Joey looked over to Fade as he stood behind her. Both of them nodded before getting into the car together.

The car started and drove out of the campus.

As the car started, Fade and Joey noticed that a thick and red carpet was rolled out on the road. They looked forward and saw the red carpet extended throughout the journey, with no end in sight. "Could it be that this red carpet has been laid outside the hotel?" Fade guessed.

Soon enough, their guess was confirmed. The red carpet had been spread from the entrance of the class building to the hotel outside the school. Although it wasn't far, it was still one or two kilometers away. The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a group of butlers in western-style uniforms neatly lined on both sides of the hotel entrance. They bowed in unison and said, "Welcome, Miss Joey!"

From the looks of it, it was obvious that the hotel had been completely booked. Even the staff members in the hotel had been changed.

Groups of onlookers surrounded the hotel and constantly discussed among themselves. Cameras continuously clicked as they took pictures at the scene.

Joey frowned and said, "This is lame!"

She then took Fade's arm and they walked into the hotel together.

As soon as they entered the hotel, Fade couldn't help but narrow his eyes. That was because he keenly discovered that there were many uniformed guards in the hotel. The shape of a pistol could be seen under their bulging uniforms.

That wasn't the most surprising thing for Fade. What surprised him more was that there were also many fully armed guards hidden in the dark. Not only were they all armed with rifles, they were also fully equipped. These people also exuded the strong energy of martial artists. Their strength was basically between the late stage of the Black Level and the middle stage of the Earth Level.

If martial artists of this level had formed an army, even the Stealth, Martial Arts League, and these types of organizations will definitely find it hard to defeat them as well.

However, this Tarlo was actually able to mobilize such a team of guards. This really surprised Fade. At the same time, he was curious about the man's

identity.

Despite this, only a hint of surprise flashed across Fade's face.

Both of them continued to move forward. Under the guidance of the butler, they took the elevator to the top floor of the hotel.

Upon reaching the top floor, they entered a private room.

Fade looked around and immediately recognized that it had been quickly redecorated. All the initial decorations had been changed while the tables and chairs had been replaced with mahogany furniture. The paintings on the wall had all been replaced with different kinds of expensive authentic works. Even the lights in the room had been changed.

It could even be said that the entire room had been completely renovated.

However, this kind of arrogance only slightly surprised Fade and Joey. She frowned and whispered, "Egotistical show-off."

In the private room, accompanied by the footsteps of two people, a young man's voice sounded. "Miss Joey, I am Tarlo Long, welcome. Welcome!" The man said.

Along with the sound of the voice, a young man who looked to be in his mid- twenties wore a custom-made suit. He wore a smile on his face as he spread his arms to welcome the both of them.

As soon as they saw this person, Fade and Joey could immediately confirm that this person must be Mr. Long.

However, as soon as Tarlo, who was initially smiling, saw Fade and Joey holding each other's arms, his eyes couldn't help but sink. His face flushed with anger.

However, he held back his anger and squeezed out a smile. He said to Joey, "Miss Joey, I've already prepared lunch. Please do give it a try."

She rolled her eyes and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm not here for a meal. I'm just here to talk to you."

"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in you and I won't agree to your pursuit, so please stop harassing me and don't interfere with the people around me. Thank you!" Soon after that, she directly held Fade's arm and turned to leave.

Her decisive attitude shocked Tarlo. He didn't expect this at all and was momentarily stunned.

Upon seeing that Joey was about to

walk out the door of the private room, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Miss Joey, perhaps you don't know me well now. Give me some time. After you get to know me, I'm sure that you't fall in love with me."

"Impossible!" She snorted. "Moreover, I'm not interested in knowing you," she added.

She continued to walk out of the private room.

Just as they were about to leave the private room, several bodyguards suddenly appeared at the door and blocked their way. They looked serious and their positive energy surged.

Upon seeing this, Fade's face couldn't help but become stern. His energy began to surge as well.

Joey raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at Tarlo. She said, "Are you trying to make an attack?"

Tarlo smiled and said, "Miss Joey, perhaps you misunderstood me. I don't mean that. I just wish to be your friend and have a nice chat with you."

"But I'm not interested in making friends with you," she unceremoniously rebutted.

All of a sudden, Tarlo's face became stern.

However, she didn't look at his face at all. She pushed aside the security guards at the door and was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, Tarlo's face darkened and said, "Miss Joey, please wait a moment."

"Do you have anything else to say?" She sounded impatient.

At that moment, he stopped smiling and sat on a soft armchair. He knocked on t the armrest with his fingers and said in a low voice, "Miss Joey, invited an honored guest for today's lunch. Don't you want to see him?"

"Honored guest! I'm not interested in..." Joey curled her lips and was about to leave.

However, at that moment, two bodyguards came out of the private room with a middle-aged man. The man shouted, "Joey!"

Upon hearing this, Fade and Joey were both stunned. They turned around and looked into the private room.

In an instant, their eyes widened and the expressions on their faces changed.

"Dad!" Joey immediately exclaimed.

The man in the private room was none other than Moore Chen.

However, Moore looked slightly pale and his body seemed weak. It seemed as if he wasn't in a very good condition.

"What did you do to my father!" Joey glared at Tarlo and shouted angrily. She almost couldn't help but rush over.

However, Fade, who was next to her, pulled her in time and whispered, "Don't be impulsive."

Moore was a martial artist at the early stage of the Heaven Level. However, Tarlo had brought him here without making any sound. His strength couldn't be underestimated. Therefore, Fade didn't want Joey to take risks.

As he gently held Joey's hand, Fade calmed her down a little.

Soon after that, he looked over to Tarlo who was sitting opposite him. He said in a deep voice, "What the hell do you want to do?"
