My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 1823

No wonder he was confident enough to utterly destroy Nalarov and slap him while they were in City Hall.

Regan, who was standing by the door, felt her legs go weak. She collapsed to the ground and hurriedly crawled toward the elevator.

She wanted to return to the countryside and escape the tumultuous world of politics. She wanted to live a life in the countryside where she did not need to second-guess every person's intention and fight with them.

Colby returned to his senses, and his lips trembled as he said, "General Copper, even if he is the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, that still doesn't give him the right to slap someone just because he feels like it, does it? "Look at the injuries on my face. I doubt even my mother would be able to recognize me!"

Being the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron made Nash a first-rank government official, which meant Nash was one rank above him.

When it came to politics, he could afford not to be afraid of the National Martial Bureau and the Special Security Department, but he was absolutely terrified of the Divine Strategy Squadron and the Celestial Dragon Squadron.

The Divine Strategy Squadron and the Celestial Dragon Squadron were both organizations that held an immense amount of power!

Tristan cleared his throat and said calmly, "The commander of the Celestial Strategy Squadron owns the Nine Dragons Sword, which the Sovereign gifted to him personally. In fact, no one would pay attention to you if he killed you, let alone slapped you!"

The Nine Dragons Sword was equivalent to the State of Sword in olden times. It was used for everything ranging from decapitating the king's relatives to decapitating corrupt government officials.

That completely wiped out Colby's bravado, and he fell from the chair to his knees as he slapped himself frantically, "Commander Calcraft, I apologize for not knowing a wise man when I see one. Please, show me some mercy. Please don't hold my mistakes against me!"

He did not want to die, nor did he want to lose his position as a governor. Most importantly, he did not want his grandfather to feel ashamed.

Colby was the grandson of Finnegan Petro.

After his parents passed, his grandfather took on a behind-the-scenes role that caused his level of influence within the Petro family to plummet.
