At this moment, Momo rushed up and pulled Fade back. She whispered, "Fade, what are you doing? Why did you do that?"
He replied, "I'm telling the truth. It's just that they don't believe it."
She paused before frowning. "Fade, what do you mean, that..."
Before she could finish, Hillary and the others had already opened the coffin. Fade pushed Momo behind him immediately and reminded her, "You and your classmates, stay away from here. Don't get too close. It may be dangerous."
"Fade, this..." She still wanted to ask more questions, however, he had already walked away. She could only believe in his words, and go somewhere further away with her classmates.
With a thud, the lid of the coffin was opened. Hillary and the others helped the old man up.
"Dad, are you okay?"
"Dad, are you feeling any discomfort?"
His sons and daughters immediately asked with concern.
At this moment, the old man didn't reply. He stood there in a daze, like a motionless puppet.
However, the old man's face was getting redder. There was a healthy reddish glow to his face previously, but now, it looked bloody-red. It looked like he had applied a layer of blood onto his face, which looked very odd.
Moreover, the color seemed to gradually have become darker, as if blood was about to gush out from the old man's face.
Such a bizarre scene sent a chill down everyone's spine, and they could not help but take a few steps back.
Just then, Fade noticed the monk pointing at the old man with his finger. Energy flew out from his fingertip and entered the old man's body.
Fade's expression fell as he shouted, "Be careful, all of you! Get out of the way!"
The others were shocked, and they stepped back instinctively.
However, the few who were supporting the old man did not manage to react in time. When Hillary saw Fade rushing over once again, she couldn't help but scold him, "Brat, what is going on with you..."
Before she could finish her words, a shrill scream echoed in the room.
She turned around and saw that her father, whom she was holding on to, had bitten her younger brother's neck suddenly. The enormous force had caused the old man's teeth to pierce through the man's skin, and he tore off a piece of flesh.
The man covered his neck, and his blood kept flowing out. He was screaming out in pain.
The red-faced old man chewed the flesh in large mouthfuls and swallowed it.
Upon seeing such a scene, everyone was horrified. They screamed in horror and ran away in a hurry.
Even Hillary was a little scared at the moment. She couldn't help but ask, "A-Are you my father?"
The old man who swallowed the blood and flesh did not answer. His eyes were scarlet, as if his blood was about to drip out. He let out a roar, opened his mouth, and tried to bite Hillary.
She dodged hurriedly, but her arm was still bitten. A piece of flesh was torn off in an instant. The pain made her scream and fall to the ground.
The old man did not stop moving. Instead, he leaned over and was about to continue biting her.
Fade rushed over and slammed out a palm to push the old man back. He pushed Hillary, who was injured, to the side and ordered in a harsh voice, "Leave, all of you. Don't come anywhere near."
The crowd was in an uproar. Their eyes were filled with panic as they fled quickly.
He had actually chosen to run away.
Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help laughing. "This monk is really crafty. After seeing the burnt-up corpse, he knew that he was no match for me.
He still pretended to attack and he escaped unexpectedly at a critical moment."
"If I was an ordinary person, there is a chance that you could have escaped. Unfortunately, I'm Fade," he snorted. He stood where he was without any movement. He only stretched out his right hand.
A giant hand condensed by the positive energy flew over in the air and fell from the sky. It grabbed the monk's neck, pulled him back, and threw him onto the ground.
"You want to escape? Do you think you will manage to do so?" Fade gazed at the monk on the ground.
"Tell me, who the hell are you? Where did you learn the skill to make a blood corpse? What is your purpose?" Fade asked coldly.
"I'll talk. I'll talk. Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything," the monk hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Then do it!" Fade shouted coldly.
"My name is Monk Konann, I am..." As soon as the monk opened his mouth and said his name, he choked. His eyes widened instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he fell to the ground, motionless.
Upon seeing this, Fade bent down quickly to examine him, and he found that Monk Konann's breath had been cut off. He was dead.
Fade frowned and looked into the distance. His heart was ice- cold as he muttered to himself, "Who is hiding behind Monk Konann, and what sort of secrets are they hiding?"
The police came and cordoned off the scene for investigation. Fade cooperated with them to make a statement. Then, he left with Momo and drove back home.
