Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1754
As soon as they left the barracks, Jacques stopped them, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."
"Jacques, is there anything else?" Fade asked.
Jacques' face darkened., "Mr. Chen, we might need to consider our actions carefully. There's no good in being too hasty."
Fade frowned when he heard this and exclaimed, "Jacques, this matter is urgent. I'm afraid that things will worsen if we delay any further!"
"Commander, I don't know what will happen if this drags on."
"That's right. Perhaps the villagers are already suffering as we speak."
Jacques seemed bitter as well, replying helplessly, "T-This is not my decision, but the higher-ups. I reported what we saw yesterday, and the leader instructed that they'll send Lieutenant Hsiang to take charge of the village's affairs."
As soon as he finished his words, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"What do you mean, sending someone over now?
He doesn't trust us?"
"I know of that Daemyn Hsiang. He's a second-generation soldier and has relations with the higher-ups. He has been working in our division's operations and doing admin work. Why is he holding such a big role this time?"
"Isn't it obvious? Since he wanted some merits, he's here to claim them. Mr. Chen just solved the forest issue and discovered a village. Then, the superiors sent Daemyn down. Why didn't the management send him over when we were begging for help?"
"What are they thinking? Those people only sit in the office and make a big fuss. They think they can do whatever they want."
"This is a major event that concerns the life of the village people. How could we let this office boy run amok!"
Jacques remained silent among the crowd's discussions.
Fade opened his mouth after a pause, asking gruffly, "Jacques, is there no other way?"
Jacques shook his head, dejected, "This is an instruction from the superiors. The men have already departed and will reach here soon to take over control. I have no choice but to follow orders." Fade fell silent after hearing this. Then, he turned to face Jacques and said, "In that case, I shall prepare a few plans. Jacques, please pass it to them when the time comes and remind them to be careful." "Alright, thank you, Mr. Chen." Jacques gave him a helpless nod.
However, the moment Fade turned around to return to the barracks and prepare the plans, a loud rumbling was heard. Then, a blaring voice filled with arrogance followed. "Huh? What plan? I, Daemyn Hsiang, had never needed someone else's plan to take control. What a joke!"
Startled, everyone turned to the source of the sound.
Seconds later, they saw a military vehicle screech to a stop and braked hastily in front of the barracks. A man in his twenties in army uniform exited the passenger seat and stepped out.
The man glowered at Fade. He sneered, "Are you the one who wants to share your plans with me?"
This was obviously Daemyn, who would be taking over Jacques. Fade identified his strength at a glance. He was a decent late-stage Black Level, but only that - decent.
With no expression on his face, Fade nodded and replied flatly, "It's me."
At this moment, Jacques hurried out and explained on behalf of Fade, "Lieutenant Hsiang, this is Mr. Chen. We managed to break through the forest and found clues about the Twin-dragon Village because of him. Mr. Chen is powerful and has plenty of experience in dealing with the strange animals."
"To accomplish the task more efficiently and ensure the safety of the masses, Mr. Chen intends to write a proposal for your references."
Jacques tried to maintain a polite tone, but when Daemyn listened to him, his face had a look of disdain. He glared at Fade and barked, "You led the previous movements? What about your plans?" Jacques gave Fade a hesitant glance. Swiftly, he took out paper and pen and wrote a few suggestions in the blink of an eye. He handed it to Daemyn coldly, "Here's my plan."
Fade wasn't afraid of him, but he was worried about the innocent people's safety. He wanted to solve this matter quickly. That's why he couldn't be bothered by Daemyn's rude audacity. Daemyn took over the paper from Fade and didn't even take a glance. He threw it over his shoulders to a middle-aged man in a black suit, instructing, "Lencho, what do you think?" Lencho gave it a flicker, and a smug smirk stretched on his face. He snickered rudely, "You called this a plan? I think this is just some coward's escape strategy."
While speaking, he tore the paper into shreds and threw it on the ground. Then, he proceeded to leer at Fade disdainfully with a provocative expression.
Fade's expression turned stony as he remained quiet. However, everyone at the barracks who saw the scene was bursting with anger. They glared at Lencho and Daemyn, furious.
Jacques quickly stood up and explained, "Lieutenant Hsiang, the monsters and opponents this time are unusual and difficult to deal with. Mr. Chen's plan is cautious and also considers everyone's safety." "Cautious! Ha! I think it's just pure weakness. What monster is it? It's just some wild beasts, right? Just shoot it directly with guns. If it doesn't work, you can directly blow them up. I don't believe those things can survive." Daemyn scoffed, full of pride.
"Jacques, you've been fighting a group of wild beasts for a half month. I truly doubt your ability!" Daemyn side-eyed him.
Jacques' face darkened, but he still reminded him out of good faith, "Lieutenant Hsiang, the beasts we are dealing with this time are indeed different and difficult to deal with. Also, Mr. Chen has said that the Twin-dragon Village was suspicious. By the time..."
"What's strange about it? It's just a village with a few dozen villagers. I'll arrest and interrogate them directly. You'll know everything when they confess at the end of the day. Is it really that complicated?" Lench snickered by the side. Then, he turned to Daemyn and asked, "Mr. Hsiang, why don't I take my subordinates to that village right now and bring all the villagers here. Boom, mission accomplished." "We can't go there. There..." Jacques hurriedly shouted.
Daemyn just waved his hand and yawned. He said, "Lencho, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I've been rushing all the way here. I'm exhausted. Let's talk about this after a while. It's not difficult, after all. We can deal with it as we like later."
"If that's the case, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Lencho was confident. He then said to Jacques, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear that Mr. Hsiang said he was tired? Go clean up the barracks and let him rest!"
Jacques was reluctant and his expression bitter.
However, he had no choice but to act.
Subsequently, Daemyn swaggered into the barracks with his troops, with around seven or eight cronies following behind him.
Seeing this, Fade shook his head. Without saying a word, he walked away from the barracks without looking back.
If such a person were to lead the team, he naturally would not stay for this task.
