The Chief Executive and Titas asked at the same time, "Who is it?"
Fade smiled as he blurted a name, "Lucas Xie."
"Lucas Xie?" The others weren't familiar with this name, not knowing who it was.
Leonardo thought for a while and then a clue popped up in his mind. He said, "Lucas must be the master I saw working by your side. Am I right, Mr. Chen?"
Fade nodded and affirmed his question, "That's right. Lucas was a warrior whom I defeated when I was in Bay City. Since then, he has been by my side."
"His current strength has reached the late stage of the Black Level, and he is not far from the pinnacle stage of Black Level. When he becomes the Martial Soul of Jade City, I can guarantee that he will be loyal and cooperative with the Chief Executive and Sergeant Xu."
When the Chief Executive and Titas heard this, they looked at each other and pondered on the suggestion.
The Chief Executive mused, "Lucas' strength which ranges from the late stage of the Black Level to the pinnacle stage is not considered as top-notch, but it is more than enough to be the Martial Soul of Jade City."
Titas chimed in, "However, it's mainly prestige. The Martial Soul of Jade City must be able to suppress everyone in the martial arts world, so that everyone can unite and resist the invasion of external martial arts forces. If he can't unite the local martial arts forces, I am afraid that he will not be qualified for the position regardless of how powerful he is."
Fade understood their concerns and responded, "I understand what you both mean. Now, if Lucas wants to take on the position, the biggest obstacle is prestige. Without prestige, he can't convince people, right?"
"Yes, this is the key point!"
"Indeed, if he can't convince the public, his position will be unstable. After all, Titan has been operating in Jade City for several decades before securing this position."
Fade pondered for a moment after listening to their remarks. He then said, "It's probably impossible for Lucas to achieve the level of prestige like Titan's in a short time. After all, years of hard work can't be rushed overnight." "Nonetheless, in this short time, I still have the confidence Lucas is able to gain a certain amount of reputation to suppress other people in Jade City's martial arts world." Fade smiled confidently.
The Chief Executive and Titas were taken aback and looked at Fade.
"Fade, what do you mean? Are you going to let Lucas compete to become famous?"
"If he wins a championship, he might be able to rise in a short time."
Fade smiled and answered, "Yes, that's what I have in mind. However, it's not a contest with the people in the martial arts world, but against those outsiders."
"What?" The few people came to a sudden realization and their eyes lit up.
Fade continued, "Now, Jade City's government and martial arts forces do not welcome these foreign martial artists. If Lucas can defeat and drive away these foreigners, he will naturally be able to establish prestige in the local martial arts world and secure his position."
"If he can do it, it will naturally be the best," the Chief executive nodded as he agreed.
Titas also peered at Fade and inquired, "Mr. Chen, what are your specific ideas to execute this?"
Fade thought about it for a while, then smiled and replied, "Since these outsiders are heading to Titan Studio, we can use this as an opportunity to attract them over. By then..."
Listening to Fade's plan, Titas and the Chief Executive nodded vigorously. They did a final discussion, decided the overall plan, smacked the table in satisfaction and declared, "That will be the way we do it. Later, we will start to execute it quickly."
Immediately, the Chief Executive began to arrange the work.
"Yes, yes, I will work hard." Lucas grinned happily.
Fade nodded and instructed him, "Well, then, you should keep in touch with Sergeant Xu and the others. Do cooperate with Sergeant Xu and the Chief Executive."
"I will definitely cooperate," Lucas answered determinedly as he was subservient.
After things were arranged, Fade was prepared to leave.
At this time, Leonardo stopped Fade and uttered in embarrassment, "Instructor Chen, please wait for a moment."
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Fade stood still and asked aloud while staring at Leonardo.
Leonardo scratched his head before peering at Fade and muttered, "Instructor Chen, I would like to ask you a favor on a certain matter. I wonder if you have the time?" "Spit it out. What's the matter? Don't dillydally," Fade spoke curtly.
"Yes!" Leonardo quickly straightened his posture and said to Fade, "The thing is..."
"Our Stealth Team will hold a joint training exercise in each area of the city every once in a while. This is to train the combat effectiveness of the team and enhance their combat capabilities in other areas."
"So?" Fade nodded, knowing roughly that Stealth did have such rules. They used to gather at intervals to conduct training exercises to maintain the team's combat effectiveness.
Seeing Fade nodding, Leonardo continued, "These few days, it's the Southrea District's turn for training exercises."
