My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2039

"Yeah, I will," Mosley lazily replied, not wanting to listen to more.

"You can help him for a while but not forever. Do you know what you've done? Leaving that guy to die in the swordsman association might have been an act of mercy, but now..."

"I understand, I really do. But I don't have any other intentions. I'm just doing what my master told me to do…"

After a moment of silence, Mosley went back to sleep. Only Tilly remained under the moonlight. He didn't need to sleep, so he stayed on constant alert, watching those patrolling at the foot of the mountain.

...

Drakonia, Northern Territory.

"Um... this really isn't necessary."

Inside the Empire Hotel, Clint and his group were meticulously attended to by Theo.

In front of them, all the luxurious dishes made Clint feel a bit embarrassed.

"Come now, Mr. Melton! No, I mean, Clint!" Theo said cheerfully. "I never expected you to be friends with Nash! I've always wanted to meet you! This is nothing, really. Stay as long as you like and enjoy yourself. I promise you'll be well taken care of."

"Thank you, Mr. Skye," Clint replied with an awkward smile.

In the Land of Nion, a loud explosion woke everyone up. They got up to see a building in the distant city engulfed in flames.

"What... What's happening?" Alfius asked, horrified by the scene. The flames seemed almost alive, leaping from building to building.

"They've already reached here?" Tilly said, hurriedly packing his things. "We need to leave! This place is about to become their battlefield!"

Yet, the battle between the flames and the ninjas continued. The flames moved rapidly, and the ninjas followed closely.

"Ninja Law! Gale Blades!"

A huge blade, spinning with wind, was thrown at the flames. The flames merely grinned and attached themselves to the blade.

Instead of dousing the flames, the wind turned into a fiery tornado that attacked the ninjas.

"Ninja Law! Underground Movement!"

The ninjas dove underground to escape. The fiery tornado suddenly dissipated, leaving the city in ruins.

People struggled and cried for help, but it was futile.
