However, after all, this was the mighty Fade. As soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately responded, activating the stone essence in his body to form a shield of positive energy. With a "clink" sound, the opponent's attack broke apart and dispersed into the air.

"Hey!"

The other party was obviously surprised.

Then, he immediately gathered a few more streams of energy and threw all of them at Fade's vital parts.

With this, Fade's expression darkened, and his killing intent grew stronger.

Whoosh!

He did not hesitate to make his move as the opponent tried to attack him.

Several streams of energy roared through the room, accurately targeting the other party's attack, shattering it.

This move once again surprised the opponent. Acknowledging the fact that Fade's strength was extraordinary, he immediately turned around and fled.

However, how could Fade let him go so easily? As soon as the man moved, Fade flashed towards him, leaving a residual shadow behind him.

"You want to escape?"

With a snort, Fade caught him with his large hands.

The dark figure leaned to his side immediately, trying to dodge Fade's attack.

However, Fade was even faster, subsequently changing his movements. He grabbed hold of his opponent's throat.

In an instant, the stranger couldn't move.

Fade fixed his eyes on the man in front of him.

This man was wearing a set of tight black clothes and a black mask, only revealing a pair of eyes.

Fade tore off the mask, revealing the face of an ordinary man in his thirties.

After taking a quick glance, he was sure that he did not recognize the stranger. Hence, he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" The man closed his eyes and pursed his lips, as if he would rather die than speak.

Upon seeing this, Fade snorted coldly. "Do you want to talk? I'll give you another chance. You should tell me at your own will. Perhaps it will be less painful." The corner of the man's lips turned into a devilish grin. He shook his head in refusal.

Fade did not say much after observing the man's reaction. He lightly tapped his hand on the man's body a few times, and the man could not move at all. Then, he threw him to the ground. Fade took out the silver needles that he carried with him.

As he bent over, his fingers fluttered over multiple silver needles, piercing into the man's body one by one.

At first, the stranger didn't react, and there was even a sneer of disdain on his face.

However, as the number of silver needles increased, his muscles began to twitch and a painful expression appeared on his face.

The increase of each needle doubled his pain.

Soon after, there was a bulging vein threatening to pop out on the side of his forehead. His cheeks were completely red, and his head was covered in sweat.

The immense pain made him want to scream and twitch, but he remained still due to Fade's attack.

Wave after wave of intense pain caused the stranger to faint.

However, just as quickly, Fade increased the pressure on his needles, causing the man to awaken due to the pain.

The man continued to be tortured in a cycle. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He muttered out a whine and nodded with difficulty.

"Would you like to talk now?" Fade paused his actions and looked at the man dressed in black.

The man gasped a few mouthfuls of air with difficulty and quickly nodded his head.

"Wouldn't it be better if you had spoken earlier?" Fade quickly removed the needles from the man's body.

The man's stiff body regained the freedom of movement.

"Spit it out!" Fade sat on the chair and looked at the man in front of him.

The man looked up at Fade and couldn't help but shiver. He quickly suppressed the idea of escaping and confessed, "I don't know who you are. I'm just doing this for money." "An assasination job?" Fade's eyes narrowed slightly and he continued to ask, "Who paid you?"

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know. I received a task and a deposit online, and then I came to do the job."

"Online? When? What's the specific context?"

Fade questioned.

The man did not dare to hide anything. He told Fade everything he knew, including his account and the related website.

Fade confirmed that the person in front of him was an assassin from the underground world.

These hitmen often received their tasks through the dark web and connections. After completing the task, they would get the rest of the money from the website. This kind of underground network was not unusual.

However, his hometown had always

been strict in this aspect. Hence, although Fade had heard of such things before when he was baek

home, he had never had direct

contact with them.

He didn't expect to come into contact with these people on his trip to Star Island.

Fade continued to interrogate the hitman again to make sure the man was not hiding anything else.

Besides, it was difficult to dig out the other party's information from the website.

It was almost impossible to find out who hired him through the website.

Therefore, he had to change his mind and find another way.

Soon, Fade came up with an idea.

This hitman was from Star Island, and his job mainly surrounded this area. The person who hired the man gave him a picture of Fade after he stepped foot on the Island. The

location given was also at his hotel.

As for Fade's personal strength, the description was very vague, only stating that he was probably a Heaven level expert.

According to the comprehensive information, Fade could make an assumption that the person who posted this task should be from Star Island, and was not very familiar with him.

After all, if he was from his

hometown, even if the person was unsure of Fade's real strength, there was a rumor going around that he was ablalf-Lord Level martial artist, and there were all kinds of rumors in comparison.

He had only just arrived at Star Island. With this piece of information, he could narrow down a few suspects.

First of all, Ashley from the Zhou family might have this motive after several conflicts with him.

Then, it was Wendell of the Yao family. As the second son of the Yao family, he had lost his bodyguard and his limbs were broken. It was impossible for Wendell to not hate him.

There were also people from Lion Hall. After all, Fade had once committed violence there and beat up Calvegh Huang.

Of course, there was still one last possibility, and that was the people from the Skull Mob, who could have planned this in advance.

Upon much consideration, Fade targeted Wendell as the first suspect.

He wanted to kill the hitman immediately, but at the moment, he had to spare his life.

Squinting his eyes, Fade moved from his spot, forced open the man's mouth, and put a pill into his mouth.

"Ahem, ahem... You..." The man looked at Fade in confusion and fear.

Fade stated faintly, "That's a poisoned pill. A week later, if there is no antidote, you'll die from being poisoned."

"Poison, you..." The man was shocked, but then he came to his senses. He looked at Fade and asked, "What do you want me to do?'

"You are smart!" Fade smiled. "I'll give you a task. If you succeed, I will spare your life."

"What's the task?" The man asked hurriedly.
