment that a horrifying scream rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw that a man in his fifties was lying on the ground with a bloody wound on his head. A local was standing next to him with a bloody wooden stick in his hand.

The tour guide swept his eyes over the crowd and said in a glacial voice, "This is how you'll end up when you try to break out by force. All of you better consider carefully which one is more important, 10,000 yuan or your life."

The dissatisfied man just now wanted to force his way out, but he was knocked to the ground by the tour guide's men.

The surrounding crowd quietened down immediately.

The conflicted group of people suddenly came to an agreement. They were willing to spend the money to have this matter settled.

All the middle-aged tourists took out their money and quickly bought 10,000 yuan worth of products.

Soon, the only ones who did not buy anything were Fade and the other young people.

Everyone's eyes were all on them now.

The situation made it more awkward for Rachel and Hazel. They were struggling college students after all, so they could not afford to pay the 10,000 yuan.

Kingston saw this and waved his hand. He said, "Rachel, Hazel, I'll pay for both of you."

After that, he bought a product with a 30,000 yuan price tag. He then handed one to Hazel and another one to Rachel.

Rachel didn't want to accept Kingston's gift, but she had no choice in this current matter.

She was in a pickle at that moment. Rachel glanced at Fade.

His face was a block of ice now. He frowned.

He wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible not long ago. It would be easier for him to leave and deal with the affairs at the Witchcraft Clan. After all, 10,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket for him. However, now, after seeing a tourist collapse from that beating, he had a change of heart. These unethical businessmen had crossed him and he was furious.

He remained quiet for a while. He became the focus of everyone's attention.

The tour guide snorted and urged him, "You're Fade, right? You're the only one left. Hurry up so you don't take up everyone's time."

Many of the middle-aged tourists also echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, everyone did their part, and you are the only one that hasn't."

"Get to it quickly, young man!"

"Young man, if you're short on money, just tell us and we can lend you some."

Kingston, who was beside him, even gave Fade a smug look. He mocked, "Brother Chen, you dressed quite well but I really didn't expect you to not have 10,000 yuan." "Since we're all in this together, how about you get on your knees and kowtow to me? I'll help you pay the money and you don't have to pay me back," he continued arrogantly. "Kingston, you..." Rachel automatically frowned at his demand.

Hazel, who was beside Rachel, tugged at her though. She said, "Rachel, Kingston means well. You don't have to say anything. Besides, even if he refuses, it's not like he has that kind of money."

"And if he doesn't have that money, all of us will be trapped here and suffer with him."

"But..." Rachel felt that something was amiss, but she could do nothing about it.

The tour guide was also losing his patience. "Someone already offered to pay. Why are you still hesitating? Hurry up!"

"Hurry, young man."

"You just have to kowtow, don't you? It's not a big deal at all. Get to it man!"

"I'm starving to death. No more stalling."

"My patience is limited. If you don't kneel and kowtow in a minute, I'll rescind my offer," Kingston gloated at him.

Fade ignored him and swept his

eyes over the crowd. He finally pointed to the bloody man on the ground. He spoke up and his tone was icy When one of your own is being beaten, when you're being scammed, every one of you ganged up to put pressure on your own people instead of trying to save them, to avenge them, to fight for them."

"This is what you meant by doing the right thing, yes? Or is this the adult way?"

"From the way I see it, all of you are coldblooded, selfish trash."

As soon as he said that, pin-drop silence filled the room and the crowd's expression changed. It later transformed into shameful anger and it was directed at Fade.

"It's easier said than done. Do you dare to fight back when you're in other people's territory?"

"You criticize us for not saving or defending our own people, but what about you? Why don't you do it then?"

"He's young and hot-blooded. Just you wait until the harsh realities of society are beaten into you."

"I think he needs to pull his nose out from those books. He actually believes that the real word is so black and white!"

The other young people around Fade came to their senses at this moment.

There was a guilty look on Rachel's face. She then put the jade in her hand down, walked to his side and said, "I think Fade has a point. We can't be too spineless. We have to unite and fight against them support him!"

"Rachel, get back here quickly. Are you mad? That's too dangerous." Hazel panicked when she saw this and tried to persuade her friend to return.

Rachel shook her head with conviction though.

Kingston's face darkened by the second. He glared vehemently at Fade, he spoke through gritted teeth, "Don't just pay lip service. If you're so capable, go and deal with those people then."
