Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1495

Amidst all the commotion, on the Chai family's side, Cadmus had a proud smirk on his face as he glanced at Taufeeq.

Taufeeq's expression was gloomy, his brows furrowed, and he seemed a little tense.

He had never expected this to happen. After Laxton was defeated, the Moo family had no one else to fight against Royce, although he still had a chance to find another substitute to replace the last contestant. However, the only one stronger than Laxton in the entire Moo family was Taufeeq himself.

However, if Taufeeq were to participate in the tournament himself then it would greatly affect their Moo family's reputation. Unless he was forced to the corner, he would never have thought of fighting by himself.

However, seeing what was going on, the Moo family was really going to lose this fight if he doesn't participate in the competition himself.

Taufeeq's expression turned grave as he tried to figure out the best course of action.

Without a doubt, the best course of action now was to find someone else stronger to replace the third contestant of the Moo family in facing Royce.

If that really were to happen, then Taufeeq has to participate in the fight, but this was going to affect the Moo family's reputation before the fight itself even began.

The worst option was to admit defeat, meaning the Moo family would lose to the Chai family in terms of their strongest aspect, martial arts, and this was definitely not something Taufeeq wanted to see. While Taufeeq was still hesitating, Cadmus, who was on the other side, took the initiative to say, "Master Taufeeq, this match is over. Have you decided who would be the third contestant of the Moo family?" "I..." Taufeeq was at a loss for words for a moment.

Cadmus said mockingly, "If there's no one else in the Moo family, then just admit defeat. It's better to avoid having another injured person."

Upon hearing this, Taufeeq's face darkened and his body erupted with rage.

However, his anger then turned into helplessness. He had no idea what to do right now.

The best choice was to find someone else more skillful as a replacement. His gaze fell on Fade and he couldn't take his eyes off him.

He didn't doubt Fade's strength at all. He was a Heaven Level martial artist and he had once defeated the Chiang family masters. It would not be a problem for him to defeat Royce.

But now, the biggest problem was how he could get Fade to agree to fight on behalf of the Moo family.

He quickly thought of various ways, such as begging, offering him benefits and temptations, and he might even start getting emotional by saying that he has a close relationship with his daughter. However, Taufeeq quickly dispelled all those ideas in his mind. He knew that all his tricks were meaningless to Fade.

In the end, he still chose the most direct and frank method. He stared at Fade and requested, "Mr. Chen, our Moo family is in a tight situation. I would like to ask you to represent our Moo family in the fight." After that, Taufeeq bowed to Fade with a sincere pleading expression on his face.

Hearing this, Fade was silent for a moment and he didn't speak. He vaguely squinted his eyes and stared at Taufeeq for a few seconds.

If it was just a fight, Fade had no problem helping them.

But now, this battle was between the Moo and the Chai families. This was a crucial moment in Long City, even in the entire Zobery District, and Fade wasn't interested to be part of this. Moreover, Fade was also somewhat dissatisfied with Taufeeq's indifferent manner regarding how he handled Clara and Keith's engagement.

After a brief hesitation, Fade decided that he wanted none of this. After all, he wanted to take a break with Moore and Joey by visiting the Lantern Festival and enjoy themselves. He did not intend to join a fight. Once he had made up his mind, Fade was about to open his mouth to speak.

Taufeeq seemed to have sensed Fade's intention in rejecting his request. Without waiting for Fade to speak, he once again pleaded, "Mr. Chen, please help our Moo family once more for the sake of Clara and I. The Moo family will definitely be very grateful to you."

A disapproving expression appeared on Keith's face when he saw this. He said disdainfully in a low voice, "Mr. Moo, you don't have to do this! If others saw the way you beg such a young lad, you would definitely be a laughing stock."

Clara defended, "Keith, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. Brother Chen is really skillful. He is a real master of martial arts. Do you think my father would be a laughing stock if he personally requested Brother Chen to fight on behalf of us?"

"A real master of martial arts? Him? I don't believe it." Keith had an unbelieving look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Clara was both furious and dissatisfied. She wanted to speak up for Fade.

But at this moment, there was a sudden burst of exclamation at the scene, next up an outburst of discussion followed. It was as if a drop of water had dripped into a pot of boiling hot oil, suddenly bursting outwards violently.

The conversation on the Moo family's side was immediately interrupted. Everyone turned to look at the boats.

Immediately, they realized the reason for everyone's exclamation. The hooded man had his hood blown off by the night breeze. It slipped down, revealing his face.

He seemed like a young man. His cheeks were thin, his jaw was angular, and there was an evil grin on the corners of his mouth, which gave him an inexplicable sense of self-confidence.

"It's him! It's actually him!" Taufeeq couldn't help but be astounded when he saw the man. His expression instantly turned unpleasant, and his face seemed more gloomy compared to when Laxton was defeated. "No wonder Laxton was defeated. I didn't expect it to be him!"

"How much did the Chai family pay to invite this master to help them?"

"No wonder. Now I understand. Everything is clear now."

The surrounding commotion caused Fade's face to be filled with bewilderment. He looked at Clara in confusion.

Clara's beautiful face also looked a little uncomfortable at this moment. She explained to Fade in a low voice, "Brother Chen, the man in the hood is Royce Ma."

"Royce Ma? Is he famous?" Fade frowned as if he had never heard of him.

Before Clara could explain, Keith said mockingly, "You're still putting on an act. Are you even a martial artist? You don't even know Royce Ma!"

"Let me explain. Royce Ma is from Paradox Mountain and he is the son of the semi-master, Windley Ma. He is also the actual apprentice of his very own biological father. Now, you know!" "Windley Ma?" Fade still felt a little estranged.
