"What are you trying to say?" Fade glowered.
Faxon continued, "I know that you work as a lecturer in the Chinese Medicine School of Capital University. I also know about your junior, Joey Chen. And there's another girl named Yankee Meng working as a secretary in your company."
"Also, you are friends with the singer Susie Song and a girl named Yuri Zhang. You knew them through the Capital City Music Academy."
"I know everything about them! If you don't admit defeat now, I..." Faxon sneered.
Fade stared angrily at him as he spat, "Are you threatening me?"
"You can choose not to believe me, but then I won't be nice to those women around you," Faxon sniggered.
"Don't you dare!" Fade shouted, his face twisting in a fury. "If you dare to so much as touch them, I'll send you to hell for free."
"Is that it?" Faxon gave a short, mirthless laugh. "Since you don't believe it, then I'll let you have the first taste."
Then, he glanced towards the VIP seat and said, "That girl, Jasmine. She is your student and disciple, isn't she? It's a pity that Egas didn't manage to kill her before. Now..."
"You..." Fade raised his eyebrows, his nostrils flaring. Instinctively, he snapped his head to look in the direction of the VIP seats.
As if on cue, a hooded figure was silently creeping towards Jasmine from her side.
Fade's heartbeat quickened, and he shouted at once, "Jasmine, be careful!"
Jasmine responded to Fade's warning with a confused look. "What's wrong, Mr. Chen?"
Lucille and Hollace took the hint. Lucille immediately got up and threw herself in front of Jasmine protectively. Hollace, on the other hand, charged towards the hooded man and restrained him by pinning him under his body.
"What are you doing? Help, someone is attacking me!" The man yelped as he was being held down.
At that very second, a look of surprise flitted across Hollace's face as he shouted in realization, "Something's not right. He's only at peak- stage Yellow Level. It's impossible for him to..."
Fade's heart turned cold as he heard Hollace. His eyes glinted as he thought of something, and he immediately shifted his gaze back to Faxon from across the fighting ring.
Meanwhile, Faxon's mouth lined into a contemptuous sneer. He fumbled out a red pill and slipped it into his mouth. Almost instantly, his eyes turned red, and a huge blast of energy with a metallic tang of blood rushed out from his body. His energy took form in the shape of a bloodied long sword and rushed towards Fade.
"Gotcha." Faxon laughed sinisterly and lunged towards him with murderous intent. "I, Faxon Chiang, will never lose. I must win the first place on Dragon List. I will not lose."
Fade screwed up his face when the realization struck him like a flash of lightning.
Faxon had said those threatening words to distract him and took the opportunity to pop the pill and launch a sneak attack on him.
His intention to admit defeat earlier was simply an act for the sake of his final sneak attack to achieve victory. To emerge as the final champion, he resorted to foul play.
If Fade had been cool-headed enough earlier, he would have seen through Faxon's lie. Besides, Jasmine was sitting only less than two meters away from Galeno.
No matter how powerful Faxon was, he would never have the balls to hire assassins to kill someone under Galeno's nose. That would be a suicide mission.
However, he had been too nervous and overwhelmed by his worry about Jasmine's safety at that time, leading up to him being deceived by Faxon's lies and accidentally gave him the time to fight back.
Fade had only paused for less than three or four seconds as these thoughts flashed through his mind, but Faxon, who was determined to see blood, suddenly pounced on him. The deadly sword that stank of blood was only less than half a meter from Fade's heart.
The audience had not recovered from their shock at Faxon's submission, yet in the blink of an eye, they noticed that the tables had turned dramatically.
Faxon, who had almost lost the fight, suddenly launched a final attack at Fade in the final moment.
