My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1817

Frederic poured a cup of tea for his elder brother and solemnly said, “Nash is the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron. He's also the son of the present Warden of the Northern Territory."

Henrik smiled faintly. “That's all? We should be able to suppress him with our family's power. With my status as well as Alberic's, General Landon shouldn’t have any objections if we were to get rid of the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, right?”

Henrik and Alberic were both Profound Oriental Realm experts. Although they were not clearly aligned with their positions as officials, even Elias would show them some respect.

“Nash is from the Young family,” Frederic revealed, and Henrik was slightly taken aback.

“The Young family? So, the Warden of the Northern Territory is also from the Young family?”

Frederic nodded lightly.

Henrik smiled, his interest brewing. “How interesting. It looks like the Klein family might be expelled from the Ten Families.”

“Not necessarily,” the fourth brother, Alberic, said. “I heard the Klein family now has four Profound Oriental Realm experts. That power is enough to intimidate both the Northern Territory and the Celestial Dragon Squadron."

Henrik frowned and replied, “It looks like we've underestimated the Kleins' power."

The third brother, Finnegan, spoke up then. His voice was serious as he said, “Now is not the time to analyze Nash and the Klein family.” He then turned to Chekov and asked, “Tell us, how did you offend Nash?”

“It’s not exactly that…"

Chekov recounted the conflict between Nash and the Petro family. He also mentioned how Nalarov had been crippled.

After listening to Chekov’s account, Alberic's expression turned stern as he replied, “Hearing what you said, it's Nash who has offended our family!”

“Uncle Alberic, this whole matter ultimately started because of Viktoria!”

Chekov had been waiting for this moment. Nalarov was his grandson, and as a grandfather, he could not just sit idly when his grandson had been crippled.
