Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1110

Harper, Sonia and Abell watched the entire situation play out in surprise.

Sonia glanced at Fade and started to speak good-naturedly, "Mr. Chen, you're doing so well in Jade City! You took us to eat in a two-star Michelin restaurant, and now you've managed to get us into a martial arts hall without much of a hassle as well!"

"It's honestly not a big deal. It's nothing worth mentioning," Fade answered lightly.

Even though he had kept his tone relatively neutral and light, Harper and Abell took it as a show of prowess on Fade's part.

Harper's expression hardened instantly as he muttered, "So what? Isn't it just a restaurant and a martial arts hall? With money, anything can be arranged! It's nothing to gloat about."

Momo glared at her cousin but otherwise remained silent.

Meanwhile, Abell merely narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Money and status are just accessories to me. I believe that a person's true capabilities can only be determined by their strength." "If one has the strength, money, authority and status will without a doubt be accompanied with it. It's honestly nothing worth mentioning."

"Don't think that I'll be impressed just because you've deliberately showed off in front of me! To earn my respect, you'll have to prove that you're a real martial arts expert," Abell declared proudly. Fade smiled faintly at that and answered, "I agree with your point of view. Indeed, other things as compared to a person's own capabilities and strength are nothing but subsidiary."

In return, Abell sneered, "Do you think kissing up to me like that will make me show you mercy?! Save your breath! I don't care what you have to say; I'm not holding back my strength to appease you no matter what."

Fade could only resort to stare blankly at Abell after that, having been rendered speechless.

He admired this guy's love and admiration for martial arts. However, his world view was too limited and he lacked experience. Fade thought that the arrogance he possessed was a little laughable at that point. "What are you laughing at?!" Abell growled, furrowing his brows in confusion when he saw Fade chuckle while shaking his head.

Fade merely waved a dismissive hand at him and replied faintly, "It's nothing. You wanted to compete with me, right? Let's begin then!"

With that, Fade got into position and beckoned for Abell to make the first move with a hand.

"Oh? You want me to initiate the attack? How arrogant! Well, let's see how your arrogance fares against my power!" Abell snorted and proceeded to attack Fade with a sweep kick.

The speed of his kick was good. The momentum of it looked completely adequate as well.

Upon seeing this, Sonia and Harper's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Young Master Abell really is powerful, isn't he? That kick looks extraordinarily vicious!" Sonia gushed with a smile.

Harper smiled along as well as he added, "Yeah, I agree! The whirring of the wind that accompanied that kick proves as much! He's so much more talented than all those other instructors I met in Taekwondo gyms."

When Abell heard this, he turned to look at Harper sharply and snorted, "Oh please, don't compare me with superficial people from the Taekwondo gyms! I'll have you know that I'm a real martial artist! They're nothing compared to me!"

"Yes, you're absolutely right! Hurry up, Abell, teach this pretentious punk a lesson!" Harper conceded as he glared at Fade.

At that, Abell proceeded to redirect his gaze back towards Fade and aimed the sweep kick he had in position at his waist.

Upon seeing this, Fade couldn't help but shake his head slightly. As Abell was a member of the Stealth Team, the strength he possessed as a Yellow Level master in the pinnacle stages was pretty top-notch. However, his arrogant and cocky attitude overshadowed his skills. Furthermore, Fade had noticed that while Abell did possess some strength, his basics were not solid at all. When he had initiated his attack, he had ended up taking his eyes off his opponent's movements. It was an amateur mistake in combat.

Fade could not fathom how a person of Abell's abilities had been selected to participate in the South Bay City Stealth Team. It seemed to him that the guy might have relied on his father's status as the team's chief.

At the thought of that, Fade couldn't help but sigh and shake his head a little. He mentally noted to himself, "When I get to the training base next time, it seems that I'll have to bring this issue up. There should be a vetting process to check-up on the capabilities of all the Stealth Team members in South Bay City. If members are not up to standard, the team's reputation would be ruined."

Seeing Fade shaking his head, Abell took it as a sign of mockery.

He began to look outraged. With a fierce glare at Fade, he roared, "What are you shaking your head for?! Are you mocking me?!"

"You know, I had meant to hold back a little to save you some face, but now that you've crossed me, I'm going to show you just what a real martial artist is made of!"

With a loud battle cry, Abell aimed a powerful kick at Fade. The speed in which he exerted into his attack this time was much stronger and the momentum was far greater. "Take this!" Abell yelled, commencing the fight.

Harper and Sonia proceeded to watch on in excitement. Their hands were balled into fists as they resisted the urge to cheer for Abell.

Momo on the other hand looked incredibly nervous. All she knew was that Fade was known to be really powerful and had defeated a lot of other martial artists. However, she did not know much about things like the different levels of a martial artists' strength.

Furthermore, Abell had been boasting about how he was the champion of the younger generation in South Bay City's martial arts circle. As such, she really couldn't tell the extent of just how powerful he really was compared to Fade.

However, Momo's worries were unnecessary.

Just as Abell's foot was about to come into contact with Fade, Fade had reached out with his right arm, prepared to block the attack with it.

"You're using an arm to defend yourself against my foot? Are you trying to break your arm? Very well then; I'll help you do the honors," Abell taunted with a confident sneer.

"Swoosh!"

With that, he swung his calf viciously, preparing to break Fade's arm.

However, once his calf made contact with Fade's arm, his confident demeanor suddenly vanished. The arm he had made contact with did not waver in the slightest. It remained steady and firm under him; it felt as if he had just kicked against a concrete wall!

The rebound of the force knocked Abell back, making him whine in excruciating pain. Still filled with disbelief, he began to blurt out, "How is that possible?! You're..."

Just as he was in the middle of his exclamation, Fade had rotated his arm and grabbed Abell's ankle. By applying a bit of force, he managed to swing Abell upwards and sent him whirring in the air. Eventually, the man fell with a heavy thud onto the ground and groaned in pain.

Harper and Sonia who had been brimming with excitement before could not help but gape at the scene before them in bewilderment. They were rendered speechless by the turn of events. "This, how is this..."

"Young Master Abell lost?! That's impossible..."

Hurriedly, Abell got himself off the ground, casting a dark, ferocious look at Fade. Through gritted teeth, he started to speak, "That doesn't count! I messed up just now; it was a careless mistake! Come on, let's try this again! I will not stand to be ridiculed like this. I am the best martial artist amongst the youths of South Bay City! I will not lose to the likes of you!"
