My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2445

This was the case with the Troyers from Central District. The Troyers, Woods, Goodes, Carvers, and the Goldbergs were all one family in the past. Even though the main family had disappeared, the branch families were still inextricably linked.

Anox asked abruptly, "That ritualistic weapon, was it given to you by your mother?"

Huntley nodded and said, "Emerald Pearl, also called the Seven Star Pearl."

"Is that it?"

"Why should I tell you more?"

"Tsk, didn’t we discuss..." Anox trailed off as he turned around to look at Enid. Suddenly, he was reminded of something and asked, "Hey, when you said she’s the key, what did you mean by that?"

"I meant it literally," Huntley explained. "No matter what, Enid must not be allowed to release the power within her."

"Why?"

"The Mother of Immortals should not be underestimated. If her power is wielded by people with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"By people with ulterior motives, do you mean Maxim?"

Huntley nodded and said, "That's right."

Anox continued to ask, "Why do you think so? Are your families related?"

"We are, but it’s more than that."

"Huntley, now that we've said so much, it's time for you to explain to me about your family and the Youngs."

Huntley did not want to hide it either.

"Alright, I'll tell you."

"For some unknown reason, Maxim led many exorcists to completely wipe out the Wallaces. My mother was also caught by Maxim when she was fleeing. Fortunately, the Twiggs, who had moved south, suddenly came and rescued my mother.

"After being saved, I was born, but… my family members from the Twiggs were also seriously injured in that battle. At that time, nearly thousands of Twiggs died by the exorcists' swords. Only a hundred Twiggs managed to flee to Hildeford and survive the battle."

Anox asked, "But… why did the exorcists do that?"

"I don't know. This was the only thing that my father revealed to me. He has repeatedly asked me not to return to the East District of the Northern Territory, but... I still came."

"Why?"

"I’m searching for an answer."

"An answer?"

Huntley replied, "Yes, I want to know the truth that my parents were unwilling to reveal to me even before they died. I want to know why my family is unwilling to let me come back here. I have to figure it out."
