Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1778

"No, I didn't. I just..." Thamar was obviously terrified of the man, so he hurriedly explained.

However, the dark shadow just chuckled mysteriously, "You don't need to explain anything to me. I just wanted to tell you that if your grandson continues to investigate the matter, he will follow in your son's footsteps. Don't blame me for being ruthless when it reaches that point."

"No, it won't happen. Jenski won't investigate any further. I'll make him stop," Thamar replied at once.

When the dark shadow heard that, he laughed, "That better be the case. This will be my last warning towards the Geng family. If there is a next time, I won't show any mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thamar felt a gust of cold wind, and then the dark shadow disappeared into thin air.

However, he just stood where he was in a daze, without moving a muscle until ten minutes had passed before he collapsed to the floor. Tears streamed down his wrinkled face, and it looked as if he had aged overnight.

After Fade returned from the visit to the Geng family, he stayed in the hotel for a day. The next day, Ernest sent him a message, asking him if he had time to spare and invited him to the East Coast business reception.

Fade knew that Ernest was still trying to find a solution to their new company's problem, so he didn't refuse and agreed to the invitation to attend the business reception with him.

The time of the reception was set for the evening. He specially changed into a suit and walked into the hotel with Ernest.

The hotel was crowded with people, and most of East Coast's business magnates were present. Groups of people were seen chatting with each other and it was quite a lively scene. However, the excitement and liveliness had nothing to do with them.

Although Ernest had been in East Coast for some time and he had tried his best to acquaint himself with some of the local businessmen, he didn't have many connections with the place and the people.

In addition, the conflict between him and the Qin family had gradually begun to spread throughout the city and a few businessmen that had a good relationship with him also started to have a change in attitude. Those who were still sentimental shared a few words with Ernest, but the rest didn't even acknowledge him, and they acted as if they were strangers.

Due to these circumstances, the atmosphere around the two of them was especially cold and deserted.

It was not until Jenski arrived that the situation took a turn for the better. He didn't care about all these things and brought some wine over to drink a toast to the two of them. His actions caught the attention of some of the other guests, and they couldn't help but inquire about the relationship between the two of them and the Geng family.

Suddenly, the bustling scene quietened down, and everyone looked in the same direction.

Fade and the others couldn't help but look over too, and they noticed that a few young men and women were walking over.

At the sight of those people, Fade's pupils constricted, and he narrowed his eyes.

That was because there were a few familiar faces in the group of people walking over.

Evelyn, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and Hiro, the second young master of the Geng family.

At that moment, other than the two of them, there was also a man of about twenty four or five beside Evelyn. Through Jenski's introduction, he knew that the man was Evelyn's cousin, Houston, who was the young master of the Qin family.

Houston had his arms around a young woman wearing a revealing outfit, and she was surprisingly a familiar face to Fade as well. She was Anatasia.

On the other hand, there was also a fierce-looking man who seemed to be in his thirties wearing a robe beside them. From what Jenski told him, Fade knew that the man was the cousin of the President of the Martial Arts Society, Gellert, whom he taught a lesson to a few days ago outside East Coast University. He was Eckhart Zuo, the last disciple of Master Tuan.

It was clear that those few people had outstanding statuses. It wasn't a wonder that their appearance caught everyone's attention.

However, they were not the most attentiongrabbing figures. The one that stood out was a man who walked in the middle. He was a man about twenty six or twenty seven years old, with a smile on his face. The man didn't dress fashionably as how usual rich playboys would, but instead, he wore a plain shirt with a pair of leather boots and had neat short hair. He was well built and walked with an aura around him, letting out a different pressure to others.

As Jenski saw that the man had captured Fade's attention, he immediately introduced the man to Fade.

"That's Yaakov, the young master of the Hsiang family, and Daemyn's older brother. Yaakov served in the army and retired after three years, but he performed very well. I heard that he gained a third-class meri and is quite profound in martial arts as well."

"Initially, Daemyn was supposed to walk the same path as Yaakov and establish merits in the army before retiring, but..." Jenski didn't continue, but Fade got the gist. Apparently, what he meant was that Yaakov would be Fade's greatest threat. As Fade was looking at Yaakov, the latter turned to look at him at the same time.

"Hiro, isn't that your cousin! Who's the person with him?" Yaakov asked.

Before Hiro could speak, Evelyn sneered and spoke first, "That's Fade Chen. We were acquainted while at Dragonville." "Fade Chen. Dragonville. As in the Fade, who killed my younger brother Daemyn?" Yaakov asked in a deep voice.

"That's him." Evelyn nodded before she added, "That guy's very arrogant. He accompanied someone to discuss a collaboration with the Qin family a few days ago, but he was so proud that the collaboration didn't work out, and he left both parties upset."

Hearing this, Hiro continued, "He really is very arrogant. He looked down on everyone when he visited my home the day before yesterday. He even said that he didn't care about business dealings with the Qin family.

"What an impertinent guy," Houston sneered and curled his lips as he heard this.

Eckhart listened for a while before speaking up, "I have an impression of this guy."

"What? Has he even offended you, Eckhart?" Yaakov asked.

He shook his head with disdain, "He isn't qualified to offend me."

"It's a cousin of mine. It was a few days ago at the East Coast University when he got into a conflict with that guy over a woman and was beaten up by him."

When he said this, Anatasia didn't dare utter a sound as she was worried that Eckhart would know that the woman he was referring to was herself.

When Hiro heard all this, he couldn't help speaking up, "That b*stard doesn't know what's good for him. He has just arrived in East Coast City and has already offended the Hsiang family, Qin family and Eckhart. He's really courting death."

"Your Ceng family seems to have a good relationship with him. Jenski seems to be quite close to him?" Yaakov looked at Hiro.

Hiro hurriedly explained, "Yaakov, don't misunderstand. We of the Ceng family aren't on good terms with this fellow. It's Jenski who approached that fellow of his own accord. My grandfather even flew into a rage over this matter a few days ago when he visited my home!"

"I see! Since the Ceng family has nothing to do with him, let's go meet him," Yaakov said.

"Let's go and see what he's got!" The rest of the bunch agreed, and they walked over in Fade's direction together.
