On the other hand, in the Zhou family's manor, Therius hung up the phone, sighed and said, "He really didn't agree to the proposal."
Standing beside him was Ashley, whose face was bruised, spat with hatred and confusion, "Dad, I was beaten by him, yet you still want to invite him to our Zhou family?"
"That's because you went too far this time." He glared at his daughter.
She answered discontentedly, "How am I going too far? I even helped her, but Yenora didn't appreciate it and allowed Fade to hit me. It's clearly her fault."
"Although Yenora is an illegitimate daughter and has yet to receive the family's official recognition, she is still your cousin and you should treat her like your sister. You still need to be aware of your manners when it comes to these things," he advised her with a frown on his face.
She wanted to further argue with him, but he continued, "Besides, you took Gaubert out with you this time, and he was seriously injured. Master Chai is displeased. You'd better come with me to apologize to him."
"No..." She was about to refuse.
However, he ordered in a deep voice, "This is your grandfather's wish."
She knew that her grandfather, Ballous Zhou, had a very high status in the Zhou family. Hence, she dared not say anything.
A day later, Fade, who was resting in the hotel, received a call from Thanos, saying that he had found some relevant information and requested to meet him so that they could talk in detail.
After agreeing with the venue, he went out immediately.
An hour later, he appeared in a lively bar.
Carolus, who had contacted him previously, now took the role of a middle person, leading him through the lively crowd as they went deeper into the bar.
Fade looked around at the bustling crowd surrounding him along with the constant resounding music in his ear. He could not help but ask, "Does Mr. Li like to meet up in this kind of place?"
Carolus explained, "The workforce here is complicated. To us, it's a good disguise for our identity."
"I see!" Fade nodded and followed him into a private room.
They knocked on the door and entered the private room. Thanos immediately stood up to greet Fade as they entered. "Mr. Chen, you are here!"
"Mr. Li, what kind of information have you found?" Fade did not hesitate to get straight to the point.
Thanos didn't intend to hide anything either. He waved his hand and ordered his men to take out a stack of information that they found.
As he flipped through the stack of documents, he explained to Fade, "Mr. Chen, according to the clues of the Mad Tiger Gang that you've provided, we initiated a deeper investigation."
"Now, we can confirm that your wife, Quin Lin, is indeed in Star City. We have found a screenshot of her on surveillance footage."
"At the same time, we were able to conclude another thing. The members of the Skull Mob have also entered Star City, and they've even started setting up their layout. Moreover, we speculated that they've contacted quite a few local forces in Star City. They are probably targeting the Lion God of War's tomb, which will be open soon."
With that, Thanos handed the pile of information to Fade so that he could read it carefully.
He thoroughly studied it at a glance and then he turned over the information about his wife, Quin, several more times to catch any details.
His eyes became a little cold. “Skull Mob, Dark Dragon, you'd better not hurt Quin. Otherwise..."
"Mr. Chen, you..."
The coldness that Fade subconsciously emanated from his body almost made Thanos unable to withstand it.
Upon noticing this. Fade hurriedly held back his aura and said, "Mr. Li, how's your injury? I'll check it again for you!"
"I'll be grateful if you could, Mr. Chen," Thanos said.
"It’s nothing!" Fade replied. He then checked Thanos' pulse and fixed a few needles on his body.
