Sensing the change in Fade's mood, Romeo asked, "Brother Fade, is there something wrong?"
"I'll tell you once I have a look first!" Fade replied.
Romeo immediately followed after him.
The two of them walked over to the Lin family manor. They were originally the top family amongst the hidden families, but the gates to their home were tightly shut, and not a single person could be seen anywhere around them. Everything was quiet.
Fade grew even more suspicious of the abnormal scene before him.
Romeo knocked on the door and asked, "Is anyone home?"
After a long while, someone answered the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Romeo," Romeo responded.
"Romeo? What's the matter?" A servant of the Lin family asked.
Romeo answered anxiously, "I have something urgent to discuss with Master Lin."
"What's the matter?" The servant questioned.
Romeo lowered his voice as he replied, "It's confidential. I can only tell Master Lin."
"Well..." The servant hesitated.
Romeo's expression darkened, and he insisted, "It's very important. If everything fails because of your delay, will you be able to take responsibility for it? "
The servant instantly panicked. "Young Master Hsing, please wait for a moment. I will head inside and report it."
After the servant left, Romeo turned to look at Fade.
Fade's expression darkened as he furrowed his brows. "Something's not right. Something must have happened to the Lin family."
"Brother Fade, what should we do?" Romeo asked.
Fade thought for a moment before answering.
"Find an excuse to meet Tamon. I will follow you in secretly."
Romeo was about to ask how he was going to follow him without being found out, but the servant was already here. He stopped himself in time.
"Young Master Hsing, the master would like to welcome you in!" The servant opened the door.
Romeo nodded and stepped into the Lin family's courtyard.
After entering, he looked back deliberately, but did not see Fade anywhere.
"Young Master Hsing, this way please!" The servant led Romeo to the Lin family's reception room.
The massive manor was extremely quiet. There wasn't anyone to be seen walking around in the courtyard, which made Romeo feel suspicious about the Lin family.
A servant served him a cup of tea when they arrived at the living room. "Young Master Hsing, please wait for a moment. Master Lin will be right there."
Moments later, Tarmon walked out.
Romeo immediately stood up and bowed to him.
However, he quickly noticed that Tarmon's expression was solemn, and he looked like he was worried about something.
Restraining his inner doubts, Romeo greeted him, "Greetings, Master Lin."
"Hello!" Tarmon gently nodded his head before he asked, "Romeo, I heard that you have something urgent to discuss with me.
What is it?"
Romeo paused. He had merely found an excuse to enter the manor, but he did not really think it through.
