Finally, after hearing everything that happened in Earland, Galeno was purple in the face. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "They've gone too far. Those Earland people are just bullying you!"
Fade patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Master Zhu, it's not a big deal. I'll clear things up later."
"But your reputation..." Galeno was still very angry.
Fade smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"By the way, Fade, your injury..." Galeno was still really worried about his physical condition.
Fade's expression changed slightly and he said, "I just need some time to recuperate and recover slowly."
"How about I get someone to examine you?" Galeno asked.
"Don't forget, Master Zhu. I'm a doctor myself," Fade responded.
"You are right. I'm so worried that I'm not even thinking straight." Galeno patted himself on the head.
Fade smiled and said, "Master Zhu, is there anything else?"
"Nope. I just wanted to know what happened after I heard you were back. I'm glad you've explained it all to me. You go back and take a good rest okay. Don't push yourself too much. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Thank you, Master Zhu. I'll be on my way then!" Fade said as he left.
Galeno personally brought Fade to the entrance and saw him off.
His expression could not help but turn solemn. He stared off into the distance as the car drove off.
One of his men stepped forward and said, "Master Zhu, you forgot to tell Mr. Chen about the hostile forces."
Galeno sighed and said, "General Xu's injuries are still unhealed. I was hoping for Fade to come back and take over, but now, I learn that he's injured too. How could I bear to bring it up to him?"
"But things are getting more and more urgent. I'm afraid that the senior officials..." The subordinate tried to speak.
Galeno's face fell and his voice turned serious. "No matter how urgent it is, we can't risk Fade's life. If it really comes to it, then we old geezers should be the ones giving up our lives. If one of us isn't enough, then well send two or three more of us. I don't believe we won't be able to hold those jerks back."
His subordinate wanted to say more but he chose not to in the end.
Meanwhile, Fade was already on his way home. He had no idea about what Galeno was talking about at all.
He wanted to return home as soon as possible and get together with his friends and relatives, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Finally, more than an hour later, he returned to his villa.
However, when he entered the villa, he found no one inside.
His junior, Joey was nowhere to be seen, nor was his disciple, Jasmine. Even the housekeeper wasn't around. It appeared as though the house had been empty for a long time.
"Why is there no one home? Have they all gone to work?" He wondered.
He took out his cell phone and dialed Lily's number, but it couldn't be connected.
"Is Sister Lily busy with work?" He dialed a few more times but to no avail.
Therefore, he tried to give Jasmine a call instead. Oddly enough, her phone couldn't be reached either.
Next, he tried to call Joey and Melanie. However, the same thing happened.
"What's going on? Are they all that busy?" For a moment, his heart was growing suspicious.
