Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 619

Francesca snorted and said angrily, "Since the Lightning Clan wants to challenge us, the least you can do is be sincere. Thinking you could just use only the Dragon Source Herb Farm to bet against the Sun family's token is just wishful thinking, Guardian Franklin."

Franklin could not pretend that he was uninvolved anymore. He could only look at Francesca and respond, "Elder Sun, you're too serious. My little disciple merely had an immature idea. If you don't want to bet then I'll ask my little disciple to get off the stage."

He sounded polite, but he was actually throwing the Sun family under the bus.

As a junior, Zachary had proposed a bet to the Sun family. However, Francesca, a senior, pressured Zachary with her position so that he would retract his challenge. From an outsider's point of view, it appeared like the Sun family did not dare to accept the Lightning Clan's challenge because they were weak.

If that was the truth, the Sun family's reputation would be greatly damaged, even worse than would result from losing matches.

For a moment, the crowd criticised the Sun family. They began to question Francesca's attitude, of how she was bullying a junior, and her cowardice in rejecting the challenge.

Suddenly, Francesca's expression darkened. She knew that she had to clarify this matter. Otherwise, the crowd might misunderstand the Sun family.

With her eyes narrowed, she gazed at Franklin and said, "Guardian Franklin, you're wrong. This is not about whether I want to bet or not. It's about the fairness of the bet."

"Since the Lightning Clan wants to challenge the Sun Family, the Sun Family will accept the challenge if it's a fair duel," she uttered.

She added, "But if certain people feign ignorance so they could take advantage of the Sun family, then the bet is unfair. Because that is the case, the Sun family will certainly not accept the challenge."

Francesca made it very clear, and the crowd finally understood her point. It turned out that Francesca was angry not because the Lightning Clan had challenged the Sun family, but because the bet proposed by the Lightning Clan was not fair.

However, the curiosity of the crowd was piqued.

The Lightning Clan used the Dragon Source Herb Farm as their bet, and it was definitely worth a lot of money. But based on what Francesca said, the Dragon Source Herb Farm seemed to be much less valuable than the Sun family's token.

As a result, all of the martial artists were interested in knowing what the token of the Sun family was, and why it was so valuable to Francesca and Franklin.

Franklin's face twitched after hearing what she said. He knew that it was unrealistic for him to keep feigning ignorance. Therefore, he replied, "We, the Lightning Clan, heard that the Sun family has a precious token. As for the specific value of it, we don't know. Therefore, we thought that the Dragon Source Herb Farm was a fair bet."

"If its value is not equal to the token, then I apologize to Elder Sun on behalf of my little disciple. It's my fault that my little disciple was reckless in proposing a bet without understanding the actual situation," Franklin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zachary said, "Master, I'll remember your teachings. Elder Sun alleged that the Sun family's token is so precious, yet we have never seen it. What a shame! I don't know if the token is really so precious that the land with the Dragon Source Herb Farm cannot be considered of equal value. Or, perhaps there is some other unspoken reason."

When Zachary said so, his implication was that he had suspicions regarding the value of the Sun family's token, as well as of Francesca's recent claim.

Soon, the air between the Lightning Clan and the Sun family got more and more tense. Most of the Sun family members had cold expressions.

On the contrary, Franklin was still smiling as if he did not notice anything. He said to Francesca, "Elder Sun, my little disciple is still too young. If he has offended you, please forgive him. After all, he's just curious."

Again, Franklin sounded polite, but he was clearly on Zachary's side, expressing his doubts about the Sun family.

Obviously, Franklin and Zachary were both putting pressure on Francesca.

As expected, their doubts triggered the curiosity of the others as well. As a result, the crowd began to discuss among themselves.

"It sounds mysterious. But is the token of the Sun family really so precious?" one bystander asked.

"Is there really such a precious token? Why is there no rumour about the Sun family? Is it fake?" a martial artist expressed the sentiment as well.

"If it's fake, then Elder Sun would not be so angry. Do you really think that the Sun family dares to refuse the challenge of the Lightning Clan, and this is just an excuse?" another martial artist replied.

"No way. No matter what, the Sun Family is still a Black Level family. Its power is on par with the Lightning Clan. Why wouldn't they dare to accept the challenge?" the bystander argued.

"You don't know this, do you? Because of the previous battle with Master Chen, the combat power of those in the middle ranks in the Sun family has weakened a lot. Maybe they really dare not accept the challenge. After all, they have lost quite a number of matches already," the other martial artist added.

More and more people were suspicious of the Sun family. They pointed and spoke among themselves.

Francesca's eyes darkened when she looked at smiling Zachary and Franklin. She could tell that they had no good intentions.

With no other choice left, Francesca had to produce the token and explain.

Thinking of this, Francesca couldn't help but turn her gaze upon Fade who was standing on the shore with an inquiring look.

After all, the token of the Wushuang Tower was related to Quin's mother and the four Heaven Level superpowers. Francesca did not dare to expose their existence carelessly, so she was seeking Fade's opinion on it.

Fade understood what Francesca meant. He nodded slightly, indicating that Francesca could show the token to the crowd.

Catching sight of his reaction, Francesca knew his answer. She turned her head and glanced at the people who were talking among themselves. Then, she said loudly, "Since Guardian Franklin and all of you are curious about the value of the Sun family's token, I'll show you what it's worth."

When everyone heard that Francesca was about to showcase the token, they immediately became excited and they fixed their gazes on her.

Even Franklin and Zachary narrowed their eyes and looked at Francesca.

Francesca removed a silk bag from her chest carefully, and then she slowly took a palmsized token from her bag.

The token looked simple and ancient. One could tell at a glance that it was old.

Francesca showed the crowd both sides of the token and said, "This is the Sun family's token!"

For a moment, almost everyone there gazed at the token. The martial artists on the shore narrowed their eyes while others used binoculars or other tools to examine the token.
