Both of them shared a look. Then, Fade said to the construction workers, "Mister, tell your men to stop whatever they are doing. You cannot continue the construction here anymore."
"Wait, what? What are you..." The construction workers were not expecting that. They looked at the both of them in shock.
After all, these two young men were probably in their twenties and suddenly, they came here asking them to stop working? It was unbelievable.
Fade knew that they needed some proof since they were feeling skeptical of his words. Hence, he grabbed a metal bar and bent it with his bare hands. Then, he threw it on the group, where it landed with a loud clang.
"You and your men have nothing to do with this. I don't want to hurt you, do you get me?"
The construction workers saw that and their faces turned pale. One of them gulped nervously, nodded and said, "Yes, I do. We will stop and leave immediately."
Soon, the construction team packed up and left. The noisy hilltop was quiet once again.
However, the area was still very scattered and messy.
Caesar couldn't stand the mess. He started cleaning up the area, and Fade jumped in to help too.
Both of them were so caught up in their work that they didn't notice the sound of footsteps coming up the mountain.
Suddenly, someone shouted at Caesar and Fade, "Who dares to create trouble on the Cao family's property?"
Fade and Caesar heard that and turned around. They saw a familiar face.
It was Henric Cao, the eldest son of the Cao family.
Henric rushed up the mountain with a group of men. When he saw Fade and Caesar, he squinted his eyes and gasped, "It's you!"
Caesar stared at Henric fiercely and growled, "Henric Cao, care to explain yourself? What did you do to my grandmaster's grave?"
"Explain what?" Henric sneered, "We own this hill. Why do we need to explain anything to you for building something on our own property?"
Caesar was furious and roared, "Henric, don't forget what happened back in Dragonville. You lost and you promised to leave my grandmaster's grave alone. Your family also promised to come clean and tell everyone about the truth!"
"Are you trying to go back on your word?"
Henric's face changed when he heard Caesar bring up what happened in Dragonville. He was clearly very upset about what happened.
He was known as the Acupuncture Prince. He went to Dragonville with great confidence and wanted to take back the Bronze Acupuncture Manual. However, he lost terribly in the end.
Not only did he lose the challenge, he was even discovered to have cheated and that caused a huge uproar.
Fortunately, the Cao family responded in a timely manner and prevented the news from spreading in South Bay City.
Now that he saw Caesar and Fade again, Henric felt the humiliation from back then flare up once more.
