Narumi coped with the situation skillfully. Liza, who did not mind the compliments that were coming from her surroundings, got off the stage and came to Fade, asking with concern, "Fade, are you hurt?" He smiled and comforted her, "Liza, don't worry, I'm fine. A martial artist at the peak of the Earth Level can't hurt me yet."

"It's good that you're not injured." She smiled, "This time, it's all thanks to you. I don't even know how I should show my gratitude..."

He waved his hand, "It's something I've promised you. You don't have to be so polite."

"Everyone is waiting for you to speak as the new president of Hachi Clan. Go ahead!" He said to her with a smile.

She glanced at the throng around Narumi, nodded and walked over.

She then gave a speech in public and gained a warm round of applause.

Although Fade didn't quite understand what she was saying, he could guess the overall meaning. It was nothing more than to thank everyone for their support, and that she would develop and lead the Hachi Clan towards advancement in the future.

That night, the entire Hachi Clan headquarters was transformed into a sea of joy.

Narumi hosted a grand celebration banquet and had a good drink with the people who had pledged allegiance to the Hachi Clan. At the same time, he took the opportunity to draw everyone over to his side so that they could establish partnership in the future.

As Fade didn't share the same language with them and didn't like such occasions, he left after a simple social engagement.

After returning to his room, he washed up, changed into a new set of clothes, and prepared to head out.

He wanted to meet with the investigation team. Earlier in the battling arena, he found that Joben from the Akao family had been taking the genestrengthening liquid for a long time. He was almost certain that the disappearance of Professor Song had something to do with the Akao family.

Therefore, he had to inform Cindy and the others, and at the same time, discuss future plans and arrangements.

As a result of the grand banquet, the Hachi Clan headquarters was somehow deserted at this time of the night. There were only patrolling personnel who occasionally strolled around. Almost everyone else gathered in the living room.

Fade passed through a nearby courtyard and was ready to go out through the side door.

However, just as he was about to leave, he saw two dark shadows quietly scurrying into the woods on the side.

"Did someone sneak in?" He couldn't help but be alert. He changed his mind instantly and stealthily followed the two shadows.

The area of the woods was not large but it was exquisitely decorated. There were all kinds of trees, flowers, and plants, as well as artificial mountains and rocks that were especially brought in for decoration. Yet, in the midst of the starry night, those strange silhouettes added a gloomy atmosphere to the woods.

Nonetheless, it was also convenient for Fade to follow them from behind. He hid behind various trees and stones, catching up with the shadows in no time.

The duo stopped in a small pavilion, and Fade halted behind a stone more than ten meters away, observing what was going on.

Seeing the silhouettes of the duo, Fade discovered that they were a man and a woman. He immediately grew even more curious. At that time, the two of them started to speak.

The woman, who spoke first, asked, "Eichi, what is the secret you mentioned?"

Upon hearing the voice, Fade was surprised and his face showed astonishment. The voice was familiar to him. It was none other than Liza.

Although Fade did not understand what she said, he still could hear the name, Eichi.

Fade, who was suspicious, alerted in an instant, "These two are Eichi and Liza. According to the meaning of her words, it seems that he had asked her to come out and told her that he had secrets to let her know."

Just as Fade was shocked and alert, Eichi said, "Liza, actually, this matter is of great importance. You must not spread it!"

"Huh, what the hell is that!" She was even more curious.

Eichi walked two steps towards her. The two of them got closer and were almost pressed against each other.

She seemed to be slightly surprised by such intimacy and she subconsciously moved back a step.

However, at that moment, Eichi suddenly rose up and lifted his palm, slapping the nape of her neck with all his might.

She did not expect him to launch an attack against her. She could not help but be surprised, "Eichi, you..."

Before she could finish her words, her body went limp and was about to fall to the ground.

Eichi stretched out his arm and pulled Liza into his embrace. He then looked down at her, who was unconscious, and said, "Liza, why won't you accept me? We could have been a couple and lead the Hachi Clan together. However, you did this to me, and I have no choice..."

Just as he sighed emotionally, Fade sprung out and rushed over.

With Fade's speed, he might be able to save Liza before Eichi took action. However, he did not expect that Eichi would actually attack her. Therefore, he did not manage to act in time.

As Eichi was sighing emotionally, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him. He couldn't help but be shocked. Shouting and striking out his palm in the direction of the shadow, he questioned, "Who is it?" However, how could his attack hit Fade, given that his level was below par?

Fade avoided the attack with ease and rushed into the pavilion, hitting Eichi's shoulder and knocking him backwards. He then carried Liza over, put his palm on her back, and injected her with positive energy. After being knocked back by Fade, Eichi staggered and when he saw the face of the black shadow clearly, he couldn't help but put on a ferocious and angry expression, "It's you, Fade."

Fade looked at him coldly, "What are you doing? Why did you do that to Liza?"

With his facial expression changing, Eichi quietly moved his hands and attempted to find an excuse, "You misunderstood me. I, I was just..."

Fade had completely noticed his little movements as he shouted out coldly all of a sudden, "You betrayed Liza."

While they were talking, Fade was ready to leave with her.

Eichi called out coldly upon seeing that, "Take action, kill him!"

In an instant, more than a dozen people jumped out from the woods and charged towards Fade.

He could only stop healing Liza for the time being and turned to attack those bunch of people.

In the midst of the fight, Fade realized that all of them had extraordinary abilities. They were almost all warriors within the range of intermediate until advanced stage of the Earth Level. Among them, Fade found some familiar faces who were the internal members of the Hachi Clan.

Seeing such a situation, he was in shock. He looked at Eichi fiercely and said in a harsh voice, "The Uchida family betrayed Liza, and you all want to rebel?"

"Since you know so much, it's time for you to die," Eichi said, gritting his teeth and launching an attack at Fade at the same time.

"If you want to kill me, it won't be so easy," Fade coldly harrumphed. He then launched his attack with a rumbling sound.
