Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2462

After Abelard finished, Thurl looked at Fade and said, "Since the matter related to Jaston has been settled, can you pick which Martial Hall you want to join now, Fade?" Fade replied, "About that, there's still some unfinished business."

"There's more?" Thurl asked.

The other chiefs' expressions changed slightly, as if they were a little impatient with Fade's dawdling.

Regardless, Thurl still asked, "What is it? Tell me."

"Thank you, Mr. Thurl!" Fade thanked him with a cupped fist. Then, his gaze fell on Abelard once again.

"When I was taking part in the assessment on the inner island, my team leader, Mr. Lou, was biased against my junior because of the Jaston incident."

"Because of that, we got into an argument and I switched over to Mr. Moo's team. Since then, Mr. Lou has held a grudge against me."

"Fade, what nonsense are you talking about!" Abelard frowned and interrupted him coldly.

"I'm not talking nonsense. There were many other team members who can attest to the situation." Fade said, "Of course, that's not the point."

"The point is, while we were at the Yuwen family's home, and I was trying to attack Jaston, Lucio kept stopping me."

"Moreover, I had already explained that Jaston was the killer, but Mr. Lou kept denying it. He wouldn't let me touch Jaston even though he knew he was the culprit. That's because Jaston was his disciple, and a team member of Poison Cloud Hall."

After saying this, he lowered his tone and said aloud, "As a member of the inner island and the leader of the team, I can understand if he is biased. However, when it comes to life and death, how can he still protect the murderer? This is a clear cover-up."

"For this, I request for Lucio to be punished."

His words caused an uproar among the chiefs, and many of them frowned.

As for Abelard, naturally, he was very riled up. He pointed at Fade and shouted, "Fade, don't push your luck. Poison Cloud Hall has already let the matter of Jaston's death go, yet you still want to go after Lucio? What do you think you are doing?"

Fade said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Abelard? Jaston tried to kill me, so I killed him instead. It's what he deserves. How is it related to Poison Cloud Hall's forgiveness?" "Do you mean to say that he should have a lighter sentence, or even be forgiven, just because he's from Poison Cloud Hall? Even though he's a murderer?"

"You..." As this concerned the Hall's reputation, Abelard did not dare to respond carelessly. He pointed at Fade and shouted angrily, "You are being unreasonable. The matter has already been settled. You are taking advantage of the opportunity to seek revenge."

"I merely requested punishment for someone who tried to protect a murderer. Does that sound like a personal vendetta to you?" Fade retorted.

Abelard stated firmly, "You... Anyway, there's no way you can punish Lucio!"

The reason why he was so protective of Lucio was because Poison Cloud Hall's reputation was at stake. Secondly, Abelard and Lucio were relatives. As Lucio was his nephew, he naturally wanted to protect his own family member.

"Enough, stop arguing." Thud's voice silenced the scene.

Then, he looked at the other chiefs and asked, "What do you all think about this?"

Hearing this, their expressions changed. They didn't say anything, and their gazes all looked over to Veda. After all, this matter was directly related to him.

Under everyone's gaze, Veda

appeared a little gloomy. He glanced

at Fade and then said, "At the time the evidence wasn't clear. Lucio was merely protecting the people of the inner island and it was reasonable. I don't see anything wrong with it."

His words stated his intentions clearly. He wanted to protect his member. Fade's expression changed slightly. He pondered over what to say next.

Unexpectedly, Janus interjected. "I disagree Fade mentioned that Lucio himself said that even if Jaston was the murderer, he would protect him. Furthermore, he has always been at odds with Fade."

"For this, I think his behavior is indeed inappropriate. He should be punished."

"All he did was say a few words. How can you call that protecting the murderer? Janus, I think you are the one who is being unreasonable here!" Veda roared back. Janus chuckled and said, "It wasn't just words. Lucio and Fade got into a fight. If Fade hadn't been strong enough, he might not even be standing here today." "This is the scene of the battle at the Yuwen family home on the outer island!" Camelia immediately played the recorded scene.

The scene appeared in front of all the chiefs. Lucio was arrogantly shielding Jaston and launching an attack on Fade.

The recording only caused the discussions to grow even more intense. At this point, several of the other chiefs were beginning to agree with Janus.

Veda's expression slowly sank as he said coldly, "A mere battle scene doesn't mean much. Moreover, Lucio might have just said that out of anger at the spur of the moment."

As he spoke, Abelard interrupted by saying, "Chief, Lucio is here. You can ask him for yourself what he was really thinking."

Obviously, Abelard was also quick to respond.

Lucio walked into the hall and glared at Fade with a dark expression. He immediately bowed and explained his side of the story.

Of course, in his explanation, all his

actions were to maintain the order

of Poison Cloud Hall and the inner island. He didn't want to let Fade kill someone recklessly. To him it was a very logical course of action.

For a moment, Janus was up against Veda, Nestor was up against Abelard, and Fade was up against Lucio.

Both sides pitched their arguments and they could not reach a consensus.

In the end, Veda cast a fierce glance at Fade and the others and simply said, "If anyone dares to go against Lucio today, he'll have to answer to me and Poison Cloud Hall." Upon hearing this, everyone instantly quietened down. It was clear that everyone's expressions had changed.

There was no point in arguing whether Lucio's actions were reasonable anymore.

Veda had already made it clear that he would protect his member.

As for whether Janus would protect Fade or not, nobody knew.

After all, although Fade was pretty strong, he wasn't the best. Moreover, he hadn't chosen to join Green Wood Hall yet. It wasn't a wise choice for Janus to lock horns with Veda over this kid. Most people present had already come to a conclusion about what would happen.

Fade was certain to lose this debate. Furthermore, because of this matter, he had angered Veda. Even if he chose the other Martial Halls, his future on the inner island wasn't looking too good.
