Taufeeq sighed to himself, full of regret. He felt as though he had missed out on a good opportunity.
But then, he shook his head, coming to his senses. He knew with unrivalled clarity that there was an insurmountable gap between the Moo family and big shots like Fade. They were from completely different worlds. He was lucky enough to have met him. Now was not the time to overthink things.
The once- lively Clara looked at Fade with sadness and a hint of regret. Even though she did not understand what a hidden family, or a Martial Arts Master was, she knew that there was a gap between them that she would not be able to bridge.
All the joy in her heart evaporated the instant she thought about it.
With a sigh, the father and daughter pair left. After their departure this time, they had no idea if they'd be able to meet Fade again.
Everyone at the Dragon Mausoleum had left. Fade did not even allow Romeo, Hollace and the others to stay behind. With a few curt instructions from him, they returned to Capital City.
The Dragon Mausoleum, which had been bustling with activity, was now only left with Fade, Moore and Harold.
With one hand gripping Harold, Fade asked, "Is there a reason you asked me to spare his life, Moore?"
He nodded. He glanced at Harold, then answered Fade's question. "I have some questions about the past. It's related to my daughter and wife."
When Moore said that, Fade could not help but think of his junior, Joey. Although he was almost certain that Moore was her father, Fade kept his lips sealed as he had not confronted Joey about it yet.
He tapped Harold lightly, and flung him to Moore. "Moore, you may start your interrogation!"
At that, Fade turned around, ready to leave.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Moore yelled at him, "Fade, you don't need to leave. Since I've been exposed, there's nothing else to hide about the past anymore. If you're interested, you're more than welcome to listen."
Fade nodded and sat on a rock beside him. His gaze towards Harold was cold and unflinching.
Moore squatted down, looking at Harold who was in front of him. He took a deep breath, suppressed the roiling emotions in his heart, and asked, "Harold, you previously tore my family apart just because of your ego. Now that you're in my hands, is there anything you wish to say?"
Harold snorted at his words. "Ego? It wasn't a matter of ego, but of my dignity, as well as the Chiang family's! You snatched my fiancee and stole my title as champion of the Martial Arts Convention. To you, is that just a trivial matter?"
Moore's face fell when he heard what Harold had to say. In a low voice, he replied, "Harold, I defeated you in the Martial Arts Convention with my own abilities, fair and square. As for Daisy, you know you're being ridiculous. She never intended to marry you! She truly loves me and I love her in return. How could I have snatched my own lover away from you?"
"The Luo family had arrangements to get engaged to the Chiang family at that time. Then, you appeared all of a sudden and snatched Daisy away. If that's not robbing me of my love, then what is it?" Harold gnashed his teeth and retorted.
