Fade threw the black shadow to the ground and towered over him as he demanded coldly, "Now, tell me what is your identity? You've attacked me back in Micovia and now, you even try to kill me. Who is behind all this?"
The black shadow avoided the question and muttered, "I've walked into your trap after all. You're not even wounded and your so- called "recuperation" was just an act."
"Indeed," Fade said coldly. "Now tell me everything you know and I'll spare you a quick and painless death."
The black shadow shook his head. He seemed to have foreseen his own ending and had nothing else to lose. Hence, he said with a relieved smile, "I'll die eventually, so why should I tell you?"
Fade narrowed his eyes and hissed, "Don't forget that I'm also a doctor aside from being a martial artist. If I want you to live, you don't have the option to die."
After saying so, he tapped the black shadow for a few times without really touching him.
Instantly, the black shadow's face turned red and swollen, and his expression was full of agony.
"You... What have you done to me?"
"Tell me what I want to know, or else, you will suffer ten times more," Fade warned grimly.
"Y- You can't..." The black shadow wanted to continue.
However, Fade didn't hesitate at all. Once again, he tapped the air a few times and the black silhouette seemed like he was in a greater pain. His veins started to pop out and his blood was surging vigorously in his body. He looked like a piece of cooked meat.
After a moment, Fade narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand again. "Is this not enough? We'll continue then!"
Finally, the black shadow collapsed and pleaded with a sob, "No! Please stop! I'll tell you everything I know!"
"Tell me now!" Fade demanded coldly.
After that, the black shadow spilled out everything he knew.
When he finished, Fade narrowed his eyes intimidatingly and asked, "Is that all?"
"Yes, I've told you everything. Please... Please just kill me now!" The black shadow begged, bursting into tears.
Fade waved his hand and snapped, "Well, it's just not as simple as that."
Then, he yelled in a loud and clear voice, "You guys can come in now."
A few moments later, a group of people in navy uniforms walked into the auditorium solemnly.
As soon as they walked in, the entire auditorium was filled with an aura of immense power. It was oppressive even without the emission of positive energy.
"Wh-What's with this aura? This is horrific!"
"Who are they? They seem extremely strong!"
Amidst the speculations, someone saw a symbol on the men's left shoulder of their uniform and immediately exclaimed, "Dragon Guard! That's the symbol of the Dragon Guard. They are the Dragon Guards!"
"What Dragon Guards? What are you talking about?" Many were puzzled.
He gushed in shock, "The Dragon Guard is the top-notch, mysterious team in our country. They are led by Jaguar Xu, the Army Lord himself, to handle special cases."
"Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not have the chance to witness the presence of the Dragon Guard. You know that something major has happened when you see them."
After listening to the explanation, everyone in the auditorium was shocked.
"No, Master Chen, we didn't know your identity. We didn't mean any harm. Please, we beg you, please spare us another chance..." The people of the Freedom Clan knelt on the ground and begged him.
Fade looked over and snorted coldly. His gaze fell on Faustus and he said coldly, "Are you sure it wasn't intentional? I'm afraid that's not what your guardian, President Lin, thinks!"
In an instant, the elders of the Freedom Clan all turned to Faustus.
His face was pale and he did not dare to speak at all. Sure enough, he had long known Fade's identity from the black shadow. However, greed had taken over him, and he wanted to curry favor with the black shadow so that he would get his benefits as promised.
Moreover, he was confident that Fade was injured, so he had cooperated with the black shadow wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, they had fallen into Fade's trap.
Now, it was all too late. Faustus let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in despair.
Upon seeing this, the rest of the Freedom Clan instantly turned pale.
"You guys can take care of the Freedom Clan!" Fade said to the Dragon Guard.
"Yes, Master Chen!" A member of the Dragon Guard immediately stepped forward and captured all the members of the Freedom Clan.
In the blink of an eye, the entire ballroom became dead silent. Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to meet Fade's eyes. Especially those who had mocked him a few moments ago, they were now all terrified.
It was a relief to them that Fade's gaze swept past them and finally landed on the Fang family on the stage.
At this moment, his gaze focused on the Fang family solely.
Madigan fell to his knees and kowtowed three times. "Master Chen, we were wrong. Please spare our lives."
