Fade calmly stepped through the chaos.
"Fade, what are you doing here in the Guo family's house?" Zeward asked, trying to hold back his anger.
Fade glanced at him and knew that he was Monash's father. Then, his eyes fell on Maurice. "I come in peace. I just want to talk to the Guo family."
"I mean no harm."
Hearing these words, Zesiah almost flew into a rage. "You hurt my son, Egon, and still dare to claim that you come in peace. You..."
However, before he could finish, Maurice silenced him with a glare.
The old man's eyes fell on Fade. "What do you want to talk about?" He asked softly.
"Let's talk about Monash," Fade replied.
"Monash it is. What's the matter?" Maurice asked, gritting his teeth.
"Monash is dead. I killed him," Fade replied.
"However, there's a reason forthat."
"In the Xuan Valley, Monash colluded with several conspirators to kill me. I killed him in self-defense."
Ignoring Maurice's glare, Zesiah rushed forward and shouted, "What nonsense! There is no enmity between you and my family. Monash didn't even know you. Why would he attack you? It doesn't make sense."
Almost all of the Guo family members were glaring at Fade, waiting for his reply.
He glanced at the crowd and said indifferently, "I don't know, and that's why I'm here."
"I hope that the Guo family will cooperate with me to uncover the reason for Monash's treachery and to root out the mastermind."
"Y-You..." Zeward was so angry that he looked like he was about to burst into flames.
The crowd became more enthusiastic.
"Fade is so arrogant!"
"He killed a member of the family and dares to ask for their cooperation!"
"He doesn't respect the Guo family at all!" "Let's see how the Guo family deals with him." "Of course they won't agree. This is the Guo family. How can they ignore their anger?"
Maurice gloomily watched the uproar from his chair. With a shout, he slammed his palm on the armrest of the chair, stood up, and glared at Fade.
"Fade, what do you take the Guo family for?" He snarled through gritted teeth.
"You killed my grandson, and now you want me to cooperate with your investigation? Do you think my family is weak enough for you to bully into submission?"
He was fuming.
Fade frowned. "Mr. Guo, I explained that killing Monash was an act of self-defense. From a certain point of view, Monash was also being used. I want to find the real murderer. That would give you closure over Monash. I hope that the Guo family will cooperate with me,” he tried to explain.
"Nonsense!" Maurice roared. "Fade, I had planned to seek revenge on you after the birthday party, but since you have come, I'll kill you right here!"
Maurice waved his hand and shouted, "Guo family, listen to me, kill Fade!"
"Yes, sir!"
There was a burst of cheers, and in an instant, Fade was surrounded by the angry mob.
He couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. "I only came to talk and not to fight, but since you have forced my hand, you'll have to pardon my rudeness."
His eyes turned cold. "If you want to fight, come on!"
His fearless attitude shocked everyone in the room.
His reputation in the country had been growing for a while now. Everyone had heard whispers of him.
