Chapter 2970
Chapter 2970
Fade left Cloud City without any means of transportation. He rushed into the wilderness and walked towards the nearby Linchain County.
It was a small county located in the northwest of Cloud City. It was surrounded by mountains and forests, and it was close to the border. There were few people there.
Therefore, three years ago, he chose a small mountain here and built a villa in it as a refuge for his relatives and friends.
Although he was walking, with his speed, he arrived in Linchain County a few hours later.
The surrounding forest was more majestic than three years ago. The lush trees almost covered the entire Linchain County.
At first glance, he almost couldn't recognize the directions.
Although he was going to his own courtyard in the mountains, he prepared to buy some things when he entered the small county.
However, he was somewhat surprised when he stepped into the county.
The streets of the small county were bustling and crowded.
Taking a glance, there were many martial artists on the streets. Not only were there Level One and Two martial artists, there were also some Level Three martial artists, and even a few Level Four martial artists.
"How come there are so many experts in this small county?" Fade suddenly became confused.
At this time, in a small restaurant next to him, many people who were eating, chatted loudly.
Seeing this, he also went to have a look. He ordered two dishes and listened to people's gossip while eating.
"Mr. Hu, so many foreigners have come here recently. Your restaurant must have made a lot of money."
"Indeed I made a bit of a profit, but it can't be compared to you, Mr. Xu. I heard that your farmhouse is being bought by someone from a martial arts academy. I guess you've earned quite a bit!"
"Haha, I was lucky. I made a fortune."
"Hey, why do you think the noble martial artists from big cities come to our small place?"
"Don't you know? Of course they came for Master Chen's treasures!"
Hearing this, Fade almost spit out a mouthful of water. "Master Chen's treasures, since when did I have treasures?"
Many people also had this doubt and asked one after another.
Someone immediately explained, "It seems that you don't pay any attention to the news. I'm guessing that everyone knows Master Chen!"
"Of course we know him. He's our country's, no, the entire world's hero."
"The government also set up an anniversary for Master Chen. Every year on his death anniversary, I will remember him!"
The person who spoke waved his hand and said, "The news you know is outdated. Now, the situation has changed."
"How did it change?" Someone asked curiously.
"Don't you know? Before the battle three years ago, there was a rumor that Master Chen sent all his relatives and friends to a nearby mountain. He also brought all his treasures and buried them in the mountain."
"What? Master Chen is such an important figure so his treasures must be valuable!"
"How come I don't know about this? If I had known, I would have looked for it."
"Haha, you're overthinking. You must be seeking death if you looked for it back then." The person who spoke sneered, drank a glass of wine, and continued.
"Master Chen's friends and relatives are all powerful figures. Do you think you can find the treasure under their control?" "Besides, even if you are lucky enough to find one or two treasures, the government will not approve of such behaviour." "After all, Master Chen is our great hero and he's gone now. Hence, it's inappropriate for you to divide his treasures!" Quite a few people nodded, agreeing with what that person had said.
Then, someone asked doubtfully, "Why can we look for it now? Is it because Master Chen's friends and relatives are all gone and the government doesn't care?"
The man drinking narrowed his eyes and said, "This is inside information."
"Don't keep me guessing, tell me!"
"I'll pay for your meal. Don't dawdle."
"Three months ago, there was a loud bang at night. Did you hear it?" The man drinking asked.
Many people nodded.
"That night, I was asleep and the loud bang woke me up. I thought there was an earthquake!"
"Yes, I was also awakened by the noise. I opened the door to take a look and found that there seemed to be several lights on the mountain." "Could it be that the commotion that night has something to do with what's happening now?"
"Of course! The loud noise that night was explained by the government that it was a special thunderstorm day, so everyone shouldn't worry However, I heard that it wasn't a thunderstorm at all, but a fight. A fight between high level martial artists."
"What? A fight? Who were the ones fighting?"
"I don't know who the other party is, but I'm sure that one of them is a friend and family member of Master Chen. Rumor has it that someone coveted Master Chen's treasure and wanted to rob it, so he had a conflict with Master Chen's friends and rétatives. That night, there was a big fight."
"What was the outcome of the fight? Who won and who lost?" Someone asked.
"Now that so many people have come to our county, there's no need to ask. Master Chen's family and friends must have lost!" Someone realized something.
The man drinking nodded and said, "No one knows the outcome, but one thing is certain. After that fight, there were more and more martial artists coming here to look for Master Chen's treasures."
"Moreover, the originally strict
attitude of the government has also
begun to soften slowly. From their initial ban to dissuasion, they have completely ignored it now. There are even rumors that our county
government is ready to unt
that this place is where Master Chen's treasure is, attracting martial artists to build our county into a special tourist attraction."
"Ah, how could this be? Why did the attitude of the government change so drastically?"
"Even if Master Chen's family and friends were defeated, it shouldn't be like this. After all, he is our hero. It's not appropriate to treat a hero like this!"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The man drinking let out a long sigh and said, "Whether it's appropriate or not, how can we, as commoners, explain it to them?"
"Moreover, it's not like you don't know what the world is like now. Martial arts is becoming more important. Everyone is fighting over martial arts resources more intensely."
"In this case, it's natural that someone is interested in the treasures left behind by Master Chen!"
"Well, that makes sense!"
"In this case, I finally understand why so many martial artists came to our county."
"However, I still feel that it is a little inappropriate! This isn't very good for the hero."
"Even if it isn't good, what can we do? Master Chen's relatives and friends didn't say anything. We are outsiders, so what can we say?" Someone said emotionally.
Fade listened quietly with a serious expression on his face. There was a cracking sound as he broke the chopsticks in his hand.
