My Substitute CEO Bride

"Finally..." Nash stared at Malvol's exposed face.

"Long time no see," Malvol replied, wiping the dust from his face.

"Yes, it has been a while... my brother."

Maxim was in the Northern Territory. Upon learning the giant trees' weakness, Maxim did not hesitate for a moment. He shattered the tree with a single punch.

Naturally, Arlan was not just going to stand there and let Maxim act freely. He rushed forward to stop him, but his efforts were in vain.

Maxim was now one of the top forces in the Northern Territory. If he had not preferred to stay low-key, his name would have already spread across the martial world. Of course, it was not too late for the world to learn of him now.

Maxim unleashed another powerful punch.

Clearly, Arlan was no match for him.

Arlan attempted to switch his body once more, but this move was equally dangerous. If his real body was killed by Maxim, it would mean his total defeat.

However, he mistakenly thought Maxim was also possessed by an immortal spirit and charged at him without hesitation.

The result was predictable. Maxim, knowing why Lord Torrich had failed, was fully aware of Arlan's tricks. Maxim was not just anyone; he was the man who had swept through the Northern Great Immortals. Such clever tactics stood no chance against him.

As expected, the moment Arlan got close to Maxim, he was instantly reduced to a mist of blood. Arlan met his end without even understanding what had happened.

Maxim wiped his hands clean and looked at the glowing Nash in the distance. He then turned his head away.

"Nash Calcraft... truly interesting." Although he understood the gravity of the crisis, after seeing that radiance, he felt no urgency at all.

"The now-empowered Nash is sure to win. The rest... Well, my intervention isn't needed anymore." With that, Maxim turned and left.

On the other side of the Northern

Territory, Arlo was being held at bay by Harkin and Thresmund.

Meanwhile, Ryan, Jaques, Fabian, and others rushed to the Northern Territory.

"What about Central District?!" Jaques asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Nash is incredibly strong. He'll handle it," Ryan replied, sitting in Fabian's helicopter.

Thanks to Fabian's strange techniques, Ryan had managed to recover some of his true energy and was ready to wield the god-slaying sword again. However, he had also learned of Jaques' background.

It seemed they had killed his fellow disciple, yet Jaques had still come to help them. It was a surprising turn of events.

Ryan knew that if it were not for Jaques, he would have surely died in Central District. As these thoughts ran through his mind, they arrived near the giant tree.

Once again, the ghostly purple monsters appeared, and everyone quickly moved to engage in battle.

Inside the helicopter, Fabian

removed the bandages from the

body of the warrior lying next to him, who was supplying true energy. The person turned out to be Caspian.

However, Caspian was completely unresponsive. Fabian rewrapped the bandages around him, then looked at Caspian with a sinister grin.

The sky gradually darkened. This catastrophe, which had begun 12 hours earlier, continued as the sun finally set.
