Sensing the change in Fade's mood, Romeo asked, "Brother Fade, is there something wrong?"

"I'll tell you once I have a look first!" Fade replied.

Romeo immediately followed after him.

The two of them walked over to the Lin family manor. They were originally the top family amongst the hidden families, but the gates to their home were tightly shut, and not a single person could be seen anywhere around them. Everything was quiet.

Fade grew even more suspicious of the abnormal scene before him.

Romeo knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"

After a long while, someone answered the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Romeo," Romeo responded.

"Romeo? What's the matter?" A servant of the Lin family asked.

Romeo answered anxiously, "I have something urgent to discuss with Master Lin."

"What's the matter?" The servant questioned.

Romeo lowered his voice as he replied, "It's confidential. I can only tell Master Lin."

"Well..." The servant hesitated.

Romeo's expression darkened, and he insisted, "It's very important. If everything fails because of your delay, will you be able to take responsibility for it? "

The servant instantly panicked. "Young Master Hsing, please wait for a moment. I will head inside and report it."

After the servant left, Romeo turned to look at Fade.

Fade's expression darkened as he furrowed his brows. "Something's not right. Something must have happened to the Lin family."

"Brother Fade, what should we do?" Romeo asked.

Fade thought for a moment before answering.

"Find an excuse to meet Tamon. I will follow you in secretly."

Romeo was about to ask how he was going to follow him without being found out, but the servant was already here. He stopped himself in time.

"Young Master Hsing, the master would like to welcome you in!" The servant opened the door.

Romeo nodded and stepped into the Lin family's courtyard.

After entering, he looked back deliberately, but did not see Fade anywhere.

"Young Master Hsing, this way please!" The servant led Romeo to the Lin family's reception room.

The massive manor was extremely quiet. There wasn't anyone to be seen walking around in the courtyard, which made Romeo feel suspicious about the Lin family.

A servant served him a cup of tea when they arrived at the living room. "Young Master Hsing, please wait for a moment. Master Lin will be right there."

Moments later, Tarmon walked out.

Romeo immediately stood up and bowed to him.

However, he quickly noticed that Tarmon's expression was solemn, and he looked like he was worried about something.

Restraining his inner doubts, Romeo greeted him, "Greetings, Master Lin."

"Hello!" Tarmon gently nodded his head before he asked, "Romeo, I heard that you have something urgent to discuss with me.

What is it?"

Romeo paused. He had merely found an excuse to enter the manor, but he did not really think it through.

He started to panic, wondering what excuse he could come up with this time.

Just then, Fade's voice suddenly rang in his mind. "Tell him that it's important. It's related to the survival of the Lin family, and that you need a secret room to talk to him alone." Romeo was shocked as he looked around him, but he couldn't find Fade anywhere. He was bewildered.

Tarmon was dissatisfied with his response and said, "Romeo, are you here for something important, or are you just messing with me?"

Romeo came to his senses and quickly replied, "Master Lin, I am definitely not here to mess around with you. It's just that it's a very serious matter, and I would prefer to tell you about it privately."

"Our house is very safe. Why can't you tell me about it here?" Tarmon frowned.

Romeo replied with a grim expression, "It's about the Lin family's survival."

Upon hearing this, Tarmon's expression changed. Finally, he nodded his head as he stood up and said, "Follow me!"

After walking for several minutes, Tarmon and Romeo arrived at a room. After entering the room, the door was closed and only the two of them were in it. "Now, can you tell me what it is?" Tarmon looked at him.

Romeo looked around and did not reply.

Upon seeing this, Tarmon seemed displeased. "Romeo, just what is it that you want to tell me?"

Romeo did not reply, but instead looked around him in confusion as if he was looking for someone.

"Romeo, you..." Tarmon was a little angry. He slammed his palm down the table and stood up as he was about to lose his temper.

Just then, a faint voice sounded, "Sit down!"

Upon hearing the voice, Tarmon and Romeo simultaneously turned around and found a figure standing behind them. It was none other than Fade. Tarmon turned pale with fright. "Mr. Chen, you..."

Fade glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so nervous?"

"No, I'm not..." Tarmon instinctively denied.

"Is Quin here with the Lin family?" Fade pressed on.

Upon hearing Quin's name, Tarmon's expression changed drastically. "I... I..." He looked extremely flustered.

"So you are hiding something from me indeed!" Fade stated firmly. "Or are you planning to do something to me again?"

In an instant, a wave of positive energy started spreading across the room from Fade's body.

In an instant, a wave of pressure rushed forth, causing Tarmon to collapse onto the ground.

Romeo was filled with horror as he stabilized himself by holding onto the table. "Mr. Chen has gotten even stronger!" He thought.

As he looked down at Tarmon, who was lying on the ground, Fade questioned him, "Tell me, what exactly is going on? Where is Quin now?"

Tarmon could no longer control

himself as he kneeled in front of Fade and pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I've made a mistake, but I had no other choice I was forced to! If I didn't do it, they said that they would kill my entire family!"

"What?" Fade's expression fell. "Who forced you to do this?"

Tarmon trembled as he replied, "It's the members of the Skull Mob."

As he spoke, he took out a mask.

It was the black skull mask that Fade had seen when he had just come down from the mountains. Back then, because of the Ice Lotus Seed in Quin's body, he had made many interactions with the Skull Mob, as well as killed many of their members.

However, as Fade's influence and power grew, the members of the Skull Mob disappeared after he went to Capital City.

Fade had assumed that they wouldn't dare to do anything to him or his wife anymore.

However, he had thought wrong.

Suppressing the impulse to kill someone right then and there, he questioned coldly, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
