My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

A massive villa, comparable to a castle, was surrounded by hundreds of men in black. Blocking the entrance were 35 burly men with embroidered collars. They were part of the Gold Faction's core, 12 of whom were at the Profound Reality Realm while 13 were great-

grandmasters.

They were sworn brothers to the leader of the Gold Faction and known collectively as the 36 Heavenly Stems.

Recently, all families in Munford, including the elite Roche family, had been attacked. Their martial artists were stripped of their abilities.

The Gold Faction was known for their loyalty and could not stand idly by when the Roche family was in trouble. Thus, they rallied their forces in Munford for a rescue.

As a Rolls-Royce slowly drove in, everyone parted ways and lowered their heads, shouting, "Sir!"

The car door opened, and an elderly man with slicked-back gray hair stepped out. He was the leader of the Gold Faction, a late-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm expert.

"Should we really get involved in this mess?" the second-in-command asked gravely. "I heard they killed four peak-stage Mystique Loyalty Realm experts."

Battlestar did not respond but walked toward the villa's courtyard.

Inside the villa living room, the direct descendants of the Roche family were all kneeling on the floor. Sitting on a couch before them was a man in a suit and glasses. He was refined and elegant, exuding an air of nonchalance.
