My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 916

Cillian expressed his heartfelt gratitude with a respectful bow. Yet, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The culprit behind the destruction of Quiet Winds Church was Peter. Curing himself of the toxins and breaking through to the Mystique Loyalty Realm was just a matter of time. Cillian was determined to seek justice for the thousands of disciples lost.

“Old Tanner, please take Father Cillian to go fetch the medicine!" Nash turned to Brian and said.

Brian, whose once salt-and-pepper hair had turned completely white and whose face had gained numerous wrinkles, seemed preoccupied. It was likely due to his concern for Mireille.

"Yes, alright," he responded absentmindedly as he quickly stood up from the couch.

Suddenly, Nash asked, "Has Mireille been emotionally stable these past few days?"

Upon hearing Nash's concern for his granddaughter, Brian immediately perked up. "She has stabilized now. Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster!"

Nash pursed his lips and remained silent. If he had not been in seclusion at the time, he would never have allowed Mireille to take such a risk. Yet, if it had not been for her retrieving the scepter, they might have all perished at the hands of the ghoul overlords.

Brian sensed Nash's guilt and reassured him with a smile, "Grandmaster, there's no need to worry. Mireille has come to terms with it!"

Nash nodded, sighing inwardly once again.

Brian and Cillian departed.

Cillian turned to look at Yoyo, who was peeking at him from behind Skadi timidly. He asked, "Are you coming up the mountain with me or staying with her?"

Skadi quickly shielded Yoyo behind her, saying, "Let her stay with me. You still need to cultivate. Where would you find the time to take care of her?"

Yoyo whispered, "I-I want to go up the mountain to look for Master!"

"Your master is traveling far and wide now. He won't be back for a while," Skadi hurriedly said to her.

"But..." Yoyo glanced cautiously at her senior.

Cillian's eyes flickered slightly before he turned around and strode away with Brian.

Yoyo's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Master Cillian, do you not want me anymore?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Felicity frowned. "But aren’t you still recovering? Zachary is still by Dominic’s side. That guy is in the Mystique Loyalty Realm!"

Nash glanced at Jaxon from the corner of his eye and smiled. "With Master Jaxon here, Zachary is not a concern!"

Jaxon's combat power was comparable to the peak of the Mystique Loyalty Realm. From his previous encounters with two Corpse Soul Kings, he could even contend with Bladesman Divus provided he did not use the Return of Infinite Swords.

"May the Light guide me." Jaxon clasped his hands together and recited a chant with his brows slightly furrowed. He felt like he was being used as a pawn by Nash.

Felicity smiled brightly. "Stop it with that. Zachary is a ruthless villain who kills without blinking. You're eliminating evil for the sake of the people!"

Jaxon sighed softly. "I would like to refrain from killing."

Nash interjected, "I'm not asking you to kill him. Just subdue him!"

Felicity pulled on Jaxon's sleeve and stood up, saying, "You've just been discharged from the hospital, so rest well. We won't disturb you any longer!"
