My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2416

Fabian stepped out of the antique shop. He glanced back, and his attention was caught by a purple-gold signboard.

"Violet Hidden Pavilion... Sir, are you still unwilling to show yourself?"

At that moment, Avery appeared beside Fabian.

"How did it go?" Fabian asked urgently.

Avery shook his head.

"No luck. I couldn't find my way in at all. It looks like the entire street is under the family's control. There are barriers and formations in place. Mr. Hughes, what should we do next?"

Fabian sighed and waved his hand.

"We'll come back when the opportunity arises. Looks like the order isn't here right now, and the item we're looking for probably isn't here either."

"Are we just going to leave like this?"

"Of course not. This matter between Universal Group and that family isn't over yet. Avery, contact Sterling and the others. I'll find it, even if that means we have to turn Culture Street on its head."

Avery looked a bit worried.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but there are far too many protective arrays and barriers in this area. I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here undercover for long—"

"Who said I want to stay undercover?" Fabian interrupted coldly. "What I want is simple. I want to outlast him."

"What do you mean?"

Fabian pointed to his own company's building across from Cultural Street.

"You don't need to hide anything from now on, but you must ensure 24-hour surveillance on every move that family makes. If you're tired, you can rest at the company. Do you understand?"

Avery nodded, then concealed himself and left.

Fabian slowly walked out of Culture Street, turning his head to look back. He could sense several eyes watching him from the shadows. Fabian smiled.

Now, a pressing issue arose. On the final day, the number of applicants would surely break records again. How could they accommodate tens of thousands of people in one venue?

At that moment, Dusky appeared.

Maxim immediately sensed trouble. Could Dusky have figured out his plan? It did not seem likely. However, Dusky's intervention could disrupt Maxim’s scheme. Regardless, Maxim remained determined to continue.

Dusky had noticed the massive number of participants from where he was above and came to address the problem of the venue size.

Thresmund was overjoyed when he heard that.

"Really? Master, that would be a great help!"

Dusky pulled out a string of beads from his hand.

"This belonged to the God of Balance."

"And what does it do?"
