Fade got up early the next morning after a night's rest.
Soon after he finished washing up, Alicia came over and led him and the others to have breakfast.
During breakfast, she apologized to Fade for what had happened the day before. She told him that she and Richardus supported him very much and promised to do their best to convince Rahmi and Rochelle to reach an agreement with him later.
He knew that she only meant well. Hence, he nodded and smiled gently. "I understand!"
Shortly after breakfast, she led Fade and the others to the living room.
However, the guards stopped them when they arrived at the entrance of the living room.
She frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing? I'm taking Fade and the others to the meeting. What do you mean by stopping us from entering?"
"Please calm down, Miss Chung."
"Of course, you and Mr. Chen may enter, but the rest seem to have nothing to do with the meeting. Thus..."
The guard glanced at Halston, Joey, and the others while he spoke.
"They're also my friends, I..." Alicia bellowed, her face flushed with anger.
However, Halston stopped her before she could finish her words. "Miss Chung, this truly has nothing to do with us. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to join in."
"Miss Chung, we haven't finished cultivating yet, and we are just about to go back to our rooms to cultivate," Kelly added.
The others also spoke up.
Alicia looked at them and finally looked at Fade with an inquiring look.
He turned to look at them. He knew that they meant well and didn't want to make trouble for him in front of a noble family like the Chung family.
Therefore, he nodded and said softly, "Have a good rest. I will be back soon."
"Okay!" The group of friends waved goodbye and left.
Alicia quickly instructed the servants to escort them, then turned to look at Fade apologetically. "Fade, I'm sorry!"
He shook his head and reassured her, "It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize. Besides, the Chung family mansion is full of spiritual energy. It's good for them to seize the opportunity to cultivate."
Then, the two of them entered the living room.
About 15 minutes later, Richardus, Rahmi, Rochelle, Jarvis, and Howell walked in.
After everyone was seated, Alicia turned to look at Rahmi and asked impatiently, "Uncle, what do you think about recruiting Fade as a member of the Chung family?"
Beside her, Richardus chimed in, "Fade has great potential. It will be a great fortune for our family if he becomes our member." Rahmi was calm and serious as he sat unmoving on the main seat, his face betraying no visible emotions.
He glanced at Richardus and Alicia and then shifted his gaze to Fade. Then, he said slowly, "I learned a lot about Mr. Chen after looking him up last night, and I found that he is truly outstanding."
"Uncle, I told you that Fade is powerful!" She exclaimed.
Richardus nodded and said, "Then, let's sign the contract, Rahmi."
He pulled out the contract that he had drafted the day before as he spoke, about to hand it over to Fade.
However, at this moment, Rahmi shouted, "Wait a minute!"
