Fade stared at Hollace and asked, "Hollace, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Hollace nodded and replied, "Mr. Chen, I have some matters to attend to. It's just that, I am worried about the situation now-"

Hollace paused to look at Fade then Leighton, his expression puzzled.

Fade jerked his chin at Thomson. "It's not a big deal. I was only teaching that ungrateful fellow a lesson."

Leighton fumed, energy surging in him as he heard Fade's answer. He was about to pounce on him with all his might.

Just then, Hollace stepped forward and hurled himself in front of Fade to stop him. "Leighton, what are you doing?" Hollace snarled.

"Hollace, I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing?" Clenching his teeth, Leighton hissed, "This guy broke my brother's legs, and now I want to get even with him. Are you sure you want to stop me?"

"I" Hollace was stunned at his discovery of their conflict.

He cleared his voice and said, "Leighton, I believe that Mr. Chen did it for a good reason."

"What are you talking about? He broke my brother's legs, and now you're telling me he did it for a good reason?" Leighton spat.

"That's not what I meant. I think we're all familiar with Thomson's personality. Besides, I know that Mr. Chen is not an unreasonable person," Holland responded.

"You will definitely regret, to say the least, if you get into a fight with Mr. Chen, as he ranks number one on the Dragon List."

"What?" Leighton's jaw dropped. His gaze shifted to Fade, his face full of disbelief.

As a Martial Arts League disciple ranked the eleventh on the Dragon List, he had inside information about the Dragon List members. A few months ago, Fade's name suddenly appeared on the top of the list. This incident had caused quite a stir in the Martial Arts League at that time, and people started to secretly question the legitimacy of the official ranking.

Leighton was one of the people who refused to accept the ranking. Needless to say, he felt resentment towards Fade.

Although the people expressed their dissatisfaction towards the ranking, the Martial

Arts League's officials stood firm in their judgment and did not even have the slightest intention of amending it. Besides, Fade also kept a low profile such that he never attended public events, so no one knew who he was.

But now, here he was, standing right in front of him, and he had also just broken Thomson's legs. He laughed in incredulity.

"This man right here is Fade? The man who ranks first on the Dragon List? The man who is more powerful than Faxon?" Leighton raised his brows.

Hollace looked offended. "Why would I lie about something like this?"

"Now, do you still want to start a fight with Mr. Chen?" he asked, shooting a glance at Leighton.

Leighton hesitated for a moment, his facial expression thoughtful.

Fade had an intimidating reputation due to his ranking on the Dragon List. Under normal circumstances, Leighton, who ranked eleventh, obviously wouldn't dare to fight with the man who ranked on the top of the list. He knew that he was definitely no match for him.

However, people questioned Fade's worthiness to his ranking, and because of that, Leighton had doubts about Fade's strength.

"Go ahead and fight me if you want to. I don't have time to waste!" Fade snapped at Leighton when he remained silent.

Anger flashed across Leighton's face as he heard Fade's comment. He had never been looked down upon like this before. Unable to suppress his anger anymore, he yelled, "I'd like to see just how powerful the so-called number one on the Dragon List is!"

Leighton's energy erupted as he spoke. His expression was cold as he was about to launch an attack.

Upon seeing Leighton's reaction, Hollace, too, gathered his energy, preparing to ward off Leighton's attack.

Fade patted Hollace's shoulder when he sensed the tension in Hollace and whispered, "Since you are both members of the Martial Arts League, you are considered colleagues. It's not appropriate for you to start a fight with him. I'll do it myself!"

"Mr. Chen, but " Hollace wanted to argue but quickly stopped himself. He gave a curt nod and left.

Fade stared at Leighton as he stood erect with a calm expression. He waved dismissively at Leighton and said, "I don't have much time. Go ahead." "You... I'll kill you!" Leighton's energy surged and rushed towards Fade.

At that crucial moment, Leighton's phone rang, interrupting him. He lowered his hands in embarrassment and pulled out his cell phone. A look of horror filled his face when he saw the name displayed on the phone. He immediately picked up the call. "Young Master Chiang, it's me. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Oh, I see! I... Sure, I'll do it right away." He hesitated for a moment before he agreed and hung up the phone.

Leighton helped Thomson up as he gave Fade a fierce glare. He walked towards the exit with Thomson's arms around him. "Consider yourself lucky that I have something urgent to do. I'll spare you this time, but next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Leighton left hurriedly after that.

Fade didn't care about him at all. He shifted his gaze back to Hollace and asked, "Hollace, what brings you here?"

Hollace did not answer him. His gaze flickered between Jasmine and Fade, eyes questioning.

Fade read his mind. He waved his hand and said, "Jasmine is my friend. There's no need to hide anything from her."

Hollace nodded. "Actually, what I'm about to say isn't really a secret. Mr. Chen, do you know about the upcoming Martial Arts Convention?"

"I've heard about it!" Fade said, bobbing his head.

Hollace continued, "Well, I came to see you on behalf of my master and the Martial Arts League to invite you to the Martial Arts Convention."

"The Martial Arts Convention!" Fade echoed, then immediately shook his head and said, "There's no need to invite me. I'm not interested in this kind of competition."

In fact, with Fade's current strength, he would probably find himself unchallenged in this kind of ring fight, so of course, Fade was not interested in it and directly refused the invitation.

Hollace hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Mr. Chen, the current Martial Arts Convention is considered the golden age of the martial arts world in the Chinese population. People from all over the country, as well as overseas, will come to participate. All the masters will be gathering there, which is a good opportunity for everyone to learn from each other."

"Moreover, the competition results of the Martial Arts Convention is also tied to the ranking of the Dragon List. After the Martial Arts Convention, the Dragon List will be updated again, if you do not attend the Martial Arts Convention, your ranking on the Dragon List will likely drop."

Fade smirked and replied, "So be it. I don't really care about the ranking. Besides, being ranked lower might mean less trouble." Instead, he thought about what had happened between him and Leighton just now, and his eyebrows raised in amusement.
