My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2538

Inside Hydra Hill, Casimir sat in the great hall, visibly angry.

The disciples stood in the courtyard, some at a loss while others still wore expressions of sorrow.

At that moment, Casimir's disciples emerged from the building.

The oldest disciple and also Casimir's senior disciple, Oakley, took out a magical artifact.

"Fellow disciples, I'll use this artifact to perform a truth test on all of you, so please cooperate."

The Truth Pearl was typically used for interrogation and gathering information. It was seldom employed in recent times since Hydra Hill was much more peaceful than before.

The use of this artifact indicated the severity of the situation.

Casimir had previously warned all his disciples.

"Based on the remaining evidence at the scene, the killer did not run far and is likely still on the mountain."

Indeed, a murderer was within their ranks, and yet Casimir remained oblivious. Clearly, that individual's strength and methods were extraordinary. Perhaps even the Truth Pearl would not reveal much.

Still, Casimir decided to give it a try, firmly believing the killer was still on the mountain.

The residual traces of true energy were strange, and there were no signs of damage to the barrier below.

Thus, the killer was likely someone from within Hydra Hill.

Oakley performed a truth test on all the disciples, as well as on Nash and Clint.

As expected, the Truth Pearl showed almost no abnormalities.

Afterward, Casimir shared some encouraging words with his disciples. The disciples merely gritted their teeth in anger at the killer.

Soon, they dispersed.

Casimir returned to the inner courtyard with Nash, Clint, and others.

After they settled down, Casimir hung his head, looking somewhat dejected.

At that moment, Nash clasped his hands together and said, "Master Hay, if there's anything we can do to help, we'll do our utmost."

"That's right!" Clint added. "How about I use the Art of Divination to predict the killer's whereabouts? We must avenge that young lad!"

However, Casimir waved his hand. "Thank you both for your goodwill, but this is an internal matter for us at Hydra Hill. We should handle it ourselves."
