Following Sandra's voice, a young man who looked like he was in his early twenties walked over. The man was tall and strong, and his muscles were clearly defined. It was obvious that he had trained with a lot of effort.
After the man came over, he took the initiative to greet Gentro. "Gentro, you're here."
Gentro gently nodded, and was about to introduce him to Fade and Joey.
However, Sandra spoke first and introduced the two of them to the man, "Sinclair, these are my cousin's friends. This is Fade, and this is Joey."
Sandra emphasized their names. Then, the man seemed to understand something. He turned to the two and smiled at them.
"Hello, my name is Sinclair. I'm from the Tan family. I'm Sandra's boyfriend." While speaking, Sinclair smiled and extended his right hand to Fade.
Gentro then turned to Fade and said, "The Tan family is a family of martial artists in Capital City. They have established themselves here for more than 60 years."
Fade knew what Gentro meant. He wanted him to make some friends.
Since he was showing kindness, Fade also held out his hand and was ready to shake hands with Sinclair.
However, right at the moment that they held each other's right hand, Sinclair's expression changed. He suddenly exerted force through his right hand and pressed down hard on Fade's hand.
He was a practitioner of martial arts and his strength was remarkable. He had reached the initial stage of the Black Level. Under such circumstances, if an ordinary person had been caught off guard, it was very likely that their palm would've been crushed.
Noticing Sinclair's sudden actions, Gentro was taken aback. He frowned and snapped, "Sinclair, what are you doing? Mr. Chen is my friend!"
Sinclair laughed as he replied, "Gentro, I'm just saying hello to my new friend. It's just a joke. Why are you being so nervous?"
"Sinclair, you..." Gentro frowned.
At this moment, Fade knew that his opponent was up to something, so he immediately stopped being polite. He exerted force with his right hand, but his expression was as calm as usual and he even smiled warmly. "Hello, I am Fade." "Huh, he wants to compete with me in terms of strength. He's digging his own grave..." Sinclair felt Fade's strength and he immediately sneered to himself. He then continued to increase his strength, wanting to teach Fade a lesson.
However, before Sinclair could release his full strength, he immediately felt that Fade's palm was like steel. No matter how much strength he exerted, he was unable to press down on his palm at all.
On the contrary, it was Sinclair's own palm that had been pressed down bit by bit by Fade's right hand. He felt that his bone seemed to be cracking slowly.
"You..." Sinclair was shocked. He gritted his teeth as he tried to resist, but it was useless. On the contrary, he was faced with even greater force and pain.
Sinclair couldn't bear the pain anymore as he wailed, "It hurts! It hurts! Let me go! Let me go!"
Fade loosened his right hand slowly. Sinclair took a few steps back and rubbed his red right hand. He stared at Fade as he gnashed his teeth. "How dare you do this to me? I'm going to kill..."
Before he could finish his words, Gentro roared in a low voice, "Sinclair, be careful. Mr. Chen is my friend." "I..." Sinclair wanted to say something, but Sandra tugged at his arm and gave him a look. This calmed Sinclair down. Without further ado, he followed Sandra to the side.
"No, of course not. I was just asking." He shook his head and suppressed the doubts in his heart. He was going to ask her what was really going on after they returned home. Joey seemed to have changed. She was somewhat unlike how she used to be.
After that, the two of them started eating together.
Just as both of them were eating, a sneer sounded in front of them. "The poor really are the poor. They haven't eaten anything good. Look at how they eat! It's so funny!"
When they heard the voice, Fade and Joey looked up and saw Sandra standing in front of them with her arms crossed. She looked at them with a mocking gaze.
Sinclair stood beside Sandra and wore a resentful expression on his face as he glared fiercely at Fade.
"Do you usually talk this much sh*t at home too?" Fade questioned coldly with a frown.
"You..." Hearing this, Sandra frowned and glared at Fade. Then, she swiftly turned to Joey and stated, "Audrea, it's her. She's the woman who keeps pestering my cousin."
Following Sandra's voice, a woman with long, shoulder- length hair and dressed in an elegant dress walked over. However, the woman stared at Joey with a fierce gaze. It was a stark contrast from her gentle and refined appearance.
The woman stepped in front of Joey and sized her up condescendingly. Then, she said coldly, "From now on, you'd better leave Gentro immediately. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you."
"Uh... I..." Joey was confused. She didn't know what to reply.
