Darkblood Guard spat blood before speaking slowly, "I'm a member of Skull Mob. My goal is to look for people with special bloodlines and collect their blood for our use."
"Use their blood? In what way? Who wants to use it? Fade asked.
Darkblood Guard replied, "It's my boss, Dark Dragon. I'm not sure how he uses it but I think he uses it for research purposes to increase his ability or something like that."
"Dark Dragon!"
When he heard that name, Fade's expression changed.
That was because he had heard of the name from the hidden families. He was the man who tried to kill his mother-in-law, Chrystal, when she obtained the Nine-blood Pill.
It seemed that his guess was correct. Chrystal had witnessed Skull Mob holding a blood ritual on a small island. Dark Dragon should have been using a blood rite to refine the Nine-blood Pill.
That year, she took away the Nine-blood Pill and Dark Dragon chased after her, but now, he was sending his subordinates to collect blood for his
own use.
From the looks of it, Dark Dragon's cultivation method had something to do with blood. It could even be an evil method which used the blood of living people.
"What's the deal with Dark Dragon?" Fade asked.
Darkblood Guard froze before replying, "Dark Dragon's my boss and is very powerful. He has more than ten subordinates like me. Their goals are to collect special bloodlines from all around the world."
Dark Dragon was very powerful, having more than ten subordinates at the initial stage of the Heaven Level. Fade felt that he had to be vigilant.
Then, Fade asked about matters regarding Dark Dragon and Skull Mob. Darkblood Guard briefed him on these matters but they were only about the outer circles. He didn't know much about what Fade wanted to know regarding Dark Dragon.
When Fade finished questioning Darkblood Guard, he beckoned Thamar and the others.
Thamar took a deep breath and contained his fear and anger for Darkblood Guard, before asking, "Why did you kill my son Eastin ten years ago?"
This was an answer the Geng family wanted to know the most.
Darkblood Guard replied, "There's no reason. It's just because Eastin's blood is of use to us so I acted. As for the Geng family, you're quite powerful and were quite useful to us for developing and hiding locally, so we left you alone."
When he heard this, Thamar's expressions changed and one couldn't see what he was thinking.
The other members of the Geng family fell silent too.
The humongous disaster of the Geng family and the mountain pressuring them for more than ten years was merely caused by a whim of the other party.
There was a huge difference in the results, causing Thamar and the others to feel furious and indignant. However, in the end, these feelings changed into a limitless helplessness.
That was because they were stronger than them, so a small action could oppress the Geng family for more than ten years without them daring to retaliate.
This was their sorrowful reality.
In the end, the Geng family could only sigh when they knew the inside story of Eastin's death but they couldn't do anything more about it.
At this time, Fade helped Jenski regain
consciousness.
Derex and Hiro stood by the side with apologetic smiles. They held wine glasses in both hands and toasted Fade as an apology.
He sipped lightly and waved his hand, ending the matter.
Finally, Thamar looked at him. After apologizing and thanking him, he told Fade, "Mr. Chen, from now on, in East Coast City, the Geng family will follow your orders and yours alone."
These words held so much weight that even Derex and Hiro didn't expect it.
After all, it was equivalent to Thamar giving Fade control over the Geng family. Although they owed a great debt to him, it was still hard to compare with this matter.
Fade looked at Thamar and took up his glass calmly, "I understand your mind, Master Geng. If I need the help of the Geng family in the future, I won't stand on ceremony."
"The Geng family is obligated," Thamar toasted him.
After speaking their minds, the atmosphere at the dining table became warmer.
Finally, when they were mellowed with drinks, Thamar brought up the matter of the Ernest Company, "Mr. Chen, the Ernest Company's opening ceremony is in three days and you haven't talked it out with the Qin family. Do you need the Geng family to..."
Hearing this, Fade thought for a moment before shaking his head, "Since the Qin family doesn't wish to cooperate, then let's forget it. The Ernest Company can still continue operating without them."
If he said this before that day, Thamar and the others would have thought that he was arrogant and looked at him with disdain.
However, they had seen his terrifying strength and the entire Geng family trusted him wholeheartedly.
Later, after the banquet, Thamar and the whole Geng family saw Fade to the door and sent someone to send him back.
