My Substitute CEO Bride

“It indeed isn’t easy for you, Brother Nutcracker. How about this? I’ll give you 75 million each, but you can’t tell the rest.”

“Howard, aren’t you being too courteous?” Giant Juggernaut said with a surprised expression.

“We were just joking. You can’t measure our decades-old friendship with money!”

Howard agreed with a smile but was cursing mentally. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Nutcracker Juggernaut was getting angry, so how could he not be courteous? With his status in the Green Bamboo Association, even if Nutcracker were to kill him, all the president would do was just curse him out a little.

Unibrow Juggernaut was worried Howard would go back on his word, so he changed the subject and said, “I wonder if Hidden-Ghost and the rest have taken action by now.”

Giant Juggernaut put the smile away from his face and replied, “The Zabels and Philix are slightly acquainted with one another. I hope Philix doesn’t get mad because of this.”

Unibrow picked up the wine glass and downed its content. “Didn’t the president say that he’s on very good terms with the warden of the Southern Territory? Even if Philix does get angry, he won’t turn against him, no?”

“Exactly!”

Giant Juggernaut laughed. “Come now. Let’s get on with the drinking!”

The four of them clinked their glasses together before tilting their heads back and downing the wine at the same time.

“You

guys

look like you’re having a great time!” An amused voice came from the second floor

all of a sudden.

The four of them looked up, and their hearts skipped a beat.

A man dressed in black with a smiling mask was descending the stairs step by step. He was holding a blood-red diamond-shaped dagger in his hand. Bright red blood was flowing down from the blade to the stairs, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. The cold wind that was blowing in from the outside not only did not dilute the smell of blood in the air, it even intensified it.

“T-The Smiling Grim Reaper!” Howard shot up to his feet and accidentally knocked over the wine glass on the table.

The wine glass fell to the ground and shattered.

All four of their hearts jumped.

The Smiling Grim Reaper’s code name was no stranger to them. Howard had even witnessed his terrifying power back at the Lees’ birthday banquet.

Nutcracker Juggernaut narrowed his eyes. “You killed all of our people?”

The night breeze outside carried with it a strong stench of blood just now, which meant that there was already a river of blood flowing outside.

Nash smiled sadly and said, “They’re but a swarm of ants. They’re not worth mentioning.” Giant Juggernaut stood up and questioned, “We have no grievances with you. What do you want?”

“No grievances?”

Nash sneered, “Did the Youngs have any grudges against you when you slaughtered them?”

The Youngs!

The four of them looked at Nash wide-eyed.

Howard was panicking as he asked, “A-Are you from the Young family?”

Immediately after that, he shook his head in disbelief. “That’s impossible! There’s no way any of them survived! The Young family massacre happened during their annual ancestor worship. It was part of the family rule that all family members must remain in the village!”

It was precisely because of this rule that they had completely slaughtered the Youngs. For more than 20 years, none from the family had surfaced to claim revenge.

Nash’s hand that was gripping the dagger shook slightly as terrifying killing intent filled the air.

The temperature in the living room had also plummeted sharply as the air seemed to be sucked out.

Giant Juggernaut gathered himself together and asked in a deep voice, “So, did you come to us today for revenge?”

The Smiling Grim Reaper did not need a reason to kill. The fact he brought up the Youngs meant that he was a survivor of the Young family.

Nash played with the dagger in his hand and asked coolly, “I’ll give you one chance now to make sure your bodies remain intact. Tell me who are the other families that were involved in the Young family massacre.”
