My Substitute CEO Bride

Frederic poured a cup of tea for his elder brother and solemnly said, "Nash is the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron. He's also the son of the present Warden of the Northern Territory."

Henrik smiled faintly. "That's all? We should be able to suppress him with our family's power. With my status as well as Alberic's, General Landon shouldn't have any objections if we were to get rid of the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, right?" Henrik and Alberic were both Profound Oriental Realm experts. Although they were not clearly aligned with their positions as officials, even Elias would show them some respect.

"Nash is from the Young family," Frederic revealed, and Henrik was slightly taken aback.

"The Young family? So, the Warden of the Northern Territory is also from the Young family?"

Frederic nodded lightly.

Henrik smiled, his interest brewing. "How interesting. It looks like the Klein family might be expelled from the Ten Families."

"Not necessarily," the fourth brother, Alberic, said. "I heard the Klein family now has four Profound Oriental Realm experts. That power is enough to intimidate both the Northern Territory and the Celestial Dragon Squadron." Henrik frowned and replied, "It looks like we've underestimated the Kleins' power."

The third brother, Finnegan, spoke up then. His voice was serious as he said, "Now is not the time to analyze Nash and the Klein family." He then turned to Chekov and asked, "Tell us, how did you offend Nash?" "It's not exactly that..."

Chekov recounted the conflict between Nash and the Petro family. He also mentioned how Nalarov had been crippled.

After listening to Chekov's account, Alberic's expression turned stern as he replied, "Hearing what you said, it's Nash who has offended our family!"

"Uncle Alberic, this whole matter ultimately started because of Viktoria!"

Chekov had been waiting for this moment. Nalarov was his grandson, and as a grandfather, he could not just sit idly when his grandson had been crippled.

Nash was an expert in the Profound Oriental Realm, and the family's known forces were not enough to go up against him. This was why he had come to the old family estate to seek help from his uncles. Alberic snorted coldly. "But the fact remains that he crippled Nalarov, doesn't it?"

Chekov was a descendant of the fifth brother, Serik Petro. Alberic had the closest relationship with Serik back when they were kids. Serik passed away early on, and when he died, Chekov was only three years old. At that time, Alberic had vowed to treat Chekov as his own. Now that Chekov's grandson had been crippled, how could he, as Nalarov's great-grandfather, stand by and do nothing?

Alberic snorted coldly, "But the fact remains that he crippled Nalarov, doesn't it?"

"Albreric, you can't touch Nash. He's the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron and holds a top-ranking official position. If we go against him, General Landon and the Sovereign will certainly be furious!

"Moreover, Nash's father is theBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

current Warden of the Northern Territory.guarantee that if you touch him, the Warden will stop at nothing to destroy the Petro family," Frederic said earnestly in an attempt to persuade the man against pursuing Nash.

Alberic simply scoffed. "I don't believe the Warden would dare offend two Profound Oriental Realm experts in one go!"

The Profound Oriental Realm was considered the pinnacle of the modern cultivation world. Two Profound Oriental Realm experts were enough to intimidate any power, including Drakonia's official forces.

"In any case, I won't allow you to harm Nash," Frederic said again, his expression growing increasingly cold.

Henrik took a sip of his tea, not looking like he had any intention of expressing his stance.

Finnegan took out his phone and started checking the stock market. The atmosphere became oppressively tense.

Seeing this, Chekov bitterly pleaded, "Uncle Alberic, let's just forget it. I'm only asking for your help in saving Nalarov and mending his bones!"

"Is Nalarov severely injured?" Frederic asked.

Chekov replied softly, "All his bones

are broken, and his core has been completely destroyed. He's only still alive because several of our family's Mystique Loyalty Realm experts are infusing true energy into him

Alberic's fury was ignited. He shot up to his feet and declared, "To inflict such severe injuries shows that the young man was cruel! Leaving him alive would only bang future trouble. I must act on behalf of justice!"
