When Ralph saw this, his eyes darkened in fury. He shouted, "You're courting death!" "Go to h*ll!" With a shout, Ralph's tremendous fist collided with Fade's index finger.

With his majestic strength, Ralph was expecting to be able to shatter Fade's index finger, and even his right arm. However, what happened next completely shook him to the core.

Despite having punched Fade's finger with all his strength, the impact of the punch had been completely blocked.

At that moment, he felt as if his fist had collided against a hard steel wall instead of a mere index finger. He could not even push it forward at all.

"How could this be..." Ralph was shocked. He looked at Fade in horror.

Fade shook his head slightly and then coldly taunted, "Is that all you've got?"

"You" Ralph gritted his teeth. He was going to use all his might to strike against Fade.

However, at that moment, Fade gently nudged his finger forward. With just one small movement, a majestic force gushed out and overpowered Ralph. His body was blown away, and he was slammed against the wall of the private room. Ralph spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fade walked over and looked down at Ralph coldly as he said, "Tell me, why does your master want me to leave Hamlin City?"

Ralph replied, "Nothing much. My master just doesn't like you."

"He just doesn't like me?" Fade's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he changed his question. "Is it because the people of the Skull Mob are from your master's family, the Han family? Is that why he doesn't like me?"

When he heard the words "the Skull Mob", Ralph's eyes lit up in a flash. He immediately denied it and said, "What Skull Mob? I don't know what you're talking about. My master is old and doesn't like large commotions. So, he doesn't want you to come to Hamlin City and disrupt his peace and quiet."

"If he doesn't like any commotions, he should leave and go reside in a mountain instead. Who does he think he is? How dare he tell Mr. Chen to leave!" Andy shouted.

Ralph glared fiercely at Andy, "How dare you insult my master! I-" However, before he could finish his words, Fade had already squatted down and grabbed his neck. He said, "Tell me, how many members of the Skull Mob are still in the Han Family? Is Yohannes' body still in there?"

"What did you say? I don't understand. I don't know what the Skull Mob is, I Ralph was still denying it.

Fade grabbed Ralph's neck forcefully and said to him coldly, "I will not waste time listening to your lies. If you don't tell me now, I will kill you and go to the Han Family directly."

"My master has great strength. Even if you went after him, you would only die," Ralph said with his eyes wide open.

Fade's eyes turned cold, but he did not say much. He put more force into his grip as he held Ralph by the neck.

All of a sudden, Ralph was suffocating. The air in his chest was being squeezed out little by little, and his cheeks were visibly red. His vision started to blur, and he could not see clearly anymore. "You have five seconds left. If you don't speak, you won't have a chance anymore," Fade said coldly.

"Five... Four..." Fade started to count.

Fade's countdown was like an approaching God of Death. Every time he spoke, the God of Death marched closer and closer towards Ralph. Ralph could feel that his end was near. At that moment, he was truly fearful. He broke down, struggling as he said, "I will speak! I will speak..."

Fade loosened his grip and threw Ralph onto the ground. "Speak!" He commanded.

Ralph touched his neck and coughed violently for a while before he could speak, "I don't know about the Skull Mob you mentioned, but there are indeed a few people with Skeleton Masks who would often appear in the Han Family. Recently, the two men had even brought back a corpse. It was the body of Yohannes, just as you've said."

When the information was confirmed, Fade's expression sank. He prodded further about what he had just been told, "You said the word 'often'. What do you mean by that? Has your master been involved with the Skull Mob before this?"

Ralph's face stiffened and he paused for a moment. Then, he said, "Indeed, ever since Master had taken in me and my junior brother as his disciples three years ago, the people wearing the Skeleton Masks would often come and go around the Han Family."

Fade could not help but frown. It seemed that the Skull Mob's involvement in Hamlin City had begun much earlier than he had expected. They did not appear out of nowhere, but instead, they had already established their own stronghold in Hamlin City a long time ago. Now, it would seem that Jarred's manor was definitely their hideout.

"For the past three years, What has the Skull Mob been doing, and what did they talk about in Jarred's home?" Fade asked.

Ralph shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"If you don't tell us the truth, you-" Andy shouted angrily.

Ralph hurriedly explained, "I really don't know. The people with the Skeleton Masks would always speak to our master in private. Everything they discussed, they did it behind closed doors. We really didn't know what they were talking about."

Fade stared at Ralph's eyes and felt that he was telling the truth. Fade was silent for a while, and then he thought of something. He asked, "What did you and your junior brother do for Jarred in the past three years?"

At that question, Ralph's face went stiff, and he looked displeased. He did not want to speak.

"Tell me!" Fade shouted.

Ralph was shocked, then he said, "In the beginning, my master asked me and my junior brother to kidnap some people for him."

"Some people? Who?" Fade continued to ask.

Ralph said, "In the beginning, we just targeted some wandering men or some lonely elderly people in the countryside. No one would notice if they disappeared. After that, our master asked us to kidnap some young people, so we also nabbed a few of them."

"This... This is abduction! How dare you commit such a heinous act!" Boss Chiao roared.

Fade's face darkened. Vaguely, he seemed to have realized something as he asked, "Where are the people you captured?"

Ralph shook his head and said, "I don't know. Every time we caught someone, they would be locked up in the manor. A few days later, they would disappear. They were probably taken away by the people with the Skeleton Masks."

Fade went silent for a while. He recalled that Yohannes had secretly asked the members of the Skull Mob to kidnap people, in order to improve his strength. Jarred must have been doing the same thing. At that thought, Fade looked at Ralph with anger, and a killing intent in his eyes.

Ralph looked at Fade's horrifying expression and could not help but shudder. He quickly begged for mercy, "That's all I know. I really don't know anything else. Please, don't kill me! I-"

At that moment, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed the name of "Carter". Ralph seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face changed greatly.
