Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2320

Upon hearing this, the entire crowd was taken aback before a heated discussion erupted.

"Did Fade really comprehend that much martial essence?"

"Could it be true that he comprehended more than half of all that martial essence?"

"There were more than 100 streaks of martial essence coming from the second and third level. If he comprehended more than half of that, that means he comprehended about 60 to 70 streaks!" Algot was also surprised, but he calmed down soon after.

He glanced at Yura and sighed, before saying, "I didn't know that Fade was on such good terms with Lindsay Hall for Yura to actually come to his defense."

As soon as he finished his words, everyone was stunned for a moment. However, they soon understood what he was implying.

What he meant was that Yura was purposely lying to protect Fade's pride.

With this in mind, many people on the scene immediately nodded their heads and accepted this explanation readily.

Upon seeing this, Halston was both annoyed and furious so he glared at Algot.

Yura frowned as well before opening her mouth to explain herself.

Fade, on the other hand, appeared very calm.

"Whatever they wish to think is entirely up to them. We have nothing to do with it."

"Let's just get on with our own exploration."

Fade then went to the pillar to put his palm onto it. He prepared to break the restriction so that he could go onto the fourth level.

At this, the crowd was taken aback once more. They began pointing fingers at him, their taunting growing louder and crueler.

After all, in the face of Algot's doubts, Fade had not explained anything. Instead, he began to break the restriction without a word. In their eyes, this was seen as an act out of a guilty conscience.

Algot stood among the crowd, his gaze shifting. This was followed by him sharing a look with Baxter, who was standing next to him.

He then immediately walked over to Fade's side, before he too put his palm on the pillar. He started circulating positive energy and began breaking the restriction.

Upon seeing the situation, the crowd grew rowdy.

"Algot wants to break the restriction too. He even stood next to Fade purposely. Are they going to make it a competition?"

"Competition? There's no need for that at all. Algot will definitely win!"

"That may not be the case as the restriction on this level isn't as simple."

"No matter how difficult it is, that guy isn't Algot's match at all."

Upon hearing the comments from the crowd, a proud smile dawned on Algol's face. He glanced at Fade and smirked smugly at him.

Fade ignored him and continued to concentrate on breaking the restriction.

However, after only a short while, Algol rolled his eyes before his right palm that was pressed against the pillar shifted slightly.

It was a small movement and it was difficult to notice unless one was watching him closely.

However, Fade, who was standing right next to Algol, immediately noticed the act.

That was because Algol's small action was to allow his body's positive energy to leak out. Besides, the energy was headed directly towards where Fade's palm was on the pillar. Fade's breaking of the restriction was instantly interrupted, and he had no choice but to stop his action.

He looked at Algol with cold eyes and asked sternly, "What are you trying to do?"

At this moment, Algol had an innocent look on his face. He widened his eyes as he looked at Fade to ask, "What do you mean by that?"

Fade said in a low voice, "You clearly know what I mean! If you're trying to pick a fight with me, just do it openly. Don't go making all those small movements."

Algot frowned before his face darkened. He said coldly, "Are you crazy? I didn't even touch you. Do you think I'm trying petty tricks on you? Are you trying to frame me?"

At the side, Baxter had stood up at some point. There was a kind smile on his chubby face and when he spoke, he tried to smooth things over.

"We are all companions here. There's no need to break the peace."

Algot said, "Baxter, I don't want to break the peace, but if someone wants to provoke me, you can't blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing Algot's words, Baxter

directed a look of shock at Fade.

"Mr. Chen, breaking the restriction is something that everyone can handle on their own. There's no need to be so hung up on minor things like who was first or last, why are you being SO competitive?"

The words sounded as if they were used for stopping a fight.

However, when thought about deeply, Baxter was actually implying that Fade was worried that he might lose to Algot in breaking the restriction. Therefore, he was slandering Algot as a distraction.

ver

As such, the crowd started chattering amongst themselves as they began to point fingers at Fade.

"That Fade guy is such a sore loser!"

"If you can't afford to lose, then don't get involved. Move aside."

"Algot sure has a good temper, he even tried to reason with him. If I were in his shoes, I would've acted already."

"With Baxter as the peacemaker, Algot has to save his dignity of course."

In the face of these suspicions and discussions, Fade did not pay any heed or take them to heart.

On the contrary, his attention fell onto Algot and Baxter.

Fade stared at the both of them with cold and sharp eyes.

If Algot was deliberately finding fault with him to embarrass him, Fade could understand. However, Baxter had suddenly stepped in to secretly help Algot deal with him, which made him suspicious. After all, he was acquainted with Kelsey and Mullen of Juetong Temple and while they were not close, he had no hatred towards them.

As for Juetong Temple's Kelton, Fade had even less conflict with him. When compared with his relationship with Wagner and Shamos, his relationship with Kelton was much better. However, since Baxter, who was not involved with him in any way, had suddenly intruded, Fade had no choice but to be suspicious.

Once these thoughts occurred to

him, Fade narrowed his eyes. He looked at Algot and Baxter before saying coldly, "I don't care what the both of you are planning, but I have to remind you that if you want to deal with me, you'll have to handle the consequences."

After that, he snorted and began to break the restriction again.

Algot and Baxter shared a look. They seemed to be hesitating about whether or not they should make another move against Fade.

However, after some thinking, they shook their heads and decided against it.

Algot chose another spot on the pillar and started breaking the restriction again.

The crowd watching everything unfold had no idea what was truly going on.

In their eyes, they only found that Fade had reacted excessively to Baxter, who was merely stepping out to mediate the quarrel out of kindness.

In an instant, their comments towards him grew even harsher.

However, Fade paid no mind to what they were saying.

Less than ten minutes later, an arched gate appeared on the pillar with a flash of light.

The restriction was broken.

"The restriction has been broken. Isn't that too soon?"

"Who did it? Algot?"

"As expected of Algot, he's so strong."

"No, it wasn't him. It wasn't Algot. It's coming from Fade's position."

"What? He actually did it, how could that be?"

While the crowd expressed their shock, Fade walked through the arched door with Yura and Halston in tow before the trio soon disappeared.
