My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2645

Dusky's words were like a stab to the heart. It was an undeniable fact. Yes, Xenoth was afraid. He was afraid that he would fail and the world would be in chaos.

However, Dusky snapped him out of it by saying forcefully, "Your Majesty, look at you now!"

Xenoth lifted his head in response, thinking, 'Dusky is the one being suppressed now, but why is he not panicking at all?’

Dusky continued, "After you became the divine emperor, you turned your teammates, the ones who fought along with you, into gods. Why are some of them planning to leave now?

"Because they know that you're no longer the person they once knew. They only stayed with you for so long because they had harbored hope for you. Now, they’ve accepted the reality!

"Your Majesty, look at Nash, then look around you. Is this what you want? Is there no chance for a weak person to become strong?"

Xenoth was silent.

Dusky continued, "I know what you're thinking. The human race doesn't have the absolute power to fight or defeat the gods of the West. You're doing it for their own good because you don’t want any more innocent sacrifices.

Xenoth was silent for a while, then sighed.

This suggestion was sincere and honest. There was nothing Xenoth could say to refute. He had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Alright, let me see where that guy's fate will bring him."

…

"Fredwyn Gin..." Only then did Otto remember. Fredwyn was the master of the Swift Martial Sect, one of the martial arts sects in Riverdown, Central District.

"I see. I wonder why you came here this time?" Otto asked in a careful manner.

Reese went straight to the point and said bluntly, "Master Thorin, I'm here to ask for something."

"Oh? What is it?" Otto had a bad feeling.

Reese shouted loudly at this time, "I’m here for the treasure of this mountain—the Light Reflector Mirror!"

Otto was immediately worried upon hearing this.

Many thoughts swam through his head. Who was this man? What did he want with the mirror? How did he even know about the mirror? Was he really a member of the Swift Martial Sect? However, the man did look like a sect member…
