"Yolanda, are you really going to choose an outsider whom you've just met for two days over me?" Lemont asked, staring at her in disbelief.
She deliberately turned her head away from him and replied, "Lemont, your attitude makes me sick. Even if Brother Chen wasn't here, I would never marry you either."
"You... You..." He gritted his teeth, misery and despair filling his eyes. Her reply had rendered him speechless.
"Yolanda, you made me do this. You left me without a choice."
After uttering those harsh words, he turned to look at Lingo and said, "Mr. Gu, that kid robbed my beast hunting team's prey, a Whitehead Bear, from the forest."
"Please help me get back the vicious beast. In return, I'll give it to you as a token of my gratitude."
Several people at the scene turned to look at Lemont in surprise upon hearing that.
Even the lofty and powerful Lingo was impressed, and his eyes flickered when he heard of the powerful vicious beast.
After all, the Whitehead Bear was a Rank 8 vicious beast, which was equivalent to a martial artist in the Soul Refine Realm, and vicious beasts of this level were usually worth more than 50 thousand yuan stones.
50 thousand yuan stones was not a small sum of money to them, not even for Lingo.
At that moment, a smile appeared on Lingo's face. He looked at Lemont and said, "Don't worry. As the captain of the City Guards, it's my duty to seek justice for the people. Therefore, I'll definitely help you get the Whitehead Bear back."
However, Hadrian quickly explained, "No, Mr. Gul It' s not what you think it is. The Whitehead Bear doesn't belong to our beast hunting team. Instead, Mr. Chen was the one who killed it. If he hadn't acted in time, we would've been killed by the Whitehead Bear." With that, he shot Lemont an angry glare, and the others turned to look at the latter with doubtful expressions.
"Lemont, what are you doing?"
"The Whitehead Bear attacked us at that time. If it wasn't for Mr. Chen, we would’ve all been killed."
"Lemont, how could you do this? You're going too far."
Meanwhile, Yolanda cursed at him, "Lemon, are you shameless? Brother Chen's our savior. How could you treat him like this?"
However, at that moment, Lemont was completely blinded by anger. He ignored their warnings, then continued to look at Lingo and begged, "Mr. Gu, please help me."
Just then, Rayyan stepped forward and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"So that's where the vicious beasts come from!"
"Sir, we just sold a Whitehead Bear and a Cloud-splitting Leopard at Myriad Treasures Hall for a total of more than 66 thousand yuan stones. We didn't expect those vicious beasts to come from such an unknown origin!"
Upon hearing that, Lemont’s and Lingo's expressions darkened again.
''Apparently, apart from the Whitehead Bear, you also caught a Cloud-splitting Leopard!" Lingo gasped in surprise. The Cloud-splitting Leopard was a Rank 7 vicious beast, which was equivalent to a martial artist in the Physical Refine Realm.
Lemont quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. The Cloudsplitting Leopard originally belonged to our beast hunting team, but that kid stole it from us."
"Lemont, what nonsense are you spouting?!” Yolanda could not help but seethe.
However, with the temptation of more than 50 thousand yuan stones, Lingo would not let go of this golden opportunity. With a wave of his hand, he ordered theCity Guards, "Everyone move and go catch the thief!"
At that instant, a dozen fully armed City Guards raised their weapons and surrounded
Fade.
The atmosphere immediately grew tense.
At the same time, Yolanda moved to stand beside Fade without hesitation and said firmly, "Brother Chen, I'm on your side."
Hadrian and the others could not help but bite their lips, as looks of struggle appeared on their faces.
Of course, they knew that Fade was wronged, and they also hoped to fight for him and seek justice.
However, the enemy they were facing was the captain of the City Guards and a member of the Gu family.
Hunters like them were no match for such a strong enemy.
If they dared to attack the City Guards, they would probably be killed.
Therefore, Hadrian began to hesitate after considering the consequences.
Just when he and the others were hesitating to come up with a decision, Fade spoke up.
"Mr. Qin, please take Yolanda away. I can deal with them alone."
"Brother Chen!"
"Mr. Chen!"
Hadrian and Yolanda shouted at the same time.
Fade did not bother to explain to them any further. Instead, he said coldly, "You' re too weak, so you won't be able to help much by staying back here. On the contrary, you'll probably drag me down."
"I..." A look of unwillingness appeared on Yolanda's face, but in the end, Hadrian pulled her back and retreated to the side.
Then, the City Guards surrounding Fade closed in on him.
Upon seeing the situation became more and more dangerous as the City Guards got closer and closer to Fade, Yolanda murmured with a sorrowful expression, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. I'm too weak to help you."
Meanwhile, Hadrian looked at him with a complicated expression.
Of course, he knew that Fade did not mean to hurt them when he said those words just now. Instead, Fade was trying to make them leave because he did not want them to get into trouble.
Hadrian felt ashamed for hesitating to help Fade, and he lowered his head.
Feeling helpless, he could only plead in his heart, "I hope what Mr. Chen said is true and that the Gu family will appear in time to help him out!"
However, his pleading did not seem to work.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The City Guards began to attack Fade.
The City Guards were powerful enough to fight against Hadrian and the rest of the beast hunting team.
However, things were different when they were fighting against Fade.
He charged at the City Guards as if he had turned into a ferocious hungry wolf. He threw punches and kicked at them, and in less than ten minutes, he knocked all of them down.
As for Fade himself, he was not injured at all.
The onlookers were stunned after witnessing such a scene.
Especially the members of the beast hunting team. They stared at Fade in surprise, their mouths agape from the shock.
After all, they had thought that even though Fade had killed the Whitehead Bear, his strength was at most at Stage 9 of the Physical Refine Realm.
However, Fade remained unscathed after taking down more than a dozen City Guards at Stage 7 of the Physical Refine Realm.
They realized that he had definitely achieved the Soul Refine Realm.
Martial artists who had achieved the Soul Refine Realm were considered to be at another level.
For a moment, Lemont could not help but feel a sense of fear arose in his heart, and he wondered if he had done something wrong.
However, when he turned around to look at Lingo, the fear in his heart immediately dissipated."
