Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 763

Just as everything was happening on the mountain path, at the top of Thunder Mountain, the upper echelons of the Lightning Clan gathered in the main hall, discussing something.

Seated in the main seat was the Guardian of Lightning Clan, Franklin Chang. At this moment, he had a worried look on his face. He looked at the elders on both sides and said, "Do we really have to do this?" A middle-aged man with a long beard sat down and said to Franklin, "Guardian, you are the leader of our Lightning Clan. Why the need to be so afraid?"

Franklin sighed and said to the long-bearded man, "Master Chien, I'm not afraid. It's just that if he found out that we did this, I'm afraid that..."

Without waiting for Franklin to finish, Master Chien said directly, "Guardian, to be honest, you think too highly of that person. You're too fearful of him! Our Lightning Clan is a force of the Black Level. How could we be afraid of an ordinary practitioner?"

Master Chien's words were so lofty that many other elders agreed with him immediately.

"Guardian, Master Chien is right. We, the Lightning Clan, have been around for a hundred years. We have been through so much. If we cancel the event and drive away the guests over such trivial matters, we will become the laughingstock of the public."

"Yes, Guardian, the Opening Day is starting soon. At this point, there's no need to be hesitating!"

Hearing the elders' persuasion, Franklin's expression improved, but he still looked worried and said, "However, we have already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him. Yet, we are still organizing the Opening Day at the Dragon Source Herb Farm. No matter how you see it, we are still at fault!"

The "him" in Franklin's words naturally referred to Fade.

During the battle at the Martial Arts Convention, Franklin lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade as a result of a bet. Although Fade had not come to collect the herb farm in the months after, Franklin still had some worries in his heart.

In particular, the Opening Day made Franklin even more worried. He had not slept well recently.

After all, the Opening Day was equivalent to using Fade's property to win connections on behalf of the Lightning Clan. If Fade found out, things would get messy!

Thinking of this, Franklin couldn't help but remember the scene of the arena fight. He shuddered in his heart, feeling terrified.

However, the other elders hadn't experienced that fight, so they didn't understand Franklin's concern right now. They even felt that the Guardian was too timid and terrified of an ordinary practitioner.

Among them, the one who opposed him the most was the First Master Tyrion Chien, the long-bearded man who had spoken just now.

Sure enough, after hearing Franklin's words, Tyrion immediately stood up and said harshly, "Guardian, I don't agree with you."

"Fade hasn't come to the Lightning Clan to take over the Dragon Source Herb Farm. The farm is still not his."

"Even if he comes, it's still debatable whether we should give him the farm or not."

Upon hearing this, Franklin could not help but shiver. He looked at Tyrion and said, "Master Chien, do you mean..."

Tyrion looked directly at Franklin and nodded without any hesitation. Then, he glanced at the other elders and said aloud, "Guardian, now that all the people present are from our own side, I won't hide anything from you. Let's get straight to the point. We shouldn't give the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade."

"But we lost the bet..." Franklin said.

Tyrion sneered and said, "Guardian, how many people know about the bet and how many people approve of it? This is still unknown."

"What's more, even if we lost to him, so what? We're a martial arts clan. It won't be that easy to take things away from us!"

Tyrion's words caused many elders to rise to their feet in agreement.

"Guardian, Master Chien's words make sense! Not to mention that it was a small bet, even if we don't admit it in public, what can he do to us?" "That's right. Guardian, we are martial arts practitioners, not those brainless scholars. We need to be versatile when it comes to certain matters."

"Besides, didn't the Yue family lose a bet as well? They're going to hand over half of their property, weren't they? Now, not to mention half of their property, even the engagement that they promised to cancel is still ongoing. What can Fade do? Ha!"

The elders all supported Tyrion's point - they didn't want to hand over the Dragon Source Herb Farm.

In fact, it made sense. As a rare piece of top-grade medicinal herb field, the Dragon Source Herb Farm was considered the most important asset of the Lightning Clan. Over the years, the Lightning Clan had been growing stronger with the help of the Dragon Source Herb Farm.

Now, they were asked to hand over the Dragon Source Herb Farm to someone else. Naturally, they would not easily agree to it.

Looking at the angry elders, Franklin couldn't help sighing. Why would he want to hand the Dragon Source Herb Farm over if he had a choice?

However, when he thought of Fade's terrifying skills that he saw with his own eyes on the arena that day, he could not help but shiver. He said, "I understand what you're thinking. It's just that Fade is so powerful he even defeated Yohannes Yue. If he comes to us, I'm afraid..."

The elders had only heard about Fade's battle results. They had not personally fought with him. Naturally, they did not understand the terrifying suffocation of his strength.

At this moment, all of them seemed confident and indifferent. They all started speaking up one after another.

"Although Yohannes is powerful, he's only one. With so many members of our Lightning Clan here, how can we be weaker than him if we work together!"

"Yes, Guardian. Fade boasted so loudly, but he's just a young boy in his early twenties. He's not so powerful!"

"Guardian, think about it. Even if we are no match for him. With so many people's strength, don't we have the capital to negotiate with him?"

"Master Chien, you're right. If we're so fearful of a kid, how can we hold a foothold in the martial arts world in the future?"

Franklin listened to the words of the elders with a hesitant expression. After a pause, he said, "I'll think about it!"

The other elders were still trying to persuade him, but Master Chien stopped them, "Give the Guardian some time to think. Let's talk about this later. Anyway, most of the guests are here. We'd better prepare fo the opening ceremony!"

Upon hearing this, Franklin was silent for a few seconds. He sighed, got up, and nodded, "Let's prepare to launch the Opening Day!"

The crowd nodded and was about to walk out of the hall.

However, at this moment, a voice as loud as thunder suddenly rang out and reached the ears of everyone in the hall.

"Franklin Chang, I'm here. Come out to greet me!"
