Lying on the ground, Jerzy's eyes lit up in flames as he glared at their retreating figures.

He clenched his teeth that were still bleeding and said callously, "Call my family. I want to report what happened today. Also, break the news of Hareeta's and Alaric's death to the Song family." After the major incident, the party could no longer go on, so everyone left the scene.

As a result, the news of Hareeta's and Alaric's death, as well as the battle between Jerzy and Fade spread across Capital City, causing another wave of heated discussions.

The onlookers were now divided into two groups. They were having a heated debate among themselves.

Some believed that Fade had shown his great strength at the party and had won over Alicia's favor, so he was not afraid of the revenge from the Song family and Jerzy.

The rest believed that the murder of the Song family's disciples was not a small matter, and the Song family would definitely not let this go easily. Moreover, Jerzy was full of spite towards Fade. Now that he had enraged the real martial arts family, he must be in great trouble.

As for Alicia's action to support Fade, they believed that it was just her own decision. It was unlikely that the Chung family would go against the Yuwen family just for the sake of a secular warrior.

In fact, most of the public thought so too. Thus, the people couldn't help but worry for Fade.

Sure enough, some people secretly gloated over his misfortune. They couldn't wait for the moment when Fade was killed by the Song family and the Yuwen family.

Fade didn't pay much attention to the rumours. Instead, he returned home with Alicia.

When they reached home, he expressed his gratitude for her help that day, although he felt that he didn't really need it from a certain point of view.

She quickly waved her hand to show that it was no big deal. Then, she looked at him with embarrassment and stuttered, "Actually, I-1 also have a favor to ask from you!"

"What's the matter?" He asked.

She looked at him carefully and said, "It's about what I've told you before."

"Is it about pretending to be your boyfriend?" He frowned and said, "You and Jerzy have already fallen out with each other. I don't see the need to do that!"

She sighed and explained, "You don't need to pretend to be my boyfriend anymore. What I need now is a fake husband."

"A fake husband!" He was somewhat surprised.

She nodded and continued, "I have to get married within half a year."

"With your status, it shouldn't be a hard task for you to get married," he replied.

Alicia spoke softly, "Indeed, but I can't just find a random person. Otherwise, it's useless to get married."

"Ah, what's going on? Does it have anything to do with the chief of the Beauties Hall whom Jerzy mentioned earlier?" Fade asked.

Upon mentioning this, she could not help but let out a long sigh. With a gloomy expression, she admitted, "You're right."

"You know about the division between the inner and outer islands of Prohibition Island, don't you?" She looked at him and questioned.

He nodded and answered, "I know roughly about it. The real martial arts family resides on the outer island and the Three Palaces and the Sixteen Inner Halls are on the inner island."

When Jaguar recommended him to the chief of the inner island, he informed Fade about this knowledge, so he had a rough idea about it.

Alicia nodded and continued, "Our Chung family and the Yuwen family can be considered as the top among the outer island families."

"However, compared to the Three Palaces and Sixteen Inner Halls on the inner island, the real martial arts family is much weaker in comparison. Moreover, the people on the outer island are also looking forward to entering the inner island."

"Among the Sixteen Inner Halls, there's the Beauties Hall. Its chief is a seventy year old man."

"Due to the fact that he favors beauties, he selects women from the outer islands to enter the Beauties Hall every once in a while."

"It is also for this reason that he named his hall the Beauties Hall."

Upon hearing this, Fade couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He could vaguely guess what was going on.

Alicia continued, "This year, he held another selection. When he first came to the outer island, he met and selected me."

"But I refuse to marry such a lecherous old man. My family dotes on me a lot, so they came up with an excuse, saying that I'm engaged and hence, it's inconvenient for me to be selected to enter the Beauties Hall."

"Therefore, the chief temporarily removed my name from the name list."

"Due to this, I got engaged to Jerzy."

"Initially, I thought marrying Jerzy wasn't such a bad thing. However, after being in contact with him for half a year, I realized that he is an arrogant and selfish man. He's extremely vicious when dealing with people who don't meet his

standards."

"I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with such a man, so I left him. I ran out of the real martial arts family to find a suitable man to be my husband."

After that, she stared at Fade with her alluring eyes.

He looked at her and sighed softly. "Is this the reason why you want me to pretend to be your husband?"

She nodded and replied, "Yes."

"An ordinary man may let the cat out of the bag and it would anger the chief of the Beauties Hall. However, your strength and potential are both quite impressive."

He coughed slightly and said, "But I'm married."

She blinked and approached him, saying, "It doesn't matter. The marriage on Prohibition Island has nothing to do with the outside world. The laws, terms, and rules are not applicable as long as you agree."

"Uh..." As Alicia got closer and closer,

Fade could feel the faint fragrance emanating from her body. He could not help but pull himself further away, "+can see your point. However, there are so many martial arts families out there, so

shouldn't be too difficult for you to find a suitable man!"

Upon mentioning this, she involuntarily curled her lips and said, "Sure enough, such a man exists. Still, I would prefer it if the man is someone I like, even if it is a fake marriage. At the very least, he cannot be someone that I hate."

"After all, I don't want to give my first time to a random man!" "Excuse me, isn't this a fake marriage? Why are you..." He cleared his throat.

She sighed softly and said,

"Although it's a fake marriage, it's not easy to deal with the Beauties

Hall. That old man only favors virgins. If I get caught, he will definitely suspect me and even bring me back to the Beauties Hall

forcefully."

"I don't want to accompany an old man like him, so I must find a man I like, at least a pleasing man."

"As for you, I think you're a good candidate. You're decent in all your aspects, so I chose you."

He didn't know how to respond to this outrageous request.

She blinked innocently and her cheeks came close to his ear. She gently puffed out a breath and whispered, "I'm quite pretty, aren't I? If you and I were to fake a marriage, I'll give you my body. Don't you want to try?"

"Ahem..." He almost choked when he heard this.

To be honest, it was extremely tempting when a beauty like Alicia offered her body to him.

Even Fade, who had already reached the HalfLord Level, felt a shiver running through his body. He almost couldn't hold himself back.
