Immediately, Joey put away the dagger and did a beautiful somersault in the air before she landed beside Fade. She stood up and said with a smile, "It's done." He rolled his eyes at her and remarked, "You were careless just now. If I really didn't step in, I'm afraid that I would have died just now."

She stuck out her tongue teasingly as she hugged his arm and said, "Fade, it's been so long since I've fought. Therefore, it's become somewhat unfamiliar to me."

"Besides, I know that you are strong, so I deliberately left a chance for you to show off. Otherwise, I would've been the one who stole the spotlight, then you can't show off in front of Jasmine!"

After Joey finished speaking, she quickly winked at Jasmine. "Jasmine, don't you think so?"

"Ah, well, I..." Jasmine had yet to recover from the shock, so she was still speechless.

At this moment, Moore, who had dealt with the two gunmen outside, entered the villa as well. Seeing that the three of them were safe and sound, he let out a sigh of relief. He then asked, "Did you find anything?"

Fade glanced at the two dead assassins on the ground, shook his head and responded, "They don't have any identification information on them, so I can't tell yet, but for now, we suspect that they were sent by Skull Mob."

Moore then continued, "The identification of the two people outside can't be determined either."

"Fade, what are we going to do next? There are still reporters waiting outside, and the police will arrive soon," he continued worriedly.

"Just say that the press conference is over, and make the rest of the people outside leave. I won't meet them anymore," Fade answered.

"As for the police and the relevant investigators, just cooperate with them. However, try your best to hide Joey's strength."

Moore nodded and replied "I know what to do."

Immediately after, he left and officially announced the end of the conference.

The reporters outside heard him and burst into an uproar. They all raised a lot of questions.

"Mr. Chen, what was that assassination attempt? Was it aimed at Master Chen?" A reporter asked.

"Do you have any clues regarding the assassin's identity?"

"What about the two killers in the house? Is Master Chen injured?"

"Will this affect Master Chen's decision to participate in the preliminaries?"

Moore ignored all of their questions. After the announcement, he went straight back to the villa and asked everyone to leave.

However, the news that Fade had been assassinated at the press conference was quickly released. In an instant, it caused a heated discussion in Capital City, and even in the whole martial arts world. Many people voiced their doubts and opinions.

They wanted to know who the killer was, and why they had tried to assassinate Fade so many times.

Some people wanted to know his physical condition as well, to see whether he was injured or not.

In the villa, Fade cooperated with the police and other relevant departments to complete the investigation of the assassination case.

Finally, when they left, the leader of the team, Baldrick, came forward and asked, "Fade, which part of your body is injured? How long do you need to recover?"

"Mr. Mu, I didn't..." Fade answered instinctively.

However, before he could finish speaking, Baldrick interrupted him and continued, "I heard that your lung injury is quite serious, and it would take at least half a month for you to recover!" After that, Baldrick gave him a look.

Fade seemed to have realized something. He nodded and played along, "That's right. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mu,"

At the same time, Baldrick stated, "If that's the case, then take good care of yourself in the next few days!"

As he said that, he turned around and was ready to leave. However, in the end, he turned his head and added, "By the way, Fade, you are the top talent in the Chinese martial arts world, and the winner of our special contribution in the Chinese medical field. Many leaders and seniors care very much about your injury. They will come to see you in due time."

Fade seemed to have understood something after listening to Baldrick. He nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mu. I will take care of myself."

After sending him off, many leaders and relevant personnel came to visit Fade just as Baldrick had stated. Some of the leaders came personally while some of the leaders sent their subordinates.

In just a day's time, Fade's villa had already received a dozen visits from different people.

Among them, there were Fade's acquaintances, elders like Galeno and Tarmon, doctors of the medical department from the hospitals in Capital City, and even Cannon, Camach, and Langham came to visit him. They asked about his physical condition with great concern.

Fade accepted these visitors enthusiastically. Upon facing their inquiries, he didn't hide anything from them and answered all of them seriously.

In the evening, after sending away the last group of visitors, Fade said with a smile, "Mr. Han, don't worry. It's just that there's a slight problem with my liver. I will be fine after treating it for ten days." "Alright, it's finally time to rest." Fade stood up from the wheelchair and said with a smile to Jasmine, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him. "Jasmine, you must be tired as well. Go back and rest." "Master, I'm not tired," she replied as she shook her head hurriedly. There was a puzzled look on her face, and her mouth moved as though she wanted to say something. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Jasmine, whatever you want to say, just say it!"

Only then did she finally ask, "Master, these people who came to visit you today. When they asked about your physical condition, why did you tell them all different things?"

"For example, when Mr. Mu asked yesterday, you said that your lung was injured, and it would take half a month to recuperate, but when Mr. Han asked, you said that your liver was injured, and it would take ten days to recuperate. I..." She was confused.

Upon hearing this, he smiled. "I've said this on purpose."

"You did it on purpose? W-Why is that?" She was perplexed.

He didn't explain any further as he replied, "It is because it will be useful for me. You'll understand when the time comes. Well, it's getting late. Go and rest now."

Three days later, the day of the Martial Arts Qualifying Competition that had been long awaited by everyone in Capital City, and even the whole martial arts world of the country, had finally arrived.

The whole country had selected participants who were below the age of 36 years old to compete in the preliminaries. The top two would be selected and would be qualified to participate in the International Youth Martial Arts Convention on behalf of the country.

Because the competition was on a large scale, the impact of the event was much higher than expected.

The organizers of the Martial Arts League and the Clan Committee took out quite a few awards and announced that the top 20 people of the selection would be rewarded.

The spirits of all the participants were immediately sparked. The atmosphere was lively, welcoming the beginning of the game.
