My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2460

The match concluded, and both Dune brothers were promptly taken to the martial arts hospital run by the Lindejon Collective.

"Doctor, how are they?" Teresa asked anxiously.

After having done a thorough examination, the doctor replied with a flat expression, "Don’t worry, they're only exhausted from overusing their true energy. They'll wake up after some time."

"That's great! Thank you, doctor," Teresa and Chevy said, relieved.

Meanwhile, in another arena, Enid had arrived for her match against Thresmund. She greeted him cautiously, "H-Hello, I'll be in your care."

Thresmund did not respond. Instead, he launched an attack on Enid before the match even began. The sudden and powerful assault left Enid scrambling to dodge.

Just as abruptly, Thresmund halted his attack. Enid, warily peeking out, saw Thresmund's body trembling uncontrollably.

Spectators in the stands murmured in confusion.

"Why did he suddenly stop?"

"No idea."

Maxim’s expression grew serious as he looked at Thresmund.

“You... know too much,” he said cryptically.

Two days ago, just after the appearance of the Mother of Immortals, the Genii disciples representing the Lindejon Collective began to grow restless. They were eager for Maxim's explanation as he had been the one to seal her in the past.

Now that this power had resurfaced, everyone was anxious to understand how she had returned.

Although the Genii disciples of today still worshipped the Mother of Immortals, they knew she now served only as a symbol, useful solely for rituals.

There were more radical disciples in the region as well, and if they were to discover the true existence of the Mother of Immortals, the Lindejon Collective’s current dominance would be challenged.

No matter what Maxim’s approach was, the Mother of Immortals’ mere presence could carve out a new power faction in the existing balance. This posed a significant threat to the Lindejon Collective and their affiliates.

As a result, instead of simply petitioning Maxim, many were practically commanding him that under no circumstances could the Mother of Immortals’ power be fully awakened.
