Now, on such an occasion, he had to apologize to Fade, such an obscure person, in front of tens to hundreds of thousands of people?
If he really did this, he would lose others' respect and he might not even be able to continue his career anymore.
Thinking of this, Bennett said to Clara, "Miss Moo, the leader of the Moo family and I know each other, so we can be considered friends. I did make a mistake in this matter, and I will compensate you later. But now, it's late, let's head to the central island first!"
He was deliberately trying to stall for time, gradually changing the topic.
But then, a deep voice sounded, which completely dispelled Bennett from his delusions.
"We are friends? Why am I unaware of this?"
After that, a man in his late forties walked towards them and stared at Bennett with a stern look on his face.
When Bennett saw the man, his face froze instantly. "Head, Head of the Moo family. Why, why are you here? I, I..."
"Seems like someone was deliberately trying to claim that he is my friend to take action against my true friends. How can I sit around and do nothing?" Taufeeq asked in a low voice.
That kind of pressure from a powerful martial artist instantly made Bennett sweat profusely, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Pollard immediately understood the deeper meaning of his words. "True friends, doesn't that mean..."
As Pollard shifted his gaze to look at Fade, Taufeeq and Clara started walking towards Fade.
Clara jumped over, smiling gleefully and approached Fade. "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. I'm late and you've been wronged."
Then, Taufeeq also walked over and bowed slightly. He took the initiative to greet Fade, "Mr. Chen, you're here."
Fade shook Taufeeq's hand and said lightly, "Mr. Moo, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Fade."
Taufeeq nodded and then turned to Moore and Joey, greeting them as well.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they were absolutely taken aback. It was already shocking enough that Fade was friends with Taufeeq, but now it seemed that Taufeeq really respected
Fade.
This made everyone dumbfounded as they began secretly guessing Fade's identity and background.
Meanwhile, Bennett and Pollard, who were on the other side, were dumbstruck by what they saw. They were so shocked that they were frozen in place, not able to move a single inch.
"Fade, what's going on?" After greeting him, Taufeeq pointed to Bennett and asked.
Fade answered faintly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that we had some conflict with them two days ago. They tried to suppress others with their power and wanted to commit misdeeds, thus I taught them a lesson and now they are back for revenge."
"What!" Taufeeq's face darkened immediately as he continued in a deep voice, "Bennett Xu, it's time for someone else to be the director of the museum."
Hearing this, Bennett couldn't help it anymore. His legs went weak and he dropped to the ground as if his legs turned to mud. "Master Taufeeq, I know I was wrong. No, don't..."
Taufeeq strode in. A middle-aged man stood up and walked up to him with a smile. "Taufeeq, you're finally back." "Salman, I'm truly sorry for keeping you waiting. My apologies." Taufeeq's attitude was quite humble in front of Salman.
"We're all brothers, Taufeeq. Why are you apologizing? That's too excessive," Salman said forthrightly. He then glanced at Fade and the others behind Taufeeq. He was judging them as he asked, "Are these the honored guests you personally went to welcome in?"
Taufeeq nodded, then smiled and introduced, "Salman, this is Mr. Fade Chen, whom I've mentioned to you before. He's not only an honored guest, but he is also my lifesaver."
"So he is Mr. Chen." Salman looked over at him, and he was not very enthusiastic.
Concurrently, Taufeeq introduced Salman to Fade and said, "This is Salman Zheng, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Southern District, as well as a committee member of the political consultative conference for industry and commerce. He is a big shot."
"Taufeeq, you're exaggerating. I am just a president. How can I be counted as a big shot?" Salman said modestly, but his expression showed that he was still very proud.
Meanwhile, a young man who seemed to be in his late twenties called out to Salman, "Dad", before striding towards them.
Seeing this, Taufeeq immediately introduced him, "This is Keith Zheng, also known as Young Master Zheng, Salman's son. He's young and promising!"
Fade turned over and saw him. He slightly squinted his eyes. This Young Master Zheng was the one he met two days ago in the hotel where he bumped into Clara.
Back then, Keith didn't have a great attitude towards him.
As expected, when Keith saw that it was Fade, his eyes suddenly turned cold and a look of displeasure and disdain flashed across his face.
