Fade hurried out and comforted Shinnie. Eventually, she managed to calm down.
Then, Fade and Shinnie, who just regained her senses, entered the house again to look for clues.
This time, Fade made a discovery. He found something unusual on the bloody body. There were many small holes in the main artery that caused blood to flow out constantly. It was as if someone deliberately poked holes there.
After that, he carefully checked the scene again and made another discovery.
In a corner on the floor, he found a small accessory that he recognised at first glance. It belonged to Jeremy Lin. Since Fade and Quin paid a lot of attention to Jeremy when he disappeared, Fade was very familiar with Jeremy's things.
Previously, during their trip to Fuma Town, the Skull Mob used Jeremy to lure Quin over.
Yet now, in this strange hut in the middle of nowhere, the bloody corpse, as well as Jeremy's belongings connected the Skull Mob to Jeremy. This caused Fade to secretly worry about his wife, Quin.
Later, Fade contacted Ulrick and asked that he send someone over to conduct some detailed investigation. Both Fade and Shinnie searched the vicinity for a while but found nothing. After that, Fade took Shinnie back to Long City.
After exchanging clues with Francesca and the others, Fade returned home. When he got off work and saw his wife return home, Fade's heart skipped a beat. He walked forward and hugged Quin.
Quin was startled by Fade's actions. She thought that Fade was trying to play with her so she pushed him away.
A moment later, she realised that he was acting a bit differently. He did not make any suggestive moves nor try anything on her. He just hugged her gently.
Quin felt that he had something on his mind. She could not help but rub her hands gently along his back. She patted him a few times and said softly, "What's wrong? What happened this time?"
Quin held Fade in her arms and comforted him like a gentle elder sister.
He was silent for a while and didn't say anything but just looked at her. After a long while, he muttered, "Dear, I don't want anything to happen to you."
She was stunned and asked, "Is something going to happen to me? I'll be fine. What's wrong? Did you get into any trouble?"
He didn't want to hide it from her, so he told her about what he had found in Longxu City and how he found Jeremy's accessories in the house.
Quin listened intently and was also shocked. She remained silent for a while.
Then, she looked at Fade and said, "I know you want to help me find Jeremy."
"Yes." He nodded.
She looked at him tenderly and said with a solemn expression, "Although I really want to find Jeremy and figure out what happened, it's more important that nothing happens to you."
There was no romance or warmth in this simple sentence, but at this moment, her words gave him strength. His heart felt warm, and he found himself smiling at her.
Fade nodded and said, "Honey, you're so kind."
She was not used to his nauseating language, so she blushed. She turned her head shyly and said, "I'm going to take a bath. Rest up!"
In addition, there were all kinds of bets going on. The bettings made the competition more exciting and it attracted more participants.
The members of the Sky Martial Arts Club had their eyes on becoming the champion amongst all ordinary fighters.
Therefore, Fade helped Tom Wei train the students in the martial arts club.
A few days later, Fade arrived at the Sky Martial Arts Club again. However, he wasn't wearing the uniform of the martial arts club. Instead, he wore a sports suit and stood with the students at the door.
Because today, the Sky Martial Arts Club was going to conduct special training. It was not the usual fighting and sparring in the martial arts club. Instead, they were going into the wild for a special cross-country run.
For special training, the members of the Sky Martial Arts Club would travel to a scenic area called Old Dragon Mountain in the suburbs of Long City. After climbing up the mountain and reaching the peak, they would have to take their attendance before climbing back down again.
This kind of special training involved navigating and camping in the wilderness. Of course, it was not a problem for Fade. It was also a piece of cake for Macallan Zhang and Tom.
However, most of the students in the martial arts club had average strength, so this kind of special training was quite difficult forthem.
Fade was present to ensure the safety of the students along the way and to give them more instructions at the same time.
After the special training rules were stated clearly, the whole martial arts club started charging forward under Macallan's leadership.
As the bodyguard, Fade ran behind the team.
