My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 801

Dalton twisted his body.

Felicity smiled and said, "That package on your back is the Eight-Part Scepter, no? Can you lend it to me for a couple of days?"

Lend it to her for a couple of days? Did she think it was a toy?

If news about the Eight-Part Scepter were to get out, it would only lead to chaos and conflict between the righteous and the evil. Moreover, poor handling of the scepter could also pose a life-threatening risk to the user.

Dalton shook his head and said, "This thing is very dangerous. I can't lend it to you."

Felicity frowned. "To tell you the truth, a ghoul overlord has appeared in Jonford, and only your Eight-Part Scepter can deal with it!

“About ten years ago, Johnathan killed the last ghoul overlord in the world on Tili Mountain. There shouldn’t be another one appearing in this era of peace,” Dalton said with a quiet smile as he thought to himself how lame the woman’s excuse was. Did she take him for a fool?

Felicity hurriedly replied, "I'm not lying to you. I swear to the heavens. If even a word of what I said is a lie, then I… I'll remain unmarried for life!"

As the deputy chief of the Inspection Office, Dalton took her words to be true after she swore by it.

Still, did that person on Tili Mountain not already kill the thousand-year-old ghoul overlord?

After a moment of silence, Dalton’s expression turned serious as he asked, "Who told you this?"

"Nash told me so,” Felicity admitted, thinking that Dalton might have heard of him since he was so famous.

"Nash?" Dalton muttered with a lowered brow, "Could it be the same Nash I know?"

Dalton scratched his bald head, a mixture of emotions churning in him. Having returned to secular life for many years, he was no longer the priest who only knew how to recite scriptures.

He had been roaming freely in the secular world for years now, enjoying the pleasures of family life. What did compassionate and virtuous deeds have to do with him?

The Eight-Part Scepter was a treasure of Mythism. With this treasure on him, he could go anywhere—as far as the heavens and the earth. If he lent it out, it would be like him throwing a bone to a dog. It would be gone forever.

Seeing Dalton stuck in a dilemma, Felicity continued, "Think about when you took the path of Mythism. What did the elders at the monastery teach you?"

Dalton’s face twitched slightly. He recalled all of his master’s benevolent teachings that were delivered with compassion.

"You were born with wisdom, but your attachments run deep. I gave you your new name, Skylar, hoping you'll let go of worldly distractions, engage in virtuous deeds, and spread blessings everywhere!"
