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



After a round of questioning, Fade found out that these women and children were villagers from a nearby village.

The bandits had destroyed their village and kidnapped them.

The young, strong men of the village were all either put to work or killed. As for the older villagers, since they served no purpose, none of them were spared. Zakir killed all of them.

The remaining women and children were regarded as property by these mountain bandits and locked up in the cave. That was the only reason they were still alive.

Of course, alive was a loose term to use in this case.

Most of the women were practically naked. They had scars all over their bodies. It was clear that they had been badly abused.

The children were so skinny that they looked like walking skeletons.

Even though Fade had experienced many things, he still couldn't help but shudder at the sight of such a haunting scene.

He took out a Qi-nourishing Pill and handed it to his men. He ordered, "Take this pill, grind it down, and feed it to these people. Make sure to send them back to the city first."

These people had been locked up for too long, and their bodies were in an extremely fragile state.

Fade was using Qi-nourishing Pills to nourish their bodies.

Otherwise, even if these people survived, they would be left disabled or seriously ill for the rest of their lives. It was highly likely they would not be able to live for long.

Finally, after some time, Jade Peak was cleaned up.

Next, Fade got down to business.

He located the Spiritual Meridian and set up the formation. Then, he inserted the Fire Glow Pearl and completed the Fire Glow Formation.

As a result, the entire Jade Peak was enveloped by a layer of hazy light. Spiritual energy began to gather inside the pearl.

Faintly, Fade felt the unique aura gather toward the direction of the imperial city again.

At the same time, the Fire Glow Pearl on Jade Peak was forming a vague connection with the one in Yang Mansion. The spiritual energies are connected between the two points.

Feeling this slight change, Fade's guess about Lukas' Plan Fire Glow became more certain.

It seemed like Fade's assumptions were not far off.

The point of this plan was to connect all the spiritual energy in Yoraland, and ultimately Taeyoon World together. Once they were all in one place, Lukas would refine the saturated spiritual energy and take control of Taeyoon World.

From then on, he would officially reach Controlling Realm and be unstoppable in

Taeyoon World.

Fade did a final check on the Fire Glow Formation. After making sure everything was in order, he brought the remainder of his team back to the city. Along the way, the team walked slowly, and everyone was more relaxed.

When the city wall appeared in front of everyone, the whole team couldn't help but cheer.

After all, this was a first for these soldiers to come back victorious from such an easy battle. They had experienced no deaths nor any serious injuries. Naturally, they were all in high spirits.

However, as they continued moving forward, a black cloud of smoke suddenly appeared before them.

From the smoke, there was a faint smell of burnt meat.

"Is someone burning something? That's a lot of smoke." "Is it a barbecue? It smells like everything is burnt though."

"It can't be. It stinks. There's no way that smell is food."

While the team was talking, they continued to move forward. Then they saw a group of soldiers in armor forming a circle.

In the middle of the circle was a big fire that was causing all the smoke.

Seeing this armored team, many soldiers in the team were shocked.

"Those are Mr. Yang's personal guards!"

"Why would his personal guards be here?"

"Did they come all this way to have a barbecue? That can't be right."

Fade, who was initially feeling relaxed, suddenly became solemn when he heard these comments.

"Something's wrong!"

"Go and see what's going on ahead." Fade gave an order.

A guard immediately whipped his horse and sped ahead.

Fade led the team and continued to move forward slowly.

However, the closer he got to the fire, the stronger the burnt smell became. Fade's eyes darkened.

At this time, the guard rode back to Fade.

"0-Oracle..." The guard's face was pale, and his lips were trembling. His expression was very ugly. "What's going on?" Fade asked flatly.

The guard trembled and said, "Mr. Yang's guards... They're burning corpses."

"What?!" Fade was shocked.

The soldiers who had been talking about a barbecue instantly shifted in facial expressions. They felt their stomachs churn as they suppressed the desire to vomit. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Whose corpses?" Fade asked coldly.

The guard's voice trembled. "The women and children that we rescued from Jade Peak."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Fade couldn't help raising his tone and his face was full of shock.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't I ask someone to send them back to the city?"

The guard answered shakily, "We did, but Mr. Yang's personal guards stopped our men. They claimed that they needed to carry out an inspection."

"Apparently, those people were all

found to be spies working for the

mountain bandits. Hence, the heel

were

all executed. Now, they are dealing with the bodies."

Upon hearing this, Fade was furious. He whipped his horse and sped up toward the guards at the scene.

Arriving in front of the bonfire and

passing the guards, Fade saw

bodies piled up on the ground.

beside the bonfire. There was evidence of multiple injuries on their

bodies.

Some of the wounds were still bleeding.

Obviously, these people had just been killed moments ago.

The blood on the swords of the guards around the fire shone particularly brightly.

"Who is the captain of this team? Come out at once!" Fade shouted angrily.

The personal guards were all stunned. Simultaneously, they raised their heads to look toward Fade.

However, they all looked serious and kept silent. No one answered Fade's question.

Upon seeing this, the guards by Fade's side followed up and shouted, "This is the oracle from the imperial city, Fade."

"Did you not hear that he had just asked a question?"

Hearing his title as an oracle, some of the personal guards finally started to react.

A burly middle-aged man stood up and said, "I am the captain here, oracle."

"You are the captain!" Fade glanced at the man and then asked sternly, "Tell me, what's going on? Who asked you to kill these people?"

The captain replied loudly, "Your Excellency, these people are spies of the mountain bandits. It's our duty to kill them."

"Who told you that they are spies?" Fade questioned.

The captain was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Mr. Yang was the one who confirmed it."

"Mr. Yang! Tell me, how did he come to that conclusion?" Fade continued to ask.

This time, the captain was speechless.

After all, he was merely following Pearce's orders. He did not think too much into it.
