Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 154

Hearing his words, Uncle Whittaker froze. He lost the will to fight back and could only mutter helplessly, "Tianwu Mountain... Are you saying you are a disciple of the Tianwu Clan which is of the Heaven Level?" Even Watson Xie, who was no martial artist, was overcome by shock and disbelief when he heard the words "Tianwu Clan."

According to lore, the skills of the martial artists were divided according to levels. From highest to lower, they were the Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow levels.

Among these four levels, martial artists of the Heaven level were the rarest. Members of the Tianwu Clan, who situated at Tianwu Mountain, were amongst those few martial artists.

The Tianwu Clan had proven to be extraordinary in strength. Since it came into existence half a century ago, many powerful martial artists had emerged from the clan. They came to represent absolute power, and their members were seen to be able to rub shoulders with the elite and wealthy.

Every disciple coming from Tianwu Mountain

would be immediately be given many offers by the elite and those in power to be an ally or of service to them.

Watson Xie had never heard of someone from the Tianwu Clan in Dragonville of Long City, not to mention being in Bay City.

And yet, they had offended a disciple of the Tianwu Clan who was standing right in front of them now.

Uncle Whittaker did not defend himself from Fade Chen's blow. He had accepted his fate since there was no use fighting back now that he knew.

Fade Chen sent another blow towards Uncle Whittaker that caused his neck to snap. He died and fell over.

Watson Xie was completely distraught and dumbfounded. All traces of arrogance had long left him. Kneeling in front of Fade Chen, he begged, "Master of the Tianwu Clan, have mercy on me, I have offended you. Please, give me a chance and accept my humble apologies..."

Fade Chen shook his head. Silently, he gathered energy within.

Lifting his palm, he sent a surge of energy towards Watson Xie.

Seeing as death was descending upon him, Watson Xie was stricken by terror and tried to plead, "No, please, Quin Lin..."

"What..." Fade Chen frowned at the mention of Quin Lin. However, the force of his blow landed directly on Watson Xie, killing him in an instant.

Fade Chen sighed with relief since Watson Xie and his men were all disposed of. "I am from Tianwu Mountain, but I never said I'm a disciple of the Tianwu Clan." He spoke, addressing their corpses.

Fade Chen began to generate energy from deep within. On his palm, bright red air started to appear and swirl around mysteriously.

This ball of energy seemed vibrant as it pulsated steadily, looking like it was on fire.

Fade Chen launched it onto the corpses in front of him. Instantly, they caught fire and started burning, the rain-bearing no effect on it.

In a few minutes, only ashes remained, and they were washed away by the torrent, leaving nothing behind.

Returning to the cabin, Fade Chen dealt likewise with the remaining corpses.

Jordan Qi was still unconscious. It would have been inconvenient if he had regained consciousness while all these were happening.

Gazing at the dark skies stained with torrential downpour, Fade Chen felt unease creeping into his heart since Watson Xie's last words uttered were his wife's name. Also, he did not forget how assured Watson Xie was that he would be able to lay hands on company shares of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. He wondered if Watson Xie had already some sinister plot in motion.

Fade Chen was a little worried as he was not sure how to proceed with Jordan Qi on his side. Being alone would have been easier.

Fade Chen lifted Jordan Qi, infused him with some of his inner energy, and willed him to awaken from his coma.

However, just moments later, Jordan Qi started coughing up blood, his face turning an irregular shade of blue.

Fade Chen froze and inspected Jordan Qi carefully. Rage overcame him when he found out that Jordan Qi had been poisoned by the Lanyou Herb!

It was not considered a strong and immediate poison. It usually invaded the nervous system, taking around half a month for a grown man to succumb to its effect and die.

The Lanyou Herb, however, had a unique feature. Upon encounter with the inner energy of a martial artist, the effects of the poison would speed up. It was due to this specialty that it was commonly used against martial artists.

Fade Chen had inadvertently sped up the effects of the poison by injecting his inner energy in Jordan Qi.

"D*mn it!" Fade Chen cursed in frustration. How he longed to enact revenge against Watson Xie and his men once more.

Dealing with the poison from the Lanyou Herb was not a major issue for Fade Chen. However, trying to neutralize it quickly was not a viable option. Fade Chen could not utilize his inner energy in the healing process, so he had to replace and brew an antidote for the poison.

Fade Chen's wish to return soon would have to be delayed for now.

Moving Jordan Qi to a more comfortable position, Fade Chen went back into the woods. Through the rain, he scoured the forest looking for the ingredients he needed for the antidote.

The forest was pitch black, and the rain poured down continuously, making this no easy task. Some of the required herbs were rare and difficult to replace. He searched for hours until the sun rose before managing to gather all the materials that he needed.

Fade Chen began preparing the antidote in the cabin. After another hour, it was ready, and he poured it down Jordan Qi's throat.

Checking on Jordan Qi, Fade Chen saw that the antidote was effective and was instantly relieved. Anyhow, it would take another few hours for him to heal completely.

Jordan Qi became conscious around noon and woke up groggily.

Without waiting for any questions from him, Fade Chen explained in simple terms the events that had transpired. They then made the move to leave the cabin immediately. With Jordan Qi by his side, Fade Chen had to slow down. It took around two hours before they managed to leave the mountains behind them
