Fade Chen took out a booklet and handed it to Elder Chai, saying, 'Tm here to return this."
"This..." The elder took over the booklet and examined it closer. Instantly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "The Cloud-Reaching Skill, this is something that the clan has been looking for for ages."
"Mr. Chen, are you the one who killed the traitor, Feather Gu, in Hanover City?" Elder Chai looked at Fade expectantly.
Fade nodded and said, "Yes, that's me. I happened to come here on my way, so I thought about returning this booklet back to the Cloud Clan."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen." Elder Chai saluted deeply towards Fade.
Fade Chen was about to leave but was stopped by Elder Chai, who wanted to get all the elders together to thank him in person.
Fade agreed and 15 minutes later, 8 elders had gathered in the clan's side hall. As the Guardian of the clan, Donavan Zhuo was not there, Elder Chai was the one who had the most authority there. He took out the booklet and started explaining the whole incident to
the other elders.
After hearing the story, all the elders were in ecstasy and quickly took a look at the Cloud Reaching Skill booklet. After confirming that it was the real deal, the elders immediately thanked Fade politely.
Fade responded by waving his hand as a gesture of goodwill.
But at this time, a somewhat unfriendly voice could be heard amongst the crowd, saying "Mr. Chen, may I ask you a question?"
Everyone including Fade turned towards the voice. An elder in his fifties that had eyes as sharp as daggers was glaring at him sternly. Fade lowered his gaze and replied, "Yes, please do."
The elder glanced around and asked, "I would like to know, how did you find Feather, how did you kill him, and how did you find the Cloud Reaching Skill?"
As soon as these questions were asked, Fade's expression hardened.
Everyone's expression froze in awkwardness and Elder Chai quickly came over. He snapped, "Elder Hu, Mr. Chen has done a great favor for us. What do you mean by this?"
Elder Hu shook his head and looked at Fade, saying, "If everything is true, Mr. Chen is naturally the benefactor of our Clan. But I'm worried that something is wrong."
"Wrong? What do you mean?" Fade asked coldly.
Elder Hu's eyes narrowed as his gaze was fixated on Fade and asked sternly, "According to the rumors, Feather has now reached midBlack Level and has overwhelming strength. I want to ask you, Mr. Chen, you're in your mid twenties, so how did you manage to kill Feather since he's at mid-Black Level?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but stare at Fade. Although they didn't doubt what he said, but they were still curious to how he was so powerful.
Upon hearing this, Fade simply said, "How, you ask? I merely defeated him, then I killed him. That's all there is."
"Defeat him?" Elder Hu let out a muffled snort. "That’s easy for Mr. Chen to say. Then, may I ask you, Mr. Chen, how did you defeat an expert at the mid-Black Level? You should know that with Feather’s current strength, even a few elders like us would be at a disadvantage if we were to fight against him." Fade sneered and said, "I defeated him with strength alone. How else would I have defeated him?"
"Nonsense!" Elder Hu sneered. "Mr. Chen, you're exaggerating. To defeat a professional at the mid-Black Level, you would have to be at the peak of the Black Level. Or do you mean that you've already attained that level?"
As soon as he finished asking, Elder Hu shook his head with a look of disbelief. The elders around him did not think it was possible.
