Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1765
Holding back his discomfort, Fade released his positive energy and wallowed into the blood pool to explore.
Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and his eyes fell upon the center of the pool.
After moving back a bit, he released a burst of energy, breaking a gap on the side of the tank.
At once, the fishy smell of thick blood gushed out, flowing everywhere, and slowly seeped into the soil, staining it red.
He stared at it intently. Finally, when there was only a thin layer of blood left, he found a palmsized plant in the middle.
Due to it being soaked in blood for such a long time, the plant's surface was dyed scarlet. However, even with that layer, he could still sense that the plant contained a dark, ominous aura.
He took a closer look at the appearance of the plant. It had long stripe-shaped leaves and a few little bell-like flowers.
"This, this is Blood- clotting Bell Herb!" He suddenly thought of the name.
That so-called Blood-clotting Bell Herb was a rare Heaven Level herbal medicine. It had good effects on the nourishment and stimulation of energy and blood.
However, the seed of the Blood-clotting Bell Herb was uncommonly rare to come by. Also, rumor had it that it was difficult for the plant to survive for long. It needed a lot of blood to nurture and catalyze it. Therefore, a Blood-Clotting Bell Herb that grew to this size was incredibly limited indeed.
Moreover, what made Fade even giddier with excitement was that the Blood-clotting Bell Herb also belonged to the coldest and most Yin type of plant. It had quite a good neutralizing effect on the 'The Kong Fu of Jiu Yang' that he was cultivating.
It was the same as the Ice Lotus, Nine Leaf Ice Flower, and Frost Plum Blossom Fruit that he had collected before.
At this thought, he bent down and carefully inserted his fingers into the ground on both sides of the plant roots, digging out the Blood-clotting Bell Herb.
After digging it out, he released a ball of energy, wiping away the blood stains on the plant's surface and restoring the original appearance of the plant. Looking at it thoroughly, he realized that its quality was top-notch, which made him even more exhilarated.
After keeping the Blood-clotting Bell Herb properly, he continued to explore the basement, but he did not find anything valuable.
However, when he just came out of the basement, Jacques had found something.
He handed Fade a piece of rag. The rag looked very ordinary, like any other piece of discarded cloth. However, the symbol printed on the rag made his heart skip a beat.
That was because the symbol was in the shape of a skull, and between the eyebrows of the skull, there was a small tender bud.
That symbol was the symbol of the Skull Mob whom he had come into contact with before.
Since Fade entered Capital City and subdued White Claw and Skull Mob's branch there, they had stopped seeking trouble with him. He had also almost forgotten about them.
However, at the moment he saw the symbol, his heart could not help give a small jolt, and he became alert.
There was only the symbol on the rag, nothing else. Fade asked again, but there was nothing more that Jacques found.
Soon afterwards, Fade was ready to leave.
However, just as he was about to leave, Jacques thought of something and stopped him. "Mr. Chen, the authorities will definitely investigate this operation. When that happens, I'm afraid I can only report what happened on the spot truthfully."
Fade knew that he was referring to Daemyn's death. He paused for a second, before saying, "It's okay. Just tell them the truth. If someone wants to cause trouble for me, let him come at me." He was undaunted and unfazed. He did not take Daemyn's threat seriously at all.
Jacques nodded. He then nodded once again, solemnly. With a voice thick with emotions, he said in a sincere tone, "Mr. Chen, last but not least, on behalf of myself and my brothers, I want to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out just now."
"It's nothing." Fade waved his hand, then turned around and left with Shinnie.
When they returned to the city, Jenski, Evelyn, Sabean, and Ysabelle also went with them.
However, after experiencing that kind of thing that scared their pants off, Evelyn and the others could not bear staying any longer. They bought the earliest flight ticket and flew back to East Coast right away. On the other hand, Jenski and Keeton did not rush to leave. They stayed and went to Fade to thank him sincerely.
Looking at Jenski who bowed to him in gratitude, Fade pondered a little. To be honest, he had a good impression of the man. He didn't have the haughtiness and idiocy of Evelyn, nor was he arrogant or attention-seeking like Daemyn.
However, Jenski's insistence on going to Twindragon Village had put both him and his companions in danger. It was something unforgivable that he couldn't explain. Seeing that Fade was silent, Jenski apologized, "Mr. Chen, it's my fault for what happened this time. I apologize to you and Shinnie once again, as long as..."
He couldn't finish his sentence as Fade waved his hand and interrupted him. He asked, "You insist on going to Twin-dragon Village. It was not to travel, was it?"
Hearing that, Jenski was taken aback. He was speechless for a moment, while his facial expressions kept changing.
Fade saw this and said flatly, "I'm just asking. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."
Jenski shook his head and said to Fade, "Actually, it's not a secret. If you have the time, Mr. Chen, I can tell you."
"Please!" Fade nodded and looked at him.
Jenski's face darkened as he spoke slowly, "It all started ten years ago. At that time, I..."
It was not that complicated. 10 years ago, Jenski's father, Eastin Geng, was originally the young master of the Geng family. He was the favored one; modest, intelligent, and also popular. He was known as the successor of the Geng family. However, out of the blue, his temperament changed greatly.
Everyday, he would mutter to himself in a strange way. He would often go out alone, and no one had any idea where he went. He stopped attending to the family's business, as well as family matters. It was like he became a different person altogether.
At that time, the Old Master of the Geng family, Thamar Geng, even held a family meeting to discuss Eastin, and at the same time, advised him to turn over a new leaf.
Eastin promised, but after a few days, he went back to how he was before. He went out day and night, appearing and disappearing mysteriously without informing anyone. In the end, he would not even go home for half a month.
Under such circumstances, Thamar had no choice but to give up on Eastin and treated him as a collateral relative. Instead, he promoted other younger generations of the family to be in charge of the Geng family's business.
Eastin, who was now not being paid great attention to, acted even more unscrupulously without Thamar's constraint.
Jenski, who was still a teen at that time, and his mother, tried to persuade Eastin many times, but he refused to listen. Instead, he became more aggravated. He even started abusing his own wife and son. Jenski and his mother could only move out and they left Eastin alone in the house. Such a situation lasted for more than a year, until one year later, Jenski and his mother went home to visit.
