Chapter 192
"Mr. Chen's strength is beyond your imagination." Hubert Qian spoke slowly. His words caused Dominic Guo to react in shock. However, he still felt doubtful regarding this matter.
It was clear that he felt that Hubert Qian was exaggerating. After all, a young kid in his twenties might have some strengths and skills, but how high of a level could he have attained. The twin martial-artists under his service had reached the late Yellow Level, and if they combined in force they could match any peak Yellow level, martial artist.
Hubert Qian's expression darkened as he continued, "You don't believe me?"
Dominic Guo quickly gestured his hands in denial. But his expression could not completely conceal his doubts.
Hubert Qian glanced at Fade Chen, making a cordial gesture, saying, "Mr. Chen, you have always been discreet in your actions and dealings, it is truly unfortunate that while you are here at Hanover City you had to encounter people who confront and offend you. We as citizens of Hanover City would like to apologize on their behalf."
Upon hearing this, the crowd was even more baffled and taken aback. They looked at Fade Chen in confusion and began to whisper and mutter amongst themselves.
"Is it true, what Big Brother Qian is saying? Is Fade Chen really that powerful?"
"I don't think so! After all, Big Brother Qian himself reached the late Yellow-level, and we haven't even mentioned the other martial-artists."
"In my opinion, Big Brother Qian deliberately said all of this to pacify Fade Chen while threatening Dominic Guo at the same time."
As the crowd continued with their chatter and gossip, Fade Chen could not help but appreciate the fact that most elders had reached their high leadership position in society due to their wisdom, and there were not many who were foolish or incompetent.
Showing up at the scene, Hubert Qian had made the first move to greet him in deference, relying on his high social standing to threaten and subdue Dominic Guo. This was a direct warning to Dominic Guo.
Thereafter, sensing the dissatisfaction and discontent of the crowd, he shifted his approach to a more diplomatic and gentle one, clarifying to them that the reason behind his behavior was that he did not wish further harm to come upon Dominic Guo. This helped in lowering the level of resentment Dominic Guo had towards Hubert Qian by a few notches, while shifting the focus and target onto Fade Chen.
Finally, he had characterized Fade Chen as a man of discreet action and dealings, who by mischance had encountered people who wanted to confront or offend him. These roundabout words of elucidation was a veiled attempt to spur him into action, allowing Dominic Guo and the crowd to witness his great strength and skill. By doing this, Dominic Guo and the others would be completely awestruck and impressed by his might, and they would be grateful to Big Brother Qian for warning them in advance. Another reason would be that this would give Hubert Qian the opportunity to size up Fade Chen, letting him have a clearer idea of Fade Chen's abilities. After all, his deference to Fade Chen was merely based on his trust in Jimmy Wei, and he had never personally witnessed Fade Chen in battle.
Fade Chen could read between the lines. He gestured at the twin martial-artists and said rather abruptly, "Come at me then!"
The two bald martial- artists were stunned, and they looked towards Dominic Guo.
Dominic Guo's expression shifted slightly, and he looked quizzically at Hubert Qian. He had every intention of continuing the attack, but he had to take into account Hubert Qian's thoughts on this matter.
Noticing Fade Chen's resolute expression, Hubert Qian spoke in a clear tone, "Mr Chen is accepting your challenge, so you can go ahead if you wish. Your men can't harm him or match his strength and skill." He continued to extol Fade Chen, lauding his abilities.
Since Hubert Qian had agreed to it, Dominic Guo would not let this opportunity pass him by. He nodded to the two martial-artists and said, "Since Big Brother Qian has given his blessings, you can both go ahead with the challenge and let Mr. Chen enlighten you with some good moves."
Even though Dominic Guo had used the word 'enlighten', his darkened expression was a hint for the martial-artists to attack cruelly and without mercy. Evidently he wanted them to defeat Fade Chen and teach him a lesson.
Fade Chen realized this but was unconcerned. He did not move from where he was standing and said to the two martial-artists, "Let's begin and not waste any more time."
