Later, Fade told Janus the whole story. Except for the matter about the Double Blades organization, Fade did not hide anything from him.
After hearing this, anger and disbelief were written all over Janus' face. "Taruca is so bold. How dare he..."
Fade said slowly, "Chief, it's all in the past now."
Janus looked at him and said, "Fade, I had originally planned to nurture you in Green Wood Hall and let you take over the Hall in the future. However, I didn't expect you to improve so quickly. In just a few years, you have become one of the Hall Chiefs."
"Thank you for your care, Chief," Fade said.
Janus waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. You can skip the polite conversation. You achieved it all with your own strength."
Then, he looked at Fade seriously and said.
"Fade, I know that you don't have much sense of belonging to Prohibition Island and with this incident, you may even be dissatisfied with them. However, I hope that you don't take it to heart. After all, you are one of us."
Hearing this, Fade remembered that his master was the president of the Double Blades. Thus, he could only stay silent.
He raised his head and looked Janus in the eyes, saying, "No matter what, I will never forget your kindness to me."
Hearing Fade's words, Janus was slightly stunned. He seemed to have noticed something.
However, he did not question any further. He just let out a long sigh and said, "Great!"
"By the way, you just came back from the Ice-sealed Realm so you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest."
It seemed like Janus was going to send him off.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Chief. I'll get going."
Fade stood up and bowed to Janus before he left.
Looking at Fade's retreating figure, Janus sighed, shook his head, and muttered, "I hope my worries will not become a reality."
"Chief, what are you worried about?" Camelia walked over and asked softly.
Janus shook his head and did not answer.
After leaving Green Wood Hall, Fade headed for Mad Dragon Hall. After all, he was now the Chief of Mad Dragon Hall. Naturally, he had to return to his own territory to take a look.
However, when he entered the Hall, a strange atmosphere enveloped him.
It was dead silent in the huge hall. No one spoke and no one came out to welcome him.
When he walked in, he saw several figures hiding in the corner. They quickly turned around and left, pretending that they did not see him walk in.
He knew why they were acting like this. He ignored them and entered the main hall.
Without hesitation, he sat on his throne.
Finally, an elder walked up to Fade, cupped his hands, and was about to kneel to him. "Welcome back, Chief."
"Please, you don't have to be so courteous." Fade made a gentle gesture with his right hand, and an invisible force lifted the elder and helped him stand on his feet.
