My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2625

"But what? What do you mean?"

"It's probably going to cost a lot of money…"

Troy smiled. "Just spend the money. Dorothy, you're like our sister, so what if it costs money? Don't worry, I'll contact Goldspin Commerce to cover the amount."

"R-Rreally?"

"Of course. Just trust me."

"Troy, you're so kind!" Dorothy then pulled out a small wooden stick from her hand.

"Here, this is for you." A bright smile lit up Dorothy's face.

Troy took the stick, feeling a bit confused.

"What is this?"

"Troy, don't you remember? It's the little stick we used during training before."

Troy recalled it. "Oh, that's right. Our sticks wouldn't react at all while everyone else could crush theirs with true energy. Why are you still carrying this with you?"

"Troy, although it's not a precious gift, this stick and this…" Dorothy pulled out another item from her hand. It was a beautifully crafted trinket that resembled a cocoon. "I… I know these things aren't worth much, but… I really don't know how else to repay you.

"Troy, thank you so much for keeping us from living those hopeless days. This is my way of thanking you."

Troy looked at Dorothy with affection. "Don't be silly. Why are you always so polite?"

"No, Troy, I'm not being polite; I genuinely appreciate you. I found this stone when I went out to play by the river six months ago and carved it into a trinket." Dorothy attached the stick to the stone trinket.

Then, with a childlike innocence, she said, "Here, this is for you."

Troy accepted the gift. "Six months ago? You worked on this for so long?"

"Hehe, I made one for everyone. But Raylee's isn't finished yet. He picked a stone that was too big, so it'll take some time."

"Ah, that useless stone? I tossed it somewhere a long time ago."

"Oh, I see…"

Suddenly, Troy laughed.

Rocco cursed at the deranged Troy before him, "Are you crazy? Do you want to die? I can make that happen!"

Rocco's fist came crashing down again.

This time, Troy struggled to block the terrifying blow with both hands.

"Yeah, I really am crazy for still harboring any illusions about you. I really am… insane…"

Then, Troy sidestepped and jumped away. From inside his clothing, he pulled out the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram.

"Raylee, Dorothy, and everyone else, watch closely!"
