My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2043

"Then what is it?" Nash asked impatiently.

"Master Nash, since you’ve been training with Master Calcraft, have you ever heard of a priest clan called Crossover Judges?”

Nash was stunned for a moment before he nodded.

"This profession does exist. These people can see the souls of the dead from a young age. They can also communicate with them in their sleep. Most importantly, these judges can accept requests from the dead, and once the judges fulfill their requests, those souls will be at the judges’ disposal at will.”

Mosley said with a smile, "Not bad. You know a lot. But there's another more troublesome matter."

"What is it?" Nash asked.

"The judges have such powerful ability, but they can't choose who they want to accept requests from, which means they're forced to perform all requests. On top of that, some souls would have too much resentment that would affect all surrounding areas. These judges must also dispel the resentment in the affected area."

"By that, you mean..." Nash looked at Mosley's dark eye circles and said, "The Land of Nion has become a place with strong and heavy resentment? But this is a transnational business, right? Is it under your control as well?"

Mosley smiled. "Transnational business? Haha! Master Nash, you're quite clever with your words. I'm not the only judge in the world, of course. We've been distributed all over the world, but we can sense each other's existence. However, the judge in the Land of Nion died a violent death recently!”

"Violent death?!" Nash was shocked as he continued, "If I remember correctly, my master once said that a judge's strength must not be underestimated due to their long-term absorption of dead souls.

"Take yourself as an example. Apart from the power you’ve retained, you should at least be at the Divine Sojourn Realm now, right?”

Mosley replied, "Yes, almost. But even so, the local judge suddenly died. When I arrived, I discovered that the Eastland of Nion had long become a gathering place of resentment, and the current scale has reached a situation that is beyond my control.

"If this continues, the surrounding countries will soon be affected."

Nash took a long drag of the cigarette and then stamped it out. "So, you asked me to come instead? But I'm not familiar with your profession."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to dispel the resentment. Just leave this task to me and my colleagues."

"Colleagues?"

Nash was filled with rageful hatred. He thought he had defeated the Illuminion and those guys fled, but he was the one who was taken for a fool. He had been deceived by them.

"Do you mean that people from the Illuminion killed the judge of the Land of Nion?" Nash asked.

"It's highly possible that Ace, the one you faced before, isn't their strongest combat force. He's more like a muscle man used as cannon fodder.

"Those generals you met from the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties? Their purpose is to give everyone the impression that the Illuminion had been defeated. They were an elaborate ruse.”

"In that case, I agree to help you!" Nash's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth twitched. His expression was extremely solemn.

"This time, we must completely eliminate the Illuminion!"

"Sure, but you may have to endure some trouble before that happens, Master Nash."
