Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1753

When the martial artist came back to his senses, he raised his broadsword high and slashed at the wild cat, cursing. "Sh*t! How dare a cat attack me! You deserve to die!"

He was determined to kill it in one blow.

However, something unexpected happened when the broadsword hit the claws of the wild cat. To his horror, the rigid alloy sword was sliced off by the wild cat with a snarl. Under his astonished gaze, its sharp claws charged at the martial artist's neck.

The martial artist was shocked, his eyes widening. There was no time left to respond. He could only stare at the wild cat coming towards him, and he was about to scream in fear.

At this critical moment, a thick branch flew through the air with a "whoosh". It hit the wild cat at the final second, and the enormous force pushed the wild cat away, nailing it to a big tree.

The wild cat yowled as it struggled frantically with its claws, desperately trying to cut through the branch. Within a few seconds, it managed to claw away half of the tree branch. Finally, it released its final breath and hung limply on the tree, motionless.

"The animals here are abnormal. Be careful, all of you. Stay alert," Fade reminded everyone.

Everyone returned to their senses at this moment. Fade was the one who flung the branch at the cat earlier. Suddenly, many of the rogue martial artists saw him in a whole new light.

After the incident, their view of him began to change even more significantly.

That wild cat at the beginning could only be considered a warm-up for their expedition. After that, various types of animals emerged and pounced from left and right, such as wild dogs, black bears and wild boars. Even gentler animals like rabbits and chickens went berserk and attempted to attack them aggressively.

After witnessing the ferocity of the wild cat earlier, everyone did not dare to be careless or let their guard down at that point. They used all they had to fend off the invasions.

Yet, no matter how cautious they were, their strength was limited after all. They were still able to face small animals like rabbits and chickens, but they struggled to go against the aggressive black bears and wild boars that were twice their size.

These lunatic beasts held terrifying strength, almost as strong as a late stage of the Black Level martial artist. Although they were huge, they were always abnormally nimble and quick. The martial artists could smell their stink before they could see them. As they battled, some of the martial artists were also worn out, which weakened their defense.

For a time, a lot of them fell into a dangerous situation, barely inches away from death.

However, at every critical moment, Fade would act like a savior that descended from the Heavens and saved their lives with seconds to spare.

The wild boars and black bears, which were difficult for them to deal with, all failed to resist his attack.

After half an hour of intense battle, the forest finally quietened down again. Everyone was panting as their energy was significantly consumed. They were drenched with animal blood and their own sweat, even some tears.

Only Fade's clothes were spotlessly clean, as if he had just entered the forest.

Finally, everyone had witnessed his powerful abilities with their own eyes. A handful of them even got their lives back thanks to him. Contrary to before, they were now filled with gratitude, astonishment, and respect towards him.

Some of the martial artists who were straightforward, now directly went up and apologized to him.

"Mr. Chen, I thought you were not good enough before. I was blind and wrong. In future, I will do whatever you want me to."

"Thank you for saving me, Mr. Chen. I acted sarcastically towards you before. I should slap my own mouth!"

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking yesterday. I was too stupid. You are the real master!"

Fade laughed and waved his hand, saying, "All of you don't have to do this. We are all here to investigate the case, so we are partners. It's good to clear the air. Next, let's take action together!"

His gracious attitude convinced everyone even more, and they all clamored that they would help him until the end of the world.

Seeing this, Jacques couldn't help but grin, "As expected of Mr. Chen. I have to admit that your way of winning people's hearts with your strength is much better than mine!"

Then, the group of people passed through the mountain forest and continued onwards.

Tom also went to work. He followed the previous clues and began to investigate carefully.

In the end, they climbed over the forest and saw a column of dark smoke from a small clump of houses and huts. Everyone watched in stunned silence.

"There's actually a village in a place like this? Is anyone there?"

"There is smoke and noise. There must be people!"

"I researched that this village is registered with the municipal government. It's a small village bordering Dragonville and Bay City, called the Twin-dragon Village. It was said to be an ancient village, and it's under the city's relic protection. A few years ago, archaic experts from the city even came to visit."

Everyone broke into a discussion, but Tom's expression significantly seemed to darken. He announced, "According to the leads, this village is our final destination."

Upon hearing this, someone could not help raising his voice.

"No way, no matter how you look at it, this village doesn't seem to have anything to do with those things!" "They're all villagers. They wouldn't manage to have done such a thing, could they?"

"Let's go down and take a look. We'll find out after checking. Why the trouble?"

One of them was about to descend from the mountains, but Fade immediately instructed, "Don't go down. There's something odd about this village."

His current prestige in the team was completely different than before. As soon as he spoke, the person stopped his actions. Everyone landed their gaze at him, "Mr. Chen..."

Fade continued gruffly, "I can't determine the specifics clearly because we are too far away, but judging from the aura, the Twin-dragon Village had a similar aura as the forest just now. There's definitely something fishy. What's more, I have a gut feeling that this village will be more dangerous than the forest."

Upon hearing this, many people's faces suddenly blanched.

If it wasn't for Fade, most of them would probably have died there in the forest. Since this village was even more dangerous than the forest, most of them started to tremble a little in fear. Jacques looked at him and asked, "Mr. Chen, what should we do now?"

Fade hesitated slightly, "I could sneak in to assess the situation if I'm alone, but now, there are too many people. Even with me here, I'm afraid I can't handle it if accidents occur. Therefore, I suggest delaying our actions. Let's withdraw first and organize elite troops to come alone tomorrow."

After hearing this, Jacques nodded and said, "That would be a better plan. Since there are at least fifty to sixty villagers in this village, there would be a matter related to many lives and their safety. I'll go back and ask my superiors for instructions."

"Well, since that's the case, let's retreat!" Fade ordered.

After deciding, the group of people immediately retreated using the original route they took to arrive here. On their way back, Fade even took a few of the animal corpses back for investigation. He wanted to know the reason why these animals had turned all aggressive and crazy.

Back in the barracks, he began to select people to form an elite team.

Meanwhile, Jacques reported the situation to his superiors and asked for instructions on the next step.

Soon, the next day arrived. Fade organized a team of elite soldiers, all of whom were at the intermediate stage of the Black Level. A total of twelve people prepared to head towards Twindragon Village for a closer look.
