After the guests left, the huge entertainment house was left empty.
Fade went straight to the hall and sat on a sofa right in the middle of the store. Cindy stood next to him, tall and upright, with an imposing manner.
Renold and Hogward were kneeling on both sides of the sofa, keeping their heads down and not saying a word.
Meanwhile, with a creaking sound, the closed door of the entertainment house was pushed open.
A group of people marched in mightily.
Fade squinted slightly and saw the group of people clearly. The one in the front was a middle-aged man in his late forties, and he was half bald. Beside this man stood a man with a long sword in his hand. Judging from his dressing, he was a Jopeno local.
Behind the two of them was a large group of big, buff men. There were quite a number of them and it had intrigued Fade.
After this group of people marched in, Hogward and Renold, who were kneeling, were about to get up right away.
Seeing this, Fade shouted, "Kneel down! Did I allow you to stand up?"
The two were so scared that they shivered and immediately knelt down again. They did not dare to move a single inch at all.
When the bald middle- aged man saw this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and went directly to stand opposite Fade. He glanced at him and muttered in a low voice, "It's you who threatened to burn down my store?"
Fade sat on the sofa, glanced up at the man and answered lazily, "Yes, it was me. Are you Malachi?"
"Yes, I am." He then glanced around the shop and finally stared at Fade. He said lividly, "Don't you want to give me an explanation for what happened here?"
"An explanation?" Fade sneered. "Do you need me to explain your ruthless actions, such as cheating and deceiving people from our country?"
Hearing what he said, Malachi squinted his eyes and answered in a low voice, "I don't understand what you mean, sir. I'm a decent businessman, and I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Really? Then what about my sister?" Fade directly took out a picture of a young woman and questioned him.
The lady in the photo was a waitress working in the store. She and Winola had had a similar experience. She had signed the contract and shot two adult movies, and later the movies were not hits and thus, she was forced to work in the store as a waitress.
Fade had dismissed the waitresses who wanted to leave. He also asked for a photo from one of them, and claimed that she was his sister. Then, he made up a story of him coming to Jopeno to look for his sister but later he realized that his sister was deceived to work in the entertainment house and that was why he was there.
Originally, he did not want it to be so troublesome. However, Cindy said that Garvet's matter was confidential and they couldn't just go around talking about it.
That was why he had to come up with such a plan.
Sure enough, when Malachi saw Fade's photo, he realized what was going on. It seemed that the family members of the woman who had been deceived were here to seek justice.
Therefore, he chuckled and said, "There may be some misunderstandings about this. Your sister came to work in our store on her own free will. We also paid her according to the contract. I don't know what explanation you need."
"F*ck, you're still pretending. Do you want to die?" Fade threw the photo on the table, then rushed over and wanted to punch Malachi.
Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes and retreated. Meanwhile, he waved his hand to order the men behind him to start a fight.
