My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1932

"Points?!" Jake and Alfius asked in unison.

"Exactly," Nash began to explain his understanding. "If what the God of Equilibrium does is absolutely fair, then the gains must be balanced by risks. It guides us to perform tasks but also gives us choices.

"Probably because this barrier seeks absolute balance as well, all judgments are not made by the God of Equilibrium. Such subjective choices wouldn't fall under 'balance.' Instead, an objective point system is used as the basis."

Jake frowned and was deep in thought. At this moment, Alfius voiced his doubts, "Even so, these concepts are created by the God of Equilibrium. Can they truly be absolutely fair?"

"Go and count the dead and injured." Nash pointed to the crowd. "Since the wolves arrived last night, their main targets were people from our clan. All six who died were from our clan, and most of the ten injured were from our clan too.

"Let me ask you one more thing. Why is it that out of all the injured, only Sven has a high fever?"

Alfius suddenly understood. "Because he snitched?"

"Exactly!" Nash nodded. "If the concept that points gained is proportional to the danger faced is absolute, then Sven's act of snitching reduced the danger to our clan, which violates this rule. That's why only he has a high fever."

"So, what do we do next?" Jake asked.

Nash shook his head. "If we stop doing tasks, everyone will be safe. But we can't predict what will happen next week. I need to take care of Sven for a few days. His injuries aren't serious, but the persistent fever is dangerous."

"What do you think, Jake?" Alfius asked.

"Oh?" Seeing Marie's mysterious behavior, Nash was curious. "What is it?"

Marie stammered, "Yesterday... early in the morning... I found a leaf next to my bed... with writing on it in some unknown liquid. It was telling me to... leave the clan after the bonfire was lit."

"What?!" Nash was shocked. "Where's the leaf?"

Marie pulled out a crumpled leaf from her pocket. Nash took the leaf and sniffed it. Apart from the smell of sweat and the leaf itself, the scent on the writing was...

"Is this for real..."
