Fade Chen looked straight into Fairman Gu's eyes and observed his expressions to make sure that he wasn't lying. Then, he sneered coldly, "Get your followers to look for Quin at once. If anything happens to her, you will die. If there's even so much as half a lie in your story, you will die."

"I, I'll dispatch my men, right now!" Fairman shouted, as he endured the pain that he was feeling. "I swear to God that I'm not lying, I swear,"he said.

"I hope you are not!" Fade snarled. Then, he left the conference room in a flash.

The room fell silent, except for the sound of Fairman crying out in pain as he made the call.

Everyone else in the room could not believe what they had just witnessed in front of their eyes.

Marco Ji was quivering in fear right now, and he couldn't even bring himself to look up. If he lifted his head, he would see the bloody scene in front of him. He was fearful that the next time something like this happens, it'll be him on the floor instead.

Marco's father, who was standing beside him, was livid and regretful. He wanted nothing more than to beat the crap out of his son right now.

It was Marco's usual habit to cause problems in his dealings, but he didn't expect Marco to provoke such a ruthless man. His own father was now involved. If Fade were to come back and discover what the Ji Family had been doing behind his back, they would never be able to get out of this mess alive.

After all, they were the first to stand up to support Fairman's plan to drive Fade out.

The other corporate financial groups were scared to death as well. They were traumatized and anxious.

Eileen Yao's father felt nothing but extreme remorse. His daughter had asked him to speak on behalf of Fade,and even begged him, but he didn't agree with her. He lost his only chance of gaining leverage with Fade.

Everyone in the conference room was silent, as they feared for their lives. Fade left the room in fury, and his heart was racing. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

He blamed himself for his carelessness. He had trusted Fairman, a total stranger, wholeheartedly. He had left his wife alone. In the end, he had fallen into the enemy's trap, and his wife was in imminent danger "30 minutes, they have left 30 minutes ago. I need to act quick, before I lose track of them entirely," Fade thought to himself He was concerned, but he also felt helpless, because he couldn't figure out which way they had taken her.

The small town was surrounded by hills in three directions, with a main road leading toward the outside world. They could have left town in a car by taking the main road, or they could have just taken Quin Lin straight into the forest.

Just as Fade was feeling anxious, there was a ray of light in the direction of the forest. The ray of light was shot into the sky from a distance away.

It was a crimson flame. It flew straight into the sky and erupted into brilliant sparks.

Something in Fade's eyes lit up when he saw the blaze. He was overcome with joy, "She's right there,"he thought to himself. He quickened his pace, until he turned into a shadow, and he ran in its direction. The flames were a little trick that Fade had sneaked into the Ice Silk Sacred Figs amulet, to function either as an alarm or a deterrent.

Whoever took her might have accidentally triggered the amulet, which caused the sparks to erupt and in turn acted as a signal to him.

Yet at the same time, this meant that Quin was in grave danger.

Meanwhile, four men in black robes and skull masks were carrying an unconscious young woman at the moment, navigating guickly through the woods.

One of them had accidentally tripped over the bracelet on Quin's wrist, which caused the eruption of the crimson flame a moment ago.

All four of them were stunned. The other three were enraged, and they glared at the person who had set off the trigger by accident. "What the fuck did you do? You should've been careful!"

"Everything was great. We were quiet. Did you have to transmit a direct signal to him? What are we supposed to do now?"

"Should we switch routes? Or do you want to keep moving forward on this route?"

Displeased, the person who was reproached retorted, "Sure, it was my fault. But there's no need to be nervous. Where is that Fade? Maybe he didn't even notice?" "Besides, so what if he noticed it, and he caught up to us? We're all Black Level masters at the middle stage, so why should we be scared if we're all in this together?" "Number two, it was your mistake. Stop making excuses for yourself. Speed up guys, we will follow the original route," Number One, the captain of the four, said. Number Two muttered something under his breath, but he picked up the pace obediently, moving forward.

Behind them, Fade deployed his skill at the Heaven Level, moving at the speed of lightning. No one could pinpoint his exact whereabouts, and he was as light as the wind blowing. He was like an illusion as he drifted through the entire Fuma Town, chasing after Quin.

The four skull-masked figures were moving quicker, having picked up their pace. However, they were still not as fast as Fade.

After another five minutes, they noticed the aura of an intimidating warrior approaching them from behind.

They couldn't help but feel suffocated as they turned their heads around, only to see a drifting shadow coming in their direction.

The captain, Number One, ordered decisively, "Stop now. He's coming. Get ready to battle him."

They quickly put down Quin, who was unconscious, and arranged themselves into a diamond formation. They were ready to confront Fade, who was getting closer by the minute.

Fade finally caught up to them, and he had probed their auras as well. His face turned cold as he dashed toward Number Two who was positioned on one end of the diamond formation. He had a murderous intent in his eyes.

Number One felt this intent and his heart skipped a beat, and he cursed silently. He quickly bellowed, "Number Two, step back. Number Three and Number Four, attack from his left and right sides." Number Three and Number Four made moves immediately, and they bolted toward Fade diagonally from the other end of the diamond formation.

Number Two didn't retreat like he was ordered to. Instead, he darted in Fade's direction, gritting his teeth tightly.

His Captain, Number One, who was standing behind him saw what he was trying to do and couldn't help but call him hastily, "Number Two, what are you doing? Come back here now!"

Number Two only answered, "Captain, I know a way that we can save trouble. We can advance at the same time, and just take him out from there. Just wait and see!"

Number Two was directly facing Fade. He was also standing in front, so he was easily the closest to Fade.

He sprung forward and was the first to come close to Fade. There was barely a distance of five hundred meters between them now, and Number Two could clearly see the concerned and cold expression on Fade's face.

He smirked under his mask. Then, a skeletonlike claw emerged from his palm, with light reflecting from it. Glowering at Fade, he rushed toward him directly.

"Go to hell!" Number Two roared and grabbed onto Fade's chest with his Skeleton Claw. Fade was surrounded by a gust of powerful energy. If someone were to be hit by this energy, it might cause their stomachs to erupt.
