Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1150
"We are from the headquarters of the Stealth in Capital City, and we are also part of another organization known as the Martial Arts League," Hollace explained.
"Martial Arts League?" Fade frowned in confusion.
Hollace explained immediately, "The Martial Arts League is a special organization formed by our official martial arts personnel and partnered with famous martial artists from the civil society. We conduct coordination with various martial artists, including its ranking and so on."
Fade roughly understood what kind of organization this Martial Arts League was. He nodded and asked, "Why did you come looking for me?"
Hollace took out a document, handed it to Fade, and said, "Mr. Chen, we are here for the release of the latest edition of the Martial Dragon List."
"Martial Dragon List?" Fade frowned. He was vaguely familiar with it but could not remember what it was.
Hollace continued to explain, "The Martial Dragon List is a ranking of young martial artists under the age of 36 created by the Martial Arts League. The ranking is based on your skills and potential. It is used as a reference for determining the level of different martial artists in the martial arts realm. It is also used to evaluate some martial arts activities."
"I see," Fade nodded and said indifferently.
Lucille couldn't help but curl her lips. "I wonder if you really are a martial artist. You didn't have the slightest idea of what the Martial Dragon List is."
Fade glanced at Lucille and ignored her.
Hollace apologized immediately, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. Lucille is young and ignorant. Please don't take it to heart."
Fade couldn't be bothered and said to Hollace, "What does the Martial Dragon List have to do with me?"
Hollace opened the file and showed him a ranking while pointing at the name in the first row. He then said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, look. You are ranked first by the Martial Arts League in the current issue of Dragon List."
"I see." Fade nodded nonchalantly as if the ranking did not matter to him.
Hollace was surprised at Fade's response.
Lucille's brows became tightly knitted as she became more displeased. She hissed, "Well, just continue to pretend like you don't care. Everyone from the martial arts realm would love to have their name on the Dragon List."
She crossed her arms and continued, "The top twenty martial artists are free to roam the entire country. They were admired and invited by countless clans and commercial companies."
"The No. 1 on the Dragon List is the best of the bests. Both his clan and wealth are also the cream of the crop. More importantly, he can become the disciple of the top masters on the Divine Dragon List." She took a sip of coffee and added, "I know you are exhilarating right now and already planning to find who on the Divine Dragon List as your master. Stop pretending. We all know how you actually feel." Lucille looked as though she could see through Fade.
Hollace also chimed in, "The Divine Dragon List is the ranking of martial artists outside the limits of the Dragon List. If the Dragon List is the ranking for the younger generation of martial artists, whereas the Divine Dragon List is the ranking of the top martial artists in the country."
Hollace closed the file and continued, "The general of our army, General Jaguar Xu, and the guardians of the four clans are all in the top ten of Divine Dragon List."
Fade nodded and understood the significance of this Divine Dragon List. "I see."
Lucille curled her lips into a smirk. Then, she took out a document and handed it to Fade, saying, "This is an invitation from my master. He would like to have you as his disciple. This is a great opportunity. Just sign it!"
Fade looked at the invitation and was slightly astonished. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I already have a master. I won't be looking for another one!"
When Lucille heard this, her face turned sulky at once. "Do you know who my master is? He is Galeno Zhu, ranked 16th on the Divine Dragon List. Do you know how many have begged him to teach them, but he rejected all of them. Now, my master is extending this opportunity to you, and you don't even know to appreciate it. You..."
Fade glimpsed at Lucille, and retorted, "No matter who your master is, as I have said, I already have a master. I'm not looking for another one."
"Besides, I don't think your master is qualified to train me." Fade's tone was indifferent but both of them could hear a tinge of confidence in his voice.
Lucille was positively irate; she slammed at the table and bellowed, "You are way too arrogant. My master is really blind for actually liking you and wanting to accept you as his disciple. I..."
Fade interjected calmly, "I never beg him to accept me as his disciple."
"You..." Lucille waved her fists. She wanted to plant a punch on his face. Fury was smoldering like a fire inside her at this moment.
Fade glanced at her and said insouciantly, "Are you sure you are going to make this into a fight? This time, I won't show any mercy."
Hearing this, Lucille's face darkened. Although enraged, she knew she was no match for Fade. She could only let Hollace take over the discussion.
Hollace immediately apologized to Fade, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. Lucille has a bad temper. I will let my master know about this when I get back." "Sure!" Fade nodded and asked, "Anything else?"
Lucille almost burst out in anger at Fade's tone. He sounded as though he was trying to turn them away. She barked, "We have traveled all the way to convey this news to you, and this is how you treat us?!" "I didn't ask you to come," Fade replied indifferently. Lucille's rage was growing inside her like a tumor at this moment.
Hollace, on the other hand, was rather patient. He hurriedly calmed Lucille down before explaining to Fade with a smile, "Mr. Chen, forgive me. The purpose of us coming here is mainly to convey this news to you, and at the same time, asking about your thoughts on discipleship on behalf of our master."
He paused for a while and continued, "Truth be told, it's because of you defeating Titan and killing Song Khan that you've earned a name for yourself in Jade City. Immediately, you became the number one martial artist on the Dragon List."
"It's a shame to say we are also on the Dragon List. I am at the twelfth place, and Lucille is at the eighteenth." He lowered his head while shaking it.
"We wanted to see what you are about but did not expect you to be this skilled. Lucille was a little impatient and wanted to challenge you. Please forgive us whatever happened earlier."
Fade immediately understood where they were coming from. Lucille was spoiled but she did have some skills. When she saw that he was ranked the first, she was dissatisfied and decided to come to challenge him.
"I understand!" Fade nodded and said, "Since we're both from the Stealth, I will forgive her."
"But if there ever is a second time, I won't show any mercy," Fade warned, his voice as flat as a
stove lid.
Hollace put his hand on his chest immediately and promised, "Mr. Chen, rest assured, there won't be a next time."
