My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2061

"Where are the others? Where's Ply and the rest?"

"I... I don't know. I've told you everything I know. Please just let me go. I swear I'll be good from today onward. I won't cause any more trouble. Please," the man with the bird mask pleaded.

Without another word, Nash snapped his fingers, and the man's head exploded. He and Mosely then rushed toward the elevator.

...

"Alfius, I'm begging you. Forget about me and save my grandpa. He was already..."

Ply began, but Alfius cut her off, yelling, "Shut up!" He then took a deep breath to calm himself. "I'll save everyone. I have to."

Alfius carefully began to draw the incendiary energy out of the bomb. "Damn it, is this all for nothing? No, there has to be another way," he muttered.

...

Having taken the elevator, Nash and Mosely missed Alfius and Ply and ended up on the rooftop.

"Finally, we made it.”

Before them, a nondescript man was sitting casually on the couch, his foot pressing down on Herman, who was unconscious. Beside him, a drunken man was playing with a bomb.

The nondescript man said, "You sure took your time. If you had been any later, this old man's life would've been forfeited."

"Let him go, you bastards!" Mosley shouted.

"Let him go? What are you talking about? We were never ordered to release him. Right now, we'll do whatever we want. This old man's life doesn't matter anymore since he had the gall to go up against the Twilight Sect's leader.

"It's a pity. If only he had killed that Alfius kid sooner. Yet, he refused to obey us."
