The beast hunting team held a high status in the village.
When Hadrian went back with the team, almost everyone in the village came out to welcome them.
After greeting each other, many villagers gave Fade gifts after knowing that he had saved Hadrian and Yolanda.
Although they gave him simple gifts such as drinks, grains, meat and clothes, it made him feel the kindness and warmth on this side of the world.
In the evening, the whole village became lively. Everyone brought out their wine and food without hesitation and prepared a meal for Fade.
They ate while chatting, then Hadrian ordered a few strong young men and an elder and said, "Mr. Hanker, why don't you come to the city with us tomorrow."
Hanker, who had gray hair, spoke while shaking his head, "I'm getting old. What's the point of me going? Wouldn't I be dragging you all down?"
Hadrian said, "Mr. Hanker, it's not that. Mr. Chen wants to look for someone in the city. I remembered that you know many people in the city. You can follow us to the city and maybe help to ask around."
"Looking for someone!” Hanker looked at Fade and asked, "Fade, who are you looking for?"
Fade paused as it was hard for him to say that he wanted to look for the Loh family, so he said, "I'm looking for someone from the Gu family."
"The Gu family? Are you perhaps talking about the famous Gu family of South Yan City?" Hanker asked in surprise.
Fade remembered that Talmon had once told him that the Loh and Gu family were both famous in South Yan City, so he was most probably right.
Thus, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's the
one."
At that moment, the scene became more lively.
"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to know someone from the Gu family? They're a big family in our South Van City!"
"Brother Chen, who are you looking for in the Gu family? Are you a relative of theirs?"
"It's no wonder you're so powerful, because you're an expert who is related to the Gu family!"
Everyone was laughing.
However, Lemont was observing while Yolanda and Fade were talking and laughing the whole time. At that moment, his eyes darkened and he was angry. He muttered, "You're a relative of the Gu family? Then why did you come to our small village?"
The dinner lasted until late at night because everyone didn't want it to be over so soon.
That night, Fade went to Hadrian's house to rest for the night.
Early in the morning the next day, Hadrian brought along the team whom he had given orders to the night before. With Hanker, Yolanda, and Fade coming along, they then headed towards South Yan City.
On the way, Hadrian explained the relevant situation to Fade.
Only then did Fade realize that the village was about four hours away from South Yan City.
Although it didn't seem like a long journey, there were still some forests and wilderness along the way. Occasionally, there would be some vicious beasts and bandits roaming around.
Therefore, every time they entered the city, they had to call up strong and powerful companions from the village to guard them all the way and to ensure the safety of their lives and belongings.
However, they were quite fortunate that time as they did not encounter any incidents along the way, and they reached the outskirts of the city safely. Perhaps it was because Fade was there.
There was a wall of about 20 to 30 meters high which stood in front of the crowd. Its shadow gave a sense of oppression and it looked shocking.
On the wall, there were armored guards standing every 10 meters, each holding a weapon in their hands.
