Fade was annoyed by the clamoring crowd. As he swept his eyes over the crowd, he locked eyes with Sam. Fade bellowed, "Tell me, what relationship do you have with those people?" Startled by the question, Sam acted dumb and replied, "Who? What relationship? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Fade turned around and slapped him in the face. He lifted the cloth on the stretcher, revealing Ulrick's corpse. He said icily, "He's dead. Do you wish to share the same fate as him?" Although Sam was stubborn, he was no match for Fade after all. When he saw the corpse, he trembled in fear. He frantically waved his hands, saying, "I, I, I didn't..."

"Tell me everything you know." Fade shouted.

Sam hesitated for a moment. However, when he saw the corpse, he shuddered and immediately began explaining the whole situation in detail.

It turns out that someone bribed Sam yesterday and had given him 50,000 yuan to deliberately stir trouble with them up on the mountain. Regardless of what kind of method Sam used, as long as it held back the Sun family sufficiently, he would be

paid another 50,000 yuan.

How could Sam resist 100,000 yuan? Hence, he spent the night coming up with a plan.

As soon as he realised that the Sun family had arrived, Sam made his move immediately, coming up the mountain to stir up trouble. He even planned to get the villagers involved, and that is why when Roy promised to compensate them, Sam took the opportunity to incite chaos.

As the other villagers heard the truth from him, all of them suddenly grew furious at Sam. They wanted to tear him into pieces.

"D*mn it, I came all the way here just to avenge you, but you are merely using us."

"I'm already bleeding, yet you're still making money out of us. Explain yourself. Otherwise, I'll ruin your family."

"It's a shame someone like you is our Village Head. I propose to have someone else replace you as the Village Head."

The villagers' hot-blooded opposition was overwhelming Sam.

Seeing as he can no longer glean anything useful from Sam, Fade decided to ignore the man and let the angry mob deal with him. Thereupon, he rushed down the mountain with the Sun family.

On the way down, Fade couldn't help but worry about Ulrick's sinister threat towards Quin. He immediately took out his phone and called her.

Quin picked up the phone, surprised at Fade's sudden call.

Fade heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her voice. However, he explained the situation to Quin and told her to be careful in Jade City and keep an eye out for anyone suspicious. Quin nodded and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Fade called Lucas again and asked him to tighten security around Quin. He will head to Jade City as soon as possible.

After all, this time, the opponent was not quite so simple.

Ulrick displayed a mastery of at least the early stage of Earth Level. Moreover, he had an Ice Lotus Seed with him, which was a very rare item.

It was a little worrying for Fade. To be on the safe side, he prepared to head to Jade City to personally protect his wife.

The members of the Sun family quickly returned to their home in the city. Francesca's injuries were not serious, and she would be alright after some rest.

On the other hand, Fade was more concerned about Shinnie who had fallen victim to the Ice Lotus Seed.

An Ice Lotus Seed had also been planted in Quin's body. Even someone as powerful as Fade did not know how to deal with it; the only thing he could do was to slow it down and ease its effects. Therefore, Fade diagnosed Shinnie meticulously.

After the diagnosis, Fade was slightly relieved.

Although the lotus mark on Shinnie's back and the lotus seeds in her body were very similar to the Ice Lotus, they were not actually it. Instead, they were the inferior version of the Ice Lotus.

The Snow Lotus Seed and the Ice Lotus Seed were from the same species, but the Ice Lotus Seed was far more precious than the Snow Lotus Seed. Its effects were significantly stronger as well. This goes without saying that the latter is far more difficult to treat as well.

Shinnie had been implanted with the Snow Lotus Seed. Although it wasn't as dangerous as Quin's, they were of the same species after all. It would still be troublesome for Fade.

Although Fade was able to rely on his own cultivation of the 'Nine Sun Flaming Skill' to stabilize Shinnie's condition, it was still a problem for him to heal her completely without any side effects. Therefore, Fade first inserted a stream of positive energy into her body in order to wake her up. After she awakened, he would look for suitable medicine to treat her condition. Having explained the situation to Francesca, she was furious yet worried at the same time. Fade comforted her, saying that he would think of something but he had to leave first. After returning home, Fade called Franklin of the Lightning Clan in Westamor District. He explained the situation to him and asked if he could look for suitable medicine for him.

After all, Franklin helped Fade to manage the Dragon Source Herb Farm. It was naturally easier for him to search for such medicine as he would frequently be in contact with others in the profession. Franklin promised to try his best in searching for the medicines.

After making arrangements with Franklin, Fade gave some serious thought on who else he could approach for help on the matter.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Fade's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Lucas was the one calling him. He immediately picked up the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lucas, on the other end, said hurriedly, "Mr. Chen,

bad news. President Lin is in trouble."

"What!" Fade was shaken to his core, "Didn't I tell you to protect her? How could this happen? Did someone ambush her?"

Lucas hurriedly explained, "Mr. Chen, it's not like that. No one attacked President Lin. It's her illness. Now, she's shivering non-stop. I've already approached one of the famous doctors in Jade City, but it seems that he was unable to treat her."

Upon hearing this, Fade immediately thought of the Ice Lotus Seed in Quin's body and couldn't help but think of the recent incident which led to Shinnie being implanted with the Snow Lotus Seed.

Fade's voice lowered, "Keep an eye on Quin for now. I'll go to Jade City right away."

"Yes, Mr. Chen. I will protect Miss Lin with my life," Lucas said firmly.

"Thank you. I was too anxious just now, and my words were a little harsh. Please don't mind me."

"Mr. Chen, you are too serious. You don't have to apologize to me."

"Well, I'll rush to Jade City right away." Fade hung up the phone.

He immediately got up and packed his luggage, rushing straight to the airport.

On the way, Fade made several phone calls, informed his relatives and friends of his schedule, and then told them something. Then, he called Franklin again and told him about the Ice Lotus Seed, telling him to keep a lookout for further information on medicinal materials.

When he arrived at the airport, Fade immediately booked and boarded the next flight to Jade City.
