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

Chapter 3324



However, Fire Dragon, who was standing at the side, wasn't excited or even joyous at all. He said in a tone full of concern, "Boss won't be able to hold on much longer. His aura is pretty much drained, it's almost empty now. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep going."

"What? How could this be?" Evelyne, who had been remarkably thrilled just earlier, was crestfallen.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

At the same instant, although Fade still looked calm and collected on the outside, he was suffering deep inside.

He was indeed close to exhausting his aura.

Fortunately, his previous exhibition of strength had scared the wits out of the eight troopers in front of him. They looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

In the end, the eight remaining troopers decided to cut and run.

Apparently, their lives were more important than the prizes promised by the Loh and Gu families.

Looking at the trooper's backs, Fade breathed a sigh of relief. He collapsed to the ground and gasped for air desperately.

Evelyne and Fire Dragon approached him hurriedly upon seeing this.

"Fade, are you alright?"

"Don't scare me, boss."

Fade squeezed out a smile and reassured, "There's no need to worry. I'll just need some rest, that's all."

Evelyne grabbed Fade's hand and transferred all her remaining positive energy into him, an attempt to help him recover.

After a while, Fade's fragile body regained some strength. He could finally stand up from the ground.

Fire Dragon inquired, "Boss, so what should we do now? Where should we go?"

Evelyne turned her head to look at the spatial channel that Fade obliterated not too long ago. Her eyes flickered slightly as she fixed her gaze on Fade as well.

Fade was deep in thought. Suddenly, his expression altered dramatically as he yelled, "Run!"

Almost at the same time, Fade grabbed both of his companions and made a run for it.

However, a massive aura loomed over the trio like an arrow from a bow.

A gigantic dark cloud seemed to cover the entire sky. It trashed and rolled after the escaping trio.

In mere seconds, a jet- black shadow was above their heads. The rolling sounds were like storm and thunder, "You can't get away."

"Boom!"

A stream of positive energy struck down and blasted Fade and his fellow companions. They were thrown on the ground severely as blood oozed from the corner of their lips.

Then, the shadow in the air landed on the ground and observed Fade with an apathetic glare, "Hand over the Ice Soul Pearl!"

Fade glanced at the man in front of him. He was wearing the Loh family's insignia, "Did the Loh family send you?"

The shadow spoke in a deep voice, "The name's Tiernan Loh. Give up the Ice Soul Pearl now and perhaps your life can be spared."

Evelyne was right beside Fade and overheard their brief exchange. She hastily whispered, "Tiernan Loh is Ezekiel's uncle. His skills and talents are second only to Ezekiel's father, Amman Loh. He's the second strongest in the Loh family."

Fade's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing Evelyne's words. He mustered the remaining positive energy in his body as he mentally devised an escape plan.

Unfortunately, Tiernan was one of the Fetus Refine Realm's venerable masters. He instantly sensed Fade's slight movement. With a snort, a surge of positive energy burst through the air and prated Fade's veins. In mere seconds, Fade's blood was all over the place.

"Fade!" Evelyne shrieked out of shock. She rushed to Fade's side and transferred more of her positive energy to heal his injuries.

Tiernan stood tall and looked down at them with a cold glare, "My patience is finite."

Fade rolled his eyes and finally made up his mind. He bit his lip as he raised his head and fixed gazes with Tiernan, "I'll give it up on one condition." "You don't have the rights to negotiate with me," Tiernan waved his hand gently. Dark clouds wadded and completely covered the sky as thunders roared and bolts of lightning struck. It was as if the storm above would drop any time and burn the trio into ashes.

Fade activated the Ice Soul Pearl and held it in his hand. He responded coldly, "I do not doubt that with power such as yours, you're able to kill us off effortlessly."

"However, I've already refined the Ice Soul Pearl. If you kill me, I will shatter it before I take my last breath."

Tiernan sneered, "You dare threaten me?"

"We're making a deal," Fade replied.

"You're a venerable master, so you should know that refining a treasure like this requires the infusion of the soul energy. It doesn't matter how fast you are, you'll never be able to catch up to the speed of a divine soul's thought."

"If I destroy the Ice Soul Pearl's core, you won't see this item as a precious treasure any longer. Even if you successfully obtain it later, you won't be able to refine it, so it won't serve you much purpose."

Tiernan's eyelids trembled slightly upon hearing Fade's words. It was as if some odd thought had struck his mind.

Fade caught this disregardable movement with his keen eyes. He continued to sway Tiernan, "Perhaps you should hear me out before rejecting my request."

"Spit it out!" Tiernan urged.

Fade thus continued, "My request is simple. I'm willing to go with you. I'll hand over the Ice Soul Pearl to you, but you have to let them leave." Fade gestured towards Evelyne and Fire

Dragon as he spoke.

"Fade, you..." Evelyne and Fire Dragon shouted at the same instant.

However, Fade gave them a meaningful look and then continued, "The Loh family has put in so much for the Ice Soul Pearl, for this treasure from the relics."

"Evelyne Tu and this vicious beast won't be able to make much of an impact on the great Loh family."

