Fade stared at him and thought of something. He opened his mouth and asked, "You said Quin is a member of your Lin family. What's going on? Tell me the details."

Tarmon's expression slightly changed as he began to explain, "It was around twenty years ago, and the Lin family was considered one of the well-off hidden families. We were not considered among the first- rate families but we were considered one of the better ones."

"I had a nephew and his name was Daniel. Even though he was born into a martial arts family, he wasn't interested as he was not talented in it. Thus, when he grew up, the family sent him to manage the Lin family's business."

"Daniel was only average in terms of martial arts, but he was quite talented in business. In just a few years, he had raised the Lin family's business by a few folds and he had a certain reputation in the family." "Just when they were about to promote his position in the family, Daniel brought back a girl whom he had met during a vacation, and the two of them had fallen in love. Therefore, they were planning to get married."

"As a hidden family, the Lin family is very enthusiastic about the marriage of our members, and they strive to find someone that is a perfect match for them. Moreover, Daniel was performing well and thus, the family was finding a significant other for him. That was why they initially opposed their marriage."

"But then, the woman showed us her strength, and this was when we found out that she was also a martial artist herself. Moreover, she was not an ordinary person. She was a Heaven Level martial artist and was related to Wushuang Tower."

"After finding out about this, the family naturally agreed to Daniel's marriage. After all, this was a great opportunity to curry favor with Wushuang Tower. Therefore, the family held a wedding for the two." "However, on the day before the wedding, the woman returned, injured, and she left to get her injuries treated. Then, an anonymous person came to the Lin family and threatened us not to contact that woman again."

"Initially we didn't think too much about his threats but then our Lin family's business was greatly impacted, and our disciples were also ambushed and attacked. Even one of the elders of our family was also injured from their attacks. Therefore, under such circumstances, we couldn't just ignore their threats anymore. We had no other choice but to call off the wedding"

"But Daniel was too stubborn, and he insisted on marrying that woman. Hence, he didn't even hesitate to leave the Lin family so that he could marry her."

"After Daniel left, our Lin family quietened down immediately. Later, we also secretly investigated what had happened to them. The last we heard was that they had a child together. After that, Daniel died and the woman went missing. We knew that this was the doing of that anonymous person, and we were afraid that it would affect the Lin family. Hence, we stopped investigating it and we also made it a rule that no one in the family was allowed to speak about this matter ever again."

Hearing this, Fade's eyes could not help but slightly squinted. He asked, "What is the name of the woman?"

"Her name was Chrystal Xie."

Upon hearing the name, Fade's heart jolted. She was indeed Quin's mother. Back then, Francesca had told him that his mother-in-law was somehow related to Wushuang Tower, and now, this was verified by Tarmon.

However, he had now gotten some new

information, which was the sudden appearance of that anonymous martial artist before Daniel and Chrystal's wedding. Why did he want to obstruct their wedding, and why was Chrystal injured? What happened to Daniel that caused him to die so suddenly and why did Chrystal go missing?

All of a sudden, these questions flooded his mind and he was feeling doubtful.

After a pause, Fade continued to ask, "What happened after that? Why did the Lin family pursue the matter again, and what is the motive behind you hunting Quin down?"

Tarmon's face turned pale as he explained, "Actually, all of these happened recently. Six months ago, we went to contact Wushuang Tower. Their people mentioned Chrystal's incident and that they wanted us to help them bring Quin in. That is the only reason why we started to pursue this matter and that is also why..."

"Why does Wushuang Tower want to bring Quin in, and what is the relationship between them and Chrystal?"

Tarmon shook his head and replied "I have no idea about this. Wushuang Tower ordered us to carry out the task and the Lin family did not dare to ask so much."

Seeing that Fade's expression was a little grim, he hastily added, "But I've secretly sent people to inquire about it, and I vaguely managed to gather some information. After Chrystal went missing, she did go back to Wushuang Tower once. However, things didn't end up as they wished and she left after that. That is everything I know. As for the details, I have no idea."

As Fade listened, he recalled that before he came to Capital City, one of the members of Wushuang Tower, Santos, went to Dragonville, and he was looking for an antique token that was left behind by Chrystal.

"Could this token be somehow related to the fact that she left Wushuang Tower?"

There were all kinds of doubts in his heart, but no idea where to start his search. However, Tarmon seemed like he couldn't provide him with any more information. Therefore, he had to wait for Ceylon to arrive; only then could he ask him about the rest.

Concurrently, on the phone, Ceylon had just hung up the phone with his grandson, Eirian. His expression was extremely gloomy upon finding out that his grandson was in a life-threatening situation. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

After the phone was hung up, he dialed his phone again but this time, Eirian was not reachable and this made Ceylon even more worried.

A middle-aged man in a long robe named Ziglar, who was next to Ceylon, saw that he had received a call and his expression changed. He could not help but ask, "Master Sun, what's wrong? What happened?' Ceylon had a gloomy face as he answered, "Eirian has been caught and now, only by bringing Quin to them can he be freed."

"What! How could this be?" Ziglar couldn't help being taken aback. He then glanced at Ceylon and asked cautiously, "Master Sun, what are you going to do?"

"What should we do? Of course, we have to go and save Eirian. Can we just let him be?" Ceylon glared at him and snorted.

A strange expression flashed across Ziglar's face when he heard this. He quickly replied, "Master Sun, that is not what I meant. We definitely have to save Eirian but Quin is highly valued by the deputy guardian. If we can't bring her back this time, I'm afraid the clan..."

"Then are you just going to sit around and let Eirian be in danger?" Ceylon turned his head and glared at him.
