Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1082

A gust of wind blew away the mist at the top of the mountain.

On the steps of the mountain trails, several figures could be seen gradually approaching Fade and Sasha.

As the figures got closer, their features became clearer. Martin and Fenrir could be seen heading towards them.

When Sasha caught sight of her father and grandfather. She couldn't help herself from letting out a loud sob, readying herself to sprint towards them with open arms, "Dad, Grandpa, you're here! I..." However, as soon as she took a step forward, an invisible force had pinned her in place.

Her knee slammed onto the slate with a loud smash as she stumbled from the unexpected force, smearing it with blood instantly. An expression of absolute pain painted her features and tears could be seen streaming down her face.

"Dad, Grandpa, save me!" She wailed.

When both men saw Sasha's haggard appearance, they were both distressed and furious.

"Sasha, don't worry! We'll save you!"

"Sasha, hold on! We'll get you out of here in one piece."

"Fade, if anything bad happens to Sasha, I'll have you..." Martin started to threaten fiercely.

However, before he could finish his words, Fade interrupted him with a snort. His eyes flashed like lightning, shooting a harsh glare at Martin as he growled lowly, "If you continue speaking nonsense, I'll kill you right here, right now."

Frightened by Fade's cold and murderous gaze, Martin stood frozen in place, unable to make another sound.

Old Master Fenrir on the other hand, was experienced in dealing with such threats. As such, he took a step forward with a sigh and said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, you're my savior, I will not forget that. But don't you think this is getting a little out of hand?"

"Oh? I'm your savior, am I? So you do remember! I thought the Li family members were all ungrateful b*stards. It's nice to know you've proved to be different!" Fade snorted sarcastically.

Fenrir lowered his head at that and replied slowly, "Mr. Chen, our family has indeed failed you this time round. We're willing to compensate you for it.

Please, just let Sasha go. We can sit down and have a civil discussion about this and get things settled."

"Do you think you can afford the compensation I desire?!" Fade sneered in reply.

"Mr. Chen, I am considered the richest man in this country. If it's the money you desire, I will grant you any amount. However, if you want anything else, I'm afraid I won't have much to offer. As long as you name your price, I guarantee I'll be able to fulfill it," Fenrir declared confidently.

"Money? When did I say anything about wanting money as compensation?" Fade scoffed.

"If money won't do it for you, then what do you want?" Fenrir inquired lightly before further adding on, "As long as my family can afford whatever it is that you want, we will definitely be able to compensate you, Mr. Chen."

"Really? Well then, I want the Fire Blame Plant. That and nothing at all. Anything else will not be able to compensate for my loss," Fade narrowed his eyes as he said.

At the mention of the Fire Blame Plant, Fenrir couldn't help glancing behind him. With a shake of his head, he said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, you know that the Fire Blame Plant is no longer in our hands! There's nothing we can do about it but we can definitely use other..." "No! I want the Fire Blame Plant or nothing else! I've warned you already, haven't I? I said that if you don't bring me the plant by sunrise, I would annihilate the Li family," Fade snapped, interrupting Fenrir in a cold tone.

Fade's words sent a terrifying chill down Fenrir and Martin's spines, making them quiver in fright.

Fenrir's face looked sullen as he lowered his head and went silent.

Martin on the other hand was filled with nervous energy and contempt. As such, he started to yell in anger, "Fade, you'd better not push your luck! You should know your limitations! Isn't it just a herb after all? We'll give you as much money as you want! Whether it be ten or twenty billion, we'll pay you! You can't keep Sasha hostage like this; you're going too far! You're..."

"Money, money, money! People from the Li family really love throwing it around to solve all your problems, don't you?" Fade cut him off harshly, his expression turning murderous by the second.

Martin was taken aback by this strong reaction, feeling a little unsure of how to proceed. He paused a little before continuing, "Well?! What's wrong with money? I don't believe that there are things in this world that money cannot buy, I..."

This time, without waiting for Fade to speak, Sasha quickly interrupted her father's monologue when she spotted the Fade's darkening expression, "Dad, stop talking."

"Sasha, why are you..." Martin stared at Sasha in bewilderment.

Sasha quickly explained, "Dad, Fade needs the Fire Blame Plant to cure his wife. He won't want anything else."

"What? To cure his wife?!"

Martin and Fenrir exclaimed, feeling completely dumbfounded.

If it had been other matters, they were confident that money would definitely solve the problem. However, when it came to someone else's life, it would be a tricky matter altogether. The two men shared a look of dismay with each other before lowering their heads.

At that moment, the marble white glow over the horizon was slowly turning orange.

The sun was rising.

Fade glanced at the sunrise and rumbled out, "Now, let me ask you one last time. Do you have the Fire Blame Plant for me?"

The two older men stiffened. Without replying to Fade, they turned their heads to the back and started to call out, "Master Chiu, well leave the rest to you."

After that, both Martin and Fenrir retreated. Cladded in a long robe, Titan Chiu stepped forward.

After reaching a distance of about twenty meters from the boulder, Titan paused. With a stroke of his long bread, he spared Fade a look and asked lightly, "Are you Fade Chen?" "You're Titan Chiu?" Fade grumbled out.

The disrespectful tone caught Titan off-guard as he muttered coldly, "You're the first person to speak to me this way in Jade City."

"I've had enough of this nonsense!" Fade snapped in a hostile manner.

Once Titan heard this, his expression turned solemn as he began to speak, "The Li family has given me the Fire Blame Plant you desperately desire. Now that you're attempting to give them trouble for doing me a favor, I have no choice but to defend them from you."

Fade had already expected this outcome a long while ago so he had not seemed startled in the slightest.

Titan narrowed his eyes at Fade's lack of reaction and continued, "Furthermore, you've also disabled my disciple, Brayden. I will help him exact his

revenge."

Fade glanced at the clouds that were becoming brighter and brighter as the sun rose over the horizon. He taunted menacingly, "The sun will be completely out any moment now. You won't have much time to speak nonsense soon. You'd best get everything out before then."

"You're really arrogant, aren't you?" Titan growled.

"Well, you're really full of sh*t, aren't you? If it's a fight you want, then what are you waiting for?! If not, get off this mountain and get out of my way!" Fade snarled back.

"It seems that my absence has caused my abilities to go unacknowledged and forgotten. Very well then, I'll show you once and for all just how powerful I am!" Titan bellowed.
