The three of them looked up and saw Albany rushing over with a group of people.
"Mr. Loh!" Jacinth greeted him first.
At that moment, another scream was heard from the room.
Albany pointed to the room and asked, "Guys, what's going on?"
Jacinth explained expressionlessly, "Master Chen is inside. He's discussing some matters with Pacho."
"You call this a discussion? He is clearly killing someone in there!"
"Pacho is from our Ice- sealed Tower. How dare you hit him! Get out of the way now!"
Several people were indignant and were about to rush in.
However, Jacinth stayed still. She repeated coldly in a low voice, "Master Chen said he's settling matters in there. No one is allowed to disturb him."
While she spoke, another miserable groan sounded. The people outside were so frightened that their muscles started to twitch.
"Let's break in!"
"D*mn it! This is going too far. How dare you attack us in our own territory. Do you think that we're easy targets?"
"Even if Mr. Chen is from Prohibition Island, you can't do this!"
Some of the men were furious and were about to attack.
Jacinth raised her eyebrows to signal Jacory and Irene to get ready to fight back.
Before they broke out into a fight, Albany frowned and yelled, "Stop!"
"Mr. Loh, this..."
"But Pacho, he..."
"It will be too late if we don't save him now, Mr. Loh!"
Albany paid no attention to their complaints.
He waved his hand and ordered, "Wait outside. Don't do anything."
"But..."
Some tried to retort, but Albany's expression darkened and he fumed, "This is my order!"
Instantly, no one dared to make a sound.
Just like that, Pacho's screeches were heard constantly from the room.
Outside, it was serene. Everyone waited quietly at the door, creating a strange scene.
Fifteen minutes later, the screams finally stopped.
The people waiting outside finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their tensed bodies loosened up a little.
Those fifteen minutes were torturous. To them, it felt like one month had passed.
With a creak, the wooden door opened.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Fade walked out slowly, wiping the blood on his hand.
Seeing the crowd at the door, he did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and greeted them, "Oh Mr. Loh, you're here too."
Albany smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, what... What's going on inside? Pacho...”
Fade wiped his hands clean and threw the blood-stained white cloth back into the room. He replied calmly, "It's no big deal. Someone wants to kill me. Pacho knows about it so I came to ask him."
His words were simple, yet they were enough to make Albany tremble. The rumors he heard recently came to his mind.
He did not question anything, but respectfully said, "Oh, I see. Have you solved the problem? If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."
