My Substitute CEO Bride

Harkin spoke in a raspy tone, a fearful look appearing in her scarlet-colored eyes.novelbin

The burly man said in a low voice, "I'll go get Nash!"

Harkin shook her head. "It's too late for that!"

A gleeful look appeared in Jacques' eyes.

It served them right!

Were they not all cocky just now?

Now, they were panicking?

After watching for a while, he figured out who belonged to which camp.

His martial junior was obviously on the same side as the one wielding the Shura Soul-Eating Spear.

If the one wielding the Shura Soul-Eating Spear could kill the man named Nash Calcraft, Kieran would be fine.

...

Alexander gripped his hands around his spear, a twisted grin on his face as he said, "You forced me to do this, Nash. I'd like to see what you'll use to use to fight me!"

The Shura Soul-Eating Spear quivered as green-colored wisps of energy emanated from Alexander's body.

The Soul-Eating Spear was continuously sapping energy from Alexander.

In the blink of an eye, Alexander's hair turned from being black to completely white.

Wrinkles appeared all across his body. In seconds, he had gone from being an energetic young man to a skeletal-looking old man.

Countless wild animal projections burst forth from the spear. Each projection emanated a terrifying aura. For a moment, ghastly wails rang through the air. That terrifying sound traveled through the skies. Sound waves slowly rippled outward, and the sword energies Nash had produced actually began crumbling as the sound waves attacked them.

Nash looked like he had been struck by thunder, and his eyes widened. These projections were the souls of demonic beasts.

Just sound waves alone were enough to neutralize his killer move.

What would happen if those souls attacked him instead? How powerful would they be? The sounds of the terrifying roars reverberated through the whole of Capiton. Countless Capiton citizens hid in their homes, trembling.

Meanwhile, the villagers living in the

villages near the Klein family's castle were seared out of their wits. Swaddled babies cried non-stop while slightly older children shrieked

and sobbed.

...

At the top of the Petro family's tall building, Henrik and Alberic stood and gazed in the direction of the Klein family's castle.

Alberic asked in a low voice, "What sort of weapon is this powerful?"

Henrik replied in an equally low voice, "The Shura Soul-Eating Spear!"

Alberic's eyes widened slightly. "Isn't the Shura Soul-Eating Spear the Young family's family heirloom?"

Henrik replied calmly, "Alexander assassinated the Young family. Would it be weird that he got hold of the Shura Soul-Eating Sword?"

Alberic had nothing to say to that. Then, he asked, "Henrik, who do you think will win this battle?"

Henrik did not hesitate before

replying, "Alexander, for sure. The Shura Soul-Eating Sword is a divine weapon that can kill even an

immortal who has achieved the Tribulation Realm. It's much more powerful than any immortal weapon!"

Alberic shook his head as he said ruefully, "We should've attended Alexander's birthday celebration!"

Nash's failure meant the Klein family would regain power, and the Petro family would likely be targeted by them.

Then, Henrik added, "Let's observe for a little longer. Luck has always been on Nash's side. Perhaps a plot twist is incoming!"

...

At the State Capital building, countless high-ranking officials sat in Conference Room 1, their gazes fixed on the massive projector.

Tristan and Otis had already received over 30 phone calls.

All of them were inquiries about where those terrifying-sounding roars were coming from.

Both parties' key figures had

requested an investigation be

launched to find out the truth, but

those requests were turned down by

the spokesmen of both sides.

The monitor merely showed the changing of the clouds as the battle progressed. Nash and Alexander could not be spotted.

Despite that, Kaden and Elias still continued staring at the screen intently.

If Nash won, that would be a cause for celebration.

If Nash lost, Drakonia would be plunged into a state of danger.

New Year's was fast approaching, and the outcome of Nash's battle would determine the extent of their celebrations.

Tristan abruptly asked, "General Landon, Capiton is in a state of terror now. What should we tell the citizens?"
