My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 920

"He underestimated his enemy,” Duncan replied without even waiting for Boris to respond.

Black Gem nodded approvingly at Duncan. “Exactly. You lot were too careless. Nash is Johnathan’s student, who's known as the Terrestrial Immortal. How could the student of such a figure be easy to deal with?"

He lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip before continuing, "If The Swordsman hadn't underestimated his enemy and had been willing to expend a bit more effort, he might have been able to unleash the Seventh Slash of the Seven Killings Blade Technique..."

Surprised, Boris paused before asking, “Could the Seventh Slash counter the Infinite Divine Thunder Spell?"

The Swordsman died from Nash's Infinite Divine Thunder Spell. They had all witnessed its power, and the destruction it caused was undeniable.

Boris had calculated at the time. Even if The Swordsman had used his Seventh Slash, it might not have been enough to withstand the power of the Infinite Divine Thunder Spell.

Black Gem smiled faintly and said, "We might have had a chance."

Duncan sighed bitterly. "We underestimated him because we had the ghoul overlord. We relied on it. If I hadn't lost the scepter, victory would have been ours!"

After a moment of silence, Black Gem sighed and said, "Let bygones be bygones. Take some time to recuperate. I'll go out and gather information on the National Martial Bureau."

With that, he stood up and left with White Gem.

...

Nash and Hera continued walking until the sun set before they flagged down a taxi.

"To Royal Bay, please," Nash said to the driver.

Hera wrapped her arms around Nash’s arm affectionately, resting her head on his shoulder with a happy smile on her face.

"Let's go watch a movie,” Nash suggested.

As the driver was about to turn the car around, he chuckled and asked, "Are you sure? So are we going to Royal Bay or to the movie theater?"

Hera looked at Nash in surprise. "Are... Are you going to accompany me to the movies?"

Nash smiled gently. "Can't I?"

With that, she got out of Nash's embrace and asked cautiously, "Just tell me honestly. Are you not confident about taking down Black Wind Mountains?"

She recalled Nash discussing with Eric during the day about annihilating Black Wind Mountains. Atlas had reported that Black Wind Mountains had eight Mystique Loyalty Realm experts. Skadi had mentioned that even the National Martial Bureau only had three Mystique Loyalty Realm experts.

If even the National Martial Bureau could not handle Black Wind Mountains, why were Nash and the others so determined to wipe them out? Were they not just asking for trouble?

"Don't overthink it. Your husband has never done anything without confidence!" Nash pinched Hera's nose.

"Your confidence stems from your self-assurance!" Hera leaned back in her seat, looking somewhat melancholic.

When Nash was unconscious, she had seen the terrifying wounds on his body. It made her realize how much danger he had been in.

"Confidence is self-assurance! Self-assurance leads one to the peak.” Nash grinned.

Hera was right.
