He didn't respond but frowned as if he was deep in thought.

Under normal circumstances, given Therius' relationship with Jaguar, Fade would have said yes to his request immediately.

However, the situation now was different. On one hand, it was because he wasn't really friends with Ashley, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be part of a feud between families. Hence, he continued to remain silent.

Seeing this, Therius continued to plead, "Fade, as long as you fight for us once, the Zhou family is willing to fulfill any of your wishes that are within our capabilities."

However, Fade still refused to say anything.

Seeing this, Therius didn't make any comments. Instead, it was Ashley who curled her lips and said unhappily, "Dad, why are you begging him? Didn't we ask Mr. Chai and his disciples for help? Why do we stil need him? He's just a martial arts practitioner."

"Keep your mouth shut, Ashley!" Therius glared at his daughter.

"Am I wrong?" She muttered indignantly.

Just as Therius was about to berate her, Fade said, "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that I have something to do in Star City. Hence, I might not have the time to help." Hearing this, Therius couldn't help but be disappointed.

Of course, hearing this, Ashley was riled up. "Pfft, what kind of excuse is that? Clearly, you are just mad that my family didn't want to help you. How could you make it sound like you are tooting your own horn?'

"I no longer need your help to look into the person concerned. I've taken care of it myself!" Seeing how rude Ashley was being, Fade could no longer hold in his anger. Hence, he spat at her coldly. She tutted, "Stop lying to yourself. You are just a foreigner who arrived on Star Island a few days ago. How could you have looked into someone? You really need to learn how to lie better." "This doesn't concern you, Miss Zhou." He snorted.

Beside him, Therius quickly tugged at his daughter's clothes and gave her a look to shut her up.

At this moment, they heard footsteps. "Mr. Chen, you are here!"

"I've gotten a lead on what you've requested." Fade turned his head and saw that it was Tiguan. "Hold on, let's go to my room to talk." Immediately, he stood up and said to Therius, "Mr. Zhou, I have something else to attend to. Hence, I'll be leaving first."

Therius' lips twitched, intending to ask him to stay, but by this time, Fade had already turned and left.

He could only sigh and fall into his chair helplessly.

"It's all your fault!" He glared at his daughter. With a dissatisfied expression on her face, Ashley scowled. "I'm just speaking the truth. Dad, the Zhou family doesn't need his help."

"What do you know?" Therius hissed in a low voice. "Fade is more powerful than you think! Didn't you see who that was earlier? That's Tiguan of the Mad Tiger Gang!"

"He's only been here for a few days, and he's already gotten Tiguan to work for him! Is there really anything else to say?" He berated.

"Tiguan of the Mad Tiger Gang!" She was visibly surprised to hear this. After all, even though this gang wasn't that powerful, it was quite a famous organization in the underground world of Star Island. Even the Zhou family had worked with the Mad Tiger Gang in certain situations.

However, after the shock subsided, she put on an indifferent look and said, "It's just the Mad Tiger Gang, right? They are just a bunch of hooligans. It's not a big deal."

"You..." Theirus glared at his daughter. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only lift his sleeve and said, "Get up, let's go home!"

Ashley got up, but she didn't follow after him. "Dad, you go back first. I have to go on a date."

"With that playboy again? You really should stay away from men like him. If you want to get married, find someone serious and stop wasting your time," he advised. "Yes, yes, I got it." She waved her hand impatiently, got in her sports car, and left with a bang.

He stood inside the cafe with a helpless look on his face. Finally, he shook his head with a sigh and said, "I've done what I can. The future of the Zhou family is up to fate!" Over on Fade's side, he brought Tiguan to his room and questioned him directly without beating around the bush, "What did you find?"

Tiguan quickly handed over the information he found to him.

Taking the file from Tiguan, Fade flipped through the documents and his face grew serious.

The information they'd gathered had

nothing to do with Quin. However using their influence in the underground world, the Mad Tiger Gang found some information about the Skull Mob.

About two months ago, a group of Westerners flocked to Star Island. Under the pretense of looking for investors, they bribed several influential organizations from Star Island. Some of them had contacted the Mad Tiger Gang.

However, at that time, Tiguan didn't want to get involved with these Westerners. Hence, he refused them.

The Westerners didn't make things

hard for them either. They just

looked in another direction and contacted other organizations. They didn't have much contact with each other. Therefore, Tiguan didn't think too much about it.

However, the day before, Fade had asked him to look into the Skull Mob.

After some investigation, he found that these so-called Western businessmen had some form of contact with the Skull Mob.

That meant that their so-called investment and business couldn't be that simple.

Initially, Tiguan wanted to look into it further.

However, many of the organizations

that the Westerners were working with were big shots in Star Island. There was no way the Mad Tiger Gang could look into it just that simply. Moreover, Tiguan was worried about his own safety, thus, he couldn't wait to prove to Fade how hard he was working on this.

Therefore, after sorting out the information he had and adding his own deductions, he delivered whatever he had to Fade that day.

After reading, Fade nodded slightly and began to ponder.

Although the information didn't help him directly, it pointed him in a new direction.

Therefore, Fade nodded approvingly to Tiguan and said, "Well done, please continue your hard work!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Tiguan nodded quickly. Then, with an ingratiating look, he looked at Fade with hesitation. "Mr. Chen..."

Seeing this, Fade knew what he was about to say. He gently flicked his finger, and a stream of energy seeped into Tiguan's dantian abdomen.

Then, Fade said, "This energy will revert the symptoms. Just give it three days."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Thank you!" Tiguan said gratefully.

"Alright, you can leave now!" Fade waved his hand and said.

Tiguan quickly left.

Then, Fade immediately contacted Thanos and sent all the information found by Tiguan to him.

After all, it wouldn't be easy for Mad Tiger Gang to look into the other organizations, but for Thanos, it shouldn't be too hard.

Soon after, time flew by. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed and it was the day of Yenora's birthday party.

The little girl had already contacted Fade

ahead of time. After confirming the time and location, he told her that he would be there.
