Upon seeing this, Fade didn't have to ask anymore, and he could guess who the person in front of him was. The man standing right in front of him should be no other than the number one person in the entire military in the country, Jaguar Xu.
Thus, Fade also got up and saluted, "Hello, chief."
Jaguar let out a light smile and appeared to be very polite and approachable. "You don't have to be so polite. Just relax."
Although he mentioned so, Galeno and Baldrick were still tense and nervous in front of Jaguar.
Jaguar glanced at Galeno and said, "Galeno, thank you for handling this matter."
"It is not a problem, chief. It's my honor to serve you," Galeno quickly replied.
Jaguar then looked at Baldrick and uttered, "Baldrick, thank you for taking care of Fade."
"I'm always here to serve you, chief." Baldrick was quite jumpy too.
Jaguar smiled and immediately added, "I have some matters to discuss with Fade."
The two of them immediately understood what he was trying to say and quickly left the room.
After the two left, Fade and Jaguar were the only ones left in the room.
Jaguar didn't say anything. He swept his gaze on Fade and sized him up. Fade was the same too, as he was openly sizing Jaguar up. There was confusion and curiosity in his eyes.
After such a long silence, Jaguar was the one who took the initiative to speak with a smile on his face. "Not bad. It's no wonder that you're Master Hsyanyuen's disciple."
Hearing Jaguar's words, Fade understood immediately. It seemed that the Army Lord took the initiative to back him up because of Aldred. With Fade's current status, he wasn't worthy of having such a big shot back him up.
"Thank you so much, chief!" Fade expressed his gratitude.
Jaguar laughed and continued, "You're welcome. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Xu."
"This... Uncle Xu! " Fade was slightly stuttering.
Jaguar heard this and chuckled. He looked at Fade and asked, "I think, you must be a little curious about why I helped you?"
Fade nodded and immediately replied, "Chief... I mean... Uncle Xu, are you friends with my master?"
Jaguar nodded and admitted, "It's my honor to know Master Hsuanyuen."
Speaking of Aldred, Jaguar's attitude was extremely humble, and there was even yearning in his gaze.
This made Fade even more curious about Aldred's capability and background as even the Army Lord showed so much respect for him. Moreover, it seemed like the mysterious person who ranked number one on the Divine Dragon List was most likely to be Aldred.
"Was it my master's idea for you to help me?" Fade asked.
Jaguar nodded, then shook his head and answered, "It kind of was, but not exactly."
This contradiction made Fade feel a little confused. "Uncle Xu, this..."
Jaguar smirked and explained, "Let me explain. I did help you because of Master Hsuanyuen. However, it's not as simple as it seems. I have a matter on hand that requires your assistance."
"My assistance?" Fade was even more curious. "Uncle Xu, with your status, why would you need my help? I'm..."
Jaguar waved his hand and interrupted, "You all think too highly of me and claim that I'm the number one martial artist in this entire country.
