Hearing this, Fade suddenly thought of his mother-in-law, Chrystal Xie. He had never met her before, but he knew that she was once a disciple of the Wushuang Tower.
Fade had only heard about Chrystal from a few of her past servants, including Francesca Sun, Honor Qi, Yanko Shi, and Latifah Gong. As to what Chrystal was actually up to, Fade had no idea.
Thinking of this, Fade looked at Santos and asked, "What's the name of the disciple you're talking about?"
Santos paused for a moment, then said, "I think her name was Chrystal Xie, she was a woman. However, I can't remember the specific details. Moreover, the higher- ups had sealed off all information on her when she returned to the clan back then. Topics regarding her were a taboo among clan members, and all reports regarding her were destroyed. I was but an ordinary internal disciple at that time, so I had limited access to her data."
At that point, Fade managed to confirm that the "traitor disciple" of the Wushuang Tower was actually his mother-in-law, Chrystal Xie.
However, as a personal disciple of the Wushuang Tower, Chrystal had extraordinary talent. Furthermore, Francesca and the others had mentioned that Chrystal exhibited a very good attitude towards her clan. She did not seem like the type to rebel against her clan.
Furthermore, Fade performed some prior research on the jade token in question. He was sure that it was just an ordinary jade token from the Wushuang Tower. There was nothing special inside it, and he had not found any clues about the treasure as well.
Thinking of this, Fade fell silent for a moment. He had his doubts regarding the so-called treasure of the Wushuang Tower.
However, he recalled that for more than 20 years, Wushuang Tower had made a big fuss regarding this matter. Not only did they conceal all intelligence surrounding Chrystal, they also recalled all old versions of the jade token, replacing them with a new version.
There must be some special reason behind this.
However, it was impossible for him to figure out the details by himself. He could only wait for an opportunity to go to Wushuang Tower, and see if he could force the truth out of the higher management. Then, he could help Quin figure out her mother's whereabouts.
After making up his mind, Fade looked at Santos and said, "I know the whole story now."
"I can tell you that the jade token that I have on hand doesn't contain any clues about the treasure.
I won't kill you for the sake of my friendship with Wushuang Tower. Now, you may leave," Fade said while looking at Santos.
A hint of joy flashed across Santos' eyes upon hearing Fade's words. However, at the same time, he seemed to doubt Fade's words.
Fade then snorted, "You can return to Wushuang Tower for reinforcements if you have doubts. If you show up again, however, I will no longer show you mercy. You should think of the consequences of your actions."
After hearing his words, Santos' body trembled in fear. He quickly shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I will never tell another soul about what happened here today. This will definitely not happen again."
Fade nodded at his words. He then waved his hand dismissively and said, "Okay, you may leave now."
Fade felt that he could trust Santos. After all, this was a highly guarded top secret of Wushuang Tower. Generally speaking, they were not allowed to leak it out.
By telling him this information, Santos was already a whistleblower. If the top management in the Wushuang Tower found out, Santos would probably be done for.
