Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1446
At last, the situation became clearer to Fade.
He nodded and thanked him. Then, he continued striding into the primeval forest.
Seeing this, the other party shouted, "Hey, where are you going?"
"Continuing my journey?" Fade wore a baffled expression.
The other party replied, "At this hour? Are you looking for death?"
Puzzled, Fade said, "The sky might be a bit dark, but the creatures in the primeval forest are not much of a threat to me as a martial artist."
Hearing this, the other party slapped his own head and said, "Oh well, I really don't know if you're brave or reckless. Bold as you may against the creatures in there, you have to be afraid of the people inside at least!"
"The people inside?" Fade revealed a trace of surprise and confusion.
The other party immediately explained, "A lot have heard about the news of the Dragon Mausoleum, and those present tonight aren't only martial artists like us, there are some with bad intentions too!" "They will stake out in the forest and rob or kill any martial artist who runs afoul of them. This bunch, they are extremely fierce and ruthless. Seven or eight people have already died in the forest." "It's already so late now. If you go in alone, doesn't that translate to a death wish? Why don't you stay here for a night and wait until the sun rises tomorrow? We can go in together in a large group." Fade figured out the situation.
However, it was the least of his worries. After nodding his head, he said, "Thanks for the reminder, but they're just robbers. They're definitely not a match for me."
After that, he stalked into the primeval forest, ever the courageous man.
The others could only sigh while staring at him.
"He is too reckless for his own good."
"See, he's still too young to know the danger!"
"That buddy is gonna end up a dead man."
"Forget it, don't worry so much about others. We should catch up on our rest."
In the midst of their discussion, Fade had already stepped into the primeval forest.
The unexplored primeval forest was lush with grass, trees, and vines everywhere. There were also insects and beasts hidden in the forest. It was a tough trek for any ordinary person.
However, it didn't present much of a difficulty for Fade. He exuded a layer of positive energy on the surface of his body, and with a gust of wind materializing beneath his feet, he quickly started to glide through the primeval forest.
Given that there was no one around, he didn't have to worry that someone would perceive his strength and identity, and with this thought in mind, he gathered speed.
After drifting for more than an hour in the primeval forest, Fade did not meet the robbers they had warned him of.
Suddenly, he saw that there was a light in front of him. Under the light, one figure after another was moving forward. It looked like there were about a dozen people. "Could these be the bandits? No way, they wouldn't be acting this conspicuously," he silently asked himself. Immediately after, he prepared to make a detour from the side. After all, he did not want to get into trouble and waste his time.
However, just as he adjusted his direction and veered to the left.
The group of people discovered him. The flashlight flickered towards him, and at the same time, they shouted.
"Who's over there?"
"Stop right there."
"Stop, or we'll attack."
"Send someone to check. It might be a robber."
Among the shouting, someone from the other party rushed over.
Seeing this, Fade stopped and said, "I am not a robber, I am just passing by."
"A passerby? You don't look like one!" A middle-aged man had already walked and stopped less than 50 meters in front of him, the flickering lights pointing towards him.
Behind the man, there were another four young men in their twenties. They were all clad in the same uniform and looked like they belonged to a powerful family.
Hearing this, Fade said, "I'm really just passing by. I just came in from the outside. If you don't believe me, you can contact people on the outside and ask around." "Contact the people outside? There is no signal in this primeval forest, how are we supposed to contact the people outside? I think you are obviously guilty," a young man angrily berated. He was known as Horgan Chai, and he was dissatisfied with Fade's attitude.
Fade was speechless, and then he frowned impatiently and said, "I don't care if you believe me or not. Let's just not get in each other's way. Will that be okay?"
He turned around and was ready to leave.
The middle-aged man, Taufeeq Moo, was the leader of the pack. He looked slightly relieved. The light shone over as he wanted to watch with his own eyes as Fade left.
Fade stepped forward and was about to retreat.
However, at this moment, Horgan suddenly shouted, "Stop right there. You're not allowed to leave."
Fade stopped, frowned, turned his head, and said in a cold voice, "What do you want from me? I won't cross you anymore, but you still want to stop me? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
At this moment, even Taufeeq looked confused. He looked at Horgan and asked, "Horgan, what are you doing?"
Horgan then said to him, "Mr. Moo, although he said he would not interfere with us, he might be related to the robbers. If we let him go away, the next thing we know, he might have leaked our whereabouts to them and put us all in danger."
Upon hearing this, Taufeeq's expression changed. His face also revealed some doubt and worry, his eyes vigilantly looked towards Fade as he pondered and hesitated.
Horgan saw this and did not wait for him to respond before he shouted, "Attack him and arrest him."
Then, he explained to Taufeeq, "Mr. Moo, we'd better err on the side of caution. It's always wise to play safe! If he's not part of them, we can always apologize to him later on, but if he is, then well be in trouble!" Hearing this, Taufeeq's expression grew in vigilance. He looked at Fade and said, "Young man, I'm Taufeeq Moo, and we are from the Moo family in the Zobery District. Just in case, please leave with us." Seeing this, Fade frowned and said coldly, "You are suspecting me with baseless accusations, and you want me to follow you? This is too much!" "You punk, Mr. Moo is already being nice to you, so you'd better follow us. Otherwise, we can easily kill you off, like right now!" Horgan said arrogantly, an embodiment of imperiousness.
