"You..." Ichigo choked with anger at Fade's words.
With that, he felt a chill running up his spine. He gritted his teeth and raised his right hand, condensing a stream of positive energy.
"Ah!"
With a loud roar, the positive energy in Ichigo's right hand stabbed into his heart.
Bang!
Blood splashed everywhere.
The light in Ichigo's eyes slowly faded, and his body gradually became cold. He fell onto the cold ground of the hall, staring at Fade with his eyes wide open.
The entire hall fell silent. No one dared to make a sound.
Secondson waved his hand and asked one of the men to confirm that Ichigo was dead. Once the subordinate had done so, he dragged Ichigo's body out of the hall.
Then, Secondson glanced at Fade and said to Firstson, "Master Firstson, since the situation is clear now, I believe Fade should be rewarded for killing the actual villains."
Firstson nodded and said to Fade, "Fade, it was I who was incompetent in managing this matter, to have caused you such danger."
"After the Contest of Three Palaces, I promised you that if you complete your task, I'll set up a new hall and let you be the Chief." "Now that the Mad Dragon Hall needs a new Hall Chief, I won't be setting up a new palace, and you'll be Mad Dragon Hall’s new Chief. What do you think of that?"
Firstson's decision caused another rowdy scene among the crowd.
Janus couldn't help but frown. He was not sure if it was a good idea.
After all, Ichigo had just died because of Fade. If they made him the new Hall Chief, the members would surely be unhappy about it even if they were not expressive of it. There was a high chance of the members playing all sorts of tricks on Fade.
With this thought in mind, he was ready to stand up and speak for Fade.
However, just then, Fade said directly, "Thank you for your favor, Master Firstson. I'm willing to be the Hall Chief of Mad Dragon Hall."
Janus choked at his words and almost yelled out.
Many of the others were surprised and started whispering amongst themselves.
Even Firstson's eyes flickered as he said, "Since you're willing, then it's decided. You've just returned today, and you must be tired from the journey. Go back and rest. I'll hold a banquet to celebrate your achievements some other day."
"I appreciate it, Master Firstson." Fade cupped his hands in thanks.
Firstson stood up and announced the dismissal of the meeting.
Then, everyone left one after another.
Although Fade had become the new Hall Chief, no other Chiefs took the initiative to greet or congratulate him because of what had just happened.
It did not bother Fade, however, and he just walked straight out of the hall alone.
Not long after, Fade saw Lamella walking towards him. She said in a low voice, "Fade, the Hall Chief wants to invite you over for a chat."
Naturally, she was referring to Janus. Janus treated Fade well. In addition, he had spoken with him many times in the hall, so of course, Fade would not refuse.
"Lamella, I'll be right there."
She nodded and glanced at him. She said in a low voice, "You are now a Hall Chief. It wouldn't be great if someone hears you calling me that."
He smiled gently. "You will always be Lamella to me."
"Moreover, I'm now a Hall Chief. I won't hold back if anyone laughs at me."