"Kill them and I'll destroy the Ice Soul Pearl. Let them live and I'll go with you. Your choice."

Tiernan was swayed by Fade's words as he questioned, "How can I believe you?"

A smile flashed across Fade's face, "You're a venerable master, that means you possess the ability to end my life. If I betray your trust, you'll just kill me anytime you want. I'm not stupid and I most certainly cherish my life."

Tiernan fell silent for a few seconds. He then turned his head and looked back. His eyebrows knitted into a frown as if he had noticed something disturbing.

Therefore, he immediately gave Fade a nod of agreement, "Alright, we have a deal."

Fade exchanged glances with Evelyne and Fire Dragon, "Leave, hurry!"

"But..." Evelyne's face was filled with concern.

Fade gritted his teeth as he said, "This is not the time to hesitate. Just run, run as far as you can, quickly!"

Evelyne gnashed her teeth. She grabbed Fire Dragon and sprinted in the opposite direction.

Tiernan merely gaped at their fleeing shadows. He kept his words and did not pursue them.

"They're gone. I've kept my end of the bargain, now it's your turn. The Ice Soul Pearl, hand it over."

Fade shook his head and said, "No, not now."

"You're a venerable master, you're much stronger than any of us here. I must wait until they are at a safe distance from you. Then, I'll believe you." "You-" Tiernan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of irritation.

Fade immediately stated, "Master Loh, alive or dead, they will not be able to affect the outcome. It is impractical to be enraged over such an insignificant matter."

"Perhaps you should be more concerned about the other masters!"

Upon hearing this, Tiernan raised his eyebrows and looked at Fade, "Kid, I never thought that a lowborn like you could possess such sharp senses." Fade continued, "There's only one Ice Soul Pearl. The outcome is the same no matter who I give it up to. However, the results will be very different for those who wield the treasure."

"Kid, I know what you're trying. With your skills and talents, you're still a long way from sewing discord amongst us," Tiernan groaned. With his huge hands, he lifted Fade up and threw him into the depths of the relics with a whoosh.

After a while, several figures approached Tiernan and hovered by his side.

Evidently, the other experts from the ruins had heard the news.

One of them was wearing the Gu family's insignia. It was obvious that he was Talha Gu, the second strongest in the Gu family. Fade did not recognize the others, but he knew that they were all strong venerable masters of the Fetus Refine Realm.

When they saw Fade in Tiernan's hand, an odd expression appeared in their eyes.

"Tiernan, you've caught the brat, haven't you?"

"Tiernan, have you acquired the Ice Soul Pearl?"

"The Ice Soul Pearl is everyone's property. Don't even think about taking it all for yourself!"

Of course, Tiernan understood what

these people were thinking. He

merely gave them an indifferent snort and said, "This kid is clever, He

refined the Ice Soul Pearl with his divine soul, so be careful. If he destroys the Ice Soul Pearl, no one will be able to gain any benefit."

A few people gave Fade a cold glare upon hearing this. Their gazes were so hard and frozen they seemed to pierce right through him.

Subsequently, several more venerable masters from the Fetus Refine Realm arrived.

Finally, with the company of all twelve venerable masters of the Fetus Refine Realm, Fade flew to the relics' core. They landed under a towering

mountain.

Nine people were waiting for their arrival at the foot of the mountain. Judging from their aura, these people were no weaker than Tiernan and the others. Perhaps the nine people were even stronger than all of them.

Tiernan walked towards a silver-haired elder and said, "Big Brother, I've captured him."

On the other side, Talha walked towards a well-dressed elder and blurted, "Little brother..."

Fade immediately determined the elders' identity upon seeing this.

The silver-haired elder was Tiernan's elder brother, Ezekiel's father, the previous head of the Loh family, and the strongest in the Loh family. The legendary Amman Loh.

On the other hand, the well-dressed elder was Talha's younger brother, the previous head of the Gu family, and the strongest in the Gu family. The

great Pascal Gu. Although he wasn't able to identify the others, their majestic aura confirmed their mighty potency.

After Tiernan landed with Fade in his hands, all nine people surrounded them in an instant. Their gazes all fell on Fade, but at the same time, they did

not forget about the strong opponents around them.

"Where's the Ice Soul Pearl?"

All nine people asked at almost the same time.

Tiernan exchanged glances with Amman. After gaining Amman's permission, he threw Fade to the ground. Instantly, Fade was surrounded by all nine

people.

Fade took one glance at all nine people encircling him. His divine soul shifted mildly and an icy white

bead appeared in this palm. In an instant, everyone on the scene fixed their gazes on the lovely treasure. Their eyes were filled with excitement as well as greed. Their intentions to take the Ice Soul Pearl

as their own were far too apparent.

However, under each other's deterrent, no one dared take action in the end.

Seeing this, Fade gave them a smirk as he said, "The Ice Soul Pearl is here. I can give it up to you, but you must first spare my life."

"I accept your request," Amman assured, "Now, hand over the Ice Soul Pearl!"

"I accept your request as well," Pascal urged, "Hand the Ice Soul Pearl over to me."

"I accept your request," the others also spoke.
