Fade was annoyed by the clamoring crowd. As he swept his eyes over the crowd, he locked eyes with Sam. Fade bellowed, "Tell me, what relationship do you have with those people?"
Startled by the question, Sam acted dumb and replied, "Who? What relationship? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Fade turned around and slapped him in the face. He lifted the cloth on the stretcher, revealing Ulrick's corpse. He said icily, "He's dead. Do you wish to share the same fate as him?"
Although Sam was stubborn, he was no match for Fade after all. When he saw the corpse, he trembled in fear. He frantically waved his hands, saying, "I, I, I didn't..."
"Tell me everything you know." Fade shouted.
Sam hesitated for a moment. However, when he saw the corpse, he shuddered and immediately began explaining the whole situation in detail.
It turns out that someone bribed Sam yesterday and had given him 50,000 yuan to deliberately stir trouble with them up on the mountain. Regardless of what kind of method Sam used, as long as it held back the Sun family sufficiently, he would be
paid another 50,000 yuan.
How could Sam resist 100,000 yuan? Hence, he spent the night coming up with a plan.
As soon as he realised that the Sun family had arrived, Sam made his move immediately, coming up the mountain to stir up trouble. He even planned to get the villagers involved, and that is why when Roy promised to compensate them, Sam took the opportunity to incite chaos.
As the other villagers heard the truth from him, all of them suddenly grew furious at Sam. They wanted to tear him into pieces.
"D*mn it, I came all the way here just to avenge you, but you are merely using us."
"I'm already bleeding, yet you're still making money out of us. Explain yourself. Otherwise, I'll ruin your family."
"It's a shame someone like you is our Village Head. I propose to have someone else replace you as the Village Head."
The villagers' hot- blooded opposition was overwhelming Sam.
Seeing as he can no longer glean anything useful from Sam, Fade decided to ignore the man and let the angry mob deal with him. Thereupon, he rushed down the mountain with the Sun family.
On the way down, Fade couldn't help but worry about Ulrick's sinister threat towards Quin. He immediately took out his phone and called her.
Quin picked up the phone, surprised at Fade's sudden call.
Fade heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her voice. However, he explained the situation to Quin and told her to be careful in Jade City and keep an eye out for anyone suspicious.
Quin nodded and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Fade called Lucas again and asked him to tighten security around Quin. He will head to Jade City as soon as possible.
After all, this time, the opponent was not quite so simple.
Ulrick displayed a mastery of at least the early stage of Earth Level. Moreover, he had an Ice Lotus Seed with him, which was a very rare item.
It was a little worrying for Fade. To be on the safe side, he prepared to head to Jade City to personally protect his wife.
The members of the Sun family quickly returned to their home in the city. Francesca's injuries were not serious, and she would be alright after some rest.
On the other hand, Fade was more concerned about Shinnie who had fallen victim to the Ice Lotus Seed.
An Ice Lotus Seed had also been planted in Quin's body. Even someone as powerful as Fade did not know how to deal with it; the only thing he could do was to slow it down and ease its effects.
