Kingston ordered the policemen to do a search, but Fade's car was still nowhere to be seen.

This was because Fade had already left the urban district and driving toward the outskirts where there were no street cameras.

The four thugs continued to chat. However, they noticed the change of scenery outside of the car window. Curious, they patted the driver's shoulder and asked, "Buddy, why did you leave the city? Is Master Xu waiting for us outside of town? Where are we going exactly?"

Again, Fade answered coldly, "You will know in a moment."

Fade gave the same reply, but this time, the thugs were more alert.

The long-haired gangster who was sitting in the passenger seat frowned as he turned to Fade. He asked, "Who are you exactly? Whose gang are you in?"

Fade stopped talking altogether. He stepped on the accelerator and sent the car speeding.

The gangsters felt that something was wrong. Immediately, they shouted, "Stop the car right now!"

The thug sitting in front threw himself at Fade, trying to grab the steering wheel from his hands.

Fade snorted and sent a punch his way, knocking him out. "Sit down quietly and don't move, or else I'll kill all of you."

This fierce display of strength had all three thugs in the back shocked stiff.

The roaring of the car got louder as the turns got sharper. The gangsters onboard were getting more anxious.

Finally, after half an hour's ride, the car entered an abandoned site.

Fade stopped the car and kicked the unconscious gangster out. Then, he made the other three get off.

After getting off, the other three realized that it was an abandoned kiln. In the distance, they noticed a large furnace and several large pits. Inside the furnaces was leftover coal.

The sight scared the thugs, and their expressions turned to horror.

Fade pointed at an opening in the abandoned furnace. "Stand over there."

The opening was intended for inserting coals, but now that the thugs were made to stand in it, they felt horror sweep over them. They trembled in fear.

After they took their positions, Fade, with one kick, sent the long-haired one flying over.

The unconscious thug woke from the impact when he hit the ground. As he looked around, his expression turned to confusion and he shouted, "What are you doing? If you dare to touch me, I will never let this go. I'll..."

"Shut up!" Fade shouted. The long-haired thug went quiet immediately. Fade stood in front of them and said sternly, "Whatever I ask, you shall answer. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you." Looking at his ice-cold face, no one said anything.

"Tell me, who gave you the orders to smash that woman's car and harm her?" Fade demanded frankly.

Their faces all fell within a second. It was gangsters' code to never sell their accomplices out. Betrayal was one of the worst things they could do. Because of this, they did not feel like talking. The long-haired thug retorted with his own question, "Who are you, and why are you asking us this?"

Fade replied coldly, "I am the husband of the woman you were sent to harm. Therefore, I will ask only one more time. Who is the person behind all of these?"

Once they learned of Fade's identity, they were surprised.

The leader of the pack was unwilling to give in. He looked at Fade and said, "You need to know that we can't simply sell out accomplices, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable." "Really?" Fade threw a look at them. "Well, if you don't speak up, you won't have a future."

As he said this, Fade took a big step toward the man, grabbed him by the neck, and shoved him into one of the furnaces.

Fade took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it under the furnace.

The coal began to heat up, and even though there wasn't much heat yet, the other thugs were visibly cowering. They all trembled and their knees shook. They started to plead, "Don't kill us. Don't..."

The long-haired gangster struggled to get out of the furnace, but Fade didn't give him a chance. Fade punched him straight on, and the man's face was covered with blood. He fell into the furnace and couldn't move at all.

The other three lost all their courage and they knelt in front of Fade, begging, "We will tell you anything you want. Please don't kill us."

"Then speak!" Fade said coldly.

The three gangsters quickly replied, "We are doing Master Neo's bidding. He tasked us with looking for a specific license plate. Yesterday, we finally found it and reported back to him."

"He ordered us to follow this car and look for an opportunity to capture the person driving it."

"Master Neo? Who does he work for?" Fade continued.

The three gangsters quickly replied, "Master Neo works for Master Xu. We heard that it was Master Xu who ordered us to capture her."

After hearing this, Fade immediately understood what was going on.

It all probably went back to the incident with the road block when he let them take down his license plate number. Then, Master Xu, being wicked at heart, sent people to locate the car and kidnap whomever was inside for revenge.

Thinking of this, Fade suddenly felt angry and fearful.

What angered him was that Gary Xu was indeed merciless. If Quin wasn't so lucky as to have escaped into the mall, if these hooligans really caught her, the outcome would be unfathomable.

The ensuing fear angered Fade at that moment. There was only one thing on his mind, and it was to exterminate Gary.

Suddenly, Fade looked at the gangsters and

asked, "Where does this Master Xu live?"

They were stunned. Next, they said, "We know only roughly that Master Xu resides somewhere downtown. As for the specific location, underlings like us would never know.

"Then who would know the exact address?" Fade asked coldly.

"Master Neo knows. He's our boss, so he must surely know," the gangster quickly answered.

"Where is Master Neo?" Fade asked.

The gangsters hesitated for a moment, and then they gave him Master Neo's address.

Fade wrote down the address and swiftly kicked the remaining three thugs. He threw each one of them into the furnace.

He looked around for some loose bricks to seal the opening of the furnace.

Fade got into the car and left as the coal beneath them started to burn brighter and more furiously.

The four thugs could clearly feel the heat intensify. All of them were desperate to escape.

But Fade made sure that the opening was tightly sealed and because the space inside was not big enough, they could not fully use all their strength. At that moment, they could not break out of the furnace. The temperature in the furnace got higher and higher.
