Chapter 2268


    "I..." Forbes'' lips moved. He had something else to say.


    Fade did not give him any chance for negotiation at all though. He interrupted him immediately, "If you don''t tell me, I will have you understand the definition of a living hell."


    Forbes met Fade''s chilling gaze and he did not dare to disobey. He answered quickly, "I''ll talk. I''m willing to talk."


    "First things first, let''s start with your identity," Fade instructed.


    Forbes began to exin, "I was originally an ordinary vige farmer. When I was sixteen, I left the vige to work for a year, but it was too tiring so I quit the job. I nned toe back."


    "As I was on my way, I met a middle-aged man. He was severely injured and was on the verge of death. He said that he didn''t want his legacy to be lost and he wanted to take me on as a disciple."


    "I thought he was a conman at first, but then, he revealed one of his moves to me. He shattered a block of stone with a punch, so I believed him. Afterwards, he spent three days passing down some basic martial arts cultivation methods, as well as some pills that were used by martial artists. Heter passed away due to his severe injuries."


    "I spent some time cultivating and found that my strength had increased. My power had also been enhanced. I was ted, and so, I began making a name for myself in town with martial arts."


    "As my skills sharpened, my reputation grew also. I also met with many other martial artists. While fighting them, lit became clear to me that the martial arts I was practicing was called the arts of ''Witch Blood''. It belonged to a branch of the Witchcraft n. It was a heresy practice which was not recognized by the government."


    "The man, who passed on these techniques to me that year, was being chased by a virtuous martial artist. He was gravely injured and in the end, he passed away."


    "As a matter of fact, the more I practiced this cultivation method, the more I craved fresh blood. I even had the urge to murder others so that I could drink their blood. I was afraid that I would be discovered by the virtuous martial artists, so I left the small town and remained outside for a few years."


    "A few years passed and I learned more about the martial artists and the martial arts world. I also secretly got to know some underground witchcraft practitioners." "Underground witchcraft practitioners? You guys even have an organization?" Fade''s eyes narrowed as he asked sternly.


    Forbes'' expression changed, and he exined immediately, "I- It''s not exactly an organization. It''s just some witchcraft practitioners who belong to the Witchcraft n. We gather from time to time to exchange martial arts experience and materials."


    "Then why did youe back this time?" Fade continued to ask in a frosty tone.


    Forbes paused for a moment and then answered, "I-1 came back because I wanted to participate in the Witchcraft Conference."


    "The Witchcraft Conference? What''s that? And don''t spare any details!" Fade ordered firmly.


    Forbes replied, "I''m unsure about the details. I just heard it from someone else."


    "They mentioned that the number of witchcraft practitioners in the country was dwindling due to the suppression and purge that happened decades ago. We don''t really have a sizable organization."


    "However, for the witchcraft practitioners who left and remained outside of the country, they survived. Not only were they not annihted, they actually had major developments all over the world, especially in South Asian countries."


    "These outside witchcraft practitioners will hold the Witchcraft Conference regrly. Witchcraft practitioners from all around the world would gather and discuss future developments. They would also have internal sparring matches or voting sessions."


    "To put it simply, the person who told me all this mentioned that it''s a grand gathering for witchcraft practitioners toe together and mingle. It also provides an opportunity for individual practitioners like us. Once we are able to find an organization of our own, perhaps we wouldn''t need to hide like rats anymore."


    "That is the reason why I came back home. I just wanted to have ample rest and improve my strength so that I could attend the Witchcraft Conference in my best shape."


    After listening to what he had to say, Fade was silent for a few seconds. He then looked at Forbes and continued to ask coolly, "The time and location of the Witchcraft Conference."


    "It will take ce three dayster in Pagodnd''s Mancho City. It''s a small city on the northern border of Pagodnd. The poption number is small and the rules over there are very lenient. That''s why it was chosen as the venue for the


    Witchcraft Conference."


    Fade noted down the date and ce. He continued with his questions about witchcraft practitioners, but Forbes didn''t know much about them. Finally, Fade showed him a picture of Liborio and Nergui, but Forbes still said that he didn''t know them.


    Once the questioning was done,


    Fade did not fake Forbes'' life in the public view. After all, there were still so many vigers present. He destroyed both of Mr. Forbes''

    cultivation and limbs, and he told the vigers to contact the local


    authorities so that they could deal with him.


    After all, the government might be able to use Forbes as a decoy and infiltrate the hidden witchcraft practitioners who remained underground.


    By the time the town''s authorities had arrived and settled the issue, it was already early in the morning.


    Fade didn''t rest. He headed straight towards the venue of the Witchcraft Conference, Mancho City in Pagodnd.


    Just as he was heading towards Mancho City, Liborio and Nergui, who had an earlier departure, had already arrived there.


    The father and son duo, together with Jason and


    Caesar, were ced in a local inn by Pascual, the witchcraft practitioner.


    The sudden departure from the country and being in a foreign country made Nergui more anxious.


    He wanted to ask Pascual what was going on, but heter found out that thetter actually sent two men to guard the door to their rooms. They were not allowed to leave.


    It was meant as a means of protection of course. This was to guard them from the dangers of being in a foreign country.


    The arrangement made Nergui even more suspicious of Pascual, and he became more worried.


    As for Liborio, who had always


    believed in Pascual, he was also a little nervous. That was because


    Caesar and Jason, who were then et


    important hostages for the revenge of his eldest son''s death, were taken away by the Pascual. He had not seen them again since then.


    ??


    The overthinking was wearing their patience thin and they paced back and forth in the room.


    Finally, when Pascual came to them, the two of them pulled him aside and questioned him.


    Being faced with their relentless


    questioning, Pascual finally gave up


    el


    and answered, "You two have nothing to worry about. We will definitely keep our promise." "However, we''re already out of the country. Now is the time to lure Edwald out! So we can avenge my eldest son''s death!" Liborio couldn''t


    hold back any longer. Content


    belongs to


    With a cold snort, Pascual said, "Your eldest son''s revenge is nothing important. We still have a great use for the two hostages."


    "Great use? What kind of great use?" Nergui was curious.


    Pascual narrowed his eyes, and stared straight at the both of them for a few seconds. He then stated, "It seems that you two really don''t know who they are."
