Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2416
Although Fade was slightly worried about Jaston's matter, nothing unexpected happened for the rest of the day. The day of the opening of the inner island had arrived.
A few relevant personnel came to the hotel early in the morning and brought Fade and the others to a dock.
The group of friends stood at the dock and stared at the calm surface of the water in silence.
After a while, more people arrived. They came one after another, joining Fade and his group.
He noticed several familiar faces among these people.
They included Alicia, Jaston, and the Song family's disciples.
"It seems like the real martial arts family members are also taking part in the inner island's test!" He thought to himself.
Alicia noticed Fade too. Ignoring the judgemental gazes from her family members, she ran directly to him and greeted him with a smile, "Fade, you are here."
He nodded and replied, "Will your real martial arts family members take part in the inner island's test too?"
She nodded and said, "Yes. Many real martial arts family members hope to be selected by the inner island."
Then, she glanced at the Yuwen family and the Song family and said to him in a hushed voice, "The Song family has sent their strongest member among their family's younger generation this time. His name is Ludwig and he is quite powerful."
"You also have to be careful of Jaston from the Yuwen family," she added.
"Yes, I will," he replied.
Then, he asked, "What did your family say about your marriage?"
Her face sank, then she whispered, "I talked to the elders of my family yesterday, but other than my dad, everyone else persuaded me to marry Jaston."
"Uncle Rahmi said that if I refuse to marry Jaston, I will have to marry into the Beauties Hall. I have no other choice."
He looked at her and said solemnly, "What I said yesterday still counts."
"Thank you, Fade. I will continue to think of a way. Perhaps things will turn around eventually," she replied.
Meanwhile, Jaston saw Fade and Alicia talking intimately to each other from not far away. His eyes turned cold, and the strange look in his eyes intensified.
Beside him, Ludwig's eyes gleamed. He moved closer to Jaston and said, "Mr. Jaston, Ms. Alicia is your fiancee, isn't she? How could she interact so intimately with other men? I'm afraid it won't be good for your reputation if rumours about her begin to spread."
Upon hearing that, Jaston turned to look at Ludwig, his gaze ruthless and unceremonious. Then, he slapped him in his face.
Ludwig was taken aback. He stood there and covered his cheek, suddenly at a loss for words.
He was stunned for a while before he finally came back to his senses. Staring at Jason, he asked through gritted teeth, "What is this about, Mr. Jaston?"
Jaston glared at him and replied coldly, "You know exactly what this is about."
"Don't think that it's smart to sow discord among us. Fade messed up your family because you all are too weak and useless."
"Mr. Jaston, I'm not. I'm just..." Ludwig tried to defend himself.
Jaston let out a cold sneer and said, "I said, don't act smart in front of me. If you're honest, I might let you stab Fade when I kill him."
"Now, get out of here as far as you can."
Ludwig's face was flushed red, and he seemed embarrassed. He looked as if he
wanted to say something.
However, he kept quiet and silently retreated to the side when he thought about the Yuwen family's status and Jaston's reputation as a pervert.
Jaston and Ludwig's interactions
had alerted Alicia and Fade. They instinctively turned their heads over to look and saw Jaston leaving resentfully after being slapped in the face.
He looked up after slapping Ludwig, and his eyes met Fade's.
His gaze was cold, his eyes shooting daggers at him.
When the two men confronted each other, the person in charge suddenly spoke, "Everyone, be quiet. The masters of the inner island are coming."
The crowd became quiet in an instant. Everyone's gazes were fixed on the surface of the water in front of the dock.
A thin layer of mist slowly rose from the calm water surface.
Fog shrouded the surface of the water and obscured the scenery from afar. No one could see through the thick layer of fog.
Several black shadows suddenly appeared and drifted along with the mist.
The shadows passed through the mist and arrived in front of the crowd. Only then did everyone realize that these shadows were actually wooden boats.
A boatman stood on the stern of every boat, each moving the paddle in their hands steadily.
However, the wooden boats were approaching the dock at incredible speed, and all eight wooden boats landed at the dock in the blink of an eye.
A middle-aged man in linen armour,
with a long sword hanging on his waist, jumped onto the dock and talked to the person in charge. Then, he looked at the young people present and said, "Onto the boat!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the shore quickly boarded the boats in an orderly manner.
Soon, the eight boats were full. The man with the long sword returned to the boat and shouted some instructions. Then, the boatmen began to row.
Hence, the eight boats turned around and disappeared into the fog.
Fade and the others sat on the boat and stared at the white fog around them in puzzlement, numerous questions rising in their hearts.
However, at this moment, everyone remained quiet. They were wise enough to keep their mouths shut with the serious-looking man with the long sword standing in front of them.
After god-knows-how-long, the boats sailed through the thick fog and arrived at an unknown place.
Suddenly, Fade's heart skipped a beat as if he had just passed through something.
However, when he looked at the others around him, he realized that no one had a similar response.
When he was trying to figure out why he had such a feeling, the man with the long sword announced, "Everyone, stand up and get ready to disembark."
Everyone quickly stood up and looked ahead upon hearing the instructions.
Shortly after, the mist gradually dispersed, and a stone dock appeared in front of them. They could vaguely see several figures moving on the pier. "I'm really on the inner island!"
Many people couldn't help but feel emotional at the sight of the inner island, and their eyes were filled with yearning and excitement.
Soon, the boats arrived at the dock, and everyone disembarked.
The man with the long sword ordered everyone to line up, then led them forward without saying a word.
They walked along the dock and headed towards the inner island.
Everyone did not speak, but they kept looking around to observe the inner island's surroundings.
Initially, the dock and the trees around it seemed ordinary, but after walking for about 15 minutes, the crowd was surprised to see houses appearing in front of them.
The style of the houses was unique.
It was unlike any architectural style
of any time, any period, or any place on earth. Instead, they looked similar to the houses imagined in various works of art.
