Heidey's face turned pale as she looked terrified. "Boss, we mean no harm, we're just looking for our companion. It's okay if you're not willing," she tried to explain with all her might.
As she spoke, she pulled Fade and Govyn towards the side, hoping to leave in peace.
As for the hunchback boss, he didn't try to stop them and allowed them to leave.
A trace of doubt appeared in Fade's eyes at the sight of his reaction. He immediately stopped in his tracks and walked towards the boss. He spoke with a cold voice and said, "What if I demand to search the place?"
As soon as the boss heard this, his expression turned cold and his aura exploded towards Fade. He gave a cold reply and said, "Are you sure you want to fight me?"
Without saying another word, Fade's body shuddered vigorously. A wave of positive energy burst forth and overwhelmed the boss' aura.
The boss' face instantly changed and said, "You're also a martial artist that is above the middle stage of the Black Level?" "Now, I believe I'll be able to conduct my search right!" Fade asked coldly.
The boss' face was uncertain and he remained speechless.
Fade didn't wait for his answer but walked towards the locked rooms on the first floor. He kicked open the doors with a loud bang. He went in and realized that the rooms were empty, with no one in sight.
With another loud "bang", he kicked open the door of the second room and continued to search.
As soon as he kicked the third room open, the boss couldn't bear it anymore. "He's in the cellar," he blurted.
With that, he walked towards the counter. He leaned down and pulled a lever where an entrance appeared in front of them.
When Fade and the others entered the cellar, they saw Schultz lying unconscious on a pile of hay.
"Schultz!" Gorvyn and Heidey yelled as they rushed towards him.
Fade immediately went over to check on Schultz. He realized that he was just unconscious without any injuries. Therefore, he infused him with some positive energy to wake him up.
As soon as Schultz had been awakened, Fade realized that there were many other items in the cellar.
There were long white robes, long-haired wigs, red paint, and many other items as well.
As soon as they saw these items, Fade and the others instantly remembered the white figures they saw outside the window.
"Did you pretend to be the ghosts outside the window?" Fade asked.
The boss was silent for a moment. He then nodded and admitted, "It's me."
"Why?" Fade frowned and asked.
Gorvyn and Heidey were curious as well.
However, the boss wouldn't speak, nor did he have the intention to answer the question.
As Fade saw his reaction, he frowned, and his aura erupted as if he was going to attack.
The boss felt his terrifying pressure and knew that he was no match for him. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "I mean no harm. I did all of this to prevent you from going to Namuchia."
"You don't want us to go to Namuchia Lake?" Heidey asked.
Fade and the others couldn't understand his intentions. They continued to ask, "Why?"
