Chapter 2809
It wasn't until Fade pushed the door open and saw that there were definitely more than five hundred people in it, did he know how many things Galeno had shouldered for him during this period.
"Thank you, Master Zhu," Fade said to Galeno with sincerity.
Galeno gave him a blank look and said, "Now, you finally know how hard it is for me. Stop talking nonsense. Everyone is waiting for you. Go on the stage and say a few words."
"What do I say?" Fade was confused.
Galeno replied, "Anything is fine. You can talk about the adventures in Prohibition Island, all kinds of cultivation experience, encounters in the Ice- sealed Realm, and even romantic encounters."
"In any case, most of the people here are after you. It doesn't matter what you say."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"Master Zhu, I didn't have any romantic encounters," Fade explained to him.
Galeno gave him a blank look and said, "Don't pretend in front of me. Everyone knows that you have many women around you!"
"Master Zhu, I..." Fade still wanted to explain.
However, Galeno pushed him in and said, "Well, don't dawdle. Go ahead!"
As soon as they entered the room, everyone's eyes immediately fell on them, and a burst of warm applause sounded.
Fade stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face.
Then, he told them about his experience in the Ice-sealed Realm and Prohibition Island. He also told them some things to take note of. In a way, he was giving them a lesson so that they wouldn't get into trouble when they entered in later days.
Most of the people present were either rich or noble, and they all knew about the Ice-sealed Realm and Prohibition Island. However, few people had experienced it in person like Fade.
Therefore, although his explanation was basic information for those who had been there, it was quite novel for those who were present. Everyone listened with great interest.
After telling some wonderful anecdotes, many people asked Fade about martial arts cultivation.
He didn't hide anything and answered one by one.
Just like that, his speech lasted nearly three hours. Finally, Galeno entered and ended it.
"It's finally over," Fade said with a sigh.
Unexpectedly, Galeno glared at him and said, "Take a break. There will be another round later."
"What? There is a second round? Master Zhu, why didn't you mention this earlier?" Fade's expression was full of surprise.
Galeno held him down and explained, "Don't worry, the second round is different from the first."
"Although the people who came in the first round are rich and powerful, they are just ordinary. Their main intention was to see the famous Master Chen."
"The people in the second round are different. They are all the real top players. There are less than twenty of them. They want to talk to you, to make friends with you, or to work together."
"Work together. What can we work together on?" Fade muttered.
Galeno said, "There are many aspects that they can work on with you, such as the development and production of elixirs, the teaching of martial arts, the cultivation of herbs, and even endorsing you."
"What?" Fade's eyes widened in disbelief.
Galeno waved his hand and said,
"Don't be surprised. Look at the era now. Even the old fashioned should embrace modernization. They should keep pace with the times and strengthen themselves by modern
means." "Therefore, start modern
factories, starting companies, and training are nothing new. Go and talk to them!"
Fade said, "I have no experience with these
things."
"The more you expose yourself to it, the more experience you will gain," Galeno advised.
After resting for a while, Fade went to the second meeting room.
There were only 17 people present, and Galeno introduced them to Fade one by one.
There were four hidden elders from Heaven Level clans, ancient families that had existed for thousands of years, and various ancient sects.
Compared to those people from before, the people here were the real tycoons.
After a brief greeting and introduction, they started to talk about working together.
As expected, some invited Fade to open a factory, some companies, and others invited him to endorse products.
Fade wasn't very interested in these things. He wanted to refuse right away, but for Galeno's sake, he delayed the time and said he would consider it.
The other party also knew that at Fade's level, he couldn't just rush to agree after talking about it once.
After the meeting, Fade breathed out a silent sigh of relief and was ready to leave.
However, at this time, a middle-aged
man in his fifties, dressed in a star- dotted robe, approached Fade and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you really won't consider my proposal?" Fade paused and looked at the man in front of him. He remembered who he was.
This was the current guardian of the Optimus Clan, Glover.
The Optimus Clan was an ancient clan. Legend had it that it originated from the Purple Star Six Scripture. They were proficient in all kinds of scriptures and Yin-Yang talisman arts. They were good at calculating fate, which was very abstruse.
Prior to this, the Optimus Clan had gone into seclusion. It was similar to the Final Sword Manor that Fade encountered in the Ice-sealed Realm. However, recently, the Optimus Clan had actively entered the secular world and using the thousands of years' worth of goods they had accumulated, they rapidly developed in modern society and grew in momentum. Their strength was also very good.
Clans like the Final Sword Manor remained conservative and refused to enter the secular world. In the eyes of the Optimus Clan, they seemed too stubborn and conservative.
Previously, at the meeting, Glover had brought up working with Fade many times, but the latter wasn't interested in it, so they were all delayed. However, Fade didn't expect that Glover would come to him again after the meeting.
After all, his opponent's heritage was ancient. Furthermore, he was rather strong. He still had to give face.
Thus, Fade smiled and said to Glover, "I don't know much about this, so I need to think more about it."
As for Fade's excuse, Glover obviously understood what he meant and persuaded, "Mr. Chen, as I mentioned, working together to open a martial arts center can be said to have infinite benefits!"
"Mr. Chen, you must have noticed that this has become an inevitable trend in recent days."
"A few years ago, since the Martial Arts Clans entered the secular world, martial arts has become even more popular in the country and the whole world. More and more people have signed up for martial arts."
"In addition, Mr. Chen, you fought two foreign martial artists a year ago, which caused an increase in the trend of martial arts, making more people in the society look forward to practicing martial arts."
"As such, it's a good decision to open a martial arts center, teach martial arts, and expand the martial arts heritage."
