Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1450

After treating and settling down the injured subordinates, Taufeeq glanced at the time and noticed that it was getting late. He was about to tell the others to continue on their journey. However, Zelson gestured at him to go aside, speaking in whispers.

"Zelson, what do you need me for?" Taufeeq stared at him, puzzlement in his eyes.

Zelson, however, assumed a serious expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Taufeeq, have you really never doubted this whole incident?"

"Zelson, what are you talking about?" Taufeeq asked.

Zelson threw a glance in Fade's direction and said warily, "Taufeeq, don't you think that it's too much of a coincidence for him to be around?"

"Well... Zelson, are you suspecting Fade?" Taufeeq asked.

He said, "Taufeeq, think about it. You deliberately led a team to travel at night in order to keep your access to the Dragon Mausoleum from others. But in the end, you still crossed paths with the strongest group of robbers led by Sirius."

"Why, as luck would have it, Fade suddenly appeared and rescued you just in time. Don't you think this coincidence calls for skepticism?"

"This..." Taufeeq was startled. "Fade saved us and even killed Sirius. I don't think he's suspicious."

"Taufeeq, when did you become so naive? Just because he killed Sirius, you deem it fine and dandy? What if he was sent by other forces? Or, what if he has other purposes? Let's say he might harbor indecen thoughts towards Clara, can you guarantee that keeping him by your side would be safe?"

"Besides, don't you think that it's suspicious for a young man, not even in his 30's, to be strong enough to kill Sirius?" Zelson whispered.

"This, this can't be. He couldn't have planned all of this. He didn't need to." Taufeeq shook his head.

Zelson added, "Taufeeq, you've underestimated just how significant the Dragon Mausoleum is in our circle! All the major martial arts forces are fighting with all their might to secure the qualification to explore the Dragon Mausoleum. You and I should know clearly how challenging it was to be judged qualified!"

"It won't hurt to be on guard. The qualification is rare and precious! We don't know what they would be planning just so they can get their hands on this," he said as he held Taufeeq's gaze.

He continued, "What's more, we are getting close to the opening date of the Dragon Mausoleum, and those who aren't qualified will only grow more desperate. At such a critical moment, Taufeeq, you can't afford to be careless even for a second. You must be vigilant at all times!"

These words had gradually impacted him. He started hesitating about his decision. He looked at Zelson and said, "Then, how should I..."

"How about..." Zelson dragged his palm across his neck.

Taufeeq shook his head immediately and said, "No, this is unthinkable, not right after he saved my life. I can't repay him like this."

Zelson immediately said, "If not, Taufeeq, you have to drive him away at the very least. You can't stay with him, or it will be too dangerous."

"This is..." He was still a bit hesitant.

Zelson pointed to Fade's side and said, "Taufeeq, look over there. It has only been a while and Clara is already being so intimate with him. You should at least think about her, if not for yourself. You can't let her get hurt."

Taufeeq whirled his head around and saw Clara holding Fade's arm, talking and laughing. He couldn't help but worry. He nodded to Zelson and said in a low voice, "I know what to do. I will send him away." Upon hearing that, Zelson nodded and said, "Taufeeq, you've made the right choice."

Immediately, the two turned and walked back. Zelson pulled his son, Horgan, aside and muttered something. Taufeeq walked towards Fade with a strange look on his face.

When Clara saw her father coming over, she said with a smile, "Dad, you're here. Are we leaving soon? I'll go with Brother Chen. We just talked a lot. Brother Chen is so interesting. We..."

Before she could finish her words, Taufeeq pulled her behind him. Then, he looked at Fade and said with a calm face, "Mr. Chen, I have something to talk to you, alone."

When Fade saw Taufeeq walking towards him, he already knew what was going on. After all, although the conversation between Zelson and Taufeeq was stealthily executed, Fade had still heard it clearly. Immediately, his face slackened. In an ice-cold voice, he said, "There is not a need for the trouble.

I will leave myself. You can very well relax."

Taufeeq couldn't help but be shocked at his words. A look of astonishment appeared on his face. He hadn't thought that Fade would see through his intentions in advance.

Clara, on the other hand, took a while to understand the meaning of their conversation. She immediately reacted, "Brother Chen, why are you leaving?"

Fade replied, "Some people won't be at ease if I don't leave."

As he spoke, his gaze fixed on Taufeeq.

His expression was a bit ashamed as he lowered his head.

Seeing this, Clara took her father's arm and asked, "Dad, what are you doing? Brother Chen saved our lives and we haven't even thanked him yet. Why would you send him away?" "Clara, you go ahead first. I'll explain it to you later," he said.

"Nope, no thanks. I won't let Brother Chen leave. Dad, you can't drive him away." Clara threw a tantrum.

At the face of this, Taufeeq hesitated again, his earlier resolve faltering.

At this moment, Zelson and Horgan approached them.

Horgan scooted to Clara's side and said, "Clara, don't be stubborn. At a crucial time like this, you should keep your temper aside."

"What crucial time? What does it have to do with Brother Chen?" She pouted and muttered.

He said, "We have in our possession the access to the Dragon Mausoleum. Now, don't tell me you have no idea what that means."

She halted for a moment before coming back to her senses. She then said, "Nonsense, Brother Chen is a good person. He won't try to steal our access. Besides, even if he really desires it, he saved us. We'll give our access to Brother Chen as a form of repayment."

"Clara, you can't yet understand how precious it is. You can't run your mouth like this," Horgan said.

"I'm not. I'm serious. Dad, why don't you just hand over the access to Brother Chen? We won't be going to the Dragon Mausoleum this time." Clara looked over at Taufeeq, her face solemn.
