My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 506

At one of the mansions in Royal Bay.

Everyone except Xeno was present.

Finn lay on a single bed.

A thin blanket was placed over him.

His right cheek was the one that had gotten slashed by the poisonous arrow, and it had swelled up. The wound was infected and filled with pus.

Tears welled in Yasmin’s eyes. “Can… Can Finn be saved?”

The image of Finn catching her was still fresh in her mind.

Finn had gotten in danger because he was trying to protect the industrial zone.

Derek said comfortingly, “Nash is here. Finn will be alright!”

Melody said angrily, “I never imagined these distinguished factions to be so evil as well!”

After all, Carrion Mountain was supposed to be a sacred space. Who would have thought it housed such insidious and cunning disciples?

Not only had they attacked without any forewarning, but they had also lathered their arrows with poison!

Her respect for Carrion Mountain had reduced greatly.

Nash stroked his chin and said, “They might hail from Carrion Mountain, but that does not necessarily mean they’re part of the Cloud Ascendant Palace!”

“Isn’t the Cloud Ascendant Palace the only faction that resides in Carrion Mountain?” Melody asked, confused.

“The Cloud Ascendant Palace is relatively famous in the martial arts sphere, but there are plenty of others that fly under the radar as well.

"Take Tili Mountain as an example. It houses a multitude of factions that claim to be powerful, but only a few are truly able to live up to their name!”

“Then, where did they get the Five Poisonous Pines from?” Melody asked, her curiosity piqued.

“The Five Poisonous Pines is a banned drug in the Cloud Ascendant Palace. It would be hard for members to get their hands on it unless they were a key council member of the faction!

“My hunch is that they’re being led by a council member who snuck out from the Cloud Ascendant Palace. That person must've brought along either the Five Poisonous Pines or the formula for it with them!”

Things seemed much clearer to Nash in hindsight. The Cloud Ascendant Palace had plenty of rules and regulations in place, and it was not an easy feat to leave the premises—let alone bring the Five Poisonous Pines along with them.

Melody nodded. “Let’s save Finn’s life before we continue this discussion!”

Nash sighed inwardly.

He had been careless this time.
