My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1931

"Damn it!" Jake quickly grabbed a sharp rock and kicked the bonfire, letting the flames spread. The fire obstructed the wolf pack, making them pause temporarily.

At this moment, Nash took out a stone spear and thrust it toward the wolves. The wolves retreated, but both men knew they couldn't hold out for long.

"You take them and run!" Jake shouted to Nash.

"But what about you?"

"No time! The flames are dying out!"

"But..."

As Nash hesitated, a crackling noise sounded from behind the wolf pack.

Nash squinted and saw it was Sven!

He had come along with people from Alfius's camp, rushing to help.

Each of them held a stone machete and a torch, hacking at the wolves in the darkness. The wolves were finally driven back by them.

On the ninth day, Sven lay injured from the previous day's battle.

He had wounds on his shoulder and arm, and he was now burning with fever.

As Jake and Alfius were counting the casualties, Nash approached Sven to check on his condition.

Nash and Jake had asked Alfius. It was Sven's message that stopped their clan from burning large amounts of wood, saving them from disaster. As a gesture of gratitude, they agreed to help rescue Jake's tribe.

"Indeed. If those six are dead too, with our current strength, it'll be tough to handle future events," Alfius analyzed. "The God of Equilibrium's tasks aren't mandatory, but even so, the coming days won't be easy. If he brings unexpected events like storms or floods, it'll be difficult."

"Yes, the God of Equilibrium's intentions are clear. He guides us to seemingly harmless actions but ensures these actions have consequences. But how are these consequences determined? Lighting a fire attracts wolves, so what other actions could bring other outcomes?"

"The God of Equilibrium must have some criteria for these consequences," Alfius concluded.

"Points," Nash suddenly said.

Both men looked at Nash in surprise.

"What did you say?" they asked in unison.

"The criteria for judgment are points."
