Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2456

Accompanying the sound, a faint green light flew out. It shielded Jaston, blocking Fade's flame at the very last moment.

Everyone's gazes turned onto the light green figure that had appeared.

Jaston, who was still on the ground in a state of shock, was panting heavily. His eyes were wide open, and surprise was written all over his face as he saw the figure in front of him. He shouted, "Mr. Lou, you're here! Hurry and save me! Fade wants to kill me. He wants to kill me!"

The other members of the Yuwen family immediately understood who it was after hearing Jaston's cry for help.

The man was none other than the captain of Poison Cloud Hall, which Jaston was in. He was Lucio Lou.

Instantly, Kael gathered his family members and rushed to Lucio's side.

Then, Alicia, who had been cheering for Fade, turned pale. She felt as though she just had a cold bucket of water dumped on her.

Fade, too, halted his attack. Something immediately came to his mind once Lucio appeared in front of him.

As Lucio had left the inner island, the fact that he had survived the heart of the tree could no longer stay a secret. Lucio would definitely ask about his situation. He would need to provide an answer. Swiftly, Fade decided that he could talk about whatever happened in the heart of the tree. However, in regards to the elixir core, his lips were sealed.

After all, it involved the state of a Lord Level. The people of the inner island could very well hatch their own crooked plans for it.

As he was in thought, right at the moment he made a decision.

Lucio looked at him with much surprise. "Fade, you're still alive? Weren't you swallowed by the heart of the tree?" Upon seeing the shock on Lucio's face, Fade himself was taken aback. He thought to himself, "Lucio isn't here for me?" He pondered how to answer that question.

Lucio's expression darkened. He pointed at Jaston and demanded stonily, "What's going on? Why did you attack Jaston?" When that was brought up, Fade said in a low voice, "He's the one who tried to murder me. Of course I'd come after him!" Lucio frowned and glanced at Jaston. His eyes glinted. "He tried to murder you? What kind of nonsense are you saying?"

Jaston quickly denied it. "Mr. Lou, I've never tried to murder him. It's all nonsense. He has something against me, so he wants to kill me. Mr. Lou, please save me!"

From the sidelines, Alicia could not bite her tongue any longer. She said, "Jaston, how shameless can you be? If Fade hadn't opened the passage, we would have died in there. Yet, you repaid him with evil and pushed him into the heart of the tree. You're still denying that now?"

"What rubbish are you spouting, Alicia?" Jaston's eyes flickered as he hurriedly denied the claim. "You and Fade were having an affair. Of course you'd stick up for him! You just want to slander me." "Jaston Yuwen, you're shameless!" She was beyond furious.

Fade's face grew stormy as he gathered positive energy in his palm. With the intent to kill, he pushed his palm forward, slapping in Jason's direction.

Jaston had never thought that Fade would dare to attack him even when Lucio was present. In shock, he blurted out, "Mr. Lou, save..."

Lucio was also confused. Be that as it was, he was still a Half- Lord expert who had comprehended 1500 streaks of martial essence. He was skillful enough to react quickly. Hence, he managed to call forth a burst of light green energy to block Fade's attack.

"Fade, Jaston is now a disciple under my Poison Cloud Hall. Are you showing your dissatisfaction towards my Hall by acting this way?" Lucio asked.

Fade said stonily, "I don't have any quarrel with Poison Cloud Hall. However, Jaston tried to murder me. Forthat, I must seek vengeance."

"That's not for sure yet. Your so-called 'vengeance,' might be fake, who knows. Plus, aren't you okay now?" Lucio questioned.

Upon hearing that, Fade laughed in exasperation. "So because I'm alright now, there's no need for payback?"

"Mr. Lou, would you be this compassionate to someone who tried to kill you?

"Or do you know something, so you're deliberately protecting someone on your side?" The final, icy question was abruptly sent through Fade's mental energy directly into Lucio's consciousness.

Lucio did not anticipate that Fade

was able to send thoughts telepathically. He was caught off guard. His train of thought was cut off after Fade's sudden question, and he discarded all thoughts for a moment.

Words that were once buried deep within his heart were then blurted out, "Jaston is my disciple! So what if I kill you?"

Upon hearing that, Fade's expression turned stony. Then, he looked at Lucio with an unrelenting gaze as cold as ice. "Mr. Lou, you've finally spoken from your heart!"

At that moment, Lucio snapped

back to his senses as he realized

what he had just said. His expression turned morose. He

gritted his teeth as he turned to look at Fade. "Fade Chen, what have you done to me?"

"Mr. Lou, answer my question first. Did you know that Jaston attempted to murder me, but still tried to protect him?" Fade asked.

Lucio's eyes glinted, and a strange look appeared on his face. He then snorted and growled, "You have no right to question me about what I do."

"Ah, it seems that you'll shield Jaston until the end!" Fade declared coldly.

"Jaston is my disciple. He's a member of Poison Cloud Hall. It's only natural for me to protect him!" Lucio exclaimed, in a high-and-mighty, righteous manner.

Fade gritted his teeth. He flew upwards, full of bloodlust. "Whoever stops me from killing Jaston Yuwen, is my enemy!"

"Enemy?" Met with Fade's murderous intention, energy surged from Lucio's body as he flew up as well. "You mean that you'll kill me too?"

"I'll kill whoever gets in my way!" Fade said chillingly, as his eyes locked on Lucio.

The current Fade had the skills of a Lord Level expert. A small fry of Poison Cloud Hall like Lucio aside, he wouldn't stand down to the main deacon, or even the chief of Poison Cloud Hall. Therefore, facing off with Lucio, Fade had no intention of backing down. On the contrary, the energy from his body grew stronger, as he sent it crashing down onto both Lucio and Jaston.

Jaston was completely at a loss

when he felt the frightening

pressure. He exclaimed, "Mr. Lou,

Fade is too full of himself. He even

belittled you! This is humiliation

towards you, towards the entire

Poison Cloud Hall! You must not let him go!"

The rest of the Yuwen family members spoke up as well, praying that Lucio would go on the attack and kill Fade right away.

From the Chung family, Alicia had turned pale, and was full of concern for Fade.

The other Chung family members, who had just felt remorse, breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at Fade with gloating expressions. "Arrogance is unseemly on a young man like that."

"It's one thing to be boastful on the outer island. However, acting this way in front of an inner island expert will only lead you to death." "He's gotten carried away by his arrogance. He's just courting death at this point!"
