As soon as Mattham stepped up, the other adjudicating alchemists could only shake their heads in defeat.
After all, the reason Eva had taken the risk to participate in the four- star alchemist assessment was to join Pill Fragrance Hall with Mattham. Now that she had passed, it was only natural for her to join him.
At this time, Mattham looked at Eva, who was standing next to him. She finally revealed a smile on her face.
The remaining judges could only turn their eyes to Fade and strive to gain his interest.
After all, in terms of the quality of their pills, Fade performed much better than Eva. If they could have Fade under their wing, it would definitely be a huge help.
Hence, all the alchemists gathered around him. With friendly faces on, they tried their best to get Fade on their side.
Before Fade could speak, a flurry of noisy footsteps approached him.
Everyone turned to look at what was going on.
The leader was a middle-aged man in armor, with a big saber in his hand. His aura was very imposing. Behind him, he was followed by a group of fully armed soldiers.
Seeing this, everyone was confused.
"Why is Mr. Huang here?"
"Did he bring his army to capture someone?"
"This is the Alchemist Association's examination room. Why would he come here?"
"Mr. Huang is no ordinary man. Since he's here, he must have the evidence to back it up."
"I wonder what kind of person required Mr. Huang to come here personally."
As everyone was trying to figure out what was going on, Jaxx brought his team closer to one of the alchemists.
Taking a closer look, the alchemist was none other than Tommie.
"Mr. He, where is the man you spoke of?" Jaxx asked directly.
Tommie pointed in Fade's direction and murmured a few words.
With a solemn face, Jaxx strode over to Fade.
Immediately, the crowd was taken aback.
"He's here to arrest Fade? What on earth is going on?"
"Could it be because of what happened before? Artur from the Wood Fragrance Trading was planning to capture him, but he was stopped because of the assessment."
"It can't be. There's no way Artur managed to mobilize Mr. Huang."
Listening to the discussions around him, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Tommie's mouth.
He was the one who had called these people over.
Initially, he had not taken the capture of Fade very seriously. He figured once the assessment was over, Artur would take him away.
However, he never expected Fade to pass through all the assessments. When he passed the three star alchemist assessment, everyone realized that he was an alchemy genius.
That was when Tommie started to realize that there was a problem.
There was a high chance that the Alchemist Association would step in to protect Fade as a three-star alchemist. If that was so, Artur would not be able to take him away.
In addition, Zoella had failed her four- star assessment. She was gravely injured, and that signified a deep disadvantage on their part.
Hence, Tommie decided to secretly contact Cormac and tell him about Fade. He exaggerated the events of what happened and blamed Fade for what happened to Zoella.
