Chapter 72
" Fade, here's the thing... Tom Wei began to tell the story. "There is always some conflict and dispute among us who work in the underworld. In order to avoid more controversy our peers have come up with a rule, that we will gather regularly and hold a contest to resolve all kinds of conflict."
"Is the competition about to begin?" Fade Chen asked.
Tom Wei nodded and said. "The competition will commence tomorrow afternoon. Dude, do you have time tomorrow?"
Fade Chen said, "With your strength, I don't think you will lose out. Why don't you ask your uncle to arrange some masters for combat?"
Tom Wei shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that simple. It's because this competition pertains to the disputes of the gangs younger generations. Therefore, we are not allowed use the resources of the elders and need to fight on our own."
"Unfortunately, I have already lost thrice in the previous contests. I'll become the joke if I continue to lose in the upcoming contest. Especially, the bet for this contest is attractive. The Wan family has put at stake a piece of land of Bay City. If I win, the power of Long Enterprise will finally enter South Bay City." Tom Wei looked at Fade Chen with excitement.
"The Wan family? Upon hearing this name, Fade Chen frowned and thought of the information that he got from Donald Qin last time. There was a case from Horace Wan, the master of the Wan Family. The Wan Family is the one that went against Long Enterprise of North Bay City ?"
"Yes!" Tom Wei nodded, saying "That's the Wan family. To be honest, the battle was constantly between the Long Enterprise and the Wan family. Other people basically support us behind our backs."
By hearing this, Fade Chen's eyelids trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Horace Wan, the young master of the Wan family, will also participate in this competition?"
Tom Wei said, "Of course he will. Horace Wan is my worst enemy, because the Wan family is a martial arts aristocratic family, and their strength has always been good. In several contests, I have lost to them. Hence, I'm seeking you to help me out. Dude, help me, OK?"
Fade Chen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "OK!"
"Great, Fade. I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. We will definitely win this round with you around." Tom Wei said excitedly.
Fade Chen's expression was calm, he promised to help Tom Wei participate in this competition mainly because he wanted to figure out what Horace Wan was like.
Then, Tom Wei continued to talk about the competition with Fade Chen and sent him back home.
The next day, just after lunch, Tom Wei drove an impressive Ferrari sports car to pick Fade Chen up and drove all the way to the suburbs.
This kind of competition must have been a big fight. It was common for participants to get violent injuries. Sometimes, there might even be life-threatening situations. Hence, it was necessary to find a remote place to hold it.
After driving for about an hour, the car arrived at a holiday resort in the suburbs. The big holiday homes had been emptied for this competition and were not open to the public.
When Tom Wei and Fade Chen arrived, numerous luxury cars had been parked in the parking lot, with brands such as Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. Everyone around was gawking the cars.
As soon as Tom Wei got out of the car, many young men gathered around him and greeted him. They were obviously Tom Wei's supporters.
After greeting everyone, a plump man with bleached hair named Huang glanced at Fade Chen, and then stretched out his head to look at Tom Wei's luxury car, as if he was looking for something.
Tom Wei patted on Huang, and said, "Huang, what are you looking for?"
" Master Wei, who do you invite this time? Where is Master Wang ?" Huang asked doubtfully. Master Wang was gangster who usually fought for Tom Wei in the previous competitions before. He was powerful and experienced. However, he had been defeated three times in a row recently, which affected his reputation.
Tom Wei pointed to Fade Chen and said, "Master Wang is still recovering. This time, I come with my dude Fade instead. Come here, all of you." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
The crowd came over and looked at Fade Chen from head to toe. Their faces were obviously a little confused, but they greeted him absently. They were very puzzled that Tom Wei had invited such a scrawny boy to join the battle.
Tom Wei did not explain further, but introduced these people to Fade Chen one by one. They were all Tom Wei's followers in the gang, so their relationship was close.
Huang winked, and several people came over and pulled Fade Chen to enquire more about him. Fade Chen said nothing useful and answered them with perfunctory responses.
Huang pulled Tom Wei aside, glanced at Fade Chen, and said to Tom Wei, "Master Wei, are you kidding me ? You invite such a kid here for such a crucial battle today. You don't have to do this even if you don't believe in yourself. Why don't I ask Master Liu to help you ? His strength has improved a lot
recently. His strength is even stronger than Master Wang's." Master Liu was an assistant fighter recruited by Huang.
Tom Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Huang, know your intentions. But you can rest assured that Fade will be fine."
"But, Master Wei..." Huang still wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps approaching from the opposite side, and a group of people came over.
Suddenly, everyone looked over. The leader was a young man of 22 years old. The man's face was serious, and his steps were steady. His every step contained a unique charm. Obviously, he had practiced martial arts for many years.
In addition, the man was dressed in an exquisite white Chinese traditional suit, which made him look more handsome and elegant. Everyone could not help but stare at him.
It was Tom Wahl's rival, the master of Bay City from the Wan Family, Horace Wan.
Horace Wan smiled and looked at Tom Wei, saying, "Tom Wei, the land you prepared is not bad. I'll thank you in advance." After that, the followers behind Horace Wan suddenly burst into laughter. Obviously, they had come to irritate Tom Wei on purpose.
"Horace Wan, it's not certain who will win today. Don't be too arrogant." Tom Wei snorted.
Horace Wan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Tom, you've said that a few times before. But the result is always the same, you've lost!"
Hearing his words, Huang and the others were so furious that they wanted to rush forward and fight Horace Wan immediately. However, Tom Wei, who had always been impulsive, became the calm one this time. He pulled everyone back, coldly saying, "See you later", and then took his men to the lounge.
