Egbert was the only person with a strange sullen look. He looked at Fade and he seemed to be angry.

"Let go of me!" Dacia struggled to get out from under Fade's foot, but Fade stepped on him again with a bit of force. Lying in the debris, blood was flowing from the corner of Dacia's mouth.

Dacia's expression was fierce and he refused to back down. Clenching his jaw, he said, "I must say you're quite strong, being number one on the Dragon List. But if you dare lay a finger on me, the Wushuang Tower will not let you get away with it."

"Won't let me get away with it?" Fade sneered and said, "Do you think that your Wushuang Tower will waste their energy on an outer disciple like you?"

"I..." Dacia looked stiff with his face contorted. He was indeed just an outer disciple, and not a priority to the clan.

At that moment, Fade glanced at the people in the hall and said coldly, "Besides, if I kill you now and then kill these eyewitnesses at the scene, do you think that Wushuang Tower will know about this?" Upon hearing it, Dacia and the Soo family shivered with fear.

Dacia was also very scared, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "You, you dare not kill me. Killing Wushuang Tower disciples is a huge crime. Besides, Callum is aware of me visiting the Soo family. If you kill me, he will definitely find out what happened. Then, you will all die."

His threat did not frighten Fade, but it terrorized everyone in the Soo family, especially Egbert. He looked at Fade with trembling lips and it seemed like he wanted to stop Fade from killing Dacia out of concern that it would endanger his family.

Fade looked at Egbert with a cold stare and said coldly, "No one can stop me from killing the person I wish to kill."

Egbert shuddered after hearing what Fade said. He was about to say something, but he was so scared that he did not dare to utter a word.

He now realized that the person in front of him was not a young junior but a martial arts master who had had many lives die at his hands.

Before that, he was able to command respect from Fade simply because of his identity as Momo's grandfather. However, since Momo had almost severed her relationship with him, Fade would definitely not tolerate his attitude again.

Thinking of this, Egbert felt a chill run down his spine. His fragile body trembled a few times and he almost fell to the ground.

At that moment, Fade shifted his gaze toward Dacia again. His cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, which made Dacia quiver.

However, Fade still did not kill him. Instead, he looked at Dacia and said coldly, "Tell them what really happened to the Wushuang Tower factotum disciples!"

Dacia was taken aback by his request. He pursed his lips, "Those are isolated cases. Don't even think that I would slander the Wushuang Tower. Besides, Callum will be looking for me soon since I'm not back yet."

Seeing how stubborn Dacia is, Fade shook his head. His face stoically cold as he said, "Even now, you still don't want to give up and continue to threaten me with the Wushuang Tower name."

"Do you really think that I would be afraid of your senior brother?" Fade said coldly.

Dacia's expression changed but he immediately said with firmness in his voice, "My senior brother is an internal disciple, an Earth-level master. His status and martial arts skills are greater than average. If you dare kill me, he won't let you get away this easily."

"Really?" Fade sneered. He then took out a delicate jade tablet and said, "What if I have this?

Will he still dare to kill me?"

Dacia and the Soo family turned their gaze towards the jade tablet in Fade's hand.

While the Soo family only felt that the jade tablet was exquisite, they did not think it special in any other way.

Dacia was shocked when he saw the jade tablet. "How is this possible? How could you have this jade tablet? Who on earth are you?" He exclaimed.

Fade did not respond. He just sneered and said, "Now, are you still reluctant to speak?"

Dacia's expression changed and he remained silent for a moment. He then nodded and said, "I, I will obey my senior brother's orders and speak up!"

"Senior brother?" When everyone in the Soo family heard him addressing Fade as a senior brother, they were puzzled.

Fade moved his feet away from Dacia. Dacia got up and explained to the Soo family, "That jade tablet is the nameplate of the personal disciple of Wushuang Tower. It represents the identity of Master Chen." The Soo family was shocked and looked at Fade with astonishment. They never expected that Fade would turn out to be a disciple of the Wushuang Tower, or the highest-ranking of personal disciple at that. "What, what the hell is going on?"

"Master Chen, you, your identity..."

"Is this true? Do you rank first on the Dragon List? And are you also the personal disciple of Wushuang Tower..."

Fade did not respond to their questions. He just put the jade tablet away and then said to Dacia coldly, "Speak now!"

Fade wasn't a disciple of the Wushuang Tower. The jade tablet belonged to his wife, Quin's mother, Chrystal. It was taken by Quin when she went to the Sun family of Dragonville to seek help.

After Fade convinced the Sun family, he helped them to search for his mother-in-law which is why he kept the jade tablet with him.

It was useful for him as he could use it whenever he met people from the Wushuang Tower.

Dacia was completely submissive to Fade. He bgan explaining the real situation of the factotum disciples in the Wushuang Tower. He also admitted that his so-called apprenticeship for his senior brother was a lie. It was an impromptu idea he had after getting captivated by Memo's beauty.

After hearing his explanation, all of Soo family

members' expressions changed.

Ernest and Momo's faces were full of anger. They glared fiercely at Dacia, wishing to eat him alive.

Somoset, Lyla, and the others did not dare to speak anymore. After all, they were the ones who were extremely supportive of Dacia earlier.

Egbert, who had been the most determined to trust Dacia, looked completely devastated. He sat slumped on the chair, looking to be in complete shock.

He never thought the opportunity which he fought for, and his hopes for the rise of the Soo family were all in vain. They were used by Dacia for his ill intentions. Dacia had no interest in helping the Soo family rise. He only came by as means to covet the beauty of his granddaughter.

To make matters worse, Egbert had rejected Fade who turned out to be the person whom he should have been leaving a good impression on.

Fade was ranked top on the Dragon List and was also a personal disciple of the Wushuang Tower. His status was even higher than Dacia's senior brother, Callum.

Even though a golden egg-like Fade had been right in front of him, Egbert had blindly and ignorantly treated him like rubbish. Instead, he sought out Dacia who was a pathetic phony.

It can be said that Egbert was penny wise and pound foolish; he spent his time winning the good grace of a phony, and losing the good grace of the real deal.
