Lucille pouted in dissatisfaction when she heard what Hollace said, but she dared not say anything else. After all, she had witnessed how powerful Fade was in the parking lot, and she knew very clearly she could not fight him.

Then, Fade got up and said, "If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving. You should return as well."

With that, Fade went out of the cafe.

Hollace and Lucille were stunned. They never expected Fade to be so decisive. There was no hint of hesitance in his face.

As Hollace watched Fade walking out, a realization suddenly dawned on him. He shouted, "Mr Chen, there is something else that I wanted to remind you!"

However, Lucille interrupted and hissed angrily, "Hollace, don't tell him. We came all the way to bring him this piece of good news. But, look at the way he treats us. Let him be!"

Hollace had already lost his chance since Fade was already far away. He let out a sigh and decided to let it pass.

He mused under his breath, "Let's hope that you will be more careful, Mr. Chen. After all, you now have a target on your back since you're at the top of the Martial Dragon List. I am afraid you will get into trouble very soon."

"Hmph, didn't he say that he is very skillful? If anything happens, he should be able to handle it on his own," Lucille remarked sarcastically.

Hollace exhaled deeply. "If that's the case, then we are done here. Let's go back!"

Lucille pursed her lips when she heard that. "Hollace, we have just arrived in Jade City. Why are we going back so soon?"

"We've done what needed to, and our master is..."

Lucille immediately shook Hollace's arm and pleaded, "Hollace, since we're already here, can't you just bring me around? It's Jade City!" She pouted her lips like a spoiled, pampered princess.

"I want to visit Disneyland, Victoria Harbor, and many other places. Please bring me there!"

Hollace could only nod his head and said, "Okay, okay. Let's stay for two more days and enjoy ourselves in Jade City before we head back."

"Yeah! You are the best!" She hugged Hollace's arm in excitement.

Fade left the cafe and returned to the hotel.

Quin quickly got up and walked towards Fade when she saw him entering the room. "You're back! Are you okay? What about those two fellas?" Fade saw how anxious Quin was. He couldn't help but feel touched. He answered with a smile, "Don't worry, honey. I'm fine. They came in peace and wanted to convey a message."

Fade briefly explained what happened to Quin. Although Quin could not fully understand, she was relieved knowing that Fade was all right.

The next day, the employees began to take their holidays for the new year, especially for those who were transferred from Dragonville. They had been busy for several months; they took this much-deserved break to spend time with their families.

Quin and Fade also planned to return to Dragonville after they wrapped up all the loose ends in Jade City.

At this moment, Momo pleaded with Fade, "Fade, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter, Momo?" Fade asked.

After moments of hesitation, Momo grabbed the hem of her clothes and told him, "Fade, I would like you to head back to South Bay City with me for the New Year."

"Huh? But..." Fade was taken aback at what Momo just asked. Quin was literally next to him!

Then, Momo saw what a difficult position she placed Fade in and quickly explained, "I didn't mean that. Actually, the Soo family is holding an annual banquet for the New Year."

"Well, as you know, my family has arranged for me to be engaged to Hector from the Yao family. The Yao family will probably come to propose at the annual banquet. I don't intend to say yes, so I am hoping you could come with me."

Her shoulders slumped as she added, "After all when we were in Bay City, you pretended to be my boyfriend in front of my aunt. So, this time, I think..." Momo was beseeching Fade.

Fade was in a dilemma. Well, it was definitely acceptable for him to pretend to be her boyfriend under normal circumstances. However, going back with her and especially during New Year was a totally differen story. "Hmm, your sister..."

Momo interjected hastily, "Fade, I'll handle Quin as long as you agree to it."

"Still, I don't think it's a good idea!" Fade felt torn.

Momo pouted angrily. "Fade, you have promised me that you will offer help when I need it. It's the first thing I asked for and you're already breaking your promise. Hmph, I'm going to show Quin those photos." When Fade heard that, he could only nod his head. "Well, I can agree to it. However, you'll need

to get your sister's approval first."

Tittering, Momo nodded and said, "Great. I'll discuss it with her now."

Then, Momo went to Quin's room. Fade wasn't sure of how the conversation went. About ten minutes later, they walked out of the room together.

Momo said gleefully, "Fade, Quin has agreed. You're following me back to South Bay City!"

"Well..." Fade looked at Quin in surprise.

Quin glanced at Fade and stated calmly, "Momo told me everything. I understand that you are just trying to help her. You will follow Momo back while I'll head back to Dragonville with Lily."

Quin looked rather composed; she even gave a faint smile to Fade.

However, Fade could tell that Quin was distancing herself from him. A pang of pain coursed through his vein at that moment.

Disappointed, he nodded and looked at her while promising, "I will head back immediately once Momo has managed to turn that boy down. I will try to get back to you before New Year Eve so we can celebrate it together." "Okay," Quin responded calmly, nothing else.

"By the way, it's late. You guys should rest. You still need to pack before leaving tomorrow." With that, Quin headed back to the room.

Fade felt something was wrong with Quin but he couldn't place his finger on it.

Fade sighed and went to rest after washing up.
