My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

"Of course." Duncan downed the remaining of his wine and turned to Boris, saying, "I leave the Roche family and the Gold Faction in your care."

Boris did not seem pleased. Instead, he sighed lightly. "Actually, I would prefer you to retreat to the mountains to cultivate. With the Tribulation Realm ancestor's heritage, you could break through to the Profound Oriental Realm in five years at most. After that, no one would be able to threaten you."

"Five years!" Duncan raged, his eyes clouding over with frustration. "If I don't kill Nash, even 500 years wouldn't be enough for me to break through to the Profound Oriental Realm. He's my greatest obstacle!" After a moment, he stood up and said, "I'm tired. Who will take care of the city hall issue?"

With the martial and business sectors under control, gaining control of the political sphere would give Duncan dominion over all of Munford. After that, he planned to lead his forces against Jonford and eliminate Nash. "I'll handle it," Peter declared confidently. "I'll just use the One God Bug to control those in charge."

Duncan nodded. "Thank you, Godfather."

Figures clad in blue and white uniforms descended onto the ground one by one. The martial arts team consisted of five Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists, 20 Profound Reality Realm martial artists, and 20 great-grandmasters. The Esper team boasted two second- generation Espers and 60 first-generation Espers.

Suddenly, an overweight man landed on a high-voltage power line and screeched like a slaughtered pig before falling to the ground. He then began to froth at the mouth and convulse.
