My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2627

"You scoundrel! Have you been using me all along?"

Troy found himself on the brink of death several times thanks to Rocco's powerful and lethal attacks.

However, because he had channeled the power of the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram, the parasitic poison injected into his body determined that the host was dead and thus became a part of Troy.

This was the reason for his sudden surge in strength.

"Death after death, just like shedding a cocoon. Right, Rocco?!" Troy then launched another attack.

Rocco found himself in a difficult position, unsure whether to fight back or not. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and noticed that his skin had been significantly eroded by the parasitic poison.

"When did this happen... Could it be..."

"It hurts, right? Come on! For every punch you throw at me, I'll return it double!" Troy's attacks were laced with parasitic poison, but Rocco had not perceived it during the first wave because Troy had yet to learn how to control the parasitic poison.

However, after his second death, his attacks could indeed inflict damage due to the parasitic poison.

"You scoundrel! Watch me kill you with one punch!" Rocco gathered his strength and threw a punch.

Troy met the punch head-on, activating his true energy defense. Yet, it still could not withstand the force of the attack, which pierced through Troy's right chest. However, the leaking parasitic poison made Rocco quickly retract his arm.

"This guy is deliberately making me attack... Damn it, so that's how it is..." Protecting his left side with his right, Troy faced the blow, sustaining an injury but avoiding death. In doing so, he successfully faked his own death once again.

"This... How is this possible... Why can't I kill you?" Rocco charged at Troy in a frenzy.

At that moment, Troy's punch was enough to send Rocco tumbling.

"I'm fine. I'm still alive. I can't deactivate the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram right now... Once I do, it's over for me. I can hold on for a while longer, so don't worry."

Amy looked at Troy with concern. Even though he claimed to be fine, it was hard to believe he truly was. "If it gets too serious, I'll call an ambulance."

"No way!" Troy firmly rejected the idea. "I can't let ordinary people come into contact with me, or they'll get infected by the parasitic poison in my body."

"Then, what now..."

They heard a sound, and it was accompanied by a flash of light.

The two turned to the side, watching as Rocco's body rapidly dissipated, revealing something emerging from within...
