Fade stared at Hollace and asked, "Hollace, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Hollace nodded and replied, "Mr. Chen, I have some matters to attend to. It's just that, I am worried about the situation now-"
Hollace paused to look at Fade then Leighton, his expression puzzled.
Fade jerked his chin at Thomson. "It's not a big deal. I was only teaching that ungrateful fellow a lesson."
Leighton fumed, energy surging in him as he heard Fade's answer. He was about to pounce on him with all his might.
Just then, Hollace stepped forward and hurled himself in front of Fade to stop him. "Leighton, what are you doing?" Hollace snarled.
"Hollace, I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing?" Clenching his teeth, Leighton hissed, "This guy broke my brother's legs, and now I want to get even with him. Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"I—" Hollace was stunned at his discovery of their conflict.
He cleared his voice and said, "Leighton, I believe that Mr. Chen did it for a good reason."
"What are you talking about? He broke my brother's legs, and now you're telling me he did it for a good reason?" Leighton spat.
"That's not what I meant. I think we're all familiar with Thomson's personality. Besides, I know that Mr. Chen is not an unreasonable person," Holland responded.
"You will definitely regret, to say the least, if you get into a fight with Mr. Chen, as he ranks number one on the Dragon List."
"What?" Leighton's jaw dropped. His gaze shifted to Fade, his face full of disbelief.
As a Martial Arts League disciple ranked the eleventh on the Dragon List, he had inside information about the Dragon List members. A few months ago, Fade's name suddenly appeared on the top of the list. This incident had caused quite a stir in the Martial Arts League at that time, and people started to secretly question the legitimacy of the official ranking.
Leighton was one of the people who refused to accept the ranking. Needless to say, he felt resentment towards Fade.
Although the people expressed their dissatisfaction towards the ranking, the Martial
Arts League's officials stood firm in their judgment and did not even have the slightest intention of amending it. Besides, Fade also kept a low profile such that he never attended public events, so no one knew who he was.
But now, here he was, standing right in front of him, and he had also just broken Thomson's legs. He laughed in incredulity.
"This man right here is Fade? The man who ranks first on the Dragon List? The man who is more powerful than Faxon?" Leighton raised his brows.
Hollace looked offended. "Why would I lie about something like this?"
"Now, do you still want to start a fight with Mr. Chen?" he asked, shooting a glance at Leighton.
Leighton hesitated for a moment, his facial expression thoughtful.
Fade had an intimidating reputation due to his ranking on the Dragon List. Under normal circumstances, Leighton, who ranked eleventh, obviously wouldn't dare to fight with the man who ranked on the top of the list. He knew that he was definitely no match for him.
