Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1610

After driving Warron away, Fade turned around and looked at the two Zhu family members. "Keeran, Leena, are you alright?"

"We're alright. Thank you for your help, Mr. Chen." Keeran shook his head and bowed to Fade to thank him. However, at this moment, his face was very pale. Obviously, he was in a bad mood. Seeing this, Fade could not help but ask, "Keeran, is the Zhu family in trouble? If there is anything I can help you with, feel free to ask."

"This..." Keeran hesitated.

Harmon said, "Brother Zhu, given our relationship, you can tell us anything. If there's something that needs to be said, then just say it. Let's all think of a way together. Perhaps we might be able to solve it." Keeran sighed, nodded, and began to tell the story.

Fade and the others listened and soon figured out the problem.

The Zhu family was a weak family of the hidden family. Three years ago, after the death of the Zhu family's Martial Grand Master, Old Master Zhu, the Zhu family's strength had been greatly reduced. They went from being a weak family to being among the last in the hidden family.

The Zhu family was weak, so it was naturally coveted by other families. They tried their best to occupy their properties and resources. Over the past three years, although Keeran had tried his best to maintain it, the Zhu family's properties had been reduced by about half.

This was still the result of having the Council of Elders. If not for them, the Zhu family would have been split up by the other families when Old Master Zhu died of illness.

Although they managed to maintain their strength, the situation of the Zhu family could be said to have reached the point of danger. This was especially the case for the election.

A new rule had been set up for this election. On top of participating in the selection of the chairman, there was also a new tournament for the younger generation. Each family from a secret sect had to select two young disciples under thirty years old to participate in the tournament.

In the battle, the results were determined according to the outcome of the match. However, after the two competitors of each family were both eliminated, the score put together would be the final score of that family.

In the end, when all the juniors finished competing in the ring, they would list out all the scores of the various families and calculate the percentage of their scores. In the end, the profit distribution of the hidden families would be according to this percentage.

For instance, if the Zhu family was able to obtain two points, out of a total score of two hundred, their total score would be 1%. Of the hidden family's overall assets, the Zhu family would get 1%.

But in reality, given the Zhu family's current situation, it was almost impossible for them to obtain a 1% share of the profit. In the end, they would most likely have zero points. They would not be able to gain any benefits from the hidden family.

It must be known that although the benefits of the hidden aristocratic families were basically divided based on their strength, as a whole, the Council of Elders would still be partial and support the smaller families.

However, according to this brand new rule, if the benefits were to be reallocated, the result would be that the stronger would get stronger, and the weaker would get weaker. A small family like the Zhu family might not be able to gain any profit, and ultimately be eliminated.

Taking advantage of the Zhu family's worries, Warron took the initiative to come to them and proposed a cooperation with Keeran.

His suggestion was that the Pei family would send a member to join the younger generation of the Zhu family in the tournament to help them obtain points. Their request was for Leena to marry Warron as a concubine.

Keeran only had one daughter, Leena. Of course, he didn't want to do wrong by his daughter, but he didn't dare to refuse the Pei family directly, so he had been looking for an excuse to delay it. The Pei family could not wait any longer. Warron came to them on his own initiative, and that was what led to the scene that just happened.

If it wasn't for Fade's help, the Zhu family would probably have been destroyed by the Pei clan before the election.

However, although the family had been temporarily preserved, once the election was over, the fate of the Zhu family would still be hard to change, and it would ultimately lead to their destruction. This was also the reason why Keeran's face was clouded with worry.

Romeo and Harmon were also filled with worry. They really wanted to help, but there was nothing they could do.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room was beginning to grow tense, Fade's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Zhu family, just now you said that the Pei family's proposal was for them to send people to help you by participating in the competition."

"Yes, the Pei family said that they could send a late-stage Earth Level martial artist to help us," Keeran replied.

Hearing this, Fade said, "If that's the case, then it means that the rules allow outsiders to help the families."

"This is indeed not forbidden according to the rules," said Keeran. "However, we, the hidden families, will all participate in the competition. We will definitely put our own battle results before anything else." "Even if there are powerful experts in the family, they will not lend them to other families. After all, in this competition, almost all the hidden families are enemies. Helping other families stand out is, in some sense, going against their own family. Therefore, no family is willing to lend out their own people."

Fade nodded and said, "If that's the case, what do you think of me?"

"Mr. Chen, you..." Keeran was stunned for a moment.

Fade replied, "I'm here to represent the Zhu family to participate in the Challenge Tournament."

"I-Is this true? Mr. Chen, are you really willing to..." Keeran had naturally heard of Fade's name before as he was a young Martial Arts Master. In addition, he saw Fade fight Warron just now, so he had no doubt about his strength. Therefore, at this moment, there was only disbelief left on his face.

Fade nodded and said to him, "I'm not kidding. I'm serious."

"Th- That's great. Your help, Mr. Chen, is the blessing of the hundred-year-old Zhu family!" Keeran was very excited.

Leena was also excited. She clapped her hands and said, "Fade, thank you."

He smiled and said, "It's nothing. Anyway, I'm going to confront those families sooner or later."

Thinking of this, Fade's eyes narrowed, and the faces of the Peis, the Chiangs, and even the Lins faintly appeared before him.

After the matter was confirmed, Keeran then explained the rules and various meanings of the arena battle to Fade in detail. At the same time, the Zhu family's representatives were reregistered.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon time for the arena battle to begin.

On this day, the entire mountain valley of the hidden family was filled with noise and excitement. Each and every one of them was beaming as they walked out of their houses and gathered in the center of the mountain valley.
