Looking at Fade, Ingram smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are being modest. We've seen your performance. I'm afraid that even I won't be a match to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look behind him. The group of people who had been following behind him immediately nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, Mr. Chen defeated Faxon so easily. His strength is truly surprising."
"Mr. Chen, your strength must have reached the late stage of the Earth Level at the very least. It shouldn't be too long before you reach the peak stage of the Earth Level."
"It's a pity to not have known an expert like Mr. Chen earlier!"
Fade didn't feel proud at all at their flattery. On the contrary, he frowned and his expression became serious.
After all, he had no connection with this group of people. There must be a reason why they were flattering him.
After thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of a reason. He stopped guessing and asked directly, "Mr. Zhao, you are flattering me so much. I can't help but wonder what your true motive is."
Ingram was startled at how straightforward Fade was. However, he immediately smiled and said, "There are really some things that I want to talk to you about."
"Please go ahead then, Mr. Zhao!" Fade said.
Ingram narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him for a while. Then, he said, "You've won the championship in this Martial Arts Convention. Naturally, you would also earn the right of access to the Dragon Mausoleum, right?"
Fade narrowed his eyes at the mention of the Dragon Mausoleum. He paused for a moment and said, "That's true. What can I do for you then, Mr. Zhao?"
"I just want to talk to you about a business opportunity," Ingram said with a smile.
"Business? What business?" He asked.
Ingram replied, "I'm sure you are also aware of the legend surrounding the Dragon Mausoleum. It is said that there are secret guides for martial artists to improve greatly within a short period of time. Not to mention, there are also all sorts of weapons and medicines for our cultivation purposes."
"The business opportunity is simple. I will pay you a 100 million yuan as a deposit to reserve the treasures that you would be getting in the Dragon Mausoleum."
"Deposit and reserve?" Fade felt that something was wrong.
Ingram continued, "Mr. Chen, if you don't understand, I'll tell you in detail. Our Zhao family is willing to buy anything you find in the Dragon Mausoleum. Mr. Chen, you don't have to worry about the price. We, the Zhao family will definitely pay you handsomely as long as you manage to bring those items out."
He did not wait for Fade's reply. He waved his hand and said to his subordinates, "Give the deposit to Mr. Chen!"
Immediately, one of his men took a special VIP black card and handed it to Fade, "Mr. Chen, here is a deposit of 100 million yuan. Please accept it."
Fade looked at the bank card but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he frowned at Ingram and said, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
A few of his subordinates started explaining after hearing his words.
"What Young Master Zhao meant is he will buy the items you bring out of the Dragon Mausoleum.
With money." "It's a business deal. If you bring the items, he will pay you with money. Do you understand it now?"
Fade narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I don't want to sell them?"
Upon hearing this, Ingram's eyes darkened. Instead of answering his question, he said in a louder tone, "Our Zhao family will offer you a high price. There's no way you won't want to sell anything."
"Is that so?" Fade felt that something was wrong and he continued, "What if I really don't want to sell it?"
