Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) novel Chapter 2493

Thanos continued, "As for why we want to cooperate with you, it's because we have a common enemy"

"A common enemy?" Fade narrowed his eyes and a thought immediately crossed his mind. "Are you referring to Lion Hall?"

Thanos' expression darkened and he nodded. "Yes."

Fade thought for a while and then asked, "May I know why you are enemies with Lion Hall?"

Thanos was a little hesitant, but in the end, he answered, "This isn't much of a secret. Most of the influential people in Star City have heard of it, so I don’t mind telling you."

"We're against Lion Hall because I am the son of the Lion God of War."

Fade was taken aback at this information.

"You are the son of Hilderich, the Lion God of War? I thought he had no descendants left!" Fade exclaimed.

A fierce glint flashed across Thanos' eyes as he replied, "That rumor was deliberately spread by Lonato Ho of Lion Hall over the years."

"Lonato Ho?" Fade looked confused.

Thanos continued, "He is now the president of Lion Hall. He used to be a trusted subordinate of my father's."

"Back then, my father supported Star Island until it gained independence from Manlusia. He had a high reputation in the City. Someone even nominated my father to be the first leader of Star Island. However, my father refused to hold an official position, so he rejected it."

"My father was one of the greatest heroes contributing to the independence of Star Island. The government valued my father with great importance, and gave him quite a lot of support and benefits."

"Unfortunately, my father had fought countless wars against the strong warriors in Manlusia. Although he won all of the battles, he also suffered from injuries that were difficult to recover from.”

"It's precisely due to these injuries that my father's strength was weakened in his late years. As a result, his control on his subordinates slowly loosened."

"Later on, Dad's injuries became more and more severe. Yet, my martial arts level was far inferior to his. Back then, I had only reached the middle stage of the Heaven Level."

"Dad knew that I couldn't take over the Lion Hall that he had established. If I was to take over and become the president of Lion Hall after his passing, not only would I be unable to hold on to my position, I might be overthrown by someone else and end up in a bad state."

Fade nodded his head attentively.

He strongly agreed to the Lion God of War's judgement. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Thanos, who only had the strength of the middle stage of Heaven Level, to lead Lion Hall.

Thanos sighed and continued, "Thus, Dad decided to hand over the position of the president of Lion Hall to Lonato rather than to me. I was only the vice president."

"With this arrangement, I could avoid the repercussions about my lack of capability from my direct succession. At the same time, I could also get Lonato's support in secret. Perhaps he'd return the position to me in the future."

"Of course, this was the bright side. If my ability and prestige were not sufficient, it was also possible to choose another appropriate candidate to be the next successor."

"This was Dad's last reminder before his death. Lonato knelt in front of my father's bed and agreed to him."

"After my father's passing, Lonato took over Lion Hall."

"In the first few years, he was very respectful to me. He even placed me above the position of president and referred to me as the young master in front of his subordinates."

"I was very moved at that time and I trusted him a lot. I believed that he was completely loyal to my father and would assist me."

Thanos looked at him and thought for a few seconds. Finally, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Li, leave it up to me," Fade replied gratefully.

He then took Thanos' pulse and confirmed that his injury mainly existed in the lungs. Immediately after, he began the treatment of acupuncture.

After the acupuncture session, Fade put away his needles and said lightly, "Mr. Li, try to circulate your energy to see if there's any improvement."

Thanos surged his energy in response and pleasant surprise appeared on his face. "My injury is much better. It's not so painful anymore. This..."

"Mr. Chen, no, Magic Dr. Chen, thank you so much. I- I don't know how to thank you,"

Thanos stuttered excitedly.

Fade smiled and replied, "Mr. Li, you are too kind. It's no big deal. I hope you can feel my sincerity."

"Moreover, your injury was most likely caused by the battles years ago. Although I can ease your pain now, you have to recuperate for a long time to fully recover from it."

"I'm satisfied as long as the pain is relieved," Thanos said and then asked again, "I wonder what you intend to investigate?"

Fade did not hesitate. " I wish to investigate an organization and a person."

"An organization? A Person?" Thanos looked at him curiously.
