My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2006

Back at the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties, Zaafea turned his gaze to the old priest and muttered, “Seriously? Are they just going to go all out now?”

The old priest had somehow flown several miles away and was now leisurely sipping tea, watching the spectacle unfold.

“Oh, come on, really? Running away at the first sign of trouble? Clint!” Zaafea called out to Clint, who was about to charge into battle.

“What is it?” Clint asked.

“Are you seriously going to charge in? Haven’t you noticed that most people have already run off? We should get out of here too.”

“Run away?” Clint shook his head. “If we don't defeat him here, he’ll harm even more people.”

“But that guy is a bona fide god. He’s one of the top fighters among the gods themselves too! Even though he hasn’t fully recovered his strength, he could still kill everyone here without breaking a sweat.”

“Oh? You’re afraid of him?” Clint asked somewhat mockingly.

“Yes, I’m afraid. So—"

“You can deal with him, right?” Clint asked again, his tone shifting.

Ryan stepped forward. “In that case… With Zaafea here, I’ll give my all to support you.”

“I’m in too,” Benedict added.

“And me,” Lana said as she joined the group.

Deluca obediently stood behind Zaafea then too.

“No way," Zaafea refused sternly. "You guys need to get out of here, now! If anything happens to you, it'll be disastrous. That god hasn't fully recovered his power yet. The Illuminion brought him out just to create chaos. They'll retract him soon, so for now, we—"

“You... Are you serious? Why are you even considering this?” Clint asked disdainfully.
