My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2725

"No! Nalani, run quickly!"

Before Daryl could finish speaking, a loud explosion echoed as the door was blown apart. They had broken in, and Daryl hurriedly grabbed a sword from the wall.

"Nalani, go find the children!"

Nalani nodded and quickly pushed open the door. "Be careful."

She then ran toward Wrendell's and Scathach's rooms.

Daryl positioned the sword in front of him. "They've found us, old friend. It seems I'll have to trouble you again."

Suddenly, the sword erupted with a surge of crimson true energy.

Daryl gripped the sword tightly. "Today, we'll settle this with them once and for all!"

By then, the enemies had already entered the mansion. Daryl stepped forward with the sword in hand, facing them.

"Gentlemen, I wonder why you came to see me at such a late hour?"

The leader of the group approached. "Mr. Sharpe, what are you talking about? We came with sincerity."

Daryl scoffed. "Sincerity? Mr. Hunsley, I'm just a failed writer. Why talk about sincerity with me?"

At that moment, a burly man walked forward. "Boss, you don't need to take action. Leave the rest to me."

The so-called Mr. Hunsley said nothing and gestured for Kane Carver to begin.

Kane's body suddenly exploded with intense true energy.

He then walked over to Daryl. "Daryl, why cling so stubbornly to this?

"The master is dead. Do you really intend to heed his words for the rest of your life?"

Daryl spat blood and tried to steady himself. However, with the last remnants of his broken sword failing to support him, he stumbled to the ground.

Furious, Daryl pounded the ground with his fists. His blood covered the sword, and his body bore countless wounds.

"I don't know what you're thinking, Royce, but let me tell you this. Even if I die, don't think you can get the remaining half of the magma core! Never!"

Royce feigned a regretful sigh. "Oh, Daryl, why go to such lengths? You and I, we're both heirs of the Heaven-Destroyer Magma. That much is undeniable. But think about it. If we each hold half of the core, then this ultimate technique will still be lost, right?

"Don't be stubborn. I'll make you a deal. As long as you hand over the core, I won't hold anything you've done against you."
