On the other hand, in the Zhou family's manor, Therius hung up the phone, sighed and said, "He really didn't agree to the proposal."
Standing beside him was Ashley, whose face was bruised, spat with hatred and confusion, "Dad, I was beaten by him, yet you still want to invite him to our Zhou family?"
"That's because you went too far this time." He glared at his daughter.
She answered discontentedly, "How am I going too far? I even helped her, but Yenora didn't appreciate it and allowed Fade to hit me. It's clearly her fault."
"Although Yenora is an illegitimate daughter and has yet to receive the family's official recognition, she is still your cousin and you should treat her like your sister. You still need to be aware of your manners when it comes to these things," he advised her with a frown on his face.
She wanted to further argue with him, but he continued, "Besides, you took Gaubert out with you this time, and he was seriously injured. Master Chai is displeased. You'd better come with me to apologize to him."
"No..." She was about to refuse.
However, he ordered in a deep voice, "This is your grandfather's wish."
She knew that her grandfather, Ballous Zhou, had a very high status in the Zhou family. Hence, she dared not say anything.
A day later, Fade, who was resting in the hotel, received a call from Thanos, saying that he had found some relevant information and requested to meet him so that they could talk in detail.
After agreeing with the venue, he went out immediately.
An hour later, he appeared in a lively bar.
Carolus, who had contacted him previously, now took the role of a middle person, leading him through the lively crowd as they went deeper into the bar.
Fade looked around at the bustling crowd surrounding him along with the constant resounding music in his ear. He could not help but ask, "Does Mr. Li like to meet up in this kind of place?"
Carolus explained, "The workforce here is complicated. To us, it's a good disguise for our identity."
"I see!" Fade nodded and followed him into a private room.
They knocked on the door and entered the private room. Thanos immediately stood up to greet Fade as they entered. "Mr. Chen, you are here!"
"Mr. Li, what kind of information have you found?" Fade did not hesitate to get straight to the point.
Thanos didn't intend to hide anything either. He waved his hand and ordered his men to take out a stack of information that they found.
As he flipped through the stack of documents, he explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, according to the clues of the Mad Tiger Gang that you've provided, we initiated a deeper investigation."
"Now, we can confirm that your wife, Quin Lin, is indeed in Star City. We have found a screenshot of her on surveillance footage."
"At the same time, we were able to conclude another thing. The members of the Skull Mob have also entered Star City, and they've even started setting up their layout. Moreover, we speculated that they've contacted quite a few local forces in Star City. They are probably targeting the Lion God of War's tomb, which will be open soon."
With that, Thanos handed the pile of information to Fade so that he could read it carefully.
He thoroughly studied it at a glance and then he turned over the information about his wife, Quin, several more times to catch any details.
His eyes became a little cold. “Skull Mob, Dark Dragon, you'd better not hurt Quin. Otherwise..."
"Mr. Chen, you..."
The coldness that Fade subconsciously emanated from his body almost made Thanos unable to withstand it.
Upon noticing this. Fade hurriedly held back his aura and said, "Mr. Li, how's your injury? I'll check it again for you!"
"I'll be grateful if you could, Mr. Chen," Thanos said.
"It’s nothing!" Fade replied. He then checked Thanos' pulse and fixed a few needles on his body.
Then, they hugged each other and entered a private room.
Fade, who was hiding in the dark, darkened his expression when he saw this scene.
According to Jayvon and the woman's conversation, Jayvon turned out to be a spy sent by the Yao family to Ashley. It seemed that he was ordered to spy on the Zhou family and provide information on the feud between the two families.
If this was the case, Fade would not care too much.
After all, he had no feelings for Ashley and the Zhou family.
The biggest connection he had with them previously was the relationship between Jaguar and Therius.
However, now that he and Yenora became friends, the situation was a bit different. Moreover, Jayvon spoke ill of her, which bothered Fade a lot.
After contemplating his options, Fade was sure that he would warn the Zhou family, for Yenora's sake.
Of course, if they decided to act against it, it was none other than the Zhou family' s business.
With that, he left the bar and returned to the hotel.
As he reached his room, he swiped his card and opened the door.
Swoosh!
Just as he opened the door and the lights in the room lit up, a strong wind blew towards his throat.
The wind whistled across the room with extreme speed, carrying a sharp killing intent. As soon as he noticed it, it was already in front of him, and he could not dodge it at all.
