Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 617

Easter cared about his image very much.

Before the Martial Arts Convention started, he was an early stage Black Level martial artist. In addition to that, as the deputy chairperson of the Long City Martial Arts Association, he would definitely be invited as a guest of the Martial Arts Convention. He should be watching the competition on the lake. He might even have boarded a ship that was in the middle circle.

However, what happened was not what he expected. The Sun family did not intend to invite him as a martial arts guest, neither was there space in the middle or outermost circle for him. Only the president of the Martial Arts Association was invited to board the ship on the outermost circle.

Easter's confidence took a hard knock when he found this out. He thought his image was negatively affected.

As his disciples, Lineman and the others knew that Easter hated this, so they had been careful not to mention it. But now, Tom and Fade had brought this up and got him instantly furious.

Easter glared at Fade and Tom, balling his fists as he said coldly, "What did you say?"

Just as Tom was about to reply him, the sound of drums and gongs beating came from the lake island.

The next moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the lake island.

Easter had to suppress his fury, glaring at Fade and Tom as he warned coldly, "Wait for it. After the Martial Arts Convention, I will show you what regret feels like."

Fade did not take it seriously. He just snorted as he turned his gaze at the lake.

The sound of drums was coming from the Sun family's ship. After forty-nine drumbeats, someone with a crutch dashed to the top of the Sun family's ship and stood there.

It was the Elder of the Sun family, the original top martial artist of Long City, Francesca Sun.

In an instant, the crowd cheered and applauded enthusiastically.

Francesca looked around and nodded at the crowd. Then, she spoke with a voice that was even louder than the cheers and applause of the crowd.

She declared, "The Martial Arts Convention of the Five Provinces is a grand event in the martial arts circle. It is also a big day where martial artists from the five provinces can interact with each other. This time around, the Sun family has been tasked with the honor of organizing the Martial Arts Convention. Therefore, on behalf of the Sun family, I, Francesca Sun, would like to thank you for attending the convention." "Now, I hereby announce that the Martial Arts Convention begins!" she uttered.

As soon as she finished her sentence, there came the rumbling of drums. After that, starting from the innermost circle of the lake island, came shouts of "begins" all over Green Peace Lake.

In an instant, it was as if Green Peace Lake was boiling. The martial artists were all excited as they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

The competition began with matches among the younger generation of the great families and clans.

As the host, the Sun family was the first to send their representative to the stage.

As soon as their representative appeared on stage, she attracted everyone's attention and they couldn't help but talk about her.

It was Shinnie Sun.

Shinnie was such a delicate young girl that everyone was curious about her when she appeared on the stage. Especially for those unfamiliar with the Sun family, they began to ask each other about Shinnie. As for Fade, when he caught sight of Shinnie, he immediately understood Francesca's intention.

The beginning of the competition was mostly matches between the juniors of the great families and clans. The representatives who appeared at the beginning were generally not very strong.

Shinnie was considered weaker than the others. Hence, the sooner she went onstage, the more likely she would win. Moreover, even if Shinnie was defeated, the audience would justify a beautiful and young girl like her losing, thus reducing the impact of her defeat on the Sun family.

As expected, when Shinnie went onstage, the members of the great families and clans were interested in her.

In the end, a young man from the Huang family went onto the stage. After the two of them briefly introduced themselves, the match officially began.

Maybe Shinnie's feeble appearance had triggered the young man's pity for her, because she caught him off guard and attacked him aggressively.

Then, the first match ended with Shinnie's victory.

The crowd cheered for her. Then, the Huang family threw a note at the Sun Family.

Standing on the big ship of the Sun family, Edward Sun reached out his right hand to grab the note. He took a look at it, then cupped his hands at the Huang family. He said, "Thank you, Brother Huang. The Sun family will take over this shoplot."

The matches between the great families and clans were not just competitions. There was a bet on every match and this was a way to resolve the conflicts between the great families and clans.

Just now, Shinnie had won a shoplot for the Sun family from the Huang family, even though the shoplot meant nothing to the Sun family.

Such an auspicious beginning delighted the Sun family. Francesca smiled.

The competition continued.

Given the defeat of the Huang family, the other great families and clans began to regard Shinnie as a serious opponent. Following the second match, Shinnie surrendered after more than twenty turns. Naturally, the Sun family had lost the bet.

Shinnie returned to the ship and apologised to Francesca. She uttered, "Grandma, I'm sorry! I lost."

Francesca replied her with a gentle smile, "It's okay. You haven't been practicing martial arts for long. Your result is already considered very good. Have a rest."

"Yes," Shinnie nodded and sat down beside her father, Edward.

Although Shinnie was defeated, everyone was deeply impressed by the beautiful newcomer.

This was enough for Francesca. After all, it was worth it to impress the crowd at the expense of a few million yuan.

After Shinnie was defeated, the competition continued.

All of the great families and clans, who originally had conflicts with each other, sent their own representatives to duel with each other on the stage. In the end, the conflict was settled by the victory or defeat of the match.

The matches between the great families and clans were rather lively. From time to time, there was a burst of cheers and applause from the crowd.

However, if one paid close attention to the results of these matches, one would notice the power distribution of the great families and clans.
