Since there were no recipient details on it, Fade casually opened the parcel.
Inside, there was a USB stick wrapped in old newspaper, along with a wrinkled piece of paper with the words "For Fade Chen".
"What is this? Is this a prank?" He frowned slightly.
However, he still picked up the USB stick, came to the computer in his study, and inserted it into his computer.
The USB stick's folder opened and there was a web link inside it. Fade clicked on it and it directed him to the dark web.
There was no other content, only a line of words and a login button.
"Brat, you've been out for so long that you must have forgotten about poor old me. Now, I have a mission for you."
"Old fogey!" Judging by the tone of the words,
Fade immediately guessed that it was his master, Aldred.
"Mission? What's the mission?" Fade was confused. Then, he clicked on the button.
It brought him to a new page.
On the upper left corner of the webpage, there was a sign of two daggers crossing each other. Fade was quite familiar with the symbol. It was the symbol of the Double Blades, an organization established by his master.
Below the Double Blades symbol was an image with Fade's name, personal information, martial arts level, and so on.
The content of the webpage was very similar to the personal information seen on a forum.
On the upper right corner, there was a flashing red button that represented one's personal email inbox.
"This webpage is an internal forum specifically for the Double Blades. He must have created this account for me. It seems like I have mail. Is he trying to send me something?" Fade guessed as he opened his inbox.
Then, a list of information appeared in front of his eyes.
"Kid, when you receive this email, you should not be too far from the Lord Level."
"Now, I'll assign you a task."
"If you have a chance to return to Prohibition Island again, sneak into the dungeon of the Three Palaces on Prohibition Island and bring a message to someone called Yarrow Gu. The message is 'Thirty years; just hold on for another thirty years. We're succeeding very soon'.”
"But of course, your own safety is the most important thing!"
The message came to an abrupt end.
Fade frowned as he read it again.
Who was Yarrow Gu?
If he hung tight for another thirty years, they would succeed. What did that mean?
However, it was pointless to think about it. There would be no answer to this question no matter how hard he tried to think it through.
Anyhow, he did not plan to ask Aldred about it. After all, if it was meant for him to know, Aldred would have told him directly.
Since the old man had used such a roundabout way to pass the message to him, it must have meant that it was very important and confidential.
As he thought of this, Fade exited the web page and cleared his browser history. He even ignited and burned the USB stick into ashes.
He was still pondering on the words. That afternoon, another piece of news arrived.
It was from Prohibition Island, asking him to return to the island as soon as possible so he could attend a meeting there.
