My Substitute CEO Bride

Step by step, Francis made his way toward the masked man.

His tone had been arrogant and domineering like it came from a monster in an abyss.

The masked man took two steps back in fear.

“Which family are you from?” Francis narrowed his eyes. His cold eyes were so breathtaking that the masked man felt his courage crumble. He felt a chill enveloping his entire body and could not stop shivering

Francis was an expert at the peak of the Profound Reality Realm. He was one of the guardians of the four islands of Drakonia. He was rumored to be cruel by nature and possessed a bloodthirst that went down to his core. He even once shattered foreign cruisers that approached Phoenix Island.

The masked man took a deep breath before lifting a hand to slap himself on the forehead.

His skull shattered, and he died instantly. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Seeing this, the other masked individuals also dropped their weapons one after another before killing themselves.

The Ninth Division was stunned.

Who was this man who managed to defeat a formidable figure who had reached the Profound Reality Realm with one punch? He even managed to scare the insufferably arrogant masked folks into committing suicide.

How absolutely ridiculous!

Francis walked up to the masked man and gently removed the mask from his face, only to see that his facial features were a convoluted mess as if sulfuric acid had drenched his face.

Francis raised a brow. “A kamikaze fighter.

The ten major families had spent a lot of money to cultivate kamikaze soldiers. These soldiers were not afraid of death, and their duties were to protect the family. These families would not have dispatched them unless necessary.

Francis turned to look at Judas. “Is the thing still there?”

Judas nodded and replied nervously, “It’s still here. Thank you, Lord Guardian!”

Francis smiled and said, “It’s fortunate that my junior, Nash, managed to notify me in time. Your life would’ve been forfeited otherwise.”

After saying that, he turned into an afterimage and disappeared.

Judas was startled.

Junior? Nash?

Nash was Francis’ junior?

A long time passed before Judas finally regained his composure. He then murmured to himself, “No wonder that kid has such terrifying strength at such a young age…”

In Royal Bay, after everyone, including Nash, finished their breakfast, Harrison asked Lauren and Hera to stay at home with Yvonne. He then headed to the company alone.

James came out while dragging his suitcase and said, “Today is the anniversary of my father’s death. I have to go back and pay his grave a visit. Yvonne, do you plan to go back with me or will you stay in Jonford for a while?”

Yvonne bit her finger. “I-I want to stay here a few more days!”

James smiled and replied, “Alright, then I’ll pick you up in a few days.” He then looked at Lauren again and said earnestly, “I’ll go back and try to persuade the old man again. It’s been so many years since you married. He should be calm now.”

“Thank you, James.” Lauren was both happy and scared.

She was happy that her relationship with her brothers had eased but was afraid that her father would still refuse to forgive her. He was a man as stubborn as a mule.

Harrison booked the plane ticket for James and then sent him to the airport himself.

Maria came in, worriedly asking, “The thief sneaking around outside last night is outside our house. Should we alert the police?”

Lauren’s and Hera’s expressions abruptly changed as the two of them looked at Nash at the same time.

“I’ll go out and take a look.”

When Nash walked out of the villa, he immediately saw a man in a suit sitting in the park a hundred

meters away.

He walked over to the park quickly and asked coldly, “What are you trying to do now?”

“I… I was unable to complete the task Royal Biotech entrusted me with. I failed to get the 4.7 million reward.” The man in the suit lowered his head, not daring to meet Nash’s gaze.

“What does that have to do with me?” Nash found it rather hilarious. Was this not a blatant attempt at scamming him?

The man in the suit summoned up his courage and look into Nash’s eyes. “I… I can offer you my life! I studied at Northdale Mountain for 16 years. Now, I’ve reached the peak of a stage six great- grandmaster and am only one step away from becoming a stage seven great-grandmaster!”
