My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2541

On this day, there was no joy or laughter in Hydra Hill. Everyone was grieving Linden's departure.

During Linden's lifetime, all his juniors and seniors had received his care. If any of the juniors were assigned any heavy labor, he would always be the first to offer help. He also respected his seniors immensely.

Two doormen heard something while patrolling at night. They waited and looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be Keshawn. He had been hiding indoors and crying all day.

"You bastard… How could you… How could you..."

At this time, the two doormen opened the door.

"Keshawn, are you okay..."

Keshawn gathered his emotions, wiped his tears, and then turned to look at the two people outside the door. He pretended like nothing happened.

"Oh, Rohan and Liesel! What's up?"

Liesel said, "We just—"

"Oh, it's nothing!" Rohan immediately interrupted. "W-We just came to see if you were asleep. Sorry to disturb you. Please rest well."

"Oh, okay..."

As the doormen walked out of Keshawn's house, Liesel asked in confusion, "Why didn't you let me finish?"

Rohan said, "Forget it, Liesel. Keshawn hasn't recovered from Linden's passing yet, so let's not say too much."

"Oh, okay."

"Yeah, let's go to the next spot. After another round, let's go back to sleep."

"Alright."

…

Inside Casimir's house in the courtyard, Nash's and Clint's eyes widened as if they had experienced something.

"What's going on? If the one who set up the array is not within it, my punch should be able to break open the array, so why is the barrier still intact?

"What's going on? I’m afraid I might have fallen into a trap. In other words, the one who set up the array is within it, but I just can't see them.

"Wait… He’s invisible, but he exists… Oh no..."

Whistler thought of something. He immediately stepped on the ground and opened his array. Then, in just a short moment, the barrier began to shrink rapidly.

He gasped before saying, "As expected, the array is able to absorb space. What good timing that I just learned this skill from Mr. Melton!"

Whistler set up an array and used another one to escape from the barrier.

"Sure enough, it can absorb space and true energy, but it has no effect on other arrays that are non-attack. The extreme shrinkage is just to better perceive the attack, so it shrinks to the same size as my array."

Whistler looked at the array that had trapped him earlier. From the outside, the array looked like a pot lid.

"Is the perpetrator inside?"
