My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2012

"Give our souls? To you?" Shane stared at the nameless wooden plaque before him in panic.

"What? What do you mean? Are you going to kill us too?"

"No, it's not that simple." Ruin opened his terrifying eyes and smiled wickedly.

"I want your souls as sustenance after you die, so you won't reincarnate. How about that?"

"Sustenance? Souls?" Shane asked, bewildered.

"That's right. I can give you the power to get revenge, but in return, you will all disappear forever after dying."

"Power for revenge?" Shane bit his lip, trembling as he knelt before Ruin's plaque.

"If you can truly help us get revenge, then I don't care about anything else! Please help us!"

Hearing Shane's answer, Ruin let out a crazed laugh.

"Hahaha, good! Very good! Shane, I'll take your soul! But yours alone isn't enough!"

"What?!" Shane stood protectively in front of his two brothers.

"You scoundrel! Don't even think about touching my brothers!"

"Alright, listen to me." Ruin stopped laughing and said seriously, "You have no other choice right now. Moreover, if you give me their souls, I can extend their lives—at least until your revenge is complete. How about that?"

"But..." As the eldest, Shane hesitated upon learning that he had to give up his brothers' souls as well. He did not want them to suffer further, but as Ruin had said, if they delayed any longer, his brothers would die.
