When Fath emerged from the study, Guding and others noticed he didn't appear troubled, so they guessed things must have gone well.
"I am now officially a member of the Guding Pirate Group!" Fath announced with a smile to Guding and Robert.
As for the conditions he had agreed to with Stephen, only the family of three knew. Even the Sea Emperor deliberately avoided investigating the study and didn't know the content of their recent conversation. Fath also had no plans to bring it up in front of Guding and others.
When the other members of the Gates family found out about Fath's departure, they were somewhat surprised, as they had assumed his parents would never agree to such a matter.
Before leaving, Guding and his group went with Fath to visit the old butler, Everred.
