My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 393

“Could it be that Sherman Smugh’s master is still alive?” Theo murmured to himself.

“Who’s his master?” Nash inquired curiously.

Sherman was the Skyes’ protector. Nash had met him while assisting the Skyes with some issues. The man was cold in nature, not one for many words. He was ruthless and spoke little.

“Sherman’s master is called Carlos Lexington, the principal of Capiton Advanced Martial School. He's a peak expert of the Profound Reality Realm. Six years ago... he fell to the hands of the Martial Maniac, Sawyer Ford!”

After uttering these words, Theo took a deep breath.

The news of a stage nine great-grandmaster defeating a peak expert of the Profound Reality Realm had caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.

Even with Nash’s composure, he could not help but gasp in shock.

Killing a peak expert of the Profound Reality Realm as a stage nine great-grandmaster was akin to a toddler overpowering a muscular grown man.

“When Sawyer challenged Carlos, it took place atop the Qirin Mountain. After sustaining heavy injuries, Carlos was pushed off a cliff into rapid waters. Despite the efforts of the business, political, and martial arts communities, investing tens of billions and countless manpower, they never found Carlos’ body!”

Theo lit a cigar, taking a drag as he continued, “Six years have passed. If Carlos survived and regained his strength, he’s probably advanced to the Mystique Loyalty Realm. He might be secretly protecting Sherman!”

Upon concluding, Theo’s hand holding the cigar trembled slightly.

The Skyes boasted about having four or five stage nine great-grandmasters, but they did not have a single expert from the Profound Reality Realm.

If they could enlist Carlos, would they even need to fear the Kleins anymore?

“Who’s this Chad Mare you mentioned earlier?” Nash inquired over the phone.

Flicking off some ash, Theo shared his findings. “Chad is the son of Zeke’s older brother. He has coveted the Mares’ leadership position for a long time... However, why Chad would want Hera dead remains a mystery.”

“That’s enough information as it is! Hera’s returning to Jonford tomorrow. Until she’s back, please keep an eye on her.

“Also, intervene slightly in the Mares’ family affairs. At least until I arrive in Capiton, ensure the leadership position doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.”

Nash planned to aid his mother-in-law in securing the leadership position of the Mare family.

He knew he had to visit Capiton eventually.

...

At the Klein family's Manor No. 7, the Kleins' patriarch’s seventh son, Martin Klein, was relaxing in a private hot spring.

Jay, who was on the opposite side, was flanked by two women. He glanced at his father and asked, “Father... why are you so intent on eliminating Hera?”
