My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2332

At that time, Mosley was already an old man, and the bodyguards paid no attention to the ragged elder standing before them. Yet soon after, they were devoured by a horde of monstrous creatures.

As Charlotte's mother lay in a pool of blood, she looked up at the old man and pleaded, "Please spare my daughter. I beg you, she's still so young. Please let her go."

Mosley did not respond with words but instead quietly tended to the mother's wounds.

The rest of the story had already been recounted—the mother and daughter were eventually sent to Gorgeous Country through connections, where they found refuge in Patricia's home.

However, Charlotte's mother ultimately passed away. The reason was simple—years of hard work had drained the strength of this small yet remarkable woman.

She died on the day her daughter reached adulthood.

Clayton opened his eyes, driven by a singular goal. That was to avenge his mother, who was abandoned. Clayton did not know that the Patel family was behind it all.

He believed it was his father who had sent people to kill his mother in the pursuit of wealth and power—it was that straightforward.

On the first day he obtained his bracelet, Clayton discovered his ability to vaporize, a unique trait of the Calhouns with origins unknown. Their true energy closely resembled the air around them.

When fully enveloped in true energy, they could blend seamlessly into the atmosphere, making them nearly undetectable.

During his first battle in the Grenford God Selection, Clayton encountered a formidable opponent—Barther.

With just a single move, Barther defeated him but chose not to kill him. Recognizing him as the eldest son of the Calhouns' patriarch, Barther saw an opportunity for amusement.

He began feeding Clayton twisted ideas, exaggerating them to stoke his anger. It ultimately became one of the catalysts that solidified Clayton's resolve for revenge.

Chuck managed to regain some composure. He tried to gather his true energy, but Clayton's flames seared him, preventing him from getting close.

Clayton then started to hurl fireballs, forcing Chuck to dodge with difficulty.

Then, in a sudden burst of movement, Chuck vanished from Clayton's sight. Clayton was stunned. "Is he really that fast?"

Both brothers shared the ability to vaporize, but that was not all. Due to their unique constitutions, they each awakened different powers.

Clayton's power was fire, while Chuck's was not just speed but control over wind currents. His rapid movements were heavily reliant on the wind that he generated himself.

Chuck used his wind-assisted speed to carry Zoe out of the ruins, away from the immediate danger.
