My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2767

"I'm a genius technician who once fought alongside the human emperor! You still have much to learn," Nicky boasted.

Zeodria raised an eyebrow, disbelief written all over his face as he muttered, “A rebel against god becoming one in the end? This world is truly insane.”

“What are you mumbling about?!” Nicky barked.

Flustered, Zeodria waved his hands dismissively. “Ah, it’s nothing! Let’s get back to this mechanism. Dusky, what’s your plan?”

With a serious expression, Dusky laid out his thoughts. “From the moment I took on this mission, I knew there'd be some who would scout Drakonia out of impatience first. So, I prepared this in advance.

“I’ve tested this device. With the emperor’s enhancements, it can contain three to four gods. Moreover, it'll react to any unfamiliar godly power in the vicinity. Our task is simple—find that guy’s lair and eliminate him in one fell swoop.”

Nicky frowned, skepticism creeping into his voice. “Is it really that simple? Our opponent is not to be underestimated. If we just wander around simply, when will we ever find him?”

Dusky nodded, acknowledging the concern. “I’m aware of that. Don’t worry, I have my way.”

Then, he pulled out a set of coordinates from his phone. “This is one of their strongholds.”

“Where did you get this?” Nicky asked, puzzled.

“From a particularly reliable source," Dusky answered mysteriously.

Nash walked out of the conference room located at the state capital's headquarters. He had just been appointed as the personal bodyguard to Elias of the state capital. No matter what happened, he had to ensure his safety during this critical time.

As soon as he stepped out, he spotted a familiar face at the entrance. “Benedict? Long time no see!”

“Nash, why don’t you come in with me?” Benedict suggested.

“Uh… Okay…” Nash agreed and followed Benedict back into the conference room.

When Elias saw Benedict, he was quite surprised. “Oh? Do you have any updates?”

Benedict began to recount the details. “Sir Landon, we've currently located a stronghold of one of the undercover organizations. My team is conducting reconnaissance right now, and…”

Elias noticed the hesitation in Benedict’s eyes and prompted, “Feel free to speak. There’s no need to hold back.”

With that reassurance, Benedict continued his report. “I… made an independent decision. I sent people not under my command to take action. They’ve also promised to leave some members for us to interrogate.”
