The guards at the door were taken aback by Fade's outfit. They stared at him from a distance and their expressions carried hints of alertness.
He understood their skepticism and said nothing. He prepared to take out his invitation and enter the castle.
However, at that moment, a cry rang out behind him.
"Mom, it's that guy."
At once, Fade turned his head and saw two familiar faces.
It was the finely- dressed mother and daughter he met the day before. At that moment, they had both changed into evening dresses, high heels, and carried expensive leather bags. Apparently, they were here for the Blythe family banquet.
"It's really that brat. Why is he here?" Sophie's face darkened as she spoke.
Cathy shouted to a middle-aged man in a suit next to her, "Dad, it's him. It was he who got us arrested by the police yesterday."
"Dad, go and teach him a lesson."
Upon hearing this, the middle- aged man, whose name was Aldrich, scowled. He stepped forward and said, "You there, come over here!"
His arrogant attitude made Fade frown. He looked at the man in the suit and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Brat, don't play dumb. You framed us yesterday, and now, you are pretending that you don't know us?" Cathy exclaimed angrily.
Sophie also stared at him and said, "Boy, you'd better apologize to me. Otherwise, my husband will not spare you."
"Young man, don't make this hard. Kneel down and apologize!" Aldrich snarled arrogantly.
Fade glared at him coldly. "Do you even know what happened yesterday? Why do you want me to apologize?"
"I don't need to know what happened! I know that you made my wife and daughter unhappy. Now, apologize and admit your mistake!" Aldrich said threateningly, "My patience is growing thin. You'd better not make this difficult for everyone."
He gestured as he spoke. Immediately, two burly men stepped forward and looked at Fade warily.
Next to him, Cathy said proudly, "These are the bodyguards my dad's company provided. They are all experts in martial arts. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize."
Aldrich glared at him coldly. "Ten seconds. I will give you ten seconds."
Fade frowned. He didn't want to deal with these types of people. He immediately turned around and walked towards the castle.
"Are you trying to run away? Catch him!" Aldrich shouted. The two bodyguards charged towards Fade.
However, just when they made their move, Fade waved his hand and released two streams of energy. They struck the two burly bodyguards, sending them crashing to the ground right in front of Aldrich. He gasped in shock.
After recovering from the shock, his face darkened.
At this time, Fade had reached the entrance of the castle and was ready to enter.
Cathy's face was full of resentment. "Dad, that brat is too arrogant. We can't just let him go so easily."
"Honey, you are an executive. How could you be bullied by such a brat?" Sophie chimed in.
Aldrich's expression darkened. He quickly rushed to the entrance of the castle, as he called to the guards there, "He beat up my men. Stop him."
The two guards looked at him doubtfully.
Aldrich pulled out an invitation with an arrogant expression. "I'm Aldrich Xu, an executive at MacDonell Company. I’m a guest at Sir Blythe's party today."
