The three of them looked up and saw Albany rushing over with a group of people.

"Mr. Loh!" Jacinth greeted him first.

At that moment, another scream was heard from the room.

Albany pointed to the room and asked, "Guys, what's going on?"

Jacinth explained expressionlessly, "Master Chen is inside. He's discussing some matters with Pacho."

"You call this a discussion? He is clearly killing someone in there!"

"Pacho is from our Ice- sealed Tower. How dare you hit him! Get out of the way now!"

Several people were indignant and were about to rush in.

However, Jacinth stayed still. She repeated coldly in a low voice, "Master Chen said he's settling matters in there. No one is allowed to disturb him."

While she spoke, another miserable groan sounded. The people outside were so frightened that their muscles started to twitch.

"Let's break in!"

"D*mn it! This is going too far. How dare you attack us in our own territory. Do you think that we're easy targets?"

"Even if Mr. Chen is from Prohibition Island, you can't do this!"

Some of the men were furious and were about to attack.

Jacinth raised her eyebrows to signal Jacory and Irene to get ready to fight back.

Before they broke out into a fight, Albany frowned and yelled, "Stop!"

"Mr. Loh, this..."

"But Pacho, he..."

"It will be too late if we don't save him now, Mr. Loh!"

Albany paid no attention to their complaints.

He waved his hand and ordered, "Wait outside. Don't do anything."

"But..."

Some tried to retort, but Albany's expression darkened and he fumed, "This is my order!"

Instantly, no one dared to make a sound.

Just like that, Pacho's screeches were heard constantly from the room.

Outside, it was serene. Everyone waited quietly at the door, creating a strange scene.

Fifteen minutes later, the screams finally stopped.

The people waiting outside finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their tensed bodies loosened up a little.

Those fifteen minutes were torturous. To them, it felt like one month had passed.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Fade walked out slowly, wiping the blood on his hand.

Seeing the crowd at the door, he did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and greeted them, "Oh Mr. Loh, you're here too."

Albany smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, what... What's going on inside? Pacho..."

Fade wiped his hands clean and threw the blood-stained white cloth back into the room. He replied calmly, "It's no big deal. Someone wants to kill me. Pacho knows about it so I came to ask him."

His words were simple, yet they were enough to make Albany tremble. The rumors he heard recently came to his mind.

He did not question anything, but respectfully said, "Oh, I see. Have you solved the problem? If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

Fade responded, "Mr. Loh, you're too

kind. It has been settled. I would like

Pacho to accompany me back to

Prohibition Island if you could justet

approve his leave from the

Ice-sealed Tower." "Sure, your business is much more important. Ibarrange someone to take over Pacho's duties," Albany replied.

Fade said, "Thank you, Mr. Loh."

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen. Are you going to stay here tonight? I'll send someone to prepare a guest room for you right away."

Fade waved his hand and rejected. "No, thank you. I'll be leaving with Pacho now."

"I'll see you off then," Albany offered respectfully.

With numerous guests looking at them in surprise and confusion, Albany respectfully escorted Fade and the others out of the Ice-sealed Tower. He didn't turn around until Fade's figure was completely out of sight. When he returned to the tower, the staff members were all confused. They did not understand the situation.

"Mr. Loh, why are you so polite to that Chen guy?"

"He has hurt Pacho! Pacho is, after all, an elder from Prohibition Island. How dare he do this to him!" "Pacho gets along well with the Chief of Mad Dragon Hall. If he knows what happened here, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it ourselves!"

Albany waved his hand to silence the crowd before saying, "Something big is about to happen on Prohibition Island. Don't worry about it. Just mind your own jobs."

After that, he turned around and left.

On the other side, Fade brought Pacho, who was basically half dead, along, and sprinted across the snowy land.

Pacho had told him everything he knew when he was interrogated in the room earlier.

He had sold out Master Secondson and Ichigo, and had also come clean that he was the one who offered 100,000 pieces of Frozen Jade Ice as the reward for Fade's head. On top of that, he had always been in contact with Taruca. Presently, Fade was on his way to question the people of Prohibition Island.

Leaving the freezing area, Fade bid goodbye to the three from Final Sword Manor.

Now that he was alone with Pacho, he accelerated his pace and returned to Prohibition Island.

In Skytop Palace on Prohibition Island, the Three Palace masters and the Chiefs of the Sixteen Inner Halls had gathered in the hall again.

This was their second meeting in a month.

Such frequent meetings were rare on Prohibition Island, even in the past few decades.

That day, the main subject of the meeting was related to Fade, the same topic they had for the last meeting.

Master Firstson sat on the main seat in the center and began in a low voice, "I just received the news that Fade has come out of the Ice-sealed Realm."

As soon as he finished his words, the audience began to chatter.

"How dare that traitor come back! He deserves to die!"

"Where's Taruca? Isn't he guarding the Ice-sealed Realm? How did he get out?"

"We should send someone over to arrest that guy immediately."

"Put that traitor to death!"

Amidst the noisy discussion, Janus frowned and said bitterly, "Things are not clarified yet. You'd better pick your words carefully."

However, Ichigo, who was on the

opposite side, immediately turned to him. "Janus, it's been a month. Fade has joined forces with Double Blades against Taruca and has fled to the depth of the Ice- sealed Realm. It's a fact; what else are you unsure of!"

"Those are just one-sided words" Janus snapped in a low voice.

Ichigo snorted, "Many of our disciples and other warriors in the Ice-sealed Realm have witnessed it. Are you sure they are one-sided words?"

"I won't believe in any rumors until I hear from Fade myself," Janus insisted.

"You..." Ichigo was enraged and was about to say something.

However, at this time, a disciple rushed in with an anxious look and suddenly knelt down in front of them. "Master, I have an urgent matter to report."

"Say it!" Firstson ordered in a low voice.

The disciple had no time to catch his breath as he hurriedly reported, "I just received the news that Taruca and twenty six disciples were all killed. As reported by the other warriors in the realm, it was Fade." "What!"

In an instant, the hall was in an uproar like boiling water, and the scene became rowdy.
