Two hours later, Fade and Quin arrived at the Liang family's mansion.
After parking the car and opening the door, Fade held Quin's hand and walked into the manor. The whole manor was quiet. The antique wooden attic in the deepest part of the manor stood still; the whole place was very quiet.
However, the quieter it was, the more vigilant Fade became.
He tightened his grip on Quin's hand and told her in a low voice, "If you run into any danger later, hide behind me."
"Alright." She nodded and began to circulate her positive energy.
Although her progress in martial arts cultivation had been a little slow because she had been trapped in Micovia for some time, she was still quite talented in martial arts, so she had made some progress.
Now, her martial arts strength had reached the late stage of Black Level. Among ordinary people, she could be regarded as the No.1 master.
Step by step, they arrived in front of the wooden door. Fade pushed open the half-closed wooden
door.
With the creaking sound of friction, the sun shone into the house, which made his eyes light up. The scene in the house appeared in front of him.
Ogen was sitting on the seat in the middle of the hall, but at that moment, he was tied tightly to the chair by a large rope. His mouth was also taped, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.
On both sides of Ogen's seat, there were a few old men tied up.
Fade fixed his eyes on them and immediately recognized them. These people were the old men who had helped him in Sincere Medicine Center, including Dr. Zhu, who had been taken away.
Given the situation, his face instantly turned gloomy. He stepped forward and wanted to save Ogen and the others.
However, just as Fade moved, a cold and arrogant voice sounded, "Mr. Chen, why are you in such a hurry?"
"If you want them to survive, I'd advise you to calm down."
After that, a middle-aged man in a grayish-brown robe came out with his hands behind his back.
At the same time, men in smartly dressed suits came out from the side, holding daggers and putting them against the necks of the old people.
They looked threatening as they looked at Fade.
"You..." In an instant, Fade's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "What's the matter? Just come at me and let go of Ogen and the others."
"Mr. Chen, do you think that I'm a fool? Who doesn't know that you are a martial artist and the champion of the competition? Letting these old guys go, I'm afraid that we are no match for you!" The man in the long robe said.
Hearing this, Fade's gaze grew even deeper. It seemed that the other party had specially investigated him and knew him quite well.
"Since you know my strength, the best thing to do now is to surrender immediately. Perhaps, I can consider sparing your lives," Fade said coldly.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, are you really so confident?" The man in the long robe laughed, and then his tone changed. "But Mr. Chen, have you ever thought about it? We know your strength, and we still choose to fight. Don't you think we have a backup plan?"
After a moment of silence, Fade didn't waste his time talking nonsense. Instead, he asked directly, "Then let's get straight to the point. What do you want?"
The man in the long robe was slightly surprised, and then he smiled. "I didn't expect you, Mr. Chen,
to be such a straightforward person."
"You..." Fade frowned with a look of anger on his face.
The man in the robe said, "Don't scare me, Mr. Chen. It would be terrible if I hurt an old man just because my hands trembled."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Fade said in a low voice, "Tell me, what else do you want?"
The man deliberately prolonged his tone and paused for a few seconds. Then he slowly said, "The second condition is actually very simple, that is, Mr. Chen, you destroy your own dantian abdomen."
"Destroy my own dantian abdomen by myself!" Fade raised his eyebrows and coldly snorted, "That's impossible."
Destroying one's own dantian abdomen was equivalent to destroying all the martial arts cultivation in his body, which would make Fade become an ordinary person. Once he lost the strong martial force to support him, he doubted that these people would let him go alive.
When that time came, he wouldn't even be able to know the cause of his death.
However, at this moment, the man in the long robe opposite him, with a disappointed expression, shook his head and then sighed. "It seems like you are not as selfless as you claimed!"
"Sir, you've all seen it. Mr. Chen didn't want to save you. After you go to the afterworld and have to pay for what you've done, you all can go and find Mr. Chen."
The man in the long robe sighed in a lamenting tone, and then he waved his hand with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
Immediately, the people under his command began to move, and with the strength of their daggers, they cut the necks of several old men.
In an instant, the old men's eyes were full of horror and despair.
The long-robed man opposite Fade smiled and looked cruelly at him. Of course, there was a hint of confidence in his eyes. He believed that in this situation, Fade would definitely give in, because he had no other choice.
