My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2452

Outside, Huntley overheard the conversation and felt mostly disdain.

"Hmph, friends? What a ridiculous joke."

With that, he left as it was soon time for his one-on-one match. Although there had been a few surprises today, the competition had to continue as there were still many whose strength had yet to be determined.

The match proceeded. Huntley strolled casually into the arena where his opponent had long been waiting for him.

"Match 20—Huntley versus Zach Sable!

"Match! Start!"

Huntley glanced at the original lineup.

"A change of opponent? Interesting. It looks like Maxim really is afraid of me."

Zach said, "Twigg! I suggest you surrender now!"

"Oh? You're so sure you can win?" Huntley replied with scorn.

"Of course! I’m the most outstanding disciple of my family's generation."

"In that case, your generation must really be lacking in talent."

"Hmph, you only know how to talk big!"

With that, Zach launched his attack, swiping a massive black claw formed from true energy toward Huntley.

Twigg casually stepped to the side, dodging the attack easily.

"Not bad. You have some skill."

"Hmph, I don't need your approval!"

Immediately, Zach used the black claw as leverage to close the distance between himself and Huntley. Huntley hurriedly retreated once again.

"What did you say?!" A sudden surge of killing intent burst forth from Zach’s body.

Huntley calmly retrieved his Emerald Pearls. "Just as I thought... A wolf—a decisive, ruthless immortal. Looks like I’ll need to get serious now."

Zach glared at Huntley.

"I warned you, Huntley, but you insisted on courting death. Now, there's no other way!"

He raised his right hand just as Huntley's eyes narrowed in focus.

"What?!"

Huntley noticed traces of his own blood on Zach's hand, left behind from the earlier wound. Suddenly, the blood began to flow into Zach’s body.

"Elder Wolf, the conditions have been met! I, Zach, the 80th-generation descendant of the Sable family, humbly ask for your assistance! Help me punish this arrogant fool, Elder Wolf!"
