My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 73 

Their mission was to assassinate a brutal warlord from Yerusia. 

Back then, the two had gotten into a massive fight over the warlord’s head. 

When reinforcements arrived, they used fighter aircraft to bomb the base nonstop. 

Nash had managed to escape, but Shawn was left behind in the sea of fire. 

He had not expected Shawn to have survived. 

“Number nine on the Blood Leaderboard!” 

“I’ll rank number nine once I kill you!” 

Shawn laughed coldly and tightened his grip on his blades before dashing toward Nash. 

Meanwhile, the other killers raced toward the warden. 

The scene exploded into chaos. 

Walter and Grant ducked beneath a table. 

Stellar and Henderson stayed by the warden’s sides to protect him. 

Nash got to his feet and dashed outward at the speed of lightning. 

All everyone could see were two black figures crashing into each other. 

Then, they heard the sound of metal clanking. 

One of the dark figures darted amongst the five killers headed toward the warden. 

Ten seconds later. 

The man wearing a smiley face mask stood in front of the warden. 

It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere. 

Shawn stood unmoving. 

The five killers maintained their positions and did not budge. 

Zakariah gulped. “They move so quickly, I can’t even tell when they strike!” 

He was the head of the martial arts association and a Grandmaster who had achieved fifth-stage. Yet, he could not even get a proper look at the moves they were making, and that was embarrassing. 

However, that was the truth. 

Stellar went to Nash and asked, “Has… everything ended?” 

Nash nodded but did not elaborate. 

Shawn stared at the area where his heart was in disbelief. 

A bloody arrow with shredded bits of his heart protruded from that area. 

He looked up and stared at Nash in disbelief. “How… How are you so powerful?” 

Nash walked over to Shawn and whispered something into his ear. 

Shawn shuddered violently before falling to the ground. 

His gaze slowly lost focus, and his grip on his blades gradually loosened. 

Slam! Slam! Slam! 

The remaining five people also fell to the ground one after the other. 

“Has been… has been found…” 

One of the Lee family’s teenage kids ran over while huffing and panting. 

Olivia hurriedly asked, “What did you find?” 

The teenager panted, “I’ve found the old master…” 

Olivia shoved the teenager aside and dashed toward the mansion. 

Joseph had a guilty look on his face as he gazed at Stellar and the warden as he said, “Colonel, warden… I apologize for my rudeness just now!” 

The warden smiled as he said, “It’s not your fault… To be honest, I’m the one to blame. I was the one who led the killers here!” 

These killers had only infiltrated the Lee estate because they wanted to kill him. 

Thankfully, they had not murdered his mentor. 

He would have felt guilty for the rest of his life if that were the case. 

Joseph turned to Nash again and bowed to him. “I’m sorry for misunderstanding you just now!” 

Nash pretended not to hear him and returned to the warden’s side. 

A short while later, Olivia returned, wheeling a different wheelchair this time. 

The amiable-looking Mr. Lee was seated in the wheelchair. 

The warden hurried forth and took Mr. Lee’s hands as they exchanged pleasantries. 

However, Mr. Lee began wailing like a young child. 

Olivia approached her father and whispered, “Grandpa was stripped naked and stuffed into a closet. He must have been so frightened!” 

Joseph had a pained look on his face as he replied, “At least he’s alright… at least he’s alright!” 

“Then… should we proceed with the celebrations?” 

“Let’s proceed. Set off more firecrackers later!” 

Joseph headed toward his father after finishing his sentence. 

Meanwhile, Olivia headed toward the plaza to reassure the guests attending the celebration. 

Stellar walked over to Nash and asked quietly, “Are you alright?” 

Nash crossed his arms over his chest. “I won’t die!” 

Stellar said with trepidation, “Those killers were terrifying. I don’t even dare imagine what would have happened if you weren’t here…” 

Nash smiled slightly. “So, are you going to increase my pay?”
