Fade mumbled, "I'm not certain, but it's better to be careful. After all, you faced so much obstruction with preserving your grandfather and mother. I'm afraid that some people might not be as simple as they seem."
Earlier, the group of elders had been obstructing Fade from his examination desperately, thus this made him doubtful.
Upon being reminded by Fade, Liza started having flashbacks, and her expression turned serious.
Seeing this, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too nervous. Now, I am on your side, and I will protect you."
"Thank you Fade." She nodded to him and thanked him sincerely.
"Well, then you have a good rest. I will leave first." He smiled, then turned around and was about to head out.
However, just as he was about to leave the room, she suddenly stopped him, "Fade, wait a minute!"
"Liza, what's wrong?" He turned around and glanced at her.
Liza looked at him, took a deep breath and said,
"Fade, I have a question for you. Can you come up with an antidote for my grandfather and my mother's poison?"
Hearing this, Fade could not help but be dumbfounded. Looking into her eyes, he paused for a moment before opening his mouth, "Although it is a rare toxin, with enough medicinal materials, I have an eighty percent chance of making an antidote."
Hearing this, her expression was a little strange. She breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be relieved. However, from her expression, it could still be seen that she was too regretful.
"Liza, I..." He wanted to comfort her.
She smiled and replied, "Fade, I'm fine. I'm worried that the killer might use this kind of poison to hurt people again. If there isn't an antidote I'm afraid that you might get hurt too, so..."
Hearing this, he was touched and he said, "Don't worry, this kind of poison doesn't pose a threat to me. I'll go and get a batch of antidotes ready."
"Well, thank you." Liza smirked and nodded to Fade, watching him leave the room.
Immediately, she sat down on the sofa, and she started to tear up. She whispered, "Why, why were mom and grandpa so unlucky? If I had already been friends with Fade back then..."
At this moment, he had walked out of her room. Although she tried to suppress her sobbing sounds, for Fade, who had a keen sense of hearing, he still heard her sobs clearly.
However, right at the moment, there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh softly and walk away.
However, before he had gone far, a figure stopped in front of him. Looking up, he found that it was Eichi who had stopped in front of him.
Looking at his gloomy face, Fade asked indifferently, "Mr. Uchida, what's the matter?"
Eichi gritted his teeth and glared at him, saying, "Fade, I don't care what kind of conspiracy you used to deceive Liza, but I warn you, if you want to live, leave Liza and Jopeno as soon as possible. This is not a place for you to stay."
Hearing this, Fade could not help but frown and uttered unpleasantly, "Mr. Uchida, I am a guest invited by Miss Liza. Is this how the Hachi Clan's people welcome their guests?"
"What kind of guest are you? You're just a good-for-nothing nobody," Eichi said word by word, gritting his teeth.
"But Dad, I..." Eichi was full of anger and grievance.
However, Narumi was determined. "Apologize immediately. Otherwise, you are no longer welcome in the Hachi Clan."
Faced with his determined father, Eichi had to bow his head and apologize to Fade unwillingly.
In order to show the other party his respect, he had to respond. Thus, Fade responded with a snort.
Such an attitude almost made Eichi erupt again, but he was suppressed by a look from Narumi.
Narumi bowed and apologized to Fade personally. "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. It's my lack of discipline towards my subordinates and my son. I apologize on his behalf. Please forgive us."
"It's not a big deal. Master Uchida, you're too polite." After all, he was Liza's elder, and he had shown his respect by bowing to him. Therefore, Fade had to show his respect for them too.
Then, Narumi left in a hurry with Eichi.
As soon as they left, Kenji came to Fade's side with a smirk on his face and he was inches away from him. He said, "Mr. Chen, please don't hold a grudge for what just happened. In fact, Mr. Eichi has no malice."
"Really?" Fade raised his eyebrows, and his expression was a little unbelievable.
When Kenji saw this, he knew that Fade was still unhappy. He quickly lowered his voice and explained, "Mr. Chen, the reason why Mr. Eichi would possibly do such a reckless thing is because of Liza."
"It's because of Liza?" Fade had a puzzled look on his face.
