Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1411

Fade wouldn't call him that. It was inappropriate to address an elder by his name. Instead, he thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your help before, Master Zhu."

Galeno said, "Well, kid, since you refuse to call me that, then I'll not force you to. By the way, how's your preparation for the Martial Arts Convention? How confident are you in winning?" "Not too bad," Fade smirked as he replied.

"Not too bad," Galeno repeated what Fade said and laughed heartily, "You sound confident. I am looking forward to seeing you take the crown home!"

Someone snorted from behind and said, "Winning is not easy!"

Everyone shifted their attention towards the voice. A man in his sixties swaggered towards them with both hands behind his back. He had a smug look. He wore a green robe, and the edges of it fluttered in the air as he moved.

Several young men stood behind him. Among the leaders of the group were Faxon and Leighton. Fade's eyebrows raised in amusement as he recalled their recent fight.

Lucille muttered to Fade, "Mr. Chen, that man over there is Cannon Shao. He's a senior official of the Martial Arts League, but he often disagrees with my master. By the way, he is also Leighton and Faxon's master."

Fade narrowed his eyes as he nodded. He finally understood why Cannon and his people were so hostile towards them.

"Winning is not easy. However, I have faith in Fade," Galeno squinted his eyes at Cannon and said.

The corner of Cannon's mouth curled upward when he heard that, "Is that so?"

Then, he took a step forward and leaned towards Fade, "So you're Fade Chen? I have heard so much about you from Leighton and Faxon." "Really?" Fade replied faintly, keeping his face neutral.

However, he seemed arrogant to Cannon.

Leighton and Faxon quickly stepped forward and glared at him disdainfully. They couldn't be bothered to hide their resentment towards him.

"I haven't got to kick your a*s for bullying my brother the last time. Just you wait this time," Leighton shot daggers at him as he threatened him.

Fade didn't flinch, "Are you talking about the time I broke Thomson's legs? Well, bring it!" He replied calmly.

"You..." Leighton was on the verge of attacking him.

Lucille, who was watching silently at the side, suddenly stood up and defended Fade, "Leighton, what are you doing? Are you planning to start a fight with Fade in front of my master?"

He paused when he heard Lucille's warning. Galeno was a powerful man, and Lucille was comparable, so he did not dare to act recklessly in front of them. He glared at Fade and stepped back.

At this moment, Frodo stepped forward to warn Leighton, "We are here for the Martial Arts Convention. If you have any disagreements, settle them outside."

Leighton snorted angrily, but he didn't say a word.

Faxon moved beside Leighton. His gaze shifted from Hollace, Lucille and finally fell on Fade. "They can protect you for now, but they can't protect you forever," he seethed.

"I don't need anyone's protection," Fade retorted.

"Really? Just you wait," Faxon sneered. "I will never forget what happened at the auction."

"Then don't forget it. Well encounter situations like that in the future," Fade replied.

Faxon's expressions turned dark. He glared at Fade and snarled, "Aren't you a piece of work..."

His energy erupted from his core instantly. He was about to attack Fade.

Galeno snorted and warned, "The competition hasn't started yet. What are you doing?"

He let out a powerful wave of energy, and it crushed Faxon effortlessly. Clenching his teeth, Faxon's face turned white from exertion.

Cannon immediately stepped forward as he saw Faxon's terrified expression.

Attempting to rescue Faxon, he forced an equally strong wave of energy and went against Galeno.

"Old Zhu, there's nothing to be proud of for attacking someone less than you," Cannon exclaimed.

Galeno replied with a low voice, "He is a disciple of the Martial Arts League. It is my responsibility to teach him a lesson if he does something inappropriate."

"Whatever Faxon did wrong, I'll teach him myself because I'm his master. You don't have to worry about him," Cannon defended.

"I'm worried that you won't teach them well."

"Ugh..." Cannon's face darkened, and a look of anger painted across his face.

The tension between the two masters grew as they stared at each other intently. Just then, the sound of loud drums interrupted them, followed by a clear voice announcing, "Welcome to the Martial Arts Convention opening ceremony!"

Rustling sounds filled the scene as everyone scrambled to take their seats. Their gazes were focused on the fighting ring in the center of the lake.

The host didn't use a microphone. He projected with his natural, resonant voice. His voice was as deep as thunder, and it spread throughout the venue.

The host quickly introduced what the Martial Arts Convention was about. Then, he explained the rules of the competition before announcing the rewards. The guests were familiar with this information. They lost interest in his speech and began to murmur amongst each other.

Of course, they were discussing the conflict between the two Martial Arts League masters, Galeno and Cannon.

At the same time, Halge and the group were also talking about the incident enthusiastically. However, they were more interested in Fade.

"No wonder Fade was so arrogant. Apparently, he

has Galeno backing him."

"Perhaps it was Master Zhu who helped him to come in first on the Dragon List! Otherwise, how could a nobody suddenly appear first on it?"

"Even if he really has the ability and strength to be number one, who cares? Now that he has offended Leighton and Faxon, he will definitely suffer the consequences."

"That's for sure. Leighton is eleventh on the Dragon List, and Faxon is second. Both of them are very powerful."

"Naha! Let's see if he dares to be this arrogant when the competition begins!"

Tom was annoyed by what they were discussing, but he wasn't in the mood to defend his views or refute their claims. At this moment, all he could worry about was Fade's odds of winning. Faxon and Leighton were both reputable martial artists. Even if Fade ranked first on Dragon List, it would be challenging for him to fight against them.

Besides, it looked like Fade had formed a wedge with the two. Now that they despised him, they would not hesitate to fight dirty. When the time comes, he could end up badly injured, or even disabled. Besides, this was the Martial Arts Convention, not a performance. Someone getting hurt was inevitable. There were even contestants who were killed at the scene.

Everyone turned their attentions back to the main arena in the middle of the lake as the host finished announcing all the information and finally went off the stage. The competition began.

The Martial Arts Convention competitions were classified into three categories according to Kungfu Levels. They were the Yellow Level, the Black Level, and the Earth Level.

However, the highest level, Heaven Level, was not included in the competition. Since all Heaven Level martial artists already reached the highest state of cultivation, they were regarded as prominent figures in the martial arts world. To participate in such a competition would only waste their time and effort.

Hence, there were only three categories in the competition.
