My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 115 

When Skadi opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of the corpse of one of the grandmasters from the Martial Arts Association. 

“Mr. Cox…” 

Tears streamed down Skadi’s face when she saw the familiar face. 

She did not have time to wallow in her sadness though. She hurriedly yelled toward Stellar and the others, who were still outside, “Colonel, come into the mansion…” 

Stellar shook his head, “No, I must stand guard outside!” 

Henderson yelled, “Colonel, let’s hurry on in. We are no match for these people…” 

Stellar said angrily, “I made a promise to Nash. Unless I’m dead, no one will be able to…” 

Bang! 

Skadi used the side of her palm to land a strike on Stellar’s neck. 

She was a martial artist who had reached fourth-division inner energy after all. 

It was pretty easy for her to knock an ordinary person out. 

Henderson and Joseph picked Stellar up and dragged him back into the mansion together. 

Grant hurried back into the mansion and immediately retrieved his phone to inform everyone in his family that they were not allowed to leave or enter the estate without explicit permission. 

Skadi glanced out worriedly. There were anywhere between forty to fifty people in battle out there, but she had not seen any sign of her grandfather. 

She hurriedly closed the doors when she saw a killer running toward where she stood. 

Crack! 

A sharp combat knife pierced through the sandalwood door and flew toward Skadi’s throat. 

Skadi had sharp reflexes and immediately leaned backward. The blade brushed right past her, nearly grazing the tip of her 

nose. 

Nash also completed his final sketch at that very moment. He turned and threw the brush he had been holding, and it pierced through the door with a whoosh. 

The brush pierced the throat of the killer who was outside. Fear appeared in his eyes as he let go of his combat knife and clapped both hands to his throat while stumbling backward, and he collapsed into a pile of water turned red by his blood. 

Nash handed the thirty-six pieces of parchment paper to Brian. “Put one into each of the offering bowls!” 

“Do they need to be burnt?” 

“No. Just make sure they’re fully immersed in the oil!” 

“Alright!” 

Brian carefully placed the parchment paper into the offering bowls. 

Meanwhile, Nash took bunches of copper coins strung with red string from his tote bag. 

The longer pieces of string were fifty inches long and had four copper coins attached. 

Shorter pieces were twenty-five inches long, and two copper coins were attached. 

Nash draped the strings around the offering bowls. 

When Brian finished putting the paper into the bowls, Nash also marked a magic circle around the offering bowls using the red strings. 

Brian jumped out from the magic circle. 

Nash retrieved a wine flask from his bag and took a sip before spraying the alcohol onto the heavenly sword. 

The heavenly sword, which was made from inter-connected pieces of coins, glowed like red-hot iron. 

“Oh, boundless heaven and earth, lend me your powers!” 

“Heavenly spirit seal spell, reverse the world of the living and the dead!” 

Nash mumbled the incantations as he used the heavenly sword to draw what he had sketched on the parchment paper in the air. 

The magic circle slowly rose into the air, and the thirty-six offering bowls soon followed suit. 

The mat in the middle also floated in the air alongside the magic circle and offering bowls. 

Skadi’s mouth hung open as she watched. 

She had thought Nash was just putting on airs when he donned his robe. 

She had not expected Nash to actually know how to cast such magic. 

All of a sudden, Nash seemed extremely handsome to her! 

‘No, no…’ 

‘He’s Hera’s boyfriend. I can’t think such thoughts.’ 

Skadi shook her head and hurriedly stored such unrealistic thoughts in the back of her mind. 

She quietly took her phone out so she could take a picture of Nash. 

Brian’s admiration for Nash became even more fervent. 

Grant and Joseph could not stop gulping. 

“AH!!!” 

Skadi let out an abrupt scream. 

Her phone landed on the ground with a thud. 

Joseph jumped in shock and hurriedly asked, “What… What’s the matter?” 

Skadi’s face had turned pale, and there was a dull look in her eyes. 

It was as if her soul had left her body. 

Nash shouted, “Everyone… close your eyes, and don’t open them no matter what you hear!”
