Fade calmly stepped through the chaos.

"Fade, what are you doing here in the Guo family's house?" Zeward asked, trying to hold back his anger.

Fade glanced at him and knew that he was Monash's father. Then, his eyes fell on Maurice. "I come in peace. I just want to talk to the Guo family." "I mean no harm."

Hearing these words, Zesiah almost flew into a rage. "You hurt my son, Egon, and still dare to claim that you come in peace. You..."

However, before he could finish, Maurice silenced him with a glare.

The old man's eyes fell on Fade. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked softly.

"Let's talk about Monash," Fade replied.

"Monash it is. What's the matter?" Maurice asked, gritting his teeth.

"Monash is dead. I killed him," Fade replied.

"However, there's a reason forthat."

"In the Xuan Valley, Monash colluded with several conspirators to kill me. I killed him in self-defense."

Ignoring Maurice's glare, Zesiah rushed forward and shouted, "What nonsense! There is no enmity between you and my family. Monash didn't even know you. Why would he attack you? It doesn't make sense."

Almost all of the Guo family members were glaring at Fade, waiting for his reply.

He glanced at the crowd and said indifferently, "I don't know, and that's why I'm here."

"I hope that the Guo family will cooperate with me to uncover the reason for Monash's treachery and to root out the mastermind."

"Y-You..." Zeward was so angry that he looked like he was about to burst into flames.

The crowd became more enthusiastic.

"Fade is so arrogant!"

"He killed a member of the family and dares to ask for their cooperation!"

"He doesn't respect the Guo family at all!" "Let's see how the Guo family deals with him." "Of course they won't agree. This is the Guo family. How can they ignore their anger?"

Maurice gloomily watched the uproar from his chair. With a shout, he slammed his palm on the armrest of the chair, stood up, and glared at Fade.

"Fade, what do you take the Guo family for?" He snarled through gritted teeth.

"You killed my grandson, and now you want me to cooperate with your investigation? Do you think my family is weak enough for you to bully into submission?"

He was fuming.

Fade frowned. "Mr. Guo, I explained that killing Monash was an act of self-defense. From a certain point of view, Monash was also being used. I want to find the real murderer. That would give you closure over Monash. I hope that the Guo family will cooperate with me," he tried to explain.

"Nonsense!" Maurice roared. "Fade, I had planned to seek revenge on you after the birthday party, but since you have come, I'll kill you right here!"

Maurice waved his hand and shouted, "Guo family, listen to me, kill Fade!"

"Yes, sir!"

There was a burst of cheers, and in an instant, Fade was surrounded by the angry mob.

He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. "I only came to talk and not to fight, but since you have forced my hand, you'll have to pardon my rudeness." His eyes turned cold. "If you want to fight, come on!"

His fearless attitude shocked everyone in the room.

His reputation in the country had been growing for a while now. Everyone had heard whispers of him.

For a moment, no one came forward.

Maurice got ready to order everyone to move.

Before he could, a middle-aged man stepped forward on his own accord.

"Fade, prepare to die!"

The crowd gasped.

The man was not a member of the Guo family. He was Quentin, who had just willingly placed himself at the service of the Guo family.

He was first to step forward.

All of a sudden, the crowd burst into a ruckus.

Some sighed at Quentin's boldness, while others shook their heads, indicating that they did not understand.

"Quentin is gambling his entire family's lives on this!"

"He is really bold to step forward like that."

"However, as the saying goes, the

greater the risk, the greater the return! Quentin had already impressed Mr. Guo. If his gamble pays off, he would be in an even

better position with the Guo family!"

Quite a number of people who failed to impress Maurice earlier contemplated following Quentin and stepping forward.

This was a second chance for them to shine.

Lorcan was among them.

His three Ink Lotuses had been overshadowed by Quentin's bold pledge of service.

At that moment, there was an opportunity to regain Maurices's favor. Lorcan hesitated to seize it.

As he contemplated his options, Quentin let out a loud shout and charged at Fade, positive energy erupting from his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The strong positive energy stirred the air with a howl. It was the whistling sound of death.

Fade stood calmly in the center of the square to meet him.

He shook his head as he watched Quentin's ferocious attack. He gently extended his right hand.

Boom! Boom!

Fade's palm collided with Quentin's, slamming the middle-aged man to the ground.

There he laid, his body in pieces, barely breathing nor moving. He had been so aggressive with his attack and yet Fade had taken him down with a single blow.

"Anyone else?"

Fade clapped his hands and looked at the others.

The crowd went dead silent. Everyone stared at him in shock.

After all, although Quentin was not a top master, he was a warrior at the early stage of the Heaven Level.

Despite this, he was taken down so easily...

What was the extent of Fade's strength?

Could it be that he really was a legendary HalfLord expert?

In that instant, everyone was trying to process what had happened.

Lorcan and the others who were considering stepping forward looked on in shock. Then, with their eyes wide open, they took a deep breath and a step back, terrified.

"I'm glad I hesitated. That would have been me on the ground," they thought.
