Fade got up early the next morning after a night's rest.

Soon after he finished washing up, Alicia came over and led him and the others to have breakfast.

During breakfast, she apologized to Fade for what had happened the day before. She told him that she and Richardus supported him very much and promised to do their best to convince Rahmi and Rochelle to reach an agreement with him later.

He knew that she only meant well. Hence, he nodded and smiled gently. "I understand!"

Shortly after breakfast, she led Fade and the others to the living room.

However, the guards stopped them when they arrived at the entrance of the living room.

She frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing? I'm taking Fade and the others to the meeting. What do you mean by stopping us from entering?"

"Please calm down, Miss Chung."

"Of course, you and Mr. Chen may enter, but the rest seem to have nothing to do with the meeting. Thus..."

The guard glanced at Halston, Joey, and the others while he spoke.

"They're also my friends, I..." Alicia bellowed, her face flushed with anger.

However, Halston stopped her before she could finish her words. "Miss Chung, this truly has nothing to do with us. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to join in." "Miss Chung, we haven't finished cultivating yet, and we are just about to go back to our rooms to cultivate," Kelly added.

The others also spoke up.

Alicia looked at them and finally looked at Fade with an inquiring look.

He turned to look at them. He knew that they meant well and didn't want to make trouble for him in front of a noble family like the Chung family.

Therefore, he nodded and said softly, "Have a good rest. I will be back soon."

"Okay!" The group of friends waved goodbye and left.

Alicia quickly instructed the servants to escort them, then turned to look at Fade apologetically. "Fade, I'm sorry!"

He shook his head and reassured her, "It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize. Besides, the Chung family mansion is full of spiritual energy. It's good for them to seize the opportunity to cultivate."

Then, the two of them entered the living room.

About 15 minutes later, Richardus, Rahmi, Rochelle, Jarvis, and Howell walked in.

After everyone was seated, Alicia turned to look at Rahmi and asked impatiently, "Uncle, what do you think about recruiting Fade as a member of the Chung family?"

Beside her, Richardus chimed in, "Fade has great potential. It will be a great fortune for our family if he becomes our member." Rahmi was calm and serious as he sat unmoving on the main seat, his face betraying no visible emotions.

He glanced at Richardus and Alicia and then shifted his gaze to Fade. Then, he said slowly, "I learned a lot about Mr. Chen after looking him up last night, and I found that he is truly outstanding." "Uncle, I told you that Fade is powerful!" She exclaimed.

Richardus nodded and said, "Then, let's sign the contract, Rahmi."

He pulled out the contract that he had drafted the day before as he spoke, about to hand it over to Fade.

However, at this moment, Rahmi shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"Rahmi..." Richardus looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Rahmi said, "Fade does have a lot of potential and is worthy of joining us. However, we should change the conditions."

"Change the conditions?" Both Richardus and

Alicia exclaimed in unison, shocked by his words.

Alicia immediately defended, "Uncle, if you are thinking about raising the offer, Fade doesn't care about money, but we may adjust the cultivation resources..."

Before she could finish her words, Jarvis interrupted her, "Alicia, my father didn't say that he wants to raise the offer."

"You're not raising the offer? Then

why did you want to change the conditions?" She was stunned. Soon enough, she thought of something, and her eyes widened in realization. "Uncle, you are planning to lower..."

"It looks like you're clear-headed, Alicia!" Jarvis laughed.

Meanwhile, Howell chuckled and said, "Uncle is planning to lower the offer to recruit Fade, Alicia."

"How could you guys..." Her expression darkened as she glared at them.

However, Rahmi roared and interrupted her. "Alicia, our family has a say on the conditions. It's up to Mr. Chen whether he wants to accept it or not. Don't interrupt."

Then, he looked at Fade and said in

a deep voice, "Fade, if you agree to be a member of our family, we will provide you with cultivation resources worth 100,000 stone coins every year, as well as the

relevant information as support."

"Of course, you have to follow the Chung family's orders once you join us. You must return to the Chung family once a month to accept the tasks our family has arranged for you." Alicia's face turned pale as soon as Rahmi finished talking, and she spoke up before Fade could respond, "Uncle, this is too much. It is absolutely impossible. Fade..." Richardus was equally displeased. He looked at Rahmi and said, "Rahmi, what are you thinking? Fade has unlimited potential. These conditions are totally nonsense."

Rahmi's conditions were very different in comparison to Richardus' the day before.

He had reduced the offer from cultivation resources worth 1 million stone coins to 100,000 stone coins. Not only that, but he had also tightened the restrictions. Fade was already somewhat hesitant to agree to the conditions offered the day before. It was a total joke to expect him to agree to such harsh conditions.

Alicia and Richardus looked at Rahmi in confusion.

However, he did not intend to explain his reasons. Instead, he squinted at Fade and asked, "Fade, these are the conditions that our family offers to you. What do you think?"

At this moment, Fade's expression was as cold as ice, betraying no emotions.

He was willing to accept the offer the night before only for the sake of Alicia.

However, now, Rahmi's condition was a complete insult to him.

In this case, he would never agree to it.

Raising his head to look at Rahmi, Fade said coldly, "I thank the Chung family for your great kindness. However, I don't think I am the best candidate to..."

Before Fade could finish his words, Rahmi narrowed his eyes and shot a meaningful glance at Jarvis.

Jarvis suddenly stepped forward and said in a low voice as he looked at Fade, "Mr. Chen, when my father and I were investigating your background last night, we made some tiny discoveries."

"Not only had you offended the Song

Family, but you also killed Jerzy, the eldest son of the Yuwen family. Now, the members of the Yuwen family are furious, and they want to avenge Jerzy! Besides, the Sixteen Inner Hall seems to have rejected General Xu's recommendation."

Everyone's faces fell upon hearing Jarvis' announcement.
