My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740 

Hubert pushed both hands forward and stood up from the ground. 

Harrison tilted his head to look at the scarecrows on Hubert’s body. Smiling coldly, he said, “I was wondering who it’d be. It turns out to be you, Eric Sands…” 

At this time, Peter had taken control of Harrison completely. 

The Penta Specter Curse was Eric’s exclusive trademark technique. This was no longer a secret in the Path. 

Hubert smirked slightly. “Peter, challenge me to a duel if you’re capable. What’s the point of using the Path to harm ordinary people?” 

Harrison laughed. “I never said I was capable. If you’re capable, come to Duerson Manor to look for me!” 

Eric was famous in the National Association of Priests. 

He became a disciple of Clear Dew Court and learned the advanced 

Path techniques in just 12 years. 

At the age of 26, he created the Penta Specter Curse technique and became a Golden Amulet Master in one fell swoop. 

In terms of fighting skills, Peter was definitely not his opponent. 

However, as long as he was in Duerson Manor, backed by The 

Swordsman and Boris who were two Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists, there was nothing Eric could do to him. 

Hubert sneered. “You’re already so old. What’s the point of being so 

quick-tongued?” 

With 

that said, he took the lead and stepped forward with a single stride, hitting Harrison’s chest with his fist. 

Harrison bit his finger and drew a runic incantation on the palm of his 

left hand. He then pushed forward with a flick of his palm. 

The runic incantation on Harrison’s palm turned into an electric 

current, colliding with Hubert’s fist. 

A wave of air dispersed upon the impact, generating a loud boom. Both of them stumbled several steps back. 

Hubert’s right hand was completely charred by the electricity. Snorting coldly, he continued to charge forward with his fist clenched. 

Harrison continued to draw runic incantations on his palm, but 

Hubert had already sped up, almost leaving a residual shadow as he 

moved. 

Before Harrison could complete his incantation, Hubert’s fist hit his 

chest. 

Path techniques required the use of runes and chants, which w disadvantage because they took too long to complete in a battle. 

Eric, who possessed both Path techniques and martial arts skills, 

made up for this shortcoming. He could fight at a distance as well as 

in close combat. 

Peter majored in Path techniques, but his martial arts strength was 

extremely weak. On the other hand, Harrison did not have his own 

Pathwielder, so his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. 

If he continued this fight, he would only suffer the consequences. 

Harrison narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed himself in the heart. 

If he could not beat Eric, it was not a bad idea to kill this puppet. 

Hubert lifted his arm and shook it. One of the scarecrows turned into a ferocious specter, throwing Harrison down. 

Immediately afterward, the other four scarecrows swarmed over. 

Five specters held down Harrison’s limbs and head respectively. 

Just then, there were urgent knocks on the door, followed by an angry female voice. 

“It’s so late at night. Why are you disturbing my sleep?” 

Outside was a fat woman in pajamas. 

She was a new resident who had moved across the door. She lost a lot of money from gambling today and had nowhere to vent her anger. 

Hubert opened the door with a weak smile, “Sorry to have disturbed 

you!” 

The fat woman saw the illusive black shadows in the house from the 

corner of her eye. Her face suddenly turned white. 

She bit hard at the tip of her tongue to keep herself from fainting, but 

her fleshy and thick legs could not help but tremble. 

Hubert continued, “Would you like to come in and sit for a while?” 

“No… No need, just carry on!” 

The fat woman turned around slowly, then quickly returned to her house. 

With a bang, Hubert closed the door forcefully. 

He went straight to Harrison, bit his finger, and drew an exorcism rune on the palm of his hand. 

Just then, there wa another series of knocks on the door outside. 

Then, they could hear the sound of a key being inserted into the lock. 

The door opened, with Helena and Kai hurrying in. 

“Dad!” Helena shouted. 

The five specters shivered in fright. 

When Helena saw the five black specters, she immediately shrank behind Kai. 

Hera and Lauren were extremely anxious when they saw Harrison being pinned to the ground by the specters.
