At that moment, Linna suddenly saw a figure in a corner. She was stunned for a moment and then shouted, "Faunus, Mr. Huang, save us quickly!"
Her shout attracted his attention.
It turned out that a figure was curled up behind a pile of debris that had been blown away.
It was none other than Faunus Huang, the editor-in-chief of Lichee Daily who had snuck away earlier.
Although he had noticed the danger in advance and snuck away, he hadn't expected the battle to proceed so quickly. Before he could get far away, the aftershock knocked him to the ground.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to get hit by anything, so he was uninjured.
Therefore, he hid behind the debris and pretended to be dead. He hoped that no one would notice him.
At first, even if Fade and Jaddua had noticed a nobody like him, they would never come to fight him.
However, Linna, who was being held hostage, had noticed him and called out to him in desperation.
Immediately, several people turned to look at him.
Faunus glared at Linna and wanted to kill the stupid woman.
But at that moment, there was obviously no time for him to take action.
He looked at Jaddua and Fade. Without hesitation, he rushed straight to Fade, fell on his knees, and begged, "Mr. Chen, I'm a Chinese man. Please save me."
Linna was dumbfounded by this scene and could not think clearly. "Mr. Huang, you called for us to oppose Fade, but now..."
Faunus glared at her and said in a hurry, "Linna, don't talk nonsense. I always supported Mr. Chen and opposed these foreign warriors. Mr. Chen is the savior of our country. I will always be his supporter."
"You..." Shewas dumbfounded.
Fade looked at Faunus, who was smiling apologetically on the ground, and he found him absurd and ridiculous.
Faunus thought he didn't know him, so he denied what Linna said to survive.
He had to admit that this kind of shameless person was really tenacious.
Fade sneered and said, "Faunus Huang, Lichee Daily's editor-in-chief. You've published so many fake news stories about me. Do you really think that I don't recognize you?"
"Ah..." Faunus was stunned. He did not expect Fade to know him.
However, he reacted quickly. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong."
"I was forced to do what I did."
"Those foreign martial artists forced me to slander you, Mr. Chen. I was forced to do that!"
"Forced to do that?" Fade sneered. "Then, do you think it's necessary to brainwash these students and send them to oppose me?"
Faunus gritted his teeth and braced himself. "I had no choice. The foreign warriors forced me to do it."
Now, he had no choice but to push all the responsibilities to the foreign warriors.
However, upon hearing this, Jaddua sneered and said, "Mr. Huang, you didn't say that when you took the money from us. How did this become us forcing you?"
As soon as he said it, Faunus' face changed again. He quickly denied the accusations, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Linna was also surprised. "You mean that Mr. Huang only wrote those articles because he was being paid?!"
