Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2459
The look on Fade's face changed slightly when he was faced with that gentle woman.
The name Lamella made him recall the stone that Jaguar had given him.
Plus, although she looked incomparably kind, her casual attitude towards the killing of a person caused him to be more apprehensive than he was with Abelard.
Both vigilant and nervous, he nodded and said, "I'm Fade. Many thanks for your help. Madam Camelia."
"No problem, it was just a small matter." She waved her hand with a nonchalant expression.
Then, she pointed at the other figures and explained to Fade, "We are all main deacons of the Martial Halls. We are here under the chiefs' command. Our purpose is to investigate the incident that occurred in the heart of the tree."
"You're the last one to come into contact with it. The chiefs have many questions for you. Can you return to the inner island with us?"
More than 10 main deacons had come after him; they had been ordered to by the chiefs.
Fade was slightly taken aback. It appeared that he had underestimated the consequences of the upheaval at the tree. He had not anticipated that he would have shaken up the Sixteen Inner Halls of the inner island.
Since it was that way, he became more cautious. He had even more reason to ensure that the matter of the elixir core did not get out. If it did, who knew what would happen next.
Of course, directly resisting the chiefs was not something he would do. There was no need forthat.
At that point, he nodded and acquiesced. "I'm willing to go back to the inner island and cooperate with the investigation..."
From beside them, Abelard was somewhat vexed. Coldly, he barked, "Since you're willing, hurry up and move. Stop dawdling."
Fade did not respond. Jaston had been killed; he had no need to kill Abelard too.
He glanced at Camelia and nodded, conveying that he would return with them.
"Let's go then!" She nodded too. She waved her hand and brought Fade to her side.
They turned around and headed in the direction of the inner island.
In an instant, thunder once again rumbled in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning, as the sky turned dark once more.
Below them, the people of the outer island shook in terror as they witnessed the scene.
Alicia was looking excited again. "I told you guys, Fade would definitely win. He did it! Moreover, all the main deacons hold him in high regard."
Upon hearing that, the other Chung family members looked somber.
After all, they had never thought highly of Fade. They even blamed him for causing a feud between the Chung family and the
Yuwen family.
Then, all of a sudden, he had given them a slap in the face. They were unable to accept it.
Jarvis mumbled sourly, "What do you mean, high regard? They only have a few questions for him. If he doesn't satisfy them, they'll definitely kill him then. It'll be as easy as pointing a finger."
"That brat is too arrogant. He actually dared to attack Mr. Abelard just now. Who knows how he'll die in the future," Howell muttered as well.
Although Saxen, Rahmi, Rochelle, and the others didn't say anything, they still nodded. That alone was enough to make their stance clear. Opposite them was the Yuwen family. Kael and his family stared at the figures in the sky, looking upset and grim.
He, in particular, was looking at Fade's back with eyes brimming with hatred.
After all, from his perspective, Fade had not only killed a genius disciple of the Yuwen family but even four of the elders. The power of the Yuwen family had decreased drastically.
From that moment on, the status of the Yuwen family on the outer island might continue to nosedive. At the end of it all, they may not even be able to hold onto the status of a second-generation genuine martia arts family.
With that in mind, Kael's hatred towards him burned stronger. As he glared at his silhouette in the sky, he gritted his teeth and said under his breath, "Fade Chen, the Yuwen family will definitely kill you." From mid-air, Fade who had been intending to leave without further ado, caught what Kael said. After all, his keen senses had sharpened as his skills improved.
Immediately, his expression looked thunderous. He turned to look at Kael, shooting him a glare filled with the intention to kill.
He didn't care too much about Kael's threat to him personally.
Now that he had become a Lord Level expert, the Yuwen family would not be able to kill him.
However, Fade had friends and relatives, as well as countless friends by his side. If the Yuwen family were to attack those people, he would be troubled too. With that in mind, Fade's heart was gripped by a murderous chill.
He debated whether to ask the main deacons to wait a moment so he could descend and deal the killing blow.
Right at that moment, Camelia, from beside him, suddenly shot a streak of energy down.
Instantly, a ray of lightning struck downwards. With a bang, it hit Kael directly.
His body stiffened and fell to the ground. The man would never breathe again.
Then, Lamella's voice rang out.
"Fade is someone whom the people
of the inner island respect
immensely. Whoever provokes him is picking a fight with the whole inner island. This will be the
consequence!"
The warning came like a clap of thunder, shaking everyone of the outer islands to the core.
She looked at the surprised Fade and said in a lukewarm manner, "I've handled the Yuwen family for you. You don't have to worry about them any longer."
He was silent for a moment, taken aback. After he snapped out of his daze, he said, "Thankyou, Madam Lamella."
"You don't have to be this courteous with me!" She smiled and gestured vaguely with her hand in the air. It was as though she did not care at all about what happened to Kael. Abelard, who was at the head of the group, looked dissatisfied. He interjected, "Camelia, you killed someone just like that for him? That's too much!"
"He's just the head of a family of the
outer island. So what if he dies? Why
are you so ruffled about it, Mr.
Abelard? Perhaps the Yuwen family and you are affiliated?" She
questioned instead of answering.
"Don't slander me," he growled. "I'll report everything that happened here to the chiefs once we get back."
"As you wish!" She showed no signs of worry at all.
Fade glanced at her. His heart was suddenly filled with doubt.
Logically speaking, she had helped him, so he should thank her. However, the temperament she showed chilled him to the core again.
Her attitude was one of
condescending arrogance and contempt. With just a lift of her hand, she could kill the head of the Yuwenfamily, who was in charge of the outside world. She didn't even think of it as a big deal.
How would she treat someone from the secular world? He made a mental note to keep his guard up.
In the sky, amidst the rumbling thunder, the main deacons and Fade flew away. They soon disappeared out of sight.
The sky once again turned clear; the outer island returned to being calm.
However, the people of the outer island were currently silent. They dared not do anything else.
The Chung family members, who had been bad- mouthing Fade before that, had their heads hung low. They were all too afraid to say a single word more.
After all, Kael could be killed just like that, meaning they could be too.
It was then that the Chung family finally discarded their hatred towards Fade and realized how terrifying he was.
Contemporaneously, a sense of regret welled up in their hearts.
Why hadn't the Chung family grasped the opportunity to form good relations with him?
Why hadn't they allowed him to become one of the guardians of the Chung family?
Why had they not listened to Alicia?
While the Chung family was wallowing in regret, the Yuwen family and the others were stricken by fear.
Looking at Kael, who had just died a miserable death, none of the remaining Yuwen family members dared to make another sound, nor show any sign of sadness.
They couldn't even clean up the scene. They left one after another, as if they wanted to escape as soon as possible from the horror.
