"Mr. Ann, If you're unhappy with this arrangement, I'll give up the Rudraksha tree," added Madam Jodie.

Hearing this, Mr. Ann sneered, "The Rudraksha tree is nothing if compared with the Nine Leaf Ice Flower. I am willing to give up the Rudraksha tree, can you give me the Nine Leaf Ice Flower instead?" Madam Jodie was sullen. She said, "No way. I must acquire the Nine Leaf Ice Flower."

Sensing the brewing fight between both of them, Mr. Liu, the man in a short robe, quickly interrupted, "Mr. Ann, Madam Jodie, both of you are well-respected seniors in our region, and both the Dark Souls Clan and the Quiet Heart Monastery are famous sects in Southcloud District. Why are you both putting your reputation on the line by quarreling over such a trivial issue?"

"I have a suggestion. Since there are nine petals in total, and we happened to come from three different parties. Why don't we divide them equally, so that each of us gets three petals. Isn't that brilliant?" However, as soon as Mr. Liu finished, Mr. Ann and

Madam Jodie whipped their heads to Mr. Liu and said in unison, "Divide equally? No way!"

Mr. Ann said in a low and threatening voice, "Mr. Liu, is the Liu family of Southcloud District trying to fight with the Dark Souls Clan?"

Madam Jodie also shot Mr. Liu a death stare and said, "Our Quiet Heart Monastery is set on getting the Nine Leaf Ice Flower."

Hearing this, Mr. Liu could not help but put on a bitter smile. He understood that the Liu family he came from was not on par with the Dark Souls Clan and the Quiet Heart Monastery in terms of power. Therefore, he came up with the proposal to divide the petals in equal. After all, that would be the best choice for him as the weakest party of the three.

However, he did not expect his suggestion to be shot down outright as soon as he voiced his mind.

It seemed that the duo was serious about the Nine Leaf Ice Flower, they were prepared to fight till the end. As for how many petals would be left for the Liu family in the end, Mr. Liu felt hopeless thinking about it.

As Mr. Liu had gone silent, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie immediately moved their attention away from him. Mr. Ann glared at Madam Jodie and said, "Madam Jodie, give it to me. The Dark Souls Clan will owe you a favor, and I will always remember your kindness."

Shaking her head, Madam Jodie pressed on firmly. "Why don't we do it the other way round? You give it to me, in return, I will remember your favor."

The atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, as if they were about to break out into a fight any second now.

But at this particular moment, a loud sneer came from their top and drifted into their ears without fail. "A group of stupid thieves, you haven't manage to steal anything yet, but you're already discussing on dividing the loot. This is ridiculous."

Hearing this, the trio in the cave were thunderstruck. They bellowed in anxiety, "Who, who is talking?"

"Who's hiding there? Show yourself!"

Meanwhile, their followers who were standing guards outside the cave, all rushed in and said in frenzied voices, "Oh no, that Aaron Xie is back, and he's brought a man to aid him."

"Aaron, that old man, he had the guts to come back?" Mr. Ann frowned.

"An aid? What aid?" asked Madam Jodie.

Right at this moment, two figures strode into the cave. They were none other than Fade Chen and Aaron Xie.

The six people in the cave scrutinized the duo with squinted eyes. Then, their eyes fell on Fade and shouted to him, "Who are you?"

Fade's eyes were grave. He glanced at them with a venomous look before shaking his head and said coldly, "What a gang of daring thieves. You stole my stuff, but you had no idea who I am?"

Aaron also said in a deep voice, "This is Master Chen, who owns everything in the cave. Apologize for it right this instance, or else..."

Without waiting for Aaron to finish, Mr. Ann sneered and interrupted him. Wearing a look of disdain, he said, "Aaron Xie, haven't you learnt your lesson? Your nose is bloody and your face swollen. Such guts you have to be coming back again, I think you are seeking for your own demise!"

Madam Jodie also guffawed. Her eyes fell on Fade. She snorted disdainfully and said, "You're just a brat. How dare you speak so rudely to us? Do you know who we are?"

Only Mr. Liu was eyeing Fade intensely. He frowned slightly and searched hard in his train of memory, but he couldn't remember having seen this person before at all. After hearing their response, Fade's face turned solemn. He shook his head and said in a cold voice, "Silly thieves. I don't need to know who you are. Go to hell!"

As he spoke, Fade's anger exploded and initiated the attack.

Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie merely sneered at him.

"Arrogant boy, you don't know what's good for you. How dare you attack us! You are looking for death!"

"Boy, are you the so-called Master Chen? Is that all you can do? Ridiculous!"

While speaking, Mr. Ann wielded a stream of black light toward Fade, which was akin to a sharp sword, charging toward Fade with incredible speed. On the other hand, Madam Jodie waved a beam of silver light at him, which transformed into dozens of silver needles that aimed to seal all of Fade's Acupoints.

The combo technique of the duo's signature moves was extraordinary indeed. Both Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie had achieved the middle stage of Black Level in martial arts, and they were both ranked as the top master of their respective districts.

However, they were unfortunate to have met Fade as their opponent.

"Break it!" At this moment, Fade didn't care about their sarcastic words and offensive moves in the slightest. He merely narrowed his eyes and extended his arms to block their attack with his palms.

When Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie saw the scene, they immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Boy, how silly you are. How dare you block my attack with your own palms? You're courting death!"

"An arrogant boy who overestimates himself. You are just a frog in the well who hasn't seen the real deal before. How ridiculous and pathetic!"

With a condescending attitude, the duo seemed to have foreseen the scene where Fade was defeated spectacularly by their attack.

However, Mr. Liu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly recalled something from his train of memory. He stole a few glances at Fade again to reconfirm his suspicion, and his face stiffened dramatically into a sheer horrified look.

He quickly shouted to Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie, "Both of you, stop fighting now, hurry."

"Mr. Liu, what are you doing?" Hearing his words, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie frowned in exasperation. They stared at Mr. Liu disapprovingly.

At this moment, nervousness was mounting in Mr. Liu. He yelled, "That, that person you've just attacked is Master Chen. Master Chen, he is the real deal. He is the real master of martial arts. Stop now. If we offend him, none of us will be alive."

Hearing Mr. Liu's exaggerated holler, Mr. Ann and Madam Jodie were overwhelmed by puzzlement and disappointment. Their stunned face was in a complete daze. "What Master Chen? He's just an ignorant brat. What's wrong with you, Mr. Liu?"
