Harmon nodded and smiled. "Fade, I'll take you to meet the elders of the Hsing family later so that everyone can get to know each other. After that, we'll rest at the Hsing family manor tonight."

"Uncle Sander will be here soon," Fade said.

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at the manor's entrance. After Harmon showed his identification, the guards at the entrance immediately opened the door and let them in.

Upon entering the estate, Fade could feel the dense aura of positive energy within, as well as all sorts of exquisite garden styles and decorations. To be able to create such an exquisite garden in the remote northwest forest, he could not imagine just how much resources were spent on it.

As for the entire hidden family's valley, how much effort did it take to build?

"Mr. Harmon, Mr. Romeo, you're back," the servant welcomed them respectfully.

Harmon nodded. Immediately after, he said. "Go and prepare the guest room. We have brought a guest over and he is going to stay with us here." "Yes," the servant responded, but he didn't leave. He continued to stand in front of the three people.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Harmon asked.

The servant said, "Mr. Harmon, Mr. Romeo. Old Master knows that you're back, so he asked you to go to the living room to see him."

"Grandpa knows that I've returned," Harmon was slightly surprised. Immediately after, he said. "Let's go back and change our clothes. After that, we'll go and see him."

However, the servant said, "The Old Master is waiting in the living room. He said that as soon as you're back, you should go and see him immediately."

"It's that urgent?" Harmon was surprised. However, he immediately looked to Fade and said, "Fade, why don't we first go and see Old Master, then go and rest?"

He nodded and said, "It's only right to visit Shergius Hsing."

Then, the three of them walked towards the living room of the manor together.

As soon as they entered the living room, Fade saw a lot of people sitting inside. As they entered, their eyes looked over at the same time. Fade, an outsider, undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.

When Harmon and Romeo saw that the living room was filled with people, their faces were also filled with shock. It was evident that they were not expecting the family to pay so much attention to their return. Almost all of the family members were in the living room.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Harmon and Romeo both clasped their hands and bowed to an old man sitting in the main hall.

The old man smiled and said, "You've worked hard. It's good that you're back. Get up!"

The two of them immediately got up. Harmon pointed at Fade and introduced him. "Dad, this time around, we brought a friend back with us. This is Fade Chen, a friend we met in Capital City." Romeo added with a smile on his face, "Grandpa, Fade is very powerful."

Hearing this, the old man looked at Fade. His face, which had been full of smiles, suddenly sank, and he looked at him seriously.

Fade was slightly surprised, but he still cupped his hands and greeted, "I'm Fade. Nice to meet you, Master Hsing."

"Mm!" Shergius let out a grunt, which could be considered a reply. He did not have much of a reaction.

As for the other members of the Hsing family, their reaction had become even colder. They did not offer the slightest bit of hospitality.

It was something that Harmon and Romeo did not expect. Their expressions changed.

Harmon seemed to have thought of something. He said. "Dad, we and Mr. Chen have just arrived. We are all worn-out and tired. How about we go and wash up first, then we can gather with everyone." Romeo added, "Grandpa, it's a few days until the election. Within these few days, Fade will stay with us. Everyone can properly get to know each other."

After that, the two of them led Fade out of the living room.

However, right at this moment, a voice said, "Romeo, from what you're saying, this friend of yours is going to stay with the Hsing family."

Upon hearing the voice, Romeo and Fade turned their heads and looked over at the same time. The speaker was a man in his thirties. The man looked at Fade like he was sizing him up.

Such an expression made Fade frown slightly.

Romeo told him in a low voice, "That's Jones, the son of my uncle, Lanzo. He's also from the main line of the Hsing family. His status is rather high."

Fade immediately understood Jones' status.

Romeo responded, "Jones, Fade is my friend, a friend of my family. There should be no problem with him staying for a few days."

Jones lightly harrumphed and said, "If he's really a friend, the Hsing family would naturally welcome him warmly. Staying for a few days isn't a problem at all. It's just that, not simply anyone can be treated as the Hsing family's friend."

Hearing this, Romeo raised his eyebrows. He looked at Jones and said sharply, "Jones, what do you mean by this? Fade is a good friend of mine and my father. Are you driving us away?"

"Romeo, I didn't say that. Why are you so agitated?" Jones retorted.

"Look at the way you're treating my friend. Jones, tell me clearly, what exactly do you mean? What are you trying to do?" Romeo glared at him and said sternly.

Jones' eyes flashed with anger, and he almost couldn't help but fight. His father, Lanzo, held him down and said, "Romeo, Jones also has good intentions."

"Good intentions? I want to know what kind of good intentions he has. He is purposely making things difficult for my friend. What kind of good intention is this?" Romeo's face was full of dissatisfaction. Lanzo narrowed his eyes. He then said in a low voice. "Romeo, Jones is doing this out of consideration for the family."

"What is the overall situation? I don't know what you guys are talking about!" Romeo said discontentedly.

At this moment, Harmon also spoke, "Lanzo, Fade is a friend of Romeo and I. What do you mean by your words?"

Lanzo snorted coldly and swept his gaze over Fade. He then said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this Mr. Chen was the one who killed Harold and Faxon when they explored the Dragon Mausoleum a few months ago."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Harmon and Romeo's expressions immediately changed. They also instantly understood what Jones and Lanzo meant. Immediately, Romeo defended Fade, "The Chiang family deserved that. They provoked Fade, so he killed them. This..."

Not waiting for Romeo to finish, the Old Master sitting at the head of the table, Shergius, said, "The Hsing family's house is old. It is really inconvenient to entertain our distinguished guests. So, today, we can only trouble you, Mr. Chen, to find somewhere else to stay. In a few days, the Hsing family will tidy up the guest room and then welcome you."
