Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2437

At the same time, Fade, Joey, and Alicia were busy collecting herbs in the field on the island. All three of them were completely oblivious as to what was happening outside. They finally finished picking all the herbs fifteen minutes later.

Looking around, Saimus had already left. The two heavily injured Jaston and Mina had retreated with their other team members.

"We have collected quite a harvest from this herb farm. I'm sure our final ranking will be pretty high," Alicia said with a laugh.

Fade nodded and replied, "If we push the ranking aside, we'll still be rich after selling these herbs."

Just as the three of them were about to leave the farm and find a safer place to hide...

Out of nowhere, a man's faint voice echoed out from behind them.

"Wait a minute!"

The sound was so sudden and so light that one would think that it was from a supernatural creature. The owner of the voice seemed to have appeared behind them from thin air. It was as if he was only inches away from them, whispering into their ear.

Their bodies trembled slightly from this. They turned around abruptly, and positive energy spilt out from their bodies almost immediately. They were all on defense mode and ready to fight. "Who is it?"

The three people quickly turned behind, only to spot a European man with gray hair and deep, sunken eyes standing before them.

"Balton!" Joey and Alicia instantly called out his name in shock.

This was because he'd been outperforming all the other members in the past few days of the test. He'd been ranked first on all sorts of lists and ranked first in all sorts of trials. He sat firmly in the first place, and that was how almost all the other members could recognize him.

The two of them were shocked. At this moment, Fade's expression darkened, and he looked solemnly at Balton.

The reason why he was not surprised by his appearance was that Fade noticed the way Balton had looked at him in the hotel lobby a day before their test.

Back then, they were yet to be acquainted.

Yet Fade could already sense Balton's hostility towards him through his gaze.

Hence, that was why he wasn't surprised to see him here.

Looking at Balton, he asked calmly, "Can I help you?"

Balton pointed at Fade and nodded, "You and me, we have something to talk about."

"Me?" Fade frowned.

Seeing how serious this entire thing was, Joey became nervous and quickly advised, "Fade, don't say yes."

Alicia glanced nervously yet angrily at Balton and questioned, "Do you also want a share of our herbs too?"

He shook his head and threw a bag onto the ground. He sneered and said with disdain, "I don't need herbs."

Looking at his big bag of herbs and materials, the three of them couldn't hide their surprise.

This was because the materials that Balton had gathered alone were equivalent or even more than what the three of them had. "What the hell do you want then?" Alicia frowned and looked at him.

Balton responded lightly, "Don't worry. I'm not here to fight for materials with you. I just want to have a private chat with Fade." After that, his eyes fell on him again.

Looking back at him, Fade asked the question that had been running through his mind, "Do you know me?"

Balton nodded and said, "Yes!"

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Bouvier was my uncle."

"Are you referring to the Dark Dominator, Bouvier? The one who was on top of the Dark List of the underground worlds?" Fade asked in astonishment.

Balton replied in a deep voice, "Yes! He's my uncle who treated me very well."

There was no need for more explanation. Fade now knew what this was all about.

Balton wanted to get revenge for Bouvier, so he came looking for him.

Thinking of this, Fade knew that this was inevitable.

He turned to Alicia and Joey, saying, "Take your belongings and stay away. Protect yourselves."

"Fade, you..." Joey looked at him with concern.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose."

The two girls nodded and scooted a few hundred meters away with their belongings.

Seeing this, Balton narrowed his eyes and said to Fade, "It seems that you're ready to fight. Let's get started then!"

Just as his words landed in the air, the positive energy immediately burst out from his body.

In an instant, a powerful energy surged up into the sky, making Fade feel oppressed.

However, Fade steadied himself and said, "Wait!"

"What? Are you afraid now?" Balton

snorted, then continued to taunt him. "If you're planning to refuse my challenge, I'll let you know that won't back down. Today, I'm going to kill you for my uncle."

Hearing this, Fade sneered. "Me, scared? Hah!"

"I just have one thing to make clear before the battle." "What's that?" Balton looked at him with a gloomy face.

Fade's tone turned serious. He looked at Balton and said, "Although I understand that you want to avenge your loved one, there's one thing that'll remain unchanged ho matter what the result is, and that

is

"I have no regrets killing Bouvier."

"Not only because he wanted to kill me, but also because he was a notorious villain in the underground world. Even if I don't hold a grudge against him, people like him deserve to die."

"Thus, if you want to avenge him today, you should be prepared to die."

Balton's face turned red with anger. He stared at Fade and said through gritted teeth, "Kill me? You're not even capable of it!"

"Is that so? That may not be true!" Fade said faintly.

"It's obvious. Let's get it over with!" Balton shouted and his imposing aura dispersed around the field.

A burst of strength erupted from Balton's body, stirring up a whirlwind that swept the surrounding trees and flowers into its eye.

In the sky, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and flames erupted.

"Go to hell!"

A thunder-like roar burst out.

Balton rushed towards Fade like a lightning bolt.

When he moved, the thunder and

lightning in the air also flashed simultaneously, erupting into shards of lightning and thunder. The thunder and lightning flashed

wnevel.

around Bolton and surged towards Fade.

Feeling the force of energy that was seconds away from him, Fade's expression was serious.

Balton was the strongest opponent whom he'd met ever since descending the mountain.

Even Bouvier, Steve, and the guardians of the Heaven Level clans were no match for an angry Balton.

However, his opponent's strength didn't scare him. Instead, it further aroused his spirit.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile. He said to himself, "Finally, I have met a worthy opponent. Is it time for me to let loose?"

"In that case, let's fight then!"

"Let's fight!"

With a furious shout, Fade made his move as well. A ball of red flames surged out from the sides of his body. A streak of red flowing light wrapped around him as he charged towards Balton.
