Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 1870

Marilyn's expression changed weirdly as her eyes flickered.

"I'll kill you if you don't talk!" The energy surged in Fade's palm as he spoke.

At that moment, the terrified villagers gathered around and gave her a perplexed look.

Some of the villagers were furious and wanted to tear her apart. Some of them found the truth hard to accept. Of course, there were some stubborn villagers who were still demanding for Fade to let her go.

When being questioned by the villagers, he glared at them and shouted coldly. "To those of you who are still stubborn, go down the tomb and take a look for yourselves," he said.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the noisy villagers changed and they quickly backed away. They dared not come close.

Fade then glared at Marilyn and spoke coldly, "This is your last chance. Talk!"

She sighed and admitted, "It was Goddess Lunar who made me do it." "You're still talking nonsense!" He shouted. He was about to strike down with his energy-filled palm.

As soon as she saw this, she quickly shouted, "I'm not lying. It really was Goddess Lunar who gave the instructions. I've seen her!"

"What the hell is going on?" He frowned and shouted coldly.

She quickly spoke, "It was two months ago when business was bad and I didn't have enough to live on. A woman then appeared and led someone to me. She told me that she had a business proposition."

"I was obviously happy and started negotiating with them. That was when I knew that their business was to make a temple and show miracles with the intention of scamming the villagers to bring their sacrifices."

"I'm very clear about the tricks in these matters. It has been like this ever since ten years ago. It's just that there are fewer believers and it wasn't so easy to make others believe. Therefore, I proposed using more equipment and specially prepared some tricks so as to make it more realistic."

"However, they said there was no need. They had their own methods to make others believe. We then took care of the matters of the temple together. By curing a few sick people and with our promotions, it became viral. Soon after that, it amounted to this situation," she concluded.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the villagers changed and they grew cold.

Fade frowned and asked icily, "What's with the tomb? Why do you want to prevent the excavation? If the motive of Goddess Lunar was to rake in money, it's already enough to continue operating on the temple Why look for more trouble?"

Marilyn replied and said, "For this, I don't know the reason either. I'm only following orders. A while back, the archeology team came and started their excavation."

"Goddess Lunar then instructed me to stop the miracles and manifestations to push the blame onto the excavation. I would then lead the villagers to stop the excavation. I'm still clueless as to the actual reason," she answered.

"Really?" Fade glared at her and asked.

She continuously kowtowed and repeated herself, "I really don't know. It's the truth."

He pondered over it for a second when he saw this. He then waved his hand and spoke coldly, "Scram!"

She suddenly felt as if she'd been granted mercy.

She quickly left as fast as she could.

When the villagers saw this, they started to leave as well.

Soon, the once- bustling scene was quiet once more. Only Fade and the excavation team were left.

As he looked and pondered at the tomb, Yankee walked over with concern. "Brother Chen, are you alright?"

He shook his head and replied, "I'm fine!"

Hallim also came over and curiously looked at Fade. "Mr. Chen, why did you let Marilyn go? She's a scammer and we should've called the police," he said.

Fade replied and said, "She is backed by a martial artist and not a weak one from the tricks she showed. She is at least at the late stage of the Earth Level. Ordinary policemen can't go against such martial artists. They will only be killed."

"Ah, they're so powerful. What are we going to do? Do we have to leave?" Hallim asked as he was frightened by this.

Fade narrowed his eyes and said, "No, they won't be back for sure."

"Mr. Chen, you..." Hallim looked at him in surprise and confusion.

Fade looked at the tomb and spoke in a deep voice, "I let Marilyn leave so that she can send the news to allow Goddess Lunar to rush over."

"This..." Yankee and Hallim were both surprised.

He didn't explain. Instead, Hassad spoke and said, "If I'm correct, Fade thinks that Goddess Lunar's real motive isn't to cheat others but was directed to something in the tomb." Upon hearing this, Fade nodded in agreement. "Hassad's right. That's exactly what I was thinking."

"You're not a martial artist so you're not familiar with the abilities of a martial artist. A martial artist at the late stage of the Earth Level is definitely the top dog of a small city. They even have a place in a big city such as Capital City. It doesn't matter if they own a gym, work as a bodyguard or even join some corporations, it will earn them a hefty sum. It's easy to get ten million yuan a year."

"However, this Goddess Lunar worked so hard on this scam in such a poor village. She worked on it for more than a month and all she'll get is a few million yuan at most. I feel that it's illogical to put in so much effort just to earn a few million yuan."

"The other party even tried to stop the excavation. I sense that their motive is definitely inside the tomb," he concluded.

Upon hearing this, Hassad, Yankee and Hallim nodded in agreement as they looked over at the tomb.

As they looked at the dark entrance, they suddenly remembered the terrifying decaying corpse that came out from the tomb. Their expressions and tone instantly changed as they said, "Brother Chen, that thing from the tomb..."

"Mr. Chen, what is that exactly? How could it..." Hallim was still afraid and said.

Fade looked at them and explained, "It's an ordinary corpse. It was just injected with Evil Qi, resulting in some changes. This is all related to martial arts and it isn't so easy to explain."

He looked at Hassad and said, "Hassad, I have to go down into the tomb."

"It's too dangerous, Brother Chen. If you meet..." Yankee was agitated as she spoke.

He shook his head and said, "Don't worry Yankee. There's no danger beyond my level of ability."

Hassad was momentarily silent before he nodded. "Fade, please be careful. Retreat immediately if you encounter danger. Don't push yourself," he persuaded him.

"I understand, Hassad!" Fade nodded and made some preparations. He then gave Hassad and the rest some protective rune papers before entering the tomb once more.
