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

Chapter 2568

On the other hand, Fade persisted in his search for an entire day, but he still could not find any useful clues.

Just as he was overwhelmed with discouragement, he received a call from Celine.

"Mr. Chen, I've got something!"

As soon as she said that, he perked up in excitement. His eyes widened.

"What is it?" He asked.

She said, "Using the Sacred Hall's resources, I uncovered the person in the photo. He left Mist City last night by boat. According to the information, the place he's headed for is most likely an island called Modeland."

"An island?" He was somewhat surprised.

She continued, "Modeland Island is located southwest of Earland, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Although it's nominally part of Earland, it's mainly inhabited by aborigines. Mr. Chen, it's very likely that the person you're looking for is there."

"I'll send you the specific details."

"I'm eternally grateful," Fade said in thanks.

Celine's laughter tinkled over the line. "Mr. Chen, I haven't thanked you yet for the cosmetics you gave me that time!"

After he hung up, he received a text message from her.

He read it and immediately instructed Aiden to make arrangements for him to go to Modeland Island himself right away.

Aiden immediately followed his order.

An hour later, Fade boarded the helicopter prepared by Aiden, and flew directly to Modeland Island.

Modeland Island was a poor island, but tourism and certain other industries had developed there in recent years. That being said, there were still no direct flights to Modeland Island from Earland. The only direct way there was by boat.

Moreover, at that time, no boats were running.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Nheless, Aiden managed to pull some strings to get Fade a private helicopter to fly alone directly to Modeland Island.

After expressing his gratitude, Fade packed up and boarded the helicopter to Modeland Island.

After a few hours of flight, the sky had become completely dark. The helicopter soon landed on Modeland Island.

Fade got off the helicopter and moved towards the villa that Aiden had booked for him.

There, he did not rest, but immediately looked for the owner to learn about the situation on the island.

He quickly got a rough guess of what it was like on Modeland Island.

The island spanned more than 2,000 square kilometers. It wasn't a small area at all. There were only around 20,000 natives on the island at first. However, in recent years, because of the development of the tourism industry, there was an influx of foreigners. The population on the island was currently above 30,000.

Most of the people on the island depended on the tourism and fishing industries for a living, so most of them were gathered near the port on the coast.

The vast forest in the center of the island was rarely visited.

It was exactly as Fade had suspected.

The mountainous forest area, difficult for ordinary people to enter, could very well be used as the Skull Mob's hideout.

The numerous residents on the island meant that the Skull Mob could easily acquire provisions there. Secondly, they could use all sorts of underhanded tactics to increase their strength. They only required the human population as a cultivation resource.

Looking at it from that angle, the possibility grew that the Skull Mob would gather on Modeland Island.

Thus, Fade queried the owner of the villa about the forest area, preparing to check it out the next day.

However, when the villa owner heard his question, he asked in return, "Mr. Chen, why are you asking this?"

Fade made up an excuse. "I'm an explorer who has ventured all over the world. I heard that these places are less explored. I want to go explore there."

At that, the villa owner quickly persuaded him, "Mr. Chen, you'd better not go to that forest. It's dangerous."

"It's okay. I've been to many forests across the world. I've even been to the Amazon rainforest. The forest here should not be a problem. Besides, I'm a professional." Fade patted his chest confidently.

The villa owner lowered his voice. "Mr. Chen, the danger I'm referring to is of a different kind."

"What kind?" Fade asked.

The villa owner looked hesitant. Fade took out a stack of bills and handed it to him.

Delighted, the villa owner confessed, "Mr.

Chen, that forest is a bit strange."

"How so?"

The villa owner said, "I heard that it's haunted. In the past two decades, some people have entered the forest accidentally and never came back. Rumor has it that they were captured by ghosts. Some others say that they lost their way and died in the woods. Whatever it is, it's dangerous there." Fade's suspicions grew when he heard that.

"Hasn't anyone intervened?"

The villa owner sighed. "There was one year when more than 30 people disappeared all of a sudden, causing a panic on the island. A report was sent to the officials of Earland. Following that, the government sent professionals to investigate the forest."

"However, the professionals were

et

unable to find anything. They had no other choice but to return empty- handed. Afterwards, some rich people came here, bought several pieces of the land, and had them converted to private territories. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter anymore. Only then did the number of missing people decrease."

"Wealthy people buying land here?" Fade thought that the whole matter was becoming more and more fishy.

The villa owner explained, "They

were all loaded. They bought all the land one after another. After buying the land, they had the areas sealed off and did not allow ordinary people to enter. Plus, many of the estates on the island have been acquired by those same rich people. Essentially, most people on the island are working for them."

"Mr. Chen, even if you really want to

explore the forest, you must go through the territory of those

wealthy people to enter the forestet

you

Thus, you have to build a good relationship with them before you can explore it. Otherwise, if they don't agree to it, you can't go in, Mr. Chen."

"I see!" Fade thought to himself.

After that, he took out another stack of bills and thanked the villa owner.

The next day, Fade got up early in the morning and strolled around the market on the island, but he found nothing unusual.

Hence, he prepared himself to go to the wealthy people's territory, as suggested by the villa owner.

Just as he was about to leave, someone exclaimed all of a sudden, "Why are you here?"

He traced the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a scarf and sunglasses looking at him.

He could not recognize her at first glance.

However, when he saw the two other women with her, he could pinpoint who she was. It was Minerva, the woman who bought the pendant at the

auction.

"Are you following us?" Halina asked, looking at him warily.

He frowned slightly and said, "You're overthinking things."

"Then why are you here?" Halina continued to press him. Her glare grew sharper, and she suddenly seemed like she was about to

attack him.
