My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2434

Before the match began, Damon pushed open the door to a luxurious suite.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Troyer?"

Sitting across from him was Philemon.

Philemon asked, "How does it feel to be back home?"

"Feels good."

"Does it? That's great to hear. Damon, you and I are about the same age. We grew up together, and you're like a little brother to me."

"Mr. Troyer, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare consider myself your equal."

"Alright, Damon, let's cut to the chase. I'll ask you straight—do you think you can win tomorrow?"

Damon sensed there was more to Philemon's question and cautiously replied, "That depends on who I'm up against."

Damon shook his head.

"What exactly are you saying?" Damon still did not grasp Philemon's full meaning.

Philemon pressed further. "Damon, let me ask you—do you acknowledge me as your brother?"

"O-Of course!"

"Then, would you be willing to do something for me?"

"Tell me what it is..."

"Tomorrow, help me kill Enid. Seal the power of the Mother of Immortals!"

"W-What?"

"Damon, no matter what happens, I'm on your side. Don't worry, I've got everything handled. You don't need to think about the consequences. If you agree, all you need to do is fight. Leave the rest to me!"

"But Phil..."
