Shocked at the scene, the people's displeasure towards Fade grew.
"Quick, detain them," one of the guests demanded.
"Barbarians like him have no place in Jade City. Send him back!" Another aristocrat added.
"What a ruffian. So rude and uncivilized." Several people whispered among themselves.
Hearing their insults, Fade turned around and gave them the death stare. Taken aback, the crowd shut up instantly.
Thereupon, the security personnel went up to Fade and Lily to remove them from the scene.
Fade said coldly, "What do you think you're doing?"
The head of security solemnly said, "Sir, you are not welcome here. You used violence against one of our patrons. If you refuse to cooperate, we will have to use force."
Fade was getting impatient, and he was about to lash out.
However, a woman's shout echoed over. "Who dares drive them out?"
The head of security turned towards the sound. He was surprised to see Nita, and his tone changed quickly to one of courtesy, "Miss Nita, what brings you here?"
Nita was furious, shouting, "How dare you to ask me why I'm here when you're driving my guests off the ship?"
"Your guests? This..." The head of security was dumbfounded. His gaze shifted to Lily and Fade as he said in surprise, "Could it be..."
Nita said, "Yes, Mr. Chen and Miss Wei are my guests. Do you have a problem with that?"
The head of security was speechless for a moment, then shook his head. "No, absolutely not."
"Then what are you still standing there for? Move it!" Nita roared.
The head of security made way for Nita.
A flurry of gossip arose from the crowd behind them. They were shocked by the fact that Fade and Lily were here at Nita's invitation.
However, just as Fade and Lily stepped on the deck, a loud shout was heard from behind them, "They can't go in."
The voice came from Efrian, very much drenched in seawater from being thrown overboard earlier.
Nita gazed coldly at Efrain and said, "Are you denying my guests entry?"
Upon this, Efrian tensed up. After all, Nita was someone that even he looked up to.
Despite this, his grudge got the better of him as he said to Nita angrily, "Miss Nita, I look up to you very much, but these two have gone too far by throwing me overboard. Even if they are here at your request, I cannot overlook this matter."
Concurrently, a cacophony of voices echoed throughout the crowd.
Most of them agreed with Efrian's point of view.
Nita frowned at the situation as she thought of an excuse.
At that moment, Fade spotted a familiar face among the crowd. He called out, "Eduard!"
