Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1078

"I hope that's the case. The main problem we have now is I'm not sure if Master Chiu can make it in time," Old Master looked a little solemn as he said.

"Even if we proceed without Master Chiu, Fade would not dare to touch a single hair on Miss Sasha. She is the eldest child of the Li family and is your granddaughter after all. Her status might save her from harm," Owen replied.

Old Master couldn't help but frown after hearing that, snorting coldly as he muttered, "Fade went overboard this time."

"Since he had cured me of my previous illness, I had been planning to reward him with a high-status position. Who knew that it would turn out like this? He's too self-absorbed to comprehend common sense! He even laid his hands on Sasha!"

Old Master slapped his hand on the armrest in anger, boiling with rage.

At that moment, Fenrir did not once acknowledge that the cause of the whole issue was that his family had broken their promise. They had breached the contract they signed with Fade, giving the Fire Blame Plant to Titan Chiu instead.

Perhaps this was a mentality all powerful families had.

They were under the impression that only other people were to blame for their faults; they themselves could do no wrong.

"After this, I'll have to restructure Jade City. This is my family's territory after all. I can't believe a kid from Dragonville is stirring up so much trouble! He's really getting on my nerves; it's simply atrocious!" Fenrir snarled.

Owen nodded fervently at that and said, "Old Master, your health has gotten a lot better. If you confront him personally, I'm sure you'll be able to show him up in a blaze of glory!"

"You really are a smooth talker. Alright then, let me rest for a bit. There's still a few hours left before we land," Fenrir replied as he closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Jade City seemed to be bustling with action in the night.

The Li family had begun to seek out various connections and found plenty of people to help them out. The search for Fade and Sasha was initiated.

The police, the military, merchants, martial arts sects, even the gangsters who walked the streets of Jade City had all come together at this time. They began scouring the city in search of news. The Li family who was fully mobilised had demonstrated its unparalleled appeal at that moment.

Even though Fade had the police and military help from Director Xu and Leonardo, the leader of the Stealth Team, to help cover his tracks, the people in Jade City managed to track him down. Of course, this was also partly because Fade was not deliberately hiding.

Fade had brought Sasha to a dense mountaintop.

They were now on Eastset Mountain, located on the east side of Sunset Mountain. It was a picturesque mountain that emanated a floral fragrance where bird chirps could be heard.

This mountain would have been a popular tourist attraction. However, as it was on the east side of Sunset Mountain, Master Chiu regarded it as the gateway to Titan Studio. That was why he would not allow it to be further developed into one.

As such, the top of the mountain was deserted and very quiet.

At that moment, Fade dragged Sasha towards a boulder that was situated there.

He sat cross-legged on the boulder and closed his eyes. He then began to meditate and recuperate.

Ever since he had gotten wind of Fenrir having given the Fire Blame Plant to Titan Chiu, he had already anticipated that Titan was likely to challenge him.

As such, he did not bring Sasha back to the hotel. If he did, he might drag Quin and Lily into this mess.

As night fell, the mountain fell into darkness accompanied with a drop in temperature.

However, Fade did not seem bothered by it at all. He remained motionless, sitting cross-legged on the boulder whilst he meditated.

On the other hand, Sasha, who was still dressed in a gown did not share his calm nature. Her dress was quite revealing, exposing large areas of her skin to the cold.

She was trembling in the cold at the moment. She crossed her arms, hugging herself to preserve some warmth as she looked at Fade.

Fade obviously did not feel sympathetic for her in the slightest, merely ignoring her piercing gaze.

Therefore, all she could do at the moment was curl herself up on the boulder and shiver.

After an undetermined amount of time had passed by, they started to hear the sound of sirens and the roar of helicopters getting louder and louder, approaching them gradually.

Fade, who had been meditating, couldn't help breaking away from his concentration.

He proceeded to get up and gaze at the scene below, soon discovering the anomaly.

Jade City was brightly illuminated at the foot of the mountain, littered with night lights that shone brilliantly. At this moment, Fade could see several rays of lights aimed at all directions, almost as if they were recreating a gorgeous light show. These lights were slowly but steadily approaching Eastset Mountain.

It was obvious that the Li family had sent people over to track him down. They must have discovered his whereabouts and were all rushing over to him.

Sasha, who had been shivering from the cold, stood up as well. She gazed at the beams of lights that were approaching with clear anticipation.

"Do you really think that they can save you?" Fade snapped coldy as he turned his head to look at the gleeful Sasha.

"The power of the Li family is beyond your comprehension! Looking at the current situation, at least half of the police force in Jade City have been dispatched to find me! The military as well! There will be other civilians coming to my aid too, you know," Sasha replied triumphantly as she

glared at him.

"I know you're a pretty decent fighter, but do you think you can beat so many people in one go?" She continued.

Fade shook his head at that and replied, "How quaint. You don't even know what I'm capable of."

"Even if the entire police force in Jade City are dispatched, they won't be able to rescue you from me."

Sasha had wanted to call him out on his blatant lies, but when she saw the indifferent expression he was sporting, she couldn't help but be tongue-tied. She had a bad feeling about all of this.

"Could he really be as capable as he says he is?" Sasha thought to herself.

At this moment, the sirens that could be heard coming from the foot of the mountain were getting closer. Police cars could be seen driving up the mountain and some police officers had begun to canvas the area, starting to hike up the mountain along the trails.

The helicopters overhead also flew over them with huge searchlights.

Under such circumstances, Sasha could not help the arrogant confidence that filled her heart at such a brazen display of power.

She turned to throw Fade a triumphant smile as she said, "As you can see, there are more people that you can handle coming to my aid right now. Things are going to get worse if you don't let me go."

"I understand that my family is at fault. We shouldn't have given the Fire Blame Plant we promised you to others," Sasha continued.

"But you have to understand that we had no choice but to do so. After all, the person who had asked us for it was Master Titan Chiu! How could we possibly disobey him?" Sasha attempted to analyze the situation to sound wise.

"Since the plant has already been given away, there's nothing we can do about it. Your anger will serve no purpose! You can put the blame on my family but the Fire Blame Plant has already been sent to Titan Studio so what's the point? It would be impossible to get it back at this point. Why don't we settle this with money? We'll compensate you with a sum, then you let me go. How does that sound?" She suggested
