On the other hand, Lillian snorted coldly as jealousy was written all over her face, "What a joke. He doesn't even have the capability, yet he still dares to accept students. I'd like to see what she learned from a teacher like him."
Fade disregarded their remarks. Instead, he turned to Tom and said, "Time's almost up, and we'll need to go in soon. Our seats are right there. Do you want to join us, Tom?"
He shook his head. "My seat is right here, Brother Fade."
"Alright then. I'll see you after the competition." Fade waved goodbye to Tom and led Jasmine towards their seats.
He turned around and walked towards his seat too.
Lillian stood next to him, still jealous and displeased. She stared at Fade and Jasmine as they left and spat, "That's the VIP area for the participants from the Martial Arts League. Look at him deliberately walking over there. Tell him to stop pretending. What a joke!" "It'll be interesting if they get thrown out later," Halge stared at them enthusiastically as if he was waiting to watch something good.
Tom furrowed his brows, attempting to defend Fade.
However, at this moment, they spotted a man and a woman waving at Fade as they walked quickly towards him and greeted him warmly.
"You're finally here, Mr. Chen. This way, please."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. This must be Miss Zhuo. Please have a seat!"
Such greetings were normal under normal circumstances. However, everyone was confused as the two people were greeting Fade warmly.
Both of them were Galeno's disciples, Hollace and Lucille. Both of them possessed remarkable strength and were ranked 12th and 18th respectively on the Dragon List. They were also two of the more popular candidates betted on as the Martial Arts Convention's winner.
To receive such warm treatment from two popular star contestants was a great honor. Inevitably, Fade attracted everyone's attention, and of course, their doubtful glances.
Something clicked in Tom's mind as he watched them from afar. He glanced towards him and exclaimed, "Could Brother Fade be the Fade who ranked first on the Dragon List?"
Halge and the others snickered at his claim.
"Tom, are you out of your mind? That guy could never come first on the Dragon List. You're kidding, right?"
"Lucille and Hollace greeting him doesn't mean anything. Perhaps he used some alternative measures. I've seen too many people like him pretending to be someone they are not, just to impress others. Haha!"
"But..." Tom felt that his hunch was right.
As he watched Fade exchanging pleasantries with Hollace and Lucille, a group of men in uniforms walked past him.
Halge and his group stared at the group of men in uniforms. Their eyes filled with reverence and admiration, "It's the Stealth Team's Five Elements Squad!"
Noticing the group, the passersby pointed towards them and started talking about them.
"The Five Element Squad is here. They're incredible. No wonder they're the elites of the Stealth Team!"
"Of course. The five captains of the Five Elements Squad are all in the top twenty on the Dragon List. They're also among the more popular candidates for this competition."
"But the Fire Squad captain, Lester, has been replaced. I heard it has something to do with their new instructor."
"Yes, I heard about it too. Their instructor was supposed to be the Gold Squad's captain, Romeo, but they replaced him with another person in the end. No one knows who the new guy is."
"An instructor to the Five Elements Squad must be someone powerful."
Amidst the crowd's discussion, the Five Elements Squad marched towards the VIP area and walked towards Fade. They stood at attention and saluted in unison, "Good morning, Instructor!" they shouted.
