Fade Chen waved his hands and said, "You can keep it for yourself. Although this is a good sword, it is nothing to me."
Master Xie stared at Fade Chen for a few seconds to make sure that Fade Chen was not testing him, then he put away the wooden sword with joy. He was much more careful than before.
"Then, Master Chen, you-"Since Fade Chen didn't want the wooden sword but had called him over, he must have some other intentions.
Fade Chen said, "I need to go to the location where you found the wood. Do you still remember that place?"
Master Xie nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember! remember. I went there once last year."
"Very well, I am occupied recently. But when I need it, I will ask you to take me there. Do you understand?" Fade Chen said.
"Understood, understood!" Master Xie nodded quickly, and then asked hesitantly, "Master Chen, so, I, can I go now?"
Fade Chen nodded. Master Xie turned around with a grin on his face. He was scheming on something.
However, before his second step, there was a sudden strong gust of wind coming from behind him. Master Xie had just turned his head when he saw Fade Chen shot a red beam into his back. His body felt hot for a moment and then returned to normal.
Master Xie's expression changed instantly and his voice trembled. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "Master Chen, I, I.."
Fade Chen waved and said, "Don't be afraid. You won't die now."
"Now!" Master Xie caught the key word and gulped.
Fade Chen said, "I have injected a trace of poison into your body. You will be fine within half a year. But if you don't find the antidote by half a year, there will only be one outcome, you will die."
"Ah!" Master Xie now shocked and scared and began to tremble violently.
"Don't worry. As long as you are obedient and don't have any unnecessary plot twist within these six months, I will come and look for you. After you take me to that place, I will give you the antidote," Fade Chen said coolly.
Master Xie calmed down a little, but his heart was still thumping, he was at the verge of crying.
Fade Chen was too lazy to bother about him, so he just turned around and left. "Stay alert in the next six months. I will call you at any time."
Master Xie was depressed. As a martial warrior at the advanced stage of the Yellow Level, he could have pretended to be a master in front of ordinary people and enjoyed a good, comfortable life. But he ended up becoming Fade Chen's servant who had to respond whenever he was called, and at the same time worried about his dear life.
While Master Xie was muttering in his heart, Fade Chen paused and advised in a cold voice, "Of course, you can choose to not believe me and escape. But you will be responsible for your own consequences later."
After that, Fade Chen strode away without looking back, leaving Master Xie with a worried face. After a sigh, he decided to be a servant for half a year, not risking his life.
At this moment, Fade Chen inadvertently observed the scene behind him. Knowing that Master Xie had accepted his fate, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
The poison he mentioned just now was just to deceive people. After all, under normal circumstances, he would not carry the poison with him. As for the red beam, it was just the scorching true vital energy of Fade Chen, who practiced the "Kung Fu of Jiu Yang".
Fade Chen's intention to control Master Xie, was so that he could find more precious treasures following the trail of the Rudraksha wood.
It was known that if there was a Rudraksha wood, there would be a Rudraksha tree nearby. And if there was a tree, it would be very likely to find the Rudraksha seeds. The seeds were the real essence of the tree.
If fully aged, the Rudraksha seeds would be very beneficial even for a master like Fade Chen. The Rudraksha seed could help with Qi cultivation, treatment for illnesses, weapon refining, and many more.
Putting aside the issue of the Rudraksha seed for the time being, when Fade Chen returned to the villa, his wife, Quin Lin was already home.
Although Quin Lin did not ask, Fade Chen still briefly summarized for her, the series of events that happened when he and Caesar Du went to bid for the treasure, which was found to be a scam at the end. Although she did not say anything, when she finally went upstairs, the side of her lips curved upwards to show her approval of Fade Chen's actions.
As days went on the story of the stone Buddha deception gradually spread within the circle of antique collectors in Bay City, and Fade Chen the Master Chen became famous in the circle.
However, compared to the influence and change as a result of the meeting between Quin Lin and Charles Wu, Fade Chen's influence was not as significant.
After half a day's discussion, Charles Wu and Quin Lin had officially reached an agreement, and Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Galaxy Plaza Mall had reached a strategic partnership.
The Galaxy Plaza Mall would completely let go of the threshold and profit margins for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products to penetrate the shopping mall. At the same time, it also increased the distribution scale of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products. On the other hand, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc would award Galaxy Plaza Mall, its sole distributorship for the company's hot-selling products to the mall, including a limited amount of its exclusive health elixir to be supplied to the VIP counter at the Galaxy Plaza Mall.
In less than a week, the result of the cooperation between the two business giants was evident.
The market share of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc in Bay City increased by fifteen percent as a result of this strong collaboration. The brand image was also enhanced.
Contrary to the rise of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, it's closest competitor, Shang Enterprises Holdings, who was originally at the second place in the cosmetic market share, was badly hit following the strategic move of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. Shang Enterprises Holdings' market share took a plunge and the profit was significantly diminished.
The stock price of Shang Enterprises dropped by 20 percent. Everyone within the organisation were grim. Leonard Zhu's father, Xavier Zhu, instantly looked like he had aged a few years.
On the other hand, Galaxy Plaza Mall began to develop rapidly in Bay City. Its business expanded from the initial commercial real estate to the residential real estate. In a short period of time, it actually went from zero to owning a huge chunk of the economy in Bay City.
This made the biggest real estate company in Bay City, the Hans Real Estate jumped to their feet. Howard Zhang, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly showed up again. He even came to Quin Lin's villa to seek Quin Lin's help to connect him with Galaxy Plaza Mall, to make compromise with the company.
However, when Charles Wu and Quin Lin decided to collaborate, they had already expected this. Under such a good situation, none would take the initiative to pull out, so Howard Zhang did not stand a chance and was directly being driven away.
As a result, the glamorous No.1 young master of Bay City, left with a somber face.
Howard Zhang himself was also a tragedy. Since he was taught a lesson by Fade Chen at Mr. Wu's banquet that time, his ego was badly wounded. So he had planned to stay at home and lay low for a while until the matter subsided.
However, just as he was about to make a come back, his plan was disrupted by the collaboration of Galaxy Plaza Mall and Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, once again taking a huge blow.
