My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1856

The remaining fragments were in the Klein family's hands. And so, for them to get their hands on it, they would have to be eradicated.

"I'll pass the remaining fragments to you in three days," Nash said calmly.

Marius looked at Nash deeply again and then slowly said, "Nash, if you're not absolutely sure, we can wait a little longer."

He was still worried that Nash might not be a match for the Klein family. After all, they had their patriarch, who was as powerful as a god. It was he who had killed many of the Young family's top experts.

Nash could not help but laugh. "I'm not a reckless young man. You can rest assured."

Cade walked out of the room and said mockingly, "Kid, you'd better be careful with what you boast or you'll end up biting your tongue. You really have no idea how strong the Klein family is, do you?"

He then turned his gaze to Theo and asked, "Theo, didn't you tell him that the Klein family has a Profound Oriental Realm expert?"

Although he did not like Nash, the Crimson family had been friends with the Young family for a hundred years. The cultivation techniques he practiced were also gifts from the Young family to his grandfather.

He did not want to see Nash, a descendant of this family, get destroyed. It was in a way closure for his grandfather.

"I—" Just as Nash was about to respond, the sky over the small village suddenly darkened as a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire village.

Cade's expression changed dramatically as he exclaimed, "A Profound Oriental Realm expert is approaching!"

David trembled. "It's the patriarch of the Klein family, it has to be! We have to run!"

The faces of Hank and Xeno also went pale at this moment.

Coming back to his senses, Cade turned to his older brother and said, "Marius, you all should go first. I'll hold him off!"

Hank's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "Dad, are you crazy? That's a Profound Oriental Realm master. You're only at the early stage of the Mystique Loyalty Realm. How could you possibly hold him off?"

Cade's cultivation level was the goal he aspired to achieve. Achieving the grandmaster level was enough for martial artists to gain fame and fortune. A Profound Loyalty Realm martial artist was highly regarded in prestigious families while those at the Mystique Loyalty Realm would be considered honored guests.

His lifelong goal was to follow in his father's footsteps and reach the Mystique Loyalty Realm. He did not bother dreaming about the Profound Oriental Realm.

Even in Drakonia, a country of nearly two billion people, there were not many Profound Oriental Realm experts. The probability of one reaching the Profound Oriental Realm was even smaller than winning the lottery.

Ordinary martial artists could only look up to them as if they were the tallest peaks in the world.

"Nash, you were hard to find," one of the black-robed elders, Arlo Doom, said. He narrowed his eyes.

Nash calmly sipped his wine, a slight smile forming on his lips. "You're from the Church of the Netherworld?"

"I am," Arlo replied as he stood tall and proud, his posture exuding arrogance.

Nash's dark eyes flickered with amusement. "I was just thinking how hard it was to find you, yet here you are, delivering yourself to me."

Arlo flicked his wrist, and a longsword appeared in his hand. Pointing it at Nash, he coldly said, "You dare ruin the church's plans? You deserve to die!"

Arlan Doom had also drawn a seven-foot precious sword. Both men were Profound Oriental Realm experts, and their imposing auras weighed heavily on the villagers—so much so that it was making it hard for them to breathe.

The eyes of the weaker elderly folk had even rolled back to their heads as they fainted on the spot.

"Two Profound oriental Realm experts! It's over. We can't even escape now!"

Cade's face turned pale, his eyes filling with deep despair.
