"At this moment, Rayyan could not help but have doubts, and he considered retreating.
After all, his intention was to please the Loh family and get closer to them.
However, if he got himself involved in the struggle between the two big families because of the Gu family, things would be complicated. Not only would he not be able to gain any benefits, he might even get into trouble.
With that, he hesitated for a while and decided to ask his men to retreat.
However, at this time, a group of hunters rushed towards them.
Hadrian narrowed his eyes and noticed that they were Hanker and the others. He immediately waved his hand and greeted them, "Mr. Hanker, this way."
The group of men came over with serious expressions, and they all remained silent as they looked at Fade.
Hadrian thought their responses were strange.
Thus, he could not help but ask, "Mr. Hanker, what's wrong? Why are you all looking so upset? Haven't you enjoyed yourselves?"
Hanker did not answer. Instead, he looked at Fade and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, I have a question for you. Would you please tell me the truth?"
Fade set down the pastries and looked at him. Then, he asked, "What is it, Mr. Hanker?"
Hanker took a deep breath and uttered, "I want to know who you are and why you’re here in South Van City."
Fade's expression darkened upon hearing the question, and he frowned.
Meanwhile, Yolanda muttered in dissatisfaction, "Mr. Hanker, why are you asking this? Didn't Brother Chen already say that he's a relative of the Gu family and that he came to South Van City to look for them?"
Hadrian also sensed that something was amiss. He looked at Hanker and asked, "Hanker, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Hanker still did not answer their questions. He merely stared at Fade and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, are you really a relative of the Gu family?"
Fade's brows furrowed into a tight frown. When he told Hanker that he was a relative of the Gu family, he had not bothered to explain much to him for the sake of convenience.
However, now, judging by his questions. Hanker must have found out something.
After pausing for a moment, Fade explained, "Mr. Hanker, I do know the Gu family. I came to South Van City to find the Gu family for some matters."
He sucked in a deep breath, then continued, "Why do you ask these questions?"
Hanker remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Hadrian urged, "Hanker, what happened? Tell me!"
"Mr. Hanker, Brother Chen's our lifesaver. Don' t you think you' re being too rude?" Yolanda blurted out.
Hanker shook his head in response. His expression seemed somber as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, the sound of a group of people talking and discussing came from nearby.
"He's over there. Yes, it's him!"
Everyone was distracted by the noises, and they immediately looked over the source of the sound.
Then, they saw a group of uniformed guards coming over with stern looks on their faces.
A young man dressed like a hunter stood among the guards. He was Lemont of the beast hunting team.
Hadrian's expression darkened when he saw the group of men approaching them. He looked at Hanker and asked, "Hanker, what's going on? Why are the City Guards here? What is Lemont doing?"
