Charleuse was so angry that he wanted to attack Fade and leave. However, when he heard the word "traitor", he suddenly stopped and stared at Fade. He gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Fade remained calm. He looked at Charleuse and said, "Firstly, Jenan was seriously injured, and now the convoy carrying the last ingredient was ambushed."
"I doubt you're not this naive to think that two incidents aren't related. There's no such thing as coincidence!"
The muscles on Charleuse's stiffened. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I have no idea what you are talking about. If you want to keep me here and continue to talk nonsense, then I'm going to leave now."
After that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Fade sighed and shook his head gently. Then, he said, "Mr. Zhu, if you think that I'm talking nonsense, then I suggest that you listen to what Jenan has to say!"
"What are you talking about?" Charleuse frowned.
Fade walked to the bedside and used his positive energy. He tapped on the bed and said, "I'm going to let Jenan tell you in person!"
While they were talking, Jenan, who had been lying on the bed and unconscious the whole time, actually opened his eyes at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Charleuse. At the same time, he said, "Master Zhu, I..."
"Jenan, you're awake! That's great...." Charleuse said excitedly.
Jenan waved his hand and said, "Master Zhu, please don't tell anyone about me. I just want to let you know that there's a traitor within the mayor's mansion and I'm guessing it's one of the eight elders."
"This..." Charleuse's face changed, and then he asked, "What happened? Who hurt you?"
Jenan shook his head gently. "I have no idea. The man was wearing a mask. I couldn't recognise him, but he's stronger than me and I'm pretty sure he's stronger than you. He might have reached Stage 9 of the Soul Refine Realm."
"What? We have a Stage 9 Soul Refine Realm cultivator among us?" Charleuse's face darkened.
Jenan continued, "Mr. Zhu, the other day, I went to Wasteland Desert to find a raw material that could unlock the Sun- Moon Sword which would help Skyle break through in his cultivation."
"Only a few people in the mayor's mansion know about this matter. However, my actions and timing were known by the other party. They were waiting in hiding to attack. Once I arrived, they launched a sneak attack on me. That's how I got injured."
"If I did not have the Heart-Protecting Mirror left by my ancestor, I'm afraid I would not be here now."
"Mr. Zhu, the day of Skyle's breakthrough is just around the corner. The most important thing for us now is to find out who the traitor is as soon as possible. Otherwise, I sense that there will be danger!"
After listening to these words, Charleuse was silent for a moment and asked, "Jenan, who do you suspect?"
This meant that Charleuse believed Jenan's words.
Jenan shook his head gently and said, "I don't know. I wished I had more details. At this moment, it could be anyone."
"Therefore, in order for us to find the traitor as soon as possible, we need to seek help."
Charleuse immediately understood what Jenan meant and turned to look at Fade.
Jenan explained at this time, "Fade saved my life and helped keep this a secret. I trust him!"
At this time, Fade also explained to Charleuse, "Jenan actually woke up when I treated him the other day. I originally wanted to help him, but at that time, he secretly transmitted a voice message to me, saying that there was a traitor within the mayor mansion and reminding me not to tell anyone. So, I cooperated with him and pretended that he was still in a coma."
After listening to Fade's explanation, Charleuse nodded slightly. He trusted Fade, wholeheartedly.
