Chapter 1682


    Narumi coped with the situation skillfully. Liza, who did not mind thepliments that wereing


    from her surroundings, got off the stage and came to Fade, asking with concern, "Fade, are you


    hurt?"


    He smiled andforted her, "Liza, don''t worry, I''m fine. A martial artist at the peak of the Earth


    Level can''t hurt me yet."


    "It''s good that you''re not injured." She smiled, "This time, it''s all thanks to you. I don''t even know


    how I should show my gratitude..."


    He waved his hand, "It''s something I''ve promised you. You don''t have to be so polite."


    "Everyone is waiting for you to speak as the new president of Hachi n. Go ahead!" He said to


    her with a smile.


    She nced at the throng around Narumi, nodded and walked over.


    She then gave a speech in public and gained a warm round of apuse.


    Although Fade didn''t quite understand what she was saying, he could guess the overall meaning. It


    was nothing more than to thank everyone for their support, and that she would develop and lead the


    Hachi n towards advancement in the future.


    That night, the entire Hachi n headquarters was transformed into a sea of joy.


    Narumi hosted a grand celebration banquet and had a good drink with the people who had pledged


    allegiance to the Hachi n. At the same time, he took the opportunity to draw everyone over to his


    side so that they could establish partnership in the future.


    As Fade didn''t share the samenguage with them and didn''t like such asions, he left after a


    simple social engagement.


    After returning to his room, he washed up, changed into a new set of clothes, and prepared to head


    out.


    He wanted to meet with the investigation team. Earlier in the battling arena, he found that Joben


    from the Akao family had been taking the genestrengthening liquid for a long time. He was almost


    certain that the disappearance of Professor Song had something to do with the Akao family.


    Therefore, he had to inform Cindy and the others, and at the same time, discuss future ns and


    arrangements.


    As a result of the grand banquet, the Hachi n headquarters was somehow deserted at this time


    of the night. There were only patrolling personnel who asionally strolled around. Almost


    everyone else gathered in the living room.


    Fade passed through a nearby courtyard and was ready to go out through the side door.


    However, just as he was about to leave, he saw two dark shadows quietly scurrying into the woods


    on the side.


    "Did someone sneak in?" He couldn''t help but be alert. He changed his mind instantly and stealthily


    followed the two shadows.


    The area of the woods was notrge but it was exquisitely decorated. There were all kinds of trees,


    flowers, and nts, as well as artificial mountains and rocks that were especially brought in for


    decoration.


    Yet, in the midst of the starry night, those strange silhouettes added a gloomy atmosphere to the


    woods.


    Nheless, it was also convenient for Fade to follow them from behind. He hid behind various


    trees and stones, catching up with the shadows in no time.


    The duo stopped in a small pavilion, and Fade halted behind a stone more than ten meters away,


    observing what was going on.


    Seeing the silhouettes of the duo, Fade discovered that they were a man and a woman. He


    immediately grew even more curious.


    At that time, the two of them started to speak.


    The woman, who spoke first, asked, "Eichi, what is the secret you mentioned?"


    Upon hearing the voice, Fade was surprised and his face showed astonishment. The voice was


    familiar to him. It was none other than Liza.


    Although Fade did not understand what she said, he still could hear the name, Eichi.

    Fade, who was suspicious, alerted in an instant, "These two are Eichi and Liza. ording to the


    meaning of her words, it seems that he had asked her toe out and told her that he had secrets


    to let her know."


    Just as Fade was shocked and alert, Eichi said, "Liza, actually, this matter is of great importance.


    You must not spread it!"


    "Huh, what the hell is that!" She was even more curious.


    Eichi walked two steps towards her. The two of them got closer and were almost pressed against


    each other.


    She seemed to be slightly surprised by such intimacy and she subconsciously moved back a step.


    However, at that moment, Eichi suddenly rose up and lifted his palm, pping the nape of her neck


    with all his might.


    She did not expect him tounch an attack against her. She could not help but be surprised, "Eichi,


    you..."


    Before she could finish her words, her body went limp and was about to fall to the ground.


    Eichi stretched out his arm and pulled Liza into his embrace. He then looked down at her, who was


    unconscious, and said, "Liza, why won''t you ept me? We could have been a couple and lead the


    Hachi n together. However, you did this to me, and I have no choice..."


    Just as he sighed emotionally, Fade sprung out and rushed over.


    With Fade''s speed, he might be able to save Liza before Eichi took action. However, he did not


    expect that Eichi would actually attack her. Therefore, he did not manage to act in time.


    As Eichi was sighing emotionally, he saw a ck shadow rushing towards him. He couldn''t help but


    be shocked. Shouting and striking out his palm in the direction of the shadow, he questioned, "Who


    is it?"


    However, how could his attack hit Fade, given that his level was below par?


    Fade avoided the attack with ease and rushed into the pavilion, hitting Eichi''s shoulder and


    knocking him backwards. He then carried Liza over, put his palm on her back, and injected her with


    positive energy.


    After being knocked back by Fade, Eichi staggered and when he saw the face of the ck shadow


    clearly, he couldn''t help but put on a ferocious and angry expression, "It''s you, Fade."


    Fade looked at him coldly, "What are you doing? Why did you do that to Liza?"


    With his facial expression changing, Eichi quietly moved his hands and attempted to find an excuse,


    "You misunderstood me. I, I was just..."


    Fade hadpletely noticed his little movements as he shouted out coldly all of a sudden, "You


    betrayed Liza."


    While they were talking, Fade was ready to leave with her.


    Eichi called out coldly upon seeing that, "Take action, kill him!"


    In an instant, more than a dozen people jumped out from the woods and charged towards Fade.


    He could only stop healing Liza for the time being and turned to attack those bunch of people.


    In the midst of the fight, Fade realized that all of them had extraordinary abilities. They were almost


    all warriors within the range of intermediate until advanced stage of the Earth Level. Among them,


    Fade found some familiar faces who were the internal members of the Hachi n.


    Seeing such a situation, he was in shock. He looked at Eichi fiercely and said in a harsh voice, "The


    Uchida family betrayed Liza, and you all want to rebel?"


    "Since you know so much, it''s time for you to die," Eichi said, gritting his teeth andunching an


    attack at Fade at the same time.


    "If you want to kill me, it won''t be so easy," Fade coldly harrumphed. He thenunched his attack


    with a rumbling sound.
