My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2708

Tybalt took several steps back. "W-What is this?"

Hazel explained, "Since you haven't activated your true energy yet, I can easily transfer my true energy into your body. Otherwise, my father would not be able to detect any form of communication. This is the only way.

"If you want to find me, just pinch a finger on your right hand with your left hand."

"Wait, what do you mean by communication? Aren't you coming with me?"

Hazel shook her head. "None of us can leave here without my father's permission. But at least you and I can stay in touch. We can coordinate our efforts, and when the time is right, we’ll end everything here together."

Tybalt nodded. "What will you do next?"

She glanced at a corner of the table.

"It’s fine. I know what to do. I'll create the illusion of a struggle with my true energy. You take the key and go."

Tybalt's gaze was resolute as he grasped Hazel's hands tightly. The sudden physical contact caught Hazel off guard. She flushed, avoiding his gaze.

"You... What are you doing?"

Tybalt's tone was earnest and determined as he said, "You must wait. Wait for me to return. I'll take you away."

Three years passed, and soon, it was time for Peony, Hazel's sister, to get married...

After that, Tybalt accepted a commission from Mather to cause a ruckus during the parade. Over the years, Tybalt had been gathering people who harbored resentment toward Orson. They lived underground, waiting for the day they could personally overthrow Orson.

Tybalt knew helping Mather was somewhat of a gamble. Over these years, he had been continuously training with the true energy that Hazel had given him, but he was still just an outsider.

Defeating Orson would not be that simple. However, he had now exposed himself to Orson, which meant that a showdown between the two was imminent.

Footsteps echoed in the empty sewer. Tybalt cautiously peered around the nearby corner and wondered, 'Is someone coming?'
