Everyone on stage turned their heads to search for the voice.
Efrian narrowed his eyes when he spotted Fade approaching him. He exclaimed, "It's you!"
Bianca was very tense. She gestured to the bodyguards and instructed, "Hurry up, guards, kick him out of here!"
Immediately, Efrian explained to Connor, "Mr. Zu, just ignore this troublemaker. Let's continue."
However, Connor's eyes were fixated on Fade. He seemed to not hear what Efrian said.
Efrian frowned and sounded upset. "Mr. Zu, I don't have a lot of time, you..."
Before Efrian could finish, Connor's expression suddenly changed. Connor shouted at the bodyguards who were charging at Fade, "All of you, stop!"
A smile appeared on Connor's face and he approached Fade hurriedly. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here today?"
Fade and Connor headed onstage together and Fade replied flatly, "Did you receive the notice I asked Scott to issue yesterday?"
"Notice? What notice?" Connor was a little confused. He turned to look at his secretary with a puzzled look.
His secretary paused for a moment and replied, "Last night, we received a message. However, sir, you were already asleep, so we did not notify you about it. Moreover, since this morning, you were busy with the signing ceremony, thus we decided to show you the message later today."
"What? How could you do that? Mr. Chen's notice has the utmost priority. Hurry up, go..." Connor instructed hurriedly.
The secretary turned to head back to the office to get the notice swiftly.
However, Fade waved his hand and uttered, "It's just a brief notice. Don't bother to get it. I'll just tell you."
"Mr. Chen, go ahead!" Connor said respectfully.
Fade glanced at Efrian and answered, "The message is simple. I asked everyone to terminate any cooperation with Efrian and boycott him in Dragonville."
"This..." Connor was taken aback. He was not expecting that.
Fade lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling to do it?"
Connor shuddered and shook his head. He explained quickly, "No, I'll obey all your orders, Mr. Chen."
Connor turned to Efrian and concluded, "Mr. Tuan, I'm sorry. I'm cancelling our contract."
Initially, Efrian was skeptical about Connor's attitude. However, he was shocked when he heard Connor. He frowned and argued, "Mr. Zu, I signed the contract."
Bianca rushed over fiercely and shouted, "Mr. Zu, we agreed to sign this contract. You must know about Mr. Tuan's popularity by now. If you miss this opportunity, it would be harder for you to get Mr. Tuan to work with you in the future."
Connor was livid. It turned out that Efrian cut short the press conference because he was rushing for another event to get more money. Efrian had no morals and Connor regretted asking Efrian to endorse his brand.
He had no choice but to look for another ambassador. All the money he spent on Efrian would go down the drain.
Fade said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zu. I will make up for your losses."
Connor was overjoyed. Everyone knew how powerful Fade was in Dragonville. A tiny help from Fade was more than enough for Connor.
Connor suppressed his delight and kept his composure. "Mr. Chen, you're too nice. It's an honor to work for you. How could I ask for compensation?"
Fade waved his hand and replied placidly, "Just accept it. I won't take advantage of you."
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Chen." Connor was thrilled.
Meanwhile, Fade glanced at Efrian and Bianca, who were about to leave. He concluded, "I said that I'll have you boycotted in Dragonville. You'll not be receiving any collaboration offers after this."
"Boycott? Who do you think you are? You're just an owner of a small restaurant? You think you can do anything to me? I'm a celebrity..." Efrian scoffed arrogantly.
Suddenly, Bianca's mobile phone rang. She picked up the call and her face darkened. "Why..."
Before she could finish, the caller hung up the call.
