"That's right. We'd better find somewhere to stay first," Romeo said hurriedly.

Immediately, the three of them turned around and walked towards the outermost part of the valley, searching for a place to stay. After all, this wasn't a holiday destination, but a gathering place for the hidden family nobles. There weren't any hotels at all.

Therefore, if one wanted to find a place to stay now, one would have to rely on Harmon.

Fortunately, he had a rather good relationship with the hidden families. Not long after, he found a hidden family of the surname Zhu, and they ultimately settled down in the Zhu family.

The Zhu family's house was almost located in the outermost portion of the valley. The house was also relatively old and could not compare to the exquisite manor of the Hsing family. From this, one could also see their status among the hidden families.

If the Hsing family could be considered a third-rate family amongst the hidden families, then the Zhu family was a fourth-rate family. Of all the hidden families, they could be considered a very weak family. It could even be said that their power could not be considered top-notch.

After all, the hidden families had developed over so many years. Although many families were growing stronger, there were still declining families. The Zhu family was one of them.

Moreover, the end of the decline of the Zhu family still could not be seen. In this election, they didn't even send any candidates with potential to participate. If this continued, they might even get expelled from the hidden family.

However, they were very enthusiastic about Fade and the others. They prepared guest rooms for Fade and the other two with smiles all over their faces. Then, they had dinner together. Finally, they personally sent them back to the guest rooms to rest. It could be said that they were hospitable.

After being tired from the long journey, Fade laid down early that night to rest.

The next morning, he got up and came out. He saw that the Zhu family had already prepared breakfast. After everyone had breakfast, the head of the Zhu family, Keeran, summoned his daughter, Leena, enthusiastically. He wanted to ask her to accompany Fade out and get familiar with the surroundings of the hidden family.

Leena was very young, only 18 or 19 years old.

Her face was round with a pair of big black eyes. She looked like a doll and was very cute.

"Fade, let's go out!" The little girl was very lively. He heard her call him from the guest room.

"Okay, I'll be right out!" He smiled and then walked out. Then, the two of them walked out side by side.

However, just as they walked into the living room of the Zhu family home, they suddenly heard a prideful shout from within, "Where's Leena? Tell her to come and see me.

Following that, Keeran's voice rang out, "Mr. Pei, why are you here? Please take a seat!"

"Don't mess with me. Keeran, there's a limit to my patience. Get Leena out right now, or else don't blame me for being impolite," Mr. Pei said in a haughty voice.

Following which, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It was obvious that a group of people had entered the living room of the Zhu family's home.

Then, Keeran's tone suddenly changed, "Mr. Pei, wh-what are you doing?"

When Fade heard these words, he was confused. Beside him, Leena's expression changed and she rushed out in a hurry.

Seeing this, Fade hurriedly followed her.

"Warron, what are you trying to do?" Leena shouted as she rushed out. She stared at a man in his thirties with her round eyes, and her cheeks turned red because of her anger. Seeing Leena come out, the man named Warron immediately smiled and said, "Leena, don't you know what I'm doing? I want you to become my woman. Let me love you forever."

When he spoke, Warron looked very confident. He thought he was looking at Leena affectionately, but his expression almost made Fade vomit.

When she heard this, her expression became even angrier. She told the man, "Warron, I told you a long time ago that I won't marry you, and I definitely won't be your concubine! Give up on this idea!"

At this time, Keeran squeezed out a smile and said to Warron, "Mr. Pei, you are the eldest son of the Pei family. You are young and promising. Leena is still young, and she is not worthy of you, so as for a concubine..."

Warron waved his hand and interrupted him. He said proudly, "Keeran, don't play tricks on me. Let me tell you, I have a crush on Leena. I'm telling you, I must have her."

With this, he paused and snorted, "I have already given you, the Zhu family, a month. Now, it's time to make a decision."

"Mr. Pei, we'd better give this matter further thought, or..." Keeran said with a smile.

Warron snorted and said, "A month ago, you told me the same thing. You want to delay further? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Today, the Zhu family must give me an answer."

"Leena, come with me and be my concubine. Otherwise, the Zhu family will be the enemy of the Pei family! We have never been soft on our enemies. Zhu family, you have to think it over. What is the answer?" In the face of the threats, Keeran's face suddenly sank. He was full of anxiety and helplessness.

Leena bit her lip and a thin line of blood oozed out. Her big round eyes were watery, and she could not help but shed a tear.

Beside Warron, several people who looked like housekeepers stood out.

"Zhu family, letting Leena marry into the Pei family is definitely a good thing. Why are you still hesitating?"

"Zhu family, I know that you worry that being a concubine is not a good reputation, but you must be aware that this is the concubine of Mr. Warron Pei. Many women would fight to be his concubine, but they won't have this opportunity!" "By the way, I can reveal a piece of news to you. The Pei family has been on pretty good terms with the Chiang family recently. After this election, the two families will carry out ever further cooperation. In that case, you should understand what I mean!"

Hearing the persuasion and temptation, Keeran's expression became hesitant.

Given the current situation of the Zhu family, it was simply impossible to fight against the Pei family. Moreover, the Pei family still had some sort of relationship with the Chiang family, so the Zhu family was ever less likely to fight against them.

Based on rationality, it would be a wise choice to let his daughter be Warron's concubine.

However, when he thought of his daughter's determined eyes and Warron's bad reputation when it came to women, Keeran couldn't bear to push his daughter into this deep pit.

"Mr. Pei, about th-this, I..." He looked like he was in a dilemma. He wanted to find an excuse to delay this matter.
