Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1541

After that, Afton hung up the phone. His eyes were serious and cold. He calmed down and shook his head before commanding his men to continue cleaning up the scene.

Just then, in the courtyard of the Xu family, Pascha was rooted to the ground, unable to make a move. The beeping tone of the mobile phone could still be heard as he was still holding it. "Old Master, Old Master!"

In the end, he finally came to his senses after being nudged by his secretary. He handed the phone to his secretary and walked to his room.

When his secretary, Anstice, noticed his pale face, she looked worried as she followed behind him, "Old Master, let me help you. You should get some rest..."

"No, you may leave. Leave me alone for a while," Pascha waved his hand. He then slowly hobbled into the room.

Right then, he had completely lost his previous high-spirited appearance, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Although Anstice was worried, she could only turn around and go about her own business when

Pascha asked her to leave.

However, not long after, she suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by a noisy commotion coming from outside.

All of a sudden, she felt her heart drop, and she immediately rushed out.

She hurried into the courtyard. At that moment, many people had gathered in the yard, and each of them was looking extremely frightened as they kept retreating.

Anstice pushed through the crowd and rushed over. Then, she saw a man lying face down on the grass.

The person had slammed head first into the grass, and his skull had become deformed from the impact of the fall. Beneath the body, a pool of dark red blood had formed, staining the green grass a crimson ruby color.

Looking up again, she noticed that Pascha's coat was still hanging on the balcony on the third floor, dancing along with the wind.

"The Old Master, he..." She muttered. She recalled his last few words and the silence that overcame Pascha after he made the call just moments ago. She murmured in a daze, "The Xu family is finished!" The next day, the whole Southzobe City was in an uproar.

In this era where all kinds of news travelled fast, people had already gotten used to all kinds of strange and shocking news.

Yet, when the news of six Xu family members being killed in an abandoned factory, as well as the suicide of the Xu family's Old Master, Pascha Xu, broke out, Southzobe City, and even the entire Zobery District were swept with shock and disbelief.

All kinds of gossip and rumors quickly spread.

There were many different speculations trying to explain the sudden death of the six Xu family members, as well as Pascha's death, but there was no evident conclusion. Nonetheless, the final consensus that everyone had arrived at was eerily similar: the Xu family's era was officially over.

The Xu family, which could almost represent the official government of Southzobe City, suddenly collapsed, catching everyone off guard.

Of course, back at the Choo family's house, Clara, Hailey, Heinz, and the rest knew what was going on!

They already thought Fade was extremely admirable, but after knowing what had happened, they were even more in awe of him.

The well-informed rich and powerful people in Southzobe City quickly came to visit the Choo family. One by one, they presented Fade with all kinds of precious gifts, hoping they could get close to him. Nevertheless, he was not interested. He refused to meet any of them, and sent all of them away.

Moore, on the other hand, found Fade. He had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he had a question he wanted to ask.

Seeing this, Fade said directly, "Master Chen, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Moore nodded and asked, "Fade, Joey told me before that she trained under Master Hsuanyuen from Tianwu Mountain in martial arts, just like you."

"That's true!" Fade confirmed it.

Moore continued, "Joey also told me that your current strength has already reached the peak of the Heaven Level, which is very powerful. As for her, she has attained the strength of the midHeaven Level stages."

"That's true too." Fade said, "Master Chen, if you want to improve your cultivation, I can..."

Moore shook his head and explained, "I'm not in a hurry to increase my cultivation for the time being.

What I wanted to ask was why Joey was captured by Maldrick's men despite being so strong? It seems..."

Speaking of this, Fade's face couldn't help but sink, and his expression grew a little serious.

"Is there anything you are not comfortable telling me? If that's the case, I won't ask any more questions," Moore smiled.

Fade shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's nothing much. It's just that I thought that she would tell you herself." "What's the matter?" An ominous feeling rose in Moore's heart.

Fade revealed, "When my master brought Joey back to Tianwu Mountain, she was seriously injured and was on the verge of death."

"Thankfully, he managed to save her. However, she was already seriously injured in the first place. Even if he rescued her himself, she was still very weak, even more so than most ordinary people." "If so, Joey..." Hearing this, Moore couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

Fade continued, "Master taught her martial arts from an early age in order to train her body. His original intention was to help her build up some muscles and keep her in good health." "He never expected Joey's potential in martial arts to be astonishing. She surpassed most of the martial artists and made rapid progress."

"Initially, it was good news for any martial artist to improve quickly, but for Joey, there was an exception."

Moore couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with her?"

Fade sighed, "Joey was seriously injured when she was a child. Apart from her severe injuries, her internal injuries were pretty bad, affecting her meridians and several organs."

"It wasn't such a big problem at first. However, as her cultivation increased, the positive energy within her continued to grow denser and circulate quicker. Because of that, her weak meridians and her dantian were unable to withstand the impact of the positive energy."

"That was why Master forbade her from cultivating martial arts. At the same time, she persevered and insisted on cultivating. She was also looking forward to her success in her cultivation and finding traces of her parents."

"Hence, Master thought of a lot of ways to help her. He used a lot of different medicinal concoctions to help her repair her meridians and her dantian. However, it wasn't enough. She had to slow down her cultivation. If not, her meridians and her dantian would explode from the sheer impact of the positive energy circulating within her."

"Master once said that Joey's talent in cultivation is no less than mine. If it wasn't for her body, perhaps she would have already long surpassed z-x me."

At that thought, Fade couldn't help but sigh heavily, and his gaze was filled with resignation and empathy.
