Chapter 2798
A cosy yellow light warmed the icy Ice-sealed Tower. It stood still in the cold breeze, just like how it was when Fade first arrived.
"I'm back!"
Fade mumbled to himself and then stepped forward.
He pushed the door of the Ice-sealed Tower open and entered. A gust of cold wind followed behind him.
The moment they walked in, they caught the attention of the people in the room.
The front desk receptionist who had welcomed Fade before greeted him with a bright smile. "Mr. Chen, you are back from the Ice-sealed Realm. It must have been a fruitful trip!"
Fade did not respond. Instead, he glanced around and noticed a janitor, who was cleaning, leaving with a gloomy face.
"Where is Pacho?" Fade asked.
"Er..." The receptionist was surprised by the sudden question, but he pointed in a direction. "Mr. Chen, he is over there. Pacho is doing the accounts." "Thank you!"
Fade thanked him and led the three people into the room.
The receptionist's expression changed when he saw what was happening. He was utterly confused.
"Who are you?" A man standing at the door stopped Fade when he saw him coming over with a serious look.
"I'm looking for Pacho!" Fade said.
"Mr. Liu is not available now. Come back later," the man said.
Fade replied in a deep voice, "It's urgent."
"This is the Ice- sealed Tower. Nothing is urgent." The man was a little annoyed. He raised his eyebrows and snapped.
Fade looked at the man and repeated coldly, "I said, it can't wait any longer."
"Which part of the sentence did you not understand? Do you want me to call the guards?" The man pointed at Fade and shouted angrily.
He was, after all, Pacho's man. With the name of Prohibition Island, he held a pretty high position in the Ice- sealed Tower. Many workers in the tower had to treat him politely.
Yet now, Fade was obviously not showing any respect to him, so he was naturally upset about it.
Fade narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at him. Then, he said coldly, "Get lost!"
"You must have a death wish. Quick..." The man was about to call for backup.
However, before he could do so, Fade slapped his face hard. The man blacked out from the great force on the spot.
Then, Fade strode forward and kicked open the door.
"What are you doing!"
A shout came from inside the room. Pacho, who was sitting at the table, raised his head with an angry expression on his face. "Who has the audacity to..."
Before he could finish his words, Pacho recognized him as soon as he saw Fade.
The expression on his face instantly shifted and his eyes flickered. He looked at Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, what's with all this? Did I upset you?" Fade stared at him coldly and said in a low voice, "Munchy and Decay are dead."
"Uh... What does this have to do with me?" Pacho asked in confusion.
Fade did not answer but continued, "So are Bulwer, Tucamon, and Viktor; they're all dead." "Viktor is dead. You..." Pacho's eyes twitched and the expression on his face changed drastically when he heard the news.
Fade maintained the indifferent expression on his face and added, "Single Arm is dead and so is Taruca."
"They are all dead. I killed them all."
Hearing the news of Taruca's death, Pacho could no longer hide the shock from his face.
He stood up abruptly from his seat and said, "You... How dare you..."
Before he could finish, Fade stepped forward and stared at him coldly, "Now, do you know why I'm here?"
"I- I don't understand what you're talking about." Paco felt a pressure pressing down on him and took a step back. His voice began to tremble.
Fade shook his head and said in a disappointed tone, "Do I have to say it out loud?"
"Secondson, Ichigo, Taruca, and you; all of you have ganged up against me. I know everything."
Pacho's eyes flickered at Fade's words and he hurriedly explained "It's not what you think it is. I don't understand what you're talking about. I have nothing to do with them."
"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Fade sneered with obvious sarcasm.
However, Pacho insisted. "I'm telling the truth. I don't know what happened in the Ice-sealed Realm, and I know nothing about the collusion."
"Alas..." Fade let out a long sigh. He stared at Paco and threatened slowly, "Do you want me to hurt you in order for you to tell the truth?" "1-1 don't know..." Pacho was still refuting.
Fade said to the other three people behind him, "Go out and guard the door."
"Alright!"
They hurriedly went out and shut the door.
Fade rolled up his sleeves and got closer to Pacho, one step after another.
Pacho was so scared that he kept stumbling backwards. The panic on his face was clearly evident. "Don't you do anything stupid. I'm the. manager of the Ice-sealed Tower. I work for Prohibition Island. Ifyou dare to touch me..."
"I've killed Taruca. Do you think I would be scared of your little threats?" Fade sneered.
"I-1 really don't know anything!" Pacho was still arguing.
"It looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson." Fade sighed. His expression suddenly darkened as viciousness spread all over his face.
In no time, screams of agony came from the room, almost as if the roof would be overturned at any time.
The three disciples from the Final Sword Manor who were guarding the entrance innately became nervous.
"W-What did Master Chen do?"
"Isn't this too cruel?"
Jacinth gave them a look and said
coldly, "There is nothing cruel or merciless in the matter of life and death. Think about it. If we didn't meet Master Chen in the Ice- sealed Realm, what would have happened to us?"
"This..." Jacory and Irene fell silent.
Jacinth took the opportunity to lecture them. "We are warriors. In our world, the strong prey on the weak."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"You've been cultivating and growing up in the mountains. It's very quiet, peaceful, and harmonious there. However, that's not even half of what the real world is."
"The outside world is always brutal."
"Remember, what you are going through now is reality. If you want to live long, make sure to keep this in your heart."
"We shouldn't be wicked but we can't be softhearted fools either."
The two listened to their senior's words and lowered their heads in silence, pondering on her advice.
At this time, a burst of footsteps approached them quickly.
