As soon as Fade's words landed, another discussion broke out in the conference room.
"Mr. Chen, is this true? Can you really enter the Earth Yuan World through the space rift?"
"It's too dangerous. If you get lost in the space rift, you'll never be able to come back."
"Mr. Chen, you're now the leader of the earth.
We can't let you take such a risk."
Fade waved his hand and said in a low voice, "This is not a risk I want to take, but it is our last option."
"Right now, we're just like sitting ducks. If we don't think of a way to save ourselves, the only outcome for us will be death."
"So, even if there is danger, we must move forward."
Hearing Fade's firm tone, many of them began to mull it over.
Riccardo suddenly stood up and said loudly, "I agree with you. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm willing to enter the space rift with you."
It seemed that they were inspired. Several more people stood up one after another with a determined look on their faces.
"I'm also willing to go with you."
"For the world and everyone in it, this risk is worth taking."
"At least it's better than waiting for death."
Thus, everyone settled on Fade's idea.
All the world leaders returned and resumed their duties.
Fade also got to work. He really did not know whether he would come back alive from this mission. Hence, he needed to settle all his personal matters beforehand.
As for the people who volunteered to join him in the space rift, after some consideration, he still decided to go alone. At most, he would bring Fire Dragon along with him.
After all, the two of them were the most experienced ones there.
Even an expert like Janus was not confident that he could survive a place like the space rift.
Additionally, he had to make sure that the earth had enough experts left behind in the event he died. That way, there would at least be a line of defense left for Earth.
Due to all the above reasons, Fade ultimately decided to reject Riccardo, Janus, and Aldred from joining him. His plan was to enter the space rift with Fire Dragon and head to the Earth Yuan World.
Finally, everything was settled. For the next two months, Fade gave himself a long holiday. He set aside his work to spend time with his friends and family.
During this period, he traveled around the world with Quin, Lily, Momo, Joey, Jasmine, Yuri, Shinnie, and the others.
They watched the Northern Lights, hunted beasts in the rainforests, climbed to the top of mountains, and watched sunsets by the beach...
These rare moments of leisure almost made him forget all his worries.
However, all good things had to come to an end.
That afternoon, Fade received a phone call. "Mr. Chen, a space rift has opened near the anchor point. The optimum time to enter would be tomorrow afternoon. The rift will disappear by three o'clock."
"Got it. I'll be there tomorrow." Fade's voice was calm as though he was speaking about something mundane.
Hanging up the phone, he smiled and walked towards Quin. "Honey, where else would you like to go? I'll take you there."
She shook her head and said to him, "I don't want to go anywhere."
"Is something wrong? Are you not feeling well?" He asked.
She suddenly threw herself into his arms and whispered in his ear, "Take me to the room."
"If you want a child, go and find a boyfriend," he waved his hand and said.
She grabbed his arm and said cutely, "I don't want a boyfriend. None of those men can compare to you. Hmph! I want to find someone exactly like you."
"Ahem... Little girl, don't talk nonsense.” He coughed twice and pulled out his arm, worried that Quin would misunderstand.
Momo rolled her eyes and whispered in Fade's ear, "Don’t worry. Quin already knows all about your little secrets."
"I have no idea what you mean. Stop talking nonsense." He quickly denied.
She became even more excited. "Come on, stop denying it. We all know you and Sister Lily... Haha."
"In fact, I've even discussed it with Sister Lily before. If Quin can't get pregnant, then Sister Lily can try. Or, maybe we can all try to increase the chances."
"Nonsense!" He shouted in a low voice and quickly pulled out his arm.
However, the image of the group of women together could not help but surface in his mind. Fade felt his face turn hot.
Seeing this, Momo grinned widely. "Fade, you're blushing. What are you thinking about, hmm?"
"I am not. Cut it with your nonsense."
"No point in trying to hide it. I can see saliva flowing out of your mouth. Why don't I help you announce it to the group and fulfill your wish?"
"Stop fooling around.”
"Quin, Fade said..." She turned around to skip to the kitchen.
He hurriedly pulled her back.
Thus, he and the others finished their last meal together in a lively atmosphere. Then, they reluctantly said their goodbyes as he flew off to the space rift.
