My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1909

"Master Calcraft, your visit is an unexpected honor,"

"Thank you. Please continue. I'll just listen in. By the way, has anyone seen the Warden of the Northern Territory?" Nash asked.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

"I see," Nash said resignedly. He had faith in his father's abilities. He should be fine...

Just then, Galacstar returned to his seat, signaling Ricord to continue...

"Um... Uhm... Kilmort..." Ricord suddenly whispered.

"What's wrong?" Zaafea turned to her.

"Vilgoth... is dead... His body... It was mutilated... It was brutal."

"Oh, I see," Zaafea responded casually and then nonchalantly took his seat.

Ricord found his reaction strange because Kilmort had been partnered with Vilgoth for a year after he joined last year. She wanted to be kind and let him know about his partner's fate, but Kilmort's reaction was unexpectedly calm. Seeing this, she continued reporting the head count.

After confirming the list of deaths and those unreachable, the three people on the stage stood up.

The figure in the middle dressed in black was Battlestar. He took a step forward, and his majestic voice carried forward.

"Everyone, please take a look at this."

He then pulled out something resembling a tarot card from under his robe and threw it on the ground. A figure in a business suit with his face obscured suddenly appeared. The figure removed his hat, bowed, and then spoke.

"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, esteemed ones. I'm one of the senior members of the Illuminion, and you may call me... Justinus."

The video paused.
