Chapter 2033


    After thinking about Fade''s words, Joey then added, "Fade, you''re right. However, none of the kidnappers were female."


    "Furthermore, if Tiana really did do it, maybe she already knew about it long ago. She could''ve arranged for backup from the Long family back in the club to ambush you."


    "Why would she rush in at the veryst minute and allow all those people to die? Especially Tarlo; he''s her younger brother!"


    After listening to Joey, Fade''s brows furrowed.


    She was right. It seemed that Tiana didn''t know about this in advance because her actions wouldn''t have made sense otherwise.


    However, he still held his doubts about Tiana. He felt that he seemed to have dismissed something, but he couldn''t remember what it was just then.


    He had no clue about it, so in the end, he could only shake his head and forget about the whole fiasco. "Joey, this incident will definitely be investigated. By then, just be truthful when the authorities question you." "Don''t worry, I''ll be with you," he added.


    She nodded. "Yes, Fade! I believe in you."


    As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from the door. A servant came in and reported, "Mr. Chen, there are two people at the door. They im to be members of the n Committee, saying that they have business to discuss with you. I don''t know if you..."


    "I didn''t expect that they woulde so fast!" Fade smiled and then stood up. "Just tell them that I''ll be there soon."


    An hourter, Fade, Joey, and Lily arrived at the headquarters of the n Committee.


    When they entered a room that was simr to a courtroom, everyone''s gaze immediately turned towards them.


    Fade took a quick nce and immediately noticed a lot of acquaintances.


    There were disciples of ns like Halston, Kaegan, Kelly, Pluto, and several Heaven Level disciples, and the leaders of the major organizations such as Galeno, Cannon, and Baldrick.


    Of course, there were the Long family members, who were ring at Fade with scarlet eyes.


    Hamilton, Mathilda, and Tiana were all dressed in ck as they stood across the room, sorrow written all over their faces.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "You murderer. Give me my son back!"


    "Fade, I want you to pay with your life."


    When Hamilton and Mathilda saw Fade entering the room, they immediately started shouting out of anger.


    Fade''s expression was cold and he did not avoid their gazes. He stated coldly, "He deserved to die!"


    "How dare you!" Hamilton and Mathilda were both infuriated at his words, and their expressions changed drastically. Their breathing started getting heavier, and they wanted nothing more than to attack Fade at that moment.


    When Greg ary, who sat on the stage, saw that the situation was about to get out of control, he shouted sternly, "Quiet!"


    His majestic aura spread across the room, and the room quietened down instantly. All eyes were focused on him.


    Gregory swept his gaze across the crowd and then continued, "Today, we gather here because of the murder incident of Tarlo and the others." "About this case, it happened..."


    Because it wasn''t an official trial, they did not strictly adhere to rigorous rules. Gregory quickly gave everyone a recount of what had happened. The audience listened in silence, their expressions remaining calm. Many of them already knew about the incident.


    However, many nced at Fade as they listened. They knew that he was both powerful and arrogant, but they never would''ve thought that he would dare to attack the Long family, and even kill their Crown Prince.


    After introducing the case, 6 reg ary looked at the Long family and asked, "As the intiff, what do you have to say?"


    Mathilda responded, "We want a death sentence for Fade, a life in exchange for a life."


    Hamilton held his extremely agitated


    wife and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, for the case where my son


    has been killed by Fade, we require the n Committee to make a fair verdict and severely punish the murderer."


    In the end, Tiana agreed, "The murderer must be severely punished."


    After that, Gregary looked at Fade and asked, "Fade, as the defendant of the case, what do you have to say?"


    Fade did not evade the question and answered, "I was the one who killed Tarlo and the others!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into an uproar. Although they already knew that he was the one behind it all, they never thought that he would openly admit it.


    Hamilton and Mathilda immediately grew infuriated.


    "Mr. Zhao, you heard it. He has already admitted it. Just kill him; he has to pay for my son''s life!"


    "Capture him. He''s the murderer. Seize him immediately."


    However, at this moment, Fade snorted coldly and repeated, "I killed Tarlo!"


    "However, there''s a reason as to why I killed him!"


    He then proceeded to present all the facts and evidence.


    The fact that Joey and the others had been kidnapped, and the motive behind it, had all been exposed to the public.


    In an instant, everyone burst into fierce discussion.


    Fade stated, "The Long family hurt my friends first. All I did was defend them, and defend myself."


    "Bullsh*t, what proof is there that the Long family did all that? We can''t even see who the men in the ck clothes were!" Mathilda returned angrily.


    Fade red at her and retorted, "If it wasn''t you guys, then why would Joey and the other girls have ended up in Tarlo''s room?"


    "Well, I..." Mathilda fell speechless for a moment.


    Hamilton then piped up, "Even so, the girls hadn''t been seriously hurt. You, however, killed my son. That is not self-defense; it''s murder."


    Fade snorted at his reply. "The girls


    weren''t hurt because I managed to arrive in the nick of time, and


    prevented any harm from being


    done upon them. Otherwise, you too know what would''ve happened!"


    "You killed my son. That is a fact which can''t be changed!" Hamilton insisted through gritted teeth.


    "He deserved to die!" Fade returned unceremoniously.


    "You''re the one who''s going to die. You''re the murderer. I''ll make you pay for what you''ve done," Mathilda roared.


    Seeing that both sides were about to


    start fighting, 6 reg ary shouted


    sternly for them to quiet down. "Silence, all of you! We will evaluate the evidence presented and make a decision. For now, we will rest."


    After saying that, he left with a group of staff members.


    The rest of the people left instantly burst into an uproar.


    Everyone started discussing the incident, making assumptions about what would happen.
