Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2447

Lucio chuckled, glanced at Alicia, and then said to Nestor, "Mr. Moo, you'd better teach your members better. Don't let her spout any more nonsense."

"I'm generous enough and I understand how she's feeling, so I won't pursue this matter further. However, if this spreads to the other Martial Halls, I'm afraid my temper won't be so good then. When that happens, death may very well be the answer, as it's one of the many solutions."

There was a hint of threat in his arrogant words. After speaking, Lucio coldly snorted and immediately took Jaston away, leaving everyone else behind.

Upon seeing this, the other captains also immediately started to leave with their members as well.

In the end, only Alicia and Nestor were left behind.

Nestor let out a long sigh and said to her, "Let's go!"

"But Fade, he..." Her eyes were filled with tears.

He said, "I'm afraid there's no hope for him. The horror of the tree's heart is not something you can imagine. Even our chief does not have the courage to speak of his survival. I'm afraid there's no more hope." Alicia started sobbing.

Nestor waved his hands, took her with him, and began to descend, "Let's go. With the appearance of the heart of the tree, it won't be safe if we continue to stay here. We have to leave immediately."

The group of people returned to the ground. Due to the unexpected appearance of the tree's heart, the mission of exploring the Prohibition Tree had come to an end. The assessments of the inner island were finally over.

For the ones who had been chosen by the Martial Halls, they would be joining the Halls of their choice. As for the remaining ones who weren't chosen, they would have to leave the inner island immediately and go their separate ways.

Alicia, who had been waiting for Fade's choice before, was planning to join the same Hall as him, but now, with him gone, she had no one to trust.

Nestor had tried to persuade her to join his Green Wood Hall and stay, but after some consideration, she chose to give up and willingly left the inner island.

The reasons for her renunciation was because one, Fade had no choice; and two, after what had happened, her impression towards the Martial Halls of the inner island had changed a little.

Lucio's cold and threatening demeanor, Pierzy's unconcerned attitude, and Nestor's frustrated sighs made her realize that the inner island was not a pure martial arts ground. On the contrary, it was filled with controversial and vile happenings.

If she had joined, she was afraid that she'd get caught up with these incidents. This was not what she wanted, so in the end, she chose to leave.

Although it was a pity, Nestor still sent her away.

She left the inner island with Joey, who was even more heartbroken than her, as well as Halston and Kaegan, who had come with Fade. They all returned to the outer island.

With the return of Alicia and the others, news of what happened on the inner island began to spread throughout the outer island.

Fade Chen, a name that everyone was familiar with, had caused a wave of discussion.

When the people on the outer island heard about his experience on the inner island, they were all very emotional. Their hearts were extremely complicated and they were unable to express their feelings. Of course, some families felt extremely happy with the news.

Within the Song family, Ludwig was not chosen to enter any Martial Halls, so he returned in frustration.

However, the news of Fade falling into the forbidden area of the inner island and passing on had come through. The Song family was ecstatic beyond compare, as they celebrated the death of an enemy. Many of the Song family disciples even spoke with much pride, where they said if it wasn't for Fade's early death, they would have taught the boy a lesson and sought revenge for their fallen comrades. If the Song family was this ecstatic, needless to say, the Yuwen family was also extremely happy.

For them, the news of Fade's death was like news brought from heaven.

The first good news was naturally about Jaston getting chosen into the Poison Cloud Hall and successfully joining the Martial Halls.

The second one on the other hand, was about the death of their enemy, Fade.

However, in contrast to the joy of the Song family and the excitement of the Yuwen family, the atmosphere of the Chung family was somewhat gloomy.

Not only was their beacon of high hopes, Alicia, not chosen by any of the Martial Halls, but she even offended a bunch of people from the Beauties Hall.

And as for Fade, whom the Chung family wanted to win over, he was apparently dead in the restricted area of the inner island.

If things were to go on like this, in another few decades, the Yuwen family would most likely grow stronger than the Chung family, thereby becoming the number one family among the real martial arts families on the outer island.

The Chung family was already buried in crisis.

The old master of the Chung family, Saxen, sat on the main seat in the hall and looked at Alicia, who was seated below, and said, "You are saying that you rejected the offer of Green Wood Hall?"

Alicia nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"Foolish, extremely foolish!" Saxen shouted in fury.

"Alicia, you're usually quite clever. Why are you so foolish in such a crucial moment!" Her uncle, Rahmi, spoke with a face full of disappointment.

Her aunt, Rochelle, said unrestrainedly, "Some people are just not skilled enough. Even after so much support given by the family, this is the outcome." "Alicia, tell me, why did you reject the offer of Green Wood Hall?" Saxen suppressed his anger and asked.

She remained solemn and just gave a simple answer, "I didn't want to."

"You..." Saxen's face became flushed with anger.

On the side, Jarvis and Howell immediately stepped forward and supported him.

Afterward, Howell coldly snorted as he looked at her and said, "Alicia, the reason behind you not entering Green Wood Hall is because of Fade, right?"

"I heard that you made a promise with him to choose the same Martial Hall when you were on the inner island. Now that he's dead, you chose to return."

She glanced at him and said, "My choice has nothing to do with this."

"Is it so?" Jarvis also spoke, "Ever since you went to Capital City last time, you have been mentioning Fade's name and even wanted our Chung family to take Fade in as our

guardian."

"If Dad hadn't made a wise decision to reject your suggestion, I'm afraid our Chung family would have been implicated!" Jarvis said sharply.

She didn't respond and remained expressionless.

Upon seeing this, Saxen sighed, waved his hands, and said to Richardus, "Take her away and don't let her leave for the time being."

"Yes, Dad!" Richardus nodded his head and took his daughter away.

At this moment, on the inner island, after seeing off all the members.

The captains of the sixteen Martial Halls gathered again.

"1 had never expected this incident to happen!"

"It is already rare to have seen the heart of the tree, and now, with the news of Fade being swallowed by the heart of the tree, this is certainly a once in a blue moon occasion!" "With this incident, should we report it to our chiefs?"

"I don't think it's necessary; there's a chief who is now in secluded cultivation. It's not right to bother him."

"But it's about the heart of the tree. This is definitely something the chiefs would be concerned about!"

"But now, there was not even a single trace left after our multiple searches!"

In the midst of all the discussion, Nestor said, "Is it possible to survive after being swallowed up by the tree's heart?"

"Mr. Moo, I know it's a pity for Fade, but we are now talking about the heart of the tree.

Not to mention a student, even a deacon like you and me would not be able to withstand the immense power of the tree's heart!"

"Exactly. That's something that even the chiefs can't guarantee too, so how could a boy that is not even 30, survive the incident?"

"Mr. Moo, let's be realistic. We need to solve the problem before us now!"

Upon hearing this, Nestor let out a long sigh and didn't say another word.
