"So what if it's me?" Fade continued as if he didn't care about it.

Lester's gazed turned cold. He stared at Fade and said in a low voice, "If so, I will let you die with the Hsia family."

After that, Lester gave a cold snort and left.

Chelsea looked at Fade and explained, "Fallon, Lester's distant uncle, is from the Hsia family." Then, he followed Lester and walked away with him.

After hearing this, Fade suddenly realized something.

Lester was being hostile because he was a relative of the Hsia family. As for Chelsea's attitude towards him, it was obviously because he wanted to flatter Lester.

Just as Fade frowned slightly and looked at the direction in which Lester and Chelsea left, Laney came back and said, "Mr. Chen, Baldrick is free now. I'll take you in." Fade then nodded and stood up. He was about to follow Laney to Baldrick's office.

When Laney noticed him glancing in another direction, she couldn't help but ask, "Did anything happen just now? By the way, where is Chelsea?"

Fade replied, "It's nothing! Chelsea talked to me with a captain whose surname was Zhang just now."

After Laney heard his words, she was taken aback. "It's Lester. Did he trouble you? Oh, Chelsea!"

She looked angry and agitated, but there were also a few traces of worry on her face.

Fade asked blandly, "Is Lester very strong?"

Laney nodded solemnly as she replied, "Lester is the leader of the Fire Squad of the Five Elements Squad from the Stealth Team Headquarters. He's very powerful." "The Five Elements Squad?" When he heard this unfamiliar term, Fade's curiosity was piqued.

"The Five Elements Squad consists of five special operational teams established by our Stealth Team Headquarters in accordance with specific categories and styles that correspond to the five elements. They are respectively named Gold Squad, Wood Squad, Water Squad, Fire Squad and Earth Squad."

"The Five Elements Squad selected the elite members of the Stealth Team. Their main purpose is to solve special cases and tasks that the ordinary Stealth Team members can't solve. Technically, they are the special forces of the Stealth Team and they are the elite members."

"Lester is the captain of the Fire Squad and his strength has reached the middle stage of the Earth Level. He is very powerful. Chelsea is also a member of the Fire Squad, so he is Lester's subordinate. I am a member of the Water Squad."

In contrast to Laney's grim expression, Fade remained calm. After listening to her explanation, he nodded. "Oh, I see."

When she saw this, she felt a little anxious for Fade. She couldn't help but suggest, "You should explain to Baldrick and ask him to help you. Maybe we can resolve the problems between both you and Lester. After all, Baldrick values you very much. He specifically..."

Before Laney could finish, the both of them had already arrived at Baldrick's office.

"We're here!"

"I won't see you in. You may go in by yourself. Be nice and ask Baldrick for mercy..."

As he glanced at her worried expression, Fade felt grateful. He nodded to her, smiled gently and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Then, he looked at the nameplate of "Vice Officer" above the door, and was about to knock.

However, before Fade could move, the door creaked open and a figure appeared in front of Fade.

He was a man in his 60s. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a burly body. At first glance, he gave people a sense of righteousness. "Baldrick, I..." Fade was about to speak.

Baldrick suddenly grinned and showed a bright smile. He greeted Fade warmly, "You are Fade, aren't you? Come on in."

"Well..." He had never met Baldrick before and was a little surprised at his enthusiasm. However, he still entered the office.

"Fade, sit down. What do you want? I have tea, coffee and hot water." Baldrick invited Fade to sit on the sofa and then began to personally prepare drinks for him. Such enthusiasm made Fade feel even more puzzled. "No, Baldrick, I..."

"Fade, you're welcome here. Have some tea!" Baldrick brought a cup of hot tea and sat down opposite Fade with a smile.

Fade took a sip of tea, fell silent for a moment, and then asked, "Baldrick, why did you ask me to come here this time?"

Baldrick's face fell slightly, but he quickly waved it off as he answered, "Actually, there is nothing serious. I just wanted to talk to you."

"Uh..." This response made Fade feel even more bewildered. After a pause, he continued, "Baldrick, I am willing to take responsibility for the Hsia family's destruction."

"No matter how the Stealth Team will punish me, I will accept it."

However, after hearing this, Baldrick waved his hand repeatedly and said, "It's not a big deal. Besides, we have investigated the situation. It was the Hsia family who attacked you first. You were just defending yourself. We, the Stealth Team, are not a rigid organization. We understand the circumstances at that time."

"Besides, you're one of the only Special Instructors in our Stealth Team. I'll be the first to disagree if anyone wants to penalize you." Baldrick looked determined.

"Well..." Fade felt really surprised and curious at the same time. Since Baldrick did not want to punish him for the matter related to the Hsia family, why on earth did he ask for him?

Baldrick also noticed Fade's doubts. After a pause, he looked at him awkwardly and said, "Fade, in fact, I ask you to come here this time because I want you to be the instructor for our Stealth Team and train our Five Elements Squad."

"By the way, you don't know the Five Elements Squad yet, do you? Let me explain it to you. In fact..."

"Baldrick, that's not necessary. Laney has explained it to me just now. She also told me about the members of the Five Elements Squad."

"Ah..." Baldrick paused. "Laney indeed pays attention to small details. She has done everything in advance. Not bad."

"Fade, so, are you willing to be the instructor?" Baldrick looked at him expectantly.

Fade frowned slightly, and immediately said, "Baldrick, the Stealth Team is so huge, and there are many talents and experts. If you want to train a squad, you don't need me!"
