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

Fire Dragon, however, didn't think too much. He was still urging Fade to make his move, "Boss, what are you waiting for? Time waits for no man. We should quickly restore the formation and escape through the channel!" Fade stopped what he was doing. Despite Fire Dragon's persuasion, he shook his head and said, "We're not entering the channel."

"Boss, what's the meaning of that? Why not? This is our best chance of escape!" Fire Dragon grew anxious upon hearing Fade's decision.

Fade took one glimpse at Evelyne and explained, "Even if we restore the formation, we would be able to return to Earth through the World Tree's channel. But this means they could too, they would surely pursue us to Earth." "Once the people of the Earth Yuan World set foot on Earth, the entire planet will fall into chaos. How many innocent people's lives will be affected? I won't be able to control that kind of situation at all." Fire Dragon was struck dumb upon hearing Fade's explanation.

However, he instantly voiced out a solution, "Boss, we'll just have to destroy the channel once we're on the other side."

"How?" Fade questioned, "We can't destroy the channel completely, not from Earth. It will only be a matter of time till they repair the channel. In the end, they would still be able to intrude our Earth."

"Don't forget what happened after Jeremiah was killed. We thought we obliterated the channel from Earth, but after three years, we still ended up here in Earth Yuan World."

Fire Dragon finally understood what was going on.

Indeed, it was impossible to obliterate the channel from Earth.

If they entered the channel now, it would only result in the arrival of the people of the Earth Yuan World in Earth. The outcome was something Fade never wanted to see.

The two of them fell into deep silence. Suddenly, Evelyne spoke, "You guys leave, I'll destroy the World Tree's channel from here."

"Yes, that would probably work. If you destroy the channel from this end, it would probably be irreparable. Even if it's not, it would still require a much greater time and effort to get the channel going again," Fire Dragon contemplated with excitement. However, the harsh reality hit him as soon as he finished his words. The excitement in his tone suddenly dropped drastically, "In this case, Miss Tu, you won't be able to return with us to Earth. You'll have to stay here."

Evelyne squeezed out a smile, "I'm from the Earth Yuan World, after all. This is my home, so I should be the one to stay."

"But if you stay, you'll be in grave danger once the pursuers arrive," Fire Dragon's tone was full of concern.

Evelyne, on the other hand, answered him in a tranquil voice, "Don't worry, they're after Fade and his treasures. If you leave now, they probably won't find much use of me."

Hearing this, Fire Dragon looked at Fade hesitantly.

Fade seemed to have expected Evelyne to propose this. He shook his head slightly and said, "No, we can't leave you behind."

"Fade, leaving now is the best choice. I told you, you don't have to worry about me, I..." Evelyn coaxed him hastily.

However, Fade only shook his head and interrupted her, "My master has already done too much for me. Now she has entrusted me with you, I can't risk your safety for my sake, I can't put you in such a dangerous situation." "Fade, don't be silly. If you guys don't leave, we'll all be in danger. We'd still have a chance to live if you leave, right now," Evelyne tried reasoning with him.

Just as the both of them were arguing over the next move, a whizz of positive energy approached.

At the same time, people's voices could be heard from the sky above.

"They're over there, come one!"

"That's the World Tree's channel. They're trying to flee, don't let them get away."

"Move, people, quickly. We must capture Fade and seize the treasures."

Upon seeing this, Evelyne's expression grew tense as she said hurriedly, "Fade, don't hesitate anymore. Just leave."

Fade frowned slightly. Uncertainty and reluctance filled his face.

However, at the same instant, a man in the Loh family's uniform came over and shouted, "Fade, your Master Natalia is dying. Are you going to ditch her and escape alone like a coward?" "What?"

Fade and Evelyne's expressions changed upon hearing the man's words. They lifted their heads and glared at the man in the sky.

"What did you say? My grandmother can't be dying!" Evelyne roared impatiently.

The Loh family's trooper merely gave her an apathetic snort, "What? Did you seriously think that Natalia Tu could escape from the hands of the head of the Loh family? Ezekiel is widely venerated in the Fetus Refine Realm." Evelyne's heart missed a beat, "I don't care how respected Ezekiel is. My grandmother is a Four- Star Alchemist. She has a special identity, and according to the Taeyoon Domain's rules, she can't be killed as one pleases." "Ezekiel wouldn't dare kill my grandmother. If he does, he will certainly be investigated by the mayor, or perhaps even the governor."

The Loh family's trooper gave out a burst of laughter and shook his head, "You too naive. Those broken rules do not control the Loh family." "Besides, the capital city has already given us an official permit. Natalia Tu will be sentenced to death next week, right in front of Mayor Mansion." "Impossible, you're making this up to scare me. Why would the capital city agree to such an absurd request? You must be lying," Evelyne said briskly. The Loh family's trooper tossed out a notice as he sniggered, "Believe it or not, everyone in South Van City knows about this."

