Harold paused for a moment and continued, "The reason why all the hidden families are relatively low-key and do not stir up trouble is because of the elder association." Fade paused at the mention of the elders association. "What about it?"

"Back then, the elder association had been formed by the hidden family. Each of the family would have a representative, and the main motive of this association was to mediate conflicts between the hidden family and the public," Harold explained.

"The duty of the elder association is similar to that of the UN. Even though it is reputable, it has its limitations. If the hidden families actually made a blunder and broke the rules, the only thing the elder association can do is scold them. They wouldn't actually issue any severe punishments."

"If this continues, the elder association would only be a game for the reputable hidden families. All the other lower ranking families would have no say in this anymore."

"However, eight years ago, several Heaven Level martial artists and some members of the officials rebuilt the association, and it is now strong and mighty. They have the power to punish whoever breaks the rules. Initially, they were just a reputable association, but now, they really have the power to make sure the hidden families are in control."

"After the reorganization, they are still responsible for managing the hidden families, but the difference now is that there is a new position of the chairman in the association. The chairman had tremendous power over the association and all the decisions have to be approved by him. He is also in charge of the affairs of the elder association."

"Therefore, amongst the hidden families, there is a saying that the one with the greatest authority among them isn't the head of the various first-rate clans, but the head of the elder association. The head of the association is in control of the resources and rules of the entire hidden families through the elder association. It is not unreasonable to claim that he is the one with real power."

"But now, they are going to change another chairman, and the Lin family is particularly interested in this. That is why the Lin family has been overly active for the past few months, because they are trying to be elected as the next chairman."

"Furthermore, according to some rumors, this election is supported by Heaven Level members, and the elder association will once again become stronger. Some say that the entire hidden family will gather together and eventually become a huge and unrivaled force. Some even say that this new force is aiming to be the next Heaven Level force. They wanted to be the fifth Heaven Level force apart from the Tianwu Clan, Lindsay Hall, Juetong Temple and the Wushuang Tower.

Upon hearing this, even Fade was surprised.

There was no doubt that the four Heaven Level forces were the top martial arts forces in the country. For hundreds of years, many things had changed, and things had come and gone. However, the four Heaven Level forces remained unmoved. They had stood proudly at the very peak, and they were the symbols of the country's finest martial arts.

Now, the elder association wanted to integrate the hidden families into the fifth Heaven Level force and change history? Fade was slightly taken aback by this thought. However, he did not know much of the details, thus he couldn't comment on anything.

Later, he asked some more questions about the hidden family and the Lin family, but Harold didn't know much, and couldn't give him any more answers.

So in the end, Fade handed Harold back to Moore. Moore's face was solemn and merciless. He finished Harold off in an instant.

The moment that Harold died, Moore let out a long sigh. His whole body relaxed, and he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

At this very moment, all the grudges had finally come to an end.

He was finally freed from the shackles.

Meanwhile, Moore had a weird and indescribable feeling in his heart. It was as if there was something else.

When he saw this, Fade suggested, "Master Chen, it's getting late. Let's go back!"

Moore nodded. He stood up and left with Fade.

Soon, the two of them came to the small city outside the forest. They rested there for the night.

Moore couldn't wait to ask Fade about his daughter, but it didn't seem like Fade was in a hurry to explain. Instead, he called Joey, told her about what had happened here, and asked her about her opinion. Joey was puzzled when she learned what had happened. In the end, she decided to take a trip and meet Moore in person.

Undoubtedly, it was best if they could meet face to face. Hence, Fade hung up the phone and told Moore about the news. Moore was both excited and anxious, and there was a hint of nervousness in his tone.

They couldn't sleep at all. The next morning, the two of them rushed to continue their journey again. They were going to Long City of Zobery District, because that was the only place that accommodated the planes from Capital City. For convenience's sake, the both of them agreed to meet up in Long City. There was no doubt that it was the best choice.

At noon, Fade and Moore arrived in Long City and booked a five-star hotel. They stayed in the hotel and waited for Joey.

Moore, who was slightly bashful before, even looked for a stylist and fixed his hairstyle. Then, he changed into a suit, and he looked like a whole new person. Fade was a little dumbfounded.

Previously, Moore had given off the impression of an old man who was setting up a stall on the streets; but at that moment, he gave off the impression of a successful middle-aged man. He was tall and upright, with handsome features and a strong aura that was unique to martial artists.

When he walked out of the dressing room, even the receptionist of the front desk couldn't take her eyes off of him.

Seeing this, Fade could not help but sigh. Indeed, no matter how old you were or what gender you were, a good-looking face was everything.

Of course, Moore's appearance was within Fade's expectations. After all, he was the man who had won over Daisy of the Luo family. It was normal for him to have an outstanding appearance.

As for Moore, after many years of keeping a low profile and hiding, at this moment, he had such a high profile that it made him feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Joey was about to arrive. The excitement of meeting his daughter had overwhelmed his anxiousness, and he had totally forgotten about it. He was just staring at his watch, as he waited for her to arrive.
