Fade then examined Tinley's body to confirm that she was not injured.
He immediately told her after that, "You stay here. I'll take this guy for questioning. No matter what happens, don't come in. Do you understand?"
"I... I got it!" She was a little anxious, but she still nodded seriously.
He smiled gently. "Don't be nervous. This manor is a nice place. You can eat, drink, and rest as you like. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
After that, he lugged the fat man into a storage room beside the bedroom.
"You... Who are you? What do you think you are doing?"
In the storage room, the fat man looked at Fade in horror. His voice trembled.
Fade looked down at the man and asked, "Are
you Wilbur?"
The fat man nodded. "I'm Viscount Wilbur, a citizen of Earland. You've violated my rights..." Before Wilbur could finish, Fade slapped him directly across the face. He said icily, "I'm asking the questions here. If you spout more nonsense, I'll kill you."
Wilbur covered his face. Resentment flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare say anything.
Fade continued asking stonily, "Tell me, what relationship do you have with that backer of yours? What organization are they from?"
"Backer, I..." Wilbur's expression wavered. First, he was surprised, but he immediately feigned confusion and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm just an ordinary businessman..."
"Are you still putting up an act?" Fade snorted haughtily and glared daggers at Wilbur. A burst of powerful energy erupted from his body.
"1-1..Wilbur trembled with hesitation.
At that moment, Fade prodded a hard rock lightly with his finger. It crumbled into dust.
"Are you really going to keep quiet?”
'TH talk! I'll talk!” Wilbur hurriedly nodded.
Then, he told Fade everything.
In fact, things were nearly identical to Fade's speculations.
Twenty years ago, Wilbur was just a small entrepreneur. At that time, his business was failing and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Right at that crucial moment, a local entrepreneur came forward to help him.
With the help of that entrepreneur, Wilbur's business continued expanding and he became a rich man.
Of course, the other party did not help him for free. He had requested Wilbur's help for some shady tasks. Wilbur was slowly pulled into the underworld by the other party. Finally, he was selected to go to Modeland Island, to become one of the six wealthy people who would guard the organization.
That person even promised him that as long as the six of them performed well, the organization would give them life-prolonging drugs and ensure that their families would remain rich for a long time.
Therefore, Wilbur and the other five went to Modeland Island to build the six manors and hired many powerful guards in the process.
They were firstly responsible for guarding and patrolling the area, to prevent outsiders from infiltrating the organization and discovering its secrets.
Secondly, they would also dabble in criminal activities for the organization from time to time, such as kidnapping inhabitants of the island for the organization to experiment on.
That was the root cause of all the bizarre disappearances on the island.
After he heard that, Fade's expression became stony. He looked at Wilbur, bloodlust apparent in his eyes.
