My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2770

The two elderly men placed their last hopes on Nash. They believed Drakonia’s future would be bright with younger generations like Nash and Benedict. What they had to do was very simple—they would do whatever they could before the bright future came, even if it was not much.

They had to lead the younger generations to a bright future, even if it cost them their lives.

…

In an old apartment, a gentle-looking man with glasses was chatting with an old lady. "Look how much we've talked. I’ll come to chat with you again in two days after I’m done with my work,” he said.

The old lady chuckled happily. "Haha! Alright, it's a promise then, Cassy! I'll prepare your favorite stew for you."

"Sure, I look forward to that.”

Just then, Dusky, Nicky, and Zeodria approached them.

"You are Cassius, right?" Dusky asked.

Cassius knew what the three of them were here for but still politely said to the woman, "My friends have come to look for me. Let’s chat again next time."

The old woman nodded. "Okay, you guys go ahead. I won't interrupt.”

Cassius then followed the three down the stairs and to a parking lot nearby.

"What is it, Ruin? What's going on? Please explain,” Cassius asked.

Dusky looked at Cassius, then shot back, "Did you come up with the name 'Cassius' yourself? It's terrible."

Cassius sneered, "If anyone who didn’t know you heard you say this, they’d think you’re some sort of protector of justice. So, Ruin, you’re willing to be a pet of the Eastern gods, huh?"

Zeodria was triggered when he heard Cassius’ insult. "You bastard! Have some respect!" he roared as he picked up a big sword and rushed toward Cassius.

Just then, Cassius turned into liquid and bound Zeodria's legs.

Just as Cassius was about to attack Zeodria with godly power again, Nicky saved Zeodria with an array.

"Stay away from Zeodria!" Dusky suddenly shouted at Nicky. Immediately after that, Zeodria used the big sword to swing an attack at Nicky. Fortunately, Nicky had been prepared and used the array to teleport Zeodria somewhere far away.

Cassius scoffed at Dusky.
