My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 908

Sitting beside him, a thin old man chuckled. "What's the matter? Are you afraid?"

They retreated after dispersing the onlookers on Sigur Cliff. The Second Elder, who possessed absolute speed, was left behind to hold the line.

The Second Elder had witnessed Nash and the others slay one of the ghoul overlords and restrain the two others with his own two eyes.

Bobby immediately decided to wait at the Duerson Villa so that if Peter and his group dared return, they could corner them. They would then apprehend Peter, the one responsible for refining the ghoul overlord, and obtain at least second-class merit.

It was the Third Elder who had been afraid and wanted to withdraw from Sigur Cliff. He also came to the Duerson Villa to sit back and profit from the event.

The Second Elder harbored significant grievances against the Third Elder.

Frowning, Bobby asked, “What are you saying, Second Elder? Are you not afraid of the ghoul overlord? Do you think you're more formidable than Bladesman Divus?"

The Second Elder quickly replied, "Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said I'm more powerful than Bladesman Divus. However, I've also never feared the ghoul overlord.”

“Then go back to Sigur Cliff and help Nash and his group deal with the other two ghoul overlords. You'll earn first-class merit this way. Who knows, maybe you'll even be able to push the Great Elder out of his position?"

The Second Elder's expression changed slightly. "You... How dare you suggest that?!"

He only wanted to vanquish evil, uphold justice, and fulfill his duties in the National Martial Bureau. He never thought of gaining merit, let alone pushing the Great Elder out of his position.

Bobby was trying to sow discord between him and the Great Elder.

"Only the guilty fear shadows. Why are you so nervous if that thought has never crossed your mind?" Bobby smirked mockingly.

"Third Elder, you're going too far!" The Second Elder's face turned red. True energy surged within his body as if he was about to act at any moment.

Otis frowned and interrupted their quarrel, saying, "That's enough. If you want to argue, go outside!”

He deeply regretted sending both of them on a mission at the same time. These two had never seen eye to eye and were always at odds whenever they were together.

Although the Second Elder was only at mid-Mystique Loyalty Realm, he possessed astonishing speed. Even at the peak of the Mystique Loyalty Realm, Otis had no advantage in a fight against him.

Moreover, the Second Elder had been in the National Martial Bureau for over 60 years, serving the people diligently. He had achieved first-class merit three times.

Without delay, everyone got up and headed outside. They did not dare to waste a second when it came to the chief's orders.

…

At Sigur Cliff, Nash and the others had been fighting the two ghoul overlords the entire night.

Eric was currently embedded in a towering tree with a diameter of nearly two meters. His robe had been torn to shreds, and the yellow leaves beneath his feet had turned blood-red from his blood. His head was hung low, and it was uncertain if he was still alive or dead.

Melody had already moved Jasper and Cillian to a safe location. Their appearances were so unrecognizable now that even their own mothers would not recognize them.

Finn picked up a half-smoked cigarette butt from the ground, straightened it, and lit it in his mouth. "Why have we not heard anything after so long? Could it be..." he muttered.

"Shut up,” said Melody and Felicity simultaneously, cutting Finn off.

Finn smiled bitterly, took a puff of the cigarette, and then flicked it away.

Just then, the sky abruptly darkened. Purple lightly flashed between the clouds. Finn could not be any more familiar with this scene. It was the move that Nash had used the day before to cut The Swordsman.
