My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2268

"The Illuminion?" Mica repeated, looking quite intrigued. Though he was not a martial artist, he had always been fascinated by unusual stories, particularly supernatural news, which he paid special attention to.

Avery then turned his gaze to Sven and said, "The Illuminion—you're not unfamiliar with them, are you?"

Sven was still cautious as he replied, "Are you with the Illuminion?"

Avery shook his head. "Of course not. If I were, Mica here would probably already be a corpse. My group, the one I represent, is fighting against the Illuminion."

"So, hero of Yerusia, Mr. Sven, you should understand why I’m here."

Sven lowered his fists, his stance relaxing. "Alright, let’s exchange information, then. Let’s see if you’re worth helping."

Avery nodded, acknowledging Sven's wariness. It was a trait befitting a seasoned veteran. Recognizing this, Avery decided to share all the information he had gathered so far, along with the intelligence provided by his group.

After all, Fabian had made it clear that when dealing with trustworthy allies, there was no need to withhold critical information.

Avery shared all the intelligence he had gathered with the two who then learned of BrightState Enterprise's true nature. To show his sincerity, Sven also revealed what he had uncovered.

"We found out that rather than being just a company, BrightState Enterprise is more like a laboratory," Sven explained.

"A laboratory?" Avery asked curiously.

Sven nodded. "Boss, for the rest..."

Mica stood up and then signaled for Sven to relax.

“Let me take it from here,” Mica said.
