Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1963

That was a question that arose in many people's minds.

At this moment, on the podium, Langham, the master of the Lu family, snorted coldly and remarked with a cold expression on his face, "In my opinion, someone is injured, and has called their helper to take over their spot in the competition so that it would not be too humiliating!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of Thousand Star Academy, Camach, the chief of Thousand Buddha Temple, Master Wisdomy, Bannon, and the others almost all nodded at the same time.

They knew that the competition rule was initially to divide the participants into sixteen groups for them to battle against each other. The remaining two people in each group would be qualified. Finally, the 32 people in total from the sixteen groups would start by drawing lots, undergoing a battle of two at a time, and thereby slowly eliminating participants, all the way until they reach the final round.

In their eyes, Fade had asked his sister, Joey, to join in the competition because he wanted to be in a group with her so that she could protect him from being seriously injured. Either that, or he was using his sister to ensure that he would succeed in going to the next round of preliminaries. Otherwise, it would embarrass him.

"Did that brat really think that he would be able to save himself from embarrassment just because he asked a little girl for help? How ridiculous."

"Huh, in this case, isn't it better for him to just give up?"

"Sadly, he is protecting his fame by risking the life of his own sister."

Everyone was mocking Fade.

When the time came, the organizer announced the start of the competition. First of all, the related personnel gave a simple speech explaining the objective, rules, and rewards of the competition. Then, they drew lots and divided the participants into sixteen teams.

Each contestant had a serial number. They would use the computer to randomly divide themselves into groups on the big screen, and soon, the groups would be done.

Unsurprisingly, Fade and Joey were divided into one group. The other popular contestants were almost all assigned to different groups.

Upon seeing this situation, everyone had a rough estimate in their hearts. It seemed that the so-called lots drawing grouping scheme had been arranged secretly beforehand.

After all, it would be tragic if the top ten hot contestants were all put into a group by accident, and only two would qualify.

Therefore, although some people were unsatisfied with the grouping, it was also within everyone else's expectation so no one said anything about it.

After the groups were assigned, the competition quickly began.

The members of each group went straight to the ring and began fighting.

Different people had different strategies.

For example, in Earlias' group, the other contestants had spoken up the moment they stepped onto the stage. They would not attack Earlias. They would give him a spot and hope that he would not attack them Earlias was also very happy. He leaned against a corner and watched while the remaining few people fought. Finally, there was only one person left who could advance together with him.

There were also some groups who chose to team up together to attack the popular contestants, hoping to win an unorthodox competition.

That was the case in the group with 18-year-old Monk Jaewoo. However, the final result shocked all the candidates and the audience present.

All the people who had worked together were knocked down by him alone, and in the end, none of them could even stand up. In this group, only Monk Jaewoo alone was qualified. There was also one more place, and finally, one person struggled to stand up with his last breath as he leaned against the railings, and fortunately, he obtained the chance to advance to the next level.

However, under this kind situation, even if he advanced to the next round, he would definitely be eliminated next.

The situation in other teams was different, but the final results were almost all within the expectations of the audience. Each group's favored contestants had all successfully advanced to the next round. Finally, the focus of everyone's attention turned to the group where Fade was in.

Although Fade was most definitely a popular contestant, everyone knew that he had been injured by the assassination attempt. Therefore, the other contestants in this team had been coveting his spot for a long time, and all of them looked at him with scarlet eyes.

Fade, however, glanced indifferently at the group of people and remained silent.

His current situation had truly shocked quite a number of people, causing everyone to fall into thoughts. No one was willing to take the lead, causing the atmosphere in the ring to become tense.

Finally, someone couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Master Chen, please forgive me."

Then, a group of people flocked towards him and launched a fierce attack against him.

Fade stood in the corner of the arena without moving. Joey, who stood by his side, let out a roar and countered their attacks.

"Girl, get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame us for being too ruthless."

"Gorgeous, stop right now."

"Being too ruthless?" She snorted and pounced on the crowd fiercely.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound. The group of martial artists had been beaten down by her, and were thrown out of the ring with bloody noses and swollen faces.

No one had expected this. The crowd fell into shock as they looked at Joey in disbelief.

"Joey is really something else!"

"After all, she's Moore's daughter. It's not a surprise that she has such powerful strength in martial arts."

"However, is Fade really relying on a woman? How shameless!"

"Who cares? He has a beautiful sister who can fight for him. This is also something to brag about!"

The amount of attackers surrounding Joey slowly decreased.

All of a sudden, a man jumped away from her, and then looked at Fade to attack him fiercely. In his sleeve, there was a dagger that was shining with cold light. He stabbed at Fade's heart fiercely. This unexpected scene caused everyone to be shocked.

Galeno was furious. He shouted angrily, "Stop! This is a violation of the rules. Stop right now!"

"Judges, stop him!" Baldrick also shouted at the top of his voice.

In the midst of the shouts, the referee on the side of the ring, not only did not hear it, but also deliberately delayed his reaction. Only after a pause did he rush into the ring.

At this moment, the man in the arena rushed to Fade with a fierce glare and a murderous look on his face. "Fade, I'm going to kill you."

Fade frowned as he asked calmly, "Who sent you here? Is it Skull Mob? Or is it Thousand Star Academy, Thousand Buddha Temple, the Lu family, or the Shao family?"

"You are about to die. You don't have to know this," the man replied through gritted teeth.

As he said that, the man's dagger had already stabbed into Fade's chest.

A series of shocked cries emerged from the audience.

However, at the critical moment, the dagger in the man's hand cut through Fade's coat, but strangely, he couldn't go any deeper.

"What..." The man was stunned, and then he looked inside Fade's coat. He was wearing a suit of armor shining with gold and iron underneath, and the attacker's face turned pale.

At this moment, Joey turned away from the rest of the attackers and rushed over. She slapped the man to the ground with one palm and stepped on his dantian abdomen. She then questioned him, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
