Meanwhile, Fade, who was in his hotel room, had logged onto several websites and began to search for information about the local forces in Star Island.
After all, he and Ashley didn't part on good terms, so he needed someone else to help him with the investigation.
After browsing the internet, he finally fixed his eyes on Lion Hall.
Lion Hall was founded by the people who used to work for the Lion God of War. It had a great influence on Star Island and held impeccable strength. It could be said to be one of the top forces on Star Island.
More importantly, Calixto Lee, the current leader of the Lion Hall, was a descendant of Fade's hometown. He had a few connections with some famous martial artists in Fade's country.
What really caught Fade’s attention was the infamous association between Lion Hall and the Lion War of God's tomb.
The Skull Mob was very likely to be coming after the tomb as well. In that case, Lion Hall would probably know more about the Skull Mob.
After putting everything together, Fade finally locked his target on Lion Hall.
The next morning, he took a taxi and headed straight to the Lion Hall headquarters after breakfast.
An hour later, the car arrived at a hill that was not too high.
Although it was a rural area, it was quite prosperous. There was a large open space at the foot of the hill and many martial arts shops crowded around the area.
Standing at the foot of the hill, straight stone stairs extending all the way to the top could be seen. At the top of the hill sat a building; it was the headquarters of Lion Hall.
At this moment, there were many people ascending and descending the stairs.
Fade looked around his surroundings and also went up the stairs.
Fifteen minutes later, he reached the top of the mountain.
A tall and grand building appeared in front of him. The entrance consisted of a huge archway that was more than ten meters high. In the middle of the archway, two golden words, "Lion Hall" were imprinted on it.
At this very moment, a few young people were talking to the guards at the entrance.
Some were granted permission to cross the archway and enter the building of Lion Hall. However, most of the rest were restricted to pass through.
Fade observed these young people from the side. He soon found out that most of them came here to become apprentices. Some came to join the clan while a small number were here to challenge Lion Hall.
However, those who were blocked outside didn't possess much strength. No wonder they were restricted from entering.
Fade looked away, thought for a moment, and then walked towards the archway.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He stopped in his tracks, took out his mobile phone and answered the phone. "Hello."
"Fade, I'm Therius."
"Yesterday, I asked Ashley to pick you up at the airport. I heard that there was a misunderstanding between the two of you?" Therius asked tentatively.
Fade raised his eyebrows and said faintly, "It's not a misunderstanding."
Therius paused for a while and added, "Ashley said you had a fight with her boyfriend. This..."
"Did she say that? Well, I think you can put it that way!" Fade frowned.
Therius was quick to recognize Fade's annoyance and quickly replied, "Maybe Ashley didn't make things clear. Fade, why don't you come to my house to clear up the misunderstandings?"
"I’m not available right now, I have something to do." Fade’s voice remained indifferent.
Therius said, "I see. You have business ongoing. What's the matter? Do you need my help?"
Fade merely replied faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou, but there’s no need for help, I can handle it myself."
"But Fade, you..." Therius tried to persuade him.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm in a hurry. I have to go." Fade didn't want to continue the conversation anymore. He quickly finished his sentence and hung up the phone.
