A cosy yellow light warmed the icy Ice-sealed Tower. It stood still in the cold breeze, just like how it was when Fade first arrived.
"I'm back!"
Fade mumbled to himself and then stepped forward.
He pushed the door of the Ice-sealed Tower open and entered. A gust of cold wind followed behind him.
The moment they walked in, they caught the attention of the people in the room.
The front desk receptionist who had welcomed Fade before greeted him with a bright smile. "Mr. Chen, you are back from the Ice-sealed Realm. It must have been a fruitful trip!”
Fade did not respond. Instead, he glanced around and noticed a janitor, who was cleaning, leaving with a gloomy face.
"Where is Pacho?" Fade asked.
"Er..." The receptionist was surprised by the sudden question, but he pointed in a direction. "Mr. Chen, he is over there. Pacho is doing the accounts."
"Thank you!"
Fade thanked him and led the three people into the room.
The receptionist's expression changed when he saw what was happening. He was utterly confused.
"Who are you?" A man standing at the door stopped Fade when he saw him coming over with a serious look.
"I'm looking for Pacho!" Fade said.
"Mr. Liu is not available now. Come back later," the man said.
Fade replied in a deep voice, "It's urgent."
"This is the Ice- sealed Tower. Nothing is urgent." The man was a little annoyed. He raised his eyebrows and snapped.
Fade looked at the man and repeated coldly, "I said, it can't wait any longer."
"Which part of the sentence did you not understand? Do you want me to call the guards?" The man pointed at Fade and shouted angrily.
He was, after all, Pacho's man. With the name of Prohibition Island, he held a pretty high position in the Ice- sealed Tower. Many workers in the tower had to treat him politely.
Yet now, Fade was obviously not showing any respect to him, so he was naturally upset about it.
Fade narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at him. Then, he said coldly, "Get lost!"
"You must have a death wish. Quick..." The man was about to call for backup.
However, before he could do so, Fade slapped his face hard. The man blacked out from the great force on the spot.
Then, Fade strode forward and kicked open the door.
"What are you doing!"
A shout came from inside the room. Pacho, who was sitting at the table, raised his head with an angry expression on his face.
"Who has the audacity to..."
Before he could finish his words, Pacho recognized him as soon as he saw Fade.
The expression on his face instantly shifted and his eyes flickered. He looked at Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, what's with all this? Did I upset you?"
Fade stared at him coldly and said in a low voice, "Munchy and Decay are dead."
"Uh... What does this have to do with me?" Pacho asked in confusion.
Fade did not answer but continued, "So are Bulwer, Tucamon, and Viktor; they're all dead." "Viktor is dead. You..." Pacho's eyes twitched and the expression on his face changed drastically when he heard the news.
Fade maintained the indifferent expression on his face and added, "Single Arm is dead and so is Taruca."
