Kristoff Xie heard what was said and immediately shouted, full of reluctance, "A wine factory is still not enough for you. Now you even want our cosmetic company!"
Fade Chen's expression changed and he said coldly, "You've certainly asked for it. If you had handed over the wine factory obediently and allowed us to take over the business, there won't be so much trouble. But you secretly caused trouble for us, so now you have to pay the price for your actions!"
Joel Xie frowned and said, "Dr Chen, we understand that you need compensation. But you're too greedy to be asking for my cosmetics company!"
"Too greedy?" Fade sneered. He said, "If I didn't have this trump card, the Xie Family would have reoccupied this factory. I'm not sure if President Xie would use the word 'greedy' to describe yourself?"
Joel's expression turned cold and said, "I know that Mr. Chen's martial-arts skills are not bad. Even though our Xie Family is not a martial-arts family, we are still able to hire a few martial-arts masters. Do you really want to ruin your relationship with the Xie Family?"
"Masters of the martial- arts? Are you threatening me?" Fade snorted. He focused his attention, and a crimson energy ball appeared in his palm.
Energy surged in the center of his palm, and then it was ignited and turned into a ball of red flames. The flames burned fiercely on Fade's palm, but it did not hurt him at all.
Right then, Fade launched his palm, and the raging flame fell on a metal sculpture.
When the flame landed on the solid metal sculpture, the sculpture melted quickly like hot water on white snow. It turned into molten iron and flowed down the table.
Upon seeing this, Joel's expression was filled with horror.
Although he was not a martial-artist, he was, after all, a business tycoon in Long City, and he had many bodyguards with great martial-arts skills. Therefore, Joel was quite familiar with the martial-arts.
Right beside him was a bodyguard at the peak of the Yellow Level.
This man was hired by him at a high price. He was so powerful that even dozens of strong men couldn't get close to him. He was also very sensitive and reactive. Sometimes, he could even help Joel avoid bullets way in advance before his opponent fired them.
His power surprised Joel. But now, compared with the power that Fade showed him, his bodyguard at the peak of the Yellow Level beside him was not worth mentioning at all.
Joel was also not sure whether a Black Level master could be as powerful as Fade.
For a moment, a chill of fear rose up his spine. His entire body trembled, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Right then, he suddenly realized that he had been neglecting a matter all this while.
Fade and Quin Lin had gone to the Sun Family to ask for help. They had provoked the Sun Family and finally, they had been kicked out. When he first heard this news, he instinctively thought that Fade was not worth worrying about. Without the Sun Family as his backer, there was no threat at all. Therefore, he broke the contract and reoccupied the wine factory by force.
But now, he thought about the matter carefully. If Fade had provoked the Sun Family, how could he have actually left unharmed. And during this period of time, the Sun Family had not taken revenge on him either.
Such a strange situation, and he finally came to one conclusion. There was only one explanation, and that was, Fade was very powerful, that even the Sun Family had to worry about him. That was why they did not take revenge.
At this thought, Joel suddenly became limp. He knelt on the ground, thumped his head three times before Fade, and said, "Mr. Chen, we were wrong. Previously,we behaved obstinately and recklessly, and we made a huge mistake. Now, we, the Xie Family,are willing to transfer the company for free to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, and provide our best services to them. Mr. Chen, please forgive us."
Kristoff was not as thoughtful and cautious as his father, so he was a little surprised at his father's action.
