However, she suddenly felt a large hand grab onto her right leg, and a burst of energy pulled her back. She landed on the ground with a thud.
Her back was pressed against a rock, and the pain from the rupture of her skin made her come to her senses from her daze.
Kelly opened her eyes and found that she was not dead. When she looked up, she realized that it was Fade.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as she thought of something.
He deliberately saved her to take advantage of her. "No, I can't let that happen."
As she thought of this, she panicked. She closed her mouth and was prepared to bite down on her tongue to end her life.
Just then, he pinched her chin and stated coldly, "You don't have to kill yourself. The training is over."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" She asked in confusion.
He helped her up as he replied, "What I mean is, everything that happened just now was a special training for you." "Well, I..." She gradually understood what was going on. She looked at him and her expression changed. "So, Mr. Chen, did you deliberately pretend to do that just now? Did you try to test me by attacking me?"
"It wasn't just a test. It was to force you into a desperate situation, to stimulate your survival instincts, so that you can display your most powerful combat ability," he answered.
The image of Fade wearing a devious grin on his face appeared in her mind as she glanced at the man who was smiling gently before her. She couldn't piece the two together.
The current Fade and just now, which one was his true self?
If he had been acting just now, it was too real. "Maybe Mr. Chen really does have those thoughts towards me..." she thought to herself.
As Fade glanced at her expression, he felt puzzled. "What is this little brat thinking about! Why do I feel that she's looking at me weirdly?"
"Ahem, it's getting late. Let's head down the mountain!" He cleared his throat as he spoke to her.
She didn't come to her senses until she heard his voice. She quickly caught up with his pace and walked with him.
However, as soon as she moved, she screamed in pain and her body almost collapsed to the ground. She did not care about her injuries when she was fighting for her life earlier. However, now that she had relaxed herself, she felt that her body was about to collapse.
Fade turned around at her scream, and noticed that her complexion was terrible.
He then walked over to her and leaned down, stretching his arms out to her.
She paused in shock as she asked, "W-What are you trying to do?"
He took her into his arms before he started walking forward. "You're injured. It's not convenient for you to move. I'll carry you down."
"I- That's not necessary, I- I..." As she felt the warmth emanating from his chest, she blushed and her limbs grew weak.
She couldn't imagine that he was the same person who had just attacked her.
He felt proud of her, and trained her very seriously.
On this day, Fade had just finished training Joey. He laid back on the sofa and was ready to take a rest.
However, he suddenly received a call. "President Chen, something happened to Boss Wei."
Hearing this, Fade instantly jumped up from the sofa with a grim expression on his face. "What's the matter? What happened to Lily?"
All of a sudden, many opponents appeared in Fade's mind, and his gaze turned cold. Bannon, the Long family, the Skull Mob, or the others...
As he was thinking, the reply came quickly, "President Chen, there was a problem with Fei Shipping Company. Boss Wei went to negotiate with the other party, and there was a conflict."
"A problem with Fei Shipping Company!" Fade paused, then he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a business conflict, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Then, he quickly asked, "Where is she? I'll be right there."
When he got the address, he immediately rushed over.
Half an hour later, he arrived at a firm. Looking at the "Tuan Engineering" written on the sign at the entrance of the company, he could not help but frown, and thought of something in his heart, "Tuan Engineering! It's owned by the extended family of the Long family, Judy, who was Tarlo's fiancee. Since when did Fei Shipping Company have business transactions with the Tuan family?" Confused as he was, he did not waste any time. He stepped into Tuan Engineering's building.
Under the guidance of the receptionist, Fade came to the reception room on the third floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Lily, who was sitting on the sofa with a grim expression. Seated opposite her was a middle- aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked at her with disdain.
