My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 870

Nash reached out into the air and an apple from the fruit tray on the coffee table flew into his hand. He took a bite and chewed thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Hera disclosed the events that happened to the Watsons, Zells, and Lees to him. The three families had transferred 70% of their assets. In an attempt to resist Duncan’s dominance, the families’ trusted subordinates shut down all their companies. These three families controlled 60% of the commerce in Jonford. Once their companies shut down, it would trigger a butterfly effect, affecting all industries in Jonford, big and small.

"When did this happen?" Nash inquired.

Nash had considered that Duncan might target the top three families, but he had not expected the assault to occur before his showdown with The Swordsman. It was as if Duncan completely disregarded him.

Nash contacted Eric.

"Nash, you're out of seclusion?" Eric sounded excited.

"Yes, are you heading to the Sigur Cliff now?" Nash asked.

"Yes, the Duerson family have already gone there. We need to go and hold our ground!"

"The Eight-Part Scepter is with you, right?" Nash continued to inquire.

"No, it was intercepted,” Eric admitted helplessly/ He then proceeded to inform Nash about Angelica and Mireille.

When Nash heard that Mireille had gone to the Duerson family to steal back the scepter, his brows furrowed. "Whose idea was this?" Going to the Duerson family seemed like walking into the lion's den.

Eric awkwardly replied, "It was her own. We had no other way of obtaining scepter otherwise.”

Before Nash could even start pointing fingers, Eric continued, “Quiet Winds Church did not escape disaster either.”

After taking another firm bite of the apple, Nash asked, "How many casualties?"

"Except for Cillian and a five-year-old disciple, everyone else perished," Eric revealed heavily.
