After thinking for a moment, Rahmi nodded and said, "You're right."
"Rahmi, let's sign the agreement with Fade quickly..." Richardus urged hurriedly.
However, Rahmi suddenly changed the subject and said, "But we're going to spend a lot of resources on this matter. We need to consider it carefully."
"Rahmi, you..." Richardus was beginning to grow impatient, and he was about to persuade him again.
At this moment, Fade intervened. "Mr. Chung, thank you for your kindness."
"Your family has your own considerations. Since that's the case, we should call the recruitment off. There's no need to worry about it."
"Fade, how can we do that? We just made a deal..." Richardus seemed a little anxious. His gaze flitted between Rahmi and Fade, at a loss for what to do.
Upon noticing Fade's attitude, Howell ridiculed, "What the hell? How dare you put on airs with my family! You should see yourself in the mirror..."
"Howell, shut up!" Alicia glared at him, then rushed to Fade's side and persuaded him in a hushed voice. "Fade, please don't be angry. Our family really feels no ill will towards you..."
After a few words of persuasion, she rolled her eyes and suggested, "It's getting late. Fade, I'm sure you're tired after such a long day. How about you go ahead to the guest room and have a rest for a night, then well talk about it tomorrow?"
Then, she turned to wink at her father.
Richardus immediately took the hint and said, "Yes, yes. You should rest first. Well talk about it tomorrow!"
Fade's heart softened at the sight of Alicia's apologetic smile. He nodded and said, "Alright. Sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble at all!" She said as she
led Fade and the others to the guest rooms.
There were only a few people from the Chung family left in the living room.
Now that the outsiders were no longer with them, Rochelle did not bother to hide her thoughts. Crossing her arms, she said with a puzzled look on her face, "Richardus, I don't understand what you are thinking. How could you spend so much money only to invite a secular member? What is this!"
"That's right, Uncle. If the other real martial arts families were to find out that our family has taken such a person under our wing, I'm afraid they'd laugh at us," Howell chimed in.
Richardus glared at the two of them and growled, "What do you know? Fade is much stronger than you think. Besides, he has greater potential than everyone in the Chung family."
"Uncle, you're exaggerating! No matter how strong that kid is, he will never be better than me. Even if he's better than me, can he outshine Jarvis?" Howell turned to look at Jarvis as he spoke.
Jarvis was calm, just like Rahmi. He said nothing, but only looked at his father.
Rahmi remained silent for a few seconds before he said, "If Fade is truly a Half-Lord Level expert, then he is worth such a price."
"If he really gets chosen to enter the inner island, then our investment will be a big deal." "Thus, go and investigate his background now. I'll make a decision tomorrow," Rahmi ordered in a deep voice.
The family members dispersed.
Nighttime, in a bedroom in the Chung family's backyard.
Rahmi stared at the documents in front of him and nodded. "Fade is much better than I expected."
"Richardus did not make a mistake this time. Fade is worthy of joining the Chung family!" "Dad, what about the Song family?" Jarvis asked as he stood by Rahmi's side.
An arrogant sneer appeared on Rahmi's stern face upon hearing Jarvis' comment. He snorted and said, "The Song family? They won't dare to go against our family."
"Dad, are you really going to recruit Fade?" Jarvis asked.
Rahmi replied, "For now, it seems like he is worth recruiting!"
