A trace of anger flashed across Mathilda's eyes. "If that is the case, then we should take action immediately without delay,"
After she said that, she turned to Hamilton.
His expression was sullen. Worry, anger, and anxiety were etched into the corners of his eyes as he replied, "But we are not prepared. If we do it now, it will fail, and our family will be done for."
Tiana then reassured him confidently, "Dad, you don't have to worry about this. Last year, I traveled with my master and met a friend from abroad. His family is very powerful. If we take action, they will help us."
"A foreign family?" Hamilton asked in confusion.
Tiana immediately responded, "Dad, I have secretly investigated this friend. He is trustworthy. Of course, it's up to you to decide how things will go. I will invite my friend for a meeting, and you can talk to him as well."
"This..." He was still a little worried and hesitant.
Mathilda's attitude was much firmer. "What are you still hesitating about? Don't you want to avenge your son's death? Moreover, Jaguar has already forced us to do this. There's no way for us to turn back now." "I..." After hesitating, Hamilton finally nodded his head and agreed. "I will speak with him."
Tiana nodded and added, "Okay Dad, I will contact my friend and make an appointment as soon as possible to talk about the details. During this period of time, you should also do your preparations at home."
"Okay!" He nodded.
Mathilda smiled and said to her daughter, "Tiana, your brother is gone. Now, this family will depend on you."
"Dad, Mom. Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Long family." Tiana nodded firmly before she left.
Hamilton and Mathilda then began issuing orders in the wake of the preparation. The Long family soon got busy.
Even though the trial garnered the attention of many, the news did not spread widely across Capital City due to Jaguar's presence.
Fade went straight to find Kelly the next day.
Because of Tiana's withdrawal from the team, Kelly's current situation was a little awkward. She could not stay with her senior in the Long family home, but she was not familiar with other contestants. In addition, she was introverted, so she was more reserved. She could only stay in the hotel offered by the Clan Committee.
In the morning, Kelly sat in front of the bed and looked at the view of the city outside, which was gradually becoming lively. She seemed lost.
What should she do next? Should she leave the team with her senior, Tiana, or stay and wait for the competition to begin?
No matter her choice, it was difficult for Kelly. Moreover, she was also an indecisive person.
"Do you want me to go back to my clan and explain the situation to my master? I want them to decide what to do next!"
Just when Kelly was thinking with her head down, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled her.
After being stunned for a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Fade!" A serious voice came from outside the door.
"Ah, Fade, you... How did you..." Upon hearing Fade's name, Kelly was very surprised.
Along the way, he maintained a cold expression. He even lectured her, making her so terrified that she dared not say anything in return.
They drove for over two hours before they reached a forest outside of Capital City.
After they got out of the car, Fade started walking towards the mountains without halting. Kelly did not dare to dally as she hurriedly followed suit.
He walked at a fast pace, and after two hours, they were deep into the forest. Thick bushes and tall trees surrounded them, concealing any traces of movements. All they could hear was the chirp of birds.
"Why would we be here for special training? There aren't any facilities, nor are there any staff members around! It doesn't look like a place made for training!" Kelly thought to herself in confusion.
However, when she glanced at Fade's cold expression, she did not dare to question anything.
Finally, he stopped in his tracks and stated, "We're here!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and then looked around. She looked at him timidly and asked, "Is this the place where we're going to train? There aren't any facilities around."
Upon hearing that, he suddenly turned around and grinned at her sinisterly. "Who said that we're here fortraining?"
"Huh?" She looked at him in confusion. "Mr. Chen, didn't you claim that these were our superiors' orders? There was even a document..."
"The document, huh! Anyone could obtain something like that from a printing shop, who knew that you would trust me just like that." A cruel smirk adorned his face as he tore the papers apart and walked towards her.
