My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2764

Nash raised his head. "Master, what..."

Johnathan, however, had quietly left. Left with no other choice, Nash answered his phone.

"Sir Landon? What’s going on?"

"Nash, what I’m about to tell you concerns the survival of the nation. Listen carefully."

...

In a luxury suite of a high-end hotel, a man in a suit was tied to a chair. Surrounding the chair were symbols resembling a formation.

Zeodria fished out the man’s passport. "So, he really is from Nihon… Impressive, Dusky."

Sitting on the couch, Dusky was looking through the man’s laptop when he spoke up, "This guy’s just a pawn. It’s probably not as simple as we think."

Nicky pointed at Dusky. "Aren’t you the God of Memories? Why don’t you just look into this guy’s memory?"

Dusky chuckled. "If you could think of that, don’t you think the other gods would have set something to prevent it?"

Nicky was speechless.

Dusky continued, "I used up too much power in the recent god selection event. I can’t bypass the other gods' powers to look into someone’s memory now. So, we have no choice but to resort to this."

Dusky's words stirred suspicion in Nicky.

“Is that really the case?” Nicky questioned.

Dusky did not bother explaining further. He was not interested in arguing with Nicky, especially when there were more urgent matters at hand. After combing through the man’s laptop, however, Dusky’s expression turned grim.

In the next instant, a surge of godly power erupted from the man, followed by an explosion. The man in the suit was instantly reduced to ashes.

The godly power bomb within the suited man did not break the barrier that Zeodria had set up, but it certainly served as a sobering lesson for both him and Nicky. This situation was far more complex than they had initially imagined.

Dusky looked at their stunned expressions and said gravely, “Alright, listen carefully to what I’m about to say.

"Nicky, you don’t trust me, and that’s fine. I’m not bothered by it. But there’s one thing you must understand—when I tell you to run, you run. There was enough godly power in just a pawn like him to destroy everything here. Do you understand the seriousness?

“Now, let me share everything I’ve uncovered so far. Right now, we’re surrounded on all sides. Apart from a few countries that have yet to declare their stance, most of the world has already chosen to follow Gorgeous Country's lead. This means there are very few neighboring countries that can be trusted at this point.

“They’re infiltrating Drakonia relentlessly. They're trying to encircle the nation and eventually annihilate it.”

The gravity of these words left both Zeodria and Nicky extremely tense.
