As Chongrak was leaving, Sasha looked at Fade in doubt. Something was bothering her but she chose to bottle it up as Fade seemed to have no intention of explaining further.
Fade also noticed how puzzled Sasha was. However, it wasn't something he could explain to her. It wouldn't do her any good.
In fact, Fade let Chongrak off easy and gave him a set of martial art skills because Fade felt a sense of familiarity when observing the style of martial arts that Chongrak and Tiago practiced.
He sensed the same thing from the two of them with the one in his encounter with the Skull Mob.
Fade's most recent battle with a member of the Skull Mob was in Hamlin City. When Shinnie returned to Bay City, she was poisoned by the Snow Lotus Seed while Quin was poisoned by the Ice Lotus Seed. Fade assumed that it was related to the Skull Mob. However, he had no direct evidence to prove his theory.
Therefore, when Fade noticed Chongrak's energy was similar to the member of the Skull Mob, he was concerned.
Fade arranged for Chongrak to return to Torteland and improved his skills so he could prepare to face the Skull Mob in the future.
However, he could only know how effective his plan was when the time came. After all, Fade didn't put in much thought before he gave Chongrakthe notes.
When Chongrak left, Fade told Sasha while beckoning her, "It's settled, you don't have to worry anymore. Please send someone to clean this storage room."
Sasha nodded. Soon, the servants came to clean the storage room.
Fade was about to leave the Li family as there were no more matters for him to attend to.
Right then, Sasha held the Double Daggers, went to Fade, and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do with these daggers?"
Fade looked at the daggers and pondered for a while.
The quality of these two daggers was at the Earth Level. Keeping them as antiques would be a waste. However, they were not useful to him either.
Fade was reminded of Lucas. He decided to give them to Lucas since he just advanced to the Earth Level. On top of that, he was new to the position of Martial Soul of Jade City. It would be good as these daggers would help him to strengthen his power.
Hence, Fade took the daggers and said, "I'll have them since I have a use for them."
"Of course, one of the daggers belonged to your grandfather. I won't just take them from you. Tell me what you want in return," Fade asked.
Speaking of which, Sasha's eyes flickered. She waved her hands again and again while saying, "I don't want anything. If it weren't for you, I would not be alive. Besides, my family and I are now your men, and if you would like to have the daggers, we..."
Fade raised his hand and said, "You can drop all the formalities with me. You are not a slave, and I don't want to engage in the bullsh*t of these talks of the aristocracy. You just need to mind your business, and if you don't cross the line, I wouldn't be bothered about you."
"So, let me take your daggers and pay you the equivalent price," Fade insisted.
When Sasha heard this, she was touched and a little excited.
After all, it was a wonderful thing for someone of such caliber in Jade City like Fade to make such a promise to her. She was certain that everyone in the entire Jade City would be envious of her.
Sasha had countless thoughts on her mind at the moment. What should she request?
Should she ask to be in charge of the Li family? Or, should she request longevity drugs? Or better still, should she make Fade give his words to protect the Li family?
But Sasha quickly shook off all these ideas as they flashed through her mind.
Regardless of whether Fade would agree to these requests, it would ruin Fade's impression of her. In the end, these requests of hers would only come back and backfire on her.
