Fade hurried to the place where Aiden was located. It was less than one block away from Hamptonus Palace. What that meant was that the other party had already arranged to get rid of the stalkers right after he left Hamptonus Palace.
On a narrow street, four bodies were splayed on the ground at the moment. Aiden had already arranged for some personnel to guard the area.
Fade entered the street and bent down to check on the four corpses.
He knew all four of them. When he was in Blythe's family, he had given them some guidance when he assigned tasks to them.
Although they were not the strongest, they were nonetheless all at the middle stage of the Heaven Level. To a layman, they were certainly powerful enough as martial artists.
Yet, those four experts were all killed in that narrow alley.
Plus, from the wounds on their bodies, it looked like all of their hearts had been pierced fatally. There were few, if any, traces of a struggle.
It indicated that the opponent was extremely skilled. After all, he was capable of quickly killing four martial artists who were all at the middle stage of the Heaven Level.
Following that, Fade began examining the scene. While he did so, he asked, "Have you found any clues?”
Aiden replied, "My men followed them as soon as they left Hamptonus Palace. The surveillance footage shows that our men were deliberately lured into this alley and then killed."
"After that, the other party left the alley and headed north, but since then, they have never appeared on any surveillance footage."
"However, we have the photos. I have already gotten people to investigate those photos, but there's still no leads for the time being."
Fade frowned slightly as he listened. "How were our men discovered?"
When he brought that up, Aiden's expression turned ugly. " There was a mole in Surfbee Auction House. A staff member of the Blythe family was bribed by the other party to reveal our plan."
"Where's that staff member?" Fade queried.
Aider, replied, "Dead. He was already dead before those four died."
Fade fell silent at that. He carefully looked over the area, but found nothing.
Then, Alden pressured his men again for any new leads, to no avail.
For a moment, all the leads they had led to dead ends. Even Fade could not see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore.
Just then, someone came to Fade's mind.
The Saintess, Celine!
She was backed by the Sacred Hall, who had much more influence in Earland than the Blythe family. If the Sacred Hall could help, they might be able to get some useful information.
At that thought, he immediately gave her a call.
"Mr. Chen, isn't today the day of the auction? How is it that you have the time to call me?" She asked, surprised.
He quickly went straight to the point. "Saintess, something's happened at the auction. All my leads are gone now. I want to enlist your help."
"What can I do for you?" She questioned.
He replied, "I want you to look someone up for me. I have a photo here. We need to find him as soon as possible. I'm wondering if you can get the Sacred Hall to..."
"The Sacred Hall?" Her question betrayed her shock.
He sensed the underlying doubt in her voice. His face fell, and he said, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
She paused for a second, then said, "Mr. Chen, not at all. Send me the photo. I'll help you look into it."
"Thank you so much, Saintess," he responded with incomparable gratitude. Then, he sent the photo to her.
