My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313 

The crowd followed suit, a mix of emotions seeping into the air. They thought this banquet was for Nash to garner support from the high- 

ranking families, but it turned out to be a moment to remember the 

fallen warriors. 

Nash poured himself a second glass and raised it, saying, “For this 

second toast, we honor those who fought for justice.” 

This statement was directed to those at Bertram’s and Julian’s tables, 

as they were among the ones who participated in the Mystique 

Loyalty Realm battle. Nash raised his glass and downed the contents 

in one gulp. 

The crowd looked toward the elders at the two tables with respect, 

then promptly emptied their own glasses. After a moment, they 

refilled their glasses for a third toast. 

Nash said again, “For this third toast, I salute all the heroes who 

uphold righteousness and distinguish right from wrong. I hope that in 

the future, we can work together with the Martial Arts Association, 

uphold justice, and promote the spirit of martial arts in our great 

nation. 

“Most importantly, let us all stay humble and disciplined!” 

As he said these words, Nash’s gaze swept over those who had 

joined the Southern Martial Alliance. No one dared to meet his eyes. 

Nash snorted coldly. “Are you all avoiding my gaze because you still 

have thoughts of forming another alliance?” 

Carver trembled and quickly looked up at Nash, his gaze guilty. 

Did they really still harbor such thoughts? They were reacting that 

way out of fear. 

The other powerful figures who had joined the Southern Martial Alliance also raised their gazes to meet Nash’s eyes. One of them 

immediately raised his glass and swore, “The Yoner family of Brume will stick to our principles from now on. We shall stay humble and refrain from participating in any factional disputes!” 

The rest immediately echoed his sentiments. However, Nash raised 

an eyebrow and said, “It’s good to refrain from participating in 

factional disputes, but when it comes to dealing with evil forces, I hope everyone can contribute.” 

The Church of the Netherworld was a formidable organization, and 

Nash was not confident he could nip them alone. Thus, he needed to 

remind these people that they should show up when help was needed. 

This was also why Nash did not exterminate those who joined the Southern Martial Alliance. He needed a strong force to deal with the 

Church of the Netherworld. 

Nash did not say any of this as he could not be certain if any of these people were associated with the church. 

Following this, more martial arts families expressed their support and pledged their allegiance. The vast majority promised to obey Nash’s 

orders when he issued them. 

Next was a mingling session, and many of the younger generations 

of the various martial arts families came forward one after another.

Nash continued to drink one glass after another. He then took out his phone to add their numbers. Each number represented a powerful 

connection.
