My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 2279 Helio appeared before him, already engaged in battle with the mysterious figures.

Patrick then drew his custom-made crossbow to assist Helio. Just as he released the arrow, the scene before him changed again.

Patrick realized he needed to find the person controlling the barrier. He deduced that the controller had to be inside the barrier. Otherwise, they could not have so precisely blocked his arrow.

Patrick observed his surroundings, then closed his eyes, recalling the map from the mission briefing.

"Nine areas. The most likely location is the center, but that area could move too. If we're moving with the areas... The barrier control must have a unit, typically centered on the controller and spreading outward. This means there must be situations beyond their control."

Patrick tried to climb higher but suddenly encountered an invisible wall.

"I can't go up, huh?" He shot an arrow infused with true energy upward. As expected, it hung eerily in mid-air.

Then, he heard Helio shouting, "Patrick! Where are you? I've taken care of everyone!"

Patrick shot an arrow toward the voice. As anticipated, the scene shifted, and his arrow was embedded in a wall.

Remaining calm, Patrick fired another arrow toward the voice. He knew the layout would change again, but that was his plan as now three areas contained his arrows.
