SWNOVELS Chapter 2854
Soon after, the incomparably weak Viktor was dragged over and flung onto the ground below with a bang.
At that moment, he had a puzzled look on his face, and he was still a bit confused.
Three days ago, during the battle in Newsbery's branch, he had narrowly escaped. After returning to the headquarters, he had been recovering.
In the past few days, after his injuries had improved slightly, he had heard some news about Fade. He heard that Fade was going to make his way to the headquarters of the Illuminate Association.
In the hospital bed, he took it as a joke and didn't care about it at all, so he didn't pay attention to what happened next.
However, when he was dragged out, he saw the messy headquarters, Sariel, who was in a sorry state, and Fade, who was standing proudly. He suddenly felt terrified.
"Can it be that Fade really has come to the headquarters? And he's even defeated Sariel?
This is impossible, absolutely impossible..."
Viktor still found it hard to believe.
With an ingratiating look on his face, Sariel said to Fade, "Viktor has already been brought over!"
Fade glanced at Viktor and said coldly, "Kill him!"
Sariel's body stiffened. He lowered his head to look at Viktor as his strength gathered
Seeing this, Viktor's face turned pale. "Vice president, I am Viktor, I am a member of the Illuminate Association. You don't need to..."
Phew!
A wave of energy tore through the air, piercing through Viktor's heart, instantly killing him.
"Viktor is already dead." Sariel looked at Fade and stated.
Fade's expression remained cold, "There's also the thing about Duke Martial Arts Academy."
"This... This matter..." Hearing this, Sariel's expression suddenly became awkward.
Fade narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone, "You don't want to tell the truth?"
In an instant, he activated his ice essence and used it to cover Sariel.
He had over 30,000 streaks of ice essence, perhaps even more than Sariel's. Together with the additional effects of his other 40,000 streaks of martial essence, the terrifying power that erupted from him made Sariel almost unable to move. He didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.
Sariel felt Fade's terrifying strength and his expression changed dramatically. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you everything."
"Let's begin. I don't want to waste any time." Fade frowned and said coldly.
"The matter of Duke Martial Arts Academy began a few months ago. At that time..." Sariel's expression was extremely ugly as he spoke with difficulty.
Fade was about to listen, but at this time, melodious music suddenly sounded.
The murderous atmosphere on the scene suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Fade was stunned. He took out his phone and was surprised.
"Who's calling me at this time?"
He frowned slightly and looked at the number on the phone, which showed a number from his home country.
Fade's expression changed slightly. He gaveSariel a look for him to pause and used his energy to cover his opponent, rendering him unable to move. Then, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Fade."
"Fade, I'm Baldrick!" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Fade was a little surprised. "Mr. Mu, it's you! I'm in Micovia. What's the matter?"
Baldrick said, "Fade, I know you're in Micolvia. I'm watching you on the live broadcast."
"Uhhh..." Fade was even more surprised, and then he asked in a confused tone, "Mr. Mu, why did you call?"
Baldrick explained, "Fade, someone in our country wants to talk to you."
"Who is it?" Fade frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
Baldrick was nice to him, and he was watching the live broadcast, so he should know what Fade was facing now. At such a critical time, it wasn't in line with his style of behavior. Baldrick paused for about three seconds and then spoke in a low voice, "Mr. Hogan Loh wants to talk to you."
"Hogan?" Fade was unfamiliar with this name.
Baldrick quickly explained, "Mr. Loh took over Jotham's place after his discharge and sentencing."
Hearing this, Fade immediately understood Hogan's position.
Jotham was the former second-in-command of the army, second only to Jaguar.
Now that Hogan had taken over Jotham's position, he was presently the second-incommand of the army. Since Jaguar had been injured and was still recovering, it was basically impossible for him to deal with all kinds of things himself.
Therefore, Hogan was actually the best in the army.
At such a moment, it was already strange for Hogan to call Fade.
On the other end of the phone, Baldrick understood Fade's doubts and added, "Mr. Loh is also concurrently the president of the National Martial Arts Association of our country." Hearing this, Fade paused and immediately realized something.
The National Martial Arts Association of China was initially driven by those who wanted to promote martial arts in the country. Glover, the guardian of Optimus Clan, was one of the leaders.
At that time, he also invited Fade to work with him to open a martial arts training center.
However, Fade wasn't interested and rejected it. This resulted in a little conflict with the Optimus Clan.
Hogan served as the president of the association, which meant that he and the Optimus Clan were on the same side.
Thinking of this, Fade's face fell. He paused and was ready to hang up the phone. "Mr. Mu, say that I didn't..."
However, before he could say no, a deep voice came from the other end, "I'm Hogan. I'm ordering you to stop immediately and retreat."
His resolute and arrogant tone made Fade frown instantly.
After a pause, Fade said in a low voice, "Mr. Loh, what do you mean?"
"I mean, you should stop attacking the Illuminate Association and return immediately," Hogan stated.
Fade narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Loh, this is my personal affairs. It seems to have nothing to do with you."
"Nothing to do with me?" Hogan
sounded a little angry. "Do you know
how much effort Optimus Studio
had taken to sign a contract with the Illuminate Association in Micovia to promote the development of the world's martial arts?"
"Our contract is about to start, but now, you've fought the headquarters of the Illuminate Association. Do you think it has anything to do with us?"
Such angry reproach made Fade's expression become more gloomy. He spoke with an unhappy tone, "I don't know about your contract, and it has nothing to do with me."
"My attack on the Illuminate Association is a personal grudge between us."
Hogan thundered, "A personal
grudge? Do you have a sense of the
overall situation or a sense of
collective honor? Do you know that your personal behavior will ruin the
cooperation and relationship-
between two martial arts
nove
organizations, and even two
countries?"
