SWNOVELS Chapter 2830
Yannis' face became swollen and reddened, and she looked furious.
However, after all, she didn't dare to do anything to Rowette. She could only grit her teeth and silently endure it.
By the side, Thalia hurriedly asked for some ice to apply to her cousin's face.
Yannis whispered to her, "Thalia, I hope our choice this time is right."
Thalia sighed softly and did not make a sound.
Because their table was at the corner, their movements did not attract too much attention.
Moreover, the luncheon had already begun, so everyone turned their attention to the front.
The host stepped onto the stage, gave a speech, and then said, "Next, please welcome the dean of Duke Martial Arts Academy to give a speech."
The audience burst into thunderous applause, and three people came on stage.
In the middle was a tall, burly man with golden hair. He looked to be in his fifties.
However, everyone knew that Jordencewas already eighty years old.
On Jordence's left was a plump man about seventy years old.
He had a similar appearance with Rowette, so Fade assumed that he must be the assistant dean of the academy, Francies.
On the right side of Jordence stood a middle-aged woman in her forties in a suit.
She looked ordinary and had an indifferent expression on her face.
At a glance, it made people feel cold and a little uncomfortable.
"And this is?" Fade slightly tilted his head and asked Melisa.
Melisa kept the smile on her face and introduced the woman to him in a low voice, "Her name is Maeryn. She is the supervisor of the board of directors of our academy and is responsible for reviewing various matters concerning them."
"Her exact background and identity are very mysterious. No one knows for the time being, but there are rumors that she is one of the big boss' subordinates."
"Boss?" Fade was slightly stunned and looked at Melisa.
She understood his surprise and continued to explain, "Although Jordence is the dean of Duke Martial Arts Academy, he wasn't famous until he became the dean here. He used to be the head of a martial arts center. He was not the top in the martial arts world in Micovia." "After Duke Martial Arts Academy was founded, Jordence became the dean and he invited many martial artists from Micovia to be the teachers. Those people had no complaints. Therefore, some people guessed that there was a real boss behind him." Hearing this, Fade nodded with understanding.
Francies was the first to step onto the stage and say a few words.
Maeryn did not intend to step on the stage and just stood quietly on the side.
Thus, under the warm applause of everyone, Jordence walked onto the stage. With a confident smile on his face, he said in a clear voice, "Thank you all for coming to the open day and luncheon banquet of Duke Martial Arts Academy. Today, I have some good news to announce."
After a pause and under everyone's curious gaze, he continued, "Next year, Duke Martial Arts Academy will open at least 20 branches within Micovia."
"If any VIP has the intention to cooperate with us, you can contact us after the luncheon."
As soon as he said those words, there was loud applause, followed by the sounds of people discussing among themselves. Many were excited and they had already become a little impatient.
After all, they had witnessed the rapid development of Duke Martial Arts Academy in the past few months. It was so fast in recruiting many students.
Duke Martial Arts Academy could become the number one martial arts training institution in Micovia if it opened 20 branches.
If anyone intended to cooperate with them, the future profits would be unimaginable.
After all, everyone in Micovia was envious of the first martial arts training institution in China, Optimys
Studio. Now, they had the opportunity to participate in
el.né
Micovia's first martial arts training
institution, and they naturally did not want to let this opportunity go.
On such a happy occasion, Fade's expression was cold.
He was not excited as he frowned slightly and said to Melisa, "It seems that the boss behind the martial arts center can't wait any longer!"
She was stunned and looked at him. She was a little confused and whispered, "Mr. Chen, have you found anything?"
He looked at her. Instead of answering the question, he returned a question, "Do you want me to find anything?"
"I..." Melisa's face froze. Then, she squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm on your side. I'll do whatever you want me to do."
"We'll see," Fade responded faintly. He withdrew his eyes and continued to look at Jordence.
At that moment, Jordence began to tell the results of the recent development of Duke Martial Arts Academy.
He shared the number of students who had made rapid progress after joining the academy for three months.
He also spoke about which geniuses had broken through a level within a month.
As he gave the examples one by one, the excited crowd became more expectant.
In the end, Jordence passionately described the promising future of Duke Martial Arts Academy.
Suddenly, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
Amidst the applause, he ended his speech.
At that moment, Francies clapped his hands, and a waiter immediately brought three glasses of wine.
The three on the stage raised their glasses.
With a smile on his face, Jordence spoke to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's toast together for the development of Duke Martial Arts Academy, our cooperation in the future, and the development of the martial arts in Micovia! Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The scene was lively as the guests raised their glasses and then drank.
However, Fade, who sat in the front-row VIP seat, did not even raise his glass. He was not even bothered to stand up. He just ate the dishes on the table as if he did not hear what Jordence had said.
His behavior was so eye-catching that the three people on the stage immediately noticed it.
Jordence's eyes flickered as he glanced at Francies.
Francies understood what he meant. His expression darkened as he walked down the stage to Fade and said, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. Can I know whose honored guest you are?" Hearing this. Fade turned his head and glanced at him. He did not respond and continued to eat.
His attitude of disregard caused Francies to instantly become angry. His voice turned cold. "Did you hear me? Can anyone tell me who this gentleman is and who invited him?"