The twins narrowed their eyes and flared their nostrils, their fury rising. In an instant, both roared and rushed toward Fade Chen in unison.
When the crowd saw them move forward, they knew it was no-holds-barred. They were putting in maximum effort and it did not seem like they were treating this as just some challenge.
Seeing this, Dominic Guo could not help grinning contemptuously, as he relished in the retribution of Fade Chen.
Hubert Qian still seemed calm and collected. As he glanced at Fade Chen, he was prepared to pay attention to Fade Chen's alleged skill and strength. If Fade Chen lived up to his reputation as
Lunatic Chen, there would be nothing to be worried about, as the two martial-artists would not stand any chance against him. However, if Fade Chen did not possess the might and power attributed to the infamous Lunatic Chen, then he would be forced to lend him assistance due to his friendship with Jimmy Wei.
However, this assistance would mean that his respect and reverence of Lunatic Chen would be diminished.
Everyone had their considerations and reservations. At this instant, Fade Chen was bearing the ferocious attack of the twin martial-artists head-on.
He moved his body gently, shrugging his shoulders. As he raised his right hand, he bent his fingers and flicked them lightly at the two incoming men.
Instantly, one could hear the sound of two invisible bullets propelling through the air, hurtling towards the two men with great force and high speed.
The twins were caught off guard, as they wondered what this sound was.
"Poof, poof!" The sound of the invisible bullets landing on the two targets rang out clearly. Both men felt an excruciating pain in their bodies, and their expressions changed as they clutched their bellies and fell to the ground. They started spluttering blood, and their faces grew pale in agony.
Seeing this, the crowd was completely rattled. Dominic Guo in particular, who had an expression of satisfaction from the vengeance he was about to exact, immediately trembled violently. The expression on his face turned to that of incredulity and shock.
Even Hubert Qian shrank, his eyes narrowing. Glancing at Fade Chen, who was looking impassive, he felt his stomach churning in fear.
This Mr. Chen was truly the infamous Lunatic Chen of Bay City who had attacked and slain Old Wan of the Wan family. People had said that he was a Black level martial- artist, a young man in his twenties who had already reached this level. Was this the extent of his capabilities? It was not surprising that Jimmy Wei would say that he would follow Mr. Chen to the ends of the earth.
As he felt a whirlwind of emotions, Hubert Qian came forward to Fade Chen, looking respectful and ingratiating. He said, "Mr. Chen, you really live up to your reputation. Your power and might is truly an eye-opening revelation for all the people of Hanover City!"
After that, Hubert Qian admonished Dominic Guo and the two martial-artists, "Chief Guo, Mr. Chen is being merciful. He has not shown the two men the full force of his wrath, shouldn't you be thankful to him?"
Dominic Guo shuddered violently and he looked absolutely perplexed and dumbfounded. He bit his lip and walked towards Fade Chen. In front of Fade Chen, he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Thank you for showing us mercy, Mr. Chen. I am to be blamed for the previous issues. Please forgive me."

Fade Chen glanced at him without emotion and said, "Alright, from now on, the Guo family will remove themselves from the Hanover City entertainment industry."
Upon hearing this, Dominic Guo's face fell. He looked as though he wanted to speak up. However, Fade Chen's actions had left him in shock and in abject terror. For him, Fade Chen's request was crossing the line, as the Guo family enterprises were deeply anchored in Hanover City's entertainment industry. If they removed themselves, they would lose their wealth and revenue.
"Mr Chen, this ..." Dominic Guo tried to speak up.
Before he could say a word, Hubert Qian yelled fiercely at him from the side, "Mr. Chen is already being so accommodating, what else do you have to say!"
As Dominic Guo looked at Hubert Qian, who was furious and savage in expression, he was completely dumbfounded. He hesitated but had to nod in compliance, saying reluctantly, "I, Dominic Guo, will honor Mr. Chen's wishes."
Fade Chen nodded, gestured his hand, and said, "Good." Then he turned around and left with Scott Huang, Momo Su, and the others.
