Fade paid no attention to Lucio, nor did he care about anything else. He turned towards the arena.
However, Lucio moved forward to block his path. "What are you trying to do?"
Fade glared at him. "Get out of the way!" he shouted coldly.
Lucio glared back at Fade. "I'm your captain and the deacon of Poison Cloud Hall. How dare you talk to me like that?"
Fade's eyes were burning like a volcano about to erupt. "I don't care who you are. Get out of the way, or I'll stop being so polite."
"Are you threatening me?" Lucio raised his brow, his eyes filled with murderous rage.
"You can take it that way," Fade said coldly as he prepared to fight.
Lucio was also angry. His face was gloomy and a light green aura began to linger around him.
A student was going to fight with the team captain.
This scene was causing a stir among the crowd. Everyone was pointing at them and chattering.
Fade activated his positive energy and prepared to attack.
Suddenly, the referee's voice could be heard from the stage, "No. 21, Jaston wins."
The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly. Fade and Lucio turned towards the arena at the same time.
Jaston was left alone in the fighting ring, looking upset and angry.
Fade scanned the area for Joey and found her at the edge of the arena.
She was sprawled on the ground with her body covered with dust as she writhed and struggled. It must have been embarrassing for her.
Seeing this, Fade rushed over to free her. "Puff!" With a light tap of his finger, he broke the positive energy that Jaston had used to bind Joey. Then, he took off his jacket and covered Joey with it.
"Joey, are you alright?" He asked worriedly.
She pulled her clothes tight and said, "Fade, I'm fine. I fell down on purpose and rolled down from the stage. I didn't get hurt."
Although Joey understated the situation, Fade still couldn't suppress the anger in his eyes. He turned to look at Jaston who was coming down from the stage.
Jaston met Fade's gaze with a proud and indifferent expression. He even walked over. "I wanted to play longer, but I guess I missed the chance. What a pity!"
"You are courting death!" Fade stood up and glared at Jaston, ready to hit him.
"Why? Do you want to fight? Give it a go then!" Jaston looked at him provocatively.
Lucio said in a low voice, "Fade, are you looking for trouble?"
Next to him, Joey grabbed Fade and persuaded him in a low voice, "Fade, I'm fine.
Don't be impulsive."
Fade took a deep breath and suppressed his urge to start a fight.
Then, he looked at Lucio and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lou, you are also Joey's team leader. Jaston has targeted and humiliated her. Shouldn't he apologize?"
"Haha, apologize! What are you talking about? Are you kidding me?" Jaston laughed with his face full of pride.
Slightly frowning, Lucio said coldly, "This has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."
"But..." Alicia still wanted to say more, but Jaston came up to her and stopped her. "Alicia, you are my fiancee. It' s not appropriate for you to speak up for other men!"
"There's nothing between us!" After glaring at him in disgust, she turned around and left.
At that moment, the staff that Lucio had summoned arrived to escort Fade and Joey out.
However, Fade stopped the staff and said, "Lucio doesn't want me, but that doesn't mean the other teams don't want me."
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
But then, Lucio smiled, looked at Fade and said in a loud voice, "Who do you think you are? If I don't want you, would anyone else in the Martial Halls want you? Are you thinking too highly of yourself?"
At this moment, Fade looked at the team leader of the other Martial Halls in expectation.
However, when these captains saw Fade, they all looked indifferent and even disgusted.
After all, to them, if they accepted the person who had been fired by Lucio, it would be like picking up other people's trash. It would be embarrassing. Furthermore, even if they really wanted it, they had to consider the consequences of doing so. This would be equivalent to offending Lucio in public.
Poison Cloud Hall's strength was ranked among the best of the 16 halls. Lucio's strength was impressive, and he was not one to be trifled with.
After considering all factors involved, none of the captains of the other 15 halls were willing to accept Fade and Joey.
This made Lucio and Jaston smile even brighter. They looked at Fade with pride and arrogance.
At this time, Fade ignored these strange looks. He looked around and found a direction. He gently held Joey and walked over.
