Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1407

With Jasmine's current combat skills, she could easily defeat an ordinary intermediate or even expert Black Level martial artist.

The competition was only a day away. Fade did not let Jasmine continue her training. Instead, he wanted her to rest and prepare herself for the big day.

He also applied for a leave from school to prepare for the Martial Arts Convention.

As soon as he returned to his apartment, his phone rang. He sighed as he pulled out his phone. His eyes immediately widened as he saw the caller ID, and he picked up the phone. "Tom, it's been so long since the last time we talked!"

"Fade, how are you? It's been a while," Tom laughed on the other end of the line.

"Indeed. Is there anything I can do for you?" Fade asked.

Tom chuckled, "Well, I'm in Capital City. Are you free? I would like to invite you out for dinner."

"You're in Capital City?" Fade was surprised. "Why are you here? Forget it, since you invited me, we'll meet and talk in person! Where are you now?"

"Alright. I'm in St. Roland Hotel. Is it convenient for you to come over?"

Fade immediately answered, "St. Roland Hotel is not far from my place. Could you wait for me? I'll be there in half an hour."

He immediately left for St. Roland Hotel as soon as he hung up the phone.

Shortly after, he arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Tom, who was waiting in front of the hotel, greeted him with a warm embrace as soon as he got out of the car. "Fade, you're here. I haven't seen you in ages," Tom said with a huge grin on his face.

"Yes, it's been too long," Fade gave him a huge pat on the back.

Tom gestured towards the entrance and said, "Brother Fade, I booked a private room. Let's go in and eat while we chat."

"Sure!" Fade nodded and walked into the hotel alongside him. "Tom, why are you here in Capital City?" He asked as they were heading towards the restaurant.

Tom replied with a smile, "Well, I came to Capital City this time for the Martial Arts Convention."

"The Martial Arts Convention," Fade was surprised.

Tom explained, "I've been travelling for more than a year, but I wasn't slacking off. I've been practicing martial arts, and now, my skills improved a lot."

Tom released some of his positive energy as he spoke.

Fade sensed that Tom had become a beginner of the Black Level. For a martial artist at his age, his achievement was remarkable.

"You've made great progress. I'm looking forward to your performance at the Martial Arts Convention," Fade patted his shoulder.

"Thank you for your kind words. I'm counting on that," Tom gave him a wink and smiled, "By the way, I came here with some friends. They are in the private room. You'll get to know them later." "That's great!" Fade replied cheerfully.

As they entered the private room, he saw three people sitting at a round table.

There were two men and one woman. One of the men looked slightly older than the others, about 34 or 35 years old. He looked composed and serious.

The other man and the woman seemed relatively young, about 25 to 26 years old.

Tom tilted his chin towards the young man and introduced, "Fade, this is Halge Xu."

Then the young woman, "This is Lillian Gui."

Finally, he gestured at the older man, "This is Hertzel Pei."

"We were acquainted through martial arts training. This time, we've come to Capital City to participate in the Martial Arts Convention together," Tom said excitedly.

Then, he introduced Fade to his friends, "Everyone, this is Fade. He's the Brother Fade whom I was telling you about."

Fade nodded and flashed a smile at them as Tom spoke. He stretched out his hand to greet them, "Hello, I'm Fade Chen."

However, the three of them looked at him suspiciously and then snorted. They sat in their seats, unwilling to stand up to greet him. They didn't seem very fond of him.

Especially the young man, Halge. The corner of his mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "Tom, so this is the so-called powerful Brother Fade? I don't see anything powerful about him." Tom's face darkened as he heard his remark. He glared at him and snarled, "Halge, are you doubting me? You're no match for Fade's capabilities."

"Is that so?" Halge was unconvinced. His body jerked, and a wave of positive energy gushed out.

He looked towards Fade as if he was about to fight against him.

Lillian, who was standing at the side, chimed in, "Tom, you're not bluffing, right? Halge is a martial artist from the Three Fists Clan. He's not someone whom a self-taught martial artist can compete with!" Fade sensed the energy of the two people. Halge was roughly an intermediate of the Black Level, whereas Lilian's was even weaker. She was only a beginner of the Black Level. To Fade, fighting against martial artists at this level would be like squashing ants.

He was disinterested in them. He turned his head away after he took a glance at their faces.

However, what he did seemed cowardly in their eyes, and they got more arrogant. They sneered at him.

"What's the matter? Are you backing down? Are you too afraid to go up against me?"

"Tom, you are bluffing about your Brother Fade. I'm a little disappointed with how he is behaving now!"

"Halge, Lillian, you've crossed the line. Brother Fade is a really powerful man. I believe he's not interested in arguing with you, but please don't try him," Tom's face darkened as he glared at both of

them.

Halge was furious. He slammed the table and stood up as he yelled, "Tom, you are the one who crossed the line! You told us that you'll be introducing an expert to us, but you brought this guy here. It's such a waste of our time."

Lillian pursed her lips. "That's right. The Martial Arts Convention is tomorrow. I'd rather spend a bit more time training while we have the time. What a waste of time to even be here. It's absolutely..." "You..." Tom was so infuriated that he could barely control himself from slamming the table.

At this moment, Hertzel, the composed man who was silent, frowned and chided, "That's it, stop bickering."

Obviously, Hertzel was the most authoritative among them. Everyone shut their mouths and looked at him after he shouted.

Hertzel said in a deep voice, "Since we agreed to work together, then don't make a fuss over such a small matter. We are self-learners, and we can't compare with those powerful ones. Thus, we must unite and depend on each other. Maybe then, we will have a chance to win. Do you understand?"

Tom nodded, but Lillian pouted and retorted unhappily, "Of course we have to unite, but we've agreed on four people, and now Tom brought another person. What does this mean? Does he want us to carry the group and share our resources with him? You know what, it took us a lot of effort to qualify for this Martial Arts Convention."

Halge bobbed his head approvingly as she spoke. Now, even Hertzel frowned suspiciously at what she said.
