The enemies were getting closer and closer. Fade took a deep breath and condensed the red positive energy in his hand. He gazed ahead, ready to attack.
However, just as he felt them getting closer and closer, two figures suddenly approached him.
He instantly became alert. He looked at the figures and shouted in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The two figures stopped about 50 meters away from Fade. Sensing his hostility, they stopped.
One of them said, "Fade, we are here to help you. Come with us."
Of course, he was not that naive to believe what they said.
"Who are you? Why would you come to help me?" He asked.
The other party looked in the direction of the pursuers and did not explain much. He took out a piece of paper from his chest and opened it, saying, "Read this. You'll soon understand that we bear no ill intentions."
Fade focused his gaze and was surprised. He could not help but ask, "Who are you guys? Why would..."
The reason why he was so surprised was because of the drawing on the paper.
The drawing was very basic and simple. It looked like a drawing done by a child.
There were three stickmen, a house, and a tree. That was all.
However, for Fade, this drawing was very familiar.
That was because he was the person who drew it. When he was five years old, he drew it when he was with Aldred on the mountain.
The three stickmen in the picture were Aldred, himself, and Joey.
The fact that these two people could produce this drawing showed that they were somehow related to Aldred.
However, he was very curious. Aldred's whereabouts were always unpredictable and mysterious. Fade himself didn't even know where he had gone. Who were these people? How could they get in touch with Aldred?
Unfortunately, now was not the time to discuss all this.
The two men looked in the direction of the pursuers and were also beginning to feel a little anxious. "The enemies are coming. Let's just go now and talk later."
Fade nodded and then rushed towards the man with the drawing.
The man said nothing and immediately took action. "Follow me!"
He set off running. Fade followed closely behind him.
The remaining man did not follow them immediately but instead headed in the opposite direction.
It seemed like he was trying to lure the enemies away.
Seeing this, Fade couldn't help but worry. "The people chasing after us are of the Half-Lord Level. If he goes alone..."
The person in front of him said, "Don't worry, he is also at Half-Lord Level. Speed is his strength. Those people won't be able to catch up with him."
"Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Fade did not say anything else. He thanked the man and continued to
In Fade's impression, Aldred was just a lazy old fogey. Although he was good at martial arts, he never took an interest in power or money.
When he was on the mountain, multiple people of the four Heaven Level clans visited him many times. They were always looking to offer him a strong position in their clan, or some even wanted to support him in creating his own clan.
However, Aldred always said that he was used to being alone and he was content with two disciples. That was enough for him and he didn't want to deal with anything more. Hence, he consistently rejected any offers he received.
Now, these two men were telling Fade that Aldred actually had some power. Naturally, he was a little taken aback.
The two men could see this, thus, they produced their tokens. "Master Hsuanyuen was the one who started up the organization at the very beginning. However, when the organization finally stabilized, he left. He basically ignored all the affairs and let us deal with it ourselves."
"Something has happened to the organization recently. To help settle things, Master Hsuanyuen returned temporarily."
Fade nodded to show he understood.
However, when he saw their tokens, he was shocked.
Their token showed two intersecting daggers.
He had seen this symbol before. It was mentioned by Janus, the chief of Green Wood Hall, back on Prohibition Island. When he was leaving the inner island, Janus specifically warned him to be careful of this organization. He also mentioned that this group, known as the Double Blades, were enemies of Prohibition Island. They had been known to murder many islanders. That was why since Fade had left the island, he made sure to eliminate any Double Blades members he encountered. Either that or he would gather intel about them.
However, now, the facts laid out in front of his eyes were telling him that the enemies of Prohibition Island were actually an organization set up by his own master. He was completely dumbstruck.
"Master Hsuanyuen's organization is called Double Blades?" He asked.
The two nodded and said, "Yes, we are called Double Blades. Master Hsuanyuen chose that name as soon as the organization was set up. The image of two intersecting daggers is our insignia."
"But this..." An overwhelming number of questions poured into Fade's mind. He wanted to ask, but he didn't even know where to start.
