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

Chapter 2592

"Right now, I've mastered over 20,000 streaks of martial essence. Although I haven't officially advanced to the Lord Level, my strength is already no less than some Lord Level martial artists."

"But I feared the thing in the Sacred Hall. What exactly is that!"

Fade thought for a moment then shook his head. He let out a long sigh and rushed back.

Returning to the hotel, he washed up and then received a call from Saintess Celine.

"Fade, are you okay? Are you hurt? Is it serious?"

He replied, "Don't worry, Saintess. I'm not injured. I'm safe back in the hotel."

"It's good that you're not injured!" On the other end of the phone, Celine breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked, "Then how was your fight with Jerome? He hasn't returned to the Sacred Hall yet, and we can't get in touch with him either. Right now, everyone in the Sacred Hall is looking for him."

He narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then said, "Does the Saintess prefer the truth or a lie?"

She stared blankly for a moment, and then she asked, "What kind of lie is it?"

"If you want the lie, I fought with Jerome, and no one won. In the end, we went our separate ways. As for where he went, I don't know," he responded faintly.

Hearing this, she lapsed into silence. She had already guessed what had happened.

Still, she asked, "What about the truth?"

His tone sank and there was a sharp chill in his voice. "The truth is that I killed Jerome and there's nothing left of him!"

"Ah!"

Even though she had guessed it, she couldn't help but exclaim.

He said faintly, "You're shocked. Well, this is the truth. How do you want to deal with it? Are you going to report it to the upper echelon of the Sacred Hall?"

"I..." She was hesitant.

He spoke up, "You're the Saintess. You should report this. I understand and I won't blame you. Besides, since I killed Jerome, I'm ready to bear the consequences."

She seemed to have made a decision and said, "I-1 won't report it. Just pretend that I didn't call you. I don't know anything."

"Do you really want to do this?" He was somewhat surprised.

She replied, "Jerome set you up and even wanted to kill you. It's normal for you to fight back and kill him. I can understand."

"Thank you for your understanding." Fade's tone became a little gentler. "However, if the upper echelon of the Sacred Hall asks, you don't have to cover for me. Just tell the truth."

"But if that's the case, you'll be in danger..." Celine said emotionally.

He chuckled and said, "You can't hide this forever. They will find out about Jerome's death soon. Since I was the last person to fight him, they'll easily know that I killed him."

"Well, what should we do? Why don't I ask Princess Erin to beg the Sacred Lord on your behalf? Perhaps there'll be a turn for the better," she suggested.

"I appreciate your kindness. However, there's no need to bother. I'm not afraid even if you blame me," he said.

After hanging up, he rested in the hotel room.

While the news of Jerome's death didn't spread on a large scale, the families and those in power knew about it.

The death of a Sacred Hall disciple naturally caused a heated discussion.

The focus of the discussion included Fade, who was the most suspicious killer.

The Sacred Hall even sent people to question him, but he said that he didn't know anything. Then, the Sacred Hall stopped sending people over.

As for the Walton family, during this period of time, they had been sending people to follow Fade for 24 hours a day. They didn't sleep at all. After all, he was the bane of the Walton family.

First, Renny's marriage and dantian abdomen were destroyed by him. Many years of martial arts cultivation had become a waste.

As such, Jerome became the pride

of Sacred Hall and the hope of the

Walton family. After the fight with Fade, he disappeared without a

trace. It was highly likely thathe had been killed.

In such circumstances, the Walton family's resentment towards Fade had reached its limit.

Many members of the Walton family threatened to kill him as retaliation.

However, these urges were suppressed by Marquis Walton.

As a marquis, he knew that his family wouldn't be able to deal with Fade, even though he had killed Jerome.

Amidst discussions, doubts, and resentment, Fade waited for the day of the Sword in the Stone ceremony.

That morning, Celine personally came to pick him up from the hotel, and then went to the manor of Princess Erin. After that, she dressed him up. After having lunch in the manor, they took a carriage to the royal family's manor where the Sword in the Stone was located.

Two hours later, Fade arrived at the manor. He could feel the presence of numerous high-ranking martial artists even before he stepped out.

It was indeed a royal ceremony. The level of security was really different.

After a series of strict examinations, he and the others finally entered the manor.

The manor was very old, but everyone present was very respectful.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

That was due to the rumor that this was the castle where King Arthur used to reside.

Fade accompanied Celine and Erin for a stroll while listening to their introductions of the relatives of the royal family.

Finally, it was nightfall. The ceremony was about to begin.

The backyard of the manor that had previously been sealed had finally been opened. The eyes of many members of the royal family and noble families lit up as they entered.

The backyard wasn't very big and it was still covered with the primeval soil. The weeds in the surrounding area appeared to be a little messy. However, everyone who entered looked serious and respectful.

At that moment, their gazes were focused on the square stone in the center of the backyard.

A long sword, that was half a meter long, was inserted into a stone that was nearly a meter in height and a meter wide.

The sword was stained with dust, rust, and moss, which made it look very shabby, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of respect and attracted the eyes of everyone present.

"Is that the Sword in the Stone? Why doesn't it look special?" Fade whispered with some doubts.

Celine explained to him in a low

voice, "The Sword in the Stone looks

ordinary, but legends say it has

miraculous effects. It can increase

one's strength and make one submit. It doesn't have positive energy but it's an indescribable thing."

"It's so mysterious!" He exclaimed.

"The Sword in the Stone is a legendary item to begin with. It's mysterious."

"You're right!" He nodded.

"What's the next step? Do I go up and draw the sword?" He asked as he felt a little bored.

She gave him a look, and then said, "You'll know when you see it."
