FULL NOVELXO Chapter 77
In a fit of anxiety, Fade Chen finished his breakfast in a hurry and went to the company with Quin Lin.
Before long, Fade Chen received a call from Tom Wei. "Brother Fade, are you free? Can you come to the Drunken Parlour?"
"What's wrong?" Fade Chen asked.
Tom Wei said, "Well, Horace brought the Nine Star Plant here, but there are some minor problems."
"What's the problem?" The Nine Star Plant was what Fade Chen needed. When he heard that there was something wrong, Fade Chen couldn't help frowning. But then he said, "Hold on to them and I'll be right there."
After applying for leave on the system, Fade Chen took off his uniform, rushed out of the company and rushed to the bar.
In less than 20 minutes, Fade Chen came to the Drunken Parlour. Tom Wei immediately came out and led Fade Chen to a private room.
"What's going on?" Fade Chen asked Tom Wei.
Tom said, "Horace brought the things here, but it seems that they don't want to give us the Nine Star Plant and want to exchange it with other things. I don't know much about these things. Since it's Brother Fade who wants the Nine Star Plant, I think it's better for you to come and see."
"Okay!" Fade Chen nodded and understood the situation. Then he pushed the door open and entered the private room.
As soon as he entered the private room, Fade Chen saw Horace Wan sitting on the sofa opposite him. Beside him sat a man in his thirties. The man was thin, but his muscles were strong and full of power. He was obviously a martial arts practitioner.
Tom Wei and Fade Chen sat opposite them. Tom Wei immediately said, "Horace, I've promised Brother Fade that I'll give him the Nine Star Plant. So, you can talk to Brother Fade about it."
Horace Wan nodded, and his eyes fell on Fade Chen. Then he picked up a wooden box next to him, opened it, and showed it in front of Fade Chen, saying, "This is the Nine Star Plant."
Fade Chen glanced at it and said, "It's indeed the Nine Star Plant." After that, Fade Chen reached out to touch the wooden box.
However, just as Fade Chen made his move, the thin man next to Horace Wan suddenly stood up, grabbed the box with one hand, and stood in front of Fade Chen. Seeing this, Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Horace Wan, saying, "What do you mean? You can't afford to lose, or do you want to break your promise?"
Horace Wan's face twitched and he said, "Am I a person who can't afford to lose? Since it's a bet, then I can definitely afford to lose."
"What does that mean? This is not an attitude of someone who can afford to lose." Fade Chen glanced at the thin man.
Horace Wan said in a low voice, "The Nine Star Plant has been cherished in our family for twenty years. It's my father's favourite item. It's not filial to lose my father's love. Therefore, I hope to replace it with other things."
Before Fade Chen could make a statement, Horace Wan clapped his hands and said to the thin man, "Uncle Bao, give him the stuff."
Uncle Bao took out a bank card from his arms and threw it at Fade Chen. "Here is 500,000 dollars. Take it."
Fade Chen's eyelids quivered. He reached out his hand and flicked the bank card back. At the same time, he said coldly, "The gambling contract says it's the Nine Star Plant, not 500,000 dollars."
At the same time, Tom Wei, who was standing beside Fade Chen, stood up with an angry face. He yelled at Horace Wan, "Horace, what do you mean? You said you would exchange the plant for other things, but in the end, you offer me five hundred thousand dollars. Am I looking like a beggar?"
"Also, Brother Fade wanted the Nine Star Plant in the first place. Let's talk about the market price of the Nine Star Plant. The most ordinary one on the market is worth more than ten million dollars. Now you want to replace it with 500,000 dollars. Do you think we're that stupid?" Tom Wei knew nothing much about herbs, but he specifically checked on the Nine Star Plant.
Before their angry eyes, Horace Wan smiled and said, "I've said that the Nine Star Plant is my father's favorite. It can't be given away so easily."
Fade Chen said coldly, "That's your business. The bet was for the Nine Star Plant. I want it."
"Really? Then it's not up to you." Horace Wan said, "I advise you to leave with the money. Mr. Chen. 500,000 dollars is not a small amount for a small employee like you." Obviously, after Horace Wan had left, he had investigated Fade Chen's background.
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Bao flicked his fingers and threw the bank card at Fade Chen. At the same time, he sneered and said, "If I were you, I would leave immediately with the money. Otherwise, you will get nothing at all. By then, it would be too late to regret."
Fade Chen's face turned cold. He struck again and tossed the bank card back. "I said that I only want the Nine Star Plant."
This time, Fade Chen used more strength than before. When the bank card flew back, Uncle Bao wanted to flick it back with his hand, but the bank card cut and left a bloody wound on his palm.
All of a sudden, a killing intent flashed through Uncle Bao's eyes, and his eyes became cold.
Horace Wan also snorted. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, you're embarrassing me!"
"I don't care." Fade Chen said coldly.
"Don't care!" Horace Wan shouted coldly, pounded the table and stood up, shouting, "In that case, you'll bring nothing away."
After that, Horace Wan waved his hand and wanted to leave with Uncle Bao.
"Horace, you..." Tom Wei was about to rush out.
However, at this moment, Fade Chen reached out and stopped him. "Let me do it!"
Then, Horace Wan felt his vision blur and a shadow came over. He saw Fade Chen appear in front of him with a cold face and stretched out his hand towards the wooden box in his hand. "How dare you!" Horace Wan shouted.
At the same time, Uncle Bao rushed to Fade Chen with murderous intent. "Boy, you are courting death!"
Fade Chen didn't say a word. He turned his palm slightly to meet Uncle Bao's fierce attack, ready to fight him head-on.
Seeing this, Horace Wan showed a sneer in his mouth and said, "Boy, what do you think your moves are? If you confront Uncle Bao head-on, you are looking for death."
Uncle Bao grinned smugly and said, "Boy, I'm not a junior. It's your most foolish choice to challenge me."
During the conversation, the momentum of Uncle Bao rose again, and his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring. The private room seemed to be filled with a murderous atmosphere.
"I've noticed that. No wonder you are so reckless and fearless." Fade Chen felt the momentum and said.
Hearing this, Uncle Bao was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that you could see my strength. You do have some skills. However, you still have to die."
"Boy, go to hell!" With a loud shout, Uncle Bao clawed at Fade Chen's heart with ferocious eyes.
