Under the heated discussion and curious gaze of the crowd, Lionel approached Fade with a serious face and said, "Fade, let's settle our matter first!"

Fade eyed Lionel up and down. His expression didn't change much as though not taken aback by the sudden appearance of Lionel.

Looking at Lionel in front of him, Fade said calmly, "You're here for your son, Jayden Zhu, aren't you?"

When it came to his son, Lionel's face couldn't help but turn sullen. Traces of frustration began to be revealed on his face as his tone grew gloomier. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It's good that you know."

Then, Lionel glanced at the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, a few days ago, my son, Jayden, and Harrison invited Mr. Chen to attend a banquet."

"As a result, Fade injured my son seriously at the banquet. Both Jayden's arms are disabled now. I demand an explanation from Mr. Chen for such a ferocious deed today."

Hearing this, after a momentary daze, many people who were confused just now understood what happened at once.

"I was wondering why Captain Zhu is here. It turns out that his son has been disabled!"

"If that's true, then it's justifiable for Captain Zhu to come and demand an explanation."

"He will not only be demanding an explanation. Judging from the current situation, Lionel is going to cripple Fade too!"

"It's normal for Lionel to want to do so. After all, he broke Jayden's arms. It's justifiable for him to pay the same for what he has done!"

"I didn't expect Fade to be so ruthless when he fights as he looked gentle."

Many people were thinking that the fault was on Fade. However, some people voiced out their doubts.

"If they were just attending a banquet, why did Fade have a conflict with Jayden? And why did he cripple Jayden's arms? I am afraid that there must be a hidden reason behind this!" "What the hell? A hidden reason? Jayden's arms are disabled, it's an indisputable fact. No matter what the reason is, Fade has gone too far."

"Harrison was around at that time, wasn't he? He was a Black Level master, why didn't he stop him?"

After a long argument from the onlookers, Lionel looked back at Fade again and roared coldly, "Do you want to break your four limbs by yourself, or do you want me to do it for you?" It seemed that Lionel wanted Fade to pay double as a revenge.

Everyone couldn't help but cast worried looks at Fade.

When Fade heard Lionel's words, he sneered and said, "I did cripple Jayden's arms, but why didn't you ask me why I attacked him?"

"You should know that even in the law, selfdefense is a legitimate reason. Why would I attack Jayden for no reason?" Fade said.

Lionel's eyes turned cold, and then he said in an icy tone, "The truth remains that you crippled my son's arms. I don't care for the reason you attacked him."

"You don't care?" Fade sneered, "Or you are afraid of me to speak it out loud? If I do, I'm afraid that everyone will say that your son deserved it."

"Nonsense, you still dare make excuses?!" Lionel was immediately provoked. He let out a thunderous roar and charged towards Fade, "B*stard, since you are not willing to do it yourself, then I'll do it for you!" With lightning speed, Lionel dashed towards Fade menacingly. He emitted a strong imposing manner.

Seeing this, everyone was thunder- stuck and somewhat excited. After all, Lionel was a master at the late-stage of the Black Level and he was absolutely a top master among all the people present. The attack of a master at this level would definitely attract significant interest.

Lionel was about to hit Fade, but at this moment, Franklin, who was standing beside Fade, darted out suddenly and blocked Lionel's attack with his palm.

As a result, the crowds who were looking on with bated breath were stunned again. Their faces changed at the sudden turn of the situation.

Lionel's face was grim and etched with wrath. He glared at Franklin and shouted, "Franklin Chang, what are you doing?"

Franklin replied to him lightly, "Captain Zhu, as a member of Stealth, you are considered as a civil servant of the country. Even if Mr. Chen really injured your son, we should give him a chance to tell us the full story."

"The fact is on the table, I don't need to know how we got there!" Lionel gritted his teeth and said.

Franklin said coldly, "Captain Zhu, perhaps you don't need to know that, but everyone else wants to know what happened."

Shelton and the others let out shouts of agreement in unison immediately.

Seeing this, Lionel's countenance grew gloomier. He glared at Franklin, gnashed his teeth, and said, "Franklin, do you really want to go against me?"

"Go against you? Captain Zhu, you shouldn't say so. I just want Mr. Chen to tell us the whole story and let everyone understand the situation. Am I going against you? Or else, Captain Zhu, is there any contemptible fact that you can't let others know?" Franklin said.

"You..." Lionel didn't expect that Franklin would defend Fade at this time. For a moment, he was at a loss of what to do next.

At this time, Fade looked at the crowd and told the whole story of his conflict with Jayden, "On that day, Melanie and I went..."

After telling the whole story briefly, all the people couldn't help but burst into commotion. The scene was filled with flurried voices.

"I knew there must be a reason. Otherwise, who would attack someone else for no reason?"

"Speaking of this matter, it's Jayden's fault. He forced the woman to stay and even wanted to humiliate her. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate that as well!"

"What's more, did you notice that Jayden asked for help from the member of Stealth when he fought Fade? Strictly speaking, it was a violation of the law!"

The people were all discussing the matter and many of them began to criticize Lionel at this moment. Lionel didn't expect that to happen. His face was grim and his lips trembled in anger.

"It's not true, you're lying. You're the one who made this nonsense up," Lionel denied.

Hearing this, Fade sneered and said, "I knew you wouldn't admit it. But it doesn't matter, there are witnesses here."

With that, Fade turned to look at Melanie and Zoila.

Zoila hesitated and her eyes flickered. She did not dare to look into Fade's eyes.

However, Melanie did not hesitate and said directly, "I am the person involved. I guarantee that what Fade said is all true."