Evelyne stretched out her hand and grabbed the notice. She speedily opened it to take a look.

Her eyes instantly dimmed as she muttered.

"Jaiden Yoon, the commander of the Taeyoon Guards, will arrive at South Van City and personally supervise this case." "No, this is impossible. It's not true. I don't believe it."

The Loh family's trooper merely snickered, "You'll find out the truth if you return to South Van City. I won't stop you."

After making the statement, the trooper waved his hand and motioned his comrades to make way for Evelyne.

Evelyne was so agitated that she almost bolted out instinctively.

However, Fade grabbed hold of her at the crucial moment, "No!"

"I'm going to find my grandmother, I can't leave her alone," Evelyne said with a voice choked with emotions.

Fade held her firmly, unwilling to let go, "I understand your feelings right now, but your departure would only result in your death. You won't be able to save Madam Tu, you'll just end up dying with her."

"But my grandmother, she..." Evelyne mumbled as tears welled up her eyes.

"I promise you, I will save my master," Fade assured her in a deep voice, "Even if it means risking my life." "But..."

Fade fixed his gaze on Evelyne, his expression was determined and unwavering, "Please, I need you to trust me." Fade turned around. With a swish, a burst of positive energy released smashed the World Tree's channel to pieces. The unstable channel instantly burst open.

The pervading spatial turbulence spread like wildfire, causing the surrounding space to descend into chaos.

Fire Dragon lost his cool upon witnessing the destruction of the channel, "Boss, what're you doing? That was our only way out. You've shattered our only chance of survival. We're doomed!" Evelyne was also startled by Fade's unexpected actions. She immediately understood the motives behind his actions.

His suicidal actions reflected his determination to stay behind. At the same time, he also reminded himself that he wouldn't leave without his master.

A wave of warmth surged through Evelyne's heart. However, she couldn't stop herself from worrying.

The channel was obliterated and more troopers had arrived. Their chances of survival were almost zero.

However, Fade seemed to read her thoughts.

The expression in his eyes was

relentless as the dagger of the Eternal Ice Core appeared in his

hands. He soared into the alle

went head-on with dozens of

troopers as he shouted, "If there's no way out, I'll just create one myself."

His sonorous words were overloaded with courage and audacity.

At that instant, Fade was like a sharp blade. He cut through the sky and came down at the enemy.

The troopers simply snorted coldly upon seeing this. Their eyes were stony and distant.

"Hmph, create a way out? That'll be the last thing you do before we end your life."

"Don't be too arrogant, kid. You die today."

"Hand over the Ice Soul Pearl and perhaps your life can be spared."

Fade dismissed their harsh remarks. His aura had been restored after the World Tree's channel's annihilation. Now, he would let it run wild.

Just like a sharp blade, he cut through the air and his attacks came down hard.

"Swoosh!"

He swung his dagger. The ominous chill had left a white mark of ice in the air.

Four troopers were struck before they could dodge the attack.

Their body went rigid as they plummeted from the sky. Their aurae had been severed.

"Be careful—" The other troopers roared as they retreated hurriedly.

However, Fade was faster. Together with the spatial turbulence from the channel's detonation, he moved like a flash in the air and appeared beside the troopers in an instant. "Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Another couple of swings took down

several more troopers. Their bodies froze before they had to chance to holler or scream. Just like that, they plunged from the sky and became one with the debris below.

In the wink of an eye, six troopers' blood was on Fade's hand.

His skills and maneuvers sent chills up the remaining troopers' spines.

At that moment, they couldn't control the fear which slowly arose in their hearts.

"They said he had been on the run for a long time, he should be worn out by now. How is he still fighting like that?"

"Those comrades he killed just now, they were all seventh stage experts from the Soul Refine Realm, yet he finished them off so effortlessly. How strong is this guy?"

"I'm afraid his skills have exceeded that of a typical ninth stage practitioner from the Soul Refine Realm."

Fade wouldn't give the troopers a chance to process their fears and hesitancy. At that moment, his eyes were scarlet as his internal organs surged with seemingly inexhaustible positive energy.

The dagger of the Eternal Ice Core in his hand seemed to have transformed into Death's scythe. It streaked across the trooper's bodies, taking their lives one by one.

In mere seconds, only eight troopers were left from the initial thirty-men team.

"Should we continue?" Fade questioned with the dagger in his hand. He gave the surviving troopers a merciless glare.

The remaining eight troopers locked eyes and saw apparent terror and withdrawal in each other's eyes. Fade's exhibition of strength earlier was far too threatening, after all. It was completely beyond their expectations.

They were not sure if they would follow the steps of their deceased comrades if they insisted on continuing the combat.

For a moment, everyone fell into a peculiar silence. Both sides stood there, quietly observing each other. It was as if time was frozen.

Upon witnessing this, Evelyne couldn't restrain her excitement as she clapped her hands out of enthusiasm, "Fade's too awesome, I never thought him to be so powerful."
